I'm commenting here so everybody sees. If tool tours again I will personally put $100 bucks on getting Preston to the closest Tool show near him. He can set up the go fund me and I bet we will support enough. Best reactions and thoughts on the music on this site. I have no problem giving back to help this man see Maynard.
i don't know under what terms we could choose "the best band ever in general" but definitely, with no fucking doubt... tool is the most unique authentic special band ever, they simply exist in they own genre, no band still today can do that...so yes wtf, probably the best band ever haha
It's literally the human experience, people that hate Tool are afraid of their mortality and don't like their third eye even cracked as it would acknowledge that their lives are finite and fleeting.
Your top three. Tool. Pink Floyd. Iron Maiden. Brother, that is a dang fine list. You just listed three of the most musically intricate bands out there. You sir, have good taste.
TBH, I'm not into Iron Maiden. Never gave it a listen. The fact taht KTF lists them with Tool and Floyd makes me feel like maybe I have fucked up. What would you recommend I start with?
"We are eternal, all this pain is an illusion" This song got me through some rough times. So much so I had those lyrics tattooed on my back for my first tattoo as a reminder.
*THIS IS MY THEME SONG* I've lived with Chronic pain and over 10 surgeries since I was 20 and I'm 38 now. big ass chunk of bone sawed out of my knee, bilateral mastectomy, two back surgeries with disc removal and rods and plates installed, appendix removal, two inguinal hernia surgeries, sinus rooto rooter turbinate surgery, spinal facet joint nerve cauterization, and more. Wrist surgery coming up soon...degenerative joints and arthritis all over. All while being a college athlete, getting a dual bachelor's chemistry/biology then working 12 to 16 hour shifts as a chemist in a power plant. Hard not to say fuck it and go on disability sometimes, but I will be a productive citizen until I cannot possibly work anymore damnit. I throw this song on when it gets real bad. TOOL is the best band ever. There are a lot of great bands....I listen to everything from Tove Lo, Major Lazer, old school rap, classical, Led Zeppelin, Slipknot, Sia, Sade, Disturbed, APC, Puscifer, anything but country basically. I can't fucking stand country and I'm a white dude gun owner living in BFE, MO. Stereotypes say I should be rockin' banjo music. But there's TOOL, then there's everything else. Nobody is as creative, experimental, complex, and consistently amazing. Nobody. People come close, but nobody reaches that level IMO. Maynard's voice is aging but he's the best vocalist and lyricist ever and his bandmates are right up there in their craft as well with Danny being the best rock drummer as well. Of course that's all subjective/opinion....
Check out Sunday Valley or Sturgill Simpson solo shit if you want to hear real country. I have hated country my whole life until I found him and Tyler Childers. Whitehouse Road by Tyler or Turtles All The Way Down by Sturgill. They will never play this shit on any radio station. Tool is the best band ever and their music is black magic. I too live in constant pain and it's never easy, but good friends/family, good music and good ganja will help ya pull through! Keep on keeping on brother, much love from the smokey mountains!
These songs in tandem are among my favorites that Tool has done. The message and the way they deliver it is just incredible. The transition from Parabol to Parabola just hits you. When they play this live, no words for it.
Dude.....ive been so down, so hurt, so lost. Its been soooo hard to look at the few positives i have in my life. Seems so dark. But Preston, i thank you from the bottom of my heart for your message tonight. I felt as if that was said just for me. Shed a tear bro. I THANK YOU
Skrilla same, I needed to hear that part about careful what you think cuz it will come to pass wether that’s good or bad. I wanna watch this dude listen to so many TOOL songs now haha
For real man. I’m going through active heroin addiction, self medicating from late stage Lyme disease and the pain and extreme fatigue n extreme depression that came with it. These videos, at least for the duration stop my depression!!! Thanks Pres
I have to say as a huge fan of Tool, I really appreciate how enthusiastic you are with the band and how emotional you get when you listen to them. I still get goosebumps when I hear their music and I've been listening to them for over 20 yrs. You should really go back to the beginning to hear them raw. The first EP they did was called Opiate. Keep rock'n my brother. Also give Type o negative : Love you to death a listen, you won't be disappointed.
