Tool

[coddingtown]

Your opinion. I disagree. I think maynard is more mature than that.

[SonorKen]

^^^^ More mature than what? You do realize that Tool are not the most religious people in the world don't you? This is one of the reasons I became such a huge Tool fan. I was researching Metaphysical topics when I heard them writing music about them.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I just think that Eulogy isn't even about Jesus. It very well could be, and that was my first impression, but it could also be about L. Ron Hubbard. (See: Scientology) It could also be about a numerous other people.

Ken- Just in case you didn't know, your avatar got pwned during the server change, so you may want to reset it. It may not appear F'd to you, but it is. Just a heads up. :-D

[Knifeboy]

I firmly believe that song is about Bill Hicks... And everytime I see Bill Hicks Anti-antismokers sketch, this is reaffirmed

[mattmackenzie]

my favorite tool song is schism

[Lateralias]

I don't think Eulogy is pertaining to Jesus really.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I'm thinking that he wrote it to someone as if he was portraying them as Jesus, whether it be in a sarcastic sense(which would make me lean towards L. Ron Hubbard) or in an actual holy figure. If the latter was true, then I'm really not sure who that would be.

Just my .02, take it or leave it.

[Knifeboy]

Part of Bill Hicks show was to get his message out about how we are all one, and if everyone opened their third eye, they'd realise that there is no such thing as death and we'll all live forever bla bla.. or something like that... .. So I think that could fit in with your theory..

[G_Mac07]

Was anyone here interested in hearing Cog or The Lateralus Code? If you were let me know and I'll YSI you some. :)

[Futuro]

Marshall, 3074326 did it, but some of it has to be redone. I'll IM him tonight to ask him when he'll be able to finish it, or he may pop in this thread, in which case, he'll probably see this and answer us. It is up on the Lachrysoundclick, which I shall copy/paste into this post so you can hear it jesus, my drum track ruined it :upset:

[Huber]

Just my .02, take it or leave it.

I firmly agree with this. Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard have their name all over that song IMO. Reading about the two clearly confirms this.

IMO Jesus wouldn't make sense. Jesus did die for us (if that's what you believe), however Hubbard didn't, but claimed he would.

Edit:

Did you guys see the thread on TDN about the guy in Hastings? This guy says he went and pre-ordered the new Tool album and asked the guy when the date was, and the the guy said sometime around th 23rd.

Either this guy is playing a joke, or he accidently pre-ordered Lateralus on Vinyl.

[emo=elmow/otheL]

[QUOTE=Sliptallica]I firmly agree with this. Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard have their name all over that song IMO. Reading about the two clearly confirms this.

What exactly do the Scientologists believe? I hear about them all the time but I have no idea what sets them apart.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I really don't know their exact beleifs, but I know Hubbard created this bogus religion that is aimed at the weak, insecure poeple looking for a place of solace. I know he exploits these people, and in turn takes their money, and is now rich, famous, and also a very sly piece of ****.

He's also dead.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

It doesn't mean the religion has died with him.

[Magicaltroll]

Bill Hicks is great...
I got his Flying Saucer CD or something like that, and its funny.
I thought that the sample used in Third Eye (the first one) was Maynard though, because I heard somewhere he was a comedian before Tool. But I guess its Hicks.

I might be terribly wrong about the comedian thing though, but I could have swore that I heard it from this thread.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

He's just as dead as Dimebag.

[milkman41]

...but it could also be about L. Ron Hubbard. (See: Scientology)
**** L Ron Hubbard and
**** all his clones. :thumb:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I've never heard that about Maynard, but it may be true. I'm figuring out his life timeline, and between Westpoint and Tool, I don't see where he would have fit the comedian thing in. :p

To guy above me-That's from Ænema, but that does show Tool's hatred towards Hubbard and his clones.

IC36- Okay, what are you trying to say though?

[milkman41]

To guy above me-That's from Ænema, but that does show Tool's hatred towards Hubbard and his clones.


I know it is, I just felt it was appropriate given the subject of discussion, heh.

[emo=elmow/otheL]

I just googled "basic scientology beliefs" and got all kinds of weird crap. I wont go into it but if you want to read about it it's all there. The sites look...cultish. Oh and "Scientology" is a registered trademark apparently. But it seems to be just another reincarnation cult that is "more about research about life than actual beliefs" or something like that. There you go. :)

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Jake- That he's....dead and therefore not getting rich, currently.

