Tool

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Is To Bid You Farewell an album, or a song?

/is a dialup user, but not for long, I hope :D

I've been wanting to buy an Opeth album for a while, but I finally found Blackwater Park, and I've heard it's their best, so I got that.

It's a song from Morningrise.

Yeah BWP is a good album for getting into the band, so is Damnation if you want softer Opeth.

[Rothmans]

A posting on Toolarmy has denied the release date advertised in certain Hastings stores in the US. One of the Tool inner circle (Kat to be exact) has denied that the 23rd of August is the release date, and that Toolarmy members will indeed be the first to hear the announcement. Good for us members I guess.

For those Toolarmy members out there, feel free to PM/positively Karma me, my username is hellboy.

Too bad we'll have to wait longer than August for a new release though....

Found this interesting.

[Lateralias]

Found this interesting.

Where did you read that? Are you in Toolarmy or is that just from some post on Toolnavy?

[Rothmans]

Toolnavy but there was another thread about some guy rang up HMV and they said it will be released in september but likely to change.

God I hate toolnavy its full of dicks and spammers its like the pit except its all about tool and 90% fanboys.

Ah ok.

And yes.. Toolnavy is infested with a bunch of them, but there are a few regulars that are intelligent and funny.

[Rothmans]

You can tell that the interviewee knows the release date that cunt.

[Darkness]

That interview is taking forever to download...

[Huber]

That interview is taking forever to download...

Yeah, same here.

Edit: Haha, bull fighter.

Is it just me or was Die Eir Von Satan an odd choice?

[Lateralias]

Can someone tell me what covers are left to do on guitar? I might be able to help out, I got a mic earlier today and I experimented a bit with it and Audacity..

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Can someone sum up the high points of the interview plzkthx?

I empathize with you Marshall. :upset:

EDIT: Lateralias, you can do Ticks & Leeches if you want. I'll still do it if you dont wanna do that, but I'd be willing to pass it on since I'm already doing something. :)

[Huber]

Summary of good parts of the interview:

When Maynard talks...



Whew, that was work.

Edit:
I think a few lines from Maynard on this interview show that Ticks and Leeches is most likely about the "sharks" in the music business.

[Mr Herb]

You can tell that the interviewee knows the release date that cunt.
Why? how?



Ive only listened to 5 minutes of it

[ThePatient]

Ok, sorry I've been gone for like a day. I don't see why I can't have Ticks & Leeches done in two weeks, so that's a go. So if you want to send me your guitar recording that'd be good so I can work with that too.

And I only skimmed a few posts from a couple pages back, so I don't know if this has been resolved, but since Joz won't be doing the bass for these, I'd really like to do the part for Lateralus after Ticks if its not already taken/done.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Could someone do me a huge favor and dock the quality down in audacity to like 32 kbps and reupload it? I wanna hear it, but it would take me forever to DL all 26 megs of it. :upset: If it's not that great, don't bother.

Herb- I'm sure he was kidding...:rolleyes:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Erh, hi guys.

I know I've promised recordings and re-recordings for a while now. I promise I haven't forgotten, but I've been really busy...but I still really want to do them.

I will endeavor to have some or all of them to you in the next couple of days.

Bump'd for ThePatient. Time will tell, though. After Ticks and Leeches, I'm sure we'll have a closer-to-final lineup. Be patient (lol!)

[ThePatient]

Ah, that's ok, no big deal.

I think I'm going to have to borrow a computer mic from my guitarist or something because my line in is being over powered by my bottom two strings. Or if anyone knows how to solve that, that'd be cool too.

--Oh, and great pun. :p

[Mr Herb]

--Oh, and great pun. :p I love you dude, you jsut gave me an idea! Ill just borrow a mic from someone for the comp and record tons of crap thx :wave:

[ThePatient]

Haha, no problem. We have this little dinky thing hooked up to the drummers computer in the next room over when we play, and it records great.

