To anyone trying to figure where the ‘Island’ was in Tottenham Court Road, I actually remembered the location wrong it was in Ilford east London!
When you said "I'm sure they'll know what that song is" @9:40 when telling the story about that place, I think you're talking about Jambi off of 10,000 Days. And you absolutely nailed the beat, it starts at 4:00.
@@SpicyTrifongo I think he's talking about Stinkfist
When it comes to choosing a Tool song, the only answer is yes.
YES Absolutely 😎🤘
Exactly👌🏼
Yes
Great point
Yes.
Even Maynard hates Tool fans so don't stress it.
Maynard is the only person on the planet that can openly hate all his fans and they don’t care.
@@NuclearWinter69 To be fair the Tool Army can be pretty insufferable. I am a huge fan of tool but I do not participate in the fandom.
Mostly insufferable people
I am a huge Tool fan. I understand where you're coming from with Tool fans. We can be insufferable at times. Keep being honest with your reactions. Love the channel fellas!
All the time.* ---Literally like 99% of the time.
Absolutely. Over on Reddit it's filled with them. You get many people who swear they understand Tool and go around pointing fingers, judging, being cunts, etc. They clearly don't get it and haven't stopped to read the lyrics and think for themselves.
It's ok. Everyone takes their own time to grow and learn but Tool fans are definitely hit or miss. But in my experience irl, never met a fan I didn't enjoy speaking to and who wasn't polite and honest.
Huge Tool fan but my god these fans... Love what you love and let others experience things on their own!
It took me several years of relistens to love Tool the way i do today!
Big love, love the reactions!
Music is meant to be what speaks to YOUR soul. Bullying is not tolerated. I have been a TOOL fan since '93 and I'm STILL discovering new elements...after thousands of listens. My ears, mind, heart and soul are open to any music...but if it doesn't resonate, then it doesn't resonate.
Tool is an automatic given as a great band with the vast majority of open and honest first time listeners.
This is often acknowledged by even those who are devout to a genre of music with a very distant theoretical juxtaposition.. though it may not align with the headspace they’re aspiring towards personally.
It’s a shame when it’s the case that some who love can be relentless and overbearing in their zeal, to where there’s a negative stigma attached to a band who can firmly stand on their own merits, and the hype really just detracts from the initial experience.
I can tell you didn't enjoy this one *as much* as The Pot or Lateralus, but I almost spit out my tea when you said Tool fans can be a bit pretentious. You wouldn't be the first person to tell Tool fans that we are being well...tools. Sometimes we deserve it and I hope the bad apple doesn't spoil the bunch. I just found you guys this week and I love your personalities so much I ran to watch this.
I hope we don't scare you off too much. I like your honest reactions. Don't ever change.
Hell, Maynard wrote a song about it.
Yeah Tool fans are pretty rabid, some more than others lol.
Worst thing about Tool is usually Tool fans. Christ, the whole Taylor Swift bullshit was insufferable, moreso because of the 'bad winner' 'crowing' of 30 year old dude's being worse than 13 year old girls... Never have I seen a group of people so utterly miss the point of what the band they were jabbering over was about.
@@matthewgodding777 i had to Google it because i live in a cave. I remember hearing about Tool take the billboards and laughing about how I'm so old now that teenagers have never heard of Tool, but i genuinely didn't know that people still pay attention to the billboards or personally care so much to get into keyboard slapfights over it.
Its too bad. Could have been used to introduce a bunch of youngins to something very different.
@@MrsS3lfDestruct it was pretty pathetic.
What's the rent like on a cave these days? Between the possibility of winter hypothermia based death and complete divorce from modern society, it's looking like an attractive option if the price were right.
P.S.- Being a Tool fan, I'm here for whatever your reactions are to whatever song, I'll keep showing up.
You’re thinking of Stinkfist….another banger
Came here to say that lol.
Not going to brag about how good Tool was when I saw them on Sunday. But let’s just say I got a 108$ parking ticket while at the show and wasn’t mad about it when I got back to my truck.
From an Ó Murchú, going to see them for the first time in Dublin in May, can't wait, only hearing outstanding reviews about them
@@joemurphy2738 it was my first time after listening for 25 years. Well worth the ticket and the wait. Unbelievable show, you’re going to be stoked.
Set list for anyone interested:
Fear Inoculum
Sober
The Pot
Pushit
Pneuma
The Grudge
Right in Two
Descending
Hooker With a Penis
Intermission
Chocolate Chip Trip
Culling Voices
Invincible
@@MacAnAirchinnighJM
That sounds mouthwatering, play list could be twice as long and you'd still be missing out on some big ones, cheers
JB your reactions are great because they're honest. Don't let the bad lot of Tool fans get to you. They are pretentious, but that's their problem not yours. Really hope you guys are able to make it to the show, you won't regret it.
