Tool

[Kage]

It was in one of Blair's earlier posts on Toolband. He mentioned them playing an eighteen or so minute long song and only gives the abbreviation for it (LK) as he isn't allowed to say the actual title.

I'll look up the post if you want.
Oh okay, I knew about the 18 minute song, I had just never heard about LK being the abbreviation.

[Otherside]

Well, Frances The Mute is like that, and THAT album is very mediocre. It's too dependent on ambience that it lacks substance.


Now, now, no need to be hating. I thought it was an excellent album, but it does have to grow on you.

Also, what is your avatar of?

[Futuro]

i just ordered welcome to sky valley if i like it ill definetly check out some other stuff from kyuss.

i never heard about the lk thing....it sounds fake

[Artemician]

The dramatic arrangement itself was about eighteen minutes long, and I would have to say, even after having only heard it once (and, more importantly, without the vocals) it was the most impressive piece I’ve heard them do. I could only imagine what it was going to sound like with Maynard’s vocals, which he was working on from the other side of the glass. I asked what the working title of this organized pandemonium was and Justin told me. Even though the name could and probably would change when Maynard was finished with the lyrics, I’m not at liberty to reveal the working title (in case it sticks), only to say that the initials are L.K. When they finished the song there was dead silence in the room. Adam then glanced at me and said that it (meaning the arrangement) wasn’t quite finished yet. “NO – it IS!” I told him, just messing with him, knowing that he is the consummate perfectionist. “That’s the new single” I joked, after guessing how many minutes long it was (after all, it might have only been fifteen minutes). “Well, my part isn’t finished” he said. Adam then asked me if I’d heard the song that I missed while I was out eating lunch. I told him that I had a couple of times, but that was a few weeks ago. He said that they would play it again because they f**ked it up the first time. Before they began, Justin walked over to the mixing console and began picking through the bowl containing the colorful assortment of newfangled jelly beans, searching for quite a while for a particular color/flavor. Adam also hunted for a certain color – a golden-yellowish one that he wanted me to try, claiming it tasted like buttered popcorn. When the heathen near-vegan declined, he popped it in his mouth and subconsciously began f**king around with a chthonic riff on his silver burst.

Taken from the entry on December 14, 2004.

There you have it.

[Lateralias]

Meh knowing Tool it could change..

[Mr Herb]

news letters like that one are the good ones, I miss em. Its cool of he jsut describes what adys are like at the tool house.

Blair also mnetioned on a more recent post that the album would be a chromatic monster or that asong was a chromatic monster, dont remeber that well.

[Artemician]

Yes, he mentioned 'chromatic tortures' (or something to that effect) in that article as well. I don't remember exactly what he was refering to, however.

[Kage]

That's odd. I have to say, my anticipation of the new album is starting to rise greatly.


God dammit, now I'm really getting mad. My Lateralus disc is no where to be found.

[Artemician]

I feel your pain Kage, on both ends. I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have the divine harmonies of Lateralus to guide me through existance....

[Futuro]

i hope it comes out before the winter.

[Mr Herb]

I made a bet with a friend a while ago that tool will win another grammy for a song off the next album. I have a feeling theyll have some song that will get mayor radio time. they always do.

I wonder if they make em on purpose like that. Like schism.I dunno.

[Artemician]

Tool don't strike me as the sort of band who will intentionally make radio/TV singles. I might be a bit biased by the fact that they're my favorite band, but I still hold that opinion.

[clearvision]

They do though...

Sober, Stinkfist, Schism...

Odds that the song that gets played on the radio starts with an S???

[Futuro]

they do it on pupose....its so they can tell a story through there music videos.

[Mr Herb]

Wow lol all start with S. Yeah theyll prob wanna make a song that will show off their vid. Id like to see them in it one of this days doing something like. . .making fun of something like they did for Hush

[Kage]

The title tracks of both Lateralus and Aenima got radio airplay as well.

[clearvision]

Does sweat off Opiate count too?

That'd be wierd

[clearvision]

The title tracks of both Lateralus and Aenima got radio airplay as well.

I was discussing radio with my dad earlier today.

I decided that english radio don't play anything with a distorted guitar unless it's in the top 40.

I have never heard a tool song on the radio, and doubt i ever will. The closest thing we have to radio that plays sme tool is MTV2, I have seen Sober on there once, and Schism once too.

Many radio stations in england are part of the same network, they play pop songs, mainly from the 90's, not too much new stuff. Most hxC stuff you find is Green Day :(

[Futuro]

The title tracks of both Lateralus and Aenima got radio airplay as well.

Lateralus did???its like 9 minuetes and stuff?? awsome!! the biggest hit they had here was H. and parabola

[Mr Herb]

Also they tend to give more radio play to bands from England. Its like for pride or soemthing. They support this brit pop thing, like muse and colplay and they also seem to like indie.

