In 1996 I asked for some gardening tools for my birthday. My then 13 year old daughter bought me Aenima, along with a few assorted actual gardening tools which have long rusted away. We've gone to 5 of their concerts together. I have every album and this year for my 68th birthday she got me Fear Inoculum. She's a good kid.
So I have enjoyed this album. But never really gave it the love it really deserves. I'm one of the few Tool fans that put 10,000 days at the top of their discography. I recently have been hitting maybe what some would consider a mid life crisis. I'm in my mid thirties. Right before the Pandemic hit my mother started having medical complications. From October 2019 to April 2020. I watched her lose her mind because of complications with seizers. To the point she eventually started slipping in and out of a coma and took her last breath. In this same time line, I had met a wonderful girl who I felt came to me and I to her for a purpose. She was dealing with some life struggles at that time as well. We both just fit each other's needs at the right place and time. We fell in love very quickly and I decided I wanted to have a child with her. And we did just that within about 2 months of meeting each other. The last thing I ever said to my mother was that I loved her deeply and I told her her grandsons name. Kelly Eaton Smith. She wasn't awake. But she was conscious. In a medically induced coma because her seizures had become too erratic. There were restrictions on visitation because of the pandemic and they were hurrying me out for the night. I had ahold of her hands. And she barely had any strength but I could feel her trying to grip my hands as they were telling me to leave. She didn't want to let go. She passed the next day. My brother had decided to take her off of the machines and let her pass. As she was often in pain. And when she was awake, half the time she didn't even know who she was or where she was. She was a smart and amazing woman. And we both felt that she would never want to continue on like this. I still don't know if we made the right decision. But it didn't look like things were going to get better. So we did what we thought she would want. It was like I had been given everything I've ever wanted (a woman and our son growing in her belly) all while watching everything I've ever had being taken from me (my wonderful and loving mother) at the same time. It fucked my head up very badly. Paired with the pandemic bullshit, I've been hopping from job to job ever since. It's like my give a shit button has just overloaded and stopped working. I gained almost 100 pounds. And though I'm not always a sack of shit, there has been many days where I just lay still and silent hoping I just deteriorate into nothing. My child's mother finally has left me. I'm currently still unemployed (but have a few interviews lined up for the rest of the week. Wish me luck if you feel inclined to do so.) AND on top of all that. I had slowly descended back into a drug habit of using MA. It was just dabbling here and there after my mom died. And remained quite like that for the rest of mine and my girlfriend's relationship. After she broke up with me though it started escalating. Still not dangerously. But concerning enough. My brother and the other woman who lives in our house were starting to notice my behavior. My son who is two and a half now, I began to become very short with him and strict to the point of not physical abuse. But definitely mentally harming him. Then one weekend in January. I was using while everyone was out in a trip. Just me and my son at home. We were running low on groceries and I was feeding him something. He didn't seem to want it and eventually threw it on the floor. Which made me very angry and I yelled and all this that and the other. I sent him to bed and he cried for his mom that night till he fell asleep. All this plus some things I had been pondering at the time, put me into a spell of mania. I had been researching things and reading material concerning something specific I was looking for. (It's much deeper. But this is already too long of a comment. But it had to do with my grandpa's military service. He was a pilot, physics major, and computer programmer. He had a lot to do with the early long range weapons and missile programs in the 40's 50's and 60's He was a very informative man. And I just wished I had paid attention to him when I was growing up. But by the time I knew him he had become an old angry alcoholic who repeated himself too much and too loudly.) I started breaking down words to their root meanings and translations. I literally read thousands of pages of just any and everything. Some of it I'm not even sure was real. Because I can't seem to find a lot of the material I had seen while being like this. I started getting into the realm of quantum physics. My grandfather would babble about this stuff and it made no sense to me. It was interesting but it's way beyond my intelligence level. I began to develop this theory that there are some bands and other art forms that are purposely sending cryptic messages from government or other higher powers to people leaking certain bits concerning certain very important bits of information... Like a way of slowly introducing the world into a conscious change or shift of some sort. Good or bad I couldn't tell. Anyways... It all became too much for me. And I became scared. I had been awake for three days and thought that I had over stimulated my brain and would be stuck like this forever. Like my thoughts and my self were two different things. And my thoughts were pestering me with fear of the unknown. I know this all sounds so dumb and crazy. But I just happened to turn this album on while I was laying in bed. Trying to get everything to stop. From that opening chime noise or whatever it is on this track, I was immediately put in what felt like a trance of tranquility. Listening to the sounds of Danny, Justin and Adam, and Maynard's voice soothed my mind. And what I took from this album is that in times of desperation and need, you can only choose from two paths. Fear or love. The unknown will always be present. But you have to keep discovering the information the universe delivers to you. And the way you process it will determine the way you use said information. So take it slow and don't feel so afraid. Even when we feel alone there's always a smile or something that can be found from people or just nature in general that surrounds us. Love will prevail if you allow it to. This manic spell all happened back in January 2023. Its now five months later in Late June. Since then I dropped connection with my dealer. I don't use any drugs. Hell I don't even drink coffee anymore. Sugar is probably my only vice still left lol. I've been exercising at least 5 days a week. And have lost near 40 lbs.down from 290 to 240 (still have a long ways to go. I'd like to get back to 190.) I been searching for employment (this is still my down fall. But I'm working on it I think none of the positions I'm.interviewing for will fit perfectly with me being a single/part time father and other variations of my lifestyle). I've been rediscovering my passion for listening and creating music. Currently making goals of reinvesting in equipment to work on an album I'm conceiving. I have no intentions with it other than I just enjoy making music and writing. (As this comment would imply, I have a lot to say. Though I understand if no one wants to listen to the thoughts of an odd individual. I am aware that, like the rest of my race, I'm not quite sane in the night. But I'm sure I may find a spirit or two who may relate.) And most importantly, I am trying my best to stop pushing my anger onto my son. Instead of thinking of discipline first, I am trying my hardest to understand his behavior and make decisions based on how he feels first then judge accordingly as to how I feel and how I can improve the situation, be it through guidance or discipline, I'm using love as the main tool to nurture and raise him. I can say that since all that happened. I've only raised my voice at him maybe a handful of times. And our connection, even though he's only two, is quite amazing. I love that he trusts me and knows how to communicate his feelings to me at such a young age. His mother and I are doing well with each other. I doubt we'll ever get back together. But we are coparenting in a very halealthy way. No court or anything involved. And I'm just praying that I can keep this up and get back to a place I'm proud to be. So after saying all that. I just want to thank this band for this album. Cause I believe that could have gone much worse very quickly had I not had some sort of way to diffuse what my mind was slowly doing to my reality. Though I realize my interpretation of the album isn't what the band was trying to convey. I also think they purposely make things abstract so that people can find their own meanings in their art by way of relation. And for that reason the fact that they even chose the name "Tool" has such a beautiful meaning... And just uh.. yea... Thank you.. I pray happiness and prosperity reaches us all at even our deepest and darkest moments. ❤️
@@Query_Rejected I've been writing a lot. If I'm not at my computer, I'll leave write in the FB messenger app to myself. I found out that there is a character limit in messenger lol...
Says who? These guys are too creative to call it quits. We will all wait for anything new as we have for what dropped today. Tool is too vital to my own existence to believe that this will be it (Aug.30).
Honestly, I wouldn't be upset if this was really their last album. I mean, by now it looks like this is going to be another great album by them, and if that turns out to be true on August 30 then they will have no bad albums in their discography. Just imagine if they release a sixth album and it sucks, it would be a stain on their sacred reputation.
I lost my mom back in 06, Tool and the Lateralus Album in particular are the biggest things that got me through those VERY tough times! I'm sure we will see our loved ones again someday,always stay positive and embrace love and happiness and celebrate life at every possible opportunity because that's what our mom's wanted for us! 🙂 *Embrace this moment,REMEMBER we are eternal all this pain is an illusion!* 🤘🤘
Ah fellow forgettor! We are truly blessed to suffer/enjoy this condition. Imagine what will happen with the new album. So many songs that we'd forget and listen to again for the first time.
1,000%!! Primus concerts (and SOAD and Rage) were very similar. Not to each other, but in the respect of being something which was not replicable, by any stretch of the imagination, by any other band or place. I think I saw Primus 12 times in my hay day. 23 times, perfect circle two or three times. System of down a handful of times and Rage, only once. One of the only concerts I ever went to sober, intentionally! Just didn’t feel right to be inebriated when their music is so much about being awake and aware
It's just a new Tool song. People hype this stuff up to ridiculous levels that it's almost inevitable that many are underwhelmed when it actually happens. I think it's a great track, I might prefer Descending a little more and I'm looking forward to the studio version, it'll blow the live version out of the water I reckon.
Took my grandson to see Tool, didn't want to go, said he didn't want to go see some hippie band from the 70's. Looked over during Sober, he had tears running down his face. Now he has tools album covers tattooed all over his body. Mission accomplished.
Our son is 5 and has gained an increase in amusement towards our musical taste lately. We've recently been talking about taking him to his first concert. We were mainly concerned with the loudness. But now that he tells us to turn it up while we're driving we've determined that the noise shouldn't be a big issue (he will be using earbuds when the time comes though). I'd love for his first live music experience to be with Tool but I feel like it might be too much and might want to start with something different.
Awesome story!!! My daughter is 15 plays guitar and listens to all of my music lol. Wr saw Tool in November in Philly. 2nd song she says dad... they sound better than the who , Tesla ect. This is the best concert ever . I TEARED UP LOL. now we are seeing Tool again next week at Madison square for her 🎂 Tool makes life's in and outs that much better!! BEST concert I've seen in my life!!!! I'm close to 300 concerts
It's like catching up with a mate you haven't seen in years. Familiar and comfortable. Expressing in conversation the wisdom that only time can produce.
I love that familiar feeling paired with the last leg of the song where it seems to stretch its legs a bit and show us that it's not just more of the same except in quality. I would never want or expect Tool to make any extreme changes to their sound, but I am excited each time an album comes and shows us their growth in the interim between albums was worth the wait.
It's a time machine. At Download in my 2006 Tool t shirt from the last download tool were at and it was a time machine. So beautiful. I just can't. Best set I've ever seen.
@@huntree4205 your also in for exposing yourself as a guy with no idea of music. Your opinion is yours man, but Opinions can still be based on Bullshit you know.
When I am in pain, when I am angered and when I feel hatred due to injustice, I listen to Tool or any band where Maynard James Keenan is the vocalist. Then I feel fine because I feel his anger and hatred in his songs. No sugarcoating. Perfect!
Absoluteley...i am so fed up with politics and cowardness in my country that iam now sitting here and got tears of anger running in my face...this Band opens an door to your inner strenght..pure anger release..
This comment hit me hard. I had a friend who was as big of a Tool fan as any I have known. He passed away last August. An amazing guy, but at least he got to listen to Eat the Elephant.
So yeah I grew up in the 3000bc, Egypt times and now I'm a mummy awakening in the 21st century.. and I love this band. My dad was a bricklayer in the Pyramids and my mom was a Cairo hooker.. Glad to be here guys.
I literally said that this morning. I have been fighting a nasty infection for like 4 weeks and I refuse to die before I hear this rest of this album. I've been at their musical doorstep since 1994 when I first say Prison Sex's music video.

