![TOOL - LATERALUS [RAPPER REACTION]](/img/n.gif)
I know that Maynard’s syllables are counting up in the fibonacci sequence and then counting back down. There are parts of the song where the instruments seem almost like crickets. Random chaos that seems to fit somehow. I think it’s pretty funny that Maynard lets the fans know that the song is orchestrated around the fibonacci sequence, and then lays a chorus on you “overthinking, over analyzing, separate the body from the mind.” Not only quit overthinking the song, but quit overthinking and self sabotaging your life. You will just leave opportunities behind.
He has called himself out for it on two different Joe Rogan podcasts, even calling it “sophomoric” and saying “I can do better.” Lol Whatever that song is badass with a badass concept, killer timings, heart-wrenching melodic structure (i know music nerds will get me on my use of the word melody), and inspired/ing lyrics!
I love the song, and when I say it’s pretty funny I mean it. Even though this band is extremely talented, cryptic, esoteric, deep, and inspirational, they have a great sense of humor. I think most people are afraid to react to Hooker with a Penis, because of the title. Everyone that does react to it though has a good chuckle. There’s a UA-cam video out there called Tool funny moments, and it’s pretty awesome to see how they don’t take themselves too serious. They were big fans of Bill Hicks, and he even opened for them a few times as well as Tenacious D. Maynard and Adam were even on an episode of Mr. Show, which was a freaking hilarious skit comedy show back in the 90s with David Cross and Bob Odenkirk. Most people probably wouldn’t think they have a great sense of humor, especially if they’ve only heard their early stuff.
@@toddkelly5985 100%. So many facets to these guys but their humor is one of my favorite on top of the depth.
Another perfect example in song form is Rosetta Stoned.
I never thought watching people on UA-cam become Tool fans would become a hobby for me, but here we are.
Watch music be lysergic......
64F from Texas here. I’ve been a Pink Floyd fan since their early days and I discovered Tool in the 90s and I have always seen the similar elements. The deep lyrics, the transitions, etc. I absolutely love them both. Enjoyed the reaction and the additional info.
What a masterpiece. Yeah, I think it's pretty funny that he's singing about overthinking and analyzing, but all of us are trying to figure out the Fibonacci sequence. It's been too long since your last tool reaction
Tool is like if Pink Floyd and Rush had a baby. It is our generation Pink Floyd, (Gen X) Tool is in a genre of their own. Wonderful review! You got my sub. More Tool.
the fibonacci sequence is more notable in the syllables of the lyrics
I like what you said about the 80s. I grew up then. And I was not captivated by music as kid at all. Then my brother gave me his old albums from the 60s and 70s. I remember the thought I had word for word. "Oh, so music can actually be...good". Profound thoughts of a 10 year old.
I feel the same I was a kid in the 80's and was not that much impressed so started listening to punk and 60's and 70's didn't discover TOOL till '99 and then my whole world changed 🤣
The song that you never want to end! It is epic!
"alien sounding" deep tones at the end, pretty sure those are bass guitar slides
I’ve already watched two reactions of this song today… I might as well watch a third 😂 I love TOOL.
And yes, this was the Pink Floyd of the 90’s
2 lop it's 3am and ive been somehow watching these since about 10pm. Man ima loser.
It gets better every time i hear it
Couldn’t agree more. When I go without hearing it for a while I replay that chorus like 20 times! It’s so good
Was just thinking that myself, thought it's been a while since listening to this, but just gets better
Tool is second to none! One of my top favorite bands. The level of skill both musically and lyrically! I’m blessed to have experienced them 1st hand. Maynard is a genius hands-down. This band makes me happy!
One of the GREATEST comments made about a song!! 'That's How You Introduce A Fucken Track'!!
Great reaction! Now don’t take soo long to do the next TOOL reaction 😂
Milwaukee, WI - Halloween 2019 is when I got to see TOOL and it was a spectacle. I’ve never experienced anything so beautiful until that moment.
