Tool

[Kage]

I decided to drop out on vox, because I simply don't like the way I sound when singing Tool. If we need to, I have a friend who'll do it, but like I've said that may defeat the purpose/be against the rules in the new competition because he's not an Mx member.

Besides, I think we're going to let letmypeopleho do the vocals. So what songs do you want to do, ho? I really want to do Stinkfist, but whatever other song you want to do will be cool. I'll do my guitar parts for maybe one or two songs tommorrow, and hopefully you'll do your vocals as well, and we'll get this thing rolling.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Then we'll finally have one complete song. :rolleyes:

Anyways, LMPH, do Stinkfist, Sober, and Part of Me as soon as you can. Those three seem to be farthest into production. Part of Me already has everything but vox, Kage is working on the guitar to Stinkfist, which will make everything but vox, and I'm working on Sober, which will be everything but vox, I think.

Can someone YSI JoZ's Sober for me, pleeeease.

[Sleeper]

Whos doing drums?

[Kage]

Yes, that's an issue we need to address. Not that Joz's recordings aren't good, but I REALLY want real drums on this. Ken was going to do drums, but he hasn't been here in forever, and we're hoping possibly Sliptallica or Faith will do drums for us.

[Sleeper]

Well, If Sliptallica or Faith cant do it, Then i could.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Stupid Ken and his cover band and his other band and his paramedics and his internet service.

That guy is one thin spread mofo. :p


Remedy- ur teh 1337 :p

[Sleeper]

I havent read the past posts, But what song have you decided on.

[garth96]

yeah its cool that a band actually pust some amount of thought into their lyrics and art but when it comes to actually playing music it sounds like they're trying too hard. I can't stand when a band becomes so progressive its borring.

How exactly do you try to hard to create beautiful music?
It only shows how strong their (Tool) dedication is..

[Kage]

I'm working on Stinkfist for guitar, since we already have bass for it. Also, I think we're planning on doing Part of Me and Jake really wants to do Sober.

[Sleeper]

I can play Part of me perfect, I havent played Stinkfist in a while. The fills in Sober are tricky but i can manage.

[Sleeper]

How are you guys planning on recording?

[Kage]

If you're looking for insight as to how you'll record your drums, I can provide none. But I'll be recording with line-in Garageband. Then I'll upload a file of my recording and Ben (AJIG) will mix all the parts together.

[Moses]

I'm gonna find the bass tracks if they aren't stale by now.

[Sleeper]

Well whos doing what for now. Such as Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Drums.

[Moses]

Looks like I'm doing vocals unless anyone else wants to step up.

[Huber]

I'd play drums, but I think others could do a much better job. I've never attempted any of the songs you all want to play so it would be sloppy.

[Lateralias]

I'd be able to help out you guys with these Tool cover ideas but unfortunately I don't have a mic to record with, otherwise I could do drum or even guitar tracks... good luck to you who are taking part already :) , if there is anyway I can help besides recording, I'll be glad to...

[Sleeper]

Well the songs are either Part of me, Sober, and i think Stinkfist. I can play all 3 of them solid.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Joz does all the bass.
We have MIDI drums as of now. :p (Ken said he would do it all, but he has sort of...not done it)
KurrptSenate did the guitar on Part of Me.
Kage is doing the guitar for Stinkfist
I'm doing the guitar for Sober
LMPH is doing the vox.

We need a Lateralus song. What can you play from Lateralus, Remedy?

[Kage]

Well whos doing what for now. Such as Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Drums.
Here're the lineups as I've gathered so far:

Stinkfist:
Guitars - Kage
Bass - JoZ
Drums - Remedy, Faith, or Sliptallica (?)
Vocals - letmypeopleho, or POSSIBLY Kage

Sober:
Guitars - Jake
Bass - Joz
Drums - Remedy, Faith, or Sliptallica (?)
Vocals- letmypeopleho

Part of Me:
Guitars - kurrptsenate
Bass - JoZ
Drums - Remedy
Vocals - letmypeopleho (?)

[Sleeper]

Well ok i can for sure do Part Of me for Drums.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Kage, KurrptSenate did Part of Me. AJIG was going to mix it, so ask him for it when he gets on tommorow.

[Kage]

Kage, KurrptSenate did Part of Me. AJIG was going to mix it, so ask him for it when he gets on tommorow.
Yeah, I updated the list. If there's anything else, just tell me, so we can have a solid list of what we're doing.

We still need real drums on Sober and Stinkfist, so the first person to speak up will get dibs on those. If anyone else can do it, it's first come first serve for the drum parts.

I'm assuming that LMPH will be okay with doing vocals on those songs as well, so I'm keeping him there unless he tells me otherwise.

[Sleeper]

I can do Sober, then.

[Kage]

Damn the page change, now no one will see the list.

[Moses]

Yeah I'll be fine doing vocals.

[Kage]

Stinkfist:
Guitars - Kage
Bass - JoZ
Drums - Remedy, Faith, or Sliptallica (?)
Vocals - letmypeopleho, or POSSIBLY Kage

Sober:
Guitars - Jake
Bass - Joz
Drums - Remedy
Vocals- letmypeopleho

Part of Me:
Guitars - kurrptsenate
Bass - JoZ
Drums - Remedy
Vocals - letmypeopleho

And of course, our mixer for all of this will be Ben, a.k.a. AJIG.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

You know what though...The Part of Me that I have sucks. I think Kurrpt did a one take deal on it, and the drums aren't mic'd to perfection. Of Course, JoZ did a pristine job, but I think it should be redone. Remedy, you up for that?