Agree. Also, don’t forget fan is short for fanatic. And sometimes Tool fans are just so excited to talk Tool that they unintentionally come off as pretentious dicks. And some are actual dicks.
@@jzeke1712 most of the time, people talk about obnoxious tool fans, i cant see the fans they talk about. Instead 90% of the comments is just "yeah tool fans are shit". I dont know man, id agree... but i think 1 obnoxious tool fans gets attention as if he was 10 obnoxious tool fans. Also alot of times i find people interpreting something as negative, wich isnt even meant in a negative way.
I mean, the people claiming what the "true and correct way of "experiencing" tool" is, are real and annoying - but its always our choice how much attention they get and if you ask me, theres more people talking about other fans being annyoing, then actual annoying fans.
Great song. Musically less complex than The Grudge though. But, yeah, Tool fans can definitely be TOO MUCH.
Intense
Ignore the lyric freaks. Enjoy the damn song first and foremost and then go back to the lyrics after if you dig the song
Yes! Agreed, 100% Been listening and enjoying Tool since the start, and the lyrics come second to the music.
Definitely. Music first. Even Maynard agrees.
As a musician it was harder to learn The Grudge vs 46&2. But in all fairness, this was the song that got Justin Chancellor the job with TooL!!
This is a song you introduce TooL to people. It’s palatable and easy on the ears
Absolutely love your reactions. As a die-hard Tool fan, it is frustrating to constantly see and hear of other fans giving us a bad rep or a bad name. As with life in general, some people just gravitate towards the negative side of everything, looking for problems and differences instead of brotherhood and connection. 'Keyboard Warriors' taking shots at everyone from behind the safety of their screens. If you're able to drown out voices, I believe you'll find Tool Army to be a collection of pretty cool, chill people with a profound appreciation for the artistry, insightfulness, and unique presentation of Tool. We are amped up to share it with you and hear your perspectives!
A group of kids from the O'Keefe music Foundation do a fantastic cover of this song, along with covers of many hard rock tunes. React to that as a juxtaposition to this original version!
Yes!!!
I was just going to type that. It would be cool to see your reaction to that.
The tool song you mentioned is Stinkfist, that probably got the most airplay from the album. Aenema has to be the best song from the album though.
9:50 the song is Stinkfist.
I love the realness you guys have in your videos. Keep it up guys!
Came here to say this. Definitely Stinkfist.
Same. Stinkfist 100%
100 percent its a song about something needing to change an undeniable dilemma if you will
@@timfarrow1545 boredom is not a burden anyone should bare after all
@@Juli-zg7sj that is indeed true. But i always find its not enough....nothing does indeed seem to safisfy
I’m glad you are enjoying tool, just keep it honest mate. Like you always do, don’t hold back and just let go. Comments or your initial reaction. We thrive on that. It’s what we look for. Especially you guys being musicians. Love the channel, keep the reactions coming. Peace and love
Hear Hear
"Starting off empty", Progressive rock my man. Tool will build up their songs to blow your head off.
Really like listening to all the reactions.
Thank you for keeping it real!! That’s why I keep coming back to your videos and I will keep coming back. I’m a big Tool fan so don’t worry about the haters or noise
As a 20+yr member of the Tool Army, you're fuckin spot on with EVERYTHING you said my man. As for your headphones, I was envious of the stereo field that they offered you. I'm also an engineer, and I smiled so big when you were pointing out the panning of Danny's toms in the mix. I love when people that really understand what's going on behind the scenes and mics gets into Tool. Keep up your great reactions, and anybody that wants to give ya'll shit can fuck right off. 😊
Also I subscribed! Keep up the good work and remember to enjoy the ride!!!
I love the way you describe the drums as "singing"! Absolutely perfect description!
Another great Tool reaction video. Well done lads. Love watching people experience the wonder that is Tool. Hey guys, feel free to react to any of the following please: Parabol/Parabola, Right in Two, Jambi...........
7:38... JB. bro. This is why I love the reactions. The genuine "a-ha" moments of joy when something hits just right
I think you both would enjoy seeing some of their performances that are floating around on RUclips. They're super impressive feom.a performance standpoint as well. Everything. Everyone. Their entire crew are creme de la creme of the industry, so their live show is absolutely bonkers from an audio/visual standpoint.
Much love from North Carolina gentlemen. Bless u0
Great vid. All Tool songs deserve a reaction video, so you can't go wrong with any of them. Cheers!
