Watching people get their mind blown by Tool is so fun....he was like is that two drops in one...I thought buckle up Dorothy cause Kansas is goin bye bye.
MJK(Maynard James Keenan)is the singer in TOOL however he considers his voice as just another instrument in the band, Danny Carey(drummer)is known as"The human Octopus, Justin Chqncellor is the bassist and Adam Jones is the guitarist, he also does their official videos.... Enjog the greatest band of our time, they use ALOT of polyrhythms, intense lhrics and mind bending riffs and breakdowns.......i would recommend lyri. Videos for starters but go down the rabbit hole, you will not be disappointed! TOOL army unite
Master level musicians who've been at it for 30+ years yet invisible to an entire generation because their music wasn't on streaming services until a handful of years ago. Welcome and enjoy the ride.
Welcome to the TOOL army my man. Get ready for a journey. Not to mention, reacting to tool will blow up your channel. You've had your introduction, now react to any of the following for another glimpse: 46&2, Stinkfist, Vicarious, or Sober. Don't delve into Lateralus or Parabola/Parabol just yet. You need to work up to those. 🤘
I actually agree. He won’t get the most of the experience until he gets experienced with the TOOL delivery. It’s a lot different than anything most people have heard, that’s why we love it
The idea behind the song is, “You must have gone insane, or been high, or something to even think that was an okay way to speak to someone, especially given all your skeletons. Maybe sit this one out.” And I love it.
If you’ve heard the saying about the pot calling the kettle black, it’s about hypocrisy in the same way.. he’s saying don’t point your finger at me when you have mud in your eye (basically you’ve done wrong too)
I'm addicted to reactions of things I love, because you get to remember how the first time felt, and enjoy the experience vicariously all over again, without your own jaded faded perception shitting all over the moment. This was wonderful.
I've stated on other channels, and I still mean it. I never get tired of others experiencing Tool for the first time. Much love brother. Welcome to the Tool army.
This is just the opener to your journey of sonic sound. Never do official videos for first listen. They are like mini psychedelic movies only to be watched after several listens. Lyrics are a must, they are half the experience. There are a few great live performances we will guide you to. Enjoy :)
The 3 guys playing instruments write their parts and perfect them and then pass the arrangement to Maynard who writes AROUND the instruments, not TO them. Makes him another instrument. Also puts a lot of what you hear into perspective. Welcome to the Army! Spiral out. Keep going! 🌀🌀🌀
This is my first Tool song. Ever. I never even heard of them until I started watching reaction channels and several of my favorite reactors Love Tool. But I hadn't listened to anything yet because I didn't know where to begin. Until tonight, I just decided to go for it. Now I'm going to shut up and listen to the rest of it... Edit: Well, it's not difficult to put Tool into the heavy metal category. Frankly, I'm a Deadhead at heart. And my album and CD racks are filled with the Grateful Dead, YES, Kansas, Electric Light Orchestra, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Supertramp, Emerson Lake and Palmer, The Alan Parsons Project, the Moody Blues, Joe Walsh, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Hendrix, Lynard Skynard, CCR, the Allman Brothers Band, Buddy Guy, B B King, Traffic, the Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan, Foreigner....Big Twist and the Mellow Fellows, Paul Cebar & the Milwaukeeans...the list goes on and on and on and on.....Damn I'm old, but I grew up with the greatest era of music ever! However, I was never into real heavy metal - AC/DC, Black Sabbath, Twisted Sister, Megadeath, even Van Halen or KISS. However, after experiencing my first Tool, I really do like the richness and depth of their instrumentation. For only four band members they have a very big sound. I was impressed. I want more. Any suggestions as to what I should listen to next?
Start with sober and stinkfist. Then 46&2, lost keys and Rosetta stoned, they need to be heard together so be careful. The grudge is awesome. Make sure to watch Danny Carey drum cam on pneuma live, it's a life changing song and video.
