The music and the lyrics. The word choice and flow is uniquely satisfying in way I can't quite place my finger on. "Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending, to write it down for all the world to see...."
The fact that this song was last in a poll is criminal. One of my all time favorites and a hidden gem for sure. Read the lyrics when you get a moment. They're hilarious
This is also in my top 3 Tool songs of all time, along with Third Eye and Pneuma. I was a full blown psychonaut as a young man 🍄😁 so I focused a lot on the lyrics of those songs at first (I can recite the lyrics for almost every Tool song from memory.) And admittedly have never really focused on the bass for Rosetta Stoned in particular, this was a great analysis 👍 Also, Disgustipated is a close 4th on my list, amazing lyrics in that song as well as very unique instrumentals.
Rosetta Stoned is definitely a hidden gem. It’s extremely complicated: it evolves at crazy pace, never quite repeating itself, with what feels like a thousand different time signatures overlapping each other. Classic Tool.
Man, this is so true. It’s 100% Tool, but more epic in a way. It’s the ultimate ‘release’ after a huge tension build up. I even get sort of sad when you get to ‘to write it down for all the world to see’ knowing this section is almost over. Rewind, repeat a couple of times and then move on 😅
One of my absolute favorite tool songs. I get goosebumps every time when he says "Alrighty then, picture this if you will..." and you get that little guitar arpeggio of like 4 notes and then boom! the whole band are immediately locked into the tightest most relentless groove ever. The whole song has this hypnotic swaying feel to it and is riddled with weird time signatures and polyrhythms but you can still feel the groove. The lyrics are a perfect fit with my favorite tool line ever: "And he looked right through me, with somniferous almond eyes, don't even know what that means, must remember to write it down."
YES! I saw them in Vancouver 2023. I listened to a lot of TOOL, but this song was less on my radar. However, for that reason, this one along with Jambi really stood out to me during the live performance. Jambi was the highlight/surprise of that show, partly because of the visuals during the solo.
The time signature changes and polyrhythms in this song are insane. It's one of my favorite songs to play and it all feels natural once you get the sway of it. most the stuff you thought was 6 or 7...was actually 11. i count it like 123, 123, 123, 12. That funky awesome bass groove around @16:30 is a 5:3 poly, then Danny adds the 4, it's nuts, and so much fun to play on Bass. The bass is hitting that punchy higher melodic note, following the snare, on every 3rd beat, but it's counted in 5.
Love these so much. 13:37 is Justin turning on a guyatone auto-wah/envelope filter, possibly with some fuzz and making that crazy synth sound with Maynard’s “strapped down” vocal. My favorite part of the whole song. Such a masterpiece of psychedelia.
The bass & polyrhythmic drum breakdown over the guitar solo is currently my favorite musical passage in Tool's entire discography. This will likely change soon, they seem to cycle round frequently.
I've always been a surface listener to music, so I've always really only noticed the guitar on that part with just a bit of the bass filling it. This time I really focused on the drums (maybe my headset plays it louder than other devices I've used?) and was amazed at the work Danny was doing. I'm no drummer, but even I can tell the man is something else.
Super epic track! The “shit the bed again” was and is a term I’ve used to this day when somebody or myself do something dumb or disappoint, what a treat to come back too, I enjoy the long videos!
This is one of my all time favorites by them. Heck, it's one of my all time favorite songs ever. I was one of those that voted for this in that poll. Maybe it's such a deep cut that a lot of people who voted haven't even heard it before. I wish I had the time to go to one of their shows now to see them play this live. I almost always listen to Lost Keys, the song that leads up to this one, before this one. Between those 2, it makes an amazing 15 or so minute song, and it don't seem like 15 minutes either. This one isn't the only fantastic deep cut either. There's both parts of 10,000 Days (very deep and emotional), The Patient (Off Lateralus, i've seen them play that one live), Ticks and Leeches, the stretch on Aenima between Message to Harry Manback and Pushit, Bottom (featuring an appearance of Henry Rollins), and Swamp Song. So many fantastic deep cuts to be had. I'm glad you went and looked back at Rosetta Stoned after so long
Man, I don’t often often hear this one without the lead in between the nurse and doctor. It’s honestly one of my favourite Tool songs of all of their’s…likely my fave.