[Kage]

I've only heard Latearlus a precious once, and Aenema once as well, both in other cities from where I live. Here, they play Schism every once in awhile and Sober semi-frequently. I don't really listen to radio very much, even though I do owe my Tool fan status to hearing Schism on the radio that one fateful day...

[Mr Herb]

Schism well forever be special. I discovered it the day I got dumped. It helped a lot. :chug:

[Futuro]

tool is played all the time where i live. i have heard aenima 2 times in one day :p

[clearvision]

I've never liked schism, it never really stuck with me...

Aenima was my intro track, but sober egged me on to get an album.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Schism video started me off. Then I waited up till 12 for the premier of the parabola video, before buying my first Tool album the next day

[Futuro]

Schism well forever be special. I discovered it the day I got dumped. It helped a lot. :chug:

did the drum transcription work out for you ???

I still remember the first time I saw the Schism video 4 years ago... It wasn't the first time I'd heard tool.. But it was what made me get all their music

[Artemician]

Schism was my Tool first as well, though I didn't know that it was called Schism (or was even by Tool) at the time.

Stinkfist was what really got me to go and pick up an album though.

[Matter]

I've been a fan since undertow...I was really into metallica, pantera, slayer and megadeth and so forth at the time.(my older bros were listening to that stuff so I was to...8/...)
I wasn't even playing drums yet I was like 13-14 years old and had heard sober and was like WTF....So I ganked the CD from my brother and after playing it through once I instantly knew there was something really amazing and different about this band, and I've listened to them pretty much everyday since. Thier music has actually pulled me out some tough times(through thier very difficult to decipher positive message of course.)

[Merkaba]

I got stinkfist recorded. Its not too bad for a bedroom job...I'll have it uploaded sometime tonight...saturday June 18th....probably while I eat greasy food and watch snl. i have to make up a soundlick account.

I found out by doing stuff like this that I love mixing. I did about five seperate tracks in the middle interlude...probably more than maynard does...on the verge of getting crowded but I hope its not so that you might have to "dig" through it a few times to hear everything. Like when you first heard stinkfist you were like thats awesome..then one day you hear another whisper..then another...etc. But i had a ball trying to use the crappy audacity effects to get something decent. I'll be back shortly!

[Rothmans]

That sounds sooo class I cant wait to hear that.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

What parts you got recorded? Im assuming vocals since you refer to MJK

[Merkaba]

Yea....vocals...I downloaded the instrumental from the Markmatter site... Is that you Matter? I thought it was under a different screen name where i got that link .

[clearvision]

Yeah it's him, yo probably got it off r0under's s/n...they work together :)

[Merkaba]

right...rounder...that was it. cool beans. Its crazy how close these guys got this music to the original. Here i was getting ready to play my crappy $100 musicians friend special through a digitech rp200 just trying to get a basic done...then I found that post. Sheewww....i was really about to embarass myself...hehe..I'm NOT the seasoned guitar player. :lol:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Ok, I am going to create a Soundclick just for the Tool project. I created one earlier under my account, but I'm just going to create an entire account for this. That way, I can give the password to more people. :D

[Kage]

Good. We need someone who'll get organized.

[Knifeboy]

What's r0under/matters soundclick?

Just listened to their Patent cover again, so tight. A list of equipment you guys used plz, im too lazy to search round a site.

[Merkaba]

OH by the way while I remember...Sorry to break up the flow...but I'm looking for all acoustic apc stuff....I remember seeing three libras I think and hollow and something else on a sight but couldnt download it...anyone can help or have any links let me know.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

They do though...

Sober, Stinkfist, Schism...

Odds that the song that gets played on the radio starts with an S???

1:26

You never know with Tool. :cool:

I've only ever heard Schism and Stinkfist. Well, actually, I've also heard Triad, too. I was driving around with a group of friends, and I think it was a Nickelback song that ended, and the DJ comes on, starts Triad, and starts talking about bands and their tours and stuff. It was awesome.

EDIT: Where's their cover of The Patient?? :eek:

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I've heard Tool played in some weird places. MTV shows seem to use Parabola a fair bit.

For the brits - there was a show on BBC2 not long ago that had a different challenge to be complete each week that required a machine to be created (like a clever version of Scrapheap challenge). For some reason, they played Ticks And Leeches in the background for one episode, which caught me off guard in a WTF? :confused: stance

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I have the soundclick up and running. Anyone want to upload stuff?

[Mr Herb]

Drum thingy was great Faith, thx.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

****


I recorded Stinkfist for the fourth time about an hour and a half ago. I pulled it off PERFECTLY!!! Tone was good, playing was nearly flawless...

I exported it as an mp3, saved it, and closed Audacity.

I then went to upload it to the new soundclick right now.

I looked for the file and found Stinkfist-446 kbs.

That's not the typical size of a 5 minute song, now is it?I got suspicious, so I opened it in WMP. It was a 44 second clip of my recording.

I would like to say this again..

