  • @pagandude1 you do make a valid point... But the songs still not about religion. It may touch on the subject "i thought the sun/son would come deliver me, but the truth has come to punish me instead" its basically saying religion cant save you from such destruction. Probably George Ws justification on ignoring the problem.. Being the moron he is.

  • Presidential Adviser: "Mr President, like i said before, we have a big problem down in New Orleans... " George W : " Flood? What flood? Nobody told me about any damn flood---are you sure that it's not just an over-reaction to the fact that most of America is crying rivers of tears because I truly am the stupidest President in the history of the Administration ??? " ( conversation overheard near the West Wing... )

  • i remember being in this mess august, 30th 2005.. the next day was my birthday.. i had to clean up garbage and look for bodies that were foating around my house. and the funny thing is i was listening to tool before the storm hit.. thanks for uploading bro!

  • It starts with "here comes the water" not "here comes Jesus"

  • @F3shotF it might as well be " here comes Jesus" because even that's more realistic than "here comes George W Bush--help is arriving... "

  • I think the song is pretty self explanitory. And its named flood for Christs sake. Come on people, Maynard doesnt always sing about religion subliminally. Not every song is a hidden message. If you read into anthing too mich it can be interpreted as whatever you want it to. Your looking too far into it. The lyrics are pretty clear. "All I knew and all I believed are crubling images that no longer comfort me, I scramble to reach higher ground, some order and sanity, or something to comfort me...

  • i dont mean to be a dick or to troll on ur video but this song isn't about an actual flood.its about religion.besides that thanks for posting this song on youtube.

  • lol guy at 7:20 waering volto tshirt (danny's side band)

  • All I knew and all I believed are crumbling images that no longer comfort me. I scramble to reach higher ground, some order and sanity, or something to comfort me. So I take what is mine, and hold what is mine, suffocate what is mine, and bury what's mine. The water is rising up on me. Thought the sun would come deliver me, but the truth has come to punish me instead. The ground is breaking down right under me. Cleanse and purge me in the water.

  • Nice job dude... great song... great band..

  • They played this jam at Red Rocks about a month ago. The visuals we killer and they jammed the shit out of it.  Best show ever.

  • i saw only poor peoples... whats about richs ? Save by miracle ?

  • Kudos to the person who who created and put together this audio video. and to the person who made the 1st comment on making your own music to it yata yata yata,is probably not real educated. thanks for sharing your talents and showing us what was kept hidden from us.

    god bless

    koy cox

  • here comes the water!!!!

  • lol......... :33 she's sitten there on the roof with three "Tall Boys" left... Beer

  • Your own videos for people to enjoy? Oh wait, you probably cant, all you can muster is to leave around your steamy pile of feces you call an opinion around the Internet. I didnt steal this, its an homage to Tool and the brutal struggle experienced by the people in the Gulf Coast area. I never claimed this was art, its something I put together and figured other people would enjoy. Do us all a favor, collect your shit and piss in your bathtub for a few weeks, and drown yourself in it.

  • Dude pwnt. Nice video, nice comeback.

  • @LVILLuminati lol owned that troll

  • @tollio1234 Yes indeed, thank you. Sometimes you got to let the idiots know what the big picture is because they're fumbling around with a magnifying glass not knowing what they're looking at. If you don't like it... awesome, don't try to put down the creator, perhaps say what you think could have been better. Constructive criticism works, being a troll is just retarded.

  • OK, lets get a few things straight. I've been listening to Tool probably since you were drinking the rotten swill from your mothers mangled teet. I know exactly what this song means, it's one of my favorite Tool songs. If you THINK about it (something you're not used to I'm sure) it's inner and outer meaning work for this song. These people thought they were safe, never suspecting a total levee failure, then their lives get completely turned upside down. On the same token, why dont you make

  • @LVILLuminati thanx for the video BTW!

  • You are a moron, music has a different meaning to each individual. Not just what YOU think that it means.

  • lol HERE COMES THE WATER..... MOTHERFUCKER!!!!

  • @riverfireflyify lol, i see where you're coming from, but not all of tools songs have some significant, life changing meaning to it. lol

  • @riverfireflyify isn't it funny how You are placing exclusivity on art that was intended to be universally, multiversally, interpreted by the viewer,listener,fellow artist,etc.? Seems You're the one 'exploiting tool' for Egoism, lol. *shrug*

  • damn dude. powerful.

  • it puts it deeper then when the leeves break wuld

  • Excellent song, great timing/editing on vid. Doesn't seem like it was 4 years ago. Still cuts me to the quick to see it.