High-Five! First saw Tool open for the Rollins Band at the Fairfax High School gymnasium right before the release of Opiate. Second best pit of my life, the first being Ministry.
@@meinking22 That's an impressive show! Seriously - that's truly OGT shit. And now I'll blow your mind. I saw TOOL at the first Lollapalooza in Waterloo Village, New Jersey. I had no idea who they were at the time. We didn't go into the show yet, but were sitting on a hill overlooking the stage area drinking JD. There was this band playing that wasn't on the official line-up, but they were amazing. I was like who the fuck are these guys?....this shit is GREAT! That band was TOOL. And guess what? They were warming up for the first official band actually in the line-up...that band was Rollins Band
I'm on my 8th listen since 530am. On repeat. I agree, I'm blown away, it gets better every listen too. HEADPHONES are a must if you want to really hear it.
TOOL has taken the #1 spot on the Billboard charts with Fear Inoculum WITHOUT using the concert-ticket album price/redemption inclusion scheme that EVERY POPULAR ARTIST uses. Now that's hardcore.
@@HmlsDarkOpsThat's just an absurdly ignorant thing to say. Billboards are populated with instant/single-use manufactured pop stars and it's been that way for decades now. The reason Tool is up there is first and foremost because of the hype, the fanbase, while of course they're incredibly talented. But to say that people- as a whole-. recognize real talent? Talk about accidental sarcasm :)
@@HmlsDarkOps Agreed about 'real talent.' The god of music put the gift of instruments, voice, sound, talent and lyrics into the hands of mortal men......and these men knew what to do with them. I will see them in Brooklyn....see you there!
Lol Tool just jumps into the electronic age and RUclips game 5 days ago, already 130k subs. Just goes to show how many people have been waiting for this.
The only problem is when Maynard stands up back with his back to the audience for the full concert. I saw him down in Portland Maine, and that's exactly what he did. Although I have seen him twice more at the amphitheater in Maine, and he was up front for those ones.
This song blows me away... Everytime. Wait a week, rinse repeat. Get blown away. Thanks tool. I met you once maynard. Your a germ freak and wouldnt shake my hand. But looked in my eyes and told me to keep listening. Here i am bro. And time after time you deliver. By the way your wines pretty good too haha.
Damn, right at 5:11 of 10:22, with a mirrored image picture as the background, with what looks like fractal spirals splitting in mitosis. This is bonkers!!
This song is so fascinating. It lures you in, like a familar chant. You get sucked in and before you realize it you are caught in a wonderful storm that keeps you breathless but oh so happy when it is done. I will never get tired of listening to it.
I can’t say I agree. I’m hoping this is the worst song on the new album. I do like it but it’s just not what I imagined. I keep listening I do like. I just don’t love it.
Ænema: A song about a man wishing death upon LA and, preferably, the world at large. Vicarious: A song about all of us being junkies for the death and doom around the world shown on TV. Right In Two: A song about humanity's refusal to get along. Fear Inoculum: A song that declares fear to be the most deadly virus of all, despite being so easily cured. Descending: A song about humanity's need to rise up out of their lethargy and come together to face the real issues of the world. Honestly, I struggle to think of a circumstance in which Tool _won't_ be relevant.
Yes... Total middle aged mom agreeing with you.... Damn that's a lot of laundry and Tool. Saw Maynard -in all blue- at lollapalooza a million years ago... it never gets old.
From my point of view, the lyrics of "Fear Inoculum" explore psychological themes of fear, resilience, and inner transformation. The imagery of exhaling contagion portrays a visceral release from toxic influences that have infiltrated the psyche. This act symbolizes a cathartic purge of fears and anxieties, a necessary step towards reclaiming mental clarity and emotional stability. The song's climax, with its exorcism of malady and deception, signifies a psychological breakthrough. It marks the triumph of self-awareness and agency over inner turmoil, leading to a transformative release from mental bondage. The journey from fear to clarity embodies the psychological process of confronting, integrating, and ultimately transcending adversity. In essence, "Fear Inoculum" offers a profound exploration of psychological resilience and spiritual fortitude. It portrays a journey of inner healing and growth, where confronting fear and purging toxicity lead to profound personal transformation and newfound psychological freedom. And, without any doubt, it is also an absolute masterpiece, both musically AND lyrically. (16/6/2024)
@@CommunityGuidelinez Couldn't agree more... This track sucks harder than an L.A. hooker looking for a vegan meal. I hope this is the best track. Fucking losers hyping up Tool, meanwhile it sounds exactly like their other tracks. I was hoping this was going to be terrible. Glad it was.