****


I swear, when it comes to recording, I'm the most unlucky bastard out there.


EDIT: [size=1]I just recorded it again, and pulled it off pretty good. There are a couple of errors, HOWEVER, it's all sync'd up good. (That was the biggest surprise for me.) I'll post it once I get it uploaded to the new soundclick. :thumb:

I liked it more than the cd version. sounds more raw, itd be nice to put some vocals on it.

hey thanks guys for passing our site around. you can either go to http://www.soundclick.com/markmattermusic.htm and check out the tunes there, or go to http://www.matter4u.com and you can check out our songs plus we have pics of our gear there. yea, its me and Matter right now, looking for a bassist/singer in the Panama city beach area.............................................. ............................. :wave:



btw when do we get to hear lateralus already???????? i heard the drum track already and it sounds good. if you dont have anyone to mix it let me know.

Thanks destructo....thats kinda dumb though but ok.. :rolleyes:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

R0und3r- If you want the links to work properly, you have to put http:// in front of the www. Don't ask why, but that's just how it works. Also, when are you guys going to do the drum and bass parts for Eulogy? I have 307 to guitarize that track. :D

25% on the upload of Stinkfist! Whoo...

hmm.....dont know if I could talk matter into doing another Tool track so soon. Its been about 3 years between 46and2 and the last one. He has a much harder job than I do when it comes to playing Tool songs (not to nock Adam in anyway). we'll see..

[fadetoblack89]

Yeah, I'd say that it would more of a compliment to Danny. :p

But, you said you will be doing guitar and bass? 307 asked me if he could play guitar on Eulogy, so do you think you could just do bass? That is, if you end up doing the song..

The patient thingy was teh ****, should be posted frequently so everyone feels the joy :)]

[Merkaba]

I'm ready to upload stinkfist...how we gonna go about this?

I got a little carried away in the "how could this mean anything to me" part. I put a little bit of crazy background harmony ala APC...but I tried to keep it kinda in the background but I can always drop those tracks later. I've always liked that part and today I just kept hearing "voices" in all of that chorus and flanger or whatever it is...so I decided to record it to see what it would sound like and i kept it. Anyways....

[Knifeboy]

[killwhoresdead]

tool was the first band that i got into and even though my taste has changed since then, i still ****ing love tool

[Knifeboy]

I recorded more of the guitar parts (for lateralus) with a new tone.. If you guys like the sound of it I'll record the rest of the guitar on wednesday

pm - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -|


You play the 7-5-3 bit when you're meant to play the 0-0-0

New tone is cool, i may have a go at this in a sec...

[Knifeboy]

Ah, I didn't use a tab for this.. You're right

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Does anyone know anything about the next tool album? I have only heard a couple of rumors.

Nah, there isn't really that much information yet that we know of. All that I think is known is that they are recording it now (and probably almost done) so it should be out by the end of the year, there's a 17 minute long song on the album I think, they said something about being influenced by bands like Meshuggah and Fantomas so the drumming will probably be a bit more intense and maybe the songs will be heavier too. Hmm, I can't really think of what else. Tool really likes to keep things behind closed doors.

[clearvision]

I just jammed out lateralus, how is my tone? I thinki could lose a ittle reverb/whatever it is on the clean sound, and i gotta try and get the high open D (3rd string) to ring out after the pull off.

Here y'are

http://s48.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1PHKJ9VJ76V402OHQ65B7OBPOD

[Kurrpt]

ive only learned the first 2 minutes of the song :upset:
i havent learned a new song in forever :lol:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

did you get banned again, Kurrpt? :lol:

Last night before I went to bed, I played the best 17 minute set EVER! I opened up my media player, and jammed along to Ticks and Leeches, and then, Lateralus came on, and so I played along. It was glorious. That would be the most kickass cover ever. :cool:

Rob, how long've you been playing?

And Merkaba, did you sing along with the original, or did you use a backing track of any sort?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Thats pretty cool

this riff here



You play the 7-5-3 bit when you're meant to play the 0-0-0

New tone is cool, i may have a go at this in a sec...

I find it easier to play it like open A, then 5-3-0. There's no shifting that way. :) It sounds the same, but I find it easier.

[clearvision]

I have been playing 2 and a half years...

But for the first year it wasn't something i did often.

What was the tone like? The distorted tone may be a little too trbly with too much gain. And the clean has too much reverb...thoughts?

[Lateralias]

Wow I love that "the Patient" cover... it's dead on accurate!

[Cannonball Jake]

... they said something about being influenced by bands like Meshuggah and Fantomas so the drumming will probably be a bit more intense and maybe the songs will be heavier too. ...

Man I hope that's true. That would be awesome but would move Tool even further away from the Aenima style anthems so they might see sales drop. They probably wouldn't care though.

[Merkaba]

I'm uploading stinkfist now...Im gonna check out that patient instrumental. Is it downloadable?...and what other stuff is done? I was at the MarkMatter site and I couldnt download the 46 and 2...only stream it. So....