I just subscribed to you after watching a couple Pink Floyds, then Tool. Awesome. I loved watching the confusion on your face first time listening to Tool, that means you get it. Basically Tool and Pink Floyd are the same band 30 years apart. Thank you for your honest reaction. Lyrics next!!
If you’re open to mind-blowing music, dive in. Nothing’s the same. The Pot is one of Tool’s more straightforward songs. They’ve got tracks that leave me physically/mentally exhausted even after 30 years. Get used to the phrase, polyrhythms Buckle up… Spiral out!
Next should be the song Sober live in 93 video, it's the song that got them started. Also, it's recommended that you do lyrics video or audio, because their videos can be distracting from the message of the song. Their process of making music is Adam Jones (guitarist) is also the creator of the album and video art. Then Danny Carey (drummer.nicknamed the octopus because he plays like he has 8 arms, consider one of the goats in the industry. Then there's Justin Chancellor (bassist) who replaced Paul Damor who left the band after their first 2 albums. These 3 Adam Justin and Danny make the music first then Maynard James Keenan the (Vocalist and lyrics writer) gets it, listens to it to feel what the music is saying and then writes the lyrics. That's why wait do their videos later. Cause Maynard might have a different interpretation with the lyrics and Adam the video creator might bring a different angle to the music.
The pot is a double entendre. The pot calling the kettle black is an adage to describe hypocrisy. He says when you piss all over my black kettle, you must have been high. Being on the pot while calling out the hypocrisy that the pot has the nerve to call the kettle black
FUN FACT: About the guitarist Adam Jones: Jones was offered a film scholarship but declined and chose to move to Los Angeles to study art and sculpture. His interest shifted to film, and he began to work as a sculptor and special effects designer, where he learned the stop motion camera techniques he would later apply in Tool's music videos, such as "Sober", "Prison Sex", "Stinkfist", "Ænema", "Schism", "Parabola", and "Vicarious". He graduated in 1987. After graduation, he went to work at Rick Lazzarini's Character Shop. During the next two years, he worked on the TV show Monsters. He designed and fabricated a Grim Reaper makeup and a zombie head on a spike (later used in Ghostbusters II) among others. After that, he went to Stan Winston's special effects workshop, where he worked on Predator 2, sculpting a unique-looking skull for the Predator's spaceship interior.[5] Jones worked on several other films in Hollywood doing makeup and set design, including Jurassic Park, Batman Returns, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Dances with Wolves, and Ghostbusters II. He did the "Freddy Krueger in the womb" makeup for A Nightmare on Elm Street 5: The Dream Child, as well as work for A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master. He also worked on commercials for salad dressing (never aired), Olympic Paints & Stains (Albert Einstein makeup), and Duracell (boxers and taxicabs).
Check out Danny Carey’s drum cam! he is the drummer but it gives you a crazy insight to how complicated their songs can be and how talented they all are
IMO this song really has nothing to do with Weed. People just assume it is because of the provocative name. This song is, at it's core, a rage letter against hypocrisy in society. It is a great "intro" song for tool, as every song they make sounds like Tool, but they are not the same at all and The Pot has a really strong bass hook at the start to ease you in before they open up more fully and then it has the chill out section before build back up again. Welcome to the wonderful world of Tool.
It's an incredible song, but the underlying message is the old adage of "the pot calling the kettle black" ... It stems from a judge sentencing Danny Carey, the drummer to 45 days in jail for simple possession of marijuana, but the judge that sentenced him was also arrested for possession of marijuana and didn't get charged!!! Listen to the lyrics again and it'll make sense...
The theme of the song is, obviously, about hypocrisy. It was inspired by one of Maynard's (the singer) friends being arrested for marijuana possession or growing marijuana (ive heard different stories). The judge handed down a pretty hard sentence, which he was infamous for doing for marijuana offenses in his courtroom. However, it came to light later down the road that the judge was a drug addict himself and was arrested for possession of cocaine or methamphetamine (again, ive heard differing stories). So the overwhelming hypocrisy of this one judge inspired Maynard to write the incredible lyrics for this banger of a song.
