The vast majority of Tool's music as a band is to encourage people to grow. Sneakily some of the most positive metal you can find to exist.
Nothing but facts 💯🔥
Not metal. They blend prog-rock with hard rock. Spot on about message though. They call themselves tool because the music is meant as a tool for you to use as you see fit.
@@LycaonofArcadia81I would count them as progressive metal
"Sneakily some of the most positive metal you can find to exist"
Fair to Midland has entered the chat and left after dropping 2 flawless albums
One of the greatest songs ever. Now you know what Tool fans mean when they say "Spiral out, keep going!" after every Tool reaction.
I LOVE IT WHEN THEY CROSS THIS BRIDGE
Tool just isn't a band, but rather an adventure for real. Sit back and enjoy the ride.
Aenima. That will spark an interesting conversation.
That was the first album and track that I first listened to TOOL, I've been in the TOOL SHED ever since
a song that is almost 30 and more relevant today
Flush it all away…
Over thinking over amylasing separates the body from the mimd.
As an infant colors of vision are limited to black and white, then reds and yellows. Whatever his lyrics are symbolizing, it is in reference to a new beginning. He the says "infinite possibilities"
The REAL bomb is when you realize the lyrics themselves are a literal SPIRAL! Specifically the Fibonacci sequence that happens everywhere in nature. From Wikipedia: "[The song lyrics] began linking up to the Fibonacci sequence." The syllables Maynard sings in the first verse follow the first six numbers in the pattern, ascending and descending in the sequence 1-1-2-3-5-8-5-3. "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 (5). Lets me see (3)." In the next verse, Maynard begins with the seventh number of the Fibonacci sequence (13), implying a missing verse in between. He descends back down with the following pattern; 13-8-5-3. "As below so above and beyond I imagine (13). Drawn beyond the lines of reason (8). Push the envelope (5). Watch it bend (3)." The second verse adds the missing line to complete the sequence; "There is (2), so (1), much (1), more that (2), beckons me (3), to look through to these (5), infinite possibilities (8)." 1-1-2-3-5-8-5-3-2-1-1-2-3-5-8-13-8-5-3. ...SPIRAL OUT!!!
I Love how the Tool army, on every reaction vid is there to guide and support new listeners, freaking amazing 👏
Babies see in black/white for the 1st few months as their eyes develop. Color's start to progress hence "red&yellow then came to be, let's me see".
Also, Maynard grew up in the Michigan/Ohio area, and the most common racial interactions were between black people and white people. It wasn’t until he moved to LA and the SouthWest that “red” people and “yellow” people first “reached out to him” and “made him be.” Maynard’s philosophies have since been rooted more in Far East and Native American ideologies.
@@mitchalday wtfe. The post that you are responding to is actual facts...your attempt at that is a fail...these aren't facts from him but assumptions from you. Sorry to be so blunt but your statement is bullshit.
was comming down into the coment section to post excactly this @ifiperson, Mitch is totally wrong with his own personal theory.
You guys are probably right. Lateralus is far too simple a song for multiple interpretations to be true at the same time. Sorry about that.
Lol black white yellow and red are on the native american color wheel. Also the first colors we develop.. Deff not about black white yellow or red people lmao wtf
The irony of over analyzing Lateralus is one of my favorite things to be a part of. 🖖🏿🖤
Tool and their pseudointellectual fans
As a member of the Tool Army I need to thank you for diving down the spiral and expanding your enlightenment. That being said, this song has more layers than you think. The syllables used are based on the mathematical pattern known as the Fibonacci sequence which defines(plots) the shape of many things such as sunflower heads to seashells and galaxies. The pattern creates a spiral. The song itself describes letting go of fear and opening your mind to the inner diety that is connected to the collective unconscious(also known as the Akashic record). But thats just one layer and there can be other opinions... look into the phrase " as above, so below"... and metaphysics and philosophy of Carl Jung dealing with alchemy and Gnosticism.
Well said
In that phrase they may also be describing Yin Earth and Yang Sky.
Can you explain the meaning of fear inoculum song from the new album?