Either its not trending in my country or it wasn't trending for long. Just cause a lot of people clicked it and listened to it, doesn't make it a good song. Probably why it was dumped off trending fast.
MaskedHero I think the song is fine, there's a lot I like about it and a few things I don't like. It's just super exciting to see ol' Maynard and the boys back at it and it's cool to see a Tool song on YT's trending page after they been gone for like 15 years!!!
I have been listening to this whole album on repeat every single day for literally months now ever sin e i got these killer sounding ear buds i just cant get enough of this album i listen from the time i get in the van all day on the jobsite when i break for lunch i recharge them so that tbey are at 100% when its time to hit it again this has become my favorite all time album can not fucking wait till the next one comes out!
The only other positive comment section i've seen is any under a Band-Maid video. They are an all female hard rock band from Japan. Don't let the cute girls in maid outfits fool you, these ladies can shred. I've read nearly all the comments on their videos and i haven't found a bad one yet. Most of the comments are about how skilled they are and not about how hot they are, which is very refreshing. Check them out if you get bored. This isn't their best song but there's a bit of a TOOL vibe about 2:18 into the song. ruclips.net/video/N7BQCkUb4SI/видео.html
@Telios Abraxas i promise you, when u grow up you will loose all that negativity and anger towards your fellow man while trying to sound clever and sarcastic with your funny jokes. But u have to stop drinking that moonshine and get some deep sleep for like a year or so. Your reactions only reflect your thoughts about yourself and what u wish your life should have been like. Dont be so dissappointed, its a journey.
When I was 15 years old a friend of mine introduced me to T00L and I absolutely fell in love. There was nothing like it and hasnt been since. That friend went on to become a best friend, and he was such an anchor for me during some really hard times. He took his own life in 2008. I wish he could be here to experience this with the rest of us, but i know he is, in a different way. RIP Conrad. Miss you buddy.
@@garrethayden3197 Im so sorry for your lose. I wish i could say the pain will let up soon, but that would be a lie. Just remember when the grief hits you like a tidal wave to breath. Its the only way to get through it.
The reason it takes TOOL so long to do an album is because they are actually taking the time to write some of the most awesome music the world has ever heard.
Well if you listen to the forward observer, he says it's because the other band members of Tool make sure that the music that is played, is always exactly what they want, before he gets his hands on it. Personally I believe it.. This is ONLY musical act that crafts, creates and makes sure that it's at a Beethovian level before it hits the public.. Thanks Mr. Carey. Mr.Jones, Mr.Chancellor, and Mr. Turn down a commission at West point for all that you do, to show this generation and those of the past, what true music should be.. I am forever grateful and fortunate to be able to hear it.. The Angels of the musical choir in heaven sing your praises as well. Stay steadfast in what you do. We as the fans definitely appreciate it.
I want to welcome the new tool fans to this endless rabbit hole. I've been a fan for tool for the past 15 years I'm proud I survive for this long to witness a new tool song.
fruitypeebils Personally Lateralus flows better as an album imo, but 10,000 has such great tracks in the album I can’t ignore it. The Pot? Jambi? Too good.
I sympathise with all of you as you are all true to your everything and this is just a reminder our everything becomes the missing pieces that just fell in place.
And when you pause it, it stands in the middle of the artwork which is a mirror image, sort of... I suppose someone should ''mirror reverse'' second half of the song and do some overlapping with the first half... fam knows the drill, we've done it with the Wings+Viginti tres+10.000days
Just saw them For the first time live couple nights ago, they started with this, my jaw was on the floor. I’ve legit never been so in awe at a concert before. Such a perfect opening song and was just crazy how much sound they put out on 3 instruments and a singer
Just saw them for the first time live last night and I agree! They are great in the studio, but they seriously put on the best show I've ever been to. It was unreal.
Ahh my friend, the first time I saw Tool was at a small club in SE DC called The Capital Ballroom in 1996 just after Ænema was released. I was on 2 vial drops of LSD-25 and about 15 minutes before Tool took the stage, a barely audible bass frequency could be heard and slowly it increased in volume, then at around 10 minutes people started holding their chests because the bass frequency had turned into a weapon and just before everyone started to leave Danny came out and started the intro to Third Eye, then each instrument followed suit. Then, while I was peaking on the cleanest acid I've ever had I saw MJK painted perfectly blue on his right side and silver on his left side perfectly 50/50. From the top of his head down, there was a perfect line dividing him in half. Besides seeing both pink floyd shows at RFK in 94, nothing has topped that experience and I've seen hundreds of shows. I'm so grateful to live 30 minutes from the 9:30 Club in NW DC. Cheers my friend!
What we want isn't a factor. I think there's about 13 years of evidence to back that up. But I think all artists appreciate the appreciation as much as we do the art, especially when it comes from the heart.

