WHY ARE WE LIKE THIS? 🎵 Tool Lateralus Reaction
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июн 2021
- Thanks for checking out our reaction to Tool Lateralus cover done by the School of Rock students. Lateralus is a cool song with all the vibes. This song seems to be about things that are beyond the veil, if you know what I mean. We love stuff like this. It's a topic that isn't too common in songs that we've come across, so it's nice to see it for once.

Brad & Lex
PO BOX 4393
Clearwater, FL 33758
Lex got this. She's very observant of the lyrics just mentally diving into this. She's amazing.
Brad, Tool is made for thinking. Not all rock is the same. Don’t let anyone discourage you.
TOOL is definitely for thinking, encourage all the thinking. So much over-analyzing completely NOTHING though. Maynard himself said the fibonacci thing was an accident.
if someone hears tool and doesnt start thinking, i would think they were a robot
Yea, but he has already said over and over, he doesn’t like to think.
When Brad said something along the lines of, "People tell me I think too much so I'm not going to say anything," I got a bit triggered at the audience.
The only reason I've been watching the videos on this channel is because I like hearing the analysis of the hosts. Is art not subjective? The purpose of this "reaction" genre is to experience the art through the lens of others. That way, we have an opportunity to engage with the work in a new way and re-experience awe in something that has become familiar to us. You can't achieve that by asking the lens not to communicate what it sees. What is the purpose?
To the audience: If you're only here to convert people into fans of your favorite band--but you aren't interested in how they engage with it or what they think--you're a zealot. I hope you can learn to totally ignore the zombies in the comments, Brad. Have fun and engage with the music however you like.
@@nickgeurtsen well said
We need to get Lex to a metal show asap for Brads safety.
I agree. I can see her at the edge of a pit saying I’m going in and Brad holding her arm saying NOOOOOOOOO!
facts :D
@@dannyneve8501 Pit is one of the safest places for a woman at a show.
Totally! Lex reacts like I did first time listening to TOOL in 1990! She needs to be at these shows! Brad come along man, you'll have fun!
I broke my shoulder last time I went in a pit (after 20+ successful moshes) so I'm scared to go in again. Maybe I'm too old now anyway 🥸 all i wanna do is push other sweaty dudes around and not go to the emergency room lol

@@garrettgearhart6123 also ancient historical texts tended to describe things as black, white, red and yellow but never colors such as blue. It is believed that though we could see these colors we didn't really perceive them until we gave them names and payed attention to distinguish all of the colors.
@@joecitizen6405 An additive sequence... thought to be the natural sequence of nature most noted in botanical specimens.
Fibonacci sequence, I think, is an invitation to interpret it how an individual sees fit. And it WILL fit. The sequence is everything. Most everything, for example, the human face has the fibonacci sequence . From the tip of our nose spiraling outward to meet, perfectly with our lips, eyes and ears and even beyond our being. People who have downsyndrome. Their faces don't meet with the fibonacci sequence. For whatever reason, there are some things that may not add up regarding fibonacci. Maybe im wrong, but i am forever learning about this sequence, only because it IS everywhere I see. And i will be often learning as much as I humanly can until my body dies.
Lex: "It's a belly-scratch on the core of my humanity". --awesome.
Like, how is that so perfect??
Underrated Tool comment!
Normally it's Lex causing the smiles; but when this kicked off, and Brad's face lit up, that was awesome. Yall are an awesome team! And it makes we old ass metalheads remember why we love the music!
Cause Brad has some "food" to digest finally
I suppose at 39 I count as old ass, too. Lol. And yeah, it's fantastic seeing new metalheads being born. Whether it's the newer or the older stuff, it's pretty awesome.
His face said it all
fortunately I always remember why I love the music... but i get what you're saying Spiral Out
Lex is too cute, it’s like we’re watching her third eye open.
needs a little DMT
@@NathanCline12-21 ...ya never know what someone may have done before you ever seen them.
I know! I absolutely love her reactions to Tool and Korn
prying open my third eye. prying open my third eye. prying open my third eye!
Just a tad condescending.
I enjoy Brad's analysis on all music. Actually I like both of your takes on music. Lex usually just vibes to metal but Tool absolutely lends itself to more analysis. Just be yourselves, that is why we watch.
It's interesting to see how Brad is initially trying to connect intellectually, with the lyrics--the way he's reading everything and not even wearing his headphones over his ears (because he's more focused on reading and thinking), while Lex is fully int he grove. Oddly, they'll both arrive at the same conclusions.
