[Adam Jones is GOD]

I say you upload tracks for the same song and il piece them together :p

[Moseswasbanned]

Ok, what about Clear?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

*It's spelled Nojus :thumb:

I know, I tried to give you a nickname.

:p

/fails

EDIT: Good idea. Let's wait for a few more Toolophiles to approve of our plans. We already have a majority vote of 3 to 0, but we should still wait.

[Moseswasbanned]

I also like the Soundclick idea.

Until then though, theres nothing stopping anyonedoing their own recordings on any tool songs and uploading.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Yeah, I mentioned something to that effect on the last page.

Congrats on your 900th post ITT, Ben.

It seems Ben doesn't care as long as he has something of substantial value to mix together.

This is the Stinkfist cover.It's in no way connected to MX and it's just me and my friends take on it.

Where are you from? I hear a thick accent.

[Moseswasbanned]

Noway, I killed it again.

[clearvision]

I'm just gonna put aenema together...

Find someone with drums and vox or just vox and go that way...may have to record vox myself...

Main task at the moment is just to get something done really, we cna see what we're gonna do from there, wether we do a medley or try a different track, this isn't gonna work on first attempt anyways...

That vocalist is nearly very good indeed, well in the verses anyways...needs to be more aggressive in the chorus...

/I really hate crit'ing peoples voices...

The rest of the music was pretty tight, can't really notice anything 'cept lack of bass? and the little interlude part is dodgy with alternating between 14 and 17...

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Im just gonna be honest....I hate those vocals. Sounds like a seriously off key Thom Yorke at times

But im not a vocalist, so ignore my opinion

Now an instrumental point - Everything is tight, except the section around 2:40. That has to be my favourite sction to pla yever as you can jsut piss about with string scrapes, muted notes, harmonics, smashing head against pickups, strangling your bassist, etc. It sounded too empty and weak without a bit of messing about.

Apart from those niggles, everything else was tight, drums sounded good throughout, bass was flawless (if a bit pushed back in the mix).

You didnt ask for a review I know. But your username is too cool not to.

[Moseswasbanned]

I liked it, but I agree with Clearvision that the chorus wasn't agressive enough. But I'm sure it was just you and your friends messing around. Anyway try and do parabol/a guitars for us.

[Moseswasbanned]

Maybe I shouldn't post since I keep killing it.

[clearvision]

Heh, you just leave us with no topic of conversation to carry on discussing...

His username is very funny in the context of the recent spam events...

[Kage]

That's never to be spoken of again.

[clearvision]

OK Sir. :rolleyes:

[Moseswasbanned]

His username is very funny in the context of the recent spam events...
You know I didn't even realize that.

Anyway, so I'm gonna practice singing Lateralus for the next couple days while everything gets put together. Who's doing what now?

Vox lemypeopleho
Guitar Kage?
Bass Joz?
Drums Faith+1

[Kage]

I'll work on getting a recording for Lateralus on guitar, but I think we're just going to let anyone who wants to put up his own sample and we'll take the best of what we have and let Ben do mixing. I know Clear wants to do Lateralus guitars, and I'm sure there are several other people as well.

[3074326]

Does JoZ have a bassline recorded for Eulogy? I'm talking to 307 and he would gladly do the guitar for it. I think it would turn out great. it feels like I'm the only one, though


Yeah mayne, just let me know if anything happens with Eulogy. I usually don't venture into the enormous community threads.

[clearvision]

I was just playing with the song earlier on a break from studying, I may post a version if i get the rythms for the two riffs...

'Cept i play it up a string, and with pinch's

EDIT : Where did the [Code] thing go? and wtf is up with font's on this thing :(

[Kage]

The rhythms on those riffs are very tricky, but for the first riff you posted, if you turn it up and listen carefully, you'll get it.

[clearvision]

The first riff is the easier of the 3, but the time signature messes me i think... i always seem to play the 0 too early, i play along with the powertab so i know which notes i should be hitting when, it's just tricky making me play it that way.

Yeah I know what you mean, that's exactly what I did when I was first learning it. The second riff you posted I sort of just flow with it, I don't think I have it exactly down but it still sounds good and I stay with the song. As for the third one, I'm not exactly sure what part that is.

[Reywas]

It's near the end when Maynard stops singing.I think Adam uses a wah pedal there.

[clearvision]

I play it up a string...

8:37 on the CD

I just took the tab off tooltabs thinking most people would be most familiar with it...in fact the song ends with that riff..