You're missing a fair bit of what Justin's doing at the beginning of the song here but yeah, this is absoutely one of their best songs with some of the best bass moments. The gradual development with ebbs and flows within and between different sections is outstanding songwriting
Do all the deep cuts and stop as many times as you want, this is the best. I think you'd appreciate the lead-in song "Lost Keys" only because it's bass driven with a hypnotic phrasing. When this album dropped, they would open the shows with only Justin on stage playing extended versions of it as an intro. It would be cool to see your take on it.
I think this might be my favorite song of all time. The way it's composed and arranged just never gets boring to me, how all of the parts could be locked in at times, but then they also go away from eachother is just so incredible. The way this song transforms in so many ways is perfect. This song is truly a masterpiece, no doubt about that. This song is so deep and yet so heavy, melodic, just EVERYTHING. The build into the climax is so perfect too. I can't even fully describe how this song is really JUST PERFECT. I hope you do Parabol and Parabola
Tool are the only modern musicians I know who do this type of song, and it's not every song that they do. Instead of following the standard order of a song (Intro, verse, chorus, verse etc) the song is a journey, or almost like a play where there are acts. I've heard it in classical music, but not really in any modern genres.
Imagine being Danny, Justin, and Adam and coming up with this song, then giving it to Maynard and thinking “How the fuck is he going to write lyrics over that?” Then Maynard comes back with lyrics that fit perfectly with the feel of the song. Credit to all of them, but it blows my mind that Maynard writes his parts AFTER the songs are done. It seems impossible
The vocals were meant to represent the stages of "the trip".....distorted and crazy at the peak, slowly but surely "coming down" until the end when he's sobered up and it's a full blitz TooL song and Maynard is shining!! Absolute genius!
Always love the Tool reactions, Mark. They sent me down the rabbit hole of progressive music in my youth and were my favorite band until I discovered BTBAM. Which is my segue into.. we need more Dan Briggs love! Would love to see a reaction off of Parallax II, another monumental peak in their career. Either “Silent Flight Parliament”, “Melting City”, or “Lay your Ghosts to Rest” would be awesome. “Disease, Injury, Madness” off of The Great Misdirect also has a tasty bass solo and lots of other cool bass parts in it
"I did come from the age of listening to full albums ..." We lost something when we moved away from that. The length and format of an album is able to to evoke and convey so much more than an individual tune can, even a sprawling prog track. And an album can provide insightful context to a song. All while remaining enjoyable in it's entirety in a single session. I've always preferred listening to full albums over individual songs.
If you think the vocal sounds are a thing to behold, just take a gander at the lyrics. I had a tough time with this one for long time cos of everything that's going on. Looked at the lyrics one day and realized it's all just one long dad joke and I was sold. So glad that I did that cos this is really one of their best.
Dude, I like your channel. You're pretty cool and junk. I'm also afflicted by the the bass epidemic. I love your reactions. I had a thought. Maybe it's cool, maybe not. I'd like to see what you're up to. Musically. Like, are you working on any projects? Doing any session work? Writing shit at home just for fun that no one will ever hear? You're an amazing player, I especially love your work with STS. That's right up my alley. Just curious. Maybe it would be fun. Anyways, nice work, dude. Be well. Keep slayin.
13:35 starts a part where adam is in a different time sig than justin/danny and the rhythmic dissonance (as you referred to in another video). It is like an audio gyroscope whose passages align predictably in different places until the mathematics all add up and they converge. I never noticed this about their song structures until you pointed it out.