  • Yes Haaaaaaaarrrrrrpppppp indeed!!!! This is by far my fav Tool song ever so stoked when I saw it live and Katrina whiped out the area I grew up in so I like what you have done here

  • Nature my ass. DARPA HAARP

  • why tha fuck would HAARP do this

  • @SmokeHoLee

    Of course! Don`t forget the chemtrails too!!

    /facepalm

  • The music fits perfectly with the pictures

  • "This ground is not the rock I though it would beee......."

    hard to believe its already beel like 4 years since this happened.

  • Dont underestimate nature...

  • damn straight

  • every time i watch a good video, especially a heart touching one like this i scroll down to the comments and all some idiot can say is what's this song. WTF??!!

  • what this song means ?

  • AWESOME

  • Hey guys, I didn't think this video would get 50,000 views, but here we are.. Thanks to everyone who sat through this 8 and a half minute visual journey, or at least part of it. Also thanks to those who gave me kind words of encouragement, and if I had time, I'd make another video, and I might just have some time coming up. Anyways thanks again, we'll see you at 100,000 I guess. -Ill

  • This is perfect

  • @LVILLuminati

    right now, i feel like a little cat helpless on a tree, this one shows you guys the f****ing future and I hope my grand grand sons won`t get this massed up mother earth!!! THX for this one! Praise the lost ones!!

    A soul from Germany

  • @LVILLuminati-im from new orleans and im also a huge fuckin tool fan and this video didnt bother me i think the song went good with the video..i saw tool last month at uno lakefront arena it waz the shit..it waz my 2nd time seein them since the storm and 4th over all...good vid like i said im from N.O. and im givein u props on it..if u not from here ppl u cant say shit..WHO DAT??

  • @LVILLuminati tool is awesome that's all i want to say!

  • Bad ass!

  • One of the best videos I've personally ever seen on youtube; very well done....

  • Pretty gripping, raw and soooo American! Fuckin' Seposistic country in all its pathetic glory! SAD.......well done tho'!

  • yer a cunt!

    in a good way!

  • Seposistic = Solipsistic? or Septic? Or something else?

  • Seposistic..... as in when I take shit it flows down south through America.

    Seposistic..... origin, Canada

  • The only instance of this word throughout the world's trillions of pages is below. Origin, pulled out of your butt. Not Canada.

  • what a pathetic bitch stank is!

  • hahaha

  • sick video! i love it

  • best band ever. awesome video.

  • it would suk if gustav was another katrina but it wasn't so tg.

  • thats pretty big

  • I hope you saw the american flag that means we are nation and as a Nation we dont kill our own people to save others more rich or what not

  • Great song, and I never realized how appropriate it is in conjunction with Katrina. Good Editing!

  • man....i really hope gustav isnt another katrina that would be great if 3 years later on the same day that would be very shitty.

  • well done, well said

  • the ground is not the rock it used to be

  • Thought I was high... Thought I was free...

  • hahahaha nice vid

  • Absolutely love it! I used to live there.

  • I was 4 blocks the otherside from where the levee, broke i witness everything. God is a great and live to tell the story. This is history. Why should a city of people be murdered. The souls are crying. STOP PATCHING THE LEVEE, YOUR ARE SHOWING THE WHOLE WORLD HOW RETARTED THE PEOPLE AND STUPID. THE SLAVE MASTER WANT THEIR CITY BACK, JERKS. BLACK AND WHITE PEOPLE DIED. STOP RACISM AND ROBBING PEOPLE THEIR HEIRSHIP AND CULTURE.

  • My comments are to help inform people what is or have occurred. But its rediculous to say the Levee is fix to this date. I personally as to today witness, where the levee been broken is patched, they really love the people of New Orleans. Holland came here and suggested they can expertly design and fix the whole levee.Even to have a loan and pay every year.They take new orleans people for fools.They should have checked the levee every year.and they would have seen its not capable 4/5 Hurricane

  • uuum it wasnt just "niggers" who went through it i was in it i actually almost died but im not bitching... the asian is just a retarded yang whos mom prolly didnt pay attention to him and mr kukluxklan doesnt see the whole picture... white ppl also died and yes asians too so are the both of you happy for the ones of your race you lost?? if so not only are you facists your fucking scum and dont deserve life...

  • Death of this nature is a tragedy, I don't care what country it happens in. Thats some of the worlds problem, people stopped caring.