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Adam plays that last riff a lot differently live than on the record.

I use that tab, but instead of playing the Open D, I tend to fret the 15th fret on the top D, and add wah. It sounds better with my set up at least.

And that first riff is still the part I hate the most about Lateralus

[Kage]

That explains it...I've never gotten to the very end of that song.

[clearvision]

http://s24.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0C2MCXY3DBHU90L3MQ44OS2FSP

Me jamming lateralus...

Opinions on the rythm of the riffs? and clean tone? I don't think the distorted tone is too good...

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

The timing seems to off on a lot of it, clearvision. It's not bad, but it's not that great either. I hate to be a critic, it's just the way it sounds. And the distortion is quite "H"-like. Which would have been good if you were playing that song. You just need a cleaner, crisper sounding distortion.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Yeah, the distorted tone is pretty poor, but im guessing this is jsut you showing us if you're playing it right.

/puts on crits hat.

THe rythm throughout seems correct on all the sections.

First part (opening) - I think you're missing a pull off/hammer on in part of the riff, kinda takes away the flow. The clean tone is brilliant though, that open D can sound terrible usually, but you got it at the right level.

Main Riff part - Good rythm, tone doesnt do it justice though, but it sounds like you get the mutes in correctly

Solo - Played flawlessly, get a good tone on it, and it'll be magic

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

I really wish I had a microphone on this computer, because I'd really like to help you guys out in any way that I possibly can.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Imagine how I feel! Thats why I fobbed my way into some form of involvement

[clearvision]

Heh, nice :cool:

Just need to sort my ****ing tone out. :( I may just record it all clean and see what i can do on cool edit with distortion....

I may have missed the pull offs by accident, i only played that part once through when recording them.

I think i hit the pinch's pretty well, but it took me a while...

EDIT : you should brave line in on the soundcard...I now have both my comp mic and my line in working at the right levels, and my soundcard is on-board...

[Kurrpt]

i doubt i could download that bitch on dial up, but ima try it anyway

[Adam Jones is GOD]

TO be honest, if you play that solo without the pinch harms, and just add some wah, it does the same trick. Just pull out the odd pinch as a party piece to wow the ladies.

[Reywas]

Clearvision Open D owns.
What equipment are you using?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

i doubt i could download that bitch on dial up, but ima try it anyway
Its only over 1MB. Its a mix of the different parts people struggle with

[clearvision]

Yamaha pacifica 012 ---> Zoom 606 multi-fx ---> line in to on board sound

I'm really not competent with a wah, i may have a fiddle when i get some time...

[Moseswasbanned]

I liked the clean tone, but the distortion tone was not so good. That's about it though.

[clearvision]

Yeah i said the distortion was pants...I'm gonna have to fiddle...It was mainly the rhythm and actual playing i wanted crit...

[Kurrpt]

ben: what you mean "mix of different parts"?

[Kurrpt]

Yeah i said the distortion was pants...I'm gonna have to fiddle...It was mainly the rhythm and actual playing i wanted crit...


well ill let ya know what i think in like 7 minutes. Its at like 4.85 kbps.

[clearvision]

I played 4 different parts of the song, to make sure my playing was ok...

not the whole 8 minute track...my thing only lasts like 1:30 or something

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Moses, you were asking about the lineup for Lateralus. I think that it's gonna be you singing, Faith+1 drumming, JoZ on bass, and the guitarists are gonna upload their renditions, and we'll all choose the best one. That's what I think, anyway.

[Kurrpt]

clearvision: beginning was off....for rhythm, i play the part a bit differently but i think yours DOES work well. As far as the solo, i think it sounded a bit labored. Id work on that maybe a bit. I havent worked on the song much besides the intro and the first hard part before the verse actually. i was using the wrong tab forever, Ben hooked me up with the correct one, and ive been working on other stuff.


As far as tone, i think that should be the least of everyone's worries. I figure, if i get it down 99.9%, then id worry about getting the "sound"

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Hey, how did your audition turn out?

I'm a whore, and I am also bored out of my mind, so here's my rendition of the first solo in Lateralus. I used a Mesa Double Rectifier model, which is built into my effects pedal, along with some delay and some wah. It's not a perfect recording, but hey, close enough.

Lateralus solo (http://s10.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1U98FRGRYF33C1BDYJQ912Q728)

[Adam Jones is GOD]

One word: Timing :p

Great sound, and you're hitting the right notes. The first solo is more complex than the second (both are childs play though as long as you have the feel). You were waaaay too quick at the beginning, and you slowed down too far at the end.

