  • TOOL is nothing less then amazing.

  • @LilLarryLuv lol I don't think so.. Remember it?

  • I don't know what I'm looking at but I like it.

  • Tool is the worlds best and spectular band ever

    thumbs up if you agree!!

  • I love these vids.

  • I find it amazing people cant watch this sober and trip naturally. Such closed minded fools. Try having an less escapist mind and discover your own mind unaltered and watch this, if you can.

  • @jeffreyfina I really wonder,why do you say that?ur friends or whoever cant listen to tool if they're not high?whaaaat?

  • its the human being going through the sperm and egg process you were conscious then you are conscious now.

  • @aramitama101 im ripppppped

  • We're watching you!

  • It's so subliminal, then again most tool videos are...

  • holy acid!!!...but awsome song and vid

  • GL 399

  • yeah, smoking dmt definately helps.

    I went to alex grey's new years party

    I've got some videos talking about my dmt experiences, check it out

  • Damn!! where the hell do you get a hold of that stuff, I can only get weed :(

  • it's all around you. in grasses mostly. Some barks. But it's also in humans, inside the pineal gland. Don't smoke the inside of your head now

  • Lol, I mean i know where it comes from. Its just extremely hard to find someone who actually extracts it and sells it.

  • buy some plants and make ayahuasca. its not a difficult process, just lasts a whole lot longer than smoking

  • i would say you don't need to smoke dmt to understand the video but everyone should smoke dmt anyway. it's that much of a paradigm shift yo

  • try transcendental meditation or smoking dmt and you'll understand the video

  • Indeed.

    They don't realy care about the money they get.

    They write the music and put a lot of work into it.

    That's why people say you can come out with another Lord of the Rings trilogy before they create a new album.

    'Cuz they work on it for "that" long and make it right.

    They make the music for the fans and for their love of music.

    And yes, I'm a huge fan of them.

  • because they are the shit. they are all about the music and their lyrics kick ass. thats why

  • Why am I so drawn to this band?..............

  • @Violnplayr23 Cause they are the #1 metal band ever, no doubt =) Or what ever genre you wanna put them in.

  • @Violnplayr23 Because theyre AMAZING

  • @Violnplayr23 Because you rock?

  • @Violnplayr23 its tool duhh

  • @Violnplayr23 Because they're amazing x)

  • @Violnplayr23 , I have no idea why. Creepy. :)

  • @Violnplayr23 your third eye hungers

  • @Violnplayr23 because you appreciate awsomeness

    

  • This video is amazing... I watched it for the first time last night, now i am think differently than I ever did before, Is this strange? ...I for some reason I understood every message this video brought in a different way. I am not too into tool right now but I think I am going to start listening more.

  • You should look into it man. The first time I heard Tool was in 1992. They are the kind of musicians that people will be talking about for hundreds even thousands of years.Check out my page look for A Perfect Circle The Outsider Full Version its awsome... Believe me when I say that the rabbit hole goes much deeper.

  • Not strange tool is so deep i been a big fan since i was little this video really tripped me the fuck out when i watched it high O_O Scary shit but so amazing and beautiful too

  • When making this video, the animators had set "cue" marks on the timeline, to synch the video with beat changes. Adam Jones said delete that shit, this video is its own piece of art. Pointless info i know, but most tool fans want every piece of info they can get :)

  • the art he creates with maynard's lyrics. . .i absolutly love this.

    NO primitives you DO NOT need narcotics or chemicals of any sort to watch this..it might highten the experience but would you really get the meaning??

    does anyone watching this even know what living vicariously or being vicarious even means? tell me. i would tell you but you must first!

  • My favorites are H and this

  • holy christ, this video is trippy as crapp. ive always hurd of what people see when your high of of crazy stuff. but this takes the cake. you have to be stoned to your balls to be seeing this. i thought i was high for a moment their cuz of how trippy it is. i still love it though. this song is my favorite. then comes Schism, and then Parabola.

  • yeah, this most looks like a DMT trip than a acid or any other that I know of.

  • mad trippy.

  • lateralus and parabola are my favorite tool songs, look them up

  • Jimmy and Forty Six and Two are mine.