[Mr Herb]

there is a problem. . . my drums are on another room and this one is quite small and the last time I plugged my bass in on the thingy on this room. . the chors had electricty! for real dog.lol. any ideas dudes?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

If you wanna solve your line in problem, you could mix up the EQ settings on your amp for less bass and/or more treble.

EDIT: Maybe if you rephrased your problem, I could be able to help. As of now, it's fairly incomprehensible. Don't worry though, I understand your position with being from Puerto Rico, so don't take it to heart. :thumb:

[Lateralias]

Wow so who's do the drumming for T&L? Or do we already have one?

[Mr Herb]

lolol tis kool.

when i plug the amp in on the thingy in the wall from were the electricity comes out, the chords when I touch them give me like a shock, like electricity, its very little but you can feel it. The thing is that it only happens on the room were my comp us at, not my room or anywere else.

How do you call the thingy on the wall?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

An outlet.

You may want to get the ground wire checked in that room...Do other appliances spark in that outlet?

Lateralias- Sliptallica tried doing them today, but he messed up on the second verse. But yes, he is doing them I think.

[ThePatient]

They're called outlets.

I don't think I've ever had my cables pout out any shock before, weird. Or I may just not be touching the end, so I don't know.

[Mr Herb]

yes an outlet lol. The electricity in my house is pretty scrwed up so erm bah.

Now I have a laptop to. . .I can attach a normal comp mic to a laptop right?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I need a new cable. Mine is on the fritz...I need to have it in the perfect position, or else it crackles and sometimes it won't transfer the sound from my pickups to my amp. :-/ Bummer for me. :p

Patient- Since Lateralias is going to do the guitar for T&L, you could probably do your backing track first. You guys can work it out as you desire, though.

Herb- Yes, you can.

[Huber]

I'm going to record Tick and Leeches in two parts. I'll do one all the way up to the interlude, then start with it. If I do it all at once I lose some stamina and the end sounds sketchy.

So, what are we doing for the interlude again? Two phrases? Measures?

[Lateralias]

Well I don't know if I'll do it for sure... I'm a noob at recording stuff.. so my tone might sound really crap.. but I'll give it a shot.

Any tips on recording from a mic on a computer though?

[ThePatient]

Hey, I've never recorded anything serious before either, so we can n00b it together.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Sliptallica- Sounds good. 2 phrases I think sound right.

Lateralias- Put the mic close to the amp, and put it on low volume. Not too low, or you will hear your strings in the background(my problem sometimes) but quiet enough that the mic doesn't start sounding super crackly.

Patient- You'll learn soon enough. I just started recording with this project, really. It's a simple process.

What programs are you guys using to record? If you dont have anything yet, check out Audacity (http://www.audacity.com). It works well for me and most peopel in this thread. :thumb:

Awesome.. thanks for that tip Jake. I'm using Audacity too.. getting the basics of it down fairly quick.

Alright Patient :p thank goodness I'm not alone!

[ThePatient]

I've had Audacity for a long time, but when I could never get the mp3 part to work, I gave up on it. But I got the encoder I needed when I got some other thing and now it works, so I'm using it again.

[Futuro]

i used audacity for a while, its a cool program but you need like some lame converter or somthin

/not quite sure what im talkin bout :p

[Mr Herb]

When I record ill be the ultimate n00b. lol. Ill be gpoing in circles just to pulg the dam mic into the comp.

[Lateralias]

Ahh I'm horrible when it comes to creating feedback.. I need help on how to get feedback similar to Adam's on T&L.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I coud link you to the LAME converter if you guys need...It's right on the Audacity website you pansies!! :lol:

Lateralias- Use artificial harmonics on the 12th frets. That's what I do most of the time for that song. I can never get enough sustain out of it though. :-/ Just expiriment a bit.

[Mr Herb]

I got the mic up at the laptop, anways, I can only recoird 60 seconds of stuff! am guessing I need that audicity thing you mentioned jake? Am gonna doanloaded and if I screw Ill ask you all for tips

[Lateralias]

Jake is offline.. but I can help you if possible.