But that can happen sometimes, get those sorted, and you can gurantee your solo will be in the mix at least

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I could feel my self losing tempo when I was playing, but when I played it back just now, no kidding. :p

Yeah, I'm out of my typically meticulous mode for some reason.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I applaud you for uploading before you actually heard your own recording. Thats a first.

In other news, I put an old mic in the mic slot of my soundcard out of sheer desperation. (previous attempts had resulted in lots of machine like noises and other audio nasties), and I actually picked up me tapping on the mic.

I will experiment futher tommorrow, to see if it can pick up an amp playing.
(gasps). There may be life in the ol' girl yet

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

This would definitely simplify things, since you seem to be dedicated to this. :p

In other news, Metalhead announced that there is no song limit in the competition...

[Futuro]

hmmm well if we have till the first of next month im not gona rush the recording of lateralus(i want it to be PERFECT)

[Matter]

Yes, however, you are going to be everyone's backing track. Don't take too much time. :p

Matter- Of course you can. :) What do you plan on doing?

[Matter]

Prolly Eulogy..maybe 46and2 or Push1t :thumb:

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Prolly Eulogy..maybe 46and2 or Push1t :thumb:

I like your drum kit. :thumb:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I'd like to hear 46 & 2. We've already got plans for Eulogy, but be my guest. \

What would Rounder be doing? You on drums, Rounder doing..

[Darkness]

You guys should do an APC cover. :p

[Moseswasbanned]

You guys should do an APC cover. :p
That'd be alot easier. Though the vocals maybe harder because there are two vocal lines in almost every song.

[Moseswasbanned]

I don't want to sing for Eulogy, I'd probably butcher it. His range is incredible in that song.

[Matter]

I'd like to hear 46 & 2. We've already got plans for Eulogy, but be my guest. \

What would Rounder be doing? You on drums, Rounder doing..

guitar and bass i guess. If you guys are going to do eulogy I guess we could do Pu**** or 46 and 2. (this is rounder btw). Personally I would like to do either eulogy or The grudge. Eulogy has been my fav Tools song for a while and Matter can play it now, and we've never tried that one yet. But if you guys are doing that, we will do something else.

Possibilities include:
Flood (minus the long intro)
Undertow
stinkfist
eulogy
462
push1t
Intolerance
third eye (if we can genetically alter Matter and give him some extra limbs)
The grudge
Schism

[Futuro]

i would really like to hear that 46 and 2 solo again matter

[Moseswasbanned]

Any way I'm out all, so start talking.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

No, Rounder and Matter wanna do their own things, so I guess in essence, there are 2 squads going, but hey, if they want to, that's cool. On second thought, why don't you guys do Eulogy. Then Chris could just put his geetar on it, and Moses, you could sing on it. Sweet deal.

Never mind, I just saw your post. :p

Perhaps someone else could do it...:shrugs:

Anyways, I rerecorded Ticks right now. I'll upload it to my soundclick. It's a pretty good recording, and it syncs with the track. (with a bit of tinkering, due to my sucky computer) Perhaps we could do a sample cover of it. :eek:

After Lateralus, that is. Faith, when do you think you're gonna do it?

[Darkness]

Thanks. :rolleyes:

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/writePage.cfm?myType=_music&bandid=332764&bandnamesave=drjakedestructo

Ticks is the top one. It turned out way better than I thought it would. It's still not a perfect recording, but it's close to enough to upload.

And for Ben-I listened to it a couple times before uploading it. :cool:

[Futuro]

your link isnt brining us to the right place.....i could probably have it PERFECT by the 10th that will give me a few days to NAIL this epic song. if i can get it perfect to the cd earlier i will post it earlier but 4 days seems about the right time to really get this song right.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/writePage.cfm?myType=_music&bandid=332764&bandnamesave=drjakedestructo

Whoops. Try that.

Thanks for the date. If you don't get it by then, don't rush yourself. I'd rather have something high quality than on time. :p

[Lateralias]

You guys are going to attempt Lateralus!? Way to be brave :p
By the way I was listening to this song the other day and I always feel a great uplifting strength at the outro when Maynard's voice gets bolder, "With my feet upon the ground..". I absolutely love Tool makes that part so agressive but uplifting at the same time.

