AJIG what did you think of I+W i meant to ask you before but kinda forgot...

Its better than Awake

Do you think JoZ noticed? I love Pull Me Under and Surrounded.

It sucks, so much good music bought in such a short period of time, and only so much time to properly listen to it

I don't like I+W at all really. Too soft for me :/
Good songs I guess, but I like the heavier DT.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I guess im going through my soft period again. You know, the time where you would rather skip to Reflection instead of taking in The Grudge (relvant to thread part over)

Its Prog month for me anyway. Last month was clearly metal month from what I bought/listened to

Why is that?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I have been thinking a lot about The Grudge lately and who exactly it is about. I related it to Schism and in what ways the lyrics are similar and I came to the conclusion that they are about Romeo and Juliet. (shoot me)

If you have read the play, you should that the entire this is based on a grudge between the Montagues and the Capulets, and the entire town of Verona, Italy knows about their grudge ("Wear the grudge like a crown of negativity" which is saying make your grudge known.) The play is also about 2 "Supposed lovers." I'd go into further detail, but I'm sure if you've read the play that you'll see the similarities. I know it may sound somewhat faggy or whatever, but I really think that this is what the 2 songs are about. :D


April was prog month for me as well.

Words like "wear the grudge like a crown" and "scarlet lettermen" and "clutch it like a cornerstone" always remind me of that giant project that Blair and Danny Carey worked on on Danny's web site. The thing about the dead priest, Saunier.

[Magicaltroll]

Why is that?
Because I guess I have a trial version.

Edit: I really messed up my spelling and grammar on this one.

I'm downloading Audacity right now. It seems that quite a few people use it, so it can't be too crappy. (Better than Goldwave, at least.)

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Thats pretty sweet. I love your tone in some parts, but there are some parts when it seems a bit weak. And JoZ's bass overpowers a bit during some sections

Most impressively though, you managed to give it a personal feel. It didnt just sound like a direct cover, it had some extra flair. Which is number 1 priority in all tool covers

hey thanks. The funny thing was, i had it PERFECT, then i realized i never set the record level right, so when i played it back, ball suck.


Then when i re-recorded it, it came out not the same, but i was like, "its saturday morning, im in my boxers. NO big whoop"

i wanted to put my fill in during the solo, which is just like me picking faster with more notes, but with the same feel.

I guess i could always do it again too

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Send me the guitar track only if you could. I wanna try out my mixing skills.

And a few questions on it:

1) Did you mic record or evil line in? (j/k)
2) What program do you use to record/mix?
3) Is that tone from your amp or some software effect/preamp malarky?

Yeah, I got a message from the Tool site that said "Sorry, we're working on our database right now. Please try again later!" So....maybe they're just in the process of adding all of the info about their now completed new album to the page!

...or, they're probably just doing some maintenance on the site. Heh. I suppose with Blair's constant non-updates, we'll grasp at anything that could possibly be Tool news.

[Kurrpt]

hey rate the song and tell me what you be thinking

[jamesclelland]

i know you all are very busy, but whenever you a chance, could i get the drums to lateralus? i can do the bass, and guitar someone to vocals, but just for personal projects at school i would like to eventually record lateralus (keep in mind i'm only second quarter and have 4 more to go so i will not be hassling anyone for the drums) just curious if it's possible at some time.

ill do vocals for lateralus, i can never get the main riff down. The timing for the mutes pisses me off.

Just read the comments given in the *shudders* Guitar forum, i think some of their points were spot on for a change. I didnt realise that people found JoZ's tone crappy for it though.

Oh, and Rob, im 65% compatible with you on audioscrobbler. Be proud

Hmm JoZ's tone could have been better, but he layed em down first time and stuff to be fair to him.

But if the album's really good, then it'll boost my excitement, I'm sure.

[Moses]

Hey Kage, I'm assuming you know a little about recording. What's the best way to get drums on a free program? Audacity has no drums and I figure I need to import the drums from a different program.

[Darkness]

You want like Midi file drums right?

[Moses]

Well somthing I won't have to record live.

Then why not play the guitar pro midi file of the drums through your speakers and record onto your mic onto Audacity... kinda stupid but it'd work.

What kind of music is Dredg? I hear alot about them.