[Mr Herb]

Its easier than I thought itd be. Can I for take the vocals off a song?



I put the patient on audicity but iuts dsnt play, I am confused. For now am just gona record crap and experiment.

[Lateralias]

Its easier than I thought itd be. Can I for take the vocals off a song?

Err... I don't know about that.. well you can try the noise removal effect.. but I really haven't toyed with it too much so I'm doubting it will really take out the vocals only.

[Mr Herb]

lol guess Ill jsut learn by myself am gonna record some bass:)

[Lateralias]

lol guess Ill jsut learn by myself am gonna record some bass:)

oh do you need tabs or something? To show you how to play the bass part?

[paintballpunk96]

I like tool's singer

[Mr Herb]

lolol no am jsut playing random stuff

[Mr Herb]

Hes ubber hot you know. . .

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Hes ubber hot you know. . .

Their gay flute player is more attractive

[Syncratic]

I like tool's singer

Wow, that came out of nowhere.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

I think he works out. ;)

[Lateralias]

All that Ju Jitsu training pays off.. yet he is the smallest in the band.. I find that funny.

1000th post! woohoo!!!

[Mr Herb]

I heard he visits gay bars. hell yeah


wow dudes so ive already recorded dont panic from coldplay on bass and drums on audicity, its teh ****.

I guess am ready now to record covers if needed althou I havent practiced many tool songs, just like 4

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Its a bit of a step up/down from Coldplay though

Their Glastonbury set was classic btw.

[Arrakakaka]

Haha, just got Opium Den. Impossible to find.

I'll upload it if you want.

[Mr Herb]

Its a bit of a step up/down from Coldplay though

wat?


I had to tape the mic to the amp, Id put it on the floor a few inches back and woudnt get the sound completly. weird i think

[Futuro]

Haha, just got Opium Den. Impossible to find.

I'll upload it if you want.isnt that the cd with a bunch of early demos?

[clearvision]

Its a bit of a step up/down from Coldplay though

Do not say such things, i was not in the right frame of mind for enjoying anything that night...but waiting up till 2 o'clock praying they would play shiver...then bieng bitterly dissapointed and angry that they didn't, adding to my sh!t awful mood. Was not good. They played everything's not lost though, so bieng ironic, all wasn't lost. Though they should really play shiver @ every show, it is their best song by far.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Till 2? They showed the set live, and that finished at 12:30. Their Kylie cover was great.

The only festival I would have wanted to go to and havent been able to.

[Mr Herb]

****! you guys should listen to the dont panic i made, I played the guitar part on bass and added some lil bit of echo. . its grt. . but dam Ill see how can I upload it later:)

but ive got a question, how can you make the sound more clear? like. . .filter it. . . cause the gutiar part on bass sounds sorta distorted. . .thats the only bad thing really. . .

[clearvision]

Till 2? They showed the set live, and that finished at 12:30. Their Kylie cover was great.

The only festival I would have wanted to go to and havent been able to.

They missed out a little bit of the set when they cut to see reazorlight or something...I hoped they'd show it later.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

God bless BBC3 for those parts.

[clearvision]

Dad was watching sky : \

What songs did they play on BBC3, say shiver, and you will actually die. :( And i figured since they ahd nothing better to show us than keanes set, which was probably the same as last year, they may show the BBC3 bits of coldplay. Are you a fan of the new coldplay stuff, i find most of it boring except for a message and talk.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Im a passing Coldplay fan, I dont own their albums, but like the general population, im familiar with the songs. And they are a good live act, albeit for different reasons to most of my favourite live bands.

I dont recall them playing Shiver, but it doesnt make sense for them not to, being a festival crowd and a headlining act, the singles should be a dead cert.

[repcak]

ONE question
are there lyrics inside of the cds from tool? nin id doing it all the time and i like it when you buy a cd and there is a little booklet with lyrics and some photos in them :thumb:
whats about tool, are they making booklets too?

