For me, it's important to remember the context of this 20 year old record. When this was made, the top selling bands were: Nickelback, Staind, Creed, Linkin Park, etc. And Tool go away for a few years and write this. Nothing had sounded like this record beforehand. I hope, when you're finished with your Tool Tuesdays, that you go back and find a quiet 80 minutes, lie down and listen to this record from start to finish. Their other records are all great, but this one, in its correct order, is something else. All the best from the UK.

[@alshurdom6917]

Nickleback...When one listens to Tool, how Nickelback can still resonate with anyone...is baffling. A Perfect Circle's So Long and Thanks for All the Fish, is probably Maynard's most pop song, ever, and I'm convinced, he wrote that just to give the middle finger to every Nickelback, Fallout Boy band out there...saying, essentially, "I can even do this better than you!" Maynard, Adam, Danny and Justin, singularly, keep me faithful in humanity....that we can still create beauty, intelligence and depth...relevance.

Gabo Luján uhh 924 isn’t a number in the sequence. However 987 is and I’m pretty sure at some point in the song the time signature changes from 9/8 to 8/8 to 7/8 so it’s still in there. But the length of the song doesn’t match up with the Fibonacci sequence

[@sidarthur8706]

Tater N yea that's the naïve view that i go by but people tell me that it's deeper than that, it's all invented. i think that wittgenstein's way of putting it was that since maths is abstract it doesn't correspond to anything in reality and has no obligation to be true, mathematicians make it up to suit themselves. so in maths you can have negative numbers and imaginary numbers that are purely abstract with no relation to anything in the world. it looks like it has to be true that things like positive integers and adding up relate to real things in the world but even that may not be the case since it took russel and whitehead 300 pages to get to a proof of 1+1. even that's had to be made up. as i say i don't understand these things well, i just assume that smarter people than me know better

Tater N but the word 'dog' does exactly correspond with something in reality and to say that dogs exist is a true proposition in specific contexts according to wittgenstein's philosophy. o and don't try to find clarification in what i'm telling you, i can only tell you what i understand of it. you'd be better off reading about it yourself. also it should be noted that not all mathematicians think that maths is invented. but then not all mathematicians are great

[@CampSiteVlogs]

Maynard is a genius. But so is every member. I believe it was Danny Carey who sparked the idea overall.

[@MiSoScraben]

Correct. This was Danny's idea. It was one conceived during the creation of the songs for Ænima, though held off until they came together to bounce around ideas for this album. Supposedly, after Danny proposed the idea, they joked about it, then took it overly serious, then dialed it back down to just one song.

[@CampSiteVlogs]

MiSo Scraben I did a VIP show once. And Adam Jones said that Danny noticed some of the sequence in one of Adam’s riffs one day. And since it happened pretty much naturally they decided to take it deeper. So if the original idea of making a song that follows the Fibonacci sequence happened back in the Ænima, I think it’s pretty incredible that even though they already had the idea to make a song that way, the riff Adam played loosely followed the sequence without them applying the idea to the riff. It happened naturally regardless. As if it was just meant to be.

[@MiSoScraben]

@@CampSiteVlogs Which falls into the theory of destiny. Plus, the basis with the Fibonacci regard might've been applying too much towards Aenima, if they did proceed with addressing and developing it, then. So, it, more than likely, helped to expand their solutions further with the delay.

[@xdmsavage7106]

Carey is the heartbeat of the band. It's why Maynard standd by him so he can hear him bc he's a genius drummer and musical artist. Never has a band been more centered around the drummer. Hes the best ever hands down.

@@macgonzo This is true.

From my understanding the band started making the song and wrote it in incorporating the sequence into it. Like tile signatures and the length of the song is a number in the sequence, etc. They told Maynard so he contributed with his lyrics. He wasn’t the initial driving force behind the idea. He just added his genius along with the other 3 geniuses.

Usually people shout Maynard or Adam or Danny's names... and yet Justin's bass has always been one of the cornerstones of Tool. Very few people give Justin due recognition, but many do recognize the impact of his bass grooves. I guess that's the curse of the bass player in any band.

Love seeing smokey's face just look absolutely drained during these past few tool Tuesdays hahaha. Tool is a trip, a mad journey that does that to you and I feel it too. Have done the last 20+ years of listening to them and still to this day, I learn more when listening to them! Spiral out!