As stated by Danny Carey, the timing in the track (97 second, 55 seconds etc) was by pure chance and by no means intended to a be another reference to the sequence, just coincidence, the rest like time signatures, lyrics and so on were intended
My brother took me to see Tool back in 2002 in Baton Rouge, La. They were epic! This was his favorite song, and it has a very special place in my heart. My brother suffered from clinical depression, and on January 31, 2013 he filmed himself playing this song on his bass guitar that he loved so much to put on UA-cam. It would be his last performance. He took his life the very next day. I am his older sister by two years and we were extremely close. I will cherish his video, it's the last thing I have from him. Thanks for sharing this masterpiece! Peace! ✌🏼
may he rest easy. best of wishes to you and the music and memories will last forever
Yeah man, you oughta get Tool on your regular rotation. The growth of Maynard from angry Gen Xer to awareness and spirituality (and sometimes all 3) is an incredible journey to follow. Dive in. Spiral out.✌🏽
Follow the evolution of his stage costumes too… I find them to be a window into his perspective on his own growth
It draws you in before it spirals out
that deep alien noise I think you're referring to is Justin sliding on the bass. Gives me chills every time.
This is my favorite Tool song. I was lucky enough to see it live.
Checkout this cello group that covered this song. They are called Break of Reality. Cool video on UA-cam
Wow! How incredibly amazing that there is such brilliant music here for us to parttake of!
This, and 46 are their best achievements.
Been a huge Tool fan since their first album. Been addicted since. Not a day goes by without listening the them. They are my zen. 5 full length albums and 2 eps and not a bad song to be found on any of them. The only band I can pop in an album and not skip a song. And btw, Pink Floyd is a good comp in terms of creativity and feel. Cheers!
Yes but that Tool has become Pink Floyd is sad. Time stops for no one.
This song has a ton of subtle references. The first colors or shades we see as humans are black and white. As the juxtaposition of syllables to the fibbonaci sequence grows "red and yellow then came to be" our vision and perception of reality, our out ward perception as light reaches us, "reaching out to me, let's me see", grows and diminishes as does all life . I've always seen this song as a story of life and conscious existence. The appreciation for the experience. Recognizing that birth and death are a part of that journey. Our perception of reality is nil pre inception and nil after death as well. 0 being the first number of the sequence creates a conceptual beginning and end of the sequence not expressed vocally as there is an absence of experience or life.
Biology has taken this "ordering" or reality and used it to create spirals and fractals. One way of defining a fractal is an infinitely space filling curve. Thus we get nature and biology's developement of efficiency and optimization. Spirals use less resources in growth and optimize surface area for nutrient absorption. Fractals and spirals lead us to chaos theory and entropy. The golden ratio can be derived from the fibbonaci sequence and when plotted on a 2d surface creates a spiral.
There's a chaos to the universe but somehow our experiencing and observation of reality create a perception of order. Existence is the antithesis of nothingness. A defiant structuring of chaos, the bastion of existence against the ever stalking butler we call entropy. The spiral is the path of our journey as we sound the clarion call to the uncaring universe that "I am here, I exist". "Of your primordial soup I create a feast". Our Consciousness powered by life is the duality to the raw physics and building blocks of the universe. The dichotomy in complexity and ordering of existence and perception to the simplicity and chaos of space time.
I enjoyed this!
Literally overthinking and over analyzing.
What he said...
Whe that guitar solo comes I always stand up automatically
You are exactly right with the comparison to Pink Floyd. The way the songs are structured and layered is reminiscent. That's a comparison I made 20 or more years ago and I hear more making that comparison today. Great review of a great song. Keep 'em coming.
Keep doing TOOL. I'm here for it! Try The Grudge next by these guys. Love it.
THIS, in my opinion, is the greatest rock and roll song ever composed/performed. Why? Because I said so.
Brilliant song and reaction!
Nice one! Greetings from BC, CANADA.