[clearvision]

I have aenima recorded, it's a little sloppy, but i will correct it. If you would like to do vocals download this file. And record your tracks along with it... :)

[SmashingPumpkin]

Ah Tool is one of my favorite bands ever. Anyone else signed up for the toolshed? I'm CrownOfNegativity over there.

[Merkaba]

Nope...cant download the patient...anyone know of any way around this so i can get it on my comp in mp3 format? I can only stream it

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

You can download 46&2 from their soundclick, but you can only stream The Patient.

Smashing Pumpkin-I just signed up yesterday. Same user name as here, same avatar too. I'm a level 2 poster already. :cool:

Merkaba- Did you sing Stinkfist along with the original to pace your self, or what?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I hate to double post, but since this thread seems dead, let's get off the topic of the covers and talk about other Tool stuff. What's your guys' favorite Jones feedback? I'd have to say the intro to Sober is amazing. The way he controls it is amazing.

[Magicaltroll]

Triad.
It's amazing, the sounds he gets and all the notes and stuff. Sweet.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I agree with Triad, although I dont really have a favourite moment, each has its own charm. Is also great he doesnt need to rely on the garage band style of getting near the amp for his feedback, he controls it all with his feet.

And back on the cover thingy, I sorted out the soundclick file that Jake set up. I put up the two most complete songs for you to hear and work on. But keep sending the individual tracks through this thread first.

http://www.soundclick.com/bands/0/thelachrymologists_music.htm

Who did the lateralus, no vox?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I dont actually remember. I just recall downloading it from here after getting Faith's drum track.

Im sure somebody will come forward and accept that they're awesome

[Magicaltroll]

Hey AJIG, your computer ok yet?
Or can you not upload that song today?

It's cool either way.

[clearvision]

Ehh it wasn't that dude that just randomly posted for the 1st time was it?

No-one commented on my tone, was it really that bad?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Hey AJIG, your computer ok yet?
Or can you not upload that song today?

It's cool either way.

Sorry, no can do. I've had multiple crashes today, so if anything its worse. I blame the heat. I will do it as soon as I can though, or you could ask someone else who d/l'd it first time around

Plus its 11 here, and I need my beauty sleep before my job malarky tommorrow.

And Rob, your clean tone was awesome, original yet effective. Your distortion tone is better than your other examples, but its cut in volume doesnt tie in well with your clean, which affects it a lot.

[Merkaba]

You can download 46&2 from their soundclick, but you can only stream The Patient.

Smashing Pumpkin-I just signed up yesterday. Same user name as here, same avatar too. I'm a level 2 poster already. :cool:

Merkaba- Did you sing Stinkfist along with the original to pace your self, or what?
Ok..I'll get that 46 and two.

I just downloaded the stinkfist off of the site...and played it through my speakers and sang along with it...not the best option. My headphones wouldnt reach from the comp under the table up to my mic. Thats how i like to record vocals. But oh well.

[Neurotoxin]

Today was the first time that I realized the brains of the person on the second last page of the Lateralus booklet spell "GOD".

Has anyone else ever noticed this?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Ok, I was just worried about you singing to a track that isn't the one that we're gonna use. My reason being if you didn't sing to that backing track, chances are it would have been wayy out of time. Now are you going to upload it?

Ben-How does he control it with his feet? Could you elaborate on this some? The way I control feedback is just by hitting a harmonic, and fading my volume. :p It's not really feedback, but I suppose you can achieve some what of the same effect that way. :-/

[Magicaltroll]

Today was the first time that I realized the brains of the person on the second last page of the Lateralus booklet spell "GOD".

Yup.
Knew that like when I got it.
Only because I read it somewhere though :D

[Syncratic]

Has anyone else ever noticed this?

Yep. I found it the first day I had it (Christmas '04) while I was listening to 'The Grudge'

[Neurotoxin]

I think the main reason of mine for never seeing it was that I lost my case/book the day I bought the CD (I was cleaning out my room and somehow it got mixed in with my garbage).

Oddly enough I've never actually read about it, and I've read hundreds of Tool related articles.

[Syncratic]

I just heard another rumor about the new album/DVD/whatever. Someone who lives in England said she saw a poster advertising the new Tool album, to be released August 23rd, in the window of a record store. She asked the record store owner if this was true, and he said that 'something' regarding Tool will arrive August 23rd. What do y'all think?

The rumors are true, tool will have a new dvd contain all lateralus material from there last tour and its expected to be released some time in the begging of august. YYYAAAA!!! :D

[Doomed To Crumble]

O and if your interested where i get my sources i heard it right off of the radio

[Magicaltroll]

...omg

[Kage]

Sounds good to me.

[Magicaltroll]

I don't think this is real...
Why wouldn't Tool put this on their site?

[Kage]

Since when does Tool put anything informative or of any worth on their website?