[Futuro]

i cant record anymore till i get a new mic, any other drummers up for the challenge?

not sure what happened, but it seems that when i run a cable from the mixer, to the computer, whenever i make a sound this roar of fuzz comes through instead of drum sound. im pretty sure its the mic, cause i have tried different cables (mixer to comp. cables that is)

I'd do it but my mic is way to low of quality for drums.. I'll barely be able to get a good sound with guitar for T&L.. What song did you need to do though?

[Mr Herb]

what song do you need drumming for?

[Futuro]

stinkfist and aenima,

[Mr Herb]

I can prob do stinkfist, I jsut need to find out how to upload it

[Lateralias]

MJK has made it clear that he wants the lyrics to recieve the least amount of focus, so he never releases them with the CD. He will however, share them a while after the record is out.

Tool's booklets are great though, Ænema's being my fave (two weiners for daddy, lolz)

[Futuro]

im going up to best buy tommorow and am gonna by a new mic, hopefully that will fix the problem.

[Lateralias]

I need a better mic as well... anyone recommend a nice one that can be use for computer recording?

[Kage]

For what instrument

[Lateralias]

For what instrument

Guitar.. but if possible maybe an all-around type mic for vocals and drums.. I'm sure they are much more expensive though.

he shares it afterwards? how... cause the 'problem' that sometimes (or the most time) MJK sings in a style that i can't understand the words singing.

and can you tell me, what is in these booklets?

[Lateralias]

Didn't understand what you were asking in the first question.. But Tool's "booklets" or "inserts" usually are artwork.. strange (Undertow).. awesome (Aenima).. and somewhat mysterious (Lateralus).. one thing for sure is that Tool makes some impressive artwork for their albums. Go buy Aenima and you'll so what I mean.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

He posts them up on toolband, but he tends to email kabir too, so toolshed gets it too.

Opiate - Album credits, and weird vicar artwork

Undertow - Weird pictures, and credits (albeit, a little comical)

Ænema - credits, and alternative tool album names/covers.

Salival - Pictures from live shows, and videos, credits.

Lateralus - The Alex Gray transparent life cycle artwork

[BlindWriting]

Ænema - credits, and alternative tool album names/covers.
Why don't I have those in my Aenima linear notes?

[Lateralias]

Import possibly?

[repcak]

I mean that i can't understand what he is singing about; he sings so strange that i can't understand the words..... although not always... but most of his songs are difficult to understand the lyrics

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Do you have the actual Salival CD/DVD AJiG?

Happily, yes :D

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Why don't I have those in my Aenima linear notes?

Not sure, the oneI have does, but I know the US got several different Ænema releases (holographic one being the main one).

I can scan it in if you want

[BlindWriting]

Import possibly?
Nope, I bought mine at CD store in the city where I live.
Where are they located in the booklet?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

It's weird... sometimes the 'Tool Pantheon' sign pops up on my wallpaper... very strange.

Maynard was a dick in that interview he annoyed the hell out of me int hat interview.

so whats your thoughts?

Maynard: Uhhhh what you said.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

What interview?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

MJK is 50/50 in interviews. He can be in his sarcastic arsehole mood, or his babble on for ages, but never reach the point mood.

Latest interview with mynard about the music industry and stuff (http://193.109.142.18/~skwerl/apc/stuff/mjk_barelylegal.mp3)

[Lateralias]

Haha I can't stand Maynard in interviews.. he really comes off as a jerk sometimes. I've heard stories of people complimenting him at shows and Maynard responds with "F' off".
I can understand if he is avoiding and dislikes the whole "Maynard IS Tool" or "Maynard is the frontman" thing though.

Thanks for that recommendatin Jake :thumb: , I might be done with T&L by tonight possibly..

[Adam Jones is GOD]

MJK does have his moments , but he is too much of a jerk for me. Danny makes up in the personality departement.