[Kage]

I'm pretty sure there are websites from which you can download Midi drums, or use a keyboard. But usually when I record drums, I use Garageband, and that's completely different. I'll research it a little bit.

[Moses]

Wait, how do I do this?

[Kage]

What kind of music is Dredg? I hear alot about them.
They're sort of Art/Progressive/Heavy Rock, in my opinion. Their styles vary from CD to CD, but they have one CD that is pretty hard and heavy and another one that stays more mellow. I'll upload a couple tracks that I think represent them well. Give me a few minutes.

Kurppt- There are some choppy sections, but overall it's not a bad peice. Now could someone point me in the direction of just the bass and drum parts please? I'd like to get my version down as well now that I have Audacity. :D

That's an early song, their later stuff (such as Of the Room or Catch Without Arms) is more mellow, and in my opinion better.

There's one more I'll put up as well.

[Huber]

I don't know if you guys think it's a good idea or not, but something in the Metallica gave me an idea.

We could do like Forced Listenings for Tool/APC songs and get deep descriptions. Also a good way to find good rare/live tracks.

I don't care about them either. My personal beleifs are as opposite from their 'message' as it gets. I find some of their lyrics to be some of the dumbest **** ever written, but then I find some of their material to be some of the coolest stuff. Plus, if they were to actually follow their moral code of hating the government and such, I doubt they would mind if I whored Mezmerize.

Well, it all depends on if you think you will be headlining or a support band. I would try to have 10 to 12 originals and 10 to 12 covers that you could play. You want to be prepared to be able to headline the show if the main act doesnt show up.

There are some great tracks on mesmerize, Question, Violent pr0nography, dead in hollywood, BYOB

But also some rather poor ones Cigaro, Old school hollywood, this cocaine makes me feel like im on this song...
S/T>Mesmerize>Toxicity>STA
I love when they get all weird aobut the songs and stuff. And those are actually some of my favorite songs on there :p

[misunderstood]

Happy Birthday Danny Carey! Heh, I know I'm off topic and this was pretty random but that's the update at the Tool site.

[Magicaltroll]

Well, it all depends on if you think you will be headlining or a support band. I would try to have 10 to 12 originals and 10 to 12 covers that you could play. You want to be prepared to be able to headline the show if the main act doesnt show up.
Yeah, that is a good idea, thanks...

Not like I'll need it for while though, band just broke up :(

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Most people have that video. Maynard goes to hug the dude, he then flips his *** over and sits on him while singing push!t.

Nice avatar! :thumb:

That's one of the greatest albums ever made IMO

[Magicaltroll]

What is that album?

[Darkness]

What is that album?
???

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Mezzanine by Massive Attack.

[Idiot Martyr]

CAn anyone identify the people with Tool during that concert? (referring to the vid that was posted of them in '94)

[Magicaltroll]

???
In the avatar.
They said its one of the greatest in their opinions. So I was wondering what it was.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Yeah, go out and get it. It's part of the small trip-hop genre; EVERY song in there is good. I think I've uploaded some of their stuff on here before. But I'll upload some more if anyone else is interested.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Mezzanine - Massive Attack

I thought I told you that...?

[musicjunky]

has any one heard there cover of terrible lie? i love it! tell me what you think of it

[misunderstood]

^^ Yeah, I've heard that but I wasn't really sure if it really was Tool or not? I don't know, it sounds a bit weird...maybe it's just me. Or maybe I have the wrong recording.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Your welcome, even though you didn't acutually say thanks.

Notice theres a song titled justin there, I watched it and its just Paul ranting on how someone named Justin is a cunt.

'Great job' is the best you'l get from a Brit :p

Seriously though, thanks for sharing. Old live tool is hard to track down

And in Tool related news, anyone get the idea it might be Danny's birthday?

[clearvision]

Mezzanine is indeed quality. You introduced me to them with inertia creeps and risingson... I wasn't quite prepared for teardrop though, that song is darn great :)

[misunderstood]

And in Tool related news, anyone get the idea it might be Danny's birthday?

Yeah, I posted a random Happy Birthday a few pages back.

[Idiot Martyr]

Yeah, I posted a random Happy Birthday a few pages back.

Yeah like 2 people noticed :upset:

They changed the song completely. Its all acoustic, and Maynard does a helluva job on it :thumb:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Never heard it.

