      Tool does the thing I love the most about music. The things from the early days of rock, like Led Zeppelin or Jimmy Hendrix. Music the sounds simple untill you try to play it yourself. Most music to me is the otherway around, where is sound difficult, but is acually easy to do. Making something difficult sound easy means that you need to have a great set of skills and talent. Having said this I would still like to hear what he has to say about Pneuma. Careys' drums are insane in that song!!

  • @micahl73
    @micahl73 9 месяцев назад +97

    I like that Judson picked up on the "As below, so above" line as a reference to the esoteric (in particular, Hermeticism). Supposedly, hermetics believed that a way to understand the heavenly was through understanding the mundane, and the phrase, "As above, so below" summarizes that belief (I love how Maynard flips the quote). These references can be found throughout Tool and its music; one example is The Grudge's "transmutate these leaden grudges into gold" line, which seems to reference alchemy, a fundamental aspect of hermeticism. Also note that Maynard named his winery Caduceus Cellars, an obvious nod to Hermes' staff.

    Man, I am a Tool fan, and I love this kind of reaction, because it comes from a guy who really knows about music, and is not focused on satisfy the Tool fans saying that the song is the best song ever. I think that all those guys who make reactions of Tool songs are mostly fakes, because it takes several times to really understand and assimilate a Tool song. When I heard Lateralus song for the first time I didn't like it, and it took me several times listening to the song for me to like it, and discover a little detail in the song every time, and now is my favourite song ever. Great reaction! greetings from Argentina!

      Yup, 90% of Tool songs were growers, not show-ers to me. All these people that, especially are into hip hop, start listening to Tool for their reaction channels and immediately are like "omg 46 &2 is the best thing ever!" No, maybe 1/1000 people think that way on the first listen, but not 10/10 mumble rap listeners. There seem to be very few authentic reactions, not just to Tool, but to anything. The business model is "suck your audience's d*** and be entertaining."

    One of the apects in which I think many people gloss over is just how patient this band is as a collective. In each song they really take their time. Maynard isnt in a hurry to lay vocals down early into the track and each instrument gets an opportunity to have its moment shine alone while also getting to fold into the collective sound.

    Very interesting reaction guys. Lateralus is one of the best rock songs ever written imho. I'm surprised and not surprised at the same time that Judson apparently knows some things about esoteric/occult/freemasonic beliefs and practices. (fun fact: Danny Carey's (the drummer) father is/was a freemason (not 33rd degree though as far as I know).
    About Tool's music being "simple": They love to leave space in their songs for certain passages, repeating certain riffs (or just single notes) and patterns over and over, much longer than most other bands would do (especially modern bands). That's another reason why some songs may appear "simple" at times even if they aren't simple at all.
    Keep up the good work guys, you have a unique and interesting thing going on with this channel.

    Tools music isn’t usually very complex from a compositional point of view.
    Some of the stuff is quite difficult to perform though, especially the drums/percussion and especially if you have been schooled into rock music.
    But regardless of being complex or not they have managed to create something quite unique, a world of their own, that speaks to a lot of people. That is probably the hardest thing you can do in music.

    Complexity exists everywhere. It is very easy to make things complicated.
    However, simplicity - or taking things that are naturally complex and simplifying them - is generally a very difficult thing to do.
    If TooL's music is simple in appearance, it is a testament to their skill as musicians in hiding the complexity of what they do.
    Judson would absolutely be someone who appreciates and understands this more than most.

    Probably the most effortless uptake of the concepts and themes of this song I've ever seen from a reaction. A lot of people treat this song like musical calculus, I assume because for the average music listener these days, it is.

    • @JBrooksNYS
      @JBrooksNYS 8 месяцев назад +2

      No it doesnt.... just one part of the song is a number that happens to appear in the sequence. Every other part of the song is not. And it was an accident that they noticed afterwards.... Many songs they already have are fibonacci numbers. They have a lot of songs in 5, which is also a number in the sequence. The theme song to Mission Impossible is a fibonacci number. It is meaningless

    Time signatures: top number is how many beats per measure. Bottom number is what note equals one beat. 6/8 Time signature means every measure has 6 beats in it, and, an eighth note equals one beats. So, each measure consists of 6 eighth notes, 12 sixteenth notes, or 3 quarter notes, etc.

    Tool is a band that can be enjoyed purely by its musical esthetics, they are the pre djent groove masters. But it can also be enjoyed through the biting human debate that the lyrics bring. If you get to the level where you get both Tools is a truly great musical expression. Immense talent on all levels. But they are also so infuriatingly eccentric you might drop the whole thing and forget all about them. But they need your time to sink in, its not accessible stuff.

    Gotta say, you should really do "Schism." The bizarre thing about that song is that even though it's a "hit," it's also maybe the most complex song in their catalog.

    • @EricAurumSkagg

    Love the reaction and your chemistry together. I can't help but wonder what your history together is. You seem so different, but have great click, if you know what i mean. Anyway, Judson seems to have a unique ear for music, i didn't catch the Can't stop-likeness at the start of that 1st solo-type part, but i definitely hear it now. (And yes, I'm aware that Can't stop came out later than Lataralus)
    Always nice to hear a truly different take on music.

    What’s great about this song is Tool recognizing exactly who Tool fans are. Maynard explained the lyrics by saying it’s essentially about getting too caught up in the intricacies with the music. Tool fans have a reputation of “spiraling out” on the lyrics and summoning all sorts of theories and ideas; almost akin to someone who just had their first acid trip explaining to you what it’s like. The Fibonacci Sequence is so cleverly and comedically placed within the song to just solidify how in depth Tool fans will go in their music (guilty myself). Him showing how simplistic the actual music is, is an almost cosmic example of the premise of the song. Not at all saying this can’t be interpreted as anything else or wasn’t made with any greater meaning but just one of the many little details in Tools choreography. Great video, keep em coming ✌️

    You can write "simple" things but make them complicated. You can have somgs where the drumer is just doing a simple 4/4 but then the guitar in 5/4 with a bass line in 7/4. Then once you hit beat 28 start a new part of the song with guitarist dropping down to a 3/4 on the last measure. Its easy making simple riffs but melding them in unconventional ways is the art form here. Turning math into something soul renching and beautiful.

    Well dang it, that was enjoyable. (I just found you tonight.) I liked hearing that he likes Tool more and more; that seems to be how it goes (and if you're not ready for it, then it just kind of passes by without the effect it could have). I also enjoyed the legit, trained-ear critique that wasn't just fawning over them (speaking as someone who might be on the fawning side and also has no musical talent, heh).
    I thought it was funny when he heard a tinge of the Chili Peppers...every once in a while I swear I can pull out a note or two throwing me back to Queensryche; it might be just one song and I can't tell you which one, but I know it when I hear it.
    Part of this conversation made me wonder if Judson knows yet of Alex Grey?

  • @KitWriter
    @KitWriter 7 месяцев назад +2

    An excellent choice, musically!
    The entire song is based around the fibonacci sequence, where the previous two number added together make the next number in the sequence. An example is 2+3=5 then 3+5=8, 5+8=13 etc.
    The intro is 1:12 long, the first 3 numbers of the sequence.
    The lyrical syllables also follow this pattern:
    Black (1) then (1) white are (2) all I see (3) in my infancy (5) red and yellow then came to be (8) reaching out to me, let's me see (13).
    The entire song is like this, all while telling the listener not to over think or over analyze...
    It’s wonderful like that, lol.