  • prison sex stinkfist and aenima are my favorite tool songs, look them up

  • theyre amazing, but listen to the sound of those songs... definately a different band which is something we hardly see

  • They should have kept those creepy sound effects in the beginning and end of the song in the recorded version. I think it adds to the theme of it.

  • cool, even though the audio quality could have been better. if that's what you see when you do drugs, i'll stay clean, thank you very much

  • hahahahaha

    haha

  • hahahahah... you would have to be on some hard core 2cb or some other extremely powerful hallucinogenic like DMT. haahaha.... JESUS!

  • GL399

  • Not my favorite song, but by far my favorite music video. The rest of Tools music videos look like they were made while Adam was high. Or drunk.

  • FUCK this beginning is brutal, TOOL for ever

  • -go through the fire to see-

  • maynard said that their songs have nothing to do with their videos, its the guitarist who directs the videos and he just visualizes what he sees when he hears the music.

  • hey guys, try watching while on LSD, it´s really strong experience and maybe it helps you to understand

  • i think i understand this video...but what does the glass mean?

  • some guy said they represent tv's, i dont know if its true but it kinda makes sense

  • I WANT TO FUCKING UNDERSTAND THE VIDEO

    seriously, i spend hours upon hours of time deciphering tools songs. its hard. because theyre geniuses. and then after i feel like i understand a song, like vicarious, i come watch the video, and the whole time im like "well what the hell does that have to do with the song?" and "I DONT GET IT!!!!!!"

    argh. it frustrates me. the video is like, so intricately woven and so complex... i dont even fucking know. there is no analogy to describe it.

  • maybe when your physical body dies your true mine and spirit is released from this world? something like that

  • It seems like the little minnow looking things represent the experiences of others and how we don't experience them first hand but instead through stories and the revelations of those people. The stage of comprehension is occurring as the small minnows enter the body and go into the brain where there are tons of eyes trying to comprehend the event in itself. Overall it represents humankind being able to experience the pain of others through media, but not willing to see it in person.

  • i get the same way when it comes to the lyrics, but the videos usually don't have anything to do with the songs, when they do its very minimal. Its just adam using his artistic creativity.

  • im fucking addicted to this song now. lyrics are fucking awesome too

  • Don't get high before watching this, you will be tripping freaking pokeballs.

  • only if you're an easy trip. i don't trip out on drugs, unless it's like a hallucinogen, then yea, cuz, you lose touch w/ reality, but weed? pills? cocaine?...no

  • it gives you a very powerful message atleast to me it does

  • That the Western World takes pleasure in hearing about the suffering of others through the media, no matter how much we deny it

  • yeah,

    this is the real video.

  • This is a very nostalgic video for Tool fans...spirals, third eyes in the hands like i Parabola, the "tool eye"...lots of old fuzzy imagery =)

  • i dont think that this is the real video tho...

  • its on the DVD

  • yeh this is the real one, its fucked up like all of em

  • Instead of trynna figure out what it means to the band, figure out what each scene in the vidoe means to you. I think thats why the band produce videos like this, so you can give your own lifes interpretation!

  • Hey! very true.

    If anything I think Maynard doesn't want the video to be strictly defined, you know?

    Like to each his own interpretation based upon the experiences of light and dark...

    Anyhow, before becoming TOO analytical...THIS SONG KICKS ASS!!!! rofl

  • hahahaha definitely I feel the same way this video has wild and amazing graphics. The song is so bad ass yet I really cannot figure out what the hell some of these symbols are actually portraying

  • lol

    Trying to decipher all of a tool video is like writing a fuckin thesis paper lol

    I feel like a kindergardener thrown into a cartesian geometry class taught in japanese when I try to figure out what most of that this stuff stands for.

    I caught the angry Brahman sun, and the eyes of knowledge; the swimming thing is symbolic of a sperm going into the fire...

    but then the rest, with the panes of glass and stuff are greek to me.

  • Well said.

  • blue pill or red pill

    and since you apparently also want political discussion, when you elect an actor, it becomes easier to elect a crony (the papa) and then easier to elect a fornicator (lol), then easier to elect mr. dumb as a monkey, then easy enough to elect half-monkey. see 46+2 DEvolution

  • rofl yeah I can clearly see we are fucked.

