What’s really going to blow your mind is when you realize Danny only has 2 arms.
That fucking part!!!
A two armed octopus.
The octopus!!!
Not the octopus
Best comment ever made
The real question: how did you go 20 years without hearing Lateralus?
TEMPO: Danny, am I doing this correctly.
DANNY: NO
King of all RUclips comments.
Well done.
the tempo actually never changes, what does is the time signature. A LOT
@@mendronesg i just love music. simply put
OMG I am crying laughing.
Metronomes of the future will simply be called “Carey’s” and will be available wearing the local pro basketball jersey of choice.
21 years later and I’m still getting goosebumps. There’s no dumb luck with Tool. These guys are musical mathematicians.
Musical gods
Mathemagicians!
Likewise
Anomalies!
Yeah, when he said "dumb luck" at first, i thought he was gonna refer to himself for figuring it out cuz i just knew he wasnt talking bout TOOL. 😆😆😆
"Overthinking overanalyzing, separates the body from the mind" 👍 kinda like what you did in the reaction haha
I KNEW he would! I have been following DH since 3 weeks into his channel, I KNEW this was coming! Been looking forward to this song coming up. I knew it was.
I don't think that's the intended context, but everyone sure loves to mention it.
@@toodrunktotastethischicken Everyone who quotes Tool lyrics in comment sections think they’re clever… it’s the equivalent of a child learning a new word and constantly repeating it out of context - Cute, but annoying.
@@RDB93 People who generalize and include an individual into another supposed "group" of individuals judged solely upon a singular quote of someone else's words tossed into the wind, surely is stringing their own insecurities on the drying line for all to see. In this case using the example of someone answering the reactor's spoken question about the lyrics. Did you even watch or are you just trying to make yourself feel superior on the back of another? :) 16:35 or so
Maybe I'm overthinking, over-analyzing, and separating bodies from minds etc, but why be an asshole to people for no reason?
@@RDB93 shhhhh
During that long interlude, when we're explicitly being told to feel the rhythm and feel connected, they are literally combining two rhythms that are off from each other by a beat. This causes the hi-hat, and then the snare to sound like they are drifting backward in the sequence, which of course means they come back around and line up correctly every few cycles. This song is Tool's final exam for Tool fans. They tell you to embrace it, while pushing reality through itself, and if you can manage to do it, you will witness the beauty, and fathom the power, and bathe in the fountain.
Spiral out brother! Keep going
@@windozxpert I'm riding it for as long as I can, no matter how weird the trip gets.
The Tool paradox: Every Tool song is better than every other Tool song.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Your favourite tool song is the last one you heard
Lateralous is their masterpiece IMO
@@thesecdef4865 Couldnt agree more!
This album should in an art museum. It's something else.
I do, truly, believe it's one of the most perfectly created albums ever. From composition, to emotion, to lyrical poetry, to art and theming, all the way into FLAWLESS audio quality, it's truly a masterwork and basically a creative peak of what could be considered "rock" music.
A prime specimen!
@@PeteOliva Alex Gray?
YES. 😊
TooL will be re-combed over, re-dissected & remembered for long after we’re all gone. They have given us this beautiful thing that we only know we love. Understanding it is to become a notch better than we were before hearing each song each time. Expanding our own capabilities to “push our own envelope” within this life so that we can continue our journey towards a pure soul…thus “spiraling out” or growing into our own.
Ok. Now listen to it with headphones and close your eyes and just enjoy it.
It always amazes me how I was listening to this in the 90s and 2000s and people are just now being mind blown by tool lol
I’ve been listening to this album for 20 years and it’s still as good as day one. I’ve actually learned more about it recently from all the reaction vids.
Some drumming parts from Danny are among the most complicated he ever performed on any album before or since .
Me too
Damn, I just realized that the guitar line follows the Fibonacci sequence too. Starts off hitting the root twice, plays around on the second to land on the third, then goes to the fifth before hitting the octave.
Yes and the progression follows the sequence as well!!! 🤯✌🏻
It's a victim of it's own brilliance - once you get a few listens in, it won't lose you and you will revel in it's brilliance....This is truly a modern day masterpiece. Musical schools will be studying this song in 100 years.