opiate is still my favorite tool track ... i remember the first time i heard it it just blew me away .. been a fan ever since .. i was 12 when i first heard it .. im 38 now .. everything MJK touches is gold ... but tool will always be number 1 .. maynard is the stephen hawkings of music .. hahaha
@@michaelszczekot8920 I personally boycotted Pink Floyd when Roger Waters publicly criticized Israel, sided with Palestine and praised the actions of H*tler & The N*zi's
My all time favorite Tool song....I have muscular dystrophy and "this body holding me, reminds me of my own mortality, embrace this moment and remember, we are eternal all this pain is an illusion" this is the perfect song not just for me but many people that have a struggle in their lives.....Preston bro, check out "3 Libras" by a perfect circle ⭕️
Matty Perry 3 Libras is definitely one of my Favorite songs by APC. It made me very emotional the first time I ever heard it. I still get emotional when I think about someone that I loved in the past and they didn't realize I loved them.
I feel you, I have severe lumbar scholiosis and its been a pain over all my life, specially since I love exercising, but I feel that out own flesh prisons are what make us appreciate what we do have and what we can do, without it, life would be meaningless and too perfect, this body holding us reminds us we are not alone, brother.
I have lupus, fibromyalgia, and other autoimmune diseases. I simply cannot tell you how much these songs, with Lateralus, The Patient, and a bit of Ænima (the song) probably actually saved my life when the pain gets so bad I can't bear it. Those lyrics have meant so very much for a long time. I can't wait to hear Tool's next installment in the soundtrack of my life.
They ARE the best band ever. The way they write their music is so refined and thoughtful, soulful and true to the art of making music. I always view them as the most famous band nobody knows, except for the millions of tool fans, because.... They're in the know. And I like that about them. It's special.
Listening to them is like eating dry sand to me, being a rock/metal prog fan, and I have tried very hard to like them. For me their music just isn't "tasty", I don't find any flavour. Their music doesn't "shine". Tastes, eh. At least they have some great songs here and there like Parabol/Parabola.
I love your passion for good music, I feel you bro, not all people appreciate and really hear and feel good music to some it's just background noise in their lives
@@nathanbaca5131 I wouldn't say there is NO comparison. I would argue they use similar techniques to achieve different sounds, that's why I called them the heavier cousin of tool.I They both take polyrhythms, odd time signatures and technical skills to achieve their sounds.

"Tool might be the best band ever" - FACT! I actually yelled out a "HOLD ON BRUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" when I heard you say that! In my humble opinion they are the best band ever, just slightly edging out Led Zeppelin
King, Tools last album was in 2006, Maynard says that the new album will be on shelves in 2019, possibly April next year, cant wait. Tool Concert brother. time.
Jamie Mathieson crazy it’s been that long because I initially laugh at the comment of “earlier” tool. Freshman in college and remember going to store to get it, pop it in my buddy’s car stereo and the look we all gave each other when that opening sequence of grudge started playing.
Best live show there is. Seen them 3 times and they never disappoint. Love when they play Stinkfist live, right before “I’ll keep digging” they always have a different jam leading up to it and it’s always dope.
Also their guitarist Adam Jones coordinates their light shows. Amazing visuals. I wish I could’ve seen Floyd back in their heyday but these guys are the next best thing as far as a concert stage performance goes.
That is awesome! And that was an off-album tour. We caught them that year in Daytona. I always enjoy their stripped down shows like that! Just 2 hours of pure awesomeness!
Saw Tool right after 9/11 in NYC. I knew about Tool, but my friend got tickets and pretty much convinced me to see them live. My musical life hasn't been the same since. A living life experience. I thank the Gods I saw them on the Laterlus tour, my favorite album so far. Tool are THEE band of the 90's/00's. Word!!! Preston, just to change it up...try the band YES and listen to 'Heart of the Sunrise'. YES changed my young life back in the day. Give them a go!