[Sleeper]

Sounds good to me, I wonder where Ken has been.

[Darkness]

Where has the Joz been? He's never here anymore. Same with Ken, but I know hes busy with his own band.

Well I guess the Joz is to...

[Kage]

Good question. No matter, though, we've gotten what we need out of him so far.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

He was on AIM earlier today, I beleive. I didn't talk to him though. He's way ahead of us, so I'm not complaining about his absense. :p

[jamesclelland]

if you guys want to anything off of lateralus, i could do 2/3, 8, 9, 12 (12 wouldn't sound that close to the album version though)

[RockStar]

any knews on tools new cd?

and concerts (particularly to Australia)?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

if you guys want to anything off of lateralus, i could do Eon Blue Apocolypse, The Patient, Ticks & Leeches, Lateralus, and triad (Triad wouldn't sound that close to the album version though)


Lazyass. :p Anyways, How well can you pull Lateralus?

I assume we're talking about guitar here...If not, clarify plzkthx

Remedy, could you do Lateralus?


To guy asking about new album- We're hoping the end of '05. As for a tour, there are rumors of a Tool and Isis mini tour. No news of when, or where, so that's about it. Also, there's rumor of an 18 minute song on the new album that's going to turned into a ring tone. :eek:

[Huber]

If he can't, I can. The only Tool songs I can play are Lateralus and Ticks and Leeches.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

If you're going to know a pair of Tool tracks, those would be the two to know. :p

[Dude3]

Is there going to be anymore songs for the Tool thread, in the competition?
If so, I can contribute some guitar for it.

[Kage]

Lateralus would be fun, I love playing that song on guitar.

[Huber]

I think there is like 965,458,789,652,258,456,321,456 guitarists in this thread.

[Dude3]

Third Eye would be awesome........................................... ...

[Sleeper]

Yeh i can pull lateralus.

[Sleeper]

Third Eye would be awesome........................................... ...
Third eye is really hard to pick out, Such as the begining.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Seriously man...Too many guitarists. Not enough of anything else.

I think we were talking about doing Lateralus and JoZ said that that was the one song that he couldn't totally pull off. The whammy part near the end of the song is what he said he couldn't do. I recall that, but I could be wrong. Either way, it would own.

[Huber]

Indeed, that song is a groovy tune.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Is there a Third Eye tab on mxtabs? I don't ever use those, but it would be nice to have, since there isn't a powertab for it.

[Kage]

Third Eye would be a huge beast to tackle, though. It's tough to get it to sound right on any instrument.

[Kage]

[Moses]

Third Eye is going to be impossible. We should set that aside until we have the other three done.

[Kage]

Yes. We need to start simple, so I think the ones we're talking about now are perfect to begin with.

[Sleeper]

Third Eye IMO, Would be a pain to cover. But if you guys wanna attempt it, Go ahead.

[Sleeper]

Sober would be good to start with, Thats the easiest of the three.

[Dude3]

Sorry guys. It was a joke. Kinda.

[Moses]

Sober would be good to start with, Thats the easiest of the three.
I agree. Then Stinkfist, then Part of Me (different style of vocals).

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I wasn't actually considering Third Eye. It is so far beyond anything I've ever attempted. :p

[Kage]

Regardless, I'm going to get going on the Stinkfist guitar part. Has anyone picked up drum duties for that one yet?

[Sleeper]

No, I dont want to do 3 covers.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Ken.
































Oh. nvm. :p
He told me that he had the electric drum intro all worked out and everything. :angry: Maybe he'll magically upload Stinkfist so we can stop fretting about the drumming and get on the with the rest of the song.

[Sleeper]

That would sound cool.

[Moses]

Where are the uploads? Are they even still working?

[Moses]

Heh, I like how the whole forum is fretting about this contest.

Anyway I'm out for the night.

Night everybody.

[Kage]

No kidding?

[Sleeper]

I have to find a way to record, Then it would only take me a day to record both songs.

[Kage]

Ooh. Drums are the hardest thing to record. It'll sound like **** without the proper equipment.

[Sleeper]

Well ill see what i can do, Any sugestions?

[Huber]

If you are using a microphone, try every position you can to get the best quality. It helps a lot. Of course, a set of drum mics will always be the best.

[Sleeper]

I have about 3 drum mics

[Kage]

Oh. Well then it should be no problem.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Kurrupt's recording of Part Of Me (which he mixed himself) (http://s39.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1DQK3GF4AYI3C0I6PXD5U1HRHH)

Ill start a mass upload of all of JoZ's bass lines. Two have no drums to them (Jerk off and Cold And Ugly). Watch this space

[Adam Jones is GOD]

All JoZ's bass backing tracks (http://s39.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2A4OJSYQSNJH32FUBH8SZL9ZLC)

Including:

Disposition teaser
Ænema
Cold And Ugly
Eulogy
Jerk Off
Part Of Me
Sober
Stinkfist

[clearvision]

Shouldn't we leave this thing open, setting up line-ups is a bit wierd...

