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

After the first viewing, no I had no idea what was going on. But I think that's kind of the idea. It stayed with me for several days afterwards, and I just thought about it a lot. I saw it a second time, and things started falling into place. After the third time, I had reached some conclusions about what it was about.

A great deal of the appeal is the mind-bending surrealism and the lush Noir quality. It also explores a subject that absolutely fascinates me. (and I can't say I didn't enjoy the steamy lesbian scenes to a great degree :naughty: ) I actually am working on a write-up analysis for it for a website, I'll post it here when I'm finished.

If you're a fan of surrealism and dark, strange movies I recommend them strongly. Mulholland in particuluar, I find that movie to be a masterpiece. I didn't like Blue Velvet, because it was very..straight-forward. I don't like mysteries much, either. I recommend Eraserhead as well, but be prepared to come out of it feeling weird.

That's actually the only part of the movie I've seen... (yeah, I know.) But I'm definitely interested.

And now that you mentioned surrealism, has anyone here ever seen Un Chien Andalou? It's a seventeen minute short film made in the 1920's, by Luis Bunel and Salvator Dali, and is one of the pinnacles of surrealism. I got the chance to see it at a rare (at the time) screening in NYC. Very amazing and strange. I highly suggest checking it out, now that it's available on DVD. It's opening minute is probably the most shocking in early cinema.

I kind of like all those hidden messages and stuff. Good work.

And Tricky played the guy in the Parabola video who had those things coming out of his head. His little bouncy alien friend was killed by the floating orb.

And if someone wants to explain the symbolism in that video, I would love it.

Someone suggested that the tour wasn't Isis but VOLTO as Blair keeps tlaking about them, but he had no evidence except blair talks about them. And i can't see any logic to why it may be VOLTO and not Isis.

Wear your grudge like a crown of negativity.

Desperate to control all and everything.
Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen.
Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
Justify denials and grip it to the lonesome end.
Clutch it like a cornerstone. Otherwise it all comes down.
Terrified of being wrong. Ultimatum prison cell.

Saturn ascends, choose one or ten. Hang on or be humbled again.

Unable to forgive your scarlet lettermen.

Wear the grudge like a crown. Desperate to control.
Unable to forgive. And we're sinking deeper.

Defining, confining, sinking deeper. Controlling, defining, and we're sinking deeper.

Saturn comes back around to show you everything
Let's you choose what you will not see and then
Drags you down like a stone or lifts you up again
Spits you out like a child, light and innocent.
Saturn comes back around. Lifts you up like a child or
Drags you down like a stone to
Consume you till you choose to let this go.
Choose to let this go.

Give away the stone. Let the oceans take and transmutate this cold and fated anchor.
Give away the stone. Let the waters kiss and transmutate these leaden grudges into gold.

Let go.

Saturn was used do to the whole mid life chrisis thing occuring when saturn returns to the poistion it was in when you were born.... But I can't answer your other questions.

Anyways, I was looking for some cool tool wallpapers, and it dawned on me how sweet it would be if I was Adam Jones. He's a badass. Just a random thought of mine that I thought I'd share.

[Huber]

The Scarlett Lettermen thing I'm almost positive is a reference to the book called The Scarlett Letter. The book is about a girl who wears an A on her chest that stands for adultory because she had an affair with another man. She was looked upon by everyone as a slut, when all she did was simply love another person.

Note: Her real husband lived in like, another country or something so it made more sense then what I typed first.

The cornerstone thing I'm not really sure about, but this is what I thought of it as:

If I'm right, which I might not be, a cornerstone is something you would hold onto when climbing something. So if you don't hold on to it tightly, it will all come down. So whatever you translate as "it" being clutched should be held on to.

I read a VERY interesting interpretation of the album Lateralus where it had to do with Naohs ark and the whole sory of Noah or whatever. I have no clue where though... It was really cool though.

A conerstone is the indispensable and fundamental basis of something, eg "the cornerstone of an argument". so yea... work it out from there? I can't think of the words to explain it.