Wow I'm probably the first one in awhile to talk a bit off subject of this cover competition (which I sadly can't help with :( )

[BlindWriting]

Hey, what if we covered APC's "When The Levee Breaks" from eMOTIVe.
We'd be doing a cover of a cover of a cover...!

Same.

I was joking about doing it, but my point stands.

[Futuro]

they ruined that song.....thats the end of that

realy nice distortion sound you got there Jake.what pedal are you using?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Wierd. I saw the Zep thread right, and I thought it my head "Hmm we could cover Tool's rendition of No Quarter for the cover competition." :p

Lateralias, I get the same feeling. At that point in the song, I'm basically on top of the world.

Digitech RP300A. It's got a Mesa Dual Rectifier amp model built right into it, so that's about as close as you're going to get without actually having Jones' setup. The one thing that I'd like to change about my recording is the fact that I didn't use any delay, but it's one of the driving forces of his tone.

About When the Levee breaks- It's one of my favorite Zep songs. I've only heard APC's cover of it once or twice, but I don't recall it to be very great or anything.

[BlindWriting]

Wierd. I saw the Zep thread right, and I thought it my head "Hmm we could cover Tool's rendition of No Quarter for the cover competition." :p
I'm listening to that right now. God, I love it.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

The intro makes me cringe. It's written in such a wierd key. After the minute mark, it's so insanely uphill. I don't listen to this song enough. It's probably because when I listen to Tool, I listen to albums, and I usually don't choose Salival as the album I'm going to listen to.

[Futuro]

i really enjoy listening to salival....not sure why.

[Joelbassman]

Any updates whatsoever on the new album?

Sorry if this has been asked a million times :(

[Vandle]

From www.toolband.com --- Might be good to check this site before posting :)

LISTEN, it’s great that so many fans of Tool’s music are so eager for specifics about the recording process, wanting song titles, track listings, the names and social security numbers of engineers and producers, and even the ability to download samples of the recording sessions! Unfortunately, at this point I’m not at liberty to reveal these things, but if and when the band decides that they want certain details to be made public (such as social security numbers), they will undoubtedly get posted on the band’s official site (where I still manage to sneak a few things in…shhhhhhh). In the meantime, there’s always the rumor mill, and those who make up their own album titles and release dates… and do a pretty good job at that!

But great job, thats the kind of sound quality I can work with. Ill try and put it with Tool's version to give you an idea of how well you kept the timing

Lateralus solo (http://s10.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1U98FRGRYF33C1BDYJQ912Q728)


My audition went well, but im not convinced i belong in that project. My main influences are TOoL, APC, zeppelin, LTE, things of that nature and it sounds like their main influences are 3 doors down, wussy kinda BS. Plus the bassists's mom backed into my Mx-3 and scratched it hahahaha.


I would love to compare the mesa dual rectifier patch I have for my GNX4 to ur Rp 300 i think you said. I just got AWESOME patches for a stilleto, Trip Rec, and Triaxis. Im stuck on the soldano right now.

As far as the whole cover thing, no seems to be doing my 2 favorite songs, and i dont want to compete for my guitar track against other. I would love to an APC cover, but i cant see that working out for some reason.

[XyleM]

Those recordings were pretty good, But the Lateralus one's intro seemed slightly off, but other than that it was pretty good :thumb:

And I liked the Stinkfist cover, but I do agree with what seemed to be the general consensus which was, the singer wasn't putting enough effort, or emotion into the chorus' particularily.

[Lateralias]

i really enjoy listening to salival....not sure why.

Salival is a wonderful album, it is overlooked alot though.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Push!t live, Third Eye live, No Quarter, and You Lied are all great.

[Reywas]

I just played Parabola on my acoustic.Sounds pretty good.I'll nail/upload it as soon as school stops bugging me.I have like 6 exams tommorow and the next day.

[Lateralias]

Push!t live, Third Eye live, No Quarter, and You Lied are all great.

You forgot about Merkaba :upset:
It's a great song.. just hard to get into the first few times

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

It's a great song? Sure it's a bit of a "psychodelic experience" and the percussion is great... but as a full-length song? I wouldnt call it "great."

But their No Quarter cover is one of my favorite songs by Tool.

[Rothmans]

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Oh, I forgot about Part of Me... my bad.

Cue somebody saying that he/she thinks Message To Harry Manback is Tool's best song because it sets some sort of atmosphere for the rest of the album...

...**** pretentious people

[Rothmans]

Haha I hate L.A.M.C it is just annoying there is nothing great about it just maynards dick but message to harry manback I is well better than the II one.