Absorbing the Genius of 🛠️T⚙️⚙️L🛠️ makes us realize as individuals we can do more to reach each other 🙏 one mans opinion, keep spiraling out and enjoy the Amazing journey these gifted men offer us 👊
That riff though
im convinced the wub a lub at the begining is supposed to be a child's heartbeat through an ultrasound
The sequence is in the structure of the lyrics.
90s Pink Floyd, been saying that for 25 years and most people look at me like I'm nuts. I always thought I was spot on.
The Pink Floyd reference is spot on, man. To me TOOL are Floyd + Zeppelin + Rush. Layer upon layer of sound and meaning. I get why Maynard told Joe Rogan this song is a dick joke. 😁👌👍
I just commented this recommendation mins ago on one of your older post haha
The first "nugget" you spoke of was about the song beginning at 1:12 is interesting. The drop comes exactly at 1:13. Which I always thought was a reference to the album. There are 13 songs on Lateralus. 1 and 13 are Fibonacci numbers. Etc.
Im no expert at determining the time signature of Tool songs but it seems that Danny and Adam are in different time signatures, Danny's takes longer for the beat to repeat, and they synch up at the transitions.
You're a deep thinker, would love to see your take on Pearl Jam's "Do the Evolution", the song, lyrics, and video
Whatever will bewilder me helps me to stop overthinking
It’s about time dude lol
I like to call Tool:
Heavy Pink Floyd.
pink floyd, rush, tool....hopefully there's a fourth before my time is up
I’d add Led Zeppelin in there as with great reverence they absolutely destroyed, No Quarter
@@heyskipj i personally would not as lEd Zep ripped off most of their material (yes i know everyone rips everyone off but zep was off the charts with their rip offs)
@@Bushanie24 Led Zep the Milli Vanilli of metal? 😆
@@heyskipj kinda sorta in a roundabout way.
Yes Tool is the 90s Pink Floyd and what Floyd might have sounded like if they came around 30 years later. My favorite bands are the greatest prog bands: Pink Floyd (60s and 70s), Rush(70s and 80s), Tool(90s and 2000s).
As below so above, as above so below: The Alchemical Principal
TOOLARMY IS HERE! Nothing tops Tool in any genre. They are professors in the music game. 4 master musical aficionados who fire at all cylinders. It’s just more complex than anything I have ever heard. Go deeper-try “Reflection” or Zempest by Tool, if you will.💯👊
Lateralus Lyrics and The Fibonacci Sequence
Maynard structured and sung the lyrics using the first 7(1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13) numbers in the Fibonacci Sequence. Each number in the sequence denotes the amount of syllable(s) he sings before he adds a slight pause in his phrasing to (indicate/separate) the movement to the next number in sequence. The full pattern can be seen at the end.
(Please feel free to let me know if any mistakes or if I missed anything - I'll edit/update the post)
Section 1
[Verse 1]
Black - 1
Then - 1
White are - 2
All I see - 3
In my infancy - 5
Red and yellow then came to be - 8
Reaching out to me - 5
Lets me see - 3
[Pre-Chorus - He jumps straight to 13 breaking the pattern, making the first verse seem "incomplete"]
As below so above and beyond I imagine - 13
Drawn beyond the lines of reason - 8
Push the envelope - 5
Watch it bend - 3
Chorus and Post Chorus don't use the sequence
Section 2
[Verse 1 Repeated]
Black - 1
Then - 1
White are - 2
All I see - 3
In my infancy - 5
Red and yellow then came to be - 8
Reaching out to me - 5
Lets me see - 3
[Verse 2 - this "completes" the piece of the pattern that section 1 one was missing between V1 and the Pre-Chorus)
There is - 2
So - 1
Much - 1
More and - 2
Beckons me - 3
To look through to these - 5
Infinite possibilities - 8
[Pre-Chorus]
As below so above and beyond I imagine - 13
Drawn beyond the lines of reason - 8
Push the envelope - 5
Watch it bend - 3
*********
The pattern of the 2 sections looks like this:
Section 1
Verse 1 and Pre Chorus
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 5, 3 / 13, 8, 5, 3
Section 2
V1R/ V2/ PC
1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 5, 3 / 2, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8 / 13, 8, 5, 3
All love....
x-mas comes early bois.
