- We answered the tool army comments and did a reaction to Lateralus by Tool! This was a live version of Lateralus and take it from us, it was an experience! First time hearing Lateralus by Tool was really therapeutic in some ways, but they are absolute geniuses how they perform their songs. Stay strapped for the next episode.

You really need to hear the studio version to this as well, live is cool and you see all the effects and artistic design they use, but this version sounds distorted and not crisp and beautifully clear like the studio version. They do make some use of the Fibonacci math sequence in this song (1,2,3,5,8,13, etc) and if you keep adding all the numbers you get a spiral, which can be seen naturally over and over in nature, such as in nautilus shells, rams horns, bird plumage colors, butterflies, plants , just on and on. So when he says spiral out that is part of that sequence but he's also saying our own consciousness and evolution is also like an infinite unfolding spiral and he urges us to keep on going, to keep exploring our own humanity.
I came here to say that this version doesn't do the song justice. Even just the insane delay on Maynard made it jumbled and gross through the majority of this.
What he said. I was too stoned to type it all out
It is an experience to be sure
Tool is incredible...period.
They just picked a bad video. They're one of the few bands I've seen live who sound like the cd in person. This is just a bad recording because of how anal they are about people doing it. If it was taken from a performance they released, youd think it was lipsynced
Since you like the drums so much, you should definitely check out Danny Carey's live drum cam performance of Pnuema. Great song and great drumming.
The Drum CAM is absolutely perfect. TOOL is FOREVER
yeeeeeees! I concur, sir!
YES. The Danny Carey drum cam of “Pneuma” sponsored by Vic Firth.
THIS!!!
It's on the Vic Firth channel.
Gotta happen now!
The verse pattern is based on the Fibonacci sequence, and ties in with the drum timing and lyrics. Musical genius.
I'm so glad somebody said it!! I was just listening to the audio while I was working thinking "Somebody gotta tell these dudes about the numerology that goes into the construction of these songs."
@@chuckiechuck909 The hell you mean "someone finally said it? Nobody can react to this god-damned song without at least a hundred pretentious fans spamming the comment section with what is objectively the least important part of the song 😂
RIGHT! Classic Tool, following the song with head nodding goes "what?!", this song is wild!
Thank you so much for exploring Tool. 46&2 is something that you may want to take a look at. The subject of the song is the next stage in humanity's evolution.
The writing process for Tool is the band members( Danny Carey - drums, Justin Chancellor - bass, and Adam Jones - guitar) create the music and then send it to Maynard James Keenan to write lyrics to the songs. Also Adam Jones before creating the band worked in special effects for movies such as Jurassic Park, Nightmare on Elm street, Terminator, etc. and he's the driving force in the art and visuals. Hopefully this gives little insight. Enjoy the reactions! 🔥🤘🔥
Yo what the fuck?! That's nuts! Hell of a resume lol
Yep! Took a lot of nuts to leave a gig like that to pursue his music career, but I think it all turned out alright in the end. Lol looks like a no brainer on this end tho. Glad he had the guts to pursue his passion.
Definitely listen to the studio version boys...and chuck some headphones on for the ultimate experience!!
The "sound effect" you're referring to in the intro is actually the sound of a mother's heartbeat as heard by the baby inside the womb...then infacy, the red and yellow, then intuition, etc...
Where it gets really trippy is how the whole song ties into the fibonacci sequence (0-1-1-2-3-5-8-13...)
The intro is exactly 1:12 (1-1-2)
Number of syllables
Black (1)
And (1)
White-are (2)
All-I-see (3)
In-my-in-fan-cy (5)
Red-and-yel-low-then-came-to-be (8)
Rea-ching-out-to-me (5)
Let's-me-see (3)
Do listen to the studio version with top shelf headphones, and down the rabbit hole you go...
Schism is also a kicka** breakup song, super deep!