Going to subscribe. Third reaction by you guys and I like how you don't over talk the music. And when there is talk it's right on and no filler.
7:15 that moment when you as a drummer just have to sit back and think how the hell does he play that, it just sounds so good.
You are right I know a few people who have been turned off by "tool fans", which is ironic considering just how down to earth they all are.
In the early 2000's I heard through a flatmate that Danny was making an appearance at a local music store, I think every young drummer in the city was there, we were all little star-struck, but he was so chill and almost embarrassed to be in front of everybody. I could think of dozens of questions I wished I'd asked, everybody seemed tongue-tied but he was very gracious and afterwards just walked off down the street.
Your face at 7:39 and the honesty you speak with at the end of the video are why people come here. Just remember the smallest part of any group can sometimes be the loudest. :D
Yep love the honesty and your obvious training and expertise. Thanks guys!
Y'all keep being real in your reactions! That's one of the things I love about this channel!
I appreciate that my bro, thank you
This is your channel. Don't be afraid to speak your mind. I enjoyed this reaction a lot. Can't wait for more.
Woooooooo!!!! Hell yeah Charlie, I'm with ya brother! Glad you made it back from 2018 btw 😎
yeah that song you thinking of from the club is Stinkfist =)
First time I’ve seen you just listen without stopping. Now you’re starting to get Tool :)))) It’s an experience.
I love watching you guys react to good music, you each pick up on different things and it's so interesting to watch the two of you discuss the things that catch you. If I could throw a suggestion in for musical selection: The Psychedelic Porn Crumpets. I've been trying to get channels to react to them for a hot minute, but they always get ignored. I feel like it's because their name might give the impression that they aren't a serious band, but they most assuredly are, and seriously talented at that. Their work is masterfully written and performed, and the engineering behind it is some of the best and most unique I've ever heard. Specifically the song "Found God in a Tomato" is a great one to hook new listeners, "Cornflake" has one of the most unusual but addicting set of riffs out there, and one of my personal favorites lyrically is "...And the Addled Abstraction of Being", though all of their lyrics are profound in their own right. Hope you guys give them a shot, even if it's own your own time, I doubt you'll be disappointed. Either way, keep at what you're doing, well wishes to you both!
hahaha totally agree mate, been trying to get Geebz to react to them for aaawhile! also "and the addled abstraction of being" is also a great start for reacters!!
🤔The psychedelic Porn Crumpets yeah? Ok i'll try put it on the list
Love the content, keep going guys
I stop to see you guys react to Tool! Tool has a rabid fan base, please don’t let that scare you away from some really great music! Can’t wait for the next Tool reaction from you guys!
Cheers from Michigan!
You guys are dope. Good video. Don't let trolls ruin your trip. Keep up the honest reacts. Tool is a shared spiritual experience for some.... Glad to have you along.
We love your honesty bro ...pretentious are those whom seldom journey away from self ..keep them coming thanks guys
I love your breakdowns, I would appreciate more of the tool reactions from musicians perspective.
I’m a massive fan, have been for more than 20 years. It’s very nice to hear constructive criticism from people who know what they’re talking about. Keep it up
Love the reactions, you guys are always so honest and friendly. Screw the pretentious TOOL fans !!
Going to my first Tool show next month, can’t wait to hear this live
Congratulations!!! I saw them last week, such an amazing show!!!!! Hope u have an amazing time!
Appreciate all your videos, you guys are cool cats.
I come back cause I like to hear your honesty, and I feel you with some of the Tool fans out there... I'd also live to see your reaction on something by Fear Factory, maybe "Shock" or "Obsolete" as a start.
"Pretty Girl Syndrome" is a great way of saying it, Yes i am a Tool fan, and at times, I, Myself, and others can really big them up soooo much, Not withstanding the obvious talent the band have, But i have hyped them up to friends before, and then felt the room feel flat on said song, I realised not to big them up as much... That being said "The Grudge" Is my fave Tool song! So cant wait for that guys! Keep up the good work!
New here. Loving the channel! Your music is great and your reactions are as well, love the vibe yall have goin.
The song Lost keys into the song Rosetta Stoned is a very fun Tool ride and we'd all love for you to join us on it. Just make sure you start with lost keys. Cheers!