Does anyone have Bill Hicks stuff saved on comp?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

It's basically a cult disguised as a legit organized religion.

36- You get what I meant. :p

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

The most awful thing they did was convince a secretary of the WTC on 9/11 to join them. Talk about taking advantage of a person's emotions.

[G_Mac07]

Bill Hicks - Rant In E-Minor (http://s20.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=34VEAHTG4L1Z421KY71A0LC0CZ)

I will upload Relentless at some stage. Probably when I have more internet credit.

The Patient intro for The Lateralus Code (http://s20.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=34HGNOA6E7LZI1NK7VUBF0GVU0)
This has Mantra and Eon Blue Apocalypse layered over the intro, and I've also left the transition to Schism at the end.

And here's a couple of Cog tracks for you all. From what I've noticed, most people who like them are also pretty big Tool fans.
Cog - Bondi (http://s20.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3SQARKL6G5MQY33WTNR1KJIWOT)
Cog - Stretch (http://s20.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3B57YJDBH6CWH0LM1YX3A5GXRO)
Cog - Real Life (http://s20.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0WUBV4Q7UHATI1MW26QD44TFKB)
Cog - Naming The Elephant (http://s20.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=24FDN2PHVTUP0268XWRFAF4YFS)

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Sweet. I'll check out The Lateralus code bit, Bondi and Stretch, Which EP are the 2 from?

[G_Mac07]

Bondi is from Just Visiting Part One.
Stretch is from Just Visiting Part Two.

Every track from the EP's are available for download at http://www.sounds-like-lies.tk under the Media section.

[Magicaltroll]

Can someone upload "The Holy Gift" please?

[Mr Herb]

that the patient was cool.

[G_Mac07]

I can upload the entire thing upon request. Although it will probably have to wait until I get Relentless up as well.

Will there be beer, and yes even if you were serious i would join :thumb:

[Dustin_James]

Great job on Eulogy, by the way. It's not that hard to play, but I watched the vid and you did a great job anyway.

That cover of eulogy was awsome. :thumb:

[Magicaltroll]

That cover of Eulogy was ok. The lack of vocals REALLY took away from the... goodness, of the cover.

[Huber]

I agree, I felt like screaming "SOOOOOOOOOOO LOOOOOOOONG!!!!!" everytime the chorus started.

[Magicaltroll]

:lol:
Yeah, vocals are pretty much required if you want a Tool cover to not be boring.

[Knifeboy]

I disagree, watching matter play the thing in his sleep, weighed out the lack of vocals.. Heheh

Edit:
You could be the one
To save me from
My own existence

I was so sure that I'd sin and you'd pay too
I'm just glad you knew me enough to allow me
to always sit by you
So mad since you stopped giving all your commands
You weren't too mad when he called you
Your mind is helpless

^^
I think that's the mumbled part in eulogy.. I can't remember, it's been a while since I heard the song since I can't find my copy of Ænema

[Rounder]

That cover of Eulogy was ok. The lack of vocals REALLY took away from the... goodness, of the cover.

Well if you know anyone who can actually sing on key and scream without thier voice cracking like a adolescent teen I'd love to have some killer vocals on that track. :thumb:

[Syncratic]

Anyway, yeah, Eulogy was about L. Ron Hubbard. Danny said so in a radio interview after Ænima was released.

I will have a go, i love that song, and there aren't too many aggressive bits in it. BUt if there are, my vox wont sound too great so you could cut someone who can do those bits in, eg knifeboy/moses

[Mr Herb]

I'm 16 :lol: .
you are still an adolescnt teen lol

nothing to be ashamed of, am 16 too

Hey Faith Thanks for the link to third eye live i'm 2 in line now so thers not that much traffic there. plus, its funny here that only i'm the only one that seems to understand what tool speaks. but its cool cause i'm the only one

What are you talking about?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

What are you talking about? Tool speaking what?

[mudvayne420]

i meant i'm the only one in my hometown that understands what tools songs are speaking out.... and that on Music television sucks.com i'm only 4 min from downloading. hoped that cleared things up

[mudvayne420]

DAMMIT MTs sucks balls. i got bumped or some ****....i guess i'll just have to go to the YSI upload thread...