As others have suggested...listen to the album versions of tool songs first before giving live performances a go. The distortion, the slight echo and slightly different delivery in this versus the album version makes this not as impactful as it should be. That and the visuals can be just distracting in this setting where you are partially taking the song in and pausing every few minutes to dissect what you see and hear. Album > live for first listen 👍
I reeeaaally hope they listened to the studio version afterward. The big build section at the end that they said didn't fit is likely due to all the distortion and echoes. When it's all clean and balanced, it's incredible and ties the entire song together
Hey De and Dre! I'm actually in the "pause it and rewind it as much as you need to, to take it in" camp. It can be grating, sometimes, for fans of the material to have to sit and wait for that cathartic release of a bass drop or what have you while you talk about what you're thinking, but at the end of the day, we've heard these songs a million times, if we want to play it all the way through to feel satisfied, we can go and do that. As a fan of the reaction/review channels and the personalities therein, I care less about hearing a song in a straight shot all the way through, and more about what you, the reactor, the dude with the camera poised on your face, the mics cued to your voice, have to say about it. And, even though I'm a huge Tool nerd, and have been listening to them, at least casually, for two decades now and in earnest for 7-8 years, I get just as much out of these reactions as you two do, if not more. It's like looking at a puzzle or word search for too long, and then someone random comes along and finds that piece or word that you've been spending 10 minutes to find. You bring a new perspective to the discussion and it helps me to see stuff I may have overlooked or just taken for granted all this time. Hope you two are well! Peace and love to you and yours.
I'm in the same camp and I 100% agree with everything you just said
i second these emotions
Amen.
The best part of the reaction:
Dre: “We got to watch ‘Pneumonia’ or something like that… the drum cam version…”
You guys will get there… :)
Pneuma my man 💪
@@joeyattaway756 Pneumonia is the most sick TOOL track ever, no lie.
Thank you from the TOOL Army for continuing your TOOL journey! I understand why the final section doesn't feel like it fits here to you. In this live version, they had a long section in the middle that is not part of the studio version but was probably very appreciated by the fans in attendance. Note also that TOOL is known to musically participate in the progressive rock genre (they fall in several genres), so their songs build, and build, and build, and build, usually to an explosive finish. Oftentimes their songs will build slowly, explode, switch to something softer, build again, and rinse repeat. The final section perhaps musically makes more sense in the studio version (as others noted below). Keep on rocking! xD
I just subscribed for 3 reasons.
1. I love your respect for the genre and its adherents.
2. You really grapple with what is being presented unlazily, as opposed to surface level reaction.
3. I wanna get your understanding of more metal music.
You two are spot on. Maynard brings lyrics after the music and hits the lyrics with the beats even though it's odd timing and it fits. Nice job!
You can hear Jazz, Early Metal, Pink Floyd, the Grateful Dead, and the scene from LA at the time permeate through the music.
You guys are so smart, please keep doing TOOL. You catch so so much of jt don't second guess yourself too much, it's basically impossible to fully and perfectly interpret a TOOL song on your first listen, lots even gave several equally likely meanings... but stuff like "wow the singer is in the back" and "that drummer must be a math genius" you guys seem like you know what you're talking about. Please keep the TOOL coming I'd love to hear your thoughts on Parabol/Parabola. Studio or live idc
You guys are the best!
You need to hear the studio version this is a pretty bad recording.
More Tool!
You guys are awesome! Spiral 🌀 Out! Keep Going!
I think it's the way this is recorded, but I have to agree with the the other comments that this is not the best Tool performance I've ever seen. They pride themselves on sounding as good live as they do in the studio. The echo in the recording takes away from the full Tool experience.
There's a reason we long-suffering fans waiting 13 years between the release of 10,000 Days in 2006 & Fear Inoculum in 2019!
Lateralus was originally named "9-8-7" ... which is the 16th number in the Fibonacci sequence... If you notice the time signatures and corresponding lyrical patterns are all in that mathematical sequence ... from the chord progression to even the syllables Maynard sings... this song is truly a work of art!!!
Just stumbled across this channel. Its INSANE how much you guys catch on a first listen of a distorted-sounding live audio version of such a complex song. Please continue to react to Tool songs and most likely Tool Army will boost your channel big time!
Thanks for a great reaction. A lot of people don't hear what you guys are hearing and its cool to know that you actually get it and its a true reaction. So, I know you mentioned needing headphones... Would love to see a reaction to either a better recorded live show or the studio recording... with headphones. It's difficult to listen to Tool in parts because each part affects the next and as a viewer, I want you to experience the full effect.Two reasons I watch reactions: To see the immediate reaction of how the music moves the listener and to get comments. It would probably be more work but you're already at 40 minutes with your reactions. Perhaps doing two reactions. One where you just listen and then the next when you break down and comment on what you are hearing. Or if you are concerned about not pausing the video perhaps there would be a way to insert the comments from the second listen. Knowing that you are not actually pausing I think would make the reaction more real. Also in the future if you do Parabol and Parabola... they are really one song, IMO. And when people reacting to it pause between them, it is deflating as a viewer. But you guys are great and your intelligence and honest reactions are not lost on me... and they won't be lost on most Tool fans either. One last thing I might add... IMO you kind of landed on the top of the mountain. Tool is their own genre and there really isn't anything else like them. They are kind of like Led Zeppelin... Other bands want to sound like them but just can't. Both bands are difficult to pigeonhole into one genre but, IMO, they are separate from everyone else... and although I think Tool was influenced by Zeppelin they don't really sound very much alike. Cheers. One last thing. I have been to a few Tool concerts and they are unlike anything else. The energy is almost tangible and kind of just flows through you. Very much an experience. And I was not under the influence although to pay $8 for a bottle of water there, it would have been a good excuse.