(rounder) its my personal opinion here, but most people who post vocals here do one thing wrong. they "talksing". They try to sing the way they do when theyre just listening to the cd on headphones. In order to sing properly you need to push from your gut like your puking. when screaming you need to do it like your yelling at someone whos being a dick, just screaming your head off. After some practice you can control it, but your not singing right if your at the same volume that you talk. singing properly sounds really loud.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

How's Lateralus coming along for ya Faith?

[Futuro]

im having a little problem keeping the verse's perfect with the track everything else aligns real nicely and the little drum solo is still sketchy i should have worked it by the 9th or 10th PERFECTLY. its wier, when i played this with a tool cover band i never noticed i went a little out of rythm on the verse.(im talking milliseconds so the tom hits sound like flams when the real track and my version are lined up.)

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Like I said, there is no need to rush. We know we both want it to be golden. :D

Anyways, after that, I think it would be cool to do just the first part of Ticks and Leeches. (The part I uploaded) I know it would be a lot to handle, but Moses is willing, and I'm sure The JoZ wouldn't mind swapping out his A-tuned bass strings for his standards. :p

[Theodagoth]

well if anybody reads this I'm going to give you a nice good laugh. I don't remember where i saw this, but this is how some moron actually interpreted the song 'Stinkfist'. He said it is about anal fisting. I couldn't help but laugh, i think i replied to him by saying thanks captain obvious. Sometimes I wonder about some people. Tool is supposed to make you think, this guy just must have just barely enough brain capacity to breathe. Oh and in response to the creator of this thread, when refering to Opiate. I don't think MJK would ever look down on Christ. MJK is an extremely intelligent man. I don't know too many Americans who know who Krishna is. He would never belittle someone who was selfless. Don't get me wrong I'm not Christian, i hate the church, but Christ he was a man as great as Buddha, in my view so he should be acknowledged as a good soul.

[Futuro]

anal fisting :lol: what will people think of next.

[Spiritofmosa]

i dont understand what mer de norms is about, who is judith,thomas,rose,medgela?

[Kurrpt]

they are some rivers in some country, hence "mer de noms"
judith was a in person in biblical times

[Adam Jones is GOD]

i dont understand what mer de norms is about, who is judith,thomas,rose,medgela?

Mer De Noms = Sea Of Names. They named it that after noticing so many of their songs had names as their title.

Judith is the name of MJK late mother, and because he found the song so good, he named it in her honour, and a lot of the lyrics relate to his and her faith being tested by her illness

As for the others, im not too sure.

[Rothmans]

I think Magdalena is a (presumably intentional) misspelling of Magdalene. Mary Magdalene was a woman who was part of Jesus's entourage, and has always been rumoured to have had some sort of sexual relationship with Jesus, in spite of there being no evidence to support this. The lyrics possibly refer to Jesus's alleged desire for her.

Thomas is possibly a reference to Doubting Thomas in the Bible (one of the 12 disciples of Jesus). I think the lyrics possibly mean that Thomas is asking for forgiveness from Jesus after it has been shown that he was incorrect to doubt him, and Jesus has indeed been resurrected. Again, the theme of faith is very important.

Rose I don't really have any idea about. There aren't any Biblical characters by that name which I'm aware of, and I don't really know anything about the song itself...


Rose is about a poet called William rose and maynard hinted towards it in the song saying will I I am rose or will I am rose and I will look for the poem now in the second if you google it you will find it.

[clearvision]

Magdalena is a play on Mary Magdalene IMO

About a lover maynard had in secret, he refers to the woman as 'his magdalena' '
I'd sell. My soul. My self-esteem a dollar at a time. One cahnce, One kiss, One taste of you my magdalene' seems to suggest it's secretive/not legitimate. And he wants more...

...which im guessing is the same position jesus would been in, he couldn't abandon all the mircales and spending time with his disciples for her, so wanted one chance one taste etc. Also the way the song ends is kind of a cut off point, he wan't more but he can't have it, the song ends and the oppurtunity is taken away. Jesus life ending?

^Darn thatw as ridiculous, i kinda got carried away i thinks...

EDIT : OMG look who caught the moses disease :(

[Darkness]

I'll save you clearvision.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Wow... very dead. Glad to see that people are talking about Mer De Noms for once. I've actually been listening to that lately. It's probably a little better than 13th Step IMO, but both are great.

[Darkness]

I haven't heard the cd... I want to get it but theres a few other cds I want first.