[Rothmans]

But how do you know what they are talking about everyone has there interpatations of the songs so I dont really know what you are on about.

[Futuro]

DAMMIT MTs sucks balls. i got bumped or some ****....i guess i'll just have to go to the YSI upload thread... your browser sucks, get firefox.

[BlindWriting]

I think he's saying he's the only one who finds some sort of message or meaning in Tool's music. Other people just see it as another band, or whatever. I think. Don't quote me on this. Literally. I'll pee in your pillow.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Kk, I get what you mean now, Mudvayne. I thought you meant that you were the only person that actaully knew the 'true' meaning of Maynard's lyrics. It's all speculation, there are only a handful of people that actaully know. As for the rest of us Toolophiles, we must use our mind to decipher the meaning. :-D

[BlindWriting]

And our mutant ninja turtle powers. That would be sweet.

[Mr Herb]

Yeah we all interpret it how we like. I think schism is a love song and I still ahvnt found my own meaning for parabola, Ive copied other ppls meanings for it. :)

[Futuro]

so have we actually finished a song yet, besides rounder and matters?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

No sir. We suck.

[Mr Herb]

Are any bass tracks needed?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Stinkfist, Ænema, and Lateralus

[Mr Herb]

You never ask me to do anything. I can prob do stinkfist within a week

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

You've never volunteered! Yeah, go ahead and do whatever you can, but try and play along with the backing tracks. Lateralus is all sync'd up to the cd, but not the other 2.

[Mr Herb]

SWEEEET!!! :) I'll join provided we have a holiday dedicated to penguins.

[Futuro]

No sir. We suck. what about drum tracks, i need a new sound card (im guessing) what songs still need the drummies (steals jakes word :p )

[emo=elmow/otheL]

OK, nobodys said anything in an hour so...

Theres all these rumours about when the new Tool album will come out and all kinds of theories and such, could somebody informed just summarize all of them?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Backing tracks reside here (http://www.soundclick.com/bands/0/thelachrymologists_music.htm)

Marshall-Stinkfist and Ænema

[Futuro]

Theres all these rumours about when the new Tool album will come out and all kinds of theories and such, could somebody informed just summarize all of them? here is my in depth theory, when you see a video come out, it will be soon

[Adam Jones is GOD]

here is my in depth theory, when you see a video come out, it will be soon

You know, rather foolishly, I haven tbeen getting half as nearly excited at the prospect of a new AJ video. Now I am though :D

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Rumors so far:

Teleincision is the name for the DVD. False
The album name is Refractionoid. False
The album comes out 9/26 Time will tell

There are more, but I don't recall any more off the top of my head.

[Futuro]

You know, rather foolishly, I haven tbeen getting half as nearly excited at the prospect of a new AJ video. Now I am though i remember seeing stinkfist on MTV, (back when MTV was cool) i was so intrigued by the video, that i didnt know what t expext next, but they have all gotten better in time, so i expect something great.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I think its fair to say that any rumour = false at this point.

I've found myself strumming the 4 Degrees intro a lot today.

i seeing stinkfist on MTV, (back when MTV was cool) i was so intrigued by the video, that i didnt know what t expext next, but they have all gotten better in time, so i expect something great.

Parabola is still my favourite video, possibly ever. And schisim had strange effects on one of my ex's.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I've still not seen a single Tool music video. :upset:

[Adam Jones is GOD]

:lol: at how open ended for interpretation Blair's latest entry.

Im sure those 'sausages' need the heat turning up on them to get them ready quicker.

[BlindWriting]

I've still not seen a single Tool music video. :upset:
They awesome. The only ones I haven't seen are Hush and Stinkfist.

[Dude3]

:lol: at how open ended for interpretation Blair's latest entry.

Im sure those 'sausages' need the heat turning up on them to get them ready quicker.
Haha, yeah. As completely vague as that update was, it leads me to think that we will be getting a good, informative update soon. Also, I noticed how the way the title was written for that entry. It made this symbol: • • • – • • – – • – – look like it could be the title of the new album. Like the game hangman. Just fill in the blanks.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Hooker With a Penis pt. 2.