I have no doubt Lateralus will go down and be spoken of like a holy Grail of modern prog metal rock, 10,000 days is unbelievable too, i feel underrated
I love Tool, best band ever!!! Everyone of their songs has a meaning and quintessentially done masterfully. I am in awe everytime I listen to one of their tracks. Can't wait to hear their new album 😁😁😁
Tool is such an amazing experience that everyone should have . Mayanrd’s voice gives me the chills and just feels comforting . And it doesn’t matter how many times I listen to them , I continuously get goosebumps every time. Their music is so phenomenal and empowering . They are literally my favorite band and EVERY song is just amazing . I’m happy that you’re enjoying this amazing band . I went to one of their concerts back in November and I was speechless the whole time . They have all these psychedelic visuals and shit , such an experience. You should check out his other band A Perfect Circle 👌🏻👌🏻
@@runyunhyde4373 between those two songs I'd pick terrible lie, one of my favorites. Something I can never have is really good too but he may think it's too depressing lol. I'd like to hear Kinda I want to or Sin
Most definitely. Then Rosetta Stoned. Once you pry open your third eye you’ll be able to fully appreciate the epic trip that is Rosetta stoned. Just don’t forget your pen.
How about doing a double feature on the song "No Quarter" - First the Led Zeppelin version (original) and then the Tool version. Both OP tracks. Cheers
Needs to be done, really puts into perspective how good and innovative Tool really are, taking a 7 minute Led Zeppelin song and turning it into an 11 minute masterpiece
Dude!!! About time you reviewed this song! I've been vocal about it since I saw your first couple of Tool reviews. This song is straight up fire🔥 I crank it on at the gym and that's it.
Yay!!! Preston!!! So glad you finally reacted to this song. Yes, you were awestruck!! I love watching your reactions. Tool does create masterpieces. Their songs are experiences! So glad you're able to appreciate their artistry. ❤️
Dude I can’t even tell you what this song is like live, with the crowd and arms up,🤘in the air, swaying and singing with everything you’ve got. Damn it feel amazing to be alive in that moment
So excited for this reaction video! I have been asking waiting for you to do Parabol/Parabola! This is my all time fav Tool song(s) and I am so excited to see you enjoy it!! I have been wanting to have "We are eternal. All this pain is an illusion" tattoo for a long time. That will probably be my next. 🖤🔧
Been with Tool since ‘95. Seen ‘em 3 times and have opened the eyes of many a future Tool fan. I love seeing you hear/watch them for the first time as I can only imagine what it’s like to hear these masterpieces for the first time. Virgin ears! Through you, I can. Keep up the killer work.
You have no idea how happy your tool reactions make me. I cannot stress this enough, you would have your mind absolutely blown at a show. I highly recommend going. If you have to drive 8 hours like I did to see them, it's worth it.
Pink floyd was actually an inspiration to Tool. So you could say, the revolution of the 80s led to the mystical emergence of the Prog Metal rock genre in the 90s, the result? Tool.
Tool might be the best band ever! Regardless of... Parabol/Parabola is definitely (in my opinion) the best song ever written!!! Musically, lyrically, it's a hands down masterpiece followed closely by Aenima!
thats a pretty solid top 3 bro. ive listened to tool since i was 14, im 31 now...never use to get into the lyrics or appreciated the details till i was like mid 20s...i was blown away by wings for marie pt1 and 10,000 days...it has so much personal meaning to maynard, the lead singer...he was an atheist and his mom was super religious. he couldnt wrap his head around how she was so faithful through cancer, stroke, and being in a wheelchair. she said up until the very end that this was gods plan. sad. have to do those two songs together, and get into the lyrics. its so fuckin deep bro, when i understood the lyrics, it would make me tear up, nothing has done that to me. just going to throw this link out there to a live performance for anyone who is curious how he sounds live. he is on another level. god level. ruclips.net/video/LGbel0NZpXo/видео.html ....it is something everyone should witness
Same I was about 13 when I first picked up a tool album. Slightly confused but intrigued. So drawn into Maynards voice. Listened to them here and there but never fully appreciated it. Then hit a really rough time in life and decided to just close everyone off and focus on myself. It was just me, Tool and a paint brush. It wasnt until then when I realized that they are my absolute most favorite band.
I seriously can’t say enough how much I loooove that you have taken a liking to Tool-and a genuine liking, for that. And the fact that you reacted to “Parabol/Parabola”....? Absolutely amazing. This combination is my absolute favorite from them, hands down. Keep ‘em coming, please!