I would advise anyone going to see Tool in concert to realize exactly what you just said as a preface. Maynard’s vocals are another instrument and he is not there to be the focus. An article once called them the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. They all have an equal part to play and you’re there for every piece of it.
In my opinion, the best musical movement of all time is the back half of the 10,000 Days album. Lost Keys, Rosetta Stoned, Intension, and Right in Two.
Wifey got me tickets for Feb in Fresno, can't wait I haven't seen them live since lateralus had tickets in 2020 before stuff got crazy but we couldn't line up a babysitter lol
I love your channel! When navigating UA-cam "j" goes back ten seconds and "l" forward ten secs. "," and "." to advance frames. It may make your life easier when rewinding.
If you want another deep cut, try Intension followed by Right in Two as they are sequenced on the 10,000 days album. The combo of the two are much more ethereal than your avg Tool song and Justin's parts are amazing.
I love your videos ! Will you be doing more TOOL ? You had mentioned you want to do the full album Fear Inoculum, I can't wait ! Please post more TOOL ! thanks !
I always keep wondering how the bassist make out any of the riffs on the songs. I can, on the easy riffs or the ones that are distinctly mixed, make out like half the riffs. But with Tool it's just like when it's similar to guitar or very big clear lines I can make it out. Most of this I can't tell other than it sounds cool and something in the background probably helps a lot. I'm that guitarist who is trying to get some hang of good musical bass. Finally getting the hang of Tool got me into caring about the bass more, the guitars are cool, sure, but it's just there to support the drums and bass... So I listen to Tool for bass and drums despite being a guitarist. God damn, shit the bed. I really love this song for the whole theme and how the music supports that feel. The riffs are so catchy while being much like being in a trance. Great for meditating.
Hey! Discovered your channel recently. You're doing a great job! Though I'm not a musician myself, but it's interesting to listen. You precisely describe with words how I feel about TOOL songs. But there's another band, that I adore as much as TOOL. It's Killing Joke. Please, make video about them if you've got a chance!
I really like you channel. Can always use more Tool. It could be a good excuse to go back and listen to some of the back of the albums. People always love the holy Trinity..... Disposition, Reflection, and Triad.
That section that starts “overwhelmed as one would be” is one of the most amazing pieces of music ever!🤘🏻
One of their best climaxes 🎉😂
typical...
The music and the lyrics. The word choice and flow is uniquely satisfying in way I can't quite place my finger on.
"Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending, to write it down for all the world to see...."
Agree
“Y’all sound like Peanut’s parents” will Gen Z ever understand it?
The fact that this song was last in a poll is criminal. One of my all time favorites and a hidden gem for sure. Read the lyrics when you get a moment. They're hilarious

@@gosborgI guess that's just polyrhythms for you.
Like the time Dave floated away
"overwhelmed as one would be placed in my position..." Must be one of the best pieces of music in Tool's whole catalog, it is too good
descriptive of anyones first experience listening to tool, lets be honest. Hell, it's still true of like what, 25 years later?
Man, this is so true. It’s 100% Tool, but more epic in a way. It’s the ultimate ‘release’ after a huge tension build up. I even get sort of sad when you get to ‘to write it down for all the world to see’ knowing this section is almost over. Rewind, repeat a couple of times and then move on 😅
Epic best describes that beautiful melodic burst at “overwhelmed…………”. Brilliant
One of my absolute favorite tool songs. I get goosebumps every time when he says "Alrighty then, picture this if you will..." and you get that little guitar arpeggio of like 4 notes and then boom! the whole band are immediately locked into the tightest most relentless groove ever.

The lyrics are a perfect fit with my favorite tool line ever: "And he looked right through me, with somniferous almond eyes, don't even know what that means, must remember to write it down."
The intro track is interesting as well, how it leads into the main track.
This is one of my top 5 favorite songs of theirs. Absolute masterpiece.
It’s a damn good song. I was excited to see it live again last time I saw them.