[Darkness]

Me and my friend (also a hardcore tool fan) are going to try something that will be really hard to do. Were not going to listen to any Tool untill the new album comes out, just so we appreciate it that much more. I came up with the idea because I noticed how much I was over playing them, him to. We also made a bet that if we caved before the new cd came out we have to pay 10 bucks.

[G_Mac07]

So this will leave you listening to what?

[Darkness]

Hmmm...


Probably alot of Opeth, Rage, Audioslave (new cd soon), Black Sabbath, Meshuggah, Metallica, Iron Maiden, A Perfect circle... all my other favorite bands. :)

[Huber]

Good luck, I'd break in less then a week.

[G_Mac07]

I think the best I could do would be a month :upset:

[Darkness]

Thanks, it'll be interesting what kinda person I turn into without my Tool... most likely someone who gets angry really fast...

If I even last that long that is...

[Magicaltroll]

You'll probably turn into an angry... person.

I could do it for a month or two... I just would try not to come to this thread, and not try to think of them...
That would suck... Thats for like atleast 6 months, if there is a miracle.

[Darkness]

Well, if it goes on for to long, we'll both cave.

[Idiot Martyr]

I'd last maybe a day or two lol

[BlindWriting]

Mezzanine - Massive Attack
I listened to a bit of Massive Attack today. Stuff from Mezzanine. I really liked, and I'm thinking of getting the album.


Of course, if I only had more money...

[Huber]

I'd wait until you had a better idea of when the new album was coming out. Whether it's one month, or 9 months, it'll still be hard and build lots of anticipation. Either that, or I'm thinking of excuses to listen to Tool...:rolleyes:

[Kage]

You'll probably turn into an angry... person.

I just would try not to come to this thread

That's the key. Every time I come into this thread and we're talking about Tool I get the urge to listen to them. If I hid my Tool CDs and didn't see anything about them on the internet or elsewhere, I could probably go as long as three or so months.

[Darkness]

Somedays I just wake up with a tool song stuck in my head... usually the patient or the grudge or 46&2... then I listen, but I can read about them all I want and I'll never have an urge to listen... unless its something like "new demo of new song posted here!"

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

I haven't listened to Tool in a full week. Mostly because of work, and the plethora of music I've been getting.

[BlindWriting]

I listened to Lateralus yesterday.
I'd say I listen to a Tool CD about every three to four days at this point.

[JK_TheJudge]

Oh man Tool is awesome I at least listen to them once a day definitly in my top 5 favourite Bands fav songs from them are Third Eye,Laterulus,Ticks And Leeches and Triad

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

During school, I occaisionally get the urge to desperately listen to a certain song. It ranges from Slipknot to Tool. About a week or so ago, I had the insane urge to listen to 46&2. When I got home, I ran inside, popped Ænima in, and sat for a while in a state of Euphoria.

Sad, eh?

[willis2441]

im starting to really get into tool now,i like the spoongs stinkfist,h,forty six and 2,prison sex,sweat,hush,schism,and much more

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

man thats kool 'spoongs'

im gunna listen to that mad spoong

sorry that sounded funny

and i dont know so many ppl like schism but i find it boring.......it doesnt interest me as much as reflection does.....best song

[Joelbassman]

Hey this might seem odd but whats the whole situation on the maynard going religous on us I've been a bit out the loop and I really want to know if they are going to finish their next album any time soon.

Cheers :thumb:

[PeEpHoLe_10]

^^^
Nobody really has any idea when its going to come out. They keep fuc*king around, they know how to make their fans really want an album to be released.

[Joelbassman]

Tell me about it, oh well... :(

[Joelbassman]

Btw I got given (thats right given) two copies of limited edition Aenima now I have one copy still but I basically sold theother two my mate for 10 $ cause it was in bad condition.

Should I ask for it back and get it cleaned up and sell it for more, or is it just not worth it.

If you want to know what it looks like.

Its has two or one (I can't tell) white people-looking things that look like they are doing extreme yoga and on the case there is a hologram of what looks like california being flooded whe you move it around in the light.

That happens with me all the time, with many different bands. Yesterday, for example, I had the extreme urge to listen to the song Deliverance by Opeth at school and I couldn't stop singing it in my head until I got home and immediately put it in. Usually when it happens with Tool, it's with Stinkfist or Lateralus' title track.

