"It was so real. Like the time Dave floated away." That line explains the entire song.

In an interview with Danny Carey, DC said that this song is about a friend of theirs that tripped on acid/DMT and told them some elaborate story about being abducted by men with brief cases, etc.. Maynard found it amusing and it inspired this song

"But I forgot my pen, shit the bed again.. typical." The story of my life.

This song is one of tools best songs in my opinion. It has EVERYTHING we like from tool, excellent musicianship, witty humour, and some form of message that lies just under the surface that you kind of need to dig a bit to find. This is definitely one of the most complicated songs theyve written musically too, but its so well written it doesnt even feel that complex. It flows perfectly even though its packed to the brim with polymeter and polyrhythm. Just an absolute work of art and to me its one of the crown jewels of this band.

This song is 100% about full-blown astral travel during a high dose psychedelic experience and the Messianic delusion that can often accompany such experiences. Poking fun at the Leary/McKenna types who think they found the answers by getting high all the time.

I love when Sori closes her eyes and goes inside the music.

Tool - Pneuma

Just saw TOOL in concert last night in Tulsa! Best Band i've ever had the chance to see!

It's rare that someone mentions the genius of Adam Jones. This song is some of this best work. The solo in Rosetta is mind bending. He is one of the most creative guitar players to ever exist. There is literally no one right now even on this guy's level.

Allow me to solve the mystery here. The song is about one of their friends that took lsd and claimed to be abducted by aliens.

This particular song just has insane depth , musically , emotionally and lyrically , and i mean beyond the obvious usage of drugs , its so much about the psychology and a reaction of someone trying to find some meaning or truth behind it and how much those thoughts can reveal to you insecurities or strengths and the list keeps on going. When i first heard of this song , I thought to myself this is literally the closest to someone can verbally explain the madness that is tripping , tip-toeing on that makes sense but it doesn't. You can vicariously experience the trip.

I love Rosetta Stoned and I think it's the most "Tool" song out there :P

s**t the bed isnt to be taken literally...its an expression for saying "Damn I messed up again".

I remember the feeling in ‘06 when Tool opened with this song at SMU and I saw Justin using a beer bottle on his bass in front of his speaker cabinets to get the eerie droning feedback noise for Lost Keys. 🤘

Tool - No Quarter (Led Zeppelin cover)!!

“Tool doesn’t do the feature the guitar thing” Wait till they hear full Fear Inoculum album

The masterpiece. Edit: Bob may be Bob Lazar of Area 51 whistleblower fame.

This is definitely the beauty of this channel, something about seeing you guys reacting to these songs gives me a taste of what it was like to hear them for the first time. Laughed right along with Vin at the "but I forgot my pen" line and I've heard this countless times now

I get stoned just listening to Danny Carey's drumming on this song.

Song never fails to make me smile.

I've been dying to hear the conversation this song causes. Great reaction, guys! Thanks! 💜

Massive hype when you guys review TOOL! Absolutely love it and you guys! Cheers!

Vin channeling his inner Ric Flair with the well timed "woooooo" 😂

The intro sounds absolutely freaking beautiful pitched up. I'm getting goosebumps

Anybody else thing the bridge to Rosetta Stoned may possibly be the most epic ever put to record. To quote Vin... "Whooooooo! Yeah!"

I think y’all got a speed up version of Rosetta Stoned. Lol

It’s about a man who took DMT and then either had a vision of aliens or was abducted while tripping. He then ended up at the hospital and recounted the tale. So you’re both right tbh

"Dead-head chemistry" = lsd made by Grateful Dead fans

Love Tool, love this song, love this conversation, love thinking outside the box, love mixing perspectives, Tool has such an effect on conversation, and this is way after this song came out and yet there is still something to think about.

Great great vid maybe my favorite Vin and Sori reaction really just made my day thank y'all so much!

Oh thank God! All I saw was Tool in my notifications and didn't look at the icon and thought it was the email letting me know the limited edition CD I ordered was finally being shipped. We just moved last weekend and I haven't updated my address on anything yet. Thanks for the reminder Vin and Sori!

