This is one of the examples that proves Tool is at the tippy top of the world in musicianship. Not too many bands can do what they do.

As opposed to all of the other songs that prove the same sentiment😅, slight troll, awesome song.

“Danny Carey with his polyrhythms!” He is certainly the master, but what always amazed me about Tool is that the whole band has to understand polyrhythms, including Maynard. Adam, Justin and Maynard have incredible rhythmic knowledge. If they didn’t, they would be completely lost as Danny does his typical Danny things. Just try singing along with almost any song off Lateralus. You are going to be hard-pressed to come in on all of the weird offbeats and syncopated cues. All 4 guys are rhythmic geniuses.

Adam is one of the greatest guitar players on the planet. If you listen to many TOOL songs, Adam vert rarely plays a solo. But what he does so perfectly accents not only the song but his skills are what not to play. Too many guitar players are all too willing to fill a song with their own self interest.

I picked one up because of Adam and done a lot of different shit on the guitar…. And Adam without fail brings me back every time… nothing he does is mechanically impossible but everything he does is a mind fuck lol not one other guitarist to me personally does it like him

Q: What time signature is this in? A: All of them.

I laughed at the intro when you said there's a possibility you've heard the song in passing. This isn't the type of song you hear in passing.

Whoa, I just heard Justin bass foreshadow Maynard's "I... I... I..." bridge-- @19:30 here. So good. New things every listen.

As a fellow musician, I totally understand not gravitating towards the lyrics. But If there was ever two songs to read the lyrics, it's Lost Keys and Rosetta Stoned. The lyrics are very straightforward and hilarious. Would encourage you to read them in your own time and maybe post a follow-up on what you thought about them. Love the reactions!

This is one of the gnarliest Tool songs ever. Very difficult to keep all the timing right. Playing along with it (guitar for me) is a master class in shifting time signatures and feels.

This is Danny Carey's crown jewel polyrhythm.

Here comes the headache inducing time signatures. 😆

Seriously dude!!! I just saw them play this 7 out of 9 shows in this last tour. Was never my favorite, until I heard it live, so sick!!! Anyway, that shit the bed line stuck with me through each time and it’s my favorite

I love the reaction! Here are some interesting facts...Adam Jones, the guitarist, worked on several films in Hollywood doing makeup and set design, including Jurassic Park, Terminator 2, Dances with Wolves, and Ghostbusters II, and Freddy Kruegar. Justin Chancellor is the best punchy mid range bassist I can think of but that's not a fact, it's my opinion. Hah

I respect the hell out of you not only trying, but doing a great job at finding the time signatures every time you listen to a Tool song. That shit ain’t easy.

It is so awesome to see a reaction to this song by someone who understand the time signature machinations behind a song like this. Too many people are just flabbergasted by how weird and funny the song is but you're really disecting the framework of it and I love it. Such a brilliant track musically. Truly prog and not the kind of song just anyone could write or even cover.

It's enjoyable to see people figure out the different signatures and polyrhythms, 🤘 awesome reaction sir

David, love it when you react to Tool. Always a great to see music get broken down the way you do, especially when it's Tool's music. I look forward to your reactions to them not only because I'm a fan, but I also watch to see if this is the one that will totally break you beyond repair.....Damn it, Tool! 🤣. Love it all, man. Just keep doing it and stay fabulous always. Best wishes to the Mrs.

I feel like it's based on a true story. Dat Maynard Telling us he was told he's like a prophet, in a way. Can't see him making a bullshit story about nothing........

Great reaction. Tool really likes subdiving 4/4 I to groups of 3 3 2, as you observed here. Right in Two uses this but adds another 3 to run in 11/8. If you haven't done that, Adam's guitar effect phasing out at the climax is one of my favorite Tool moments.

Great Reaction, and THANK YOU you for pointing out the difference between 4/4 and 8/8! You are so good in finding the patterns, but sometimes one doesn’t see the forest for the trees. I could relate so much to the frustration you expressed in 12:44 even if totally unnecessary, as you had figured the 11/8 long before that point. To me it feels like a bar of rather slow 4, with triplets on 1, 2 and 3 and a shorter 4 of only 2/8. Ag ain, mathematically the same, just a question of how one feels the music. In 19:28 the triplets in a bar of 4/4 reappear, only with a more even feel to it, as this time all 4 beats in each bar are equally long. 21:02 to me feels like a 5 bar loop, speeding the feel up again by switching to 3/4 that are faster though than the 4/4, as they are not subdivided into triplets, but only two eights in each quarter note.