I've heard good things though.

[XyleM]

I used to think Mer De Noms was better but then I just got into all the atmospheric songs on 13th step, and I think I like that album better now.

Hows the development of these covers going?

[Rothmans]

I still think mer de noms is a lot better than 13th step by far I use to prefer 13t step for a long while but nowadays its mer de noms.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

I used to think Mer De Noms was better but then I just got into all the atmospheric songs on 13th step, and I think I like that album better now.

Yeah, that's fair. It's like the argument for the Radiohead albums: Kid A and OK Computer. OK Computer(Mer De Noms) is such a consistently great rock album (while both have a lot of ambience) but Kid A(13th Step) is more atmospheric and experimental. Although, I do like Radiohead more than A Perfect Circle, A Perfect Circle still was much better than expected - being that it was a side-project of Maynard's.

[Futuro]

fixed my lateralus verses sounds really nice now :thumb:

[Vandle]

First i can understand Maynards choice to consistently try to pull himself out of the 'lime light' , All you people seem to think Maynard is the only thing to both these bands especially APC. As far as i know Maynard didnt even right APC's Mer De Roms Lyrics. I think most if not all were writting by Billy ( i think thats his name) in like the early 90's. Maybe maynard changed a few words here and there to better suit the song but probably not very much.

Second, Im pretty sure this is the "Offical Tool" thread not the Official A Perfect Circle thread.

Third. All the songs on APC's Albums or Tools albums can mean anything you want them to mean, it doesnt have to mean to you what it means to Maynard or whoever else, Thats why Music = Art, Interpret how you want.

Fourth - Hurry up and get these **** cover songs done i want to listen to them :D

[Spiritofmosa]

noe what i think? if they added more distortion to 13th steps it would definately be better then Mer de norms.. i find mer de norms a more religious album compared to 13th steps.. as for emotive, passive is one of my fav apc songs..

[PeEpHoLe_10]

Firstly, if you read the first post of the topic you would see this thread encompasses all things tool, such as APC, pigmy love circus, and of course tool.

I have exams, I may have Aenima recorded by tomorrow. But i think most covers will surface next week.

People are posting their interpretations :confused: why are you complaining, there is no point in having an interpretation if you're not going to discuss it...Also talking with other people about it lets you look at songs in a different perspective.

Recordings faith :)

I know that this is thread is allowed talk on those other bands. I only said what i said because he has made lots of stupid comments. For example, he said that Killswitch Engage and Avenged Sevenfold were Emo.
I suppose i was out of line, but dumb comments just annoy me.
But, im over it. :)

[Phobophile]

Wow okay.Maynard does do all the lyrics,even for Mer De Noms.However,Billy Howerdel does ALL the music exception being maynard doing a little synth work and stuff on Emotive.In the case for Mer De Noms it clearly stats this in the case.And how is Mer De Noms religious?Because of Judith which is actually hardly about religion at all it's about having blind faith in religion.Other then that I don't see any ties to religion at all.

[Kurrpt]

sounds like BS to me :thumb:

[Vandle]

Hmm, Ok. I was watching an Interview with Billy and Maynard and heard them say Billy wrote the songs in the 90's...maybe he meant the music itself...or not.

Also i think Clearvision was talking to me Peephole, If so i was'nt complaining about people posting there opinions rather people that said that people who thought the song was about "Anal Fisting" are stupid is pretty harsh when as far as they know it **** well might be! (although i doubt it). People's opinions on songs are great just dont judge their interpretation because you might think its stupid or whatever is what i was getting at.

For instance, I think "Judith" is about believing in God even though bad things constantly happen to you, people will think "He did this to me for a reason" or "He has a plan" etc which is ignorant but people continue to follow the "right" way of jesus/god. "Took all you had and left you this way, still you prey for the one who left you broken down and paralyzed" ...i think that gets my point across...makes sense to me...I think :p

/thanks for reading hehe.

[Phobophile]

Yeah precisely.It says right in the case for Mer De Noms that Maynard wrote all of the lyrics.But the music is all Billy's.He would write the songs while out on the road as a guitar tech for other bands(like Tool)

[Kurrpt]

well they make references to anal fisting, but obviously the song isnt about it


thats exactly why i hate people saying the song is about this or that. Its like me looking at a Van Gough and saying he must have felt this or that emotion when he painted it

[clearvision]

Ehhh Vandle he was being sarcastic :confused:

'Anal Fisting, Who'd have thought it'

The song is about anal fisting 'Finger deep within the borderline, this may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to. However Maynard/tool use this borderline as a metaphor for ceonsorship today, and how people have to go further eg the shoulder to get kicks.