I was one that needed to be reminded by another soul that you need to be aware of your negative thoughts, for sure brother. Thanks for that, much love! It brought tears of recognition and joy to my eyes, kinda like this music does!
The Patient is very underrated, such a great song, it really hits home for me, even if his meaning is completely different for it, his pain and weariness is palpable
Underrated song...I think I've only heard him sing it once live, right after Lateralus came out but I'd have to look up the setlist, not even sure if he did it then.
Thank you for this video. You let it play and showed the real interest in the music rather than cutting it off constantly like some other reaction vids. A+ video. Thank you for just experiencing it instead of blowing it off for opinions. You rock dude.
I don't know who you are brother, I happened upon your video by chance and I have to say... Your reactions brought me right to joy. I've been a fan of this band for 17 years and watching you listen got me feeling like the first time i heard this jam. Tool has no doubt changed my life but maybe not how you'd think. Tool has taught me how to dig a little deeper. Search for higher meaning. And how to search my soul for answers i never knew I had questions for. Ride the spiral to the end brother. peace, love, and namaste.
I have "All this pain is am illusion" tattoed down my right arm. This song touched the deepest and darkest corners of my soul the first time I ever heard it. It still sends chills over my entire body every time.
Flashback Brotha, i had the same exact feelings about tool that you have. In my 51yrs on this earth, ive listened to every kind of music from every era imaginable and with out a doubt Tool is at the top. Best part is that the music gets better the more you listen to it. If you ever find a artist that you think is better then Tool, please please let us know. But i seriously doubt that day will ever come. Love your takes on music and how you dissect each car the song truly listen to it for what it is. Thank you it's refreshing
So happy you reacted to this bro!! 😄 I get a feeling from this song that I don’t get from other songs. Tool are alien, they’re not human, they’re on a completely different level than anything else
“Keep your thoughts positive.” I needed to hear that, man. Some days your thoughts are all the company you have. Thanks for manifesting a better outlook five years in the future.
Law of Attraction brother 🙏

HAHAHAHA! YES!
Joshua Smith fax I can’t choose one or the other

Let’s be honest now. We all knew exactly where that HOLD ON BRUHHHHH was gonna hit for this song. You never disappoint Preston
Haven't got there yet but guessing exactly when parabola drops in
Lol.been suggesting this one for a while now.You are exactly right. He really has the most genuine reactions. Especially when it comes to Tool.
Looking for this comment, not disappointed
Lol for real
Never gets old
Tool is beyond music , it's an experience , raw emotion through the speakers
Yes!!
It's literally the human experience, people that hate Tool are afraid of their mortality and don't like their third eye even cracked as it would acknowledge that their lives are finite and fleeting.
Yes🖖
Best thing about Tool is every song hits you different through your life. It makes you feel what you need to feel.
Your reactions to Tool are the best. It really does let me relive how I felt when I first discovered them.
That's what I said in my comment! It's awesome to be able to relive the first time hearing tool vicariously thru Preston.
Exactly as I feel. Takes me back to my youth. The feelings never ever ever change. I feel so lucky to have grown up with them as my own soundtrack.
@Christopher Murillo You took the words right out of my mouth!
Same here... I discovered Tool around high school and it completely changed my concept of reality.
There are actually quite a few Tool songs that I avoid listening to because I want to cherish that virgin moment.
i love seeing someone have that ‘first time’ with a tool song. vicariously.
(I understood that reference Captain America meme)
I see wut u did there

Rosetta stoned is one of my favorite Tool tracks. The drums are insane as always but Maynard’s vocal delivery is what really does it for me.
Let's get him into Meshuggah next, Tools heavier cousin.

"We are eternal, all this pain is an illusion." Lyrically one of my favorite Tool songs
You want a Tool collaboration check out Deftones - Passenger. It has Maynard from Tool singing on that track. It’s epic!
Manuel Mesa hell yes!
So much yes!
Best reactor on RUclips.
I love that you don't criticize any song and give us the best lines out of a song.
React to life goes on - 2pac
Great song.
Stopped a different video just for this one
Me too lol
Guilty as well. I was like "fuck yea, he finally did Parabol" lol
I just said yes so loudly after seeing the notification for this.