There is some religion or belief system whose name I can't remember now, but when Saturn returns to the position it was at when you were born, which takes 30 years to do, you are supposed to give up all your grudge's.

On the topic of "The Grudge, I believe the thing about Saturn and every 27 years and reinventing your life is true. The Scarlet Letterman is pretty obviously a reference to "The Scarlet Letterman", and maybe the song is actually about someone who was wrongfully accused of something and he can't let it go and he's still very angry about it. Maybe The Grudge is Maynard talking to himself, who knows? Oh, and I also have no clue what "Choose one or ten" means. A cornerstone is the basis of something. If you clutched a grudge as your cornerstone, it would mean that you would hold that as a strong belief of how to live life. Did that make sense? It's kinda' hard to put into words.

In The Grudge, I'm sure what you've all said about Saturn coming around every 27-30 years or so.

The Scarlet Letterman line, well when I first heard it I immediately thought of Nathaniel Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter. Like someone already said, the main character has to stich the letter A (Adultery) into her blouses and always has to wear it to show everyone she was an adulteress. Her husband married her because she was young and beautiful but he didn't really love her. So when she moved to a Puritan settlement in New England and he stayed in England, she had an affair with a minister named Dimsdale. The whole settlement looks down on her (Unable to forgive her) and wants to take her baby away.

So out of that I got: Someone who did something wrong and someone else holds a grudge against them for it.

The cornerstone thing, a cornerstone (literally) is the basic foundation block of a building. But in this case it most likely means a basic principle or ideal. The song doesn't say Clutch the cornerstone, it says Clutch IT like a cornerstone, meaning-Hold onto this (possibly the grudge that you bear) like it's the most important thing you have.

At least that's what I got out of it.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

[Kage]

Ben, I know you've been curious about Team Sleep, and I'm not sure if you've bought their album yet or not. All I can say is that it's pretty average, and close to what I expected. The production on it is terrible, but the songs range from great to bad and everywhere in between. The drumming is awful, but it's just not my style.

I just got back from seeing Team Sleep live, and it was an okay performance. Chino basically drives the band, and, at the risk of sounding like a Chino fanboy (which I'm not), he's really the only reason I enjoyed the show. Overall it was too noisy, the light-show aspect was nonexistent, and the drummer was annoying. I must say I spent the majority of the show yearning for Chino to rip off his guitar and the rest of Deftones to file onto the stage.

I know you've criticized Chino's voice in the past, but really it was right on the entire night. His singing was great, and probably the best aspect of Team Sleep's live show. His vocals are great live. Perhaps he's improved significantly since you've seen him, or maybe he sounds better in smaller venues, but this makes three for three great vocal performances that I've seen from him.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

^^ Thanks for the info Kage, ill still make sure I check them out at Donny (they clash with Slipknot and Lacuna Coil...big loss), and ill see what I make of them. Ill reserve buying an album though, I hate crap production more than anything.

Chino sounds awesome at Donny (first time i saw Deftones, 2003, before thier shocking Wembley gig), so I hope he keeps it up.

^^ Thanks for the info Kage, ill still make sure I check them out at Donny (they clash with Slipknot and Lacuna Coil...big loss), and ill see what I make of them. Ill reserve buying an album though, I hate crap production more than anything.

Chino sounds awesome at Donny (first time i saw Deftones, 2003, before thier shocking Wembley gig), so I hope he keeps it up.
Re-reading through my post, I realize I might have been a little harsh. I do recommend that you see them when you get the chance, because it is an enjoyable show.

I guess they're playing at Download (?) when you'll see them, so I'm assuming they won't have the same opening band, but they were great. It was forty minutes of instrumental improvs that were very atmospheric and ambient. I liked their set a lot, but unforunately it's a very new and unknown band, and I haven't been able to track down any of their material or info on them.

[clearvision]

I like team sleep's album :( it's exactly what i wanted. An elaboration on teenager from white pony. I think the drumming is pretty cool in places...but i think they use a drum machine sometimes :confused: I use the album to sleep/read to most of the time...I'd give it 7.5/10

Not many albums score high in my book Aenima, Lateralus, Kid A, Thirteenth Step, Toxicity and Break the Cycle..are the only albums that have ever got 9/10 or more...so yeha i like Team sleeps album :)

Not sure i would enjoy them live though.