When I clicked on the video I was wondering how in the hell the video was going to be 45 minutes long. Then I watched your brain break. Then I watched you attempt to resist your natural urge to count. Then I watched you slowly cave into your own obsession with counting. Then I realized why this video is 45 minutes. Love it lol. Its fantastic to watch someone not only be so into the song and impressed by its complexity, but to understand it enough to understand why they dont FULLY understand it. Great reaction and overanalyzing:)
So happy you got to finally hear this my dude. The greatest album of all time. Literally a soundtrack for healing, this album changed my life. The whole thing is a 10.
Same.
same
Saved my life many times... Lateralus will go with me the day i go into the ground man. Absolutely the greatest collective piece of music ive ever heard in my nearly 40 years of life and im 100% sure that will never change.
Same
Same. Flipped my life upside-up
"I Just blew my own mind" was a joy to see you blew a fuse on this.
Good tool reaction MUST include counting, that's why we are here for.
More tool David, more tool.
More Tool David, more Tool !
Tool isn't just music it's alchemy.
No matter how many times I hear this masterpiece, tears are streaming down my face at the end. Even with the pauses, still happens.
Seen this song live 2 times in 2001 still the best live song I have ever seen so magical
@@user-db3ek3lw4yseen it live 2 times in 2001 also seen tool 9 times this is still there best song it is amazing live wish they still played it don't know why they stopped
In fear innoculm the word mitosis splits the song directly in half. Pure genius
Oh wow how genius… 🙄
This song sounds just as awesome now as it did 20 yrs ago...playlist regular. Love it when Danny hits that high-hat light as a feather, on top of the baseline. Chills bro
This must be the funniest reaction to Lateralus ever. I have no clue about music patterns, never had, but this whole album spoke to my mind, body and soul when it was released and it still does, knowing a bit more about music patterns and what not. =)
Rather than monotonous, the time signatures become hypnotic, drawing you further into the spiral!
Sometimes I wonder if it draws you in... Or, somehow, sonically feels tantalizingly JUST out of reach...
While in the Tool pit (mosh pit at any 90’s Tool concert), that was known as the flesh grinder. Can actually hear the bones and muscle crushing together while being drilled in a circular fashion. Pure pleasure and pain…
Maynard would agree. He even said on Joe Rogan that he wasn't impressed, himself, because he thought it was too blatant and "sophomoric".
Yes indeed. I caught that too.
That was 45 minutes? Felt like 5
Tool is brilliance on a whole other level. I’ve always been intrigued by tool and their sheer brilliance.
Now to really blow your mind. The base of the song is 5/8. However, during the chorus they repeat a cycle of a single measure of 9/8 one of 8/8 and one of 7/8 before repeating that pattern 3 times.
The 9/8,8/8,7/8 cycle is another reference to the Fibonacci Sequence with 987 being the 16th number in the sequence.
Then let’s mention that at the beginning of the song, the first verse begins at 1min 37 seconds. Converted into a decimal it reads 1.618 “The Golden Ratio”. 🤯
Maynard is a lyrical genius in more than one way.
Brilliant reaction. Loved it when you started to move your head in circular motion just as MJK started singing about the spiral .. Excellent review man.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video.
I don't know if anyone mentioned it, but the chorus is 9/8, 8/8, 7/8 sequence.
So cool. Also, it's cool that 987 is a number in Fibonacci itself! An accident or not the pieces fit!
I've thoroughly enjoyed watching you explore Tool!
Lateralus is probably the peak creative point of rock music in terms of what every single discipline that goes into making an album can possibly achieve.
I still think to this day lateralas is the best album ever made I loved apc mer de noms but lateralas is perfection from start to finish
Tool play everything in drop d it is a guitar at the start, there's also more than just the syllables of the song that are part of the sequence the song uses the time signatures 9/8, 8/8, 7/8, 987 is a number in the sequence the songs working title was 987 which is where the idea to use the sequence came from, from the wiki:
The time signatures of the chorus of the song change from 9/8 to 8/8 to 7/8; as drummer Danny Carey says, "It was originally titled 9-8-7. For the time signatures. Then it turned out that 987 was the 16th number of the Fibonacci sequence. So that was cool."