Lex and Brad, you are officially inducted into the Tool army.
So much more to discover and discuss.
It's about constantly willing to learn and improve by experience. Spiral out!
Tool has long intros but the drop into that grinding guitar is absolutely legendary
Every. Damn. Time.
It tickles my nose hairs and makes my eyes nearly water, I shit you not
When Lex rocks out, it automatically makes me smile. Not a ton of black girls are into heavy rock, so it makes it extra cool to me.
I love the ying and yang chemistry between you two. Lex just can't help but feel the music so much more deeply but she's got Brad there to help keep her grounded and bring out the intellectual dialogue. Both the connectedness to the music that Lex seems to feel, and the dialogue that Brad brings about, are what makes this channel so great!
Some people are predisposed to certain things.
She already loved TOOL way before she had ever heard of them or heard from them.
She dove right into the core of the spiral. Yeah, she was a tool fan before she knew.
TOOL - RIGHT IN TWO PleasepleaseIthanksyouILoveyoubye😘✌️
I would suggest doing "intension" along with "right in two" since they seem to flow together.
I keep saying this too! With lyrics !
“Right in two” going to blow their minds out the room
Yup what they all said. Count me in for Right in Two
Yes!! Right in Two and The Patient are my two favorite Tool songs.
I swear i heard the album Lateralus in 2001 and
since then this is the most perfect album for me! Nothing reaches this level!
Same mate. Awe inspiring. Sometimes its hard to pick a fave film, fave fruit, fave food etc etc. But lateralus is easily my fave album.
Ditto. But in general, Tool has ruined all other music for me. I am enamored with music but no one..NO ONE can ever touch Tool.......
@@RosettaStoned462 yeah i get that.
I fucking second that.
"It's WOW, and I like it!"
Yep. Tool in a nutshell. 🤘
Brad who cares what people say about your first analysis. Don't be afraid to open up a bit. I enjoy that you are the critical thinker. You're both the dynamic duo. You the counter balance to lex. Think about it feed the moment to feel the spiral. Feel the moment.
It’s like how you eat an avocado and it becomes a human, it doesn’t stay an avocado = EMBRACING THE RANDOM 🥑🙌🏽…🍭
Best comment here ☝️ I thought the same thing... I was like, "Man, she just put an exclamation point on that line with that comment!" Lol 😆
I was in the kitchen listening to this. And after she said that I was like oh no did I just put the baby in the fridge, okay half of the stories true PS The fridge is actually out in the garage. I think she hit the nail on the head on the second part of the song it could be a representation of an inner body experience wanting to get out kind of like an avocado in a fridge wanting out oh, speaking of avocados why did I just put a diaper on one. I really need to stop analyzing you guys analyzing Tool songs. Did I just eat an avocado out of a diaper and not put salt on it first? Where is my head I swear if it wasn't attached to my shoulders it would be in the fridge with the baby right now
I think she was referring to the fact that the avocado literally becomes a part of you after you eat it ... it doesn’t stay an avocado at all it becomes nutrients and absorbs into your body - becoming apart of you, meaning it’s not an avocado anymore it’s you and the avocado can no longer be considered an avocado.
Because its chemical makeup has completely differentiated from that of its original form.
"Scratching the belly of the core of humanity" THAT!!!! Absolutely brilliant! and spot on!
they're so cute together. one possessed to a blank slate the other possessed to musical harmony. it's beautiful
Lateralus has a trance feeling to it....Amazing album and song
Lex you have a personality that makes anyone around you to smile.
Brad you got your soulmate,Love watching you 2 rock out to music I loved in my teens and early 20s and still to this day,Rock on kids.
Keep thinking Brad! You have had some really great insights. I appreciate the dynamic you too have. Awesome stuff!
Every once in a while we all need a new reason to smile. Lex's reaction to metal is mine now.
I was in the live with y'all. Just had to come back and help the algorithm!
Lex needs a mosh pit Brad! 🤣 Love you guys❤
Another great reaction guys 👍❤️🤘
Brad - some people will always find something to cry about. I like that you both interpret these songs in different ways and from individual perspectives. Please enjoy this music the way you want to and ignore people complaining about trivial shit.
You guys have an audience that you built up by yourselves for a reason - by being the chill people you are. 👍❤️🤘
I think you are referencing my comment from the last TOOL video about you thinking too much, rather than listening. TOOL makes you think, that is ok. But remember to sit back and enjoy the actual music itself too. You are definitely expected to analyze the music and lyrics, but be mindful of the art as a whole! Nice react, y'all!