[Magicaltroll]

I don't know...
But still. It just seems kinda weird...
I don't want to get all excited over nothing.

[Rounder]

I can't find anything on this anywhere (yet). That's not to say that it isn't true (I sure hope it is), but yeah...if it is, they're keeping it quiet. If it is true though the next update will probably be Blair talking about how the band are really into new sorts of carpet in the room leading into the studio these days, in keeping with his habit of never actually telling us anything particularly relevant/clear.


http://www.teleincision.com/ theyve updated this site from what it was, now its just a Tool logo. so Something is coming out august 16th....

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Did you get my response on Toolshed, rounder? I asked you for an mp3 of The Patient, thanks. :D

btw, the teleincision site is registered to someone living in Arizona, and the company that it was made by did not have anything to do with Dissectional, Toolband, or Toolshed. Chances are the sites a fake. However, the artwork you see on that very page is Tool's new logo. :thumb:

I've been having out on Toolshed too much lately. :p

In other news: Due to the fact that mx was down most of the day, I learned 46&2. I'd say the chorus to that song is one of the funnest riffs to play. For the tone, I use my regular Jones distortion, minus delay, plus a little chorus. For the intro I play with out a pick to make it sound softer and smoother, and for the rest, I use my pick for that agressive sound. Go me!

Fatal errors were caused by the fact that the email doesn't exist. :p

Oh, and Marshall, that Oprah guy bitched at me again on Toolshed, so I made a thread in The Grudge section about him. It was awesome. That guy=fag to the fullest.

IC36- Because they* know we'll take the bait and beleive it.

*most Tool fans

[Darkness]

Whoa whoa whoa whoa... whats happening?? fill me in dammit.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Teleincision has been rumored to be Tool's new DVD or whatever. Go to the site. Not much else to report.

[Darkness]

Oh ok I knew that... thanks.

Theres a forum on there?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Yeah.

click on the opinion part.

me=Dr. Jake Destructo on both forums.

[Lateralias]

Jake did you steal 48&2's avatar off toolshed?? Lol...

Btw I still think Teleincision as a rumor is false... I might be the only one but it sure sounds like a forced name.

[magicaltrollII]

Yeah.

click on the opinion part.

me=Dr. Jake Destructo on both forums.
I went to community :p
Thanks.

[Futuro]

what happened to the ninja turtles man????that was an awsome avatar!

[Lateralias]

Yeah Toolnavy can be a bit irritating.. it used to be much more active when Lateralus came out and now it's died off... but it seems to be picking up with the coming new album n' stuff.. Paraflux is a cool member there

[Moses]

Hmmmmm..... I wonder if my avatar is screwed up like everyone else's.

EDIT: Yeah, it is.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Lateralias-Yes. :D Isn't it awesome though? It combines the champion and the runner up albums from the mx top 100 competition. But yes, I did jack it from him. :upset:

Should I change it back? I still like Michelangelo. :-/

Magic Troll-How did you get banninated?

Moses- Yes. Did you get any singing done?

[magicaltrollII]

:lol:
I posted a thread with a poem in it that was entitled "Addicted To Vaginal Skin".
It didn't go over too well with Superpeer.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Hmph...Was it a permaban.

Dumbass. :lol:

Does anyone know who did the Lateralus featured on The Lachrymologist soundclick? It's bugging me that we have a perfectly good drumming track, but the Lateralus that's closest to being finished has MIDI drums on it. :angry:

if you don't know what I'm talking about, look here (http://www.soundclick.com/bands/0/thelachrymologists_music.htm) The guitar and the bass peices are good, and I wanna find out who they're done by. I think it may be by a guy by the name of JMann? :confused:

[Moses]

Magic Troll-How did you get banninated?

Moses- Yes. Did you get any singing done?
No, I didn't. I've been busy, and my girlfriend's leaving for the whole summer.

Also I'm about to record one of my band's songs right now. I won't have it done tonight and I don't think I'll put vox on the recording until we've practiced it a couple times. I usually write and record the songs and then we practice them, thing is I don't know exactly what I want the vocals to be like yet and the best way to figure it out is with the band.

Yeah, I did the guitar parts on that recording. I wasn't expecting you guys to use it for the competition, I was just sharing it with you. In fact, I hope you don't use it because a lot of my guitar parts are very sloppy on it and faith+1's drum track sounds great.

[Mr Herb]

I wish that teleincion thingy was for real

[Mr Herb]

wtf happend to my avatar?!!?!?!?

[BlindWriting]

http://www.teleincision.com/ theyve updated this site from what it was, now its just a Tool logo. so Something is coming out august 16th....
Bumped for the hell of it.
I'm getting... antsy.

[BlindWriting]

wtf happend to my avatar?!!?!?!?
Re-upload it. The same thing happened the last time the site went down.

[Mr Herb]

Wat if its real? hmmm

Did anyone see spins top albums list of the last 20 years? pure **** I say!