NP : Deftones - S/T (not as bad as people say so far)

New audioslave album is so sucky i had tot urn it off halfway through :( A poor mans chilli peppers in my opinon...thoughts?

Team Sleep is pretty much what I expected...but for some reason I just don't like the way it sounds. To me, it sounds messy or something. I can tell the sound they're going for, and it seems to come short of the mark. I heard Kool-Aid Party (a song that isn't on the album) and it was just this crazy, unique, trippy song and I wish there were more things like that. I love Tomb of Leige (sp?), Your Skull Is Red, and Blvd Knights. I give it a 6.5/10.

And I love S/T Deftones. It's tied with ATF for my favorite from them. I was listening to that today as well.

Really man? Most people who have listened said its not that bad at all. I've only heard the singles and other clips of other songs but I thought it sounded pretty good... Oh well, I'm still buying it next week.

[clearvision]

Yeah don't let me put you off or anything. It just dissapointed me slightly, the solos sounded out of place and stuff.

I am <3'ing Gary numan's pure album and some portishead/massive attack stuff. Aswell as some fall out boy :eek:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I found White Pony to be not as great as I expected. Minerva is VERY cool song though. The intro sounds just like a little riff I wrote before I heard the song.

I hate when that happens. You write a cool whatever, but you find out later that your idea has been taken.

It also happened to me when I came up with the concept of glow in the dark toilet seats. :(

To guy with huge avatar-The link is broke. I got you covered though

I've been listening to alot of Prodigy lately myself.

They have two sides for me. The side that makes the good original music, and the side that makes the generic dance turd.

And to Otherside when he reads this, Samurai Champloo is AWESOME! I got to watch it at my friends (who is a big anime nut), so we set it up on his TV (we have the power), and watched it in all its glory. We spotted the spike-esk parts straight away, but it still felt unique.

However, the scene changes between the two fights got annoying with the scratching screen transitions.

well, technically......................................i guess that would be a yes....but its complicated. I had a desire to be in a band, had troubles joining others. Made my own. Problem is, the drummer was supposed to be temporary cause he refuses to learn the music. The bassist i got is now officially poisoned by this drummer, so i need to find a new project.

Harsh I have only recently only joined a new band but the drummer is being a **** (all drummers are pricks) and all he wants to do is metallica not even stuff he makes up just metallica so we dont know what to do now.

[Kurrpt]

well, if my drummer wasnt such a lazy arse, and actually learned some metallica songs, i would do them. Im not a big fan, but that would be SOME effort, as opposed to the 0 he outputs now. Hes all about "doing originals" but cant even learn a single dam song from beginning to completion.

I was discouraged for a while, now i just focus on my technical skills and say FUK THEM

Yeah he wants to anticipate and appreciate the new album more. That could mean a year or longer without Tool :eek:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

You guys both seem to be in a fairly sucky situation. For me, I have no chance of being in a band for a couple reasons.

1. I've only been playing for 8 or so months, so I doubt any established musicians would want to creep at my pace. :p
2. The area I live in is 3/4 hispanic. Mexicans don't like rock. I like rap
3. Right now I am engulfed in school, and when summer hits, I'll be working full time.

However, I've been trying to convince one of my friends to pick up drums again. He did percussion for our school's band for 3 years, then gave it up when he hit high school. I'm not sure how adept he is with a full kit, but it would be worth a shot. That would be a fun project. :p

Fix'd for misconception.

[Darkness]

When I go to Italy this summer for 2 weeks, my friend said I'll be aloud to listen to one Tool album, as a kinda intermission. I look forward to that trip now because of that.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

What album are you going to listen to?

[Darkness]

Either Lateralus or Ænema, but probably Lateralus.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

The other quarter are also rap loving fags. (I'm not trying to diss rap, I'm just saying that they don't listen to rock, so it's hard to start a rock band when most people just want to 'freestyle.')