We know JoZ is doing bass, ken is doing drums, and whoever does vox is doing them...

If we can get those 3 laid down, guitarists can just lay their part down over the top. I can play all of the songs, it's just getting the tone and time to sit down and work at something. (exams are over in a week :D)

NP : JoZ's demo, <3 bass fill in wait for me :D

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Thats the only track that didnt upload properly for me :(
(hopes JoZ will upload again)

I still say if you want to do any tool track, record it, throw it up on here, and ill see what I can do with it. Ill take any guitar tracks at this stage. (and if you want to mix them yourself, then at least upload the guitar track so I can start fiddling)

I think for us Brits anyway, this will be on hiatus for a few weeks, what with exams for some, and DOWNLOAD FESTIVAL for others

[clearvision]

I have been on hiatus for months, my revision started early this year...

/no life

When people are recording are they changing their tone? Like from clean flange + delay to distortion etc? 'Cause my FX pedal is so sh!t i can only really play with one tone...Unless i record clean and you can jazz up my part with effects ben? Is that what you mean by mixing? Or just putting the parts together :confused:

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I mean by putting together bass, guitar and drums, levelling out the sound so they all compliment, layering sections that are needed, cleaning up any fuzz, sorting out correct panning, and other tweaks.

However, I might be able to add some effects, but its something i've not done before. You could ask Jake, as he uses Audacity effects a bit with his tone, so he might offer some advice.

And while exams are the subject, I wish you and any other exam takers the best of luck (thank god im past all them now)

[Spiritofmosa]

how do apc look live, when they play songs from emotive other then passive.. the guitar can hardly be heard and other instruments are used

[Adam Jones is GOD]

They dont play eMOTIVE live. They never toured for it, and I dont think there will be any plans to. Thankfully.

[Spiritofmosa]

how about other un-heavy songs

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Well the only 'un-heavy' song that they play live is The Noose (im assuming thats what you're getting at). And for that, MJK takes up a guitar, and sometimes James has a Keyboard set up for the intro. And its hit or miss whether its a masterpiece, or a noisy failure.

Apart from that, I dont think there are any other songs that require more than the 2 guitars, bass, drums and vox combo.

[clearvision]

Am i the only one that actually likes eMOTIVE :( I was dissapointed, but i still can listen to the album, there are some great moments there.

I really need to find a patch site for my pedal, then i should be sorted i think....everythings just waaaay to trebly atm.

Cheers for the good luck, i need it :(

...and good luck to anyone else with exams :)

[Spiritofmosa]

wierd.. i prefer 13th steps.. it has this deep feeling..
go back to sleep

[Kurrpt]

im actually a huge fan of emotive. As far as hearing them live, when i saw them last year, it was the BEST concert ive been to.


/never seen tool live :(

nah noose aint heavy, pet and judith are the heaviest i heard
what genre is apc anyway.

[Kurrpt]

the hollow is pretty hard

gimmie gimmie offa their cover album is too

[clearvision]

Apc - Art rock...prog rock...something along those lines

I don't like eMOTIVE better than mer de noms or thirteenth step, but i just think it's too heavily critiscised at times.

[Kurrpt]

yea i agree. its not my favorite, but i would say i listen to more songs on that album than the other 2. i have like 6 songs on that albums i listen to as opposed to like 3-5 on the other 2. For the aMotion Cd = waste. I love the DVD though

[Idiot Martyr]

I definetely agree. I've seen some horrible comments about eMOTIVE. But, to be honest, I love that album. I mean yeah Thirteenth Step and Mer De Noms are better in my opinion but eMOTIVE is definetely a great piece of work.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I like aMOTION more than eMOTIVE. Paz's reworking of THe Hollow is great.

[Kurrpt]

eh, i could listen to it. Im a BIG fan of the studio version, and I believe all the remakes are just worse. At least on the COVER Cd, it could be argued that they are better than the original

[clearvision]

/not got aMOTION :(

am i missing out?

[Kage]

I hated eMOTIVE.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

/not got aMOTION :(

am i missing out?

DVD is awesome, videos and some rare MJK insight into his lyrics. THe CD has some moments, but is still pretty poor. Paz's reworking though like i said, is great.

[Kurrpt]

id say CD, no big deal, DVD, good stuff :thumb:

[Idiot Martyr]

Right now I'm wishing I had aMOTION :upset:

[Kurrpt]

i can try to upload it, but yousendit has been giving me problems. Let me take care of this call first

Well he put the nail in its coffin when he compared it to Pink floyds varying versions of Another Brick In The Wall.

[misunderstood]

I've seen APC live twice and at both shows I was blown away. "The Noose" was beautiful and so was "3Libras". But of course, a fan favorite is always "Judith". They put on a great show. I saw them at the halloween show back in 03 where Maynard was dressed as "Shakes the Clown". I've also seen Tool live and though I'd pick Tool over APC, I must say that even their show didn't top the APC halloween performance.