[Doomed To Crumble]

Can any drummers please tell me how danny is doing the ending of the 46&2 solo?

[Mr Herb]

I agree. Whats everyones age in here?

[G_Mac07]

Btw I still think Teleincision as a rumor is false... I might be the only one but it sure sounds like a forced name.

Your not alone there. :)

[Doomed To Crumble]

i dont even care about the name i just want the new dvd to come out which i feel will be just like salival because they realsed that right before lateralus so i think there are going to do the same thing for the new album. The new dvd will hold us all off long enough for the new album to come out and when it does we can all stop crying about not having any new tool to listen to. :thumb:

[Mr Herb]

I think this one will have more lvie footage than salival and that the tracks will be perhaps more fmaous tracks than the ones played on salival

[Dude3]

Hey guys, I was thinking of posting Prison Sex on here, possibly for the competition(its guitar). In the recording, should I just leave out the little intro thing(the whammy bar depressed)? Cause I have no good way of doing it. Either I leave it out, or try ripping it from the cd. Or, possibly screw around with the tuning peg.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Don't do a direct sample. I'd just leave it out totally.

[Moses]

Can any drummers please tell me how danny is doing the ending of the 46&2 solo?
He's doing rolls with the double bass drums combined with the toms and snare. He's doing RH LH RF LF.

[Doomed To Crumble]

He's doing rolls with the double bass drums combined with the toms and snare. He's doing RH LH RF LF.

Thanks alot

[Doomed To Crumble]

letmypeopleho, what do u mean by RH LH RF LF

[Dude3]

Ok, I'll leave that part out. Does anybody want to do bnass or vocls for Prison Sex? Faith+1 said he should be able to do drums. I'll post a recording soon.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Moses, here's a cooler picture of Moses. (http://liberalslikechrist.org/moses.jpg) You'll have to resize it, but it's a much more clarified picture, plus it's green. :D

Doomed To Crumble- :lol:

I'm listening to Part of Me right now. I'd say it's one of my faves from Opiate. The solo is short, but it's pretty effective when done correctly. Anyone have any insight on who 'You' is in the song?

[Moses]

letmypeopleho, what do u mean by RH LH RF LF
Like, Right hand on the tom, Left hand on the tom, Right foot on the bass drum, and Left foot on the bass drum.

Hmm.. that is a cooler picture, but the Moses in mine looks wiser. I like to give off that vibe................ :cool:

Plus, I don't feel like resizing.

Ssshhh, recording......

[Doomed To Crumble]

I was looking for new cymbols for my set on the paiste website and man if want to get hooked up with danny carey gear it is all there

[Mr Herb]

o well. . . . . Lets do a fantasy football league dudes!!!!on yahoo! all you need is a free ID! or perhaps we should do it like on the whole forum?!?! ideas people! responed to this dammiiiit

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Ok, I'll leave that part out. Does anybody want to do bnass or vocls for Prison Sex? Faith+1 said he should be able to do drums. I'll post a recording soon.

It would be like the 4th or 5th song on his to-do list, just for the cover deal

1. Stinkfist
2. Ænema
3. Sober
4. Maybe here

Marshall? Any input?

Herb- Go to The Pit.


This just cracks me up. Thought I'd share it with you guys since I was uploading it anyways.. (http://s4.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0BLUYV6CNDZKV3AG4KS49TBVOU) (One minute song that 307 sent me a while ago)

[Dude3]

Well, I'll post some guitar tracks on here in a second. It will be just a demo though. Not a final version, incase its not perfect. We'll just see how it goes I guess.

[Doomed To Crumble]

Has anybody heard the track "Opium for breakfast"?

[Futuro]

He's doing rolls with the double bass drums combined with the toms and snare. He's doing RH LH RF LF.

U R Rong :p person who asked what he is doing ....Can you read actual drum music....if so i will transrcribe it for ya.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Crumble- Is it by Tool?

[Doomed To Crumble]

i think, not 100% sure tho

[Doomed To Crumble]

have you guys heard the original zepplin vesion of no quarter, its pretty good but i think tools version is better

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Are you sure you're not talking about Opiate? I've heard that one many a times.

I heard Zep's version long before I heard Tool's cover, and I would have to agree with you. They are both outstanding songs, but Tool's version far surpasses the original. They did make it 4 whole minutes longer than Zep's, and with Tool, the longer the better is typically the case.

[Doomed To Crumble]

i take it back opium for breakfast is not tool, at all

[Dude3]

ehh, I record Prison Sex tomorrow. I'm too lazy right now, and I don't have it down perfectly.

[Moses]

Hmmm... I always pictured you skinny.......

Oh, and Jake, you should go back to Michelangelo.

[Mr Herb]

yes. . .but since am not that good i dont play it like. . .100percent well. .thats why he doubts me and well he cant read that music.

[Lateralias]

have you actually played the transcription i gave you??? if you learn that it should be enough to prove to him that its the real thing.