You know, you wouldn't even have needed that insincere sentence in parentheses if you weren't obtuse enough to call people "rap loving fags."


On the Tool-fasting bit, I'm considering doing the same leading up to the concert, so I don't become borderline (here it is) bored with them.

[Darkness]

Thats one of the reasons I'm doing it, as I was over playing them to much...

[Futuro]

i used to be in a cover band of tool so even when i didn't feel like listening to them i had to.

[Huber]

I'm not going to completely stop listening to Tool, but I'm going to ease up on it. I haven't been listening much lately. Maybe a song a day/every other day

[jamesclelland]

i'm so pissed, i lost lateralus. i almost want to cry.

[Futuro]

ahhhhh... cds are cheap so buy a new one

[horseypie]

or you could burn it and be a musical pirate and sail the high seas of soundwaves without paying a cent

I have a fullt time job for the summer to pay for my new equipment for guitar :cool:

there is no verse guitar part?

[Kurrpt]

i think hes talking about the 2p0 parts during the "verse"

[Adam Jones is GOD]

The part 'where everyone has a different way of playing it, but no one can seem to get it like the original' bit.

Wait, thats pretty much the whole song.

[Kurrpt]

yea i have a problem with lateralus now :-(

[The JoZ]

I have a good MIDI of Aenema, and alot of Tool songs, actually. :cool:

It's what I use to learn the songs.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

yea i have a problem with lateralus now :-(

Now THAT bit does suck. Its so hard to pick out the guitar part over MJK vocals and the other rythym playing

[Kurrpt]

its the dam mute in between the bar chords (power really). All the tab shows him playing mute 2 times, but i hear the recording and think its fukked up

[Futuro]

which part?

[Kurrpt]

let me get the tab...hold on

Palm muted bit. The verse one is great to play, but its just when it goes into MJK more regular rythym singing part ("As below, so above and beyond, I imagine" - part). It just gets me fuddled

Though its probably out of hatred of doing a rythym section in a song for a longer time than lead, thats made me lazy enough to not bother playing it properly

[Futuro]

just do the second mute each time

That part is tricky, and it's what made me not play that song for awhile, because I'd get there and start ****ing it up and never go any farther. It gets lost in the bass, drums, and singing. But if you sit down, turn it up, and really concentrate, you hear it perfectly and you can get it down pretty easily. I also don't use powerchords for it, because it doesn't sound like a chord to me, I just use the root notes.

. I also don't use powerchords for it, because it doesn't sound like a chord to me, I just use the root notes.

I do the same trick with Ænema, sod the chords, do the root, add the high D every now and again for the 'clincking' effect.

Plus root notes allow for more messing about* than chords.

*improv to make it sound fancy
Yeah, exactly. The chords in that section make it sound too bloated, because the bass and drum parts are really making it heavy already there. Plus, I do throw in a few little slides and things to make it more interesting.

guitar pro, you got a link for that?

could you explain please...what it does, etc?

thanks

[Futuro]

guitar pro plays the files on my song book, and shows you how its written, you can download just about any artist. there will be drum parts, bass parts, guitar parts. (sometimes theres vocals). If you click the link mentioned above you can find out how to order it if you search the main page. (i got mine for free from the last guitar player i had)

You can always use the poor mans version, Powertabs, which is free to download, and does the same purpose, only in midi. And isnt as nice to read as GP

TALK ABOUT A LAWSUIT!!!!

hmm.....nevermind then

[Kurrpt]

then again the copy ur using would also be illegal

can you write your own music using powertabs?

[Kurrpt]

ive never used it to be honest with ya

[Adam Jones is GOD]

can you write your own music using powertabs?

Personally? A bit, but i struggle.

But as in software purpose, yes you can. You can write out the guitar and bass score on tab lines, and you add the note types, etc.