Perfectly said
....................................................................tool ARMY.........................................................................
Eulogy by Tool! For the love of God Eulogy.
46&2....basically anything they do is gold. Entire Undertow and Anemia album are amazing.
You're so loud
@@justindearmond1 Anemia lmao
A Perfect Circle - The Noose
💯
1 black
1 then
2 white are
3 all I see
5 in my infancy
8 red and yellow then came to be
5 reaching out to me
3 lets me see.
Fibonacci!!
Asia Maynard speaks to you. when you guys do a tool reaction you always make a face and there is a sense that this is hitting you differently than anything else you guys listen to. It is fun to watch you react to everything but it is even more fun when you react to Tool. the beat the guitar the bass and Maynard seem to move you differently and it is awesome to see!
"Black and White are all I see, in my infancy, red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me, lets me see." Black and white are rudimentary. The colors of the electromagnetic spectrum are photons of light reflected off of mediums and based off of their wavelengths is how our brains depict them. So it's basically the steps in how we visualize the universe. We learn more and more about it every decade. And the title Lateralus is based off of lateral thinking. The way that Einstein developed the theory of relativity was by picturing himself on a photon traveling at the speed of light and what would occur. So Maynard is implying that in order for us to resolve the mysteries of the universe we must think outside the box.
The greatest album ever recorded. Each song (bar Ticks & Leeches, which sticks out like a sore thumb, but is still brilliant) tells a story about personal development in some way.
I think ‘Ticks & Leeches’ is an important piece of the puzzle, it temporarily removes the walls and gives you a real-life example of how to apply some of the lessons contained in the rest of the album.
Be an individual, but don’t take your art too seriously.
Ticks & Leeches, to me, represents the inevitability of learning to compromise.
Ticks & Leeches was their response to the record label saying they needed a harder, more “aggressive” song on this album, so they directed it at them.
@@Lurch685 Thanks Wikipedia.
@@RDB93 you must be fun at parties.
@@Lurch685 Yeah I know Lurch
This song was a mathematical masterpiece like most tool music. Artist on another level.
Also completely accidental if you believe Maynard. He didn't realize until about halfway through recording the lyrics and then just ran with it.
Y'all should check out The Grudge by Tool if you haven't already.
Everyone reacts to The Grudge, I'm waiting for the one that has the balls to do Maynard's Dick.
My man, the drop in The Grudge is 2nd to none.
As babies develop, they start out seeing in black and white and then red and yellow begin to develop in their vision. After that, other colors become a thing to the eyes.
Yep... in this case Maynard’s lyrics were very literal.
@@capsdude4838 so Literalus?
Right in Two by Tool!!!!
absolutely!
Please do Intension and Right in two in the same video. They belong together.
Nobody ever knows about that BANGER. I lost it when I saw they actually listened to it. You n this comment must've helped! So THANK YOU! 🙏
@@Muzikrazy213 Bro 10,000 Days released in April 2006 - I’d just turned 13 at the time. I was getting ready to go through my “wait a minute, these songs are way deeper than just some rock music” realization and then that album became the only thing I listened to, on repeat, for years 🤣 Actually, here’s how bad it is - I will catch myself humming the chanting/singing from Lipan Conjuring while I’m working around the house because that crazy ass song just plays on repeat in my head all day everyday now 🤣
"Swing on the spiral to.. our divinity.. and still be a human."
Your ability to think does not outweigh your intuition; keep them in balance.
Turning your dreams into reality requires leaving the clouds on occasion.
It's ok to spend time imagining grand things, but don't let life pass you by.
Right in two. Check it out. Tool has all great songs
My favorite Tool song. Somebody else had to say this already in the comments. The lyrics at the beginning follow the Fibonacci sequence. Which goes 1 1 2 3 5 8 13 ......
While also Adam, Justin, and Danny are playing a sequence of time signatures of 987 which is also a number in the Fibonacci Sequence. This sequence is also prevalent in nature as a perfect spiral.