The song is sort of a double entendre... you must have been high (on pot) if you're being a hypocrite by judging me (pot calling the kettle black). People will say it's about weed, it's not, it's just about hypocrisy in general. In Tool the instruments aren't just accompanying the vocals, the vocals are treated more like another instrument so that's why it sounds like you mentioned. Guitar, bass, drums, vocals with some keys here and there. Just 4 dudes playing.
Not like Tool, but has some fun unexpected things - Look up the band Maximum the Hormone. The song is Koi No Mega Lover. Japanese band. Find the music video, looks like a party in the first bit - just give it a 40 seconds.

It’s a guitar, bass guitar drums and the singer. That’s it. 4 ppl at the top of their game.
Watching people get their mind blown by Tool is so fun....he was like is that two drops in one...I thought buckle up Dorothy cause Kansas is goin bye bye.
truer words were never said.
It is! Reminds me of my own reaction when I first heard them...
LOVE IT!!!!!!

Here for TOOL! Greatest band ever. Not a single bad song.
U just experienced the greatest band of all time. Welcome aboard. Enjoy the ride. Spiral out. Keep going.
The song is about hypocrisy...."the pot" calling the kettle black. You are absolutely right... it's a masterpiece.
The idea behind the song is, “You must have gone insane, or been high, or something to even think that was an okay way to speak to someone, especially given all your skeletons. Maybe sit this one out.”
And I love it.
Tool is the best band of my lifetime! 30+ year fan and no one compares. Get ready for the ride. Just start from the beginning. Spiral out.
If you’ve heard the saying about the pot calling the kettle black, it’s about hypocrisy in the same way.. he’s saying don’t point your finger at me when you have mud in your eye (basically you’ve done wrong too)
“Am I trippin?” is the correct answer, brother.
Tool really is one of the greatest bands of our time, you can't go wrong with any of their music, frankly.
Yup
I'm addicted to reactions of things I love, because you get to remember how the first time felt, and enjoy the experience vicariously all over again, without your own jaded faded perception shitting all over the moment. This was wonderful.
The pot calling the kettle black. That's the theme.
Tool is so good. Descending is such a banger. But all their stuff is.
Maynard (the singer) considers his voice an instrument and all instruments are equal in his band. That's why he rarely takes center stage in concert.
I've stated on other channels, and I still mean it. I never get tired of others experiencing Tool for the first time. Much love brother. Welcome to the Tool army.
Once you hear Tool, you can't go back. Welcome to Tool Army bro!
I’ve been a Tool fan since 93 & I really enjoy watching people discover them
& get it
Welcome to the Tool Army! Spiral Out 🌀🤘 Check out 46&2 next!
Tool is just as if Jimi Hendrix and King Crimson had a child.
yea the 4 people thing is crazy.
Welcome to the army good sir. Glad to have a new member. Can't wait to watch you go through what we've all been through. Spiral out
This is an incredible band, the writing is miles above most. Always deep messages and intricate instrumentals, not to mention composition overall
This is just the opener to your journey of sonic sound. Never do official videos for first listen. They are like mini psychedelic movies only to be watched after several listens. Lyrics are a must, they are half the experience. There are a few great live performances we will guide you to. Enjoy :)
Ready for more Tool? Do Vicarious! It kicks ass!
Oooo im so glad you liked it!!! 👍

Dig deeper into Tool. You can't go wrong.
Much love Lisa!! hope you enjoyed!! 💯
Check out Danny Carey’s drum cam! he is the drummer but it gives you a crazy insight to how complicated their songs can be and how talented they all are
It's a lot to do with being hypocritical also about being high 🙃

Much love!! 💯💯
'Lemon juice up in your eye' = you are blind
'Your chosen indigo' = the rich you choose to lead you
And it blew up in your face
Go on down the hole my man.
Tool uses vocals to complement the instruments and vice-versa