In 1996 I asked for some gardening tools for my birthday. My then 13 year old daughter bought me Aenima, along with a few assorted actual gardening tools which have long rusted away. We've gone to 5 of their concerts together. I have every album and this year for my 68th birthday she got me Fear Inoculum. She's a good kid.
Awesome kid!

I did it. I stayed alive long enough to finally hear new Tool material.
You never know, the album still hasn't been released yet until August 30.

So I have enjoyed this album. But never really gave it the love it really deserves. I'm one of the few Tool fans that put 10,000 days at the top of their discography. I recently have been hitting maybe what some would consider a mid life crisis. I'm in my mid thirties. Right before the Pandemic hit my mother started having medical complications. From October 2019 to April 2020. I watched her lose her mind because of complications with seizers. To the point she eventually started slipping in and out of a coma and took her last breath. In this same time line, I had met a wonderful girl who I felt came to me and I to her for a purpose. She was dealing with some life struggles at that time as well. We both just fit each other's needs at the right place and time. We fell in love very quickly and I decided I wanted to have a child with her. And we did just that within about 2 months of meeting each other. The last thing I ever said to my mother was that I loved her deeply and I told her her grandsons name. Kelly Eaton Smith. She wasn't awake. But she was conscious. In a medically induced coma because her seizures had become too erratic. There were restrictions on visitation because of the pandemic and they were hurrying me out for the night. I had ahold of her hands. And she barely had any strength but I could feel her trying to grip my hands as they were telling me to leave. She didn't want to let go. She passed the next day. My brother had decided to take her off of the machines and let her pass. As she was often in pain. And when she was awake, half the time she didn't even know who she was or where she was. She was a smart and amazing woman. And we both felt that she would never want to continue on like this. I still don't know if we made the right decision. But it didn't look like things were going to get better. So we did what we thought she would want.
It was like I had been given everything I've ever wanted (a woman and our son growing in her belly) all while watching everything I've ever had being taken from me (my wonderful and loving mother) at the same time. It fucked my head up very badly. Paired with the pandemic bullshit, I've been hopping from job to job ever since. It's like my give a shit button has just overloaded and stopped working. I gained almost 100 pounds. And though I'm not always a sack of shit, there has been many days where I just lay still and silent hoping I just deteriorate into nothing. My child's mother finally has left me. I'm currently still unemployed (but have a few interviews lined up for the rest of the week. Wish me luck if you feel inclined to do so.) AND on top of all that. I had slowly descended back into a drug habit of using MA. It was just dabbling here and there after my mom died. And remained quite like that for the rest of mine and my girlfriend's relationship. After she broke up with me though it started escalating. Still not dangerously. But concerning enough. My brother and the other woman who lives in our house were starting to notice my behavior. My son who is two and a half now, I began to become very short with him and strict to the point of not physical abuse. But definitely mentally harming him. Then one weekend in January. I was using while everyone was out in a trip. Just me and my son at home. We were running low on groceries and I was feeding him something. He didn't seem to want it and eventually threw it on the floor. Which made me very angry and I yelled and all this that and the other. I sent him to bed and he cried for his mom that night till he fell asleep.
All this plus some things I had been pondering at the time, put me into a spell of mania. I had been researching things and reading material concerning something specific I was looking for. (It's much deeper. But this is already too long of a comment. But it had to do with my grandpa's military service. He was a pilot, physics major, and computer programmer. He had a lot to do with the early long range weapons and missile programs in the 40's 50's and 60's He was a very informative man. And I just wished I had paid attention to him when I was growing up. But by the time I knew him he had become an old angry alcoholic who repeated himself too much and too loudly.)
I started breaking down words to their root meanings and translations. I literally read thousands of pages of just any and everything. Some of it I'm not even sure was real. Because I can't seem to find a lot of the material I had seen while being like this. I started getting into the realm of quantum physics. My grandfather would babble about this stuff and it made no sense to me. It was interesting but it's way beyond my intelligence level.
I began to develop this theory that there are some bands and other art forms that are purposely sending cryptic messages from government or other higher powers to people leaking certain bits concerning certain very important bits of information... Like a way of slowly introducing the world into a conscious change or shift of some sort. Good or bad I couldn't tell.
Anyways... It all became too much for me. And I became scared. I had been awake for three days and thought that I had over stimulated my brain and would be stuck like this forever. Like my thoughts and my self were two different things. And my thoughts were pestering me with fear of the unknown. I know this all sounds so dumb and crazy. But I just happened to turn this album on while I was laying in bed. Trying to get everything to stop. From that opening chime noise or whatever it is on this track, I was immediately put in what felt like a trance of tranquility. Listening to the sounds of Danny, Justin and Adam, and Maynard's voice soothed my mind. And what I took from this album is that in times of desperation and need, you can only choose from two paths. Fear or love. The unknown will always be present. But you have to keep discovering the information the universe delivers to you. And the way you process it will determine the way you use said information. So take it slow and don't feel so afraid. Even when we feel alone there's always a smile or something that can be found from people or just nature in general that surrounds us. Love will prevail if you allow it to.
This manic spell all happened back in January 2023. Its now five months later in Late June. Since then I dropped connection with my dealer. I don't use any drugs. Hell I don't even drink coffee anymore. Sugar is probably my only vice still left lol. I've been exercising at least 5 days a week. And have lost near 40 lbs.down from 290 to 240 (still have a long ways to go. I'd like to get back to 190.) I been searching for employment (this is still my down fall. But I'm working on it I think none of the positions I'm.interviewing for will fit perfectly with me being a single/part time father and other variations of my lifestyle). I've been rediscovering my passion for listening and creating music. Currently making goals of reinvesting in equipment to work on an album I'm conceiving. I have no intentions with it other than I just enjoy making music and writing. (As this comment would imply, I have a lot to say. Though I understand if no one wants to listen to the thoughts of an odd individual. I am aware that, like the rest of my race, I'm not quite sane in the night. But I'm sure I may find a spirit or two who may relate.) And most importantly, I am trying my best to stop pushing my anger onto my son. Instead of thinking of discipline first, I am trying my hardest to understand his behavior and make decisions based on how he feels first then judge accordingly as to how I feel and how I can improve the situation, be it through guidance or discipline, I'm using love as the main tool to nurture and raise him. I can say that since all that happened. I've only raised my voice at him maybe a handful of times. And our connection, even though he's only two, is quite amazing. I love that he trusts me and knows how to communicate his feelings to me at such a young age. His mother and I are doing well with each other. I doubt we'll ever get back together. But we are coparenting in a very halealthy way. No court or anything involved. And I'm just praying that I can keep this up and get back to a place I'm proud to be.
So after saying all that. I just want to thank this band for this album. Cause I believe that could have gone much worse very quickly had I not had some sort of way to diffuse what my mind was slowly doing to my reality. Though I realize my interpretation of the album isn't what the band was trying to convey. I also think they purposely make things abstract so that people can find their own meanings in their art by way of relation. And for that reason the fact that they even chose the name "Tool" has such a beautiful meaning... And just uh.. yea... Thank you.. I pray happiness and prosperity reaches us all at even our deepest and darkest moments. ❤️

