In this edition of #thedailydoug, I'm returning to the music of Tool by listening to Rosetta Stoned. This song just keeps coming at you, with earthy riffs and rhythmic complexity...all while Maynard is spinning a fantastical tale of aliens near Area 51. This is a wild and amazing piece!

I finally got to see them play Lost Keys / Rosetta Stoned at the Dallas show a couple weeks ago. My life is complete.
Man, I almost cried when I heard lost keys start...
@@beauwille2294same. Almost shit my pants
Lost keys too?? Lucky bastard! They just jumped into Rosetta stoned when I saw them recently.
Same dude. Bucket list song for me.
Yeah, we got it in Loveland, and it was amazing.
This is one of Danny’s greatest moments hands down.
thanks to this song I know how to play a 5/8 over 3/4 polyrhthym
Greatest song ever written. Devastating power
Lifts you up like a Child!
….Or drags you down like a stone
They are the modern day Boston😂in regards to their album output and kinda how it’s so meticulously put together. Studio wizardry at its finest.
I'm not sure you've ever made note of the guitar tone. Adam takes Les Paul tone to another level. So thick and so heavy.
I used to go to their website nearly every day. The writers and creators of the site aren't in the band. For the news feed one day, there was a really long story about hanging out at area 51 and something really crazy happened to them. Then when the album came out, this song parodies that story. Maynard is picking on these guys in this song, which I'm sure are his friends, but there is a seriousness buried in it. They were definitely high, so imagine being the person who really believes this happened to them. Better yet, you can't remember what the aliens said to save the world because you were too high and forgot your pen, typical. 😛
I ride uber fast motorcycles and with this in my ears it's literally impossible to ride the speed limit. It wasn't your coffee Doug...
This song is so wow
For yourself-you gotta go back and listen with the pre-song “lost keys”
Es todo un viaje esta canción, querido Doug. No sé si impresionan más las letras o la música en sí. Gracias por traer tu visión de esta canción!
Oh yeah!
This was NOT your first listening to this piece of music :D
Omg he didn't play Lost Keys first.... 😲
Almost bagpipes indeed that solo is guttural!
Really need to listen to Lost Keys as the interlude leading into the song.
***SPOILER***
So thrilled this is part of the setlist of the current tour.
Also, because I know you like to figure these things out, the Wiki says this song uses 4/4, 5/8, 5/4, 9/8, 11/8, 3/4, and 6/4 time signatures. So, a lot, even for Tool.
Already listened new song Billy Joel. Like to know your opinion.
I think it misses something.
That section immediately after the guitar solo and buildup that starts with the “Overwhelmed as one would be…” is one of my all-time favorite Tool moments. Such a satisfying payoff to all the elements of the song that had been building from the beginning.
This is my favorite section in all of Tool's discography.
Justin's bassline in that with the changing intervals is one of my absolute favourite parts he's ever came up with! It's so simple but the deployment of it and its context after all the intense, locked in parts - it's so spacey and post-rock and other than a bit of chorus and stuff I LOVE how clean they keep it too!!
Been listening to this song for 18 years and it still gives me chills every single time
mine too my friend, mine too.
You all stole the words out of my mouth! I'm not alone!
Another note on the title of the album is the lyric "10,000 days in the fire is long enough" in the song Wings for Marie. Maynard's mother, Judith Marie, suffered a stroke in 1976 which left her partially paralysed and with nerve pain until her death 27 years later.
Edit: Typo in the year
that song makes me cry every time I listen to it 😅 (I always listen to both parts)
Yep. Came here to say the same thing.
*1976
@@higgledypiggledycubledy8899 Same here. What a powerful tribute.
I've always seen 10,000 days as a rebuttal to the message of Judith by A Perfect Circle. Both songs discuss Maynard's mother Judith Marie and her battle with terminal sickness. While Judith is all about how foolish she is for remaining faithful despite her illness, Wings for Marie/10,000 Days is a tribute to her strength. "Fetch me the spirit the son and the father, tell them their pillar of faith as ascended." Judith looks at her faith a different way. "Oh so many ways for me to show you how your savior has abandoned you" and "He did this.
took all you had and left you this way. Still you pray, you never stray."
I feel Maynard needed to write a tribute to his mother after such a condemning, angry track he had described her in. He did this masterfully with 10,000 Days and it's one of my favorite examples of repentance and change. "Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance, burden of proof tossed upon non-believers. You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence.
Judith Marie, unconditional one."
The song is prefaced by "Lost Keys" which shows our character in an emergency room following this event that he's explaining in this song initially to a doctor. After explaining the event he is found to have suffered a psychotic episode by the doctor and sent to a psychiatric hospital where he continues to struggle with the memory of the event. In the end of the song he repeats, "but I forgot my pen, Shit the bed again" referencing that he could have been the hero of the story, saving humanity, but instead is now locked up in a psychiatric ward and unable to control his faculties or mind due possibly to psychosis, prevalent in Schizophrenia, or the medications given to him to treat the psychosis. And incredibly dark and well told story. Great work Tool!
