Every band member of tool is what IMO is considered a master of their instruments. And their music remains relevant across the decades due to their ability to create the most unique . Well played catalogue in the world .
This was the first Tool song I ever heard. I was on the ski school bus in the winter of '96 and my friend just said "you HAVE to hear this". I was 13 years old and it was the first time in my life my mind was actually blown. 27 years later and I feel the exact same way. They are absolutely timeless.
Some days I wake up softly signing..."I'm praying for rain... I'm praying for tidal waves" since 96. It's just words that will never leave my mind I guess. F#kin Tool 🔥
I find myself with the same antisocial thoughts. I think that many interpret this song to be a cynical critique of society in general. To me it's specifically about L.A., and the shallow priorities and values of its inhabitants. If the rest of the world is wiped away too, they are semi-innocent bystanders.
I know it’s not a TOOL reaction channel but boy do I do a happy dance when I see you doing a TOOL reaction 😁 Cause Mom's gonna fix it all soon Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be Mom being Mother Nature. Look out LA and Sev “Learn to swim “ No Quarter , Bottom , H The list is endless. 🌀
The salival pushit is my favorite song! It has everything you could ever want in a song…you should do a dual reaction first the studio pushit then the salival version
Hearing this on the radio made me a Tool fan. I grew up loving Pink Floyd and I think there are significant similarities in style between the two. I love them both! Have you reacted to Sober? It’s one of my favorite Tool songs. I love your content! Hello from hot and humid Texas!
This is Maynard’s dislike of Los Angeles “California”…. He hopes (Mom) Mother Nature does the right thing, that a earthquake severe LA from the rest of the U.S. and a tidal wave sinks it….and thus we have “Arizona Bay” Great reaction 🔥🌀👁
My first TooL concert right after Ænima came out in ‘96, in Phoenix towards the beginning of the show between songs Maynard says “ We’re TooL, and one of us just recently moved to Arizona” Then at the end of show for their encore he said “I mentioned that one of us just moved to Arizona. It’s because we can’t swim!” And then immediately busted out into this song!🤘🌀
It’s not just the time signatures, but the tempo that subtly changes throughout the song. That’s one of those little nuances that actually make an huge difference in the way a recorded song sounds. Now that everyone ‘quantises’ every instrument in their band, and no longer records live, that method of adding power and feeling to a piece of music has been eliminated. Combine that with auto-tuned vocals and other instruments, and all of the nuanced human expression has been filtered out of today’s music.
Randomly, I will text one of my old ski bum friends from back in the day. I simply write "learn to swim". It long ago became short hand for "have a good day".
My man!!! I love seeing people’s reaction to discovering Tool but yours has been the best so far! I actually enjoy it almost as much as Tool itself! Keep going brother!
Tool have always reminded me a bit of what would happen if Pink Floyd and Killing Joke had offspring, because you’ve got the atmospherics of Pink Floyd, combined with the tribal rhythms and, frankly, the angst of Killing Joke. Not to mention that there are many times that Adam, Tool’s guitarist, remind me of Killing Joke’s Geordie Walker, who was also a master of using highly distorted guitar tones, to add atmosphere to songs that were otherwise dominated by strong, tribal beats from the rhythm section, and incredibly unique, thoughtful lyrics from Jaz Coleman, their singer. The similarities are particularly notable when you look at both guitarists’ use of chords one might not typically expect to find in such heavy music, and the range of techniques they employ, including arpeggiating the chords, the occasional slow strum that’s sort of halfway between an arpeggiated chord and a typical country -and-western style strum; sliding up and down the fretboard, and other techniques that don’t show up so often in heavy metal music. The ultimate similarity however, is simply the role that the guitar plays in the arrangement - which is that of an atmospheric instrument, more akin to, a keyboard, or a synthesiser than the classic sound of a rock ‘n’ roll lead guitar… Or that of a typical rock ‘n’ roll rhythm guitar, for that matter. It’s a role that hybridises the two, AND adds elements from outside any of the guitars traditional roles. As a psychedelic rock guitarist, I have studied the hell out of all of these bands’ guitar techniques. Early Pink Floyd- say, up till about 1971 or 72- featured a lot of the atmosphere at guitar. Check out “Echoes“, live in Pompeii, pts 1 and 2. I also strongly recommend Killing Joke, “Darkness Before Dawn“, or some tribal drumming and atmospheric guitar.
It’s cool, watching someone react to a tool song for the first time especially this one. I focus on the words and the meaning so much sometimes I forget how focused on the music I was before I truly paid attention to the lyrics and the meaning once you put it all together, that’s when the third eye connects to the ears and spirals around your brain and soul then when they all come together you’re addicted. but I’m just an insufferable fan.
Hey Sevsimo! From one Tool loving Aussie ( QLDER!!) fan to another, You got to do a reaction to Tool's holy trinity. Its a combination of 3 songs " Disposition-Reflection-Triad " in that order. All 3 make up to about 28minutes. I guarantee it'll take you on a journey and wont disappoint.
If you want some crunchy, choppy riffs, try the song "Better" by Helmet. That'll get the adrenaline pumping for sure (as will any other song from the Meantime album).
So glad you did this one. This is one of the best in my opinion. See you in Arizona Bay. Just how Maynard lyrics are so relevant. It's sick. And the music is in sane. That slide guitar is awesome. And that change at the end was epic.
Polo reacts just did Crawl Away. That song is one of my favorite songs to play on guitar. If you look up the definition to choppy you will find an audio link to Crawl Away by TOOL
I think it's time you discovered Mastodon ( Crack The Skye, Steambreather, The Last Baron, Oblivion...) And Between The Buried And Me ( Ants Of The Sky, Extremophile Elite, Voice Of Trespass...). You really can't choose a wrong song with either band.
Once again my friend, love your reaction!! Tool have this way of sucking you in with their almost trance like hypnosis. You can escape from reality without drugs!!
I’ve got my iced americano, let’s gooo! Edit… Lol how you kept reacting to the ad after the song ended 😂. Such a great tool song, and yeah Maynard gets a lil personal in his L.A. bashing in this one lol. Thanks for the reaction bro 🙏
I really love your enthusiasm for Tool. If you really want a Choppy drops banger you have to listen to TOOL - Opiate² (Audio) almost 10 min heavenly Tool. Not the official clip thats only 3 min long.
I desperately want you to check out the band Intronaut, song Fast Worms. Audio only, not the video. They are friends of TOOL having toured with them and had Justin (bass) play on one of their tracks "Valley of Smoke". Intronaut hits hard but will take you on a jazzy, dreamy journey of odd time signatures and meandering guitars backed by one of the grooviest drummers in modern metal, Danny Walker, as well as Joe Lester on bass. Well, not just any bass, but a fretless 5 string earthquake of doom and beauty. Anyway, Fast Worms by Intronaut. Do it.
LEARN TO SWIM!! #CHOPPYDROPS TOOL NEVER LETS YOU DOWN There is still so much more for you to check out, personally I can’t wait until you hear the Salival versions of some of their songs Before you do the Salival versions listen to the studio versions!! 💯 When is there more Sleep Token?! More Lamb of God too, seriously!!
Hello once again TCD...This album is where Tool set the template for what they'd finally matured into..I see them as the Pink Floyd of metal...Thx for the vid 👍🧐🤘✌️