This song was written in AA, true story
Hope you sober
Best concert I ever saw!!! They are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING live
@@BrianMac-r7l I'm jealous 😂would love to experience TOOL live
Tool fans: They're never coming out with another album.
Tool: Hold my years.
..tears.
This will be the last one though
Says who? These guys are too creative to call it quits. We will all wait for anything new as we have for what dropped today. Tool is too vital to my own existence to believe that this will be it (Aug.30).
@Chris Peter They didn't say that but its obvious with how slow they are and how stressful they find it to make one album with each other.
Honestly, I wouldn't be upset if this was really their last album. I mean, by now it looks like this is going to be another great album by them, and if that turns out to be true on August 30 then they will have no bad albums in their discography. Just imagine if they release a sixth album and it sucks, it would be a stain on their sacred reputation.
This was my moms favorite group. R.I.P mom I love you .🎧🎸❤
I know literally nothing else about her but I know she was fantastic. Sorry for your loss
We all love her, too 🤘Hang in there, brother.
I lost my mom back in 06, Tool and the Lateralus Album in particular are the biggest things that got me through those VERY tough times! I'm sure we will see our loved ones again someday,always stay positive and embrace love and happiness and celebrate life at every possible opportunity because that's what our mom's wanted for us! 🙂
*Embrace this moment,REMEMBER we are eternal all this pain is an illusion!* 🤘🤘

This is by far the best song of Tool since 2006.

DrigZee Lma exactly. That’s what makes them so amazing.

Thank you Tool it was worth the wait. I can see why it took awhile to create this masterpiece. Just another chapter to add to the Tool saga.
SAME
Hearing Tool live is an experience that cannot be replicated by anything else on this planet
1,000%!!
Primus concerts (and SOAD and Rage) were very similar. Not to each other, but in the respect of being something which was not replicable, by any stretch of the imagination, by any other band or place. I think I saw Primus 12 times in my hay day. 23 times, perfect circle two or three times. System of down a handful of times and Rage, only once. One of the only concerts I ever went to sober, intentionally! Just didn’t feel right to be inebriated when their music is so much about being awake and aware
HOLA QUIERO PENE
When they opened with this live a few months ago, goosebumps everywhere!
They take you out of your body and raise you into another galaxy.

Same. But isn't it sad to be just that? Not disappointed.
It definitely didn’t hit as hard as I thought it would be, but it was a good listen for sure
it always happens at first!
It's just a new Tool song. People hype this stuff up to ridiculous levels that it's almost inevitable that many are underwhelmed when it actually happens. I think it's a great track, I might prefer Descending a little more and I'm looking forward to the studio version, it'll blow the live version out of the water I reckon.
On acid this song Is perfect ❤️
I always forget that you need to listen to a Tool song at least ten times before you actually hear it.
Agreed

So true )
13 years and you forgot?
WORD. Didn't get this song the 1st time, now I'm addicted. Only been listening to them for 4 years, ha!

Ough ough ough

Took my grandson to see Tool, didn't want to go, said he didn't want to go see some hippie band from the 70's. Looked over during Sober, he had tears running down his face. Now he has tools album covers tattooed all over his body. Mission accomplished.
Hippie band from the 70s?
Where did he get that idea?
Our son is 5 and has gained an increase in amusement towards our musical taste lately. We've recently been talking about taking him to his first concert. We were mainly concerned with the loudness. But now that he tells us to turn it up while we're driving we've determined that the noise shouldn't be a big issue (he will be using earbuds when the time comes though).
I'd love for his first live music experience to be with Tool but I feel like it might be too much and might want to start with something different.
Awesome story!!! My daughter is 15 plays guitar and listens to all of my music lol. Wr saw Tool in November in Philly. 2nd song she says dad... they sound better than the who , Tesla ect. This is the best concert ever . I TEARED UP LOL. now we are seeing Tool again next week at Madison square for her 🎂 Tool makes life's in and outs that much better!!

It's like catching up with a mate you haven't seen in years. Familiar and comfortable. Expressing in conversation the wisdom that only time can produce.
I love that analogy. It's like everything was right where you left them. This track has made my day and left me wanting more.
🤘🤘🤘🤘
I love that familiar feeling paired with the last leg of the song where it seems to stretch its legs a bit and show us that it's not just more of the same except in quality. I would never want or expect Tool to make any extreme changes to their sound, but I am excited each time an album comes and shows us their growth in the interim between albums was worth the wait.
SO TRUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Verry well said my friend. You put it right to the point.
Tool is a state of being, not just some band. 🤘🏻
When maynard comes in it’s like hearing from a long lost best friend. Chilling track
That summed up the chill I got when he spoke too well.
I mean he never stopped making music but ok
It's a time machine. At Download in my 2006 Tool t shirt from the last download tool were at and it was a time machine. So beautiful. I just can't. Best set I've ever seen.
This song is proof that some people are just better at their job than others.

@@huntree4205 your also in for exposing yourself as a guy with no idea of music. Your opinion is yours man, but Opinions can still be based on Bullshit you know.
When I am in pain, when I am angered and when I feel hatred due to injustice, I listen to Tool or any band where Maynard James Keenan is the vocalist. Then I feel fine because I feel his anger and hatred in his songs. No sugarcoating. Perfect!
Rage against the machine is a great second choice for me. Or at least top five.
Absoluteley...i am so fed up with politics and cowardness in my country that iam now sitting here and got tears of anger running in my face...this Band opens an door to your inner strenght..pure anger release..
I’m thinking of all the tool fans who are no longer with us over last thirteen years... makes me appreciate being alive right now...
This comment hit me hard. I had a friend who was as big of a Tool fan as any I have known. He passed away last August. An amazing guy, but at least he got to listen to Eat the Elephant.