Agreed!
Same
what are your other favs?
@@tonysambrano1229 If you're looking for this kind of deep cut from Tool I would suggest Third Eye, Pneuma and Disgustipated.
"Pushit" has some incredible bass riffs and segments. and their newest masterpiece, "7empest" is just breathtaking
I’m so glad they played this on the last leg of their tour. It CRUSHES live!
I'm absolutely convinced that if I heard this played live I would have a massive psychedelic flashback 😲👽🍄😆
Theyll play it on this upcoming tour also. The setlist is available online
Edit: saw it live a couple of weeks ago. Yeah, had an OBE
YES! I saw them in Vancouver 2023. I listened to a lot of TOOL, but this song was less on my radar. However, for that reason, this one along with Jambi really stood out to me during the live performance.
Jambi was the highlight/surprise of that show, partly because of the visuals during the solo.
Each Tool song give me beautiful goosebumps.

yessir its a guyatone br2 bottom wah rocker, he uses it for the bass solo in the pot
@@cameron7135had a chance to see the RIG Rundown episode with Justin?
@@danielhill8200 yessir awsome video
@@cameron7135 From the South, are you son?
You’ve gotta do Wings for Marie/10,000 Days. It’s Justin’s magnum opus. His greatest work in my opinion.
The only song he needs to sit down to play. Has to concentrate so hard and for so long, standing isn't an option.
@@johnseward2934 I saw them play it on the 10,000 Days tour and it was unreal.
Furthermore the meaning behind that song is so deep. Made for Maynard’s deceased mother ..
And the only song he plays without a pick I think
@@johnseward2934that's true? :D
16:37 I was waiting for his reaction to this part from the beginning of the video. his face expression is priceless !!
The bass & polyrhythmic drum breakdown over the guitar solo is currently my favorite musical passage in Tool's entire discography. This will likely change soon, they seem to cycle round frequently.

Im a tool listener for 6 years now and I can tell u that that part is indeed the best moment in their discography.
imo their best song, and certainly my favorite
Same, after seeing them recently I had to play Rosetta Stoned every day for many weeks! playing it on guitar as well
I love what you’re doing on this channel. Looking forward to the Fear Inoculum breakdown
Looking forward to seeing this live in less than 30 days!! My first tool show
Super dope. Please do "Reflection" 🔧👁️🌀🤘🏼
Man I LOVE watching your Tool videos! Its just a joy to watch!!!
Saw them this summer play it live! Just incredible! For sure one of my favorites!
My first car was a Honda Civic as well. Love your take on songs lately. Helps me see different things in the songs.
One of my faves! They played it when I saw them in October and it was easily the highlight for me.
Super epic track! The “shit the bed again” was and is a term I’ve used to this day when somebody or myself do something dumb or disappoint, what a treat to come back too, I enjoy the long videos!
"Let's see what this builds to." Famous last words when listening to TOOL.
This is one of my all time favorites by them. Heck, it's one of my all time favorite songs ever. I was one of those that voted for this in that poll. Maybe it's such a deep cut that a lot of people who voted haven't even heard it before. I wish I had the time to go to one of their shows now to see them play this live.

So many fantastic deep cuts to be had. I'm glad you went and looked back at Rosetta Stoned after so long
It feels criminal to skip Lost Keys before listening to Rosetta Stoned, but sometimes you've got to save time or you won't get to finish it all.
The patient is def a top 10 Tool song 🔥
This song is so good. The polyrhythms in this song are so tasty, even for Tool's standards.
This one is still growing on me - but seemingly as with every Tool song, the more you listen to something the better it gets. Great video as always! ❤
Definitely one of my favorite Tool songs.
Every time I hear this song, it's my favorite song of theirs for the moment... Even though I think that's every song they've made for me.
My favorite TOOL song!
This 1 is an absolute banger
My man it's such a joy to see you enjoying music like this, thank you!