[Darkness]

Guys when are the covers due?

[Rothmans]

MJK does have his moments , but he is too much of a jerk for me. Danny makes up in the personality departement.

IM not being bad but I cant honestly see why everyone loves Danny so much he is cool and all but not that amazing.

But he does play in Tool

DoG- August 1st.

And about Maynard being a tool- First of all lol@my pun. Second, yeah, he is a bit of a dickhead from what I've seen. I think if I could pick one member of Tool to sit down with, it would be Adam Jones. We share a lot of things in common. He plays guitar, as do I, and he used to skateboard, which is something I used to do as well. Plus, he has good taste in music, obviously. :cool:

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Hes the most down to earth member. He always signs autographs for fans, no matter what band he's playing for. He's also the best in interviews (its usually Justin and Danny in most interviews i've seen). Plus he accepted a grammy with the great 'Thanks to Mom, Dad...oh, and Satan' speech

[Mr Herb]

convert it to an mp3 and then YSI it.. :thumb:

Well, my friend can't bring his bass over today, he has to help out with something I guess. So I really have no clue when I can get the bass... I'm gonna try to get it as soon as possible though.

LAME mp3 decoder- You need this to save in mp3 format when using Audacity (http://audacity.sourceforge.net/help/faq?s=install&item=lame-mp3)

Once it is saved go here (http://www.yousendit.com) and upload it.

AJIG- So! :upset:

ok ill chek it out. ill prob have it by the weekend but since am not very expirienced with this ill prob wont use your gutiar tracks but well see. :thumb:


nevermind:)

[3074326]

Cool Edit Pro is causing problems. I have a rough draft. It has a random cymbal hit in it (it's a blip in the mp3), and the outro isn't finished with guitar. But for the most part it sounds good. :)

/will be done by Friday for sure.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Herb- You're not gonna use my guitar track? But then they won't be synchronized...:confused:

Chris- How'd the cymbal hit get there? :lol:

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Herb- You're not gonna use my guitar track? But then they won't be synchronized...:confused:

Chris- How'd the cymbal hit get there? :lol:

JoZ managed to get a random chime in his. Must be a tool curse.

Looking forward to your recording Chris

[3074326]

The cymbal hit is just a blip. Something stupid happened.

The timing during the middle clean part seemed off (it was probably me), but it all came back together as soon as I hit the distortion again. Odd.

AJIG- If I hadn't done a bit of premixing on Ticks, you would have heard my mom talking on the phone. :p

[Mr Herb]

Jake- I was thinking about putting a cd player like I did today and play along with it? would that work?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

That would work too, but why not just open my track in Audacity? It would be a lot easier that way. Less buttons to push I guess. My track isn't sychronized with the original Stinkfist, so you would have to burn it to a cd first to do it your way.

Wow.. okay Jake.. You can do T&L.. my mic totally sucks for this job.. I need to upgrade badly! Here is a very badly done (and incomplete) version of it.. notice the crappy quality aswell :p http://s30.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1IL047R6OIDZC2EVUIP4ZW6OOB

\is a recording noob




\is embaressed

Feel free to bash me on how bad it is! :lol:

edit: I couldn't fit parts together when I tried to connect them so it flows horribly.

[Mr Herb]

Jake- If i dont get it well synchronized for some weird reason, it can always be fixed by someone else right?


edit: I downloaded the guitar thigny 3 times but I cant find it with audicity. . .were could it be?

[Lateralias]

Jake- If i dont get it well synchronized for some weird reason, it can always be fixed by someone else right?

The tempo can be slowed down and sped up if to fast or slow. But if it's off timing that's a different issue.

[Spiritofmosa]

i like laterulus alot.. which tool album should i get

[Rothmans]

i like laterulus alot.. which tool album should i get
Aenema next then undertow then opiate best way but if you like there darker more straight forward stuff work you way up like opiat undertow then aenema.