Trust me when you hear studio version and read the lyrics the last part of the song makes a perfect sense.
Good job. Their lyrics are not for the faint of heart.
#ToolArmy
I feel like tool is perfect for these 2 guys to interpret and elaborate on, very intelligent
Danny Carey is the drummer for tool. He holds a PhD in theoretical physics.
You gentlemen made me realize that most of the react videos I see are lacking in several categories, including interpretations of the lyrics. I love how music touches everyone a little differently. Thanks for a react video done right.
P.S. I am glad I am not the only that can’t absorb everything a tool song has to offer in one go.
My best friend and I were 2nd row center for this tour. He had a pot pipe in his hand, waiting for the lights to go down, so he could smoke. We were so enthralled, he never even lit it and was still holding it when we walked out. I've seen Tool on every tour, minus the current one, and it KILLS me that I haven't gone!
You nailed it about Anti-ego. Maynard is often in the background or even in disguise because he wants you to focus on the experience and not the singer.
Seeing them live in concert is an amazing experience. First time I saw them I walked out mesmerized by the light show and videos that were timed to the music. Best show I’ve ever seen.
Great reaction! You described it best at the end, progressive rock in general is about the journey, and as you also started to see, it's basically like multiple songs in one, a big part of progressive rock is the transitions into seemingly completely different songs and then the pull back in, it's a whole experience, I listen to literally all types of music, but Tool has been one of my favorite bands for a long time.
I highly recommend checking out the Tool - Pneuma Live Vic Firth Danny Carey Drum Cam video to see up close how insane that man is on the drums, definitely one of the greatest drummers of all time, some other good songs I'd recommend are (besides mostly their entire discography, honestly they don't really miss, just gotta be able to feel the vibe they got goin)
Right In Two
Aenima
Jambi
JAMBI!
Love your reaction! You guys go deep....
If i remember correctly the band finish the song and Maynard, the singer, then writes the lyrics. He is inspired by the music so to say. Spiral out keep going guys!!! Check the audio version because this song deserves it
Tool is like a good book on philosophy. You see or hear something new everytime you look to it.
If you want to get a good feel for the vibe of these guys live you need to do Third Eye Salival live with video. It's produced and sounds flawless.
Listen to entire albums the way we did back in the 90's and 00's on Cassette and CD.
Hidden tracks, Backward messages, Interludes, Segues. Don't miss out on the ALBUM experience. 🤞✌️🔥
Definitely need the studio version too
Live version is cool, but a lot of the music (including the ending bit) is kind of ruined by the terrible audio quality. Maybe in future stick to studio audio :)
The instrumental takes you on a trip and the vocals are your guide
De and Dre, thanks for reacting to this forsaken band! Pneuma drum cam is insane and this song right here exploring the Fibonacci sequence changes the game for music forever! Long live Tool!
My cousin came back home on leave from the military and he tagged along with us last minute to a Tool (Lateralus tour) concert. He had never even heard of Tool lol the look of uncertainty on his face in the beginning was hilarious. About halfway through the show he turns to me and says “I feel like I’m being brainwashed and I don’t even mind” 😂 he was a fan after that show
I'm so excited having new people get into this!!!
Very insightful reaction. I remember seeing an interview in which I heard MJK imply he stands behind the drums so the cymbal crashes don't interfere with his mic...
And yes! Their shows are AMAZING. And the sound and timing is near perfection.
I definitely recommend listening to the studio version with a GOOD pair of headphones. Strap yourselves in for one heck of a ride! (You’ll be glad you did!)
The beat NEVER ENDS ♾️ it SPIRALS OUT 🌀‼️
You guys would appreciate the drum cam video of Danny Carey playing Pneuma live!
Edit: Another great video is 46 & 2 with explanation! It'll give you a deeper insight into Maynard's mind. Besides any song from Tool is an absolute must!