:lol:

[Adam Jones is GOD]

• • • – • • – – • – –

• = Consonants
- = Vowels.


Get creative people.

[Dude3]

• • • – • • – – • – –

• = Consonants
- = Vowels.


Get creative people.
Just what I was thinking. Of course, Tool will probably use some word we've never heard of.

EDIT: I've gotta thank Gmac for the Bill Hicks uploads. This guy has to be my favorite comedian now.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I was really digging the whole Morse Code thing, but it still makes no sense. :-/

So, are you saying that you don't think it's a date?

[emo=elmow/otheL]

I've still not seen a single Tool music video. :upset:

Alas, neither have I. You can watch them at Toolshed, but every time I try it takes half an hour to download like, 1%. :angry: Stupid computer.

[Mr Herb]

Am thinking its the stittet thingy causd it had a meaning on another language i think. am leaving for chruch i hope to see a whole new theory when am back :)

[Dude3]

I was really digging the whole Morse Code thing, but it still makes no sense. :-/

So, are you saying that you don't think it's a date?
Yes. If you go check the update at Toolband, it portrays the code like that. I truly think that it may the album title, in hangman style. I'm not ruling out the previous ideas, but I'm starting to like this one better.

[emo=elmow/otheL]

Maybe its not supposed to mean anything, and the title really is just a bunch of dots and dashes. Or maybe it has to do with one of the songs in particular.

[Mr Herb]

Its probably the code for the word, no the title its self. It certainly isnt the date so we can scratch that whole rumor aobut the 26th being the relkease date

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

It could mean absolutely nothing at all. Man, wouldn't we look like a bunch of jackasses if that was true. :lol: I'm really starting to not care about the new album. If I get to chalked up about it, and it's not as good as Lateralus, then I'm going to think it sucks. Therefore, I say screw Tool!

:shifty:

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Good conclusions.

1) Its to represent each album track, dots being heavy songs, dashes being light.

2) Its a new time signature Danny is going to use. Its so complex, it cant be described with numbers, it has to be wrote out in dots and dashes.

3) Its what MJK dick actually looks like

4) Blair sneezed on his monitor, and his text recognition turned it to that

5) Its an old fashioned music box template for the first bar of the new song.

6) Its a new language Justin made up

7) Its Adam's heart rate

8) Its a virus

9) It means nothing whatsoever

[Adam Jones is GOD]

[Dude3]

Stittett may be right, although I doubt it for some reason. Could it be Stimem to, or did we rule that out? Cause with Stimem, I found this stuff on some type of emission(I forgot the exact words), and it reminded me of "Astral Projection".

Also, I found this thing. If you press the continue link, you get some weird coordinate type thing. Here: http://www.toolband.com/secrets/crypto.html
Do you think it has any revelance?

[emo=elmow/otheL]

No, that's been there for ages. I forget the relevance of the dates on there though

[emo=elmow/otheL]

What is this Stitett stuff. Never heard of it.

[Dude3]

What is this Stitett stuff. Never heard of it.
If I'm right, its the what you get if you decode the symbol, assuming that its in morse code.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

There are seriously over 300 combinations though. It really could be anything. :-/

[emo=elmow/otheL]

If I'm right, its the what you get if you decode the symbol, assuming that its in morse code.

So is it not actual Morse just a derivative that borrows from it?

[Dustin_James]

This is so gay.

[emo=elmow/otheL]

There are seriously over 300 combinations though. It really could be anything. :-/

Maybe thats the point. Tools songs are supposed to make you think, so maybe this is a just a grand scheme to make us think while we await the new album. Or maybe the symbols were something that inspired a song. They talk about synthesia in their interviews now and then...

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

emo-No it's morse code.

DJ- sftu or explain yourself. :)

[Dustin_James]

emo-No it's morse code.

DJ- sftu or explain yourself. :)

This conversation does it enough.

[Kage]

I've concluded that it should become the symbol for "over-analysis"

[clearvision]

Woah look who is back after the most ridiulous weekend ever...

Friday - Birthday, get slaughtered, buy Harry Potter
Saturday - Nurse Hangover, Read harry potter, get slaughtered
Sunday - Nurse hangover, read harry potter, have 1st driving lesson, finish harry potter

Yeah...so I'm back...if you are wondering the new book is bearable up untill the end where it just gets annoying. However it was still good...