[Lateralias]

i like laterulus alot.. which tool album should i get

Do you have Lateralus already my friend? if so.. go for Aenima.. work your way backwards if you really like Lateralus at the moment.

[Mr Herb]

like I did dude, get udnertow then lateralus and then aenima, perdy weird but it worked

[Rothmans]

Lateralus if my favourite tool piece I know alot of you prefer aenema but in my eyes laterlaus is one of the greatest pieces around I love that album I dont listen to it that much anymore because its gone a bit tedious but I have found myself listening to undertow a lot more of late anyway thats my last thought before I head on up to bed good luck people.

tis right, lateralus is teh ****

[Lateralias]

Opiate - Raw, heavy, short but shows the agressive roots of Tool
Undertow - Heavier than Opiate.. also darker too. Tool borderline on metal with this album, though still maintaining the signature progressiveness.
Aenima- Again it's heavy but less than Undertow, more "experimental" Tool is you ask me.. more progressive as well.
Salival - The bridge to the Lateralusesque sound, not really a new release of songs.. just a live album though there are some really monumental tracks here! Pu**** Live, No Quarter, and You Lied are brilliant!
Lateralus - .. well you already know how this sounds don't you :)

[Mr Herb]

Ive never heard opiate:(

[SmashingPumpkin]

Ive never heard opiate:(
It's pretty good. I recommend it. It's more like Undertow than the other albums.

[SmashingPumpkin]

IMO Aenema is the best album from Tool.

[Mr Herb]

It's pretty good. I recommend it. It's more like Undertow than the other albums.
Must be, buyt I dunno, something aobut it ticks me off, plus am short on cash. . .

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Herb- If you need to, redownload the file and make sure you save it somewhere you know you can find. First, check your "Recieved files" folder, then just download it again if you still can't find it.

Lateralias- Ok, but just let me know if you ever upgrade your mic and you can do it. :)

[Moses]

Ive never heard opiate:(
I recommend it if you don't have to pay too much for it. It's not that good production wise but you can see the foreshadowings of what Tool was going to become.

[Moses]

Hey, people should check out my Skindred thread. I'd appreciate it much.

I'm going to record since my family is out.

That would be great. I'm getting nervous that we may never complete an entire song. :lol:

Fix'd.

[Lateralias]

Wow didn't we have 46&2 down or is it still without vocals? and that is what you (moses) is trying to do?

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

IMO Aenema is the best album from Tool.

I agree. I think that there's more ambience and that there's great progression in the songs. Also, my two favorite songs are on that album: Third Eye and Stinkfist.

[Mr Herb]

lol, i must now listen to stinkfist till the weekend so I can nail it down correctly on drums. eulogy is teh **** :cool:

[Darkness]

I agree. I think that there's more ambience and that there's great progression in the songs. Also, my two favorite songs are on that album: Third Eye and Stinkfist.
Stinkfist is a fairly average song.. I don't know how that could be one of your favorites (I'm not attacking, just saying). Compared to the other album openers like The Grudge its a pretty weak track...

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Stinkfist is a fairly average song.. I don't know how that could be one of your favorites (I'm not attacking, just saying). Compared to the other album openers like The Grudge its a pretty weak track...

123. For someone to say that they like Aenima better because of the progression in the songs and than say that Stinkfist is one of their favorites, is a bit strange. That song is the most straight forward song on that album. And also, yes, The Grudge is much better than Stinkfist (IMO).

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

:confused: You're questioning why that is my favorite track? I love the lyrics, I love the intro, and I just think that the whole song is unique and a bit creepy. I love how Maynard uses the vocal effect going along with Adam's heavy riffing.

I realize that you're not attacking me, but you have to realize that a "favorite" anything is a matter of taste. So you think that The Grudge is a better track? I don't give a flying fvck! I don't care if the song is longer or more "progressive".. IMO it's more repetitive and doesn't give the same effect that Stinkfist gives...