Dude I got ya.... Sometimes the delivery of how someone introduces music (or anything) can impact the enthusiasm and give anticipation and sometimes false anticipation... Respect
You should also react to the O’Keeffe music factory covering the song. It’s a bunch of kids ranging from 8 to 17 playing the song it’s amazing
Thank you for your honesty guys and you're not alone, as Maynard understands his own fans can be Tools and makes fun of us on occasion :)
you gotta love what moves you. even my favorite artists released records i didn’t like. it’s all good. you guys are great
Thank you so much for your honesty. Don’t ever change, please. The tool army is known for being overwhelming at times but I believe that the intentions are always good. It’s like those people who are into a hobby and they would like to show you everything at once and want for you to feel everything that they feel. The truth is that Tool music is so personal and emotional and in my experience feels best when you are in the correct mood to listen to it. There are weeks, sometimes months when I just can’t do it. (and I started with Undertow)If I may, try to listen to the song again (maybe the O’Keefe music foundation cover too?) when you feel like it and share your thoughts with us again sometime. All the best and thanks for the video!
So i’m 3 weeks late o. Watching this. I know bad me. But I wanted to make sure I had no distractions so I could hear both of your reactions without issues.
The Grudge will get the wow back with the vocals of Maynard. But this song hits the beauty of Tool. But you know that hearing it.
You shouldn’t worry about us fans and our reactions about how your listening to Tool. Tool is a journey we all take our own way.
The fact that you liked it, both of you. That’s all that matters.
You both are still one of my favorites to watch
Keep reacting to Tool. Love your honety and if someone doesn't like your opinion, then they can always go to another channel! You guys are great att breaking down music! Keep.it up! Can't wait to see them live in New Orleans!
We’re here for your reaction. Some may love it and some may hate it. All that matters is your honest reaction so keep doing you man.
Accurate analysis of this song. I feel that the most complex components of this song aren't the arrangements, but rather the lyrics. Worth a deep dive into the lyrics and their meanings/interpretations
I subbed because i appreciate your honesty.
Screw the fan boys its not about them its about the music.
Do you man
Love your work guys. You come across as genuine dudes...great stuff. FYI TOOL all day...
I have found that there is a recipe to listening to a Tool song that’s new to you. One, listen to the song with zero distractions & no lyrics. Then listen again with the lyrics. And then listen a third time to experience the full journey!!! Keep the Tool reactions coming!!!
I love your guys reactions! Real and honest and come from true musicians! Also love your original stuff. Agreed about tool fans!! Im a tool fanboy but totally agree with you.
Not sure if it's been mentioned, but the song you were talking about playing in the clubs is definitely Stinkfist. Great reaction. Have really enjoyed your stuff so far, even if you disagree with me opinion. Keep it up!
"Forty six and two are just ahead of me" goosebumps
Your real and genuine. Nothing wrong with that. TOOL has been a part of my life for almost 25 years. They are worth it. Great video.
I was never a Tool fan until about 2010. My roommate in college got me to realize the truth. They are unbelievable and deserve their place by a long shot.
Hey, i stumbled upon your channel today. I love the insight you have about the tool songs. And you actually say what you think. I understand that tool isn't everybody's cup of Thea. But at the same time i think everyone could give it a good listen. My favorite tool songs are Wings for Marie part 1 and 2 from the 10.000 days album. Combined they are 18 minutes long. But i would love to see you guys react to it and hear what you truthfully think about it. ❤️
God bless you guys I like ur input. Don’t let other people affect you. God is always with you. Look up instead of all around u.
Ok. You are the realist critic I have witnessed. Thank you for being honest. Tool speaks to me in a basic tribal way. I love it everytime and all the time.
I'm just glad you're giving Tool a chance at all. As a tool fan I'm just happy when someone new is giving it a shot. LIKE IT OR HATE IT.
hey dude, enjoy some of the vids here. Huge Tool fan, the best is watching newbies pick up right away on a few things that makes this a special band and Live is even better usually. That said, a lot of fans are nuts. I think cause they feel under apricated and we have to wait so long between new stuff, so some analyze it to death like grade 11 English class and Shakespeare,.
Guess you have to read them, since it is a reaction video. But never let other opinions matter, just enjoy it or not. One thing I would suggest with this band, try doing a 2nd listen reaction to some song, I've been listening almost daily for 20 + years and still hear new things.
good job
Love you guys great choice of song thx
Lmfao. My man in that “Tool trance” 5 minutes in…love it!
That look at 8:52 says it all. My man been “Tooled!” That’s what’s happened when you have top 5 drummer of all time…
The lyrics of this song is what does it for me. When I first became a fan of Tool it was for the music. I like the drums and guitar, the heavy feeling of this band is what drew me in. They are great musicians.
A few years later I feel like I heard the song for the first time when I discovered what he was singing about. He's talking about uncovering the shadow side of his subconscious mind because he wants to experience a change in his life. I love the song because I've been exploring Jungian psychology which deals with the subject of our subconscious minds and learning about our shadow self... it's deep.