Any breakthroughs/news?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Harry Potter is the book equivalent of Metallica.

And check back a page for my thoughts on the symbol dealy

[Kage]

What? I don't understand the Harry Potter = Metallica comparison.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Kage- I'm beginning to think that you are correct. :lol:

Anyways, I asked Deadohiosky to forward Blair's email about the whole dot crap dash thing to me, so once I get it, if you're good, you may get to see it as well. :naughty:

HP=Metallica because both are overrated, over-fanboy'd, yet still good. :-D

[clearvision]

I don't think she sold out, just made it more angsty, which made me real angry.

EDIT : and there was no popping snare, or maybe thats the next book?

[emo=elmow/otheL]

I've concluded that it should become the symbol for "over-analysis"

Dude. :amaze:

Hes right...What have we been doing with our time? Seriously, this make more sense than anybody elses idea!!!

Your a friggin' genius! Seriously!

**** these theories, Im going with this dudes idea.

[Kage]

I think the books have gotten better with each release, although I haven't read the new one yet.

[Kage]

Dude. :amaze:

:lol: AJIG I wonder if we can contact Carol Vordeman to help us with our quest? Or that woman that always got the longest words on countdown, alright she sued a dictionary, but daaarn she was good.

[Kage]

ill just wait for the movie (i hate to read)
Bah.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

What? I don't understand the Harry Potter = Metallica comparison.

Overrated, defended by too many idiots who believe it to be the only great book out. And even though I know there's some good stuff in there, im put off by the fact the crap (which there is, my sister is a HP fangirl, and she even admits its got some really bad aeas) is hyped up too.

Though I havent read any, I cant complain really.

[Kage]

I enjoy the books thouroughly, though, and as far as I'm concerned there's no reason to look into it any further than that, especially for the type of book it is.

[Dude3]

What's the whole deal with the new HP book?
I'm not interested in Harry Potter at all. It may be a good series, but nothing can bring me to read them. Its not that I hate reading, its just that I can't bring myslef to do it. I always fake book reports. And there are a lot of books I want to read, I just can't stay on a schedule of reading them. I'm more of a movie guy.

[emo=elmow/otheL]

Logic, my friend, is the true path. ;)

Indeed.

[Kage]

I'm more of a movie guy, too, but I often wonder why when I finish reading Stephen King books.

[clearvision]

Overrated, defended by too many idiots who believe it to be the only great book out. And even though I know there's some good stuff in there, im put off by the fact the crap (which there is, my sister is a HP fangirl, and she even admits its got some really bad aeas) is hyped up too.

Though I havent read any, I cant complain really.

TBH the books do have their bad points, sh!tty endings and in this book kids falling in love (which i stated in a thread in the pit seems to crop up in every book i read which focuses on kids), but there is something that really hits you with the book, it makes you want to go to hogwarts (sounding lame here), and puts you in a good mood. I read it in 10 hours with hangovers, which is some pretty mean feat, so yeah it has to have something going for it.

I do read other shizz too, the speed i have digested this means i can get back on my summer reading adventure, finishing off the discworlds and truckers/diggers/wings series by pratchet and the 'reading list'...which is...

A Clockwork Orange – Anthony Burgess
Trainspotting – Irvine Welsh
Fight Club – Chuck Palahnuik
Animal Farm – George Orwell
Nineteen Eighty-Four – George Orwell
Catch 22 – Joseph Heller
The Catcher In The Rye – J.D Salinger
Dark Tower Series - Stephen King??

[Dude3]

I'm more of a movie guy, too, but I often wonder why when I finish reading Stephen King books.
I really want to read the whole Dark Tower series. I got half way through the 2nd book, lost it, and haven't got back to it. That was like a year and a half ago.

[Kage]

I haven't read the Dark Tower series, but my brother says it's absolutely amazing. I don't think he'll ever beat The Stand, though.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Im still waiting another Andy McNab release. My favourite book series by far.

And I should also try and get into Chris Ryan's books too, he has considerably more to offer in material manner.

[Dude3]

Clearvision, you have the best summer reading list. A Clockwork Orange is a great book. I have to read The Giver and The old man and the Sea. I have no interest in either one of those books.