    I mean as if Bush's presidency wasn't bad enough, you have the media trying to spin it to another bad level, then you've got them constantly on Obama's nuts. We are headed down a slippery slope.

  • yet another comment

  • just making comments

  • this would be so scary if i were watching this on acid

  • :D. Should try it and tell us how it went.

  • holy shit

  • Definetly their best song

    I love the message

    Also the pot is amazing and the parabola vid is awesome too

  • thats like 1% of what this amaing song and video means*******8

  • after only watching our bodies and feeling become a shell left behind and our eyes get close up in action while we are numb and safe...... thats like 1% of this amazing song and video so they are both in sync.

    -Things are only considered wierd because we dont understand them.

  • Great Song. Epic Band :)

  • that was awesome!!!

  • i have officially been mind fucked.....yeah

  • Fucking great, 5 stars

  • 2 things

    i dont entirely get how the vid matches the music

    and hooever actually designed it/set it up/ made it is an absolute frikn genyus

  • thats tool for you man.

  • That's Alex Grey for you man.

  • Alex Grey contributed, but you can mostly thank Adam Jones.

  • I agree, the unofficial video is much better, with the clips from the news in it. This song is about how we enjoy experiencing other people's tragedies by watching them on the television. The unofficial video reflects that message much better.

  • from 6:00 >>>

  • Which makes both of you idiots. Now that you've told all of us what Tool's music is about, why don't you send them a letter to tell them that they screwed up their own music video because they don't seem to understand what their own music is about?

    The other video reminds me of the "fan"-made version of Lateralus. The one with solid black, white, red, and yellow frames. It's the opposite of "Take on Me" literal version, where the music video is made to reflect whatever the actual words are.

  • i was about to go on a rant much like this before I read. But I still would like to make my point. Tool or any band for that matter should NEVER bend their creativity to match their fans desires.

  • dude if you read what i wrote , it says' i '-thats me , JUST me-' dont entirely get it '...

    its that I dont quite get it, not that im slammin tool

  • THANKS!!! I've been looking for this video, I saw it on tv about a year ago and I was missing it =)

  • el tool oo

  • Comment removed

  • well if ya scared then dont watch it ya fuckin sook

  • wtf?

  • Uh... how the fuck do they scare you? You're looking at it too shallow. Look deeper in it. It will either scare you off, or drag you in.

  • i wonder if the person who made this takes hallucinogens.

  • i think, they take psychedelics

  • Wow, I watched this and remembered a significant dream I had last night. Nice Job Adam!

  • this video is amazing, where did u get this?

  • That was werid, scary, and incredibly awesome.

  • Yeah, well, he made all of tool's videos, excepting Sober xP and btw, the esoteric influence, in the band, come mostly from Corey AND Alex =p Awesome guys ^^

    Loving/living tool, spiraling out

  • Corey? Who is Corey?

  • Damn, sorry ... Carey I mean (I thought I wrote it already -.-)

  • wow even though i can't really understand what the heck is happening in the video, LOVE this song, and LOVE what the lyrics are saying.

    Btw, lol at the eyes place near the end being in GHWT

  • yeah i dont understand this video at all..but good song

  • fucking awesome!!!!

  • So much symbolism.

  • tool, by far, make the best videos

  • this could totally give someone nightmares lol

  • This video was so epic after having listened to the song with no image for so long

  • i dont understand this video, someone help meh wanna?

  • a bit creepy as expected

  • TOOL = COOL and this clip is tripping good

  • this video clip is inspired bt David Grey's paintings and DMT

  • david grey? the irish pop singer? try alex gray. he codirected it.

  • don't underestimate the Irish and their pop stars xD

  • lol noob i think your trying to say alex grey and alex grey is the guy who makes all the art for tool so i wudnt say inspired more of designed

  • thats amazing.

  • What is going on?!

  • Damn my eyeeeeeess

  • Jesse Howell loves this video, he should watch some of the other ones.

  • Is it just me or does the video sound a little different than the album version? The video seems to have a more metallic sound and MKJ's voice seems to be a little digitally scruff.