Well said. Don't let analysis of the lyrics get in the way of a good time!
Let it wash over you sonically. Tool is amazing!
Y'all needing a bigger couch. Lex be getting dangerous. 😂
More 'Tool' to check out:
Ticks & Leaches
Reflection
Stinkfist 🤘🤘🤘
Might I add Right in Two, Pushit, blue Patient, Aenema.
Sober
Schism
Please don't do "Reflection" on its own, if you do it - it must be disposition-reflection-triad in the same continues video, its all 1 song it was just cut for tracks for the album, should be experienced back to back, and considered by many fans to be a "holy trinity".
@@ktopaz they already did!
You two are amazing. I love the visceral reaction you're having to my favorite band's music! It's always interesting to me hearing different opinions of their music. I've been listening for over 30 years and you are just going to love them more and more and more :)
I really have too many song recs for them (you've done many of them already). Keep going and exploring the magic of the lyrics and the music. There are no bad Tool songs, so just dive in and enjoy!
Agreed. I want them to do: A Perfect Circle - "Three Libras"
Wooo! I've been waiting for you to react to this song! Its one of my favorites by them 😊 I'm glad you liked it. B&L are the best 💜
Congrats, you've now reacted to the greatest song ever 🌀🌀🌀
One of Maynard's most beautiful, emotional lines "I embrace my desire to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow..." I have always thought it was beautifully expressive in its simplicity. I lost my boyfriend of 7 years almost 2 years ago. I understand the emotion behind his words in SUCH a way now...there is a reason he chose to use the expression "weep like a widow". The intensity of losing your life partner, your other half is humbling, all consuming. Full of profound love and acceptance yet...i just can't explain it. Sometimes the intensity is so much that all you can do is step aside and weep. It is bewildering. It is a POWERFUL emotion and the fact that Maynard references it so succinctly while never having experienced it, not even experiencing the loss of his mother yet speaks VOLUMES about his grasp on understanding the human condition and the bigger spiritual picture. I imagine that to truly understand and swing on the spiral would be an overwhelming emotional overload. Again...can't explain it. But I get it.
Bro, Brad, you must give your input! It makes for a more 'in depth' reaction. Even if some people say your off base. It's mostly about interpretation. Especially if your listening to it for the first time. All of Tool's songs make you feel different in every way. You can't go wrong with any of Tool's songs. You have to experience Tool from early on, to truly see their metamorphosis. But next? I would go with one off of their latest album, for us fans of your channel. I would suggest the title song, Fear Inoculum. It's weird, it's like they almost predicted the future with this song.
This track always gives me ‘try to forget your insecurities, don’t let your anxieties hold you back in life’ vibes
Brad....I appreciate you analyzing the music. The music itself speaks one story, but the words speak another. You gotta dig in to the words to hear the other side of it...so keep on doing you man. It's refreshing to see someone interested in the message.
My new favorite Channel you have the perfect mixture of ... your woman she is just feeling it rocking out and especially on the tool reactions you can almost see him thinking about the lyrics the whole time I really enjoy both of you reactions keep it up and have a safe 2021 and let's gooooooo!!
I absolutely love watching your reactions to Tool. You guys dive deep into what the meaning is. 🖤🤘
You guys are sooo adorbs...her hair reminds me of one of my fave female rappers from the 90s..lady of rage..I rock ruff n stuff, with my afro puffs..hey! Rock on wit yo bad self....
There’s another RUclips video that shows how the instrumental and lyrics tie into the Fibonacci sequence. When I saw this, it made me realize how genius Tool really was. This song is something you don’t just listen to, it’s something you experience.
Cool reaction! Really respect your honest and energetic appreciation of an amazing song!
Dude I like your explanation of your point of view. Screw the haters. The more you have the better you are doing. Love your guys channel
The song is about pushing art forward, following the spiral of the Fibonacci sequence that you can observe in nature as well as art. The goal is to push the envelope, become, create, experience or persue, something that could be defined as divine despite human limitations all while staying in the moment.
Just go with the flow of the universe dont go against it
It's interesting to me that you perceive it that way. I must respectfully say that I have a different interpretation, but that is the beauty of art. Everyone has entirely different feelings and ideas from the same piece of art or music. I always thought Lateralus was about roast beef sandwiches with mayonnaise and spicy mustard. Lightly toasted bread. "I feel it move across my skin" is obviously about slathering mayonnaise all over your body and relishing in the moment
@@ext93 I disagree! Ya could almost! say every artist has a meaning and feeling behind everything they do wether it's an opinion they're trying to put forward or if it's only something that got them through a certain time in they're life and dicided to share it!