To paraphrase, “Tool is the master of making 10 minute songs that don’t feel like they’re 10 minutes.”
It definitely felt like 10 minutes because the first five minutes was the same thing on repeat

Immunity
Long overdue
Contagion
I exhale you
Lying
I opened up to you
Venom in mania
[Bridge 1]
Now, contagion
I exhale you
[Spoken Bridge]
The deceiver says, he says
You belong to me
You don't wanna breathe the light of the others
Fear the light
Fear the breath
Fear the others for eternity
But I hear them now inhale the clarity
Hear the venom, the venom in
What you say inoculated
Bless this immunity
Bless this immunity
Bless this immunity
[Chorus]
Exhale, expel
Recast my tale
Weave my allegorical elegy
[Verse 2]
Enumerate
All that I'm to do
Calculating steps away from you
My own
Mitosis
Growing through
Delusion from mania
[Chorus]
Exhale, expel
Recast my tale
Weave my allegorical elegy
[Post-Chorus]
Forfeit
All control
You poison
You spectacle
[Bridge 2]
Exorcise the spectacle
Exorcise the malady
Exorcise the disparate
Poison for eternity
Purge me and evacuate
The venom and the fear that binds me
[Verse 3]
Unveil now
Lift away
I see you
Running
Deceiver
Chased away
A long time
Coming
Hermoso

It was 1992 when I first heard TOOL...I'm 48 now and happy to say TOOL still gives me goose-bumps
Maynard's voice at 3:57 is what did it. That's the goose-bumps. I don't know how they do it, but the power at that point is incredible
High-Five! First saw Tool open for the Rollins Band at the Fairfax High School gymnasium right before the release of Opiate. Second best pit of my life, the first being Ministry.
That makes you OGT ;)
@@rud3m3chanical Beastie T and nipple ring bro
@@meinking22 That's an impressive show! Seriously - that's truly OGT shit. And now I'll blow your mind. I saw TOOL at the first Lollapalooza in Waterloo Village, New Jersey. I had no idea who they were at the time. We didn't go into the show yet, but were sitting on a hill overlooking the stage area drinking JD. There was this band playing that wasn't on the official line-up, but they were amazing. I was like who the fuck are these guys?....this shit is GREAT! That band was TOOL. And guess what? They were warming up for the first official band actually in the line-up...that band was Rollins Band

its like a perfect marriage of each one of their album's sounds into one, pretty amazing
TOOL has taken the #1 spot on the Billboard charts with Fear Inoculum WITHOUT using the concert-ticket album price/redemption inclusion scheme that EVERY POPULAR ARTIST uses. Now that's hardcore.
That's because this is real talent. It's not manufactured. People recognize that.
@@HmlsDarkOpsThat's just an absurdly ignorant thing to say. Billboards are populated with instant/single-use manufactured pop stars and it's been that way for decades now. The reason Tool is up there is first and foremost because of the hype, the fanbase, while of course they're incredibly talented. But to say that people- as a whole-. recognize real talent? Talk about accidental sarcasm :)
@@omnirhythm I absolutely agree with you. I guess I just gave people too much credit. But yea, you are right.
@@HmlsDarkOps Agreed about 'real talent.' The god of music put the gift of instruments, voice, sound, talent and lyrics into the hands of mortal men......and these men knew what to do with them. I will see them in Brooklyn....see you there!

Saw them for the first time last week. Was absolutely incredible
Justin is so full of energy on that bass isn't he?
Going to see for the first time at MSG Saturday 13 Jan 2024!!! Very pumped 🙌
Saw them for the first time this week, and yes, what an experience
The only problem is when Maynard stands up back with his back to the audience for the full concert. I saw him down in Portland Maine, and that's exactly what he did. Although I have seen him twice more at the amphitheater in Maine, and he was up front for those ones.
This is the shortest 10 minute song I've ever heard.

Fun fact I noticed today, and it's probably intentional
The lyric "mitosis" splits the length of the song perfectly in half at 5:11
Damn, right at 5:11 of 10:22, with a mirrored image picture as the background, with what looks like fractal spirals splitting in mitosis. This is bonkers!!