Yeah almost all in drop D some in B
If any song deserves a 9.9, it’s this one. As close to perfect as it gets
It's one of those very rare songs that i never get bored listening to. It's always engaging.
I am normally not one to enjoy seeing people suffering, but this was highly entertaining! Lateralus has always been my favourite Tool song (and album, for that matter) and yes, it’s a bit too clever for its own good, but what a superb piece of music! And your comment ‘THAT’S NOT GONNA FIT! THAT’S NOT GONNA FIT! Oh, it fits.” is arguably the most accurate description of hearing Danny’s drumming for the first time I’ve come across so far!
I'm absolutely cracking up watching this. "What?!?!?!?! OMG my head." As a classical musician there have been so many times that I've looked at a chart and my brain has broken. To watch you listen, without the visual, and sort this all out is a complete testament to your skill. Thanks for making my day. Ride the spiral to the end ;)
FEELIN' YOU Mary!!!
i love this . you driving your self crazy trying to count and over analyzing you becoming a butt of a joke . this trap was designed for you , almost custom fitted . :D :D :D .
I thought i knew this masterpiece through and through but it was like watching caged tiger in a zoo . Only by watching it devouring its prey without mercy i finally could appreciate magnificence of the beast in its glory !!!!!!
THANKS MATE ! YOU MADE MY DAY !
My music ineptitude rewards me on songs like this. I can listen and enjoy the song while being oblivious of the extreme technicality and genius that is going on underneath. Sometimes ignorance IS bliss =)
What I like about you reacting to this song is a lot of reaction channels the people aren't musicians. You being a musician, you can really appreciate the complexities and intricacies of how this song is structured. You're able to break it down and talk about certain things other people might overlook. Danny Carey really is mind boggling on the drums.
P Jam - That's one of the reasons I really like this channel too. You should also check out the channel "Key of geebz". The dude is a composer and musical arranger and reacts to a lot of similar stuff. I swear he always looked baked though😂
@@gmon78 Yep, I watch him too.
You don’t know that it’s not just the lyrics. The time signature is 9/8 8/8 7/8 987 is a Fibonacci number. The first lyric is sang at 1.68 minutes or 1:37. 1.618 is the golden ratio.
And there's still more to it
💥
This is the best song on the best album ever written. 20 plus years later still puts tears in my eyes
Here's the kicker. While your brain is still recovering check this out. In a recent interview with Joe Rogan, Maynard now feels that his lyrics are stupid in this song, essentially calling it a "dick joke". 😳
He feels pointing out the sequence with lyrics was overkill and too easy, seeing as how the band was already doing it in their time signatures.
The fact Maynard doesn't thing this song is smart isn't surprising. I have to say I very much disagree with him on that. He wouldn't be Maynard if he was satisfied with something, though.
I think Maynard and the rest of Tool for that matter know they created a work of genius with this song and like most masters of their crafts they tend to criticise their own work, even when said with a pinch of salt which Maynard invariably does. Cobain used to pull the same stunt.
Adam Jones is GREAT for getting full effects to his sound. Playing between octaves, using 2 amps to get a fuller sound helps the Tool sound Jones said. One guitarist for their sound doesn't work without the doubled up amps and Jones' talent at chord arrangements and NOT staying within the box and Circle of Fifths. He'll take us outside and blow our minds!
I'm back with another drum transcription! For anyone as mezmurized by Danny Carey's drumming as I am, check out my active drum transcription of this song: ruclips.net/p/PLeaK9tcJzll3J89tut-aSN91hmXLrOwL8
Good god , this is the first time I have ever heard this song. Damn, and I thought Rush and Frank Zappa made music that was hard to perform!😵
Just stopping by 10 months later to say this is one of my favorite things I've ever seen. 🤯😎❤
Beginning of the song: Just verse, chorus, verse, chorus. No big deal.
End of song: I'm tapping out. My head hurts.
Another mesmerized new Tool Army recruit. I love watching newbies reactions. Every instrument, note & lyrics is vital to the experience.
A 45 min vid 🔥
Let’s go
Verse: 5/8
Chorus/"solo": 9/8, 8/8, 7/8
Intro + "Bridge"/Ending: 6/8
987 is another Fibonacci number lol
@@Comrade.Question Lateralus:
·has 9 letters in it's name
·is the 9th song of the album
·is around 9 minutes long
"Over-thinking, over-analyzing separates the body from the mind."