Not sure what you're talking about, both of those images are in the normal CD.

they didnt release any limited edition Ænima cd's it's just the normal packaging. it was nominated for a grammy in 96 for the best package.

[Artemician]

I don't think they ever released a limited edition Ænima. I don't know, I might be wrong though.

Somebody check the Tool FAQ, I'm too lazy to do it now :lol:

[Adam Jones is GOD]

There is a sorta limited edition Ænima CD, with a holographic front. In England, it adds about £5 to the price, yet offers no new songs/material of any kind. Just a groovey looking cover

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

I remember in a shop once the slip cover for lateralus was took off and it was 25 euro and albums usually cost 21 euro and I have seen lateralus for 21 euro.

[G_Mac07]

In Australia the standard album cover is just the still box thing, which featured not Eye. However, I now also have the holographic cover with the moving box thing and the moving Aenima eyes in the background, which added about $10 to the price.

[Kage]

The holographic thing is the standard release in the US. It's all I've seen at least, and it costs the normal price of a CD.

[G_Mac07]

So... Tool thinks they can cheat us bogan Aussies out of a holographic cover aye...:angry:

Well, I guess they did, there's a number of people I know that have never heard of the 'Aenima Eye'

[Darkness]

Yeah the holographic thing is really cool, you stick other pictures under it and they go all 3d to. :D

[Idiot Martyr]

[One Groovin Clown]

Maynard is naked in one of them. Teehee! :naughty:
hes also throwing roses i think towards the contortionist. i love changing those covers, my fav is the eye.

[Kage]

I usually keep mine on the big eye.

[The JoZ]

Long time no post in the Tool thread.

If someone would post, updating me as to what's going on with the Tool cover tracks, I would appreciate it. I have started working long days, and then I have band practice at night, so, I haven't had much time to do Tool stuff...

This weekend, I'm hitting the studio with my band, so I doubt I can do much...but don't think I've forgotten about our little project...I know there are still people waiting it out for more bass...I've not forgotten your requests, I've just been real busy :cool:

[G_Mac07]

I have no idea what you guys are talking about when it comes to seeing maynard naked. I guess the US likes that kind of thing :confused:

[Kage]

There's a picture where Maynard is naked, but I think it's computer graphics and it's really hard to make out anyway. Does your version not have the picture where there are people sitting on a couch watching a person bend himself into a ball or whatever?

[G_Mac07]

Nope. Never heard of that. When I'm sober I scan my album art and give you a gander, just so you can see the differences.

[Joelbassman]

Oh ohk cause my cousins cd is different and I looked in the local cd shop and it was also different to mine

[Shadius]

Yeah, I also seem to have the boring non-holographic version. Sucks living in the UK for this, I guess.

[misunderstood]

Thats what I have and usually what I keep as the album cover...It's actually quite interesting. When I first got it I must have looked at it (and all the other images) for hours, heh.

Kurrupt uploaded his guitar version of Part Of Me, which he also posted in the guitar forum (people criticised your tone :eek:). Im still out the loop completely thanks to financial restraints. And Ken is still (hopefully) going to upload his drums soon.

Not a lot in other words

[Pigs3differentones]

Hey guys, you know what tomorrow is?

It's the 4 year anniversary of the release of Lateralus. That'd be awesome if we got some type of info on the new album in honor of the day, but what do I know...Tool are weird.

I hope something happens.........................................

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

I usually don't like seeing naked men on my CD covers, but to each his own.

The eye is the best IMO.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

You know, in my opinion, and it's probably the same as a lot of other Tool fans, each one of their albums has been better than the last. To me, Lateralus is a brilliant, complete album, and I'm just wondering if Tool will be able to come up with an album even better than that. Anything they put out will be judged against Lateralus, and that's really a lot to live up to. Do you think they'll be able to make an album even better than Lateralus? I really hope so. I just can't wait to hear what they come up with next.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Madey is allowed to like naked men. And the JoZ is pretty ope......


..but anyway, most of the tool pictures are disturbing. Undertow being the worst. And Ænima ones were funny

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Lateralus was a very, very, very, very good album but I still think that it's brilliant. I still believe that Ænima is the best.

But to answer your question, Lateralus is definitely an album that Tool could improve on. I would say that Danny's work on that album was BRILLIANT but other than that, it was just an extremely good album. However, I have heard better.