@@ragingcyclone369 Thanks I'm not musically knowledgeable
Syllables, not lyrics…
@@SatanDynastyKiller my mistake I was wrong
Lateralus, for me, is one of Tool's top 3 songs
About the colors and infancy: that's a metaphor from literal infancy and the journey of the soul. At the start of our journey, we only have black, until a moment of white. Then red and yellow reach our minds (the first two colors the eye perceives of the visible light spectrum). This also parallels our soul's growth from a naive binary world of absolutes to a universe of complexity and possibilities. It really sets the stage for the entire rest of the song's meaning.
You diving right into metal. Best Band ever.
Tool isn’t metal
@@franktherabbit47 it's it own genre 🤘
Your takes on this song are spot on. Here's what I think REALLY makes Tool so great. You guys and KKdogMedia both dropped your reactions to this song today, and both had different interpretations as the song went. Both were just as accurate as the other, and at the end both conclusions were on the same wavelengths. Tool can put you in a trance, take you on a journey, teach a message, and everyone's experience is different but everyone comes back to Earth on the same point.
Great reactions and analysis, guys!
I showed up for Tom, I'm here for TooL, but I stayed for A&B. Spiral out!
Wings for Marie and 10,000 Days (played as one track) will blow you guys away!
Thanks for going on this journey and letting us watch...spiral out :)
The thinking man's metal
I'm a Tool fan for sure, mainly for their music. However, their lyrics are fantastic as well making for a deeply rewarding band to get into. Maynard has developed a lot as a human being and could only have done so, IMO, by sharing and expressing with others, without fear. He was clearly angry and ventilating a lot lyrically with the first two albums. However, from there on, it was not so much about him, but more about humanity, a reality check for us all from his own eyes, and also encouragement. I see that you have both heard his message in this song and loved listening to your sincere sharing of your own interpretations. What a breath of fresh air!!! Asia and BJ, continue to be just who you are and not falter. This is Maynard's prescription. Tool's song 'Ticks and Leeches' from that same album 'Lateralus' was made in response to their record label wanting more of a type of music from them, rather than what they would want to make as a group. Of course, Maynard will have none of it and let them know what he felt of that sort of demand in 'Ticks and Leeches'. He refuses to be a sellout. Hopefully, you'll listen and react to more of Tool.
One doesnt merely listen to Tool..One experiences Tool!
There is no wrong interpretation of Tool. What you get out of it is what you get. Each song will mean different things as each of us develops.
So true, I am still hearing different messages a decade after I was introduced to tool.
You're right! 😀
There is no wrong interpretation of songs. Like to me "Uptown Funk" by Bruno Mars is about Nuclear Holocaust.
Asia I like your interpretation on this one. Tool songs are meant to be interpreted on your own. Music means something different to each individual. Love that
Whenever I meet someone who has never heard of Tool I usually tell them “the best way I can describe it is they’re like a heavy Pink Floyd” 🖤🥶imo best band on the planet
the greatest thing about tool, and i have been to see them every time they come to the northwest, is the fact that they are just as great sounding live as in the studio. that is a real testament
LOL. Everytime. Without fail. As soon as they spiral out the third starts opening up. Dont stop. Keep spiraling out.
I think that as an infant you first see in black and white. Red and yellow slowly develope over time and blue is the last color to develope. Its also interesting that after this song on the album is a song called eon blue apocalypse.
Y'all hit on the messaging in the lyrics. The phrases that hit me the most is, "overthinking, overanalyzing separates the body from the mind". We are one with everything and when we overthink we can't feel that connection.
Several of the images used in this song derive from the alchemical works of Carl Jung, who sourced many of his theories (including archetype theory into which the anima and shadow are subsumed) from the late alchemical works of the 17th and 18th century.
The use of color imagery appears to have manifold meaning. Firstly, the specific colors used (black, white, red and yellow) designate the phases of the alchemical transformation: the melanosis (blackening), leukosis (whitening), iosis (redenning) and the xanthosis (yellowing). The latter two colors (red and yellow) were later synthesized into the aurora consurgens or fusion of red/yellow as explicated in alchemical works attributed to Thomas Aquinas: the dawning of the true self. I'm not sure of the actual scientific validity of the infant theory of visual perception as expounded on in 'the giver,' but I do know that these colors attributed to the work of the alchemist's predates any possible scientific speculation by several millinea.