Once Maynards soul touches yours. You never lose that light, it's a great thing.. modifies you in the best of ways.
TOOL is absolutely amazing. This song gives me full body chills every. Single. Time.
Seen tool in 2000 yeah it’s something I won’t forget amazing band
Travis Hearherly saw them last year in Rochester NY with my 15 year old son. It is something neither of us will ever forget.
Best live show there is. Seen them 3 times and they never disappoint. Love when they play Stinkfist live, right before “I’ll keep digging” they always have a different jam leading up to it and it’s always dope.
Also their guitarist Adam Jones coordinates their light shows. Amazing visuals. I wish I could’ve seen Floyd back in their heyday but these guys are the next best thing as far as a concert stage performance goes.
That is awesome! And that was an off-album tour. We caught them that year in Daytona. I always enjoy their stripped down shows like that! Just 2 hours of pure awesomeness!
Saw Tool right after 9/11 in NYC. I knew about Tool, but my friend got tickets and pretty much convinced me to see them live. My musical life hasn't been the same since. A living life experience. I thank the Gods I saw them on the Laterlus tour, my favorite album so far. Tool are THEE band of the 90's/00's. Word!!! Preston, just to change it up...try the band YES and listen to 'Heart of the Sunrise'. YES changed my young life back in the day. Give them a go!
You'd really like The Grudge too, from the same album. In fact, all of Lateralus is a masterpiece; my favorite TooL album.
mine as well , it is so consolidated
Same. One of the greatest musical masterpieces of all time.
I have no doubt Lateralus will go down and be spoken of like a holy Grail of modern prog metal rock, 10,000 days is unbelievable too, i feel underrated
@@avigayegos1496 definitely taken as a whole, Lateralus is pure perfection and genius,. In my opinion Tool's Opus
Having a young fella like yourself loving my music makes me feel sooooo old but having said that, welcome.
"TOOL - THIRD EYE"
He will die if he listens to it
Has he heard it yet?
I havent heard it yet myself
hold on bruh…
HOLD ON BRUUUUUUUUUUUH
Lol
Love it
DON DEMARCO
Lol, I was waiting for that right at the transition
Tool - THIRD EYE WILL BLOW YOU AWAY ! wanna see your reaction
I'm not sure he can handle third eye, lol jk but that song is on a whole other level.
Yep
Definitely another level. Listening to Third Eye puts me in a trance.
@@1Corinthians15.1-4 same. one doesn't listen to Third Eye, They Experience it.
In concert, even more so!
I love Tool, best band ever!!!
Everyone of their songs has a meaning and quintessentially done masterfully. I am in awe everytime I listen to one of their tracks. Can't wait to hear their new album 😁😁😁
Touché
Tool is such an amazing experience that everyone should have . Mayanrd’s voice gives me the chills and just feels comforting . And it doesn’t matter how many times I listen to them , I continuously get goosebumps every time. Their music is so phenomenal and empowering . They are literally my favorite band and EVERY song is just amazing . I’m happy that you’re enjoying this amazing band . I went to one of their concerts back in November and I was speechless the whole time . They have all these psychedelic visuals and shit , such an experience. You should check out his other band A Perfect Circle 👌🏻👌🏻
Took the words right out of my mouth haha
Yeees. This is my favorite TOOL song. So glad you got to experience it.
Nine inch nails bro. Trent Reznor is a genius. I'm telling you.
Be definately needs to do Nine Inch Nails soon!!
Yeah it has to be the right song for an introduction. Please do not suggest closer. Maybe something I can never have or terrible lie
@@runyunhyde4373 between those two songs I'd pick terrible lie, one of my favorites. Something I can never have is really good too but he may think it's too depressing lol. I'd like to hear Kinda I want to or Sin
Yes!! The day the world went away, The Fragile, 》A WARM PLACE《, Something I can never have.
@@amberlydavis5643 Idt a warm place would be a good First song for him to hear just the fact it's an Instramental
I felt that HOLD ON BRAH! coming like an earthquake \m/ that was awesome, love your reactions, keep'em coming!
How you react to Tool warms my heart
It reminds me of how I felt the first time. Thank you for that. You are awesome.
TIME FOR THIRD EYE 👁
👁
Tool's Stairway to Heaven.
YES!