  • try adding &fmt=18 to hte end of the url. Youtube condenses the audio and by adding that to the url, it allows you to view it in the quality that i uploaded it.

  • epic

  • I love this album SO much I don't know why.

  • Because it's amazing, despite the fact that only half the tracks are actually songs on 10kdays

  • Yet, it still fills the 79mins. Kinda reminds me of the Pink Floyd albums like Animals and Wish you were here.

  • this vid is so friggin cool. i bought the dvd of it and the documentary about making it at walmart. the graphics and the quality...it makes your bones chill watching it. tool=gods

  • What DVD is that? I'll have to obtain it.

  • oh dear...idk its name. but its got cool artwork and stuff. got it at walmart.

  • What DVD? Its the Vicarious DVD!!! Stop leaching off the internet and go to a store.

  • the "Vicarious" dvd :-)

  • I got it from the lyrics itself, I mean we could spend days upon days trying to figure out the connection between the video and the song itself to a "T" but we'd never be able to, because it was never meant for that, there is no secret meaning behind the video, or at least none that I could see, the only meaning that lies within it, is the one each individual wants to see.

  • is that a teenage mutant ninja turtle i see in the opening scene?

  • maybe its opposite day xD

  • I agree that this song is undeniably orgasmic (but maynard can do that with any song) and the video is fucking brillient but it's too straight foward! (if you know tool you'll understand) maynard speaks lies to tell the truth but in this song, he bassacally just speak the truth. It's sort of a dissapointment. Plus it's another song about presedent bush, do we realy need anymore of those?

    Oh and btw the LHC is not gonna kill us you know nothing of science go burry yourself!?

  • i agree with what your saying, seriously. but i dont think its about Bush, more about how people need to watch death and suffering as entertainment (gladiators) on tv but wont admit it, but hey if theres one thing ive learnt from TOOL its that people respond to art in different ways :)

  • I agreee. I dont' think its about bush... but rather how sick he is of the thought that people need to see suffering, death and destruction to stay captivated. How everything revolves around drama and our climax is the death of another.

  • no political agenda whatsoever. sorry.

  • I also wanted to comment on the scene in which it shows the infant in the skull... Tapping back to the song "lateralus" occording to maynard we can be much more in our own human forms. I believe that by that simply visual he is explaining that we have so much more developement to the soul and mind, and we need to see that with our spiritual eyes... the twin eyes shown in the video, leave the body and re-enter not through our minds eyes, but through the hands. Directly to the soul.

  • Um...I'm sorry but Adam Jones directed the video and said that the music video has absolutely nothing to do with the lyrics. Although Maynard uses symbolism alot Adam Jones says he just does the videos on how the music makes him feel...I don't mean to offend anyone's opinion or anything.

  • what are you talking about its not about bush in any way how could you interpret it that way

  • dude this is like alien porn :O

  • lol i see where ur going, I GOT U HIGH WITH THIS VID, lol rofl

  • yo i feel high watchin this vid i saw it yesterday and i was thinin bout it all day in school drewing pics

  • brain child!

  • tool...the monsters of metal

  • what?

  • yeah!!...the same like all the people!!!

  • I'm speachless. This is so amazing. THE most powerfull imagery I have ever witnessed!!

    "They" actually made humans with transparant skins (in gs)!!

    They pulled it off!!

    I wouldn't have thought it possible.

  • i feel you man, i got some friends watchin this vid and they all had the same reaction, only described as a mental orgasm

  • amazing as usual

  • 4:20 - 4:40 EARGASM!

  • The whole song is an eargasm. :)

  • Interesting

  • i love tool for how they put things and their videos are so bizzare and prove points in the weirdest ways

  • Read the lyrics and you'll understand.

  • perfect video, for one of my favorite songs of the album, now i will share my opinion, i prefer the 10000 days album to lateralus, because to me is back to the alternative metal that i was atracted to when i first listen to them, i mean of course that i love lateralus style, my fav song of that album is disposition, but again i prefer harder sounds, thanks to AmatoryAnima for explaining the simbolism.

  • .....cool...