[@atelierbones]

Ok guys, so since I haven't seen this mentioned so far I'm gonna leave this here, and my apologies... it's gonna be a bit long. Words in all caps are key terms you can look up on Wikipedia. As you noted, the song is built on the Fibonacci sequence, but also it has some heavy lyrical roots in Spiritual ALCHEMY and the work of JUNG and NIETZSCHE. In Alchemy, people are born and grow through a process known as TRANSMUTATION, starting with NIGREDO (blackening or necrosis), ALBEDO (whitening or ablutio), CITRINITAS (yellowing or xanthosis), and finally RUBEDO (reddening or iosis). This is the process by which the PHILOSOPHER'S STONE (also called the MAGNUM OPUS or "GREAT WORK") is created. So when Maynard says "Black then White are all I see, in my infancy. Red and Yellow then came to be, reaching out to me, lets me see." He is referring to a growth or change in his Spirit through Alchemy. This sort of growth is mentioned in several tracks by Tool (notably 46&2), and is also heavily featured in the writings of Carl Jung and Friedrich Nietzsche. Alchemy also holds dear the concept of the GOLDEN RATIO, also called PHI or ϕ. 1.618 is the approximate value for Phi, and is what you mentioned in the video about living creatures and art having proportions built on this idea (spirals on shells, Leonardo DaVinci's paintings, etc). Hope this helps, and I gotta say, I loved this reaction. Keep spiraling out guys and awesome content! 🤘

So just to let you know this is the greatest song ever written. Best vocals, best lyrics, best instrumentals. It takes a few listens to get it(just like all Tool songs) but still the best of anyone and any group. Spiral Out.

[@bdizzle2144]

I'm here to argue against your point. Alas, I cannot. It's the best song EVER.

Boyd Peterson so i argue with friends and family all the time. Listen to this song 3xs and tell me a better song. The answer- nothing. It is what it is. No need to argue, just submit.

[@bdizzle2144]

@@meb882 it took me dozens of listens to fully appreciate that song. I enjoyed it for a long time but didn't "get it". Once it clicked for me I fell in love. It changed how I view and listen to music. For me, it's the only music that never gets old or stale.

[@meb882]

@@bdizzle2144 I'm an old dude so I tend to stick to my opinion more than I should. I play this song for brother and I get so pissed when he doesn't get it(he"s older than me and everything in the 70s is the best...blah blah). There is not a better song than Lateralus, anywhere, ever. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it :-). Glad you like it as well.

[@Bigandrewm]

Experimenting with more complex rhythmic patterns is actually extremely common in music. In European history - yes, Beethoven did it. So did Chopin, Mozart, Bach, and any number of musicians. It's even more common in some other music traditions, such as many forms of African drumming. When it's done poorly, adding rhythmic complexity can get meaningless, but done well it can be very intense, as in Lateralus here. Another well-known example is Igor Stravinsky's ballet "Le Sacre du Printemps" or in English, "The Rite Of Spring". Stravinsky doesn't use the Fibonacci sequence but he does use some other fairly complex rhythmic groupings, and in its domain is also considered one of the great musical works of the 20th century. In my humble opinion, there are many great recordings of this by various orchestras, but as it was originally a ballet, it's best to first experience this as a ballet, with the dancing and staging, and not just as an orchestral concert. My first experience with the Rite was actually the suite of excerpts used in the dinosaur sequence from Fantasia.

[@RustBatman]

Lost Keys leading into Rosetta Stoned would be perfect for you guys as well! Essentially the story of a DMT trip, weird as fuck but amazing too. Having the lyrics on-hand would definitely be beneficial if you want to have an idea of some parts of it lol

[@jonathancolwell8520]

I just said the same thing and then read through the comments and saw this. Agreed 100%

[@doodahman2995]

Agreed. Lyrics in hand are key.

[@sidarthur8706]

that song is the purest essence of tool

[@epica85]

With a lyric video pls

[@tidewell]

Lipman Conjuring is actually a DMT reference.. if you listen to all 3 tracks, it fits into the storyline - The song's main character is having mescaline with the Lipman tribe on a reservation near Area 51 - He passes out from the experience - Wakes up in the hospital and Lost Keys begins - He recalls the story in Rosetta Stoned

You should try Beethoven's third symphony, second movement, starting at about 21:30. About the same level intensity, but a different kind. Though as all such pieces of music, you need to get into the mood and grasp the music that leads to that moment, before you can actually appreciate and enjoy it.