Get ready to give it a 9.9 when you listen to the song checking the lyrics out.
I don't completely disagree with Maynard's current opinion that the song goes overboard and is too obvious, but it's still my favorite Tool song and I think it's objectively flawless in terms of the construction and mix. I also admire that he can still be critical of a song that people have been telling him is perfect for two decades. Most people would just accept the ego boost.
Tool, Pink Floyd and The Black keys are three bands that when they play music you can feel it in your blood and bones
ha, ha, ha...I love his red face when he is ofusced, emotioned or focused in something.
the fibonacci sequence goes way harder in this song then you saw in this reaction. keep listening. count outside just the rhythms. this song embodies “spiraling out”
You have unlocked the next level in your tool journey..you may now use "spiral out" as a greeting/salutation
It's like aloha..it is good for everyone...
Spiral out bro...
Dude, this is the second reaction vid I have seen of you and I am totally delighted. I just subscribed and love the deep insights you give. I am a little amazed that this was scored higher than pneuma (by tool) which is the other reaction I saw from you, but what the hell. Good on you. I love your passion and insight.
David. I am usually here to write Lovebites comments but let me say this.
I throughly enjoyed your reaction. I think this episode is the best! How entertaining!
I didn’t know about Tool, not to mention Fibonacci sequence at all.
I felt as if this whole reaction is a Zen riddle.
In order to fully appreciate this song, you have to be very knowledgeable about things like theory of music and mathematics.
On the other hand, having that very knowledge, you can’t really fully enjoy the song because you can’t help but thinking deeply about the mechanics of the song (like you couldn’t help but count)
On the other hand, people like me without much knowledge about theories of music or mathematics feel that they could enjoy the song fully. however that is impossible because they have no knowledge about things like Fibonacci sequence.
Only I can say is, I enjoyed your reaction fully! My mind was blown too!
I loved this comment almost as much as I loved this reaction lol.
❤️
It's been a while ....enjoy and spiral out!
Your face turned so red during this video! Haha. I bought the Lateralus album the day it came out and I know exactly what you meant when you were talking about getting lost a few times during the song but still finding your way back. I'm sure a lot of Tool fans can relate. The extra layer of beauty of this song is that after spending time with it, you get to a point when you not only never get lost again, you can also hone in on any one thing a band member is doing like just the drum fills or just certain bass notes and no matter what you choose to focus on, you never miss a beat and never feel like you're about to be steered off course because everything will just sound natural. I'm by no means as knowledgeable about music and music theory as you are, so it was to great to hear your take on this track and hear you explain things that I understood in my own way after years of listening to this song even if I wasn't ever able to explain them musically like you can, if that makes sense.
That whole Lateralus album is amazing 💯
Apc mer de noms and tool lateralus is the 2 greatest albums of all time and I will fight anyone over that fact
Lateralus is, hands down, my favorite album of all time.
Back around 2005 my friend turned me onto a bunch of books while we were discussing spirituality. The ideas resonated with me. What they didn't tell me is that they were from Maynard's reading list. I had read these before I ever really listened to Tool. I found the band by accident while killing time at Best Buy, I saw Alex Grey's artwork on the cover and I remembered liking a song of theirs on the radio years before(46 & 2). After hearing the lyrics, Lateralus was like a church hymn. I had to go back and listen to his entire body of work. If anyone is interested in the book titles, leave a comment.
I'm interested!
Interested too
"Ancient Secrets of the Flower of Life" by Drunvalo Melchezdik(probably butchered the name)and "Nothing in this book is true, but it's exactly how things are" by Bob or Bill Frissell.
@@nikoaz cheers bro. Ride the spiral to the end, friend. We meet in what lies beyond for a cool glass of celebration lemonade 🥂
Tool is just something else, a band of its own kind
If any member of the Tool Army gave you grief for wanting to re-listen to any parts of their tracks, they can have a word with me.
This song is perfection.
Late to the party, you are so good at what you do. 😉
FEELIN' YOU Laura!!!