As for eMOTIVE and aMOTION, I personally prefer eMOTIVE. I actually like the album very much. I don't listen to it as often as I listen to Mer de Noms or 13th Step but I don't think it's that bad of an album. I think it's one of those albums that you can't get into on the first listen, though. I had to spin it a few times to finally say "oh, I like that song" or "that's a pretty good song". Anyway, aMOTION was alright. I can probably count the number of times I've heard it on one hand. But yes, I agree that the dvd has some interesting stuff in there. The extra backstage footage is quite funny.

[Futuro]

somebody in the drum forum posted something about a competion between threads(he was from led zepplin's thread) is the tool thread doing something like this. i havent been here in a day and you guys already have like 6 pages inbetween so im guessing you already made the band if you are doing this.

We're still looking for a drummer on Stinkfist, I think. If you want to do drums for any Tool songs, feel free to go ahead and do them.

[Kurrpt]

We are attempting to get it off the ground yes. Just upload anything, there is not set rules as of this time, as that seems to not be working
We've actually gotten organized on it. We have three songs we're doing, Stinkfist, Sober, and Part of Me and a full lineup on most of them. I'll find the list and post it.


Stinkfist:
Guitars - Kage
Bass - JoZ
Drums - Remedy, Faith, or Sliptallica (?)
Vocals - letmypeopleho, or POSSIBLY Kage

Sober:
Guitars - Jake
Bass - Joz
Drums - Remedy
Vocals- letmypeopleho

Part of Me:
Guitars - kurrptsenate
Bass - JoZ
Drums - Remedy
Vocals - letmypeopleho

And of course, our mixer for all of this will be Ben, a.k.a. AJIG.

hmmmm.... i can easily pull off the song but theres electronics in the beggining and i dont have electronic drums.....besides that,i know EVERY tool song on drums. so if you dont mind the electronic beggining i could do stinkfist for ya no problemo.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Well like I said before, ill be happier once I get my teeth into some guitar tracks :)

I scouted out some preamps today, its looking like £80 for a full set up to allow recording for me. So next month seems like an optimistic time

[Kurrpt]

i havent heard the vocals, anyone have tracks for those (of whoever those ppl are) I wanna see if i can do better, since i think covering mjk and sucking is a sin

[Kage]

Okay, Kurrpt, do whatever you need to do. If you want to re-upload it, that would be great.

Faith, that's awesome. If there are any other songs you want to do, just say so or talk to Remedy about possibly taking one of those off his hands.

hmmmm.... i can easily pull off the song but theres electronics in the beggining and i dont have electronic drums.....besides that,i know EVERY tool song on drums. so if you dont mind the electronic beggining i could do stinkfist for ya no problemo.

JoZ managed to put some rather odd effects to create a unique intro. It doesnt need to be to the note, I would rather hear a tool cover where the 4 inouts all show some unique addition to the song.

And if you want kurrupt, re-do Part of Me. The original was good, but JoZ's bass was a bit too dominant in places

[Kurrpt]

me thinks Ben's excuse for not recording = bullocks!!!


heheh :p

after i audion today, and go home of course, i think ill re-record it with 3 different presets, and yall can tell me which one you like the bestest :D

[Kage]

We haven't heard any vocal tracks yet either. Just upload a song if you want to, and if it's good we'll use it.

If anybody wants to upload a part of any of those songs, or others, then feel free. The assignments are basically the people we're depending on. If someone uploads some kickass stuff first, then we'll use that.

Ben Imma upload something, it is sketchy as sh!t, but i wanna know how your gonna mix it up....It's me romping along with aenima again, this time you will be able to mix it up with JoZ's track though, nad i miss my slide on the first bit of the chorus and theres a little too much backing noise...and the pickscrapes need to be turned riiiight down (didn't know how to do that) :(

Is that how you would reccomend me play the verse, or is there parts i need to change, just before the second chorus doesn't sound correct to me...

I need some kind of monitor so i can actually hear what im playing while playing it...anyone know how i can do this?

ill do vocals for those tracks and guitar.....i need a bass line and some drummy drums :upset:

Thats whats in the link, a .zip file with all JoZ's bass/midi drums in

Rob, ill get to work on it as soon as Mars Volta finishes (finally getting some of my wishlist sorted). Dont fret over quality, at least we'll have a semi complete song

[Kage]

Clear, I just recommend you roll back on the gain a little. I can't give much insight into the actual playing because I don't know how to play that song.

[Kurrpt]

yea no prob guys

Ben: he never did Jimmy and The patient though....

[Futuro]

holy makeral its 29 megs.......im on dial-up

[clearvision]

Thanks, i can kinda control the gain and stuff when im actually listening to it, but when playing through a line in i can only hear the ound of the actual guitar...so it's tough trying to keep notes from ringing etc...

And i'm still searching for the right gain setting, and trying to educate myself on how to use my pedal...

But yeah thanks...

Ben what mars volta is it? I rediscovered drunkship of lanterns today, that song is soo good...

[Kurrpt]

hey if anyone wants the 2nd best song by Liquid tension Experiment, i just posted it in the guitar LOD....

im sending the best one now

LTE - paradigm shift

Lte - Universal Mind. Unfortunealty i can only play about 45 seconds of this song on guitar.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Clear, I just recommend you roll back on the gain a little. I can't give much insight into the actual playing because I don't know how to play that song.

Yeah, I agree, most Tool tracks I can play to about 3/4 gain, where Ænema requires a lot less to give it that less muddy effect.