Haha well said my friend 🇦🇺
psychosis from DMT
i think its a reference to all prophets which has no proof that god exists they all forgot the pen and died before proving that god exists that means shit the bed he is dead he shithimself
@@firatcantatarka671Exactly. Except shitting the bed means forget something or screwing up.
It could also be a retelling of a particularily intense trip on the drug DMT with which it's common (allegedly) to experience profound religious visions and stuff like meeting aliens or thinking you're now the messiah and saviour of mankind. And once the drug wears off you lose memory of what exactly happened, which is why the protagonist should have brought a pen. :) And maybe if you trip too hard you'll also end up shitting yourself quite literally.
Doug would easily win in an air drumming contest. He's extremely accurate.
My favorite Tool song. To me it has everything I want out of that band and has every single thing I love about them.
Saw them play this in concert a couple weeks back it was FUCKING SPECTACULAR couldn’t believe what I was witnessing🤯every bit of the show was outstanding and perfect(just like Rush)while sounding NOTHING like them the light show and visuals were amazing 🤘🖖✌️🥁🎸🎤🎸
MSG? I was there too, 100% agreed
My favorite thing with you is that you don't stop during the songs. You let it play out, and let yourself immerse. It's my major gripe with a lot of reaction influencers. Cheers.
Most of the time they stop to avoid copyright strikes.
Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending. To write it down for all to see but
I forgot my pen.
That lyric still gives me massive goosebumps.
Sure hope at least Lost Keys precedes it, extra credit for Lipan Conjuring in to Lost Keys in to Rosetta Stoned!! Rosetta needs at least Lost Keys for better context!
They did that too in concert
As they should!! LOL@@ZIG4ZAG20
John Kew did a drum cover of this, it’s nice that we get to see what it looks like. Even more impressive was the separate video where he broke it all down because he had a hard time figuring it out.
Short version: “What time signature is this?”
“Yes”
That's funny
He has the best drum covers on RUclips. His The Grudge cover still blows my mind
You stole the words out of my mouth!
As skilled of a drummer when he said it took MONTHS to get it down blew my mind... but also didn't
He plays the tabla/solo section in a different way and it's pretty cool and is a cool lick to practice. Tool's trippiest section of music I'd wager
"It's gotta be a drug trip."
He says on the first line that he's on X, DMT, and a sugar rush, doing yoga in the desert.
Drugs? I just heard a man who needs orange slices and needle spooning. NO DRUGS?
My favorite explanation is that its from the perspective of a fan meeting their favorite band:Tool
@@EggarsTheJerk Fetal spooning.
@@EggarsTheJerk *Fetal spooning
Think about, Led Zeppelin's entire career could fit with the timespan between Tool's last two albums.
"Lost Keys (blame Hofmann)" sets the context of this guy being brought in to the hospital, unable to speak and not knowing who he is, and at the end the doctor asks "tell me everything..." and then this track begins, wherein he definitely tells them everything. Also the beginning is still very frantic and under the influence and as it goes along he gets more and more lucid and aware of his real surroundings, as the psychedelics continue to wear off and "the message" he was meant to convey fades. "Deadhead chemistry" would indicate LSD (ala the Grateful Dead) but many think it is more like a DMT trip since there are references to self-evacuation which is not necessarily common with LSD. Although at least one of those references was indeed the other meaning of "catastrophic failure" as you correctly caught. But since Hofmann was a discoverer of LSD that strengthens the acid hypothesis.
One of the first phrases in Rosetta Stoned is 'yogi dmt' so..
My all time favorite song by them. If you really wanna extrapolate the drums, check out John Kew’s drum cover of it. A ferocious drummer in his own right, he says it’s the hardest song by Tool he’s ever taken on.
OMG I'm so happy to see this! Rosetta stoned is so underrated, as is the entire 10k album.
"Uncle Martin" is a reference to "My Favorite Martian" sitcom from the 60's. "Uncle Martin" was an alien disguised as a human.
"Dave" that floated away was one of Terrence McKenna's research team in the Amazon when they were exploring hallucinogens.
Wow nailed it on the head with 1 listen
see when they say this much in a song you know they are saying nothing much, basically yes its a DMT trip
An outrageously brilliant song. I adore that gloriously hypnotic bassline that kicks in around 10:48 & perfectly underpins the trippy solo.
Pretty sure 10k days is in reference to the amount of time his mother lived after her stroke.
One of my all time favourite songs! Great reaction as always, just a shame the sound quality (vocals especially) where muted 😢
This Track also proves that Maynard ( Vocals) has a wicked sense of Humor!