Lol yup, I've rewatched this reaction several times
Hey, we didn't hear any pig noises, so everyone agrees you can go back! ;)
No true Tool fan would ever bitch about re-listening.😁😎
As I listen to your review, I can't help but think of the incredible catalog of mind blowing songs that Tool has. Granted, this song may be the most complex of theirs. Although, that is debatable, I'm sure. May I suggest "10,000Days/Wings for Marie", "Parabol/Parabola", and "Ticks and Leeches" as possible reactions. Each song is different from each other, but is inexplicably Tool.
Whatever you do please be sure to listen the songs below together:
1. Parabol/Parabola
2. Eon Blue Apocalypse/The patient
3. Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned
4. Disposition, reflection, Triad
5. Intermission/Jimmy
6. useful idiot/46&2
Thank you in advance 💖 subbed for Tool...great reactions!!
Vicarious needs to be next!!!
Those "drums" building up in the intro are actually a recording of a bird's heartbeat! 👍🏻😉
David need more TOOL on your channel. Please react to the entire discography. 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞✌ You'd be hard pressed to find a bad TOOL track. ✌
Watching you react to this song makes me realize the difference between just a plain lover of good music and a musician that habitually counts notes and patterns, analyses of every song. First time I heard this song as a layman, I was able to absorb all the aspects of the song without thinking too much; lyrics and vocals, and instruments, the entirety of the song, and I was able to FEEL the song because it is so sonically pleasing to my ears. It was an EXPERIENCE to behold, a journey of thoughts and visuals to say the least. Being high also enhanced the experience. LOL So I felt a little sad for you that weren't able to feel the way I felt when I first heard this song, but then again, I also understand that we're all different with our own unique levels of intelligence and perception based on our own individual life experiences. With that said, I'm sure you'll listen again and again, and you'll reach a point where you'll just be able to enjoy the song in it's entirety without breaking it all the way down. I have to say though, Maynard's genius lyrics makes me think about so many humanity related things. That is kind of a mindfuck in itself, because I often tend to "over think" about the plight of mankind, and I get a little lost, 'separating my body from my mind.' Meditation and a long walk tends to bring me back around. Thanks for reacting to this song. A 9.6 rating is very respectable.
"I just blew my own mind." I laughed out loud at that.
ive had this guy talking by my ear late at night evey evening this week. love listening to you react to my favorite songs. i actually laugh
The Fibonacci sequence is more than in the lyrics my man. Not going to deep here but google it because it's everywhere in the song. One of my favorite things is from an interview, and I'm not sure which member said it but when asked why the length of the song isn't in the Fibonacci sequence. The response in classic TOOL fashion was "You can't follow all the rules." which is what the song is about essentially.
Great reaction David!
This whole song is about the Spirill Universe.
"Black then white are all I see in this infancy.
Red then Yellow then came to be. Reaching out to me. Let's me see." The Stars in the Galaxy! 🤯
Over thinking, over analyzing -- people getting lost in the Fibonacci stuff perfectly illustrates Maynard's point
Funny how I can't find a single person that has mentioned that Maynard himself said the Fibonacci thing was a complete accident, they only realized after the song was written.
After listening to tool for over 35 years I'm still not convinced Danny is even a human but an alien from another planet
Epic reaction video and pretty much sums up every time I listen to Tool. 23 years and counting and still blowing my mind wide open. It's as if I can't listen properly to anyone else after Tool, they seem to make anyone else inferior and I really don't want that to sound as harsh as it sounds. An individual will know when they were born to listen to Tool, you don't find them, they find you.
Welcome to the Danny Carey "Tool" drum rabbit hole. Danny is brilliant at doing fills in odd time signatures and making them not sound odd.
That was basically my expression when I first heard this song. BROKEN!!!!!!! You just earned a sub!
"As above, so below, and beyond, I imagine." That's 13...
"Drawn outside the lines of reason." That's 8...
"Push the envelope." That's 5...
"Watch it bend." That's 3...
Universal mathematical paradoxical insanity...that's why I love TOOL...I really love this particular title too, Lateralus, the nature of being across two positions (to be laterally connected, like a lateral pass in American football) and the lyrics clearly portray the "Across" between emotion and logic, which is what we are...reminds me of Nietzsche in Thus Spoke Zarathustra, "Man is a rope between beast and over-man. A dangerous across, a dangerous looking back, a stopping and stuttering. But what is best in man is that he is not an end, but a path." (Paraphrased)...