Another awesome song off this album is "Right in Two," more for the words than anything else. It always makes me smile and laugh a little bit.
Man, I don’t often often hear this one without the lead in between the nurse and doctor. It’s honestly one of my favourite Tool songs of all of their’s…likely my fave.
Even though it's been almost 23 years now. The rhythm Justin does in Reflection on Lateralus still eludes me, and it just keeps on going
You're missing a fair bit of what Justin's doing at the beginning of the song here but yeah, this is absoutely one of their best songs with some of the best bass moments. The gradual development with ebbs and flows within and between different sections is outstanding songwriting

When this album dropped, they would open the shows with only Justin on stage playing extended versions of it as an intro. It would be cool to see your take on it.
Dude fck yes. A masterpiece of a song 🙌🏽🤘🏽
If Tool were a video game, Rosetta Stoned would be the 10-phase Final Boss. Just a beautiful masterpiece *chef kiss*
This was amazing to hear when they brought it back out for the recent tour.
I think this might be my favorite song of all time. The way it's composed and arranged just never gets boring to me, how all of the parts could be locked in at times, but then they also go away from eachother is just so incredible.

Do Intension into Right in Two. The aforementioned interlude is the perfect appetizer for the albums climax. Amazing album 10000 Days
Underrated classic. Even better live, especially with Justin doing his weird dance!!
Always love the Tool reactions, Mark. They sent me down the rabbit hole of progressive music in my youth and were my favorite band until I discovered BTBAM. Which is my segue into.. we need more Dan Briggs love! Would love to see a reaction off of Parallax II, another monumental peak in their career.

Hell yeah, I've been practicing this one
"I did come from the age of listening to full albums ..."

That smooth, sexy bass run is my favorite one on this track... so juicy....
Would love to see a reaction to Stone Temple Pilots “Trippin on a hole in a paper heart” Robert DeLeo absolutely kills that song 🔥
Oh yes, Robert DeLeo is great! And this song, i lost th count of how many times i've played the bass track on Guitar Hero 2 lol. So good.
FINALLY someone covering Rosetta Stoned, THANK YOU!!!!!!
Now I know this is a bass video, but at 8:22, the drum fill that happens is absolutely brilliant. I can’t help but point it out every time I hear it 🤣
Such a cool fill, surprising, and simple but complex
My favorite Tool Song
I'm looking forward to the album react 🤘
Happy New years!
If you want to hear the first time Tool did a song like that listen to Third Eye.
As a fan since 92. In my humble opinion. Tool, has evolved better than most bands in my lifetime. I grew up with LZ and PF. :)
Dude, I like your channel. You're pretty cool and junk. I'm also afflicted by the the bass epidemic. I love your reactions. I had a thought. Maybe it's cool, maybe not. I'd like to see what you're up to. Musically. Like, are you working on any projects? Doing any session work? Writing shit at home just for fun that no one will ever hear? You're an amazing player, I especially love your work with STS. That's right up my alley. Just curious. Maybe it would be fun. Anyways, nice work, dude. Be well. Keep slayin.
Awesome tune and awesome break down
Finally!!! Thank you! \m/
13:35 starts a part where adam is in a different time sig than justin/danny and the rhythmic dissonance (as you referred to in another video). It is like an audio gyroscope whose passages align predictably in different places until the mathematics all add up and they converge. I never noticed this about their song structures until you pointed it out.
This one was too chaotic for me at first. Definitely not a mainstream song. That said - it's one of my favorites these days.
Great react!
Absolutely my favourite channel. Cheers
Wow, thanks! Happy New Year!
Gotta say..your tone on this one is freaking nice! So much grit. What pedal are you using to get that?
I’ll watch hours of your videos. Never too long. Keep it up bro 🤘🏻
When you react to TOOL it’s like all my Christmas’ coming together at once.
