This song is worser than the Jonas Brothers milking a fat cow...this band called "Tool" is very odd.

[mynameiskellie]

@EricSchwin22 Your English is worser.

[keeinv]

Fibonacci is how money is made not to mention how nature governs itself. 1+1=2

[12Nascency12]

WHY COMIC SANS MS!

[SuperGuitarMark]

What grade did you make on the project?

[xxKama33xx]

@SuperGuitarMark I got a good grade on the project cause I didn't want to let my group down.

[PureExile]

At 1:02 the video seems to imply that the ratio of any two consecutive terms is equal. This is obviously false. The ratio of consecutive terms CONVERGES to the Golden Ratio (1+√5)/2.

[311paris]

who is fag with dog collar lol?

[roycedavies]

At first I was like oooh, fibonacci sequence! And I was all excited, then I thought well if not fibonacci maybe a chiasmus? Then it hit me.....FAIL.

[NoaOno]

It starts with 1 not 0

[kungfuweasel78]

what was with the numbers

[GodHatesPortugal]

Wow Maynard put the first few numbers of the Fibonacci sequence into the number of syllables in this shitty song. IT'S JUST A BUNCH OF FUCKING NUMBERS! Seriously, he could have used numbers from the phone book and it would have been pretty much the same thing. Tool has proved once again that they are a bunch of pretentious cocksuckers, Maynard's "songs" are shit, and their fans are all gullible idiots

[UrTalkingToKory]

@GodHatesPortugal

You're an idiot. It was definitely done on purpose.

[GodHatesPortugal]

@UrTalkingToKory I know it was done on purpose dumbass. THATS WHY ITS PSEUDO-INTELLECTUAL RETARDED CRAP!!!! Whats next Cowboy Poetry song?

[Hosanna1Love]

cmon utube love ya but plz return da favbour add a love button cos this tune beyond jus like its a next islamic level

[stinth]

I'd just like to ask. What was the presentation about? Was it about music and math? 

[xxKama33xx]

@stinth It was for my AP Calculus class, which I did horrible in, lol. I spent more time listening to music than studying math, so yeah.. xD

[Caduceus4Judith]

Pretty disrespectful that you wouldn't play the WHOLE song! WTF is that??

[xxKama33xx]

@Caduceus4Judith It was a 5 minute presentation for math, so I couldn't play the whole song.

[Hosanna1Love]

@Caduceus4Judith hey baby plz calm the fuck down tho i agree every brethren shuid have their say. try not to let babylon stress you tho its lucky we know the fools just hit u with a invisble weapon cos else u not bk chat a believer. i used to assume and got me and others in trouble...one love bless

[lobmattsin]

gthey did a really good job

[Schwartzhund]

Ahhh yes! Brings back great memories. Such a great song

[666deceased666]

TOOL= FUCKIN GENIUSES THAT GAVE ME GOOSE BUMPS

they expanded and inspired my concept of how important intelligence is in life, and how we should think alone, and all these philosophical things in my 14 year old brain :)

[MrDixienormis]

Yeah Awsome respect seen them in concert they play every thing to a tee the tightest band ever.

[xxKama33xx]

@MrDixienormis I saw them three times, every single concert was amazing, especially the talkbox solo in Jambi.

[reddragonready]

@MrDixienormis That couldn't possibly be because the tightest band ever is AKUS. ;D

But these guys and this song are also very good and I liked the video!

[nickharvey7]

Nice video !!

[AaronsMusique]

God i hate this. anyone can do this if they write about complete bullshit...which they do. i hate that everyone goes on about how smart this song is. i love the beat and the tune... i like listening to it... but come on... fucking average twats trying to look creative and smart...

bring the hate.

[xxKama33xx]

You want to hate, but where are all the brilliant and mind blowing songs that you've written?

This isn't a bridge you want to sit under. ^.~

[xxKama33xx]

Too easy. I'm just gonna let the Tool fans shred you.

