Tool 'Lateralus' One Year Later (reaction episode 241)

#react #lateralus #tool #OneYearLater #video1of2

In this video I react to Lateralus by Tool about a year after originally reacting to it. I have avoided it because it was so emotionally triggering for me. But now that I think I understand why it made me cry, I'm interested to see what reacting to it will be like once more.

Hi, I'm Dean Wolfe, a classic prog-rock guitar teacher on YouTube. I grew up on 70s progressive music but abandoned the genre by the 90s because it was too 'hard-edged' for me. My all-originals prog band was rejected by record labels as "too progressive' in the late 80s, so i went into grunge, pop and alternative instead (then folk and acoustic fingerstyle guitar).
2020 was the year of my return to prog and the discovery of 30 years of great music which I'd paid no attention to- until now!
I also will react to 70s and 80s prog that i overlooked, like gentle giant, camel, etc.

When you sit and absorb the lyrics and meaning of this song, it can be life altering.

Your original reaction was the first of your videos that I watched. I get chills every time I hear this. Before I worked at home, in my workspace I had a sign that said “Spiral out. Keep going”

[ingobordewick]

Doesn't feel like a year... maybe we are gettin' old. Time is running faster every year.

I like how you showed the prior one, you are letting yourself in more this time, proof that the same song can hit you differentlly

[alexevertsen]

With my feet upon the ground I lose myself between the sound..Spiral Out Keep Going"

[emjem]

I get it. For me it was/is The Whirlwind.

[MaynardsSpaceship]

Not since last March?! How? Patience of a...Tool fan.

[pascalg]

Wee need more opeth, we are like starving dogs.

[justsomejusstsome]

Maybe you should get into Progressive Pop! Great stuff right there too

It’s actually pronounced lat-er-AL-us but whatever