Cause Mom's gonna fix it all soon
Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be
Mom being Mother Nature.
Look out LA and Sev “Learn to swim “
No Quarter , Bottom , H
The list is endless. 🌀
Haha thank you! 🙏🙏
The high-hat work on this song is downright alien. Out of this world! Absolute brilliance and so difficult to do.
I love how you ACTUALLY enjoy music and not just overreact to get views, this is the best band ever existed, no one like them in a million years🌀🔥
You need to dive into their SALIVAL LP. Check out a live recording of "PUSHIT." The TABLA percussion is MIND BLOWING! 🤞✌️
The salival pushit is my favorite song! It has everything you could ever want in a song…you should do a dual reaction first the studio pushit then the salival version
Hearing this on the radio made me a Tool fan. I grew up loving Pink Floyd and I think there are significant similarities in style between the two. I love them both! Have you reacted to Sober? It’s one of my favorite Tool songs. I love your content! Hello from hot and humid Texas!
'Before it registers you just look like a weirdo'. Perfect Tool analysis 😂

Aaahh…Tool…Feelin The Crunch!!🤘
Once you’ve heard it enough times to memorize it… it all flows together and feels cohesive..
Yay Choppy Drops! This is the song that made me a Tool addict
TOOL’s first Grammy award I believe?
The ad right after the video got me 🌀🌀🌀😂😂😂
There’s one ultimate idea in the universe - Tool delivers 🌀🌀🌀👍👍👍
My absolute favorite song period!! The lyrics are even more true today. Please flush it down now!!
im praying for tidal waves 🙏

"Feeling The Crunch?" has gotta be our new thing now
This is my all time favorite Tool song. It’s great musically, but those lyrics are everything. 🤘🏼
I thought for sure the next Tool video would have been their cover of No Quarter.
The Bass and the Drum Sound so sick in 2nd half
Randomly, I will text one of my old ski bum friends from back in the day. I simply write "learn to swim". It long ago became short hand for "have a good day".