Most definitely. Then Rosetta Stoned. Once you pry open your third eye you’ll be able to fully appreciate the epic trip that is Rosetta stoned. Just don’t forget your pen.
Definitely do Third Eye with lyrics. Fucking fantastic song. You know he's gonna love it lol
damn bro I felt like that message at 5:01 was for me, Ive been tryna stay focused on the law of attraction that was trippy much love
Ditto.. Much love preston
Love these reactions man. Reminds me of when I first discovered the masterpiece that we know as Tool's music. You get it.
Bruh you had me watching your videos for two hours, awesome shit stay 👏
Thanx for making Monday worth living
How about doing a double feature on the song "No Quarter" - First the Led Zeppelin version (original) and then the Tool version. Both OP tracks. Cheers
Please this!!!
Absolutely! Cmon bruh! Life changing
So this.
Needs to be done, really puts into perspective how good and innovative Tool really are, taking a 7 minute Led Zeppelin song and turning it into an 11 minute masterpiece
@@benbhogal4551 LZ is the shit, but when Tool covers a band's song, it becomes Tool's song, and it's better.
Dude!!! About time you reviewed this song! I've been vocal about it since I saw your first couple of Tool reviews. This song is straight up fire🔥 I crank it on at the gym and that's it.
Dude you gas me up to listen to music I've loved for like 20 years, you rock.
Tool - H
I've been begging for this one. Cant wait for him to do it
Great song..... MJK wrote H about the birth of his son.
Our prayers were answered today
Yay!!! Preston!!! So glad you finally reacted to this song. Yes, you were awestruck!! I love watching your reactions. Tool does create masterpieces. Their songs are experiences! So glad you're able to appreciate their artistry. ❤️
Dude I can’t even tell you what this song is like live, with the crowd and arms up,🤘in the air, swaying and singing with everything you’ve got. Damn it feel amazing to be alive in that moment
Man, I was the guy who needed to hear that. Appreciate it man!
So excited for this reaction video! I have been asking waiting for you to do Parabol/Parabola! This is my all time fav Tool song(s) and I am so excited to see you enjoy it!! I have been wanting to have "We are eternal. All this pain is an illusion" tattoo for a long time. That will probably be my next. 🖤🔧
TOOL is the best band ever! Glad to see another member of the club.
TOOL - LOST KEYS/ROSETTA STONED (w/ lyrics)
Been with Tool since ‘95. Seen ‘em 3 times and have opened the eyes of many a future Tool fan. I love seeing you hear/watch them for the first time as I can only imagine what it’s like to hear these masterpieces for the first time. Virgin ears! Through you, I can. Keep up the killer work.
I have watched your video of this over 30 times... you saved my life 4 years ago and I appreciate you.
The Patient next :)
Nate Fontana I would love to see him react to that! Good suggestion!!!
Yessssssss
The patient is a little hard to digest when you first hear or, though. At least, it was for me. Very solid song anyway.
You have no idea how happy your tool reactions make me. I cannot stress this enough, you would have your mind absolutely blown at a show. I highly recommend going. If you have to drive 8 hours like I did to see them, it's worth it.
Pink floyd was actually an inspiration to Tool. So you could say, the revolution of the 80s led to the mystical emergence of the Prog Metal rock genre in the 90s, the result?
Tool.
70s*
Tool seem more like Led than any other, adam jones himself admitted that they are fans of led zeppelin and ac/dc
Tool might be the best band ever! Regardless of... Parabol/Parabola is definitely (in my opinion) the best song ever written!!! Musically, lyrically, it's a hands down masterpiece followed closely by Aenima!
thats a pretty solid top 3 bro. ive listened to tool since i was 14, im 31 now...never use to get into the lyrics or appreciated the details till i was like mid 20s...i was blown away by wings for marie pt1 and 10,000 days...it has so much personal meaning to maynard, the lead singer...he was an atheist and his mom was super religious. he couldnt wrap his head around how she was so faithful through cancer, stroke, and being in a wheelchair. she said up until the very end that this was gods plan. sad. have to do those two songs together, and get into the lyrics. its so fuckin deep bro, when i understood the lyrics, it would make me tear up, nothing has done that to me. just going to throw this link out there to a live performance for anyone who is curious how he sounds live. he is on another level. god level. ruclips.net/video/LGbel0NZpXo/видео.html ....it is something everyone should witness
I agree wings for Marie PT 2 is an amazing song
Same bro. There's no other piece of art out there that has managed to make me cry.