Alright I challenge ya to find an artist say look I don't what it means I just made it ,it has no real meaning? I'm not saying they're not out there but I'd be curious to hear one! I'll look also!
@@ext93 but if you have a coupon and go to Arby’s for a 2 for $5 beef and cheddar art evolves entirely differently and brings in feelings that only Arby’s sauce and horsey sauce joined together in a spiraled unity will bring out the divinity that is in a roast beef sandwich…it’s ultimate expression. Napkins definitely required.
@@travislee9662 I must experiment further, I see
14:34 Here's my tack on being the bigger person: It's usually their own problem and largely because they're stuck in some layer of ego which is projecting their mirror onto you. That's trauma and programming, so you gotta kinda feel sorry for them while at the same time either choosing to not give a crap about the negative energy coming at you, or sending it some love and walking away. That low vibe smack will flop to the ground and the person still has to deal with it the way they're meant to: on their own or by asking for a hand, because the only real way to heal is face to face with yourself, and honestly.
Just stumbled onto your channel today, and you are both ridiculously entertaining to watch and I love how you discuss the deeper meanings behind these songs. There's always a story there beneath all the energy, and I love watching you guys dig to find it. Also, Lex is adorable. Hang onto her, bro.
man y'all nailed it. Not to mention your beautiful smiles. Thank you.
In 6 months we gonna see brad wrapped in bubble wrap for all metal/rocks reactions lol
that whole "sticky" section is supposed to feel like a spiral. like things are spinning around your head.
I love the lyrics in this song. It makes you feel like you can do WHATEVER you want, as long as you don't overthink things that will cause you to quit. AND YOU JUST KEEP GOING!!
We frickin love you two! Keep exploring❤️🤘
You two should do "ticks and leeches" by tool, Lex will love the drums!!
I love how lex is feeling Tool and the lyrics of Reverend Maynard . lol.
Welcome to the Tool Army! 😀 Lex is definitely a Tool fan!! Love watching you jam out and fully enjoying the whole experience of Tool. I've been listening to Tool for years and I still to this day get the same vibes. LOL It never goes away.
This is my favorite song ever. It's such an epic journey. It's a blast watching you two enjoying the experience. ❤
Lex trying to sing like Maynard is hilarious!
She is the best.
This song is built around the feminichi sequence . Lex has it
Quote: "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.
Saying the random to embrace opportunity.
If Fibonacci was all about women's rights. Feminichi xD
@@JoeBlow_4 🤣
You are a lucky man to find someone so curious for exploration of the human experience and such a beautiful soul inside and out. You guys are a great team and analyze different aspects of each tool song to give a full and clear description. Keep up the good work.
I wish I could sub again. I love how 2 somewhat different personalities help me to see this music in different ways. You guys are diggin' deep and not just taking a superficial take with your reactions. Great job. Cheers.
This made my day. Thank you. The metalhead transformation continues. Tool is a different level though so try not to over analyze them and take it in doses.
Some Maynard lyrics from the song Disgustipated: This is necessary, life feeds on life feeds on life...
These are the cries of the carrots, the cries of the carrots!
You see, Reverend Maynard
Tomorrow is harvest day and to them it is the holocaust
@@chuckwilliams6261 Damn you! Let the rabbits wear glasses! Save our brothers!
Can I get an amen? Can I get a hallelujah? Thank you Jesus
Y'all are fantastic...just found your channel tonight and I'm on a binge now.
Again Lex you beautiful babe, you're SSSSOOOOOO getting the METAL SONGS!!!!!! I SO love seeing you smile and enjoy these like the musicians hoped the WHOLE way through, SO GREAT!!!
The black and white in my opinion is referring to the duality that is found in every thing. We can’t have good without bad etc. the black/white checkerboard or the black/white ying yang usually refer to the duality of this realm
Absolutely Brilliant
It's actually about the first Aboriginal paintings found in Australia. The black and white was the beginning and then red and yellow came to be from the dawning of the universe.
How Tool Used Math to Create "Lateralus" by Polyphnic ruclips.net/video/uOHkeH2VaE0/видео.html
You better be careful, man. I'm pretty sure all of RUclips fell for your girl at 4:08.
thank you, watching you analize TOOL makes me smile and feel good and Lex I love you´re passion
i love the dynamic between the 2 of you. very entertaining
Looking forwards to the eventual A Perfect Circle - Judith reaction
Same.. That song and video are masterpieces.