Madey is allowed to like naked men. And the JoZ is pretty ope......

Ahhh, I was making a joke, but whatever. I always got the impression that madey was a lesbian, though.

I see. What would you consider a better album than that?

BTW, AIC rocks.

[Dude3]

I think their next album will be very comparable, if not, the best. They have improved over all of their albums, although, I can't decide if I like Aenima(I really need to learn how to do the cool letter thing) or Lateralus better.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Ahhh, I was making a joke, but whatever. I always got the impression that madey was a lesbian, though.

I might quote this every page till she reads it. :lol:

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

I see. What would you consider a better album than that?

BTW, AIC rocks.

Ænima
Dirt
OK Computer
Mezzanine
The Downward Spiral
The Fragile
DSOTM

Some of these are better and some are equal, IMO

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

See, I would disagree with you on every one of your album choices. I like all of those. In fact, I love Aenima, Dirt, and DSOTM, but I wouldn't say any of those are better than Lateralus. It's all about preference, obviously. To me, Aenima is a little too repetitive and a bit sloppy at times, and I just prefer the crisp sound of Lateralus. I happen to like the lyrics better, especially in songs like "The Grudge" and "Reflection", but I can easily understand why you would like Aenima better. I'm just obsessed over Lateralus, that's all. Hah, obsessions are healthy, right?

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Well.. of course it's all preference. However, Lateralus is a lot more repetitive than Ænima, imo. Lateralus is more of a progressive album but Disposition, Reflection, and Triad are extremely repetitive. I think those three songs are mediocre as studio versions.

I think Lateralus is a better live album because they add so much in. The drum sequence in Triad and just the overall ambience was unparalleled.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Actually, the thought that, instrumentally, Blackwater Park was a better album than was Lateralus. However, I'm not a big fan of growls.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Well.. of course it's all preference. However, Lateralus is a lot more repetitive than Ænima, imo. Lateralus is more of a progressive album but Disposition, Reflection, and Triad are extremely repetitive. I think those three songs are mediocre as studio versions.

I think Lateralus is a better live album because they add so much in. The drum sequence in Triad and just the overall ambience was unparalleled.

I disagree. I think repetition in Disposition, Reflection, and Triad is what makes them so great. It works to set a mood in there. Kind of like in Shine On You Crazy Diamond (Parts I-V), the guitar solo before the singing starts, is very long, but it helps establish a mood to it and gives it a very satisfying feeling when it's finally done. To me, Disposition is an intro to Reflection in the same way that Parabol (which could also be considered repetitive) is an intro to Parabola. It works for me very much, I guess.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Just remember that the all used to be part of the same song. They only split them to give each section its own title. Ænema was less repetitve in places as it was sepearated by filler tracks every other song, which gave it a more spaced out feel.

I understand that, but when you think about it, there really isn't much to the songs. I know they're different types of songs but I like the other progressive stuff on the album like The Grudge and Lateralus because the songs change more, throw in twists, and have great endings.

Disposition, Reflection, and Triad were all drawn out too long. They really should have just done live versions for those songs because the studio versions are too dull for Tool.

Well, again it's all about preference. I love the length of the songs, to me, like I said already, it really sets a mood for the song. It's just my opinion, and I'd imagine it would sound better live.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Songs like 46 & 2 and Stinkfist aren't as good live, imo. I think that the longer songs with more ambience are much better live because they add so much more. Whereas with the radio-type songs like Stinkfist, the clarity and beat is a little off.

Instrumentals were meant to be live.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Not any proper style tours. They've played shows across japan, and they'll be performing at the Final Fantasy concert in LA.

I should start a petition to get them playing other countries. They would make a good festival addition.

Not yet, though its probably the next progression from my mogwai obsession

Good ol' broadband, though the exact speed im not sure on, as we've apparently been upgraded recently on our ISP. Then again, im not sure what it was before, though ill guess at 128 stuffs per whatevers

(too tired to pretend to know what im on about :( )

[Shadius]

Lateralus is a brilliant album, but I kinda feel it falls under its own weight sometimes. After the title track or maybe once Disposition has slowed my mood down I kinda feel like I need a break if I'm really focusing on the music, and i'm sure other people would fall before this point.