Same I was about 13 when I first picked up a tool album. Slightly confused but intrigued. So drawn into Maynards voice. Listened to them here and there but never fully appreciated it. Then hit a really rough time in life and decided to just close everyone off and focus on myself. It was just me, Tool and a paint brush. It wasnt until then when I realized that they are my absolute most favorite band.
I just discovered your channel tonight and watching you fall in love with Tool , is like reliving my own experience . My fave band.
I seriously can’t say enough how much I loooove that you have taken a liking to Tool-and a genuine liking, for that. And the fact that you reacted to “Parabol/Parabola”....? Absolutely amazing. This combination is my absolute favorite from them, hands down.
Keep ‘em coming, please!
I been waiting on this thanks for watching my request its crazy 💎💎
I knew you would like this one man haha this is awesome
By far, my favorite reactor… keep this up… TOOL is my favorite band, and watching you become a fan has been fantastic.
I was one that needed to be reminded by another soul that you need to be aware of your negative thoughts, for sure brother. Thanks for that, much love! It brought tears of recognition and joy to my eyes, kinda like this music does!
You ever liked a video before you watched it
Can you pls react to Tool- The patient?
Beautiful song. First Tool song I learned to play on guitar lol
The Patient is very underrated, such a great song, it really hits home for me, even if his meaning is completely different for it, his pain and weariness is palpable
Song gives me constant chills up my spine and arms... and legs. 🤘🖤
You know, 5 years later, we don't see him too much anymore. I hope he's following his dream and promoting some kick-ass band
The patient tool the patient tool the patient tool the patient tool the patient
Underrated song...I think I've only heard him sing it once live, right after Lateralus came out but I'd have to look up the setlist, not even sure if he did it then.
Love your channel .
A Perfect Circle : The Noose or Orestes .
Orestes definitely.
Thank you for this video. You let it play and showed the real interest in the music rather than cutting it off constantly like some other reaction vids. A+ video. Thank you for just experiencing it instead of blowing it off for opinions. You rock dude.
I don't know who you are brother, I happened upon your video by chance and I have to say... Your reactions brought me right to joy. I've been a fan of this band for 17 years and watching you listen got me feeling like the first time i heard this jam. Tool has no doubt changed my life but maybe not how you'd think. Tool has taught me how to dig a little deeper. Search for higher meaning. And how to search my soul for answers i never knew I had questions for. Ride the spiral to the end brother. peace, love, and namaste.
This is solid gold Tool brohan.
The Grudge please
Yes...
I have "All this pain is am illusion" tattoed down my right arm. This song touched the deepest and darkest corners of my soul the first time I ever heard it. It still sends chills over my entire body every time.
Flashback Brotha, i had the same exact feelings about tool that you have. In my 51yrs on this earth, ive listened to every kind of music from every era imaginable and with out a doubt Tool is at the top. Best part is that the music gets better the more you listen to it. If you ever find a artist that you think is better then Tool, please please let us know. But i seriously doubt that day will ever come. Love your takes on music and how you dissect each car the song truly listen to it for what it is. Thank you it's refreshing
37 thumbs down? Disconnected from their own soul. Pitty!
I love you bro
So happy you reacted to this bro!! 😄 I get a feeling from this song that I don’t get from other songs. Tool are alien, they’re not human, they’re on a completely different level than anything else
Good God Preston, you make me smile with every Tool reaction!!! 👍👍👍 you fucking get it!
YESSSS FINALLY!!!!!!
Never have I clicked something so fast! I love your channel man! Keep it up with TOOL but check out some Eagles!!
think i'm in luv....your reaction got me so hyped!!! feel u man...tell me isnt a an powerful song...
I started with one of his video at midnight. Its now 4 am. Goddamnit! I need sleep haha. Quit listening to such great music!
“Keep your thoughts positive.”
I needed to hear that, man. Some days your thoughts are all the company you have. Thanks for manifesting a better outlook five years in the future.