Its not as easy as GP's ol' click-the-fretboard thing, but its ok to use and piece together songs. And there is a large database of pre made songs available from its ite too

And I know that wasnt aimed at me, but I like talking :upset:

[Futuro]

then again the copy ur using would also be illegal

shhhhhhhhhhhh keep it on the down low also im on dial up it would take forever

im a drummer, but using guitar pro is how i learned all danny's parts. i suck at writing guitar but its fun to fuk around on GP.
sorry bout the double post i just thought someone had posted already.

this thread posts really fast, compared to the drum threads.

thats kewl then dont worry about it. I was just like, hey if you're splittin hairs, i got a long one for ya haha

I think the tabs on power tab are alot more accurate then the ones on Guitar Pro. I found one ticks & leeches tab on there that was mad wrong. And it had no drums, thats like stairway to heaven without guitar.

any ways have you ever done the lateralus code Adam?

surely you know what im talking about?

You mean the holy order....

WAIT?! Why wasnt that the first thing that came to my mind when I got the program?! I CAN do that now! Thanks for the 'reminder'.

nope thats not what im talking about that was a fake idea "the holy order"

i mean the REAL way

[Adam Jones is GOD]

nope thats not what im talking about that was a fake idea "the holy order"

i mean the REAL way

Im lost. There are so many things around Lateralus that im losing track of what each one is.

Refresh me. Are you talking about song order at all, or something else?

[Futuro]

it has to do with song order and layering the tracks correctly. Aiden poured his heart and soul to decipher lateralus but he was overshadowed by some dimwit who said play the songs in a certain order dont worry about the layering process and youll have the same effect..... what a dumb as$

what really happened is that no one figured out how to listen to it corectly because someone said there was a code before him (it was wrong) it turns out theres a ton of stuff on the cd lateralus that most people dont know. as in ticks and leeches are 2 different songs(ticks being the beggining of the end and leeches being the absolute end with 3 songs in between) if you check out the lenght of mantra you will notice it fits perfectly in the "soft gap" of schism (think about it I know the peices fit). the simalarities do not end there.

Tool is not a religion.
I do not worship Maynard.
Other than that, I am not here to preach.
I cringe upon hearing the phrase "Maynard is GOD".
It's just a band, and i mean that.
I'm obsessed, not blindly dogmatic.

Really? I read the whole thing no problem.

Im getting a bit confused by this site. Some of the things he's suggesting just dont seem right.

Mainly the layered mantra/Eon Blue/Patient super track. unless the pitch changes really make a massive diffeence, it just sounds cluttered

[Darkness]

It seemed to make sense to me, but I don't have that program, nore do I no how to use it. So basically, I'm of no help.

Good luck though.

[Kurrpt]

sounded like melarcky. Id check out a finished product though

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Ill see what I can throw together. Even if I end up with a Lateralus megamix without any of the cool edits, ill be happy

Mainly the layered mantra/Eon Blue/Patient super track. unless the pitch changes really make a massive diffeence, it just sounds cluttered

if you do it correctly it will fit perfect

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Im loving the Faaip fit-in with Ticks And Leeches. The bass parts kick in just at the right time, just as he says 'they are not what they appear to be'

[clearvision]

Save as mp3 + YSi plzkthx :D

Yes, a Tool shirt that dosen't resemble a sexual organ.
I would constantly get comments for the back picture of the nerve on my Lateralus sweater. It looks a p u s s y.
A lot of the other ones resemblea male's too.

Good news


1. Aiden is a badass

2. I'm getting DSL.

3. Ben, when you're done resplicing Lateralus together, you can YSI it to me, because I will have DSL. :p

Anyways, that site is freaking amazing. I gave up on beleiving in the Holy Gift, but this sounds far more synchronized and intentional. :D

[Idiot Martyr]

its amazing how some people's taste in music is so flawed

Yeah confuses me a lot too.



This thread grew like 4 pages in the day or two I couldn't get to my computer lol. Amyways, what's the deal with the layered Lateralus? And what's faith+1 talking about with the three separate songs in Ticks and Leeches? I always there was something weird about that song but never quite figured it out.

Awesome, I'm glad you liked it. I finished the series last weekend, it's such great stuff. I'll have ep2 up for you tommorow, or maybe really late tonight.