No. I said that the album still has progression on it. When did I ever say that Stinkfist had that? I like the song because of the reasons aforementioned.

[Mr Herb]

stinkfist is hornier. . .and the lyricds. . .ill keep kiking till if feel somehting!

every man with testorone has to like that lol

[Darkness]

You think The Grudge is repetitive? Stinkfist plays the same riff about 50 times before theres any change... but whatever, to each to his own.

[Mr Herb]

lets not fight. . .bothare very repetitives at times. . .stink fist is much poppier and stuff but that dsnt mean its worse. ..

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

You think The Grudge is repetitive? Stinkfist plays the same riff about 50 times before theres any change... but whatever, to each to his own.

Stinkfist is a not a progressive song. The riff is also a lot better than The Grudge. The Grudge plays the same power chord strum like 92875458927 times.

Man, this is tiring.

[Darkness]

Yeah sorry, I'm a little bit pissed off tonight...

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Herb- It's keep digging. :lol:

As for Stinkfist and The Grudge, they are 2 of my favorite Tool tracks. Stinkfist is fun as hell to play on guitar, and The Grudge is the most difficult Tool song to play across the board. It's in 5/8 timing which makes the bass and guitar parts difficult, especially with the changing rythms, and the drum solo at the end is godly. Ken, the man of 20+ years of drumming expirience has never seen/heard anyone pull it off perfectly. that's saying quite a bit right there.

-He's in a prog band very similair to the likes of Tool. I can't wait to hear from Crutch!!
-He mods every once in a while, too. :p

He can play it, but he's never seen it done perfectly. Maybe you should start drumming just to prove how prolific of a drummer Danny really is. :p Everyone knows he's a beast, but to truly appreciate how good he is, you probably have to be a drummer. I don't drum, but if I did, I'm sure I would focus more on his playing than I would on Adam's riffage, which I do plenty of now.

[Darkness]

Yeah I know hes awesome and stuff, and he's probably my favorite rock drummer. But your right, I'd probably like him more if I was more advanced with drums and stuff.

Yeah, you could be a drummer.

Or you could be an average person and try to play a 43157/134 polyrhythm. Then you really know.

I'm not quite sure if that makes sense, but you all know what I'm saying.

[Lateralias]

I am a drummer and I usually learn from Danny's drumming...actually I have learned ALOT from it. Dynamics were improved, getting comfortable with timings, and polyrhythms. He is a very unique and one of a kind drummer out there... I love playing through Triad and Schism, but I've learned Parabola and bits and peices of T&L on drums, then a whole bunch of stuff on Aenima, but I always play it cause it isn't normal.. it's exciting and hella
fun! He's no god but he impresses like no other.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Surprisingly enough, today, I was trying to play polyrythms with my hands on my belly.

boredom++

I was playing 4/4 with my right hand and 3/4 with my left. Nothing complex, but still, it was fun. :cool:

Hey Chris, since you're a pretty knowledgable dude, what is the time sig for the 46&2 drum solo? It's seems polyrythmic to the guitar and bass parts, but yeah, help.

[Moses]

Everyone knows he's a beast, but to truly appreciate how good he is, you probably have to be a drummer.
This is the truth, sometimes I put Tool on just to listen to the drums.

[Lateralias]

Yeah a 4/4, 3/4 polyrhythm is the first step in understanding them.. it is easy to achieve but once you get use to it you realize polyrhythms can become insaneand have no limits!

Moses - I do this aswell.. motivates me to get behind the kit and excel in drumming! :p

[Joelbassman]

Danny is so underated.

Period.


:)

[Blizzink]

None of you want Adam's guitar?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

When I listen to The Grudge, I listen to the drumming. Same thing on Disposition and Reflection. I find percussion to be a very soothing insturment.

[Mr Herb]

ok ill stop the nonsense but i need a favor from u dudes, lsiten to thew song i record it today and sjut tell me if it sounds good, i play it all there and well i ****ed up everything even the drums, i can obviously play much better but my cll phone was in my pocket and it was vibrating and i was srota indecisive as if to pik it up or start again and well i almost stoped the song a couple of times, tomorrow ill do a better version of it:) pls listen to it.