[Kage]

I have to read For Whom The Bell Tolls, I think, but I never do summer reading.

[clearvision]

Clearvision, you have the best summer reading list.

I know all i need now is a GF and a Job and i'm sorted, i have taken to driving rather well (I think/hope). And the rest of the time i shall spend reading and going on adventures on my bike :lol: Best summer ever.

/optimism ++

[emo=elmow/otheL]

I haven't read the Dark Tower series, but my brother says it's absolutely amazing. I don't think he'll ever beat The Stand, though.

Ive read the Stand and all the Dark Tower books. Excellent! Its really neat how he uses the dark tower to tie a bunch of his other books together which includes the Stand actually...Stephen King rules.

[Dude3]

I never do summer reading either. Although, this year they said that we would get a test on the books. It smells like BS to me, but I'm not really sure. I'll start the Hemingway one in a couple minutes. I think I'm going to try to read all of it tonight.

I usually have to do essays. Needless to say, I have to use quite some finesse in my writing for those, but usually if you have a nice teacher s/he doesn't count it for much.

How many dark tower books are there now? I seem to remember that I read the first four, and thought it was some of the best books I've ever read

[Kage]

There's a total of seven in the series.

[Knifeboy]

Woot!.. It pays off not reading for a couple of years

[Futuro]

Have you all heard the track danny played on with Collide?

[Dude3]

I was going to go start reading, but my dad is blasting some Bee Gees on his computer. The bass is anoying the hell out of me. I can't concentrate!

[emo=elmow/otheL]

Woot!.. It pays off not reading for a couple of years

There like the Harry Potter books in that they just get longer and longer.

The Dark Tower books I mean.

[emo=elmow/otheL]

Have you all heard the track danny played on with Collide?

No, but I heard that he played with someone else for an instrumental album. Les Claypool was also featured if I remember correctly. Dont remember what it was though. They talked about in Guitar World....

[clearvision]

The last HP book dragged more than this one, when harry was bieng victimised by umbridge it went on and on...

i think its been on the site for quite a while, long before the rumors of the new album started i believe, so i dont think it has anything to do with that.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I hate to be somewhat of a buzzkill, but uhh, Tool talk plzkthx. There is HP talk going on the in community thread, so take it there if you wish to continue.

I know there is not much to talk about along the lines of Tool, but if that's the case, let it die. :p

Ive also always wondered if he uses any effects while playing triad apart from distortion

[Huber]

Does he play the other guitar parts in The Patient live? I believe there is more than one guitar going on in the beginning.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Jones uses an Epilady for the solo in Triad. It's used to remove hair from any part of your body. :p

Sliptallica- That's a synthesizer, not a second guitar. I'm guessing during live sets, they have it on loop or something.

On the tab it says there is 3 guitar parts, and I swear I can hear them.

ive never seen it played live, but theres obviously no way they can play 3 guitar parts live. maybe Maynard plays one but he third must be synth.

nvm, it's just two. I don't know where I got 3.

http://www.mxtabs.net/tab_versions.php?path=Guitar,t,1443,Tool,The+Patie nt,103965

It comes in twice in the beginning.

[Mr Herb]

Live Mayanrd dsnt play anything. I ehard somewere that it was just double tracking, cause if you listen closely it plays the same stuff that Adam plays I think. . . prob just a double track. . dunno. . .am not much of an effects expert

Adam does play the synth live, he has it hooked up to a floor pedal that triggers the synth when he steps on it. pretty cool.

and maynard does play something live. He is using one of the steinberg looking things, possibly a synth guitar like the Roland V-guitar. I have never been able to figure out what he is doing the times ive seen them live.

[Rounder]

every Tool song ever has double tracking. All metal/rock music in general has 2 sometimes even 8 (Justice) guitar tracks, Mostly playing the same thing, but it makes the guitars sound a lot bigger and heavier. Ive always doubled rhythms during heavy parts.

I have Red, great record, for those that dont know, Tony Levin, from Liquid Tension Experiment, and Pink Floyd for a little whole, played bass for Crimson at one time, he does on red, and you can hear the 'chapman stick' thingy he uses. He is an amazing musician one of my top 3 bassists. along with Justin and Billy Gould.

there is flanger on a lot of parts, you can tell it on the hihats and snare, you can hear the phase, and of course right before the breakdown after the second chorus where they are doing that polyrhythm, its over everything. If he can't hear it he is deaf.