  • We aren't used to having tragedy in our country. Don't know where you're from but I bet its worse. Just ignorant. This video was probably made for Americans. We really don't care about what tsunami hit your country. Just like you don't care about what hurricane hit ours. However, you did watch the video. I'm not sitting here searching for your countries problems.

  • The song is great the video is so so. The pictures took too long to change imho.

  • ok this video is fucking amazing! i mean it's terrible what happened but it's a good idea

  • OMG verry danger that katrina

  • very good match with the subject and the song. where was the dam warning

  • Watch the weather channel you learn ALOT beleive it or not.

  • Well done video. I'm living in New Orleans, but I have to tell you, it was not a color thing, it was a class thing. The poor were being destroyed. I truly believe the levee was bombed in the lower 9th, but it backfired and the rest broke. 1,000's dead, many never recovered. New Orleans, still not repaired, people with stress syndrom on the streets, homelessness........

  • the funny/sad part is they're rebuilding the place, because it makes soooo much sense when it's only a matter of time before it gets hit again.

  • You all should read John McPhee's The Control of Nature. One of the essays is about the Corps of Engineers trying to control the river and how it may fall apart, destroying Morgantown and all points south. Fearsome stuff especially if our government hasn't improved its attitude.

  • Morgan City. It's Morgan City.

  • There was a warning.. basically for the entire American Gulf Coast and some of Mexico's. The problem is that people were used to riding out the hurricanes of the past, some had nowhere to go or no means to leave, some didn't want to leave. What they weren't planning on is a complete failure of the levees, and subsequent failure of government assistance. Truly the worst mismanagement of emergency services probably in our history. Its some shameful shit.

  • What is so wrong, so sucks, besides the gov't not having a useable plan, is that most of the photos everywhere, were of black men and women and people from the poorer districts, the hardest hit. As if there was no rush because of this? I am a 45 year old white woman, grew up in Wisc. during the 60's and didn't know was going on in the south then. My parents said nothing about race! People were people. Will someone enlighten me about now's reality on that? Have most people gotten anywhere here

  • boo hoo.

    ol hurricane katrina hit a while back.

    itsa disaster get over it people.

    were all gonna die sometime anyways.

    There was a Fucking warning too!

    They play the warnings all the time!

  • what are you five stupid we had flood walls and did warn people but they trusted the walls but the walls broke easely and if you say the goverment did it then you should check the world reord book

    Asshole

  • thank you so much for putting this video out there i am from slidell louisiana and i went through the storm this is tho only video i have seen that comes remotely close to what we felt that day well done

  • double entandre...

  • That was a perfect montage with the music

  • Must say, perfect video.

  • i saw them play this live front row and trippin on mushroooms :) best night ever

  • I have seen this on myspace.

  • just becasue its called flood, doesnt mean its about a literal flood!jeeez.... actually...aenima would have been a better choice.

    xxx

  • I personally don't agree, Flood works with this idea both literally and figuratively, being that people thought they were safe only to have everything washed away. Aenema (NOT AEnima) is more about cleansing everything that is bad in the world or more specifically Los Angeles. Thanks for the comment!

  • yep but its the only one where an actual flood is mentioned. for me...the meaning of flood is different but thats just personal objectivity. and yes i spelt it wrong! lol

    xxx

  • i think aenema would of been kind of insulting...i think it was a better choice with the "flood"

  • I caught Tool's concert in New Orleans last month, and they added Flood to their set list just for New Orleans, so they apparently thought something of it too.

  • it wasnt on only the big easys set list. they played it at the everett show.

  • they played it in Victoria too. I think they played it at every date, so you're not special =P

  • Aw damn. Oh well.

  • Very well done my friend, who every you are, you know how to blend art and tragedy to make your own art. I'm re-doing this song for an upcoming EP and it's inspiring.

  • LOL, you really must have nothing better to do with your time. Other than mocking people online...sad.

  • Wow, how long did it take you to come up with that? Go to hell you bigoted dumbass.

  • it probably took a whileto do all the filming and editing stupid fuck

  • that wasnt a comment on the video- i think the video is fantastic. it was a comment to the dipshit who simply replied 'faggot". maybe i kind of fucked that intention up, im not sure.

  • nice. really good and i love zeppelin but this song is more appropriate

  • its funny cause the other night at the new orleans tool show they played flood! i think for this reason too

  • Negative. They've been playing it on the last 3 or 4 months of this tour.

    You can't deny though, when the 1st few chords were hit, that day was on all the locals minds...I know it was on mine.