@panda adnap turn off the television and your clickbait news sites. it's a waste of brain cells.
This song is so fascinating. It lures you in, like a familar chant. You get sucked in and before you realize it you are caught in a wonderful storm that keeps you breathless but oh so happy when it is done. I will never get tired of listening to it.
Its crazy how much better this song gets with each listen.
The law of ascending returns.
Especially on Skullcandy Crushers
@@ryugo7713 Ah yes... Skullcandy. Especially...
Frank the bass is insane
I can’t say I agree. I’m hoping this is the worst song on the new album. I do like it but it’s just not what I imagined. I keep listening I do like. I just don’t love it.
Ænema: A song about a man wishing death upon LA and, preferably, the world at large.
Vicarious: A song about all of us being junkies for the death and doom around the world shown on TV.
Right In Two: A song about humanity's refusal to get along.
Fear Inoculum: A song that declares fear to be the most deadly virus of all, despite being so easily cured.
Descending: A song about humanity's need to rise up out of their lethargy and come together to face the real issues of the world.
Honestly, I struggle to think of a circumstance in which Tool _won't_ be relevant.
Its strange how this song interprets what's going on right now in the world.
Fear Is the mind killer
Very interesting! i like Tool but i am yet to fully grasp their music. But don't forget Stinkfist. about being so desensitised to everything.
F***Fear
More relevant then ever......
My favorite thing about tool is that I could clean the house, take a shower, and cook a 5 course meal and only have listened to 2 songs
Yes... Total middle aged mom agreeing with you.... Damn that's a lot of laundry and Tool. Saw Maynard -in all blue- at lollapalooza a million years ago... it never gets old.
I could be walking over a mile home and not even be halfway through a song
lol i could do one thing and listen to 2 songs
Bet you could h
Enjoy that youth !
From my point of view, the lyrics of "Fear Inoculum" explore psychological themes of fear, resilience, and inner transformation. The imagery of exhaling contagion portrays a visceral release from toxic influences that have infiltrated the psyche. This act symbolizes a cathartic purge of fears and anxieties, a necessary step towards reclaiming mental clarity and emotional stability.
The song's climax, with its exorcism of malady and deception, signifies a psychological breakthrough. It marks the triumph of self-awareness and agency over inner turmoil, leading to a transformative release from mental bondage. The journey from fear to clarity embodies the psychological process of confronting, integrating, and ultimately transcending adversity.
In essence, "Fear Inoculum" offers a profound exploration of psychological resilience and spiritual fortitude. It portrays a journey of inner healing and growth, where confronting fear and purging toxicity lead to profound personal transformation and newfound psychological freedom. And, without any doubt, it is also an absolute masterpiece, both musically AND lyrically. (16/6/2024)
Shut up, dork.
It sounds like Jesus rebuking the devil biyatch.....u like reading your own words .......
Can’t believe I’m actually listening to a new Tool song ahah
Hell yeah!!
Sounds JUST LIKE ALL THE OTHER ONES TOO
ryan mitchell wait, so you mean tool sounds like tool?
Timothée Guilbart first time I heard tool was opiate..... Been hooked since
@@CommunityGuidelinez Couldn't agree more... This track sucks harder than an L.A. hooker looking for a vegan meal. I hope this is the best track.
Fucking losers hyping up Tool, meanwhile it sounds exactly like their other tracks. I was hoping this was going to be terrible. Glad it was.
Who trends#1 with a 10:23 song in 2019? TOOL.. THAT'S who...!!
Power of nostalgia
One of the last groups who says fuck run times. We don't give a shit we make modern rock operas
Cult of luna: 10:51 :)
It's no rosetta stoned
Accept no substitute!
So beautiful! Blasted this in my apartment and then heard my downstairs neighbor playing it right after.
That's how you know the hype is in the air!!! :D
I hope that's true.
yeah lets be real that didnt happen
Lmao 😂
That's beautiful man
I saw them in Texas in 2001 was one of the best experiences of my life. Tool will always be close to my black heart 🖤
Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Immunity
Long overdue
Contagion
I exhale you
Lying
I opened up to you
Venom in mania
[Bridge 1]
Now, contagion
I exhale you
[Spoken Bridge]
The deceiver says, he says
You belong to me
You don't wanna breathe the light of the others
Fear the light
Fear the breath
Fear the others for eternity
But I hear them now inhale the clarity
Hear the venom, the venom in
What you say inoculated
Bless this immunity
Bless this immunity
Bless this immunity
[Chorus]
Exhale, expel
Recast my tale
Weave my allegorical elegy
[Verse 2]
Enumerate
All that I'm to do
Calculating steps away from you
My own
Mitosis
Growing through
Delusion from mania
[Chorus]
Exhale, expel
Recast my tale
Weave my allegorical elegy
[Post-Chorus]
Forfeit
All control
You poison
You spectacle
[Bridge 2]
Exorcise the spectacle
Exorcise the malady
Exorcise the disparate
Poison for eternity
Purge me and evacuate
The venom and the fear that binds me
[Verse 3]
Unveil now
Lift away
I see you
Running
Deceiver
Chased away
A long time
Coming
Excorcise as in exorcism not exercise.
??
"But I hear them now
And hear the clarity"
Immunity long overdue, not in unity. And exorsice, not exercise. Malady, not melody.
@@kimberawification13 omg...I changed it...thank you
Great song!
Damn seeing Tool pull a number 1 spot on trending in 2019 actually is fuckin awesome!!! Can't wait for the new album🔥🤘🏻🔥
Either its not trending in my country or it wasn't trending for long. Just cause a lot of people clicked it and listened to it, doesn't make it a good song. Probably why it was dumped off trending fast.
@@Masked_Official Except this song is nothing but amazing. Why you hating for?
@@HighWay93 I am not hating, I just don't like the song. I'm allowed an opinion right?
Jose Salinas same
MaskedHero I think the song is fine, there's a lot I like about it and a few things I don't like. It's just super exciting to see ol' Maynard and the boys back at it and it's cool to see a Tool song on YT's trending page after they been gone for like 15 years!!!
Dear lord, please let me live till Saturday. Amen.
LOL
The 30th is Friday is it not?
@@chillisoda DePenDs WheRe YoU LivE
Gospel
Just in case you don't make it, rest assured that you have already heard all of the best music from Tool.
This Album only gets better and better. An absolute masterpiece. I love this band.
Yes it grows and grows and the mind stays open and open!
Ah, per usual Danny going nuts on the drums, confusing lyrics, sick guitar licks, and an awesome bass track... classic tool. Good job boys
You forgot odd time signatures
The lyrics speak of becoming immune to the fear culture that is being preached around by everyone from the media to our leaders.
Most of their songs sound like the background music for rites of passage rituals
Indeed
Wow they really got the balls to make the first line “long overdue”
😂 I'm so glad someone said this lol
SyrinxPriest2112 clearly trolling
And the last line "A long time coming"
they have never been without a sense of humour, brilliant.
My first thought too
It's a dream come true to hear a new Tool song after so long. What a glorious day!
FINALLY!!!.... WORTH THE WAIT ID SAY!!!!!!
They released 2 new songs live in concert recently. This is the 3rd one. Meaning, only 4 left to go.
It's a FUCKIGN dream come true!!!!
kalventure fuk yea
I have been listening to this whole album on repeat every single day for literally months now ever sin e i got these killer sounding ear buds i just cant get enough of this album i listen from the time i get in the van all day on the jobsite when i break for lunch i recharge them so that tbey are at 100% when its time to hit it again this has become my favorite all time album can not fucking wait till the next one comes out!
It was only 13 years? Seemed like 5 seconds after listening to this song. I'm a happy, happy man today.
Only 13 years he says. Alot of shit happened in those measly 13 years.
Yeah I remember buying 10k days in Best Buy ha.
🤟😁
It's a beautiful day. Happy to hear some new Tool.
Most definitely
This has got to be the most positive comment section in the history of RUclips.
The only other positive comment section i've seen is any under a Band-Maid video. They are an all female hard rock band from Japan. Don't let the cute girls in maid outfits fool you, these ladies can shred. I've read nearly all the comments on their videos and i haven't found a bad one yet. Most of the comments are about how skilled they are and not about how hot they are, which is very refreshing. Check them out if you get bored. This isn't their best song but there's a bit of a TOOL vibe about 2:18 into the song. ruclips.net/video/N7BQCkUb4SI/видео.html