You do know that mxtabs has a drum tab of Lateralus that is pretty dead on right??

[Mr Herb]

i have only 3 toms dude.^^^

[Moses]

Ok, here's what I recorded today. Just so you know, it's not any Tool cover or anything, it's actually for my band that I sing in. All I have are keyboard drums and guitar. This is only like the first quarter of the song and it goes through alot of moods all together, but I didn't get that far. Any way here it is.

http://s43.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=129F2OEUPDGH81NABQCAOZLXXK

[Futuro]

Lateralias,i wouldnt know.......because i mainly read drum music....the real ****....its much easier to do once you are comfortable. but i will look over some of the TABS and reccomend one. hows about that HERBTONES?

edit: it will be only 3 toms dont worry

[Mr Herb]

3 toms then go ahead!

[Lateralias]

i have only 3 toms dude.^^^

Just experiment.. it's not that hard to work around with 3 instead of 4 :p

Besides you'll never replicate a authentic Danny Carey tom sound, the man has his drums tuned precisely.

Yeah that's true.. I guess it give's them the right to toss them whenever they'd like, scary thought.

[Moses]

The guitar is nifty... short song but cool.
That's not the whole song, just what I got done in like 15 min. Actually it'll probably last 8:00 all together.

[Kage]

Come on people.......
I liked it, but I wish you wouldn't have repeated the harmonic part for what I assume is a verse, but other than that it was a good build up to the heavy guitars. Perhaps base the verse on the harmonic part, but add some variation and then go back into the chorus/heavy riff.

[Moses]

Well I was also thinking that, but the vocals will give it enough once they're in. If it becomes a problem I definately will change it.

[Kage]

I'm assuming there are no vocals until the harmonic part is repeated?

[Moses]

I'm assuming there are no vocals until the harmonic part is repeated?
Actually the intro goes right into the first verse.

[Kage]

Oh I see. I was thinking that the whole thing was a build up until about 1:35...but I'll just have to wait until you get the vocals on there and get the whole thing recorded to really critique it.

[Moses]

Oh I see. I was thinking that the whole thing was a build up until about 1:35...but I'll just have to wait until you get the vocals on there and get the whole thing recorded to really critique it.
Yeah, the vocals start at 1:03ish. Also I have no bass in there so the harmonic part can be a little tedious at this point. Anyway it's a long song.

[Moses]

Hey, Kage wanna critique my prog metal comp thing?



http://s41.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0VPJXQGIHY0SG178RIPFPNHNFE

[ArC]

I figured this was as good a place as any to ask.

I'm going to start a record collection now that I have some loose cash to throw around. I figured a good place to start was Tool. I've found Opiate, Undertow, and Aenima vinyls so far. Does anyone know where I can find Lateralus on vinyl? I've checked the local stores around here, as well as Ebay with no luck. Also, is there an vinyl version of Salival?

Thanks.

Still not finished listenign to it, though.

It was good, but with a few rough transitions between the parts. I didn't much like your distortion tone, but it would be cool to have some vocals on there. The keyboards were very cool, and I liked the actual guitar parts.

i enjoy cold play too :thumb: good singer

Thanks, yeah I knew some of the transitions were bad, I just didn't feel like doing anything about it. I felt like a should have busted out my chops a little more on the keyboards.

By the way, this is really random but have you heard the new SOAD cd yet?

[Mr Herb]

Nice then. Im in a christian band, called alst breath, i didnt make it up. the gutiarist did so I jsut go along with it. anyways.. ..yep. . . coldplay it is

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Spiders was a great song and I think that Serj had great potential as a singer. But their songs are just so...immature and stupid. With that said, it's great head-banging music.

Clocks was good, I guess.

[Merkaba]

Ok..here is my vocals on Stinkfist. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/7/moredemos_music.htm

Its ok but I think I couldve done a little better...now in hindsight. But again...I live in apartments and I feel funny about loud vocals maybe disturbing my neighbors or whatever and I just dont like singing in my apartment. Anyways...and then the song Burn is from a group called Group Surgery. They had some instrumentals and let me demo over this one. It clipped in the download and got cut off. But that part at the end is one of those deals that really moves me...it sounds exactly the way it felt, and what I was writing about. just perfect for me and I love it. Then there is a sample on there for the Jams Session singing threads...just a gliss and a whistle register note... Nothing most of you are interested in I'm sure. Anyways...enjoy.
Thanks to Rounder and Matter for the music. I'll be downloading all the others and playing with them as well I'm sure.

[Futuro]

you sound like the dude from a band that i cant think of.....(crappy explanation)....the band they had a song called "i hate everything about you" forgot name.

anyway who the hell did drums on that track? they sounded alot better than mine.

Can someone tell, me is Opiate a good album?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Eh, I haven't heard their new album, but I enjoy their music even if it isn't all that original.

Enjoy the mogwai song?