Although (not sure if it was deliberate or not), I love the harmonic additions to the rhythm muting part (after the opening riff). Ill see if it synchs up with JoZ's. (I assume you played to his rather than the album track? Drew seems to be a bit quicker than the album tracks)

And I got De Loused, rather than FTM. I figured after what people told me about that, ill stick with the one I know a few tracks from already. Im loving it a year later than most, but at least now its in my collection.

[clearvision]

Yeah, the twas joz's track...i had to leave a little intro space for me to get ready though, cau'se joz starts his recording when the midi kicks in...you should be able to line it up easily though...

[Huber]

I'm going to try and nail Ticks and Leeches just for kicks. I'll upload it if I do.

I agree. The track sounded really good overall, but the tone didn't sound like Adam's, which is the only problem.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I'm going to try and nail Ticks and Leeches just for kicks. I'll upload it if I do.

I can mix it with Tools version for no reason if you want. I did it for JoZ with jerk off, just to show how well he nailed it.

[clearvision]

I only got into deloused and TMV at christmas, drunkship of laterns is an amazing song...and take the veil carpin taxt is also quality...

[Futuro]

I'm going to try and nail Ticks and Leeches just for kicks. I'll upload it if I do.

hahahaha fun song it took me a while to get the intro down i believe it shifts from 7 to 8 and vice-versa cool song

(if he can play ticks and leeches perfectly he is better than me, so you should prolly go with sliptallica)

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I only got into deloused and TMV at christmas, drunkship of laterns is an amazing song...and take the veil carpin taxt is also quality...

Personal favourite track after first play.

Im noticing while synching these up, JoZ uses a weird percussion effect at points. i never noticied it until putting it up against a guitar track, but its like a chime (?) And the background noise I had also forgot about, il ltry and clean it up a bit. I remember him saying he might re do it.


Just on the plus side, some sections of this are sounding really cool, and more importantly, unique for the song. :thumb:

Either way, you're a better choice. You're a great drummer, and I'm limited to my play time because infinite people live in my house and are all lame about me playing.

[clearvision]

Nice, i like the little break i stole off the powertab just before the chorus...

i did notice those chimes! might have been somethign in his house going or something..

[Futuro]

that sucks, i live by myself during weekdays so:lol: i kill my neighbors grrrrrr.....JK

this was to sliptallica....you guys post really fast on here

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Is it me not downloading properly, or do you only play up to the bass only part?
(I was just getting into it :( )

Either way, im cutting out the evil background nosie that JoZ has at the start, givng some sections a bit more guitar kick, and some a bit more bass grovve, then ill upload my workings. (Ill try and cut the little stutter at the start too between the first two bars :p)



Edit: And that was to Rob.

We love to post in this thread :thumb:

[clearvision]

:lol: joz's track was faint and i couldn't hear where he came in :(

Yeah i cut after the second chorus, i will probably just record it in 3 sections or something, cause i'm noway gonna eb able to keep it going...and i need to use my trst slide (pen) for the solo...I'm trying to make it interesting, but the end part sounds awful cause i can't get the pen to go across more than one string at a time...

[Kurrpt]

what are you editing with....

and i JUST got pro tabs. Any suggestions ....how to use it, how to take adavantage, what it can do, etc

[Kage]

Sounds like you're doing some great work with the mixing, Ben.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

what are you editing with....

and i JUST got pro tabs. Any suggestions ....how to use it, how to take adavantage, what it can do, etc

Adobe Audition, and for parts that I need, Audacity. Not needed so far though

And i've just screwed myself out of 10 minutes hard work. i cut a section, and the boundaries changed, so it fell out of synch. And I had it lined up PERFECT. :upset:

Take two it is (we're past the undo stage)

[Sleeper]

If i cant find a way to record my drums by the end of the week, then im going to have to drop out.

[Kurrpt]

dam. I wonder how my pro tracks is. The thing is still in the fukkin plastic, due to me with no time, and do not have a consistent access to a computer. Plus, its like, ok i have 2 hours to kill....should i play guitar, or edit...hmmm....yes i think guitar

[Kurrpt]

anywho i hope you guys like that CD i uploaded more than i do........:lol:

im off to a band audition...so hopefully i fuk some sh!t up and land me a band that doesnt suck arse

[spenser93]

Good luck, I haven't listened yet, Faith no more's King for a day.. album is playing.

Toolownsyou started this thread, that fellow obviously didn't agree with his point of view...

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Well, I did all I can do* to the track. Its a pity the drums and bass arent seperate, could have got some serious panning mess about going. But here's the first section. Feel free to crit my recording style (i would have liked the guitar louder, but JoZ's recording was already pushing the red compared to Rob's more mix friendly track.)

Rob And Drew - Ænema (Tool Cover) (http://s18.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0QTSZMA3FAQ97011M823XNE4JE)



*all I could be bothered to do before TV distracted me

[clearvision]

Nice job AJIG, i can have the guitar slightly louder, i can see where the emphasis needs ot go in the verse now...really not liking my pick scrapey things though, they'll have to be changed...When does this competition close, cause it's gonna take me a while to get this good i thinks...

[Adam Jones is GOD]

No idea when it ends, its not even been properly organised yet.