SUCH A HEAVY BURDEN NOW TO BEEEEEEE THE ONEEEEE

OMG!!!!..YEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!! FINALLY!!!>..I have been DYING for your reaction to this one!!!!

“Shit the bed” is a phrase many use to say “I totally fucked up”.

You finally did it! Awesome

….and after calming me down with some Orange slices and some fetal spooning…… He revealed to me the singular purpose, he said "YOU are the chosen one, the one who will deliver the message. A message of hope for those who chose to hear it...and a waring for those who do not" . Me, the chosen one, they chose me...… and I didn't even graduate from F*#KIN high school….

This is the greatest song ever written.

Saw tool live Tuesday night. Best money I've ever spent and best show I've ever been too. Incredible.

Not enough people laugh at the punchline, "but I forgot my pen!" Glad ya got it on your first go!

The version you listened to seemed a little fast; maybe x1.15. Not sure. In turn, the song sounded higher pitch than what was actually recorded.

This was such a great deep dive

All that's left on this album is "Intension" now, totally worth it.

♪♫ Overwhelmed as one would be, placed in my position ♪♫ Such a heavy burden now to be the one ♪♫ ♪♫ Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending ♪♫ To write it down for all the world to see ♪♫ Chills. Gets me every. time.

Finally more tool!

The voice of the "doctor" is Justin Chancellor (bass). Fun fact.

Hey VinandSori! You guys were featured in a loudwire top 10 video!!

You guys were apart of a loud wire KZfaq video about youtubers reacting to metal haha!! You guys were the best reaction.

omg yess just in time i needed

This is so great! Need to be more involved with this channel. I would love to converse with you Vin. Sorry Sori. I can't rap my head around the fact, that you can't rap your head around...lol.

Great debate!, love this episode

I love how Sori just takes everything as it's being told and doesn't question any of it for a second. Just accept all of it happened for real and take it all literally :P

Honestly I love the slightly higher pitch and sped up version. Plus you all have really cool input and don't talk through the song, but give it a solid listen and then break it down. 👌

I love the bass guitar's feedback throughout Lost Keys.

I always love how Sori goes to her Tool place

Yes, this is definitely another quintessential Tool track as far as concept(s) and musicianship goes. Glad you guys loved this one, as I always thought you might not appreciate it all that much BECAUSE of the wacky "story" lol.

Vin, you are a genius!!

Can you imagine if something like this would happen though. Aliens grab some guy tripping, give him a message for humanity and he didn't write it down and can't remember. How frustrating would that be. You can hear it in Maynard's scream at the end. I know it's a joke thing but if you take it as face value it becomes really interesting.

the song is about an actual experience that a friend of the band had. he apparently headed out into the desert and when he came back to the guys he told them the story about what had happened to him, so they wrote the song a few years later. He told the guys “ he swears something happened to him”. Drummer Danny Carey tells the backstory in this interview respect :) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mtJ6f7GpypmrkWw.html

Damn! I also want to know if you've seen anything Vin? LOL Good video! Love Tool! And I agree, they simply cannot miss!

Loved the review! Epistemology is my favorite too Vin! Its a deadhead thing. Us Dudes like me, we talk metaphysics, axiology, and epistemology all the time. Philosophy is the favorite subject of us psychonaughts as we call ourselves. When you experience altered states of consciousness to the levels we do, it raises endless questions and we sit around theorizing about the nature of life. You get deep into subjects like chaos theory and determinism for example which seems oddly familiar to God and Free Will if you think about it. Multiverse theory... All kinds of absolutely fascinating thought experiments you run by each other. That's that deadhead chemistry. 😝 we love it! Are we going deep within or are we travelling outside ourselves? That's another talking point you can spend days discussing. One take away is most people, not all but most come away with a distinct and very real feeling of an eternal soul. A sense of purpose beyond this life. Then we discuss it with each other. It is a BLAST! Anyway, thanks again for everything you have done for me. I talk too much 😄 so I'll stop now. Love you guys Tim

Shout out to Maynard for the “Uncle Martin” reference from the old TV show My Favorite Martian! 🤘🏻

I love how much they're analyzing this like I did 😁

This is an epic, abseloute genius tune, when u read the brilliant lyrics as u listen, I too had trouble reading the lyrics fast enough to keep up with maynard flew through them

Somehow this song hits even harder pitched up. New appreciation for this song even after years of listening consistently to Tool!