Please listen to the studio version
It's a must
Thank you...they ARE an ensemble of musical geniuses 👏🙏🤓
I’ve seen Tool live like 6 times and it’s a religious experience every time 🖤
TOOL ARMY!! I've seen the band perform live twice, and Maynard was behind a white sheet, and all you could see was his silhouette! At one point, my sister and myself made it up to the front row, and a she was dancing, he was doing exactly what she was doing!! Mind blowing!
Tool DEFINITELY takes you on a musical journey!!
This song was built off of the Fibonacci sequence, which is represented by a spiral, mathematically. 1, 1+1, then 1+2, then 2+3, then 3+5, then 5+8. The sum of the previous numbers, added to the amount of the first number, forever goes on in a spiral. In the first verses of the song, count the syllables. It goes "black" 1, "then" 1, "white are" 2, "all I see" 3, "in my infancy" 5, "red and yellow then came to me" 8, "reaching out to me" 5, "let's me see" 3.
This is my favorite song and when he goes into the part where he says "I embrace my...desire to" i almost got a tat of that wrapped around my body in RUNE text!!!!!!!!!!
ALL TOOL soundscapes are therapeutic for me. TOOL and meditation saved my life and I couldn't be more grateful. I've listened to them since 1995 and I STILL get chill bumps when I listen to them. I've seen them live about a dozen times and all I can say is WOW! I took my husband to see the Fear Inoculum show here in Tampa and he was blown away. He hates my music, and I don't like his either but one thing we can both agree on is that TOOL is in a class all of their own. No one can enter their world and not get something out of it. Thanks to Maynard, Adam, Danny and Justin for 29 years of life changing music!
Tool is a tool. Therapeutic music💜
I’ve been a Tool fan since first hearing “Sober” in 93,I’ve been fortunate enough to see them live 4 times & from what I’ve seen watching Tool reaction videoes every single person after watching/hearing 1 song is an immediate Tool fan…..keep the spiral going fellas 🖤🥶🤪
How self aware you guys are is fire!!!
Whoa! I've been watching your reactions, and I'm really impressed by your insight. I first heard TOOL on acid in 1996, I've seen them multiple times. I think the first time Maynard was behind a sheet in the back. I was right up front, ready to get shoved against the stage and stone cold sober as we crossed the border from canada to see them. After a few minutes I realized I need to see this from above. And found a seat. It was days after 9/11/ 2001 and Maynard recognized our fear and gratitude for being together. I watched as a sea of people moved as one and, unusually, I was happy that I was sober. A TOOL concert is an experience, thought and time don't exist. You're correct there is no ego and the enormity of what is happening makes me weep every.single.time. because it's just so beautiful that those 4 people found each other. There's no need for drugs, no judgment to those ho attend high. The intesity of the performance and art work and watching it vibrate across a stadium is more than enough and has made me realize how beautiful life is. Your comments on the "switch" in the song were really thoughtful, I can't say I've ever felt that, I always felt it changed while maintaining the same feel and I can hear the "spiral" throughout the song. I feel that even though there was something lost in watching a live video you still managed to take another step towards fully understanding what we see. I've always felt TOOL follows a pattern akin to a sexual experience, one I've noticed in almost every song this one especially , which adds yet another complex mystery to their insanely human but divine experience. Great job from a shitty recording! If you get a chance go see them and find a good seat, Mind enhancement provided naturally. But thats just me. Thanks
I love ya’lls reactions to Tool. For only hearing the song once y’all are on point more than most. I’ve listened to this song at least twice a week for 22 years, and I still discover something new. As I get older, I hear it a little different. That’s the genius of Maynard. Open interpretations. And I don’t mind the stopping. I just don’t want y’all to miss a drop.
You two are so insightful and I love the analysis. I've been a fan of Tool for years but I love hearing your takes.
Watching “SOBER” live… Maynard in orange jumpsuit , bent forward and just belting it out from the depths. Mind blown !Really enjoying your appreciation,content and looking deeper . It’s definitely a journey. Had to laugh about the running the woods👏🏻
Its amazing you guys picked up on the non egotystical element of the music. You must listen to Aenima. They destroy the egotysticalism of LA. That song is so different and the vocals stand out in that song more so than most of their others.