  • DIE DERKA DERKA JIHAD!!!!!!!

  • "Convention on the PROHIBITION of MILITARY or any other HOSTILE USE of ENVIRONMENTAL MODIFICATION TECHNIQUES APPROVED by the GENERAL ASSEMBLY of the UNITED NATIONS on 10 DECEMBER 1976".

    The United States will be destroyed as planned.

  • your

  • pussys never seen the eye of hell bitchin about politics and races look in the mirror the enemy sits there waiting to fight anyway he can watching you and everything you say judging you and every movement you make id hate to have any of you fucks on my side when the worlds about to topple

  • fuckin dorks grow the fuck up stick your head underwater and breathe mabye then youll live a little

  • Can you change the name of the video to "Why NOT to VOTE REPUBLICAN"

    "Your doin a helluva brownie" -G. W. (Dubb Ya) Bush

    _aka the great dumb satan

  • Oh yeah, I forgot that bush drove the hurricane over there to kill all those brown people, thanks for the reminder.

  • This is why it is a bad idea to live in a city that is lower than sea level and so close to the sea.

  • Any time i see Katrina footage i always think of Aenema..."followed by millions of dumbfounded dipshits"...Ain't that the truth?

  • Nice video, would watch again A+.

  • Indianapolis Indiana circle downtown Sept 22 at noon, join us in protest of NEW WORLD ORDER, NAU, INVASION OF IRAN, RFID CHIPS, NAFTA, CAFTA, CFR, AMERO, IMF, POLICESTATE; STAND UP FOR LIBERTY IN THE LAND OF FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE! PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD, THERE IS VERY LITTLE TIME LEFT - EVERYONE IS INVITED! FREEDOM NOT FEAR !!

  • Fuck you, dude. Go back to whatever lesser music yo listen to.

  • what i am trying to say is that ppl live where they have to, the same way your parents had to give birth to a friggin moron. btw the picture collage at the end that goes frame by frame with the music....awesome

    i refuse to read comments for the next week after reading some of this shit

  • WOW i had another idea, who ever thought of inhabiting a planet that has already had life pretty much wiped out on it once before or even better who decided we had to live in a fucking world with some of the morons posting on this page?

  • Quit arguing and let the music take you on a journey...

  • wow i must be a huge retard... i thought for sure that san fransisco was part of cali.. lmao pull ur head out ur ass.. im not going to argue with you b/c you were not here and you obviously dont understand anything except what you see on fox news...

  • well done. ignore the ignorant who think that just because they can spell inbred that they deserve to be better than people who don't have a choice where they were born. The engineers who built the levies said that they were inadequate but were ignored by people that were using the money to fix the levies for homeland defense ie. star wars etc.

  • the very last picture shown

  • Great video, Great song. Tool is one of my fav bands.. truly a great loss of American history.. just too bad there are so many moronic comments being posted.. no suprise though.. bunch of pricks.

  • nice compilation. que cagada que es de desastres

  • Honeslty, the ppl who lived down there are idiots anyways. Who goes and lives close to an ocean that has been known to have hurricans?

    And then decide to rebuild there again. Fucking retarted, they all need to move or just go die.

  • who goes and lives in tornado ally.. or in japan and hawaii where tsunamies hit... or what about cali where they have earthquakes im really tired of hearing fuckin retard hicks like urself, who dont know shit about shit talking out there asshole... don't bother calling me a nigger cause im white you embred fuck.. oh and new orleans isnt just a city.. its a piece of history. it was here long before the u.s. was.

  • it's inbred retard. not embred. and uh, he has a good point, if it was there long before the u.s. wouldn't they know shit like that happens? yea. they would. sure, it's a port on the mississippi, but they don't have to put it right the fuck where it's gonna get fucked. they coulda moved it up stream, in land a little farther.

  • Um, yea and in california dip shit, where I'm from.

    We all live on granit. Where the earth quakes don't rly affect us. So get your fucking facts straight before u decide to be even more of a dumbass and argue with somone over the fucking computer

  • i really like this. you have done a good job of coupling the right song to convey the visual message the pictures are illustrating. you'd get an "A" in my class.

  • wake up! wake up! wake up! wake up! wake up!

  • Great work I say!

  • i remember we held a minute's silence after world trade center (in Austria), but we never did that for victims of Katrina or even the Tsunami, where more than 160 000 people died.. the reaction of the government seems to be as fast as rich the victims are. it's sad that America can't even help his own citizens and still tells other states what to do -.- it's horrible when i read comments that people deserved this, it's not their fault that America is a natural disaster

  • I think you might want to read up a little bit on how America's Federal and State-level governments are structured before you go off on the deep-end. It's ok though because most Americans are just as uneducated about it and blame the federal government for everything too.