Not my favourite Tool song (That's The Grudge), but probably their greatest achievement. Makes my Top 3 after Pushit (Live from Salival that you did a reaction to)
Third Eye and Push it are just phenomenal on Salival . Masterpieces
9.6 Baby!! Thanks for making this video. SO Good! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Not only the syllables divisione follow the Fibonacci sequence, but also the duration of the song, the time in seconds when the various parts of songs begin ( when the singing starts for example), the time signature and the lyrics itself. Everything in this song is based on Fibonacci or the golden ratio. It's an amazing display of compositional skill.
Not based on it. Just happened that way, and someone outside of the band pointed it out. The whole idea for the riff of this song was Justin’s.
@@thisfall5227 It was only a case initially when the song was called 789 based on the time signature changes. Then when they noticed that it was a Fibonacci number and realized that it could be interesting, they built everything else around the sequence. It's not random at all
If any reactor ever embodied “spiraling out” your reaction here nails it lol. Spiral out indeed
I love to come back to this every few months and watch your brain break Dave LOL! Fantastic reaction man. Spiral out indeed.
Same, lol
Still here......”and then they go backwards!?!” LOL.
This was my favourite Tool song and my favorite song for a long time
That was a great reaction! 💯
Spiral Out Brother! 🤘🏻🌀🤘🏻🌀🤘🏻
The whole song is about losing yourself to your own logic and overanaylisis. It's meant to listened to and enjoyed, not analyzed.
Actually hes not saying to not over analyze and over think, hes saying TO overanalyze and overthink it because it separates the body from the mind.
@@im_in_immense_pain the following lines are how doing so withers intuition and leaves opportunities behind.. not sure it’s so clear cut as you’re saying.
@@MetalliBucket oh yeah i forgot about that part my bad
@@im_in_immense_pain no
@@im_in_immense_pain separating the body from the mind is not a good thing. over analyzing and over thinking splits yourself and removes your mind from the physical realm - all bad things if you want to be a self-connected and present human being.
Dude it just gets better each time you listen to it, one you've got the song memorized you can just feel the pulse and go with it much easier.
Oh man...this was painful to watch. I loved it.
Thanks for the honesty, dude. You've made it. You survived an almost 10 minutes long song
Tool reminds me of Steve Vai. Brilliant. But so complex at times it’s hard to enjoy. I love odd time signatures I can eventually find the “groove” to but sometimes tool is so odd just for the sake of being odd. It doesn’t work for me. But they have some tracks that are freaking awesome. Vicarious is one that I absolutely love
Dale - I pretty much agree with all of that. It's wankiness for the sake of wankiness. Not the amazing next level shit Tool fans claim it to be. Got to be one of the most toxic fandoms in music. Anyone who doesn't agree that Maynard is the second coming of Jesus is automatically treated like a pleb while they look down their noses at you claiming you're not intelligent enough to get it. Really grinds my gears.
@@gmon78 pleb
@@creepy_assassin6234 Given a choice between that and obnoxiously obsessive Tool fan, I reckon i can live with it.

genuinely surprised when metalheads haven't heard TooL but glad when they do
Love how you got more pink as the song went on.
I have listened to this song every day for the last 10 years. It's my ceremonial evening toke track. Perfect to drift off to. Center yourself. This is and might always be my favorite song.
Good lord that is impressive
"I like long songs and this is a long song." Meanwhile, 7empest.... ;)
Hint hint
The section from 29:00 on to the end (especially with Maynard's incredible vocal performance/circular breathing or whatever the fuck he is doing) is the most incredible section to listen to on headphones. The way they create the sound, combined with the way it is mixed and produced - man you really ride that spiral the whole way out.
Edit: Love the way your head starts physically spiralling from 31:45
I just spent 45 minutes watching someone spiral out. Best use of time I can think of :)
Loving your Tool reaction mate, can you react to “Right in two”
This album is an absolute Godsend! Spiral out my friend!
This is just one example of why there will NEVER be another Tool I need 😏
This track, the subdivisions ohhh myyy,
This was gold
Thank you for helping me hear the patterns that make this song so mind blowing.