That was good practice though, It'll be awesome when I get hold of all four parts. I could even venture into having 2 guitar parts in the mix if they seem close enough to each other.

Man i wish i could get a career out of this

[clearvision]

I have some 2 guitar part shiznit floating round my head for sober, if i get it sorted I'll yousendit the session file or something, i think adobe audition is the same as cool edit.

[Cort2003]

wow that was a pretty horrible recording of Aenema, if there is any kind of way that you could send the drum and bass tracks to me then I will add the propper guitar part.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

And on a side note how the **** do you guys play Tool stuff!! I just can't get the rhythm's right, especially in the verses when the guitar isn't as clear, I play what I would play, then stop and listen and realise Adam is playing some weird *** ****!

Do you guys read off tabs? Or do you use Powertabs and get the rhythm from there?

[BlindWriting]

Thanks for that Amotion stuff. I really like "Outsider (Apocalypse Remix)", as well as the Weak and Powerless remix which I bought from iTunes before.

[Idiot Martyr]

last track...and thats that

Thanks, I'll definetely buy aMOTION now :thumb:


Man I'm gone for a few days and like 20 pages are here, so hard to catch up in this thread.

[Futuro]

The You Send It file of joz's bass playing would take me 8 or more hours to download and i can't be on the internet that much at one time (im limited use customer). Do you know if joz did it by "feel" or by playing to the actual track? if it was to the actual track ill send a file of me playing EXACTLY to the track. if it was by feel could you just send the Stinkfist file by it's self thanks for the help.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I'm DLing JoZ's basslines. I hate dialup. :(

Anyways, I recored Part of Me about 3 hours ago. I double tracked it and everything! I didn't like the way it turned out, so I scrapped it and learned Forest by System of a Down. Then I ate dinner.(Ribs and fettuccini, if you care to know) After that I gave an attempt at Sober. I planned on doing it like this: Recording the overdriven parts in one track, then going back with my acoustic to play the flange parts. I planned to add an effect to my acoustic track. I got it all down, but I tried added a wahwahthatdoesn'treallysoundlikewah effect and it turned out like crap, so I scrapped it. :( Now my parents are watching TV so I can't record anything. Gay.

I still need help on how to do the part after the 16 measure guitar rest. How do you do the squeally deal? It's probably impossible to tab, so, just tell me whereto put my fingers and I'll figure it out.

Ben, or whoever has JoZ's Sober bass track-I hate to be so picky and gay, but could you please YSI the Sober bassline? I can't be on more than 2 or so hours, and I'm in the same position as Faith+1. :( Thanks in advance.

[Moses]

Ok, looks like I missed alot since yesterday..... can anybody update me on what we have done and what is going on here?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I thought this may be of interest to some of you guys. It's a Tool theme for your compy. I haven't DLed it for my self, but I figured some of you may be interested. (http://www.fileplanet.com/132226/130000/fileinfo/Tool-Band-Theme)

LMPH-Still looking for your real name so I don't have to acronymate your s/n. As for your question, not much has happened. Rob uploaded the guitar to Ænema and Ben mix'd it. Ben also uploaded all of The JoZ's bass tracks into a ZIP file on page 342, in case you were interested in that. There was also lots of APC talk. Kurrpt uploaded all of amotion, I beleive. (Not sure why it took him 10 posts to do so, but hey, whatever.)

[travis-rocks]

hey guys im a drummer and i want to do the track for the competition. i can play all of travisis licks but i havent heard any tool, but the drummer cannot be as good as travis barker.

[Kage]

Gimmick!

[Ashermerkabah]

Track: Eulogy
Album: Aenima


This is what the song means to me.. I could be right, I could be wrong.. Usually with TOOL there is no wrong answer. Anyways!

Here is the dictionary Definition of Eulogy:

Eulogy - A laudatory speech or written tribute, especially one praising someone who has died.?


This song can be used towards anyone with power, such as a dictator, president, GOD, etc..
For conversation sake, lets use god. Maynard takes a sarcastic approach in this track, going back and fourth
From being serious, back to sarcastic remarks, lets look at how the song starts

Eulogy Being the bible in this case.


He had alot to say.
He had alot of nothing to say.
We'll miss him.

So long.
We wish you well.
You told us how you weren't afraid to die.
Well then, so long.
Don't cry.
Or feel too down.
Not all martyrs see divinity.
But at least you tried.

Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice that was strong and loud.
We'll miss him.
Ranting and pointing his finger
At everything but his heart.
We'll miss him.


Maynard sets the theme, of someone powerful standing over a crowd.. I picture the time of Christ, people in robes, with god preaching to people hungry for the word of god. Yet all he is saying was just a waste of breath, a waste of time. Hence Not all martyrs see divinity, But at least you tried.â I picture this good ol cartoon act. the devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other, arguing between each other, just for better understanding. Hence he had a lot to say then he had a lot of nothing to say. The last verse make me picture god, because if you have ever read the bible it describes, that no one is perfect, but Christ. ranting and pointing his finger at everything but his heart.


Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice so strong and loud and I
Swallowed his facade cuz I'm so
Eager to identify with
Someone above the ground,
Someone who seemed to feel the same,
Someone prepared to lead the way, with
Someone who would die for me.


