➡️ In today’s “playlist” and “shuffle” culture, some of these deep cuts from classic albums get forgotten about. I nearly forgot about “Rosetta Stoned” from TOOL, and after many requests I decided I’d go back in time and reacquaint myself with this bizarre track from the “10,000 Days” record. A select few parts came back to me quickly, but a sizable chunk of the song felt brand new! It was a blast putting this one under the microscope and listening with a critical ear, and I heard bassist Justin Chancellor make a lot of bass moves I don’t hear him do too often: lyrical bass fills, bold counterpoint, and playing so dynamically underneath the fragile vocal performance to really elevate the song’s pacing. I also discuss how Maynard’s vocals are the antithesis of a typical “lead vocal” role, how Adam Jones can add ONE additional note to a chord and intensify the song, and how at any given time, the four of them can all represent a lead line within the track. All of Tool’s signature moves are in this one, but in a whole new “B-Side” light!

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
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.
@@gosborgI guess that's just polyrhythms for you.
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."
The intro track is interesting as well, how it leads into the main track.
"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 😅
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
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
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.
How I break things down lol 12123123123 etc.
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’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
16:37 I was waiting for his reaction to this part from the beginning of the video. his face expression is priceless !!
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.
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
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
Super dope. Please do "Reflection" 🔧👁️🌀🤘🏼
I love what you’re doing on this channel. Looking forward to the Fear Inoculum breakdown
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
Each Tool song give me beautiful goosebumps.
Saw them this summer play it live! Just incredible! For sure one of my favorites!
Man I LOVE watching your Tool videos! Its just a joy to watch!!!
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!
My first car was a Honda Civic as well. Love your take on songs lately. Helps me see different things in the songs.
you made me choke when you started air swimming lol
I haven’t watched it yet, but based on this comment alone I can tell it’s gonna be one of my favorites. 🏊♂️
Dude fck yes. A masterpiece of a song 🙌🏽🤘🏽
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.
in front rows...Justin is the show
One of my faves! They played it when I saw them in October and it was easily the highlight for me.
This song is so good. The polyrhythms in this song are so tasty, even for Tool's standards.
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
This 1 is an absolute banger
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! ❤
Looking forward to seeing this live in less than 30 days!! My first tool show
My favorite TOOL song!
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.
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
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
This was amazing to hear when they brought it back out for the recent tour.
If Tool were a video game, Rosetta Stoned would be the 10-phase Final Boss. Just a beautiful masterpiece *chef kiss*
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.
My man it's such a joy to see you enjoying music like this, thank you!
That smooth, sexy bass run is my favorite one on this track... so juicy....
I'm looking forward to the album react 🤘
Happy New years!
Awesome tune and awesome break down
Underrated classic. Even better live, especially with Justin doing his weird dance!!
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!
Excellent reaction and commentary.
Finally!!! Thank you! \m/
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.
Hell yeah, I've been practicing this one
I’ll watch hours of your videos. Never too long. Keep it up bro 🤘🏻
My favorite Tool Song
Love your videos man 🇦🇺
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.
Absolutely my favourite channel. Cheers
Wow, thanks! Happy New Year!
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
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 !
Do Intension into Right in Two. The aforementioned interlude is the perfect appetizer for the albums climax. Amazing album 10000 Days
Always. More. TOOL! 🤘🏻
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
FINALLY someone covering Rosetta Stoned, THANK YOU!!!!!!
Fetal spooning! Great song 🎧
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.
My favorite Tool track.
When you react to TOOL it’s like all my Christmas’ coming together at once.
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!
oh fuck yeah!!
Very mixed vocals as you said more of an instrument yes.. loved the video and breakdown as usual
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. :)
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!
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.
Gotta say..your tone on this one is freaking nice! So much grit. What pedal are you using to get that?
This dude is going to love Invincible
13:18 I’ve waited years for a bassist to react to the following couple riffs
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.
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!
He uses a Fretless Wal in parts of this song
This was badass! I am excited about the Fear Innoculum review!
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!
so much respect for Justin. Using a pick on these songs and always keeping it so complex. i love this band and their synergy, they work so well as a unit as well separately to always come back together at the end around the big part of the song
I'd love to hear your take on some Mars Volta and QOTSA
"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.
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
The only song I NEVER skip
Dude shouldn't have forgotten his pen humanity is in trouble.
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.
16:31 🥵 has to be a top 5 song for me.
the fact that this tune scored last in the poll tells you a lot about the people listening to it.
... or it tells you a lot about the overall quality of the options in the poll.
The fact that Rosetta Stoned is the last place vote yet people wanted the entire Fear Innoculum album reviewed makes me really question Tool fans
If you want to hear the first time Tool did a song like that listen to Third Eye.
Robert Trujillo infectious grooves violent and funky
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.
A good audio system helps, but even then sometimes I need to pitch shift a track up an octave to pick bass out.
i have no idea if youve done jimmy by tool before, currently only song i can almost play by tool😅
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.
👏👏👏
Oh no shit the bed
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.
Please do a crimpshrine one
Jambi,Jambi,Jambi. Did I mention, Jambi?!
Can you please review and analyze Mudshovel by Staind? PLEASE!