[PeEpHoLe_10]

:lol: well i was off the mark then. I thought i was getting ripped on.

[Kurrpt]

yea but if you think thats what the song is "about" ur a moron


not saying u do or u dont of course

[Vandle]

**** you people reply fast.. "Edited my post above" heh

[clearvision]

Well if it's not "about" that then what is it "about"?

It's using the anal fisting to symbolise something deeper and more general and relevant to life. The song would lose it's effect if it was referring to titty on telly and stuff.

[Kurrpt]

well, like ive said before, i think people explaining the meaning of the songs is stupid, so im not going to become a hypocrite. But i will say it again

if you think its about anal fisting, you're a moron

[XyleM]

But by saying 'if you think its about anal fisting, you're a moron' indirectly explaining what the song is about? Or what you think it is about?

Anyways, I learned all of schism today lol, my first complete Tool song, probably one of their easy works as well, now I'm going to finish off the Patient I think...

[clearvision]

Well I'm sure with lines like...

'finger deep within the borderline, this may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to'

'Blend and balance, pain and comfort deep within you till you will not have me any other way.'

The song at face value is about anal fisting :confused: I can't see how you can get anything different from it...

...the verse

'Something kinda sad about the way that things have come to be. Desensitized to everything. What became of subtlety?'

Suggests the deeper meaning behind the metaphor, but i fail to see how you can pull anything else off the face value of the lyrics to that song.

[Kurrpt]

like i said, you believe what you want, hence the reason i think discussing it is frivilous and ridiculous at the same time.

Yea and the cover of ænima is a dude going down on himself so you HAVE to be right

[clearvision]

Yea and the cover of ænima is a dude going down on himself so you HAVE to be right

Amen.

I would really like you to elaborate on what this song is about, 'cause unless i have missed something pretty big this song involves using a metaphor of anal fisting to express changes in censorship in the modern world.

[Kurrpt]

dude u ever see the video, it will explain more of the "meaning" than watching some pornos

[clearvision]

I have seen the video, what does that prove?

[Kurrpt]

haha nevermind this is pointless

[clearvision]

Why is it pointless, just post your opinion...

Why is discussing opinions of poetry wrong, we have to take exams in it and stuff, it doesn't devalue the song at all, or devalue anyones opinion.

You seem to think I'm far wrong with my interp so go and post yours to back up your critisicm.

[Kurrpt]

nah its kewl

Im uploading DT - scenes from a memory if anyone wants it. Im posting links in the Rock and metal - Metallica forum. I traded for a single mp3, and am feeling nice today

[Phobophile]

I don't know why you are argueing when you are both right. The song Stinkfist uses Anal Fisting as a metaphor for people going to extreme measures for entertainment.Not only is this opinion but it is fact,this is one of the few songs where Maynard has come out and stated what the song is about.

[clearvision]

^That is my opinion on the song...

...but i think Kurrpt has another interp and i want to hear it :angry:

[Spiritofmosa]

Saying that 13th Step (notice the step not stepS) would be better than Mer De Noms if it had more distortion is just ridiculous.
in other words i prefer the 'heavier' style, like in mer de norms, but i still like the apc songs

[Artemician]

in other words i prefer the 'heavier' style, like in mer de norms, but i still like the apc songs

I like Mer de Noms more myself. Not quite because it's heavier, but because it's just... I don't know, I can't really explain it, I just do.

By the way, on the topic of the cover-band dealy, I know I don't really post that often (Me=Lurker), but if you guys want I'd be happy to attempt some vocal work. My mic might suck though, so I don't know.

[clearvision]

Welcome to the thread

That'd be actually great If you could do some vox...I'm struggling with the chorus with aenima, I guess I'm just not that aggressive, if you could post you singing along to this backing track (I haven't added guitars yet, but it's pretty easy to hear where you are)

http://s23.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1H78C7LA75CMW0Z3OUET77G3BS

I like Mer de Noms and Thirteenth Step equally. Thirteenth step is really relaxing, and certain songs carry cool memories. Mer de noms just has some really powerful lines and i often just listen to individual tracks...

