RAP FAN REACTS TO: TOOL - The Pot (Reaction)

Tool is an American rock band from Los Angeles. Formed in 1990, the group's line-up includes vocalist Maynard James Keenan, guitarist Adam Jones and drummer Danny Carey. Justin Chancellor has been the band's bassist since 1995, replacing its original bassist Paul D'Amour.

"The worst thing about hearing TOOL for the first time is you can never hear TOOL for the first time ever again." Welcome to the deepest rabbit-hole you've ever fallen into.

Post it, and the Tool Army will show up. Welcome!

Pretty spot on analysis. The song is about a friend of Tool who was prosecuted and convicted for weed, only for it to come to light that the judge who made the ruling was caught with a prostitute and crack cocaine. Hence "the pot calling the kettle black".

The Pot is a funk masterpiece wrapped in a tailored metal suit. And the four members of Tool are absolute masters of their respective instruments.

"The Pot" is one of their most 'radio-friendly' songs. They can go really heavy. They can go tribal. A lot of their songs carry soar and sludge through spirituality. Once you dive in your next Tool song is your favorite Tool song. Make yours "46 & 2." Enjoy!

Tool is in a league of their own. Thanks

This guy just changed his musical future!! 🤘🏼

Tool Army Unite!! Hope you enjoy your new favourite band! 🌀🌀🌀

Dude, I told ya!!!

"Vicarious" would be another great Tool song to jump into. It's from the same album and also is a high-energy track with some very thought-provoking lyrics. I have a feeling you're really going to love your Tool journey. There's nobody else like them!

Hell yeah, this made my day. Tool is a genre of their own. Don't be surprised if each track hits completely different or if you don't like one. There will be more you like they have to huge catalog.

Enjoy the journey of TOOL, you can not get off!!!

By “High” I think means it as conceited or “High and mighty“. Sitting on your high horse.

Excellent. Been a TOOL fan since their 1st album. 30 years, and I still choose to listen to them over others VERY regularly. And, I agree with other comments, TOOL “IS” a genre - not OF a genre. 🌀out!!!!

Keep the Tool coming, no Narnia references and amazing music every time!

Gosh this song filled my brain with loads of memories. Driving around with Tool blaring out my windows. Aenema is an absolute brilliant track Fil. Have a listen. Be prepared for thought provoking lyrics!!!

This song has a 99% chance of making you do the stank face, as soon as the song really starts.

A nice thing about Tool is if you like one song sonically, you'll probably like them all. They've developed their sound consistently over the years but it always sounds distinctly like them. I'd almost say they're a one-band genre because...you just won't mistake them for a different band once you know what they sound like. This is pretty much as heavy as they get. They do have some softer songs like that are still consistent with their overall feel. Outside of a few songs which are about personal things, Tool is pretty tight-lipped about about saying what songs "mean" in favor of letting the listener interpret them. One specific thing about their process is lyrics and vocals are only crafted after the rest of the music so they're directly inspired by it and fit the songs individually. You can go wrong with any of their songs but some notably good ones are Right In Two, The Patient, Schism, Lateralus, Vicarious, and Hooker With A Penis

It's about a judge sending down dope smokers while he's doing coke.