[666deceased666]

fuck you, you donno shit about music and so as your stupid gangster wannabes that all they sing about how they are cool and everyone should be like them, how they like to fuck, smoke, and spend money on shit they dont use. We, the extremists of music, believe inteligence is the point of life, not trying to be kool and not even helping anyone.

[AaronsMusique]

if your an extremist of music... you would have taken the time to listen to my lyrics. The point of the song was that it was being ironic and taking the shit out of all the gangsta crap you just described... i'm in my fourth year at the conservatorium of music in sydney. I've played and studied music since i was in year 2. i know quite a bit about music... you are no extremist... ur just another fucking stupid unorignal shitty metal follower "666deceased666".... seriously? grow the fuck up cunt

[666deceased666]

haha fuck u, sorry that i havent went to college or anything yet cz IM FUCKING 14! but still Im planning to go to Berklee Music college and learn anything/whatever I can about music. and okay kiss my ass man, ill look at your stupid fuckin lyrics, but how the fuck was i supposed to find it? and yes i should of definently spent my time lookin for you..

im just sayin that metal music has much more theories, structure, and creativity in its composition. And i do agree with you how lame my name is

[AaronsMusique]

i just figured because you thought i was into "gangsta" music you saw my shitty video. whatevs... i like metal more than that shit anyhow.

[darknevangelist]

@AaronsMusique for one fuck off ... in todays world there are kids running around 16 or older and dont know anything about fibonacci. there are somethings that if can be passed an ezr way...through art and including music ought to be taught in that respect. so fuck you i completely disagree with an ignorant fucking dope fiend as urself. its said that one who can master music can master mathematics and thru that master the universe as we know it.

[AaronsMusique]

@darknevangelist hahahaha looooooool.

yeah your right... tool should definitely be mastering the universe. "it is said" lol stfu.

[MaxAgond]

5 Star and fav'd. Excellent video.

[wurzyking]

did you get an A??? lol

[xxKama33xx]

I'd got damn better have! Lmao. I'm pretty sure I did though. But it was unappreciated in a class full of gay preppy kids (no offense to anyone, >.>)

[wurzyking]

lol!! those kids bug me... i would have passed you with 400% extra credit... but thats proly cause i love tool so much XD

[petejt]

I love that guitar tone. Sounds like there's a flanger effect on it? Sounds really thick and rich, love it. Done well.

[joebobdenny]

This is the coolest thing I have ever seen, I mean heard!! I have a suspicion that the members of Tool may not be human??

[muntificator]

LOL true =P but i dont rekon this vid is anywhere near as good as the original. Theress a link to it in related videos - The Fibonacci in Lateralus. Its just like this but with a few different points added. Still damn good though

[Darkthorian]

Nah there jsut humans using what they have, unlike most nowdays who are to lazy to even think about things. Thats why tool is my favorite band - they use there brain to the maximum extent

[xxKama33xx]

I did use the other video as a guide because originally I wasn't going to post this on Youtube, but added my own stuff to it and ended up posting it anyway.

[Quake120]

Funny, for somebody who is extolling the virtues of using the brain you messed up some grammar there.

It's 'they're'. They are.

"Nah, they're just humans..."

Also, it is 'their'.

They use 'their' brains. Not there.

Not being disparaging, just trying to help :D

[Darkthorian]

Okay exuse my grammar. I don't recall saying im a smart person. That is why i like tool, They are smart. What i wish i could be.

Im 14 don't nail my grammar to hard, And yes i do know i need to work on it.

[SidtheSlothh]

@Darkthorian There's a band, After the Burial, who made an instrumental song about Pi. :D

[Kennyd46]

and some consciousnesses post the same sillyness on an infinite number of spiral videos, so that the consciousness of sillyness spirals out to the infinite. ( i dig this song )

[snowboarder148]

if you just listen to the whole song (this is only like half of it) there is a verse just talking about spirals its kinda trippy

[xxKama33xx]

Yeah, I had a 5 minute time limit. Everyone should listen to the full song, every day. =]

[Seeker52]

Just a...no, sorry, THE perfect video which explains a lot of things around the song. Great job, heading to the favourite videos. :-)

[0hmprakash]

"A circle is the reflection of eternity. It has no beginning and it has no end - and if you put several circles over each other, then you get a spiral."