Oh and don't worry, that is the only fight scene that has transitions like that..

dont email him bull crap youll just be helping him break in his delete key

as i said before somebody took credit for his work but they didnt understand it so they created the holy gift......which is a pile of crap

[Dude3]

This website is awesome. I really like how he mentioned that the end of Leeches will probably connect to the first track of the next album, as it was suppost to be heavier.

im not sure if i like how you put that "supposed" i think they have pulled out far to many roots from ambience psyche stuff to be some straight forward rock band, and there not performing chopfests on the guitar so they cant be a real Prog rock band. i think it will come out how they imagined, as long as maynard still does it for Yohoo.

[Magicaltroll]

Faith+1, if you can post your layered and cut up version of Lateralus, please do.

:D

:D

first off no dsl it will take a while but i see what i can do.

i would have to find it again, its not on my computer anymore, its on a cd

i think i might still have the Ænima on my comp though. not sure....let me dig around a bit.

Ok, thanks.

[Huber]

I wanna here some of these spliced Tool songs. Lateralus always had some kind of...missing thing about it. Like every song has a question mark at the end.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Yeah, I'm dying to hear the spliced versions.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Ill start uploading what I did now. Its not great, but I followed that site for most of it, and used my uber DJ skills ( :upset: ) to make some of the transitions work.

Things I found cool in it:

The way Faaip De Oaid fits in the long mellow part of Ticks And Leeches (perfectly)
The Parabola to Lateralus section (I messed it up, it shoudl fit the first note perfectly on the last harmonic)
Mantra to Parabol is pretty sweet.

Ill post as soon as its up. In the meantime, ill work on a personal re working, as I still dont like some parts of that one

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

I can't wait to hear the finished product. I hope Faith+1 can upload the Lateralus one. I'm more interested to hear how that sounds after he has "made all the pieces fit." It's such a cool idea.

Hey, everybody. This is my entry for the prog metal competition so far.

http://s38.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1WJVM0N138SN60NX7M4N6RISUD

Don't yell if we actually went back to being a Tool only thread, I haven't been here for a while and a half.

[Moses]

Feedback?

/Bump to get noticed.

[Werny]

Yeah I haven't posted here in ages.

Does anyone think that Disposition and Reflection are A LOT like The Sheltering Sky by King Crimson? Yeah without the mellotron or whatever it is, I know.

[Moses]

Anyone mind assessing my progmetal entry?

[sexycakes]

Feedback?

/Bump to get noticed.


umm...

the majority of it is just off beat noise.
I kinda like the buzzing sounds in one of the parts.

Your drummer is off alot
Or you
Either way, it doesn't sound tight.

All in all, i think you tried so hard to be prog that the song doesnt even sound like a song. Dynamics are nonexsistant, and dynamics make everything.

just my humble opinion

[G_Mac07]

Did anyone else notice that on that Aiden guys site he quoted Maynard as James Maynard Keenan. I'm pretty sure this is incorrect. I always thought his real name was James Herbert Keenan, and Maynard was a name he adopted because he was a war hero of his or something.

Am I wrong?

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

You are correct. His real name is James Herbert Keenan. It was probably just a typo.

[Magicaltroll]

I always hear people call him Maynard James Keenan.
And yeah, I know thats not his real name.

[G_Mac07]

Ok, thats what I thought. It seems odd to me that someone so interested in Tool would make that kind of mistake. Thanks anyway guys.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Ben, when you did the splicing and whatnot, did you add in the dynamic curves like Aiden did?

(I'm not sure if they're called dynamic curves, but I saw a couple of diagrams on the site, and it looked like he did some kind of wierd deal with the volume throughout each track.)

[Futuro]

volume envolopes is there "official name"

I tried. i copied the diagrams exactly at first, then when i understood what they did, i messed about a bit myself. The end result was a half good, half original version, thats neither my own mix, nor the example demonstarted.

Take 2 on uploading starting now, stupid thing wont zip down.

And otherside, much thanks again, ill d/l and watch tommorrow. My friend will be very pleased, and we've even managed to get more people into it

[Magicaltroll]

So whos posting the spliced version of Lateralus up?