Hell yeah, more tool!

Solid compromise. Like your style.

Glad you liked the song. I’m a fan of this one.

Another very entertaining reaction, lol!

One of my all time favorites!

One of the best, thank you

Don't think I've heard you score a song that high before... This is brilliant though. Nothing difficult about the lyrics hear and I'm sure other's will go into detail, but it's about a guy tripping on something (MDM or something supposedly) and supposedly got kidnapped by aliens, spooned, and told the secrets of the ending of humanity, but he forgot his pen and couldn't write it all down to tell the world. He's probably a bit slow in the first place if he can't remember the secrets... I've done tons of shit and my memory is not that damn bad lol. Thanks for the react. I don't know why I watch these things. Nostalgia from being a life-long tool enthusiast, I imagine....

Too bad you aren't into lyrical content. "Like the time Dave floated away" seems incredibly appropriate and absolutely relevant for this gem. This one was fun live, a truly life altering experience for me. If you like the song there is an incredible deconstruction of it by a guy named Johnkew here on YT. Some of the stuff Danny is pulling out of his ass on this track are next level shit. John does a great job of explaining (Beato style) some of the many challenges covering it, and picking out little details the casual listener would never pick up on. Great cover too, well played and professionally presented. Fantastic to hear and see the song played with the drums up front and heavy in the mix. Great content Dave, thanks for posting.

Seconded on John Kew. John Kew's videos are great for understanding how complex Danny's work is and how the band interacts with all of the time signatures. Saying that, it's all over my head and ability to understand, but it does make it somewhat understandable. It would be great if there were more Pneuma-style drum cam videos of Danny, but without that, John Kew is the closest we get. Liked your breakdown on Adam. Adam is sometimes overlooked because he is surrounded by such overwhelmingly talented musicians and he doesn't do anything flashy, but he is so creative and unique. Adam is the flavor that makes Tool different from any other band to me.

Maynard sings behind Danny to match up vocals in time with him when live

You should check Jhon Kew playing this song. It worth it! On his KZread channel you can find the analysis he made to study this track! What an amazing work!

Which limb do you think Danny is playing 6/8 cuz the other 3 limbs are doing something completely different..

I love this song!!!

Key take away? There are now a lot of turds in his bed. As far as the tribal percussion, the song before Lost Keys is called Lipan Conjuring and that is some sort of shaman ritual chant. I feel it’s actually the opening to both of these songs.

I hereby request you do Lost Keys and Rosetta Stoned

i havent even watched this yet but i know this man is gonna lose his mind trying to break this down haha

Please react to 'Vicarious' from the same album, you won't be disappointed...

They change tempo as well

Fucking TOOL!!!.....I love when they make you just start laughing! They are ridiculous!! GOAT!

IMO you don't need lost keys to enjoy this track it clears up a bit of the content within the song but not necessary however parabol and parabola need to go together

I know you didn’t think Lost Keys was necessary to listen to with Rosetta Stoned but I think you might have a different opinion about Parabol/Parabola off the Lateralus album. They’re tied together by the music, not the story in the lyrics. When I first heard them I thought it was one song.

Hi Dave, not (yet) a Tool fan but it feels getting closer every reaction/day. Big fan of you !! Love your info, scoring and explanations. I'm not a musician just a guy who loves (live!!!) music.

I'm pretty sure you will enjoy it. m.kzread.info/dash/bejne/Z6x9q9CldLPQe7Q.html The leadsingers rock voice, which many people like, isn't that fresh this last song of the gig, but the emotion, energy, show and interacting with the crowd is great fun and sure you going to love it !!

Hi David! Back as promised👀😊 Still not a fan But....👍

Tool tends to write, record, and mix before Maynard records vocals.

Live this song is nice as well. Extra long break during the half time pause.

I support you doing the song alone. Tool fans are crazy with their song trilogies, etc and it's kinda nonsense. I'm a hardcore Tool fan by the way.... Until I'm told I'm not lol

I'm a hip hop mc so I'll instinctively follow the drums. But with Tool I don't try follow one particular musician. I let tools music become one entity but multiple at the same time. Fuck it I can't make sense of it all.