Anyways, I'm downloading it. You're a good man. When I hit 5k, I'll try to get you all something special. :-D

Anyways, since one of my cables is on the fritz, I took my effects processor out of my rig(lol, sounds complicated) so I'm playing straight into my Ibanez 10 watt. I then cranked up my overdrive and volume to 11, yes, 11. I had an empty house, so I did some jamming to Part of Me, Ticks and Leeches(minus the segue, since it's gay) and Lateralus. Lateralus was amazing to play just balls out with no effects. I forgot how fun something simple can really be. On the second solo, since it's just pure wah wah, I did quite a bit of improv. A little tapping, some other legato stuff. It was quite a grand time. Most fun I've had playing guitar since I started learning Tool songs. :p

They're awesome! There are so many different things that you can do with them. You can emulate basically any tone, and create numerous unique ones. Granted, there are some that you really don't need, but for the most part, I'd consider my Digitech to be a great deal.

[Futuro]

for distortion sounds, the cheaper ones, are very weak, but pair it with a boss metal zone, and your all set.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I get all of my tones from mine. Stinkfist is very dialed in. I have presets for Jones' typical sound, Stinkfist, and 46&2. I also have a decent Tom Morello tone, plus a myriad of my own stuff. I find clean tones to be harder to emulate, just because with distortion, you don't have to be exactly spot on to sound similair to what you're trying to get.

This Lateralus code crap seems bogus.

Largely because it is. It just fun to look at the album in a different light though.

Ive got the Lateralus album, has to great songs on it, most notably 'Lateralis' which is simple but i love thrashing ma guitar when i play it :thumb: any other songs like lateralis, but arent on the lateralus album? thanks

[clearvision]

Hmm i advise you to pick up the aenima album, there are some great riffs on that album, stinkfist, H, Forty six+2 and aenima...

Lateralus is a different style to their other stuff, aenima (album) comes closest. Before aenima tool played alot of hard rock.

So yeah I advise you to check out Aenima...:)

On another note i have adventured into the realms of the smashing pumpkins, I downloaded mellon collie and the infinite sadness...we shall see how this goes...

SESSIONS, CREDITS
& LUNCH BREAKS FROM • • • – • • – – • – –

Although it might not get mentioned on the next CD, for the past couple of weeks, a multi-tasking chef Maynard has been providing the barbecue for his fellow band mates to consume at lunch breaks during the recording process. However, last Thursday (or maybe it was Friday), a guy named Joe (not Ron!) something or other who is working with the band grilled up some kind of sausages that were described as “excellent.” Knowing this is a bit vague for many Tool enthusiasts who want specifics about the recording process, tomorrow I will attempt to find out some more details about these sausages of Joe’s.

Hmmm...

/awaits with optimisim.

I have Rotten Apples and that's awesome as it is. I bought it the same time I got all my other great greatest hits albums. (REMs and Soundgardens)

[clearvision]

Yeah first side of mellon collie was good.

What is that symbol on DC's shirts and that Tool always has on stage? That purple/yellow/green thing?

Sorry if that's a stupid question but it's driving me nuts.

The symbol in the middle is the geometric form of Merkaba.

As far as the symbols surrounding (e.i. the pentigon facing up and down) could symbolize the penticle meaning balance of life. Facing up the male version, and facing down the female version.

As far as the surrounding geometric shapes of that, I have no idea. But then with TOOL it could mean something to them, in turn makes more sense than the later lol

Hey DJ,
Dude, I don't mean to sh*t on your parade or anything, (and I know I'm still a noob) but everything I have seen you post on this thread thus far is of nothing productive.

If you're not insulting something or saying that something is "gay", you really have nothing to say. I just think that the TOOL thread is something completely opposite of that. I'm not here to flame on you or anything, but come on. It just kills the feeling of the thread, I think.

Opinions are cool. It's what makes us us. But if an opinion isn't productive, then it becomes a rant. And no one likes crying.

Just a thought.

He's probably saying that they found a cool idea for the album. Sausages was probably just a metaphor.