You all should listen to Cog. Tool+Australian accents=Cog

I'd love to, but I'm on dialup, remember? :upset:

If you want reccomendations, check out Real Life, Run, Naming the Elephant, and Doors. All are great tracks from The New Normal.

As a bassist, I would kill to have a drummer like Carey backing me up...would make me look better :) I think, although amazing, Danny's drumming on T&L doesn't show his true potential. I really like the before mentioned solo on 46&2 and the drumming in the middle of "Lateralus" (when maynard sings 'Feel the rythum, feel inspired...), the swishing of the high-hat with the bass drum is bad ***, IMO (same thing during Eulogy when Maynard sings 'you claimed all this time...'. Also, cliche, but the end of "Schism" is amazing. well **** it, he's just amazing all around, anyway

My timing signature recognition sucks, but isn't Reflection in 8/8?

Having danny carey as your drummer if you were a bass player would be very hard if you were to let danny play to his full potential. I have so much respects for justin becasue he feels comfortable enought to let danny go wild in odd timing while he hold his own stuff down..he is amazing

I agree, the bass is often a very rhythmic instrument, and keeping rhythm to some of Danny's stuff must be rather difficult to say the least. Justin can hold his own though, most people often forget just how talented of a bassist Tool have.

Justin isnt overly amazing but he is really really creative with bass thats what I like about him so much.

[Artemician]

Same here.

If I want insane virtuoso bass, I'll go listen to some of Billy Sheehan's stuff for Steve Vai. Justin just makes great music.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Creative > Skill.

Hence why I hate any poll mx has, as it always levels out the other way round

[Moses]

Virtuoso Bassists > Virtuoso Guitarists.

Just my opinion. Also I wish Justin would drop the pick once in a while but that's just me. I like the thumpier sound.

[Artemician]

It would be interesting to hear him play without a pick, but it's alright if he keeps with it. I like his bass sound.

:lol: That might be a bit weird, and not even in the Tool-y sense. Imagine them with a funk influence.

Justin's bass tone far surpasses any others I've heard. Tim Bob of Rage Against the Machine coming in second for me, though. Both are very hard tones to try and match as well.

havnt been here in bout 3 pages and am too lazy to look back. any more stuff on the covers?

i bought a new mic, and its still making the noises, so i think it might be the cheap mixer making the popping and cracking, so i tried with the mic through the front of the computer and it turned out REALLY LOUD and distorted.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

No. We'll have Lateralus guitars garunteed by tomorrow, though.

Bummer. What kind was the new one?

Where's your cool avatar? Did the big one get taken away, or what?

another cheapo one. its called labtec am-22, its a vocal mic, :lol: i only bought it so i could test it out on my comp, im gonna take it back since i know its not the mics fault know.

about avatar, not taken away, im gonna wait and get an awsome one....im thinking of a blank white page exactly 100x100, then my user title saying "waste of an avatar."

[Artemician]

He probably took it down because it got screwed up like all the others.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

:lol: That would be a pretty halarious avatar man. Oh, and my mic is also a Labtec. Perhaps is something in your soundcard that is effing up. :-/ That would be a little more costly..

[Lateralias]

I tried to use a vocal mic aswell for recording T&L.. didn't go so well if you listened to it. Bad thing is that if you want a decent recording mic you'll have to cough up like $90..

I love how funky and different Maynard sings that song... his voice is just so.. funny. It's a good song though.. isn't it a difficult one on guitar?

[Futuro]

meh ......in all seriousness i dont give a ****.
if it lets you say it, it must not be bad

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Moses, you mentioned how Tool would sound with Justin playing some slapping- Listen to Hush. It's not Justin playing, you know, but it's still some wicked slappage. :D

lol@ Troll's typo.