Wow, I've watched a lot of reaction vids, some more real than others. But this is tied as my favourite song ever (along with The Decline by NOfX) and hearing such a genuine first time reaction to such genius is awesome to witness. Especially De, your initial thoughts are very insightful and made me consider new things about the song, or just be impressed by how quick you grasped some of this very deep art. I'm in the same boat when you've said you listen to the music first and don't focus lyrics. I've been a Tool fan for a couple decades now, and I still don't know half their lyrics lol. Thanks for giving me the joy of getting to witness the beauty of seeing someone witness absolute genius for the first time, and also giving me new insight to my favourite music. PLEASE SEE THEM LIVE!!! It's indescribably beautiful!!
I was lucky enough to see tool in 1993, as well as two other shows in the 2000’s. You guys are just fantastic. Don’t worry about that stuff! We’ll get over it!!!!😂
I saw Tool 6 times in the SE Michigan area between 96 and 98. Great to see new listeners react, thank you!
The challenge of this song is the therapy. It’s meant for someone looking deeper into philosophical based life outlooks
And I second the drum cam!!! You mention the drummer is a math genius, yes! He writes some songs based on sacred geometry. That’s why it gets you in the feels! Among many other things
Love your Tool breakdowns! Go Dawgs!
Just now finding you guys, 3 months after your 1st Tool react. I'll watch you're most recent video next before I start commenting on your reactions... I'll just drop this nugget here:
Tool not only helped pull me out of active addiction, the lyrics from their song Pushit, literally saved my life ❤️
pause and comment as much as you want/need, But we/I need you to promise that you will have another listen in your own time, with headphones :)
Seen Tool 3 times! Best live show out there! (Also seen A Perfect Circle and Puscifer)
I’ve been to a ton of concerts, seen everyone from Clapton, The Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath to The Beastie Boy, Metallica, Pentatonix, Twista, System of a Down, to many to name.
But the Tool concerts I’ve been to have been amazing, best concert going experiences I’ve had.
Great reaction guys! Since Tool doesn't have many 'official live videos' I'd suggest going with lyric videos. Official videos can be distracting to some people especially with Tool videos.
Another suggestion if you want to go deeper into rock music would be Bloodywood. They are a metal band from India and they are the most wholesome people in music in my opinion. The songs I would suggest starting with would be Aaj, Jee Veerey or if you are feeling especially wild Dana Dan is an intense banger! Enjoy!
Great reaction guys, just watched The Pot reaction and had to see what else you had reacted to of Tool. This song is truly a masterpiece. Not the greatest recording of it but you get the vibe. One of the best live performances ever recorded was Tool's 'Sober' . I hope you react to it and Danny Carey's Drum video Pnuema live.
Very happy to be new subscriber, here representing my Army and your take on our Band
Oh, one other that is incredible to showcase the lead singers voice more is ' Judith' by A Perfect Circle, Maynards 2nd band.
And the background light show plays into the lyrics perfectly. Everything tells the story. I’m a drummer and the time changes are insane! Like you said, he must be a math genius.
When you guys described the parts of the group adding to a whole unit to make something great (like a cake) ... that is the exact definition of the word synergy.
Synergy is where the sum of its part that come together to create something more powerful than the parts individual.
Also I'd like to say that the live acoustic didn't do the song justice. The studio version is required! Love the channel, love listening to people with some sence in their heads for once. Subbed
Tool Fool here, in the Tool Army since the beginning.. Truly enjoy listening to your analysis. You described how they write-Maynard writes his part after the music is pretty laid down. Very good pickups on your part. The guitarist Adam Jones was asked why he doesn't "rock out" when he plays, he said he was too busy counting in his head.
One of the very hard and enjoyable things about listening to Tool is that it makes you remember who you are. And who you could be. It's like Eckhart Tolle thru hard 🪨.
I got to see their set when they were on tour for Lateralus...it was pretty freaking epic!
It literally took me over 20 years to really appreciate and understand the genius of TOOL. As an 18 yr old kid hearing Sober I loved it right away but it was just another “jam”. Years go by and I started really listening to more of their music and I started to get it. Headphones help dramatically. TOOL let me know when I was ready for TOOL and the whole experience. Enjoy the ride.
To watch the Lateralus Fibonacci sequence video. It shows the talent they have when it comes to writing a song and explains a lot about the song
You guys are smart and good analysis. Now you know how it looks but the sound quality robs you of the songs real experience. Never go wrong with the studio track and lyrics pulled up. I enjoyed watching nonetheless. Live in real life is something you'll never forget or have anything to compare to.
Great honest, insightful review. Agree with others that the studio version will be a better listen, and maybe worth doing soon. Absolutely loved the analysis at the end.