Remember the days when Maynard was shouting “not by the hair of my chinny chin chin” in “Three Little Pigs” by Green Jell-o
I do
Lol..I remember them having to change the name🤣
That’s Maynard? Why am I even surprised at this point
First CD I owned, traded a kid an old super Nintendo game for it if I remember correctly.
I remember and have been listening to Maynard ever since!!!!🤟🏽
I love you guys so much. Please keep making videos.
You guys are awsome 😍. I love that you guys are experiencing this. This was the album that takes me back to 18 years old.
Anema, third eye,schism ✌🤘
Take care of the body, but don't worry so much about separating the mind. The mind is what makes that meat suit worthwhile, feed it and work it out too
this was a fun one. "scratching the belly of the core of humanity"... I dig it. beauty and brains too. overwhelming. brad, you're a cutie too.
LoL, Lex totally vibing while Brad is in fully analyzing is what makes this song an amazing watch. Tool for the win.
Love this song! Try out some Alice in Chains when you get a chance
I wish I knew why everyone overanalyzes the lyrics to this song. The it's pretty straight forward. It's a journey through life. It starts out in infancy. "Black then white are all I see". Infants don't see in color right away. Then "reds and yellows came to be, let's me see". Infinite possibilities come next cause you haven't lived yet. Then he transitions into living in the moment and appreciating life. Then moving into not being afraid of what comes next after we die. This whole album has heavy undercurrents of spirituality. Ride the spiral to the end, you may just go where no one's been. So we don't really know what lies beyond but there's this feeling that life doesn't end in death.
Tool has expanded my horizons intellectually probably more than any other artist.
Y'all are so perceptive in totally different ways, perfect for this music
yo i know you kids did this like 2 years ago, but lex is a rock head! And I LOVE seeing her get all amped!. You both are the best. I love you. keep doing what youre doing
Tool has been one of my fav bands since the early 90's. Really sick seeing you two react and share your thoughts. Both of your reactions definitely put a smile on my face.
Don’t change a thing Brad! I love the way both of you guys break down the Tool songs! That’s what’s so great about Tool is everyone can interpret the songs in different ways.
Check out Aenima next! It’s a little bit more angrier of a song.
Probably not going to find a lyric video to most of their songs. Might just have to look up the lyrics separately
Damn Lex your energy just brings me up, awesome.
I like Lex’s interpretation. i’ve listen to this song for 20 years and every time i hear it i love it more and find something new.
That was great! Really enjoyed it. Hope you’ll do Jambi next. That might be my favorite tool song. 👍
Brad is the head, Lex is the heart - and you need both to be whole. You two - don't try to be anything but you because you guys are awesome!
Lex gets Tool soooo much. Keep on rocking girl ❤️
i love that you guys do this together. no matter what y'all think.
You’re so right about the sticky. I’ve listened to this track a hundred times and this description is perfect
You guys are awesome this is my favorite tool song and I feel she nailed it
100% vested in watching you guys falling down this rabbit hole. Waiting for the next video...
I usually don't subscribe to reaction videos but I did with you two. Keep it up, open your minds and share honest reactions. Love it
Love your videos, good vibes
Brad is like my logic trying to embrace creativity, while lex is my creativity making sense of the world. I dig you guys.
I love how much Lex digs the heavy riffs! 😁😁🤟🤟❤❤
Brand-new subscriber here 😁🤗... really appreciating yr musical variety & intelligent stream of consciousness commentary... y'all compliment each other well, looking forward to more! Peace & Magick to you both! 🤗
I love you guys and your tendency to really read between the lines and personally evolve. We are all walking each other home.
Also, its the syllables of the lines of the lyrics (and the actual time signatures of the music itself also) that is in the Fibonacci Sequence = Black (1) and (1) white are (2) all I see (3) in my infancy (5) red and yellow then came to be (8)... and so on. Graphing the numbers (drawing out this sequence) creates a spiral. And the song is about spiraling out. So, pretty cool.
Love your Tool reactions! Brad, don't sweat it, the Tool Army still loves you. Lex, spiral out baby, spiral out...
I love Brad is going deep with the lyrics and laughs at Lexs interpretation at times but really she just wants to jam out 😄
TOOL!!!!!!
Greatest Rock Band In History!
Love the Reactions
Made My Day!