Cool, been waiting for more tool
Tool are absolute masters at their craft. Keep goin with your Tool journey. If I may make a suggestion give Meshuggah a try. The song clockworks, and do the drum play through cam.
Good review. Keep it going.
Hey, JB. I've seen it said that the only real way to experience the feel of listening to a song again for the first time is to watch someone else do it. Tool dragged me through some tough times so I can empathize with the screaming fan boys out there. Don't pay too much mind. I appreciate the honesty of your opinions on the music. Keep doing your thing, man, and l'll keep chasing the dragon watching you make discoveries.
My son plays this on bass and guitar 🎸. It's a favourite around my house! Thnx guys
I listed to Tool for years before actually listening to them. I had the songs in my head so when I actually delved into it with good headphones and lyrics, it was a great new experience. I don't know how exactly to explain it.
Keep reacting to tool man. Love the breakdowns from musicians. Ignore the hate. Got a subscription here.
That zoo York hoodie is taking me back. Good to see they’re still around. Skate or die
You guys are smart , giving the people what they want!
The song you are talking about at 9:51 is Stinkfist off of the Aenima album... definitely worth a reaction video for!
I've gotten a kick out of these videos. 46&2 is my favorite. I've been into Tool for like 20 years. So it's all so familiar that it's fun seeing people listening to it like it's new
I love the breakdown you guys bring to the reactions. I’d love to see you guys react to some Slipknot. All great musicians. Their old drummer Joey (rest in peace) and their new drummer are both amazing but different in their own right. Keep up the great work.
Good reaction. Keep the Tool songs coming
Great reaction! Truthfully, it needed to be said.
Great song, great band, and a great reaction guys.
The TOOL Army is definitely very real and we can be a bit... overwhelming. Honestly TOOL Army reminds me a lot of hardcore Rush fans (I'm one of them too) in that we have very strong opinions.
Great video and reaction guys! I love Tool, but it’s not everyone’s favorite flavor for sure. Here are some suggestions you may want to check out-
Volbeat- Temple of Ekur
Avatar- Hail the Apocalypse
Gojira- Stranded
Slipknot- Custer
Keep making videos, I’ll keep watching!
Tool are such a once in a lifetime discovery that it is not worth bothering too much about hardcore entitled fans who don't get you. You can be sure you have a big support from the rest of us, and I'm certain we are the vast majority. I really cannot wait for future Tool uploads. Bad apples always stick out from the crowd when you're a good person.
TOOL is hands down my favorite band. Once you see them play live your life is changed forever. It honestly makes it hard to go see other bands because the bar is set so high. I would like to see you do a song by Knocked Loose called Where the light divides the holler. Enjoy!
Hi guys, been a minute since I commented; I want to tell you that the people who are here watching, are interested in your thoughts and opinions. You don't need to be effusive in your praise, especially with TOOL. We are curious to see the songs through your eyes as a first experience - to something we have heard a million times. They still resonate with us, 15, 20 years later. And in all honesty, their songs are sometimes so complex that they take many listens to catch everything. They will keep growing on you as you re-listen.
Please try to tune out the noise (snobs) and just give us your unedited thoughts. This channel is here for your fans, yes, but it is also here because you both have something to say. Find that quiet space in your mind and let the band do what they do best - Taking You On A JOURNEY, through a song. Just bring us along for the ride 😉
there are a million tool reaction videos where they gush all over every note they play. keep being honest, that is what makes you guys special
Dude is a drummer. Ticks & Leeches is a must listen.
I would still take a shot at The Grudge. Love for you to hit up some Mastodon. Love the fills from Brann. Also, there’s a RUclips channel called OKeefe Music Foundation where children do their take on bands songs. Love to hear your take on these kids
Pay the pretentious no mind. I’m diehard for 30 years. Most of us are absolutely not like that. Drown out the excitement of others and please continue to just listen and appreciate them. Love the reactions of you two.
Tool is a band that you have to listen to multiple times. Every time you listen to then you hear and love then a bit more
Love the genuine reactions guys, Fibonacci is what causes the goosebumps also...
Would LOVE to see both of you react to Cote by Karnivool. Has some similarities to Tool but I think it has a lot of epic moments that both JB and Charlie would really really dig. Crazy musicianship with elements of modern nu metal. They also have a dedicated fan base that would love to see them get any attention
Epic opener to their first full length album
I have a deep emotional connection to that album 🥲
The song that he was talking about and trying to vocalize is Stinkfist. One of my favorites from them.