I do listen to tool for therapy. The music touches me deeply, takes me on a journey… I think more deeply.
Yes. I listen to Tool for therapy! Tool is therapy! Their entire discography is all about internal transformation to the best human being you can be.
I and my spouse really enjoyed the reaction of the pot yall did. That being said, yall did yourselves a disservice by listening to this live version first. It does not do the song justice.
Fibonacci Sequence. 😉
They are giving Tool praises, but nowhere near as much as they deserve.
HAHA, you guys are fun. I've seen every new Tool album tour since Aenima ('97). Took my son to last one. I'm kinda jaded from seeing SO many, so seeing my son enjoy them for 1st time made it new and exciting for me.
May have to take you guys to the next new Album tour!!! 😄
Tool Army!! Love your reactions... Just found you; guys going to see TOOL in Rochester New York for the third time in November 2023 so excited!! And the black and white is all I see in my infancy is because when you're baby all you can see is in black and white then other colors develop FYI
The guitarist, Adam Jones, creates all of the visuals. He was a special fx artist before being in Tool full time and worked on movies like Jurassic Park and Terminator 2.
I think the idea that Tool is a very "introspective" band fits perfectly. Every aspect of their approach is very thoughtful and deep. In many ways our culture has moved to the "external" as the primary focus and lost some the elements that really push us to look inward.
For many the external is safe because there is something to grab onto but to evolve and grow it takes that looking inward and becoming truly aware of ones self that can be one of the most uncomfortable experiences in life. Keep listening guys...and if you get a chance to listen with some headphones without any distractions you'll take even more away from the experience.
My number 1 live TooL song is pushit. It can be found here on RUclips with the lyrics. But you have to hear the album version first, to really understand how truly awesome the live version is. Its explained by Maynard in the beginning of the live version. This version made me look at Maynard as a singer in a very different light, it really opened my eyes to how amazing he really is vocally, and also how the band members literally changed a song without changing it.
You are correct. It is absolutely therapy
You are so good. Great analysis!
I saw them twice when i was a teenager (I’m 38 by the way) and both times at completely opposite venues and wow. First was an outdoor theater that some seats and then lawn. The second was at the place where Houston Rockets played (can’t think of name) and it was MIND BOTTLING!!! Yes, bottling like thoughts trapped in bottle. Holy crap on an altar Batman! You could feel the entire place freaking pulsing with the sound. I mean, when they played a song and then had a heavy buildup drop, it was crazy. The floor was trembling under our feet and the bass is bumping in your chest. Guitar comes into hit you as like the driving force behind Maynard’s voice, to make SURE you get it…… yeah…
Also 38, so that would have been The Summit. Turned into compaq center after then the thing we do not speak of. Great shows there. Seen them like 8 or 9 times now mostly in Houston. Toyota center was pretty recent and was great.
@@Gorfeind YES YOU TOTALLY FEEL ME THEN LOL Stupid thou-who-must-not-be-named
Great job guys! Ya, thats what genius looks like when you put 4 of them together... glad y'all liked and dug in...
also please do more tool! love your perspectives
The studio version would have been much better for the first listen. But they're one of those bands that do justice to their music live.
Just found your channel! Loving your reactions!
TOOL army always gets thru!!!! If you don't feel it already, you will.
I've seen them live in may, it was mindblowing to say the least!
If you get the chance to see them live, go for it!!!
But I agree to the other commenters, probably better to listen to the crisp studio versions first. This was indeed a very distorted version of the song. 😉
Tools music is indeed intended to make you uneasy every once in a while. Like life is not a soft, cosy pillow to cuddle into all the time and you need to be open to that.
Their music is no easy listening, it will take you above and beyond. 😅
Guys! It fits!!!💯 do a reaction to the studio version! Put the headphones on and this will become your favorite tool song… try it. You will NOT be disappointed…
The whole song is in the timing , it is based on the Fibonacci Sequence , a natural mathematical phenomenon in the world we live in . The way that the 3 members write the music then Maynard takes his time to find the words that fit the music . Maynard is a Genius , his ability to produce wine and words that we consume are legendary . His vineyard is producing Award winning wines and the words that come from that experience is shown in Tool's songs .
Tool's ability to weave so many thoughts into their songs is why they are so loved .
Lateralus is an amazing mathematical song not just as a listening product but a living entity itself .
Maynard wants the music to be in the front and the words to follow the music behind . He wants the lead singer role to be not a lead singer but an integral part of the band . That's why he isn't in a spot light , he is hooded and in the background .