Magnum opus (alchemy)
Obviously this song is about exploring constantly. The "color section"... babies start seeing the world in black and white, later they start seeing red and yellow and the other colors much later.
Life’s too short to be complacent, always strive to do more.
Over thinking over analyzing
Separates the body from the mind
Withering my intuition
Leaving opportunities behind.
These have to be some of the best lyrics ever written.
Evolution of perception and how the process is necessary for maturing of our consciousness within the chrysalis of our mortal shells to emerge from it's limitations into the freedom of possibilities as we truly are...limitless potentiality. That's what this song is about.
Ive watched a few of your videos and Asia is killing it. She really listens intently and tries to figure out why and how they have put everything together. Dont get me wrong, BJ really vibes out but Asia is reacting like she is a music exec or something!
I love how you 2 dive into the lyrics and don't just mindlessly bob your head. In doing that you're in for a treat if you continue down the Tool rabbit hole. Keep it up
I love watching people see what I see and feel in the same music you're listening to. Both of you have a keen understanding, it's refreshing to see. Spiral out beautiful souls.
Reflection by tool is a must listen.👍 great job guys.
YES! It took me awhile to recognize what an amazing song that one is. Too often gets overlooked.
But they really should listen to it only right after listening to Disposition then Reflection then Triad all in one sitting. REALLY meant to be heard in one.
The holy trinity ...
@@PongGod true, you rarely see reflection being recommended. It's really underrated. It's my favorite Tool song.
My lady . I live what you spoke on! You are braver then I am ..NEVER doubt yourself .. I know it takes more bravado then most POSSESE to speak those words .. you are now making bigger self afferming moves alot of us do not have the courage to face..and or DO .!
Actually, Reflection & Disposition!! Love that you guys are getting into Tool
your right its an evolution and an acceptance of different cultures
its about evolution, the first "eye" formed only was able to detect movement, thrn it evolved so we were able to see black and white and colours came later
Tool is a huge Rabbit Hole. Great analysis.Try out Right in Two then Vicarious back to back. I am very interested in what you have to say.
Love your channel. ✌&❤
i appreciate you both for getting what tool is about - i really do.!! tool is not just a band playing music, tool is a gateway to your inner self and your consciousness. it's a spiritual experience.
the lady asking for this going to be happy saw her request yesterday this & many other metal rock in me grew up with it
16:45 "You'll understand it, when you're ready to understand it" Real talk! Keep up the good work y'all
Man she's beautiful and can sing. Very nice job
Yeah, definitely I think the black and white and red and yellow line is like, when you’re young everything is either good or bad… and as you grow you learn that nothing is ever truly black and white but has shades of gray and there are many influences on the decisions you make and people who do bad things aren’t necessarily evil or bad, but they were making that choice for a reason… and people who do good things aren’t always selfless and doing good things for the right reasons, they may be doing it so they look good and then they get some benefit as well, which is manipulative. So we go from this solid everything is good or bad view of the world to a more nuanced one where there’s room for interpretation and mistakes.
Love this song. Love you guys! 🖤
Black.and white were the first colors used in art, and then came yellow and red, colors like blue were harder and came later. He's talking about a progression in his creativity.
I know it's a very late comment but, 5 years ago, I had to play Lateralus with a band, for a Live artistic event. We did it but, it's been a huge mental challenge; the only way I've been able to not messing it up was to trust the musicians, ignore them and be the metronome lol.
Btw this Song was build and writen on the "Fibonacci sequence"(Math). From drums to the vocals.
THIS is what makes Tool the band of all bands. every song is debatably exquisite in it's individual supremecy. the meanings are blissfully diverse yet have absolute 💯 meaning to Tool the writers. appreciation is what I use to describe Tool
I watched an interview with Maynard (the lead singer) states that it came from the first nations color wheel, black, white, yellow and red.
👍
Fuck Yes. Spiral out! Thank you for getting Tool. They are the best band.