Im hoping the http://www.teleincision.com/ isnt just some kid stealing the domain name for hope of money, and that it really is a Tool deal (its the new logo style, I know, but easily imitatable).

It looks like August may still contain a nice suprise after all

Can someone tell, me is Opiate a good album?

For a Tool fan, it is. For an outsider, not the best start, but still a solid effort.

[clown_phobia]

you sound like the dude from a band that i cant think of.....(crappy explanation)....the band they had a song called "i hate everything about you" forgot name.


anyway who the hell did drums on that track? they sounded alot better than mine.

the band is three days grace

Thanks, I was thinking of checking it out, I saw it super-cheap.

I've never heard any tool songs before. Lots of people like them though. From what I've heard is they have long complex songs that build up to huge crescendos. Am I right in thinking this?

Do you think they'd appeal to a rock/pop/punk fan like me? Or is the best thing just to check them out?

Not sure if they're still active...

But there are a nice selection of tracks that got uploaded by someone which is a nice Tool intro. Check them out first.

Opiate will be the most financially sound album to get (how cheap btw?), but since you've heard nothing, start with the Ænima/Lateralus choice. Opiate is a lot different from regular tool

It was 9.95 australian, which is extremely cheap compared to the normal price of 29.95.

Sort of. One thing you should know is that their guitarist does not do "solos" in the sense of Metallica or a band like that. His solos are more about furthering the song than about showing off. Yes, their songs are complex. Many of their songs have a whole bunch of different sections to them. I'm not exactly sure I would say that they build up to huge crescendos. I think all of their songs get harder as they go on, but if you expect them to all have some type of epic ending to them in the sense of Dream Theater's "Octavarium", than you are mistaken (even though their songs do have great endings to them). Then again, you might not be asking this at all and I'm just reading your question wrong. I don't know. The best advice I can give is to just hear some songs for yourself.

hey AJIG who did the drum track that merkaba sang to????

[Reywas]

I've been hospitilazied for 2 weeks.Can someone update what happened in the last two weeks concerning tool and the cover contest.

[Syncratic]

AJIG, did you make that Avatar? I had a cool one made for me for another site, has a pic of Adam you don't, and it's cool.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

NO idea. Tool is widely considered to be progressive hard rock, although they do have some legit metal songs. As a pop/punk fan such as yourself, I think that the best song to check out of Tool's would be 46&2 because it's catchy (for Tool) and is easy to get in to. The bass intro is also...amazing...

[Mr Herb]

Also check out sober and schism for songs to get in too also stinkfist

Ok..here is my vocals on Stinkfist. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/7/moredemos_music.htm

Its ok but I think I couldve done a little better...now in hindsight. But again...I live in apartments and I feel funny about loud vocals maybe disturbing my neighbors or whatever and I just dont like singing in my apartment. Anyways...and then the song Burn is from a group called Group Surgery. They had some instrumentals and let me demo over this one. It clipped in the download and got cut off. But that part at the end is one of those deals that really moves me...it sounds exactly the way it felt, and what I was writing about. just perfect for me and I love it. Then there is a sample on there for the Jams Session singing threads...just a gliss and a whistle register note... Nothing most of you are interested in I'm sure. Anyways...enjoy.
Thanks to Rounder and Matter for the music. I'll be downloading all the others and playing with them as well I'm sure.


You have a good tone in your voice, just not completely on pitch all the time.

Can you upload the backing tracks for that? I'd like to record Stinkfist.

[motleyman]

i just saw danny play, he's awsome

[Matter]

^I did...it was actually recorded about 4 years ago...I know I played it wrong on a lot of the parts + the floor tom mic cut out during the whole song 8/. I should re-do it now I can play it fairly accurate(the fill leading into teh last chorus is bad-azz).

The vocals came out good...like you said it was pitchy sometimes and its hard to scream bloody murder in an apartment, but keep singing and practicing you have the makings of a killer voice IMO.

I like your avatar, much more suiting to your screen name then before.

[Mr Herb]

And I take it, you play bass because of your previous statement.
ye bass and I might do drums on a couple of tracks, perhaps yellow and clocks

Hey man that was pretty good. Like the others said, you were pitchy at times, but you have a very distinct voice, and when you were on, it sounded killer. That was also a good recording mixing job. way to go. Truth be told I was a little concerned about hearing other people we didnt know singing on our tracks, but you did a pretty good job there. :thumb:

[Mr Herb]

True, that stinkfist thigny is perdy good, I thought u missed on tiems but it was good. But i sorta felt while hearing like if it was someone singing while some radio s palying a song. . .it didnt all seem one peice in my opinion

[Moses]

Where is the backing track to Stinkfist? I wanna record my vocals tomorrow.

HAAAAA

SCREW YOU ALL PAGE FOUR HUNDRED!!!!

!!!!!!!RIBBONS, Confetti,AND FIREWORKS!!!!!!!

Was that over the top enough?