Back to the devil/angel theory.. This person is lost, so he looks for someone to lead the way for eternity. Some one that could relate to him. And someone above the ground (all the features of Christ) so this person believes in christ, for help. For guidance, yet he is stabbed in the back rather then being at peace.
Facade, stands for a face of a building as in God shows his face, all beautiful and perfect, but when you enter the building its thrashed and messy


Will you? Will you now?
Would you die for me?
Don't you f*ckin lie.

Don't you step out of line.
Don't you f*ckin lie.


The messy building reflects his lies.. Picture it as if the person has fallen for the beginning message, yet finds out everything he knew or was told were all lies.


Come down.
Get off your f*ckin cross.
We need the f*ckin space to nail the next fool martyr.

To ascend you must die.
You must be crucified
For your sins and your lies.
Goodbye...

I feel this is after he understands that you dont have to be a follower to have eternal happiness. And is somewhat just making fun of the whole situation.

Welp.. there it is hopefully it makes sense, it does to me. And like I has said before I could be totally wrong.

:evil:

Who here knows what Aenima is a tribute to? Bill Hicks! Ding! tell him what he's won Johnny!

Yep, that about covers it. Anyone heard of Bill Hicks? You guys should really check him out, he's the best comedian I've ever heard. Hits on a lot of really great points. Check out his relentless cd or rant in E minor and then re-listen to Eulogy, it makes a lot more sense, and you surely don't have to stretch as far. Just trying to shed some light. Take Care!

Cheers for trying again, I dont dare touch bittorent stuffs myself.

Ill get the various requests sorted once I re-read through the thread.

EDIT: Right, two uploads asked for. here they come

JoZ's bass for Stinkfist (http://s11.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=28J0GPA69KD8V1N43Z90XEF02L)

....and the bass for sober (http://s51.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3C9F95CWQFGCO3QKL4AKOR0SNZ)

As for how he recorded them, he played along with the album track, you can tell with some as you can faintly hear the track playing in the background.

[EinzingerIsGod]

Hey guys...I havent followed this thread at all before so forgive me if I'm bringing up an old topic here but I heard rumors of a new Tool album maybe even this year. I know thats probably very unlikely with Tool but still....is there any truth to any of this?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

We're still armed with only rumours im afraid. All we know is they are working on an album, they have quite a bit of material coming together, but no idea of release date.

Im starting to think that people should start making predictions on what date the album will be released on. Then a prize for the closest

[Otherside]

My estimations: September.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

If you pinpoint to an exact date, even better.

Reminder that most UK new releases happen on a Monday, so that'll narrow down date selections. Not sur eif its the same in the states.

AND IF THE US/UK RELEASE DATES DO NOT COINCIDE, I WILL BE ONE MAD BRIT :angry:

Oh, and my prediction: October 24th. But thats a hopeful one, as that would mean its out for my birthday

[EinzingerIsGod]

It's hard to say without knowing how much they actually have done...but ill say december just because I know we'll end up waiting till close to next year

[Otherside]

September 21st then... I'm not sure, but I think NA cd's come out on Wednsdays?

[Futuro]

Eulogy (to the best of my knowledge) is about L. Ron Hubbard. But yeah I guess Bill Hicks was a big inspiration on the album. Though I don't think it was a tribute to him.

[clearvision]

joZ recorded playing along with a midi file, he was playing from sight on his comp...

[Lateralias]

Eulogy (to the best of my knowledge) is about L. Ron Hubbard. But yeah I guess Bill Hicks was a big inspiration on the album. Though I don't think it was a tribute to him.

I think Eulogy could be applied to Bill Hicks, Ron L. Hubbard, and somehow (and some people believe this) it could be about Maynard himself... speaking in third person.. Though I think Ron L. Hubbard would be a prime choice because Aenima was the album that Maynard vented his anger about Hubbard... Like so on the title track "**** Ron L. Hubbard and **** all his clones.."

Remember that Tool always stresses for the fans to form their own interpretations :thumb:

[clearvision]

I think it's a big ole generalisation for many people who aspire to be martyrs, it explains that people who actually want to become martyrs, don't become martyrs. Same kind of thing as 'A person that wants to be a politician should never be given the chance'...Maynard basically says it's not all fun and games so come down get off your cross and stop bothering people. He may have had someone in mind when he wrote it, he may have not...I'll guess we'll never know...

I'm actually liking amotion atm, thanks kurrpt :)

Well, my real name is Nojus, but Dancin' Man calls me Moses because of my sn so call me what you want. Ok, well I found a track for Part of Me with all the parts on it, so you may get some vocals for that soon enough. That is, if everyone gets out of the house.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Blah. They're completely different drummers. Danny Carey's music is 340979833985987x more complicated but Travis can beat the $hit out of a snare and has impressive solos. If only the guy would write some good music so he could show off his chops more.

[Darkness]

All he can do is hit the snare really fast, nothing else.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

I saw a good solo by him. But he can't write good music, and that's a HUGE negative.

Travis may play well with a snare drum, but Danny... oooooooooooooooohhh boy.. Danny tears it up on ALL of his drums... even his electric pads (Triad)
and a major plus is Danny can completely blow a simple 4/4 beat out of the water by writing around it with some wild time signatures and rhythms... the man is a genius.. best influence for drumming that I've ever had :)

[Moses]

I used too much reverb.