I love how you always have the lyrics. And you also picked up on the premise of the song real quick.
"I think I would shit myself if this happened to me....high or not!" had me laughing out loud.
Greetings from Kansas City! Lost Keys/Roseta Stoned in one of my favorites. Spiral out.
Should listen to Lost Keys first
Niner fan here. Pretty bummed, (congrats) but I get to see Tool tonight! So that helps soften the blow. I hope they play this song!!
They will. They have been playing it this tour. I saw them in Charlotte last month, they played it then. It's a good show, you'll enjoy it for sure.
Rock out!
In Fresno right!
My favourite Tool album by damned far... EPIC.
You should really give The Smile’s new album: Wall of Eyes a listen. The band is led by Radiohead lead singer Thom Yorke and fellow guitarist/strings/composer Johnny Greenwood. It is a great listen, IMO!
I love Tool and them being as creative as they are, use the 10,000 Days title to first reference the orbit of Saturn, but also how astrologically it aligns to the 27 club myths ... whats not to love!
I've always figured the ppl of the 27 club had a rough return to Saturn. You're the only other person I know of that's made that connection.
...but is referring to the amount of time Maynard's mother lived with the effects of a stroke.
Tool is HEAVY Pink Floyd
you have to check out tesseract - eden!! their most tool sounding track!! so good tool fans loves tesseract!!
I have been waiting for this reaction for literally years lmao. This is easily my favorite Tool song, I find I can't get into too much of their stuff but this song? This song is SO much fun and I love it so much
Reactions are lame
Please, please try Sleep token. Anything by them. They have tool influences, but are multi genre in each song, and musicians love them. Thank you!
I agree with you. Doug definitely needs to go down the Sleep Token rabbit hole. You can hear the Tool influence for sure. As well as Pink Floyd in the story telling
Ain't NUTHIN like TOOL bro. No other band even comes close.
Needed to start with Lost Keys.
Just enjoy the video man
Hey Doug! You should react to Crystal Mounatin by the band death, one of the most influential bands of all time with a singer/guitar writer with a truly unique approach to music. I do think you have to get used to the vocals but I believe you’ll love how the song is played out and the overall musicianship within the song! And it’s not just thing song that sets itself apart from everything else. They have 7 studio albums and not a single one is a flop. Each album possessed something new and has a different theme. In the future, flesh and the power it holds in the sound of perseverance album should have a definite listen.
Doug you've lost the keys mate
LMAO so true he needs to do Lost Keys
I love playing this song in my car. It also rocks at 4am when getting ready for work. Better than a cup of coffee. Ny the way,I have the same reaction everytime I play this song. Like a workout.
It’s been a long week. Finally got to listen to this beauty. Thanks Doug!!
If anyone needs any orange slices and fetal spooning, let me know. 😂😂
My favorite Tool song, such a banger. I love all of the references hidden in the lyrics.
I saw them perform this live last October. Like all their songs they did that night it was incredible. So impressive Maynard can pull off the intro live. I guess I should have figured he could do it but was jaw-dropping to witness in person.
in my top 3 tool workout songs
Sure you've heard this a million time Doug, but Tool are almost always in D because they use Drop-D tuning on the guitar. This means that two of the open strings will be D. This makes certain guitar playing techniques possible that would otherwise be almost impossible,. Great Show!
Hey Dr.Doug!! What part of Kansas City did you live in? I am a veteran of Gladstone, and Overland Park. Lawrence, Ks as well. Stepfather is an associate professor at KU
If someone hasn't said it yet, you really should have listened to the "Lost Keys" intro.
The build up of all the consciousness enlightening music to be listening to perhaps the best dad joke ever told. 🤣 Man, this song was so difficult for me to get into. So much going on, just was noise. Then I looked at the lyrics...I WAS SOLD.
Took me so long to “get” this song. Once I let it click tho’
I wish I could subscribe to your page 5 times! They played Rosetta Stoned in Hollywood, FL at Hard Rock. I went absolutely bezerk when I heard the beginning of the song!
The thought has gone round that Maynard's mom was deadly sick and it took 27 years for her to die, hence the album's title. React to Wings for Marie next, both parts.
PS-- shit the bed is an idiom for" I fucked up bad."
I moved to another country during my "Saturn returns" which also started my current career on IT..
Also many great things have happened since.
I did not know that about the album title, but I met my wife at 27.5 years old and she is a massive Tool fan so it adds up!
Wait a f'n second... I just started watching you had no idea you were Chiefs Kingdom. Hell yes, brother. Have you heard Tech9's Red Kingdom?