I listen to tool a lot and have followed them since they came out and I have never heard this song until it came into my playlist and to listen it with you guys is cool
Lovelovelove
One of my/if not my favorite album of all time!
Perspective. Looking down or up it's a spiral. Horizontally it's a Taurus. And beyond as the perspective changes. Ty. You both are super nice in many ways.
Checkerboard/duality, red is root, yellow is solar plexus. He will then “speak” to you if you’ve been knocking.
I'm sure it's been said, but infants only see black and white. Just the way our brains/eyes evolve. Then more colours scootch in. It has so many meanings in this song
Tool--- Lateral US Foward --- Get it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 Spiral out
Great analogy! Diggin the dialogue and breakdown that you guys do, keep it coming!!! Thank You for being real.
The syllables of this song were put in 1,2,3,5 then in reverse. Extremely complicated song. Pure Art though. Not to mention how amazing Danny the drummer is.
IT IS ALSO COOL TO SEE A COUPLE BE PASSIONATE ABOUT THE SAME THINGS IN LIFE. you guys are cool!!!
Tool is in there own class of amazing talent. Keep listening. Unmatched talent.
Awesome reaction guys! Loving your Tool journey. Spiral out! Cheers ✌🏼
You guys are great thank you!
Y’all need to be doing more TOOL reactions.🤟🏼
You two are so smart. Love this channel.
I kind of just interpret the lyrics myself... But to me the first few lines are talking about how every thing was good or evil, positive or negative, etc. But then as "red and yellow then came to be", he realized the lines can be blurred... Not everything can be defined as one or the other... There are variables, tangents, other forces that come into play as you start viewing the bigger picture.
Cool to see y'all travelling further down the Tool rabbit hole; You're Tool Fam now, thanks for the video...
~ SPIRAL OUT! ~ KEEP GOING! ~
Babies are born colorblind. After awhile they learn to see color. I also think he's referring to how the world is not black and white. All societal issues have shades of gray. But mentioning black, white, red, and yellow, he could also be hinting at colors of skin, but he left out brown. Back in 2001, this wasn't really realized fully. But I do like the sentiment. Great video ya'll.
Yo I've been watching yall for the last couple of years and just now realized I wasn't subscribed. The fact that yall have consistently showed up in my feed says something about yall.
Black and white is an analogy of looking at life in a simplistic way
Tool is the perfect love letter to pass from one stranger to another
one of my fav songs ever bless ya guys join the army.and turn it app
Favorite song from my favorite band. The mathematics and spirituality in this are insane.
They used the fibanacci sequence as their rhythm structure. Genius. Im sorry if I spelled that wrong. Lol.....
A friend of mine had crippling stage fright. After he went to a hypnotist, he don't have any more problems.
Yes guys explore yourself
Infants can only see black and white on the color spectrum then red and yellow develope. This song is about the progression of the human spirit/being.
The title of the song came from the concept of lateral thinking. Viewing problems through a new light. The first verses show a progression of colors reflecting the birth of an individual, a universe, or a thought. The singer pulled the colors from aboriginal creation stories which played a heavy role. As well, the colors Black, White, Red, and Yellow represent the 4 color changes in Medieval Alchemy to create the philosophers stone in order.
Look up something called the Fibonacci Sequence (it's a mathematical constant), write down the numbers, then come back and listen to the song again while counting the syllables Maynard's saying. Then do it again and count the music. They match the numbers with the music. Next level thinking when it comes to music. It's tool, so that's what we've all come to expect. Spiral out, keep going!
Babies literally can't see color for the first few days. Their eyes are still developing. It's not a metaphor. In time they slowly begin to see colors. Like red and yellow.
Superb analysis.
shine on fella #toolarmy man
NO FUCKING WAY! I started following you guys coz I dig ur movie and TV reactions and now I find out that you guys reacted to Tool? As if I didn't like you guys enough! lol My warmest regards to you and your family A&BJ! Your now family in my books XD ❤ Sending love and good vibes from Sydney, Australia.
Love it , Lex is loving her some Tool ! What a great band . Do more Tool please
Wrong channel bro, that's Asia