I do love the album as a whole, but it's a little too long, by say, 10 or 20 minutes, IMO. That's not to say it isn't an amazing, wonderful, life changing album. Because it has been all of those things, but it's certainly not perfection. I hope on their next release they could cut down (not necesserally out) some of the more unnecessary parts. Though I'm sure some people would disagree and say "every part is necessary for the perfection that is Lateralus!"

I personally never really "got" Triad to the extent where some people say it's so awesome, though I really like Reflection and Disposition. Sure, Triad's tone is sweet, and it has some coll sounding bits, but it's just more or less a powerchord jamm, surely?

[G_Mac07]

I see what you mean when you say people think "every part is necessary for the perfection of Lateralus. Lateralus is definately not perfect, although like Aenima (can some remind of the alt key to do the AE logo) it does has it's moments (and songs) of brilliance. Hopefully, the next album will bring something to the Tool sound that we havent heard before, and it will become somthing we can all embrace and choose to love.

Also, with the new opening page at toolband, does anyone know if the page on lachromenchy (majory sp?) still exists? and if so, how would I get back to it?

[BlindWriting]

I love Disposition and Triad, but I'm just not into Reflection (even though I listen to it every time). The only thing I really like about it is the tabla playing. Otherwise, it's a rather boring eleven minutes after the first couple of times you listen to it. My only real problem with Lateralus.

[clearvision]

Triad bores me. I <3 disposition with a passion. The way the band gel in that song is just great. Reflection has some great moments but it is too lengthy imo. And triad, well yeah 'powechord jam' kinda sums it up, it's just bringing the album to a close really.

[Kage]

Æ = Alt + 0198

Triad is my least favorite of those three songs. I think Reflection is perfection (/lame rhyme) and Disposition is amazing.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

although like Aenima (can some remind of the alt key to do the AE logo)


Alt + 146

Im sure our music catalogue is well stocked with all kinds of crap then.

Seriously, think before posting such empty crits in a thread for Tool fans.

I think I'm retarded. I still can't do the Aenima logo.

Lateralus is a brilliant album, but I kinda feel it falls under its own weight sometimes. After the title track or maybe once Disposition has slowed my mood down I kinda feel like I need a break if I'm really focusing on the music, and i'm sure other people would fall before this point.

I do love the album as a whole, but it's a little too long, by say, 10 or 20 minutes, IMO. That's not to say it isn't an amazing, wonderful, life changing album. Because it has been all of those things, but it's certainly not perfection. I hope on their next release they could cut down (not necesserally out) some of the more unnecessary parts. Though I'm sure some people would disagree and say "every part is necessary for the perfection that is Lateralus!"

I personally never really "got" Triad to the extent where some people say it's so awesome, though I really like Reflection and Disposition. Sure, Triad's tone is sweet, and it has some coll sounding bits, but it's just more or less a powerchord jamm, surely?

i dont know if you had replies, to lazy to look. but i like triad because i saw it live with meshuggahs drummer. dc and the other guy held a polyrythym throughout the whole song. that and maynard play a second bass guitar. download a live video and you'll see why everyone likes it.

I think I will.

I really liked Lateralus. Probably more than the other albums. But Aenema was a good album. Though I would have liked more real songs it.

How exactly do you do the AE logo?

[Sleeper]

Im starting to listen to more of tools stuff when they had Paul.

Ænima logo - HOLD DOWN Alt and then, on your keyboard's number pad (as you're holding ALT), type the numbers 0198

Your clearly a moron, and not just because you don't like Tool. Using the word "gay" to describe something you dislike is just plain stupid, not to mention you like garbage like ateyu or whatever that "band" is called.


Grow up.

If you look for a lil red dot floating around the bottom of the screen, you can click it and up pops an article on lachrymology written by Blair.

:) /can't believe he was first to spot that...

Anyone in here a Lynch fan?

/Sh!ts self

[Darkness]

The article is really cool, thanks clearvision...

I just read it by the way.

I always thought that the red dot was another dead pixel on my screen.

And Kage, enlighten me on Lynch. Not ringing a bell

Not necessarily a Lynch fan, but I definitely enjoy the films from that other strange, well-known David, Fincher.

He's a filmmaker who is most praised for movies like Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, and my personal all-time favorite movie, Mulholland Drive.