I would advise anyone going to see Tool in concert to realize exactly what you just said as a preface. Maynard’s vocals are another instrument and he is not there to be the focus. An article once called them the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. They all have an equal part to play and you’re there for every piece of it.
Excellent reaction and commentary.
The only song I NEVER skip
Lucky you you got to experience a Tool song like it was new. Thats the dream!
I did for “Pneuma”, but I have heard this one before as I mentioned. Just has been easily 10+ years, and hardly remembered any of it. Cheers!
In my opinion, the best musical movement of all time is the back half of the 10,000 Days album. Lost Keys, Rosetta Stoned, Intension, and Right in Two.
Wifey got me tickets for Feb in Fresno, can't wait I haven't seen them live since lateralus had tickets in 2020 before stuff got crazy but we couldn't line up a babysitter lol
Robert Trujillo infectious grooves violent and funky
Always. More. TOOL! 🤘🏻
I love your channel! When navigating UA-cam "j" goes back ten seconds and "l" forward ten secs. "," and "." to advance frames. It may make your life easier when rewinding.
The song is about a bad acid trip, being why the skit song before is lost keys blame Hoffman since Hoffman is the grandfather of acid experimentation
If you want another deep cut, try Intension followed by Right in Two as they are sequenced on the 10,000 days album. The combo of the two are much more ethereal than your avg Tool song and Justin's parts are amazing.
I love your videos ! Will you be doing more TOOL ? You had mentioned you want to do the full album Fear Inoculum, I can't wait ! Please post more TOOL ! thanks !
Very mixed vocals as you said more of an instrument yes.. loved the video and breakdown as usual
Fetal spooning! Great song 🎧
There is no keeping us too long, when it comes to TOOL
He uses a Fretless Wal in parts of this song
13:18 I’ve waited years for a bassist to react to the following couple riffs
I always keep wondering how the bassist make out any of the riffs on the songs. I can, on the easy riffs or the ones that are distinctly mixed, make out like half the riffs. But with Tool it's just like when it's similar to guitar or very big clear lines I can make it out. Most of this I can't tell other than it sounds cool and something in the background probably helps a lot. I'm that guitarist who is trying to get some hang of good musical bass.

So I listen to Tool for bass and drums despite being a guitarist. God damn, shit the bed. I really love this song for the whole theme and how the music supports that feel. The riffs are so catchy while being much like being in a trance. Great for meditating.
A good audio system helps, but even then sometimes I need to pitch shift a track up an octave to pick bass out.
Hey! Discovered your channel recently. You're doing a great job! Though I'm not a musician myself, but it's interesting to listen. You precisely describe with words how I feel about TOOL songs.
But there's another band, that I adore as much as TOOL. It's Killing Joke. Please, make video about them if you've got a chance!
My favorite Tool track.
The Horse by A Wilhelm Scream will have your jaw dropped, if not outright removed. It has to be done, PLEASE
Coming in a week or two!
I know you're a bass player (like me 🤘) but you should really check out the Triad drum cam. In my opinion Danny's best drumming.
Another great video Mark, your channel is the best. I hope you still do a video about Slipknot and Paul Gray. He's the reason I stayed playing bass...
"Disasterpiece" is a good take. I love the bass on it.
16:31 🥵 has to be a top 5 song for me.
Love your videos man 🇦🇺
This was badass! I am excited about the Fear Innoculum review!
i have no idea if youve done jimmy by tool before, currently only song i can almost play by tool😅
Isn’t it so awesome revisiting Tool and Primus! A+ Both
oh fuck yeah!!
I really like you channel. Can always use more Tool. It could be a good excuse to go back and listen to some of the back of the albums. People always love the holy Trinity..... Disposition, Reflection, and Triad.
I'd love to hear your take on some Mars Volta and QOTSA
Can you please review and analyze Mudshovel by Staind? PLEASE!
This dude is going to love Invincible
look up "Die Happy Blue" here on UA-cam. It has some awesome bass playing in it