-Maynard J. Keenan

;)

[0hmprakash]

"Perhaps I can explain it by asking you to image seven of the circles, which would give you the forty-nine levels. The first three levels are physical matter as you know physical matter. They are your plants, your animals, your humans. The fourth circle is your bridge, your realm, your center for that overall plane. It is the time in which a consciousness can choose whether to go back into the lower levels or to transcend into the higher levels,"

[0hmprakash]

"and many consciousnesses do choose to go back into the lower levels in physical form. The upper three circles are the realm that in your consciousness is called the spiritual realm, and here much of the work is done. I could not help someone who was not on the eighteenth level very much because my plane, my vibrational rate would be different. This is why it is hard for me to help you with specific problems."

[0hmprakash]

"I can give you ideas, but I cannot give you the direct guidance I could if you were on level eighteen. Our planes do touch since yours is an ascending spiral—an ascending, what is your word for that? It is an ellipse. It is an ascending ellipse, and therefore I can cross and communicate with you, but not as directly. Once I reach level forty-nine, which I will, I then leave all of this realm of existence."

[0hmprakash]

"It does not mean I have reached the highest point by any means. It simply means I have left this group of seven, this overall group of seven. Imagine, if you will, the seven circles enclosed in an even larger circle upon which seven more circles are stacked, which is in turn enclosed in even a great circle. Then you can have some idea of what infinity is. It does not ever stop."

-Far Journeys, Robert Monroe

[0hmprakash]

To understand the full context of this song it's necessary to understand the metaphysical elements underlying the lyrics. The spiral being alluded to in this song is the non-physical plane(i.e. astral planes). It urges us to spiral onward and upward into the realm of infinite possibility on the wings of our will and the winds of chance. The song is meaningful as a metaphor to urge us to go beyond the known into uncharted territory but is also a direct allusion to a metaphysical principle.

[DDDFilms]

Oh the irony

[OFFICEuk]

also, not mentioned in the video:

TOOL deliberately order the 13 tracks of Lateralus for Fibonacci purposes. If you order the track numbers into the Fibonacci sequence, they flow better. It goes like this:

Tracks - 6, 7, 5, 8, 4, 9, 13, 1, 12, 2, 11, 3, 10

[xxKama33xx]

I have a separate Tool playlist ordered like that. =P

[IndigoPlaedian]

You have a good understanding of the sequence? Because I'm trying to figure out how that sequence (which has been stated on numerous sites) is the fibonacci. I've used the F(n-1)+F(n-2) formula, i've tried doin simple math, I just can't see it.

[xxKama33xx]

That sequence is called the "Lateralus Prophecy."

1,2,3,5,8,13,4,6,7,9,10,11,12 is Fibonacci

[IndigoPlaedian]

Ooh shit, ok.

thanks for replyin bro

[PorkSoda1983]

is it me or on the album cover does the lower line of the eye start a fibbonacci spiral

[Phil2171]

The song is 9:24 long on the cd.

9+8+7= 24

[Javin93]

wtf?

Where'd you get the 8 and 7?

[skitch76cd]

I've read where the song rotates from 9/8 to 8/8 to 7/8 time signatures. One site I just Googled said the band used to call this "the 987 song" because of that.

[skitch76cd]

Oops...commented before finishing the video. Sorry about that.

[moonmaria]

Thank You for this Great video!!!

The more I learn about Tools music, the more I understand why it has grabbed me so profoundly- in so many levels, and how often I can play it without being tired of it..

Thanks for explaining it in numbers!!!