Like others said, a timeless masterpiece

The greatest story ever told...if only he could have written it down...

Please do "Intension" from 10.000 days. A true unsung masterpiece

Dat moment, when Vin got goosebumps. 🕺🏻 I feel ya, düde! #MeToo

I love how you call her "bro" sometimes. 😂🤣

Doctor: “Tell me everything.” “Alright then…”

Finally! A relevant reaction lol 😂

Oh, this should be fun! Hahaha 😝 can't wait to watch it! Shit the bed is just a saying that means "I forgot" basically. It's not a literal expression. You guys are so fun!

Got to see this live in 06 amazing.. Sori chill it's literately in the lyrics ..

Lmao that bridge took Vin to another dimension

This is one of my favorite tool songs......an absolute masterpiece of time signature changes and drumming. Danny really really flexes on this one. Watch john kew (KZfaqr) cover this on the drums.

The drums in this blow me away every time. I hope to be able to play it someday

3:55 Sori: Have YOU ever seen an alien? Me: Picture this if you will.

He’s talking about an acid trip gone wrong, out in the desert by Nellis Air Force Base, which contains Area 51. He says “it must’ve been the dead head chemistry, the blotter got right on top of me.” Dead head chemistry is a reference to LSD and how Grateful Dead fans, also referred to as Dead heads, would manufacture and use LSD quite often. A blotter is the “tiny stamps” that are used to dose LSD.

i love sori's personality shes cool

First time I played this for my wife, she said "I don't know what they're doing, but they're doing it really well!"

The irony Sori thinking you must believe in something like Aliens and you would have to be crazy but god sure no problem:)

He's tripping super hard man ik the feels

AHHHH YOU DID IT!

I feel like this song is about not knowing if the thoughts and insights of a psychedelic experience are real or a psychological break.

Vin was right AND Sori was right. The song is about a trip on hallucinogenic drugs (LSD = Blame "Albert" Hoffman), where the protagonist was tripping, but believed he had been abducted by aliens...or maybe really was, which would've REALLY been a hell of a trip.

This song is all about a DMT trip based on a true story outside of Area 51. This is supposedly a story that was recounted to Maynard. Shitting the bed is another way to say I fucked up or you screwed up. It's not literally shitting the bed. The beginning of Lost Keys is the tripper being taken to a hospital and recounting the story to a Doctor(Maynard)

Tool - invincible

Wow, this is gonna be VERY interesting. Hope you guys have the lyrics to read as usual.

Great reaction and conversation! Maybe you two should seach for dr. steven grear, his disclosure project and those massive amount of testimonials (also from ex-politicians, military dudes etc.) about extraterrestial beeings and such things :)

More honest and intelligent than ANYTHING on the radio anywhere

Do you guys think you can do some Deftones??

7EMPEST and Pneuma please

The lost keys are the Keys of Solomon

I’m very surprised that you haven’t reviewed more of the new album.

Vin listen to Karnivool - Deadman, Sky machine or New Day. You won't regret it.

Epica - Kingdom of heaven

You definitely need the lyrics for this

Everyt time i see that intro i can hear Jonathan screaming "VIIIN AND SORIIIIIIIIIII!!!!" (instead of Are You Ready?)

alrighty then!!

I can't remember who it is or what he needs to be blamed for, but Hoffman is/was a real person. I LOVE the transition- Dr.: "Tell me everything" Patient: "Alrighty then; picture this if you will..."