  • aside from cross's good point about our governmental structure, don't forget that the area was one huge welfare district, with ridiculously high unemployment rates and ridiculousy low property ownership. When asked why she didn't leave one woman said "cuz this is where my {welfare} check comes". if someone wants to work their way out, I'm glad to help (and I have), someone wants me and my taxes to do all the work for them, they can sit in the FEMA trailer til it rots around their lazy ass.

  • I saw them play this live on tuesday. it was fucking amazing

  • NOLA and the westbank will always be home to me...but honestly it's been 2 damn years... LEAVE IT ALONE ALREADY! People should never forget but come the fuck on HELP REBUILD IT. And yes..white people did lose homes too.. People dwell on the 9th ward and the Marigny but forget Chalmette and Lakeview where they are STILL pulling dead bodies out to this day... Just food for thought

  • I live in Slidell and I think that people have dwelled on it and just show all this terrible footage of the days immediatly following the storm because folks in that particular area rode out the storm because they had no place to go or no car to get them there. I agree, though, come help us! We all need it, the gulf coast, st. bernard, slidell, the east and west. But I did think the vidoe was great and showed me alot of things that I hadn't seen before.

  • oh, AND I'm white and lost my shit!

  • Wanna know why people didn't leave? People forget the fiasco of Hurricane Ivan in 2004. 15 hours it took to get from Algiers to Slidell (normally 30-45 min) for a storm that we literally got about 20 minutes of rain from. And we were told DIRECT hit. Some direct hit.<continued>

  • Great video and you definetly used the perfect song... but as for you other idiots who commented about what happened in my home town.. you have no clue. City of New Orleans and surrounding Parishes were told to get the hell out starting the Tuesday before the storm. <continued>

  • Ive always loved this song but never thought of it like this, great job make some more.

  • From New Orleans.PLENTY of White people lost their homes or are still rebuilding.Just letting all of the ignorant fucks out there know!

  • OK guys first of all, I made this video as a reminder of nature's wrath, and how humanity falls apart at the seams, but always seems to find a way through. This was not intended to start arguments between citizens of different countries, this could happen anywhere at anytime.

  • To go and say Americans deserve this makes you the lowest form of human being. If you want to make an example out of us, be the better person, don't lower yourself to what could be considered even less moral than your average American.

  • On a different note I didn't use AEnema because Flood is more about thinking you're on solid ground, only to find out that everything that is you can be washed away in a matter of minutes. AEnema is about flushing away everything that is bad (particularly about Los Angeles). These poor people of New Orleans didn't deserve this. I hope all the stupid bickering about who deserved what can stop and we can focus on how humanity as a whole can move on.  -J

  • good vid. but you could have used aenima. learn to swim

  • continued3> not everyone is arrogant like you. while people are saying shit back and forth in countries, other people in third world countries would have soo much to say about both.. so shut the fuck up. ok? sry, just had to get all that out

  • continued2>it is you simple minded idiots who steriotype and call people"fat,stupid wankers" and saying "we are better than you,and we know it" you arent sharing the same opinion of everyone you fucking moron.

  • its funny how simple minded people are, bunch of fucktards can't seem to separate an idividual from a nation, you idiots have to group people together when not all of them are the same.there are stupid people in every part of the world, but grouping everyone together on such a large scale of land,and saying they are all the same..

  • There is more culture and soul in a bum from New Orleans fart than there ever could over in fagland. Go eat tea and crumpets. Just dont forget that brushing your teeth is not a good idea.

  • Although its a very sad thing to happen, im so glad it happened in America.

    Americans try to save the world, yet cant save their own.... haha

  • awsome video

  • awesome vid

  • should have used AEnima the lyrics were more suiting =P

  • pooftooey. here in america we're better than you, and we know it. if we need advice on which soccer team to bet on, or how to whip up a great cup of tea, we contact your dumb ass. until then, be our little european bitches.

  • poobertson is gay

  • You're fat and stupid shut up. America is full of fat, stupid wankers, like you. Europe is full of mellow, like minded chilled mother fuckers, in which noone feels the need to drive ridiculous cars and tumble dry washing when it's sunny, or turn on the air con when you can open a door. Especially, the need to invade other countries affairs to feed you fat, dumb cunts. Nuff said.