Most bands make music. Tool makes art.

Another banger from a Maynard project is a perfect circles “ counting bodies like sheep to the rhythm of the war drums”
He doesn't know what he's missing
Your smile said it all! Thanks for the fantastic reaction!

Drowning Pool - BODIES. 🤞✌️
Always makes me smile when i see someone thinking the song is over and when they check its still got time
"Feeling the crunch?" Lmao
always drop by every TOOL reaction video to drop a LIKE, bro. They FGN rule, dude.
When you get an “Alan Watts” commercial, you know you’re in the right place.
Another EPIC Tool reaction! #TEAMCHOPPPYDROPS
Each time your release a new video, I'm hoping for Mastodon's "Jaguar God"... I'm patient.
😋
Peace !
If you want some crunchy, choppy riffs, try the song "Better" by Helmet. That'll get the adrenaline pumping for sure (as will any other song from the Meantime album).
Hamilton Page!🤘
That tone can and does Only come from the one, the only, VHT Pitbull Ultra Lead amplifier 🤘
Feeling the crunch? Yessirree!!!😅 Great reaction brother.
Tool - Jambi Live DVD. Liquid Tension Experiment - Acid Rain Live L.A.
Fam is still asleep.. watching the sunrise at the beach with you guys...thank goodness I am in Florida not Cali coast .lol
Learn to swim.
So glad you did this one. This is one of the best in my opinion. See you in Arizona Bay. Just how Maynard lyrics are so relevant. It's sick. And the music is in sane. That slide guitar is awesome. And that change at the end was epic.
Need some early TOOL. Dive into their UNDERTOW LP. FLOOD or CRAWL AWAY or SWAMP SONG or BOTTOM, please. 🤞✌️
Polo reacts just did Crawl Away. That song is one of my favorite songs to play on guitar. If you look up the definition to choppy you will find an audio link to Crawl Away by TOOL
The song that got me into Tool! Love it bro!
Best dis track ever
This is one of the maybe three greatest metal songs of all time. Maybe number one.
I can't imagine why you wouldn't
welcome any change, my friend.
I think it's time you discovered Mastodon ( Crack The Skye, Steambreather, The Last Baron, Oblivion...) And Between The Buried And Me ( Ants Of The Sky, Extremophile Elite, Voice Of Trespass...). You really can't choose a wrong song with either band.
Hands down my favorite Tools song. The lyrics are amazing!
I always imagine the end of this song is a rain dance 🤘
Once again my friend, love your reaction!! Tool have this way of sucking you in with their almost trance like hypnosis. You can escape from reality without drugs!!
ooooooooooooooh boy what a ride AGAIN!
So deep in the rabbit hole now bro!
This song wakes me up better than coffee
Judith from Meynard's other band A Perfect Circle' needs to be on the list!
Aaahhh Danny...
sevsimo, learn to swim. lol. ✌️
At least he doesn't drink a lattè 😂
I’ve got my iced americano, let’s gooo!
Edit… Lol how you kept reacting to the ad after the song ended 😂. Such a great tool song, and yeah Maynard gets a lil personal in his L.A. bashing in this one lol. Thanks for the reaction bro 🙏
I really love your enthusiasm for Tool. If you really want a Choppy drops banger you have to listen to TOOL - Opiate² (Audio) almost 10 min heavenly Tool. Not the official clip thats only 3 min long.
Yes choppy drops 🎉
MOM is back and she's pissed!
I desperately want you to check out the band Intronaut, song Fast Worms. Audio only, not the video. They are friends of TOOL having toured with them and had Justin (bass) play on one of their tracks "Valley of Smoke". Intronaut hits hard but will take you on a jazzy, dreamy journey of odd time signatures and meandering guitars backed by one of the grooviest drummers in modern metal, Danny Walker, as well as Joe Lester on bass. Well, not just any bass, but a fretless 5 string earthquake of doom and beauty.
Anyway, Fast Worms by Intronaut. Do it.
you’ll love these lyrics, like all TOOL songs.
Loved the reaction, think you should give porcupine tree anesthetize live a reaction
Tool builds up into Tool
Team Choppy Drops Formal Request: Ticks & Leeches and/or You Lied (Live) - which is a cover of a Peach song aka Justin's old band.

To me this song is like the Tool Army anthem. 😂
Eh nim uh. Like the procedure that flushes the shit out

Lyrics are good on this one. Angry, but much less nihilistic than the Undertow LP. Please note: Never give Maynard the Infinity Stones!
Sev would love to see you do Gojira- Art of Dying (Live at Vielles Charrues)