[Huber]

I got a real copy of Undertow today. Woohoo!

Edit:

To the Travis Barker guy, Travis is a pretty good drummer, but don't be so ignorant and say he's better than someone you've never heard of. I think Danny Carey is better than Travis. Travis has done some great drumming with the Aquabats though, however it still doesn't touch anything Danny Carey has done IMO.

[Moses]

Why does this thread die almost right when I post?

Also, yeah Travis Barker is good and I've seen his solo's but Danny is a more accomplished drummer, and he's just a better drummer overall.

[horseypie]

speed drumming isnt as good as drumming in insane patterns like the fibonnaci sequence and putting crazy time signatures over things

Bolded for truth :p

Guitar tone is awesome though. The 'solo' has a different feel too.

Apart from sounding like you sang them from a well, your vox shows promise, it has the right feel for the song.

What equipment did you use to get that tone btw?


And Med: no news on the album, but the rumour of an August 17th release of a DVD too another boost with the rumoured album name becoming the rumoured DVD name

[XyleM]

i havent found a TOoL song i couldnt play, whats the problem, what track?

The Grudge (that riff you were having trouble with replicating) , The Patient (although this is easier) it starts at [4:50] When I read the tab and then play it sounds completely ****ed.

Although i have never really sat down to learn them, I spend like 20 mins on one song and when I don't get the rhythm right after a couple of shots, I just crack the shits and play other stuff...

[Idiot Martyr]

And I couldnt remember the exact date. The next few months are a big cluster of dates and numbers that are important

(8th Septmember being the best so far, OPETH!)

[Kurrpt]

i did. I was thinking about redoing it soon. Especially when i get my Mark IV

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Was that your recording he did vox for? It didnt sound the same somehow

[clearvision]

I'm actually so pissed that The mars volta are supporting SOAD. When SOAD's album came out i was like ehh they've got a great album, would've been a good concert to go to, but my firends couldn't make it....then the mars volta support :upset::angry:

The only thing that might better that combo, is if NiN and Tool tour together...or Fantomas support Tool. Or maybe Massive attack as tricky is in contact with the band.

:upset:

And i have forum lockup withdrawl symptoms :(

And lots of Bio work to do, and i haven't even started music yet and my exam is on monday :upset:

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I dotn think TMV are supporting on the UK leg though. Tickets are practically al gone now, same with NIN London dates.

[clearvision]

It sold out ages ago, hence my moaning.

And i think they are supporting at brixton, tonight, tomorrow and sunday...

o shi' there is still tickets left, soads site says so :eek:

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Ill see SOAD on Sunday anyway. TMV would have been a great bonus though.

And am I still hopeful that NIN will make a suprise apperance at Download?

[clearvision]

If they do, i will eat my hat...

I've been slating the download lineup for months, yet 1 band could change it all...who you gonna go see, in flames or sabbath?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Sabbath. Though Reuben are on the 4th stage at the same time :(

The highlight bands of the weekend for me

Biffy Clyro (fanboy)
Megadave (just because)
InMe (See if they went the right way with their new stuff)
Napalm Death
Meshuggah
Mad Casule markets
Trivium (I like what im hearing from them)
Mastodon
Team Sleep
Slayer
SOAD

And those are just the bands im wanting to see. Loads more to check out who i've heard good things of.

I dont know why people are so critical of it, it still seems miles better than Reading/Leeds from a R&M point of view

[clearvision]

I was looking forward to reading, but my friend couldn't ge cash...

Manson
Incubus
Foo's (though their electric stuff on the enw album is pants)
Maiden
Kasabian
QOTSA
The mars volta?

I really don't like megadave, trivium are ok, but nothing too special...team sleep would be nice...

What way are you looking for inme to go?

Back towards firefly or more poppy like faster the chase?

[clearvision]

Oh and i think nightwish will be interesting, sorry for the double...I'm having withdrawl symptoms and my edit isn't working :(

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Back towards firefly or more poppy like faster the chase?

Towards the Crushed Like Fruit style of song writing. Faster The Chase is better than their bad tracks on the last album, but they are borderline on either getting really good with their writing, or just plain whiny crappy lyrics.

Im hoping to catch a glimpse of Nightwish and Lacuna Coil. And also, I wouldnt mind hearing what they sound like. :naughty:

[Kurrpt]

you two should get a room hahhaa




anywho, still no word on any other covers or what not.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I've just downloaded Jake's guitar part for sober, but his intro is odd, so its hard to synch it up with JoZ's. Ill need to discus it wit him next time he's online.

[clearvision]

Do we get to hear his attempt? Or is a secretive operation?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

He linked to his soundclick page in the emergency cover band thread in Other Music. Its not bad for someone who only bought Undertow in the last month

[clearvision]

Hmm he slated my aenima i wanna give him hell :p

Nah it's cool to see what people are doing with sober, cause i have loadsa little counter melodies that i'm gonna add in when i do my version...can we have the soundlick page?

[jamesclelland]

didn't someone say they were having problems with a tool track? if you send me an e-mail, i can write a better description on how to play it, what time signature every instrument is in, what to time yourself on, etc... other wise i'll take up about two pages trying to explain it all.