I could be wrong, but to me this song sort of takes the piss out of the listener. (I'm not British.) Many of us go into this song studying the beats, syllables, and lyrics looking for the puzzle. Then comes the chorus to mock you. "Overthinking...Over...Separates the body from the mind" . Tool laughs at you mere Mortals, HA!
I can’t wait for Fear Innoculum
The facts at the end of the video barely scratch the surface, there's a bunch of other stuff spread across the rest of the album too.
Danny Carey new knick name should be 'THE ELEVATOR" !!! JS
I’d dabble in some Led Zeppelin on top of Pink Floyd. Especially since they paid tribute, and then absolutely destroyed No Quarter.
Their version of No Quarter is genius!
Do every Tool song
It's not written based on the fibonacci sequence. The 16th integer of that sequence is 987. So they used 9/8, 8/8, 7/8 time signatures throughout the song. They called the song "987" while recording.
So it has a fibonacci connection, but it's not based on it.
To be fair, Maynard does play with syllables a bit, matching, forward and backward, the beginning of the sequence. I'm over analyzing. Lol
This song came out in like '06 I think..
Don’t let the “Gematria” style number crunching fool you. It is far more likely those conclusions are coincidental rather than intentionally engineered into the song. Like people knowing 1.618 is the golden ratio (even though that is rounded, so not REALLY it) and then finding ways to interpret things in the song that appear to line up with that. If one were to manipulate their “math” enough they can find literally anything they want to think they should find. The only for sure intentional part was when Maynard wrote the lyrics, having the syllable count matching the earliest part of the Fibonacci sequence and the lyrical reference to the spiral, which is a visual way of representing the sequence.
Help us out by turning down the background music while you're speaking, it's hard to tune it out...for me anyway. Thx man great reaction!
Will do!
👍👍👍👍👍
🌀🌀🌀🧘🧘🧘🔥🔥🔥
Every tool fan should listen to Floyd..every Floyd fan should listen to tool👍👍👍😁😁😁
The math isn't really that complicated. As the song goes, it would be crazy to try and figure out what the Fibonacci Code is, other than Consciousness Itself. I am who am. There is order in the universe and order in this song, as random as it can be, seemingly. Spiral out. Thanks for your reactions.
If you really want to have your mind blown, look up the UA-cam video The Secrets of Fear Innoculum
You have to build yourself up to let yourself go.
90s Pink Floyd, eh? Interesting comparison. I like it.
Wachowski sisters, lol!
Yup, you're definitely not the first to call them the modern day Pink Floyd.... With long songs that are not in a hurry to start, that will also not get much radio play because of their length...
Great observation
Glad you got the irony!
Pink Floyd, Rush and Black Sabbath have a baby.
TOOL
where is the ok computer react? 😫😫😫
Separating the body and mind isn't necessarily bad.
Never heard of them before I may need to get some lyrics because I can't understand a single thing there saying.
Reading the lyrics is a great idea!
If you haven't experienced Tool before it is different. Other bands increase the volume of the vocals before releasing a song. Tool doesn't do that. They treat the singer as an equal part of the music so the vocals "seem" quieter, but it legitimately makes it harder to hear them.
The subject matter Tool covers in their songs can be layered and mixed with spirituality, enlightenment, humor, anger... at times simple or very complex. "The Pot" or "Right in Two" are good choices to hear the vocals better. Good luck!
Pink floyd on steroids!
Nirvana can't touch TOOL brother. These guys are their own genre.
I hope you listen to the stuff you're reacting to on REAL speakers on a good system...Headphones, while operating like little speakers, will NEVER let you feel the power of music like Tool, Sabbath, Genesis, et al. ... Nice reaction...Hopefully by now,, you've destroyed all your rap stuff...:)
Tool sucks! 80's hair band were more imaginative.
I suck!
you indeed do suck, ✨