@Telios Abraxas god damn, all I want to do is strraang....make you see your errors
@Telios Abraxas I'm sorry your parents didn't hug you enough.
@Telios Abraxas i promise you, when u grow up you will loose all that negativity and anger towards your fellow man while trying to sound clever and sarcastic with your funny jokes. But u have to stop drinking that moonshine and get some deep sleep for like a year or so. Your reactions only reflect your thoughts about yourself and what u wish your life should have been like. Dont be so dissappointed, its a journey.
As a 2 year toddler I can tell that that Tool has such a profound and unique influence on my 6 month memory.
hey, bet you don't remember writing this
Hey daddy
Daddy chill
Typical attention seeking comment from a two year old.
What's wrong with you guys? Why are you calling him "Daddy"?
Welcome back Tool!!! Glad to have you here again.
Now, all we need is that freaky stop-motion and we´re all set.
Cthulu1985 fuck yes!!! IT would be awesome
Yes - we need an angry small plasticine man.
So good to see you once again, I thought that you were hiding. You thought that I had run away chasing a trail of smoke and reason!
New tool album: Done
HALF LIFE 3: here we come.
This guy is on to something
Douglas Franquiz, SERIOUSLY!!
you beat me to it lol
I don't know what one thing has to do with the other but, I agree
For real though
My Fear of dying before hearing this legendary new Tool has been Inoculated.
GO ON GIT!!
Amen. Now have to stick around long enough for the tour to come round
jdhelihed1 better be a proper world tour not a 8-12 City trek !!!
feel the same!!!!!!!!!
LOL :D
No matter what time day, year it may be. Tool is one of those bands that they will always be a masterclass. Spiral out
When I was 15 years old a friend of mine introduced me to T00L and I absolutely fell in love. There was nothing like it and hasnt been since. That friend went on to become a best friend, and he was such an anchor for me during some really hard times.
He took his own life in 2008.
I wish he could be here to experience this with the rest of us, but i know he is, in a different way.
RIP Conrad. Miss you buddy.
Megan Faye my best friend died in a car accident, earlier this summer. I often think about how much I wish he was still here to hear this.
@@garrethayden3197 Im so sorry for your lose. I wish i could say the pain will let up soon, but that would be a lie. Just remember when the grief hits you like a tidal wave to breath. Its the only way to get through it.
❤
Why was everyone 15 when they heard this. Me too haha
@@gregtaylor1161 me too lmao
The reason it takes TOOL so long to do an album is because they are actually taking the time to write some of the most awesome music the world has ever heard.
also because Maynard has like a million other side projects.
@@midwaygamer-ou3my true dat, true dat
Maynard didn't start writing until after 2012
That and keenan has like at least 3 other projects going. Pusifier seems to have his interest more these days.
Well if you listen to the forward observer, he says it's because the other band members of Tool make sure that the music that is played, is always exactly what they want, before he gets his hands on it. Personally I believe it.. This is ONLY musical act that crafts, creates and makes sure that it's at a Beethovian level before it hits the public.. Thanks Mr. Carey. Mr.Jones, Mr.Chancellor, and Mr. Turn down a commission at West point for all that you do, to show this generation and those of the past, what true music should be.. I am forever grateful and fortunate to be able to hear it.. The Angels of the musical choir in heaven sing your praises as well. Stay steadfast in what you do. We as the fans definitely appreciate it.
I want to welcome the new tool fans to this endless rabbit hole.
I've been a fan for tool for the past 15 years I'm proud I survive for this long to witness a new tool song.
i listened to 10000 days a few times and couldnt really get into it. should i try revisiting it?
fruitypeebils yes because the more you listen the more you grow to love it
fruitypeebils Personally Lateralus flows better as an album imo, but 10,000 has such great tracks in the album I can’t ignore it. The Pot? Jambi? Too good.
Effin word man.
9 years.
I sympathise with all of you as you are all true to your everything and this is just a reminder our everything becomes the missing pieces that just fell in place.
Thank you Keenan, Carey, Jones and Chancellor!
true!
Are those your friends?
Opens with the lyrics 'Long Overdue' and ends with the lyrics 'A long time coming'. Are we being memed?
Joseph Lockley Exactly how I felt. But we here now. I'm sure they were waiting a long time for it too.
After hearing the quality of the song, I’d say no 🙂
Tool is a meme band hello
I was not entirely convinced they weren’t just gonna release a 12 minute track of toilet noises.
They troll their fans. Fake album and track titles before lateralus and an entire album "leaked" that was fake for 10000 days
Maynard sings ‘mitosis’ at the exact mid point of the song. Mitosis is the process of dividing a cell into identical cells.
yup, 5:11 exactly. Classical Tool.
And when you pause it, it stands in the middle of the artwork which is a mirror image, sort of... I suppose someone should ''mirror reverse'' second half of the song and do some overlapping with the first half... fam knows the drill, we've done it with the Wings+Viginti tres+10.000days
I just read this comment at this point in the song on my first time through...trippy shit.
b watson The same happened to me
Deep
Just saw them
For the first time live couple nights ago, they started with this, my jaw was on the floor. I’ve legit never been so in awe at a concert before. Such a perfect opening song and was just crazy how much sound they put out on 3 instruments and a singer
Just saw them for the first time live last night and I agree! They are great in the studio, but they seriously put on the best show I've ever been to. It was unreal.
Ahh my friend, the first time I saw Tool was at a small club in SE DC called The Capital Ballroom in 1996 just after Ænema was released. I was on 2 vial drops of LSD-25 and about 15 minutes before Tool took the stage, a barely audible bass frequency could be heard and slowly it increased in volume, then at around 10 minutes people started holding their chests because the bass frequency had turned into a weapon and just before everyone started to leave Danny came out and started the intro to Third Eye, then each instrument followed suit. Then, while I was peaking on the cleanest acid I've ever had I saw MJK painted perfectly blue on his right side and silver on his left side perfectly 50/50. From the top of his head down, there was a perfect line dividing him in half. Besides seeing both pink floyd shows at RFK in 94, nothing has topped that experience and I've seen hundreds of shows. I'm so grateful to live 30 minutes from the 9:30 Club in NW DC. Cheers my friend!
Welcome to the addiction. I saw them for the first time in Louisville, KY in 2022. I'll be back.
@@travisbakeriii3053 I'm planning on going to NYC in January to see them again. They are addicting.
Oh dang! I saw them live for the first time a few weeks ago too!
Was it in Edmonton? :D
oh that beautiful guitar tone.
Has vibes of Reflection from Lateralus.
I was just thinking that
Not really man...guitars sound weak and need better EQ...
the percussion intro immediately threw me back to "Reflection," too.
Yep, but Reflection is better. Too much time, too much wine.
Shades of disposition are over this as well and I fucking love it
Finally!
Hey Half-Life 3,it's your turn
Stop asking for it it hurts because we know its not going to happen
@@braydoncoate That's what i thought for Tool new album
But i guess ,when you lose hope ,that's when it happens :D
Left for dead 3 at the very least. Portal 3 would be nice too.
Yea lemme find out Necrophagist gonna drop another album
i just fucking got over it... now you're re-inserting the knife and turning it... rubbing salt on the area :(
The reason why Tool knows exactly what we want is because Tool is just being Tool and we love them for being themselves.
Giving us the TOOLs to heal since 1990.
My bet is that they don't give two shits what we want.... they did what they wanted.
What we want isn't a factor. I think there's about 13 years of evidence to back that up. But I think all artists appreciate the appreciation as much as we do the art, especially when it comes from the heart.
You do know why they’re called tool right lol
The last 3 minutes of that song brings chills to my bones!!! So bad ass.👍👍👍