Hello again, thread. Been a few days since I've been here. I've been out late the last few nights, but now I'm finished with school( yay) and I'll be able to record more worthless Tool bits. :p

Anything cool happen while I was out? (Other than the fact that Kurrpt is banned) :p


Also, I just got done mowing my lawn, and every week when I do so, I listen to Lateralus, because it ends right when I finish mowing. Insane, I know. But when I was listening to Lateralus, I almost passed out or something. At the part that everyone says is so good (With my feet upon the ground) I just started blacking out, seeing wierd things, etc...It's hard to explain it over the internet, so never mind. :(


Moses-Was it a perm ban? :lol: Kind of ironic that the month after you won n00b of the month, you got banned.

Sorry for the questions, but I need in depth responses. :cool:

So I've had this idea in the back of my head for quite some time, but here goes;

The Latus Rectum is a point in a parabola. Latus Rectum. Hmm. I'm not sure what significance it holds, but I'm sure it is something. Tool wouldn't have done it for no reason.

I'll try to explain what a Latus Rectum is, for those of you who need to be refreshed in algebra. The Latus rectum is a point inside of a parabola that is always the same distance away from a certain line below the parabola.(I can't remember the name of it atm) Any insight on this?

[BlindWriting]

And Tool perceive this him bad for this religion because....?

Sorry for the questions, but I need in depth responses. :cool:

Scientology is pretty well known for having members donate ridiculously large sums of money in exchange for 'teachings and guidance'. There's also a common consensus that Scientologists just wanted tax exempt status that came with being a recognized religion. Most of it's members are brainwashed through the begining process (which they pay for) and are convinced to join in the first place because their own insecurities are often exploited.

They're pretty much everything that Tool dislike in terms of organized religion.

i wouldnt say i struggle per say, but i dont have the range like when im singing some nice stuff, prolly due to the fact i change the way i push air through/over my vocal chords. Ill have to get a mic and see what yall think. hopefully smoking hasnt ruined my voice.

Not that it gives me credit, but i sang Schism at a bar (my sister kept insisting that i do karaoke with her) and got a standing O

Yea i had to do some running around to get a different active email. I was pretty dumbfounded when i came into work today and was still banned. I wasnt going to take no for an answer :lol:

[Rothmans]

[Feikert05]

anybody else think that the Fiapp de oaid song on lateralus is scaryas ****?

[Huber]

Scary? Naw. A little creepy and dark? Maybe.

[Feikert05]

any thoughts on Fiapp de oaid?

[Huber]

Next time wait a little more than a minute man :lol:

[Feikert05]

i did research on it, and it was a late night transmission from a guy on the art bell show. Apperetally it was a hoax, cuz the guy called in the next day

[PeEpHoLe_10]

I find that song very annoying.

[Feikert05]

very interesting though. The drum line in the beginning is very cool. The CD at night is freaky. I get kicks from scaring myself( lol )

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

All four of those posts could have been in one.


Anyways, Rob, I just realized that your account is a January 04 account. For some reason, I thought that you were an 05er. :p Wierd.

Anyways, I started recording Lateralus on guitar today. :cool:

The first time I heard it, I was a bit creeped out. I do like the fact that it's played over a drum solo.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

To me, I think it's the white noise that gives it such an ominous atmosphere. The drums enhance that feeling, but without the white noise, it would just be funny, rather than creepy.

Lateralus!

You mind if I record some vocals for it? You don't have to use them if they come out terribly bad, but I want to give it a shot.

Go for it.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

If you would like, I suppose so. It's between you and Moses, then, I guess. What kind of equipment will you be using? (Be specific)

[Moseswasbanned]

Next time wait a little more than a minute man :lol:
Hee hee, minute man. :lol:

I use a ****ty mic. Anyway use whoevers is better. Also I really need to find out how to get some nice reverb/echo/everything else.

Record them by anymeans. We'll use whoever sounds better. I'm planning on recording Forty Six and 2 soon.

[Huber]

I tried recording vox yesterday just for fun, man, was that a bad idea. I should probably try actually learning vocal stuff first. Like OMG, LIGHT BULB!

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Don't worry so much about recording quality, Moses. If you think that you're talented enough to pull the songs off, then do them. If your mic is extrememly bad, then go to your nearest music store and take the 60-100 dollar plunge for a near-studio-quality mic. :p

I'll be using Audacity, does anyone know how much reverb/echo/effects I need to put in to make it sound well produced?

As for the mic...... I'm broke so I use the mic my mom had on her mini-disk recorder.

Man, I thought you said you thought I was talented enough and then I reread it and realized that it said if I thought I was. ****. :D
