How do they come up with this?! First listen to 'The Grudge' by Tool

I was an instant fan after hearing Tool for the first time. They incorporate so many unique sounds and styles into every song, and this one is no exception. Today I'm listening to "The Grudge" for the first time.

There's nothing I love more on the internet than watching people listen to Tool

[PortaPooper]

People- "Hey Danny, what time signature are you playing in?"
Danny- "Yes."

I am a 78 year old guy in UK who discovered Tool only yesterday when I heard a cover of Lateralus. I then had to hear the original. What phenomenal talented musicians. Rock at its best. Where have I been for the past 30 years?

“I think I could start listening to a Tool song everyday…”

You will remain in awe everytime.

It has been 24 years for me. And I listen to them regularly.

Lateralus is my favorite album. The start of Parobol feeding into parabola right into lateralus. And end it with the hypnotism of reflection. Beautiful artwork.

And the big scream isn't looped or edited or anything. I saw him do it live. The man is beyond human.

The reason why Maynard's voice melody and lyrics sound so perfectly ensconced within TOOL's music, is because Maynard writes his parts specifically off of his personal impressions of the finished composition. This and his lower volume level makes him another instrument in the band, instead of being just a lead singer who noticeably sits on top of the music. Maynard doesn't want to draw too much attention to himself; he knows that he is just one member of this four piece band and has profound respect for what his bandmates are capable of. I think also, because Maynard writes this way, it alows for his true emotions to come through in his voice.

I could watch you review a Tool song every day for the rest of your life lol. I am not a fan of reaction type videos but I cannot resist it when you cover Tool. Please check out 46&2 which is my favorite Tool song. Do not forget he sings in another band called A Perfect Circle which will equally amaze you. Have a great day and thank you for your awesome content.

This song is extremely spiritual. It stresses how a grudge will cycle back through your life and present differently until you let it go. Sometimes people don't and wonder why negative energy revolves through their life, like a bad cycle. It drags you down, or it will lift you up if you just let it go.

[Dcoy-umhl]

The scream is the vocal manifestation of someone finally putting down the burden of a deep grudge and letting go. Welcome to Tool. My brother turned me on when I was a pre-teen and just so happened in January this year he and I got to see them live. Amazing group

[fubar]

One of my favorite things to watch is Danny Carey's drum cam of him playing the ending to this song. Dude is a BEAST.

[dellywelly]

If you enjoy Maynard’s voice, I would HIGHLY recommend Passenger - Deftones. His vocals are phenomenal in that song.

What you say at the end about listening everyday and not get everything going on almost 30 years listening, and I still find new connections, and hear it in new ways to this day. No kidding...It is so incredibly dense with brilliance on all levels.

[jessemcdonald]

Ive heard many ppl say many different things about Tool but buttery warm is new. I love when Tool fans are born

[briancarroll]

The smile that crept onto your face as the scream persisted is the gold

[ashmostro]

You have officially joined the TOOL ARMY. This is the song. I love your reactions, and seeing you react to my favorite band since I was 14 is a treat like no other. Please continue, and continue to be my envy for being able to experience TOOL for the first time. And I agree with the poster below, please do Reflection soon.

[thekhronohs]

I know what you mean. I’m going on 20+ years now, and that long scream where ‘he lets go’ of the grudge, still gives me goosebumps. And they get better and better the more I hear it! ❤🔥

[mentalhaze]

One of my favorite songs from Tool. Such an amazing band and Maynard is almost comical with how good he is.
Also, you are very captivating as a creator and person. Your positive attitude and overall projection of good vibes is intoxicating.

[RickKurtovic]

I absolutely love watching you listen to Tool songs for the first time.

[amycraft]

I just went to my first Tool concert ever and it was the best musical experience I’ve ever had. And I do mean experience. You should absolutely go to a concert! You would love it!