You will love Extinction extended version by King Gizzard
Hey, how do I suggest a song for you? There's a video game score I'd really like to get your opinion on. It's "The First Disciple" from Destiny 2: The Witch Queen soundtrack. I think you'd really enjoy it
Actually Doug, the album (and its title song) are a tribute to Maynard's mother after her death. 10,000 days is the time she lived paralyzed. The song is extremely clear about it, there's nothing to interpret. Aside from these secondary notions, in my opinion this song is Danny Carey's absolute masterpiece. Initially I didn't like it very much... After assimilating it I find it exceptional.... Practically perfect from certain points of view!
The story being told is not clear to you because this is a song divided into two parts: Lost Keys (Blame Hoffman) and Rosetta Stoned. The first song is not at all that monumental from a musical point of view and there are very few words. These few words, however, are essential to put the rest into perspective. Lost Keys is The very Rosetta Stone to understand Rosetta Stoned. I'm pretty sure your brother will scold you for this 😜
I love that part of listening to a Tool song is trying to figure out what’s going on. It’s such ordered chaos and I love it!
I must recommend this video version of "Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned". I've watched it so many times. Brings the songs to life
ruclips.net/video/f78WrdCi4Wk/видео.html
Doug, the 10,000 days / Saturn thing is interesting, and certainly the lead track bears this out. But the title is all about his mother’s suffering. Listen to the title track and you’ll understand. I dare you to keep a dry eye…
I love unreliable narrators in music, i can only think of two songs this and Tribute by Tenacious D, is he on drugs or psychotic maybe both, by the end he's got the worlds most important message to tell you but he forgot his pen. Love it, one of my favourite Tool songs and simple but fun as hell on guitar.
Danny Carey and Blair MacKenzie Blake talking about where this songs lyrics were inspired from.
I cut the following section from the podcast transcript:
... bill manson kind of wandered into our rehearsal
one day and he had gone out to see the integritron somewhere out in the desert by palm
springs space rock yeah and it came back with
some crazy story of abduction and strange briefcases and whatnot is just
quite the story i don't know if if it really happened or if he was writing it for a script or if he was
testing it on us to see how he'd react but it was one hell of a story yeah rating our gullibility factors perhaps
and uh you just have to go with it and go okay yeah i think that happened to me once too
was it there was a million cuts or something all over his body it was a great story yeah i
was just so scattered and beyond though i can't really recall too many the nutty details of it but um
the horror in his voice pretty much said it all which something strange had happened to him you know
immediately i had to go out there and check it out it sounded almost closer to a cattle mutilation rather than an
abduction though there's a fine line between the two yeah
but um maynard was so inspired that he wrote this next song and we're gonna
go ahead and play it for you guys so here you have it rosetta stoned [Music]
ruclips.net/video/U1GzWPnTcbw/видео.html
So glad you did this song amazing! One of the best Tool songs ever! Nice work Doug, as always!!! :-)
Every six months there's a report that another album is immanent. Of the dozens, probably hundreds of times this has been reported, it' only been correct five times.
Oh you're one of the reviewers that went into the timing a realizes that it's actually inversion of the fibonacci sequence in the vocals from Lateralus... There's a tie in!
Surprised you didn't make this an all-Taylor channel after the Chiefs win.
The Uncle Martin reference was a shout out to the TV series My Favorite Martian
11:00 Squidward dance
10000 days mentions the time that Mainar's mother was disabled after a stroke until her death, the lyrics of the song 10000 days talk about that
Well, if you were trying to explain getting abducted you would be talking Fast also!
Love your energy, It’s very conducive for Tool.
To "shit the bed" is to fail so completely and thoroughly that there is no chance of recovery.
Can you do a reaction to “En la pupila revienta el mar - Antonio monasterio ensamble”
He was a teacher of mine from chile :)
tool was decent in the early 2000's...they have just gotten to weird for me, every song follows the same trend.
Please, react to TOOL - 46 & 2 Whenever you have a chance. 🙏❤️🔥
Tool Rosetta Stoned.. I thought it said Too Rolling Stoned lmao
It took a LONG time for me to finally stop skipping this song through listens of the album, due to the chaotic and often unintelligible nature of the beginning verses. Especially since Tool (read Maynard) held their lyrics very close to their chest to allow for more personal interpretations to flourish instead. So, I would hear the noise of this song and have to change it, but eventually I did start listening and finding enjoyable pieces within the background of its soundscape, eventually coming to love the transitions, the passages of ethereal timbre, and slowly gauged through words here and there that it was less a melodic poetry and more a irreverent plea from a ranting and raving psychonaut. Now the story and its delivery makes total sense to me, along with the music that accompanies. That just speaks to the nuance you can find in any Tool song that will continually rear its presence no matter how many times you've listened to them
If LSD is a long strange trip, DMT is like being shot out of a rocket...
Dang, I've known this album since it came out but just now i realized the word play behind title of this song (english is not my first language)
Look on youtube for 10000 days secret song. You wont be disappointed
aghhhhh you missed the descending snare fill! 6:45
Sometimes this song hits a little too close to home...
