Tool

[TheSubtleArts]

smashing pumpkins are definitely awesome.

anybody got any ideas about what blairs talking about? maybe its a secret message...??

Maybe its as simple as: everyone wants to know some stuff about the recording process, so he did tell us some things about it. what they eat for lunch.

[Thor]

Who else in here thinks that "The Grudge" is a great song? After listening to it today I finally realized how great it is.

yes it is a great song. Parabol/a are my favorites on Lateralus.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking.

[Syncratic]

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

This Lateralus code crap seems bogus.



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.

You are the smartest n00b I've ever seen.

Anyway, does anybody know what Blair could be telling us, aside from what the band enjoy to eat?

Here's one far out idea.

Sausages = songs.

Joe = some guy who'll guest appear on one track. Either with vocals or guitar.

Re-read it thinking like that.

[Otherside]

The sausages could easily be tracks that have been mixed and stuff and are ready to be put on cd, or any other wild variety of things.

Elephtheria even makes sense with the release date theory because of eclipses and space are sometimes related to aliens, which supposedly was written on the Roswell crash site.

I guess I do now, heh :p

ok. . . erm lol . . .wouldve been interesting were it something the blair thing is pretty cool, but on both blair reports they are the same thing, (normally) he will change one and the other link will be something else. they are the same now.

oh and to sliptallica, my sense of humor shows up like **** over the internet, so if i say something like an *** hole just know im joking around, (that goes to all)

[Dude3]

Sup guys? Any new news on Tool?

Man, Bill Hicks is great. I just rented his dvd off of Netflix. I can't wait. Also, if you don't have Netflix, get it. It has everything. Its such a great deal.

Sidenote: I was browsing through Myspace, and I found my old science teacher's(he may be teaching my grade this year too) profile. Its great. He changed his name to some very corny name, so he wouldn't get noticed. And he made a few sexual jokes on there. I find it funny that he actually has a life. And if you're wondering what this has to do with Tool, uh, he likes them.

I'm starting to notice you all seem to dwell on songs like the first 3 on Aenema, Sober and Lateralus. It almost seems like you neglect the others. I mean theyre great and all but still...

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Are you kidding me? Someone mentions how badass The Grudge is, and you say that?

My favorite songs from each album are 4 Degrees, Third Eye, and Lateralus. All are in the second half of the album.

You are just incredibly wrong.

Lateralus is easily my favorite Tool song at the moment, along with Pu****.

[Magicaltroll]

My favorite song is Bottom right now...
I love the spoken word part :D

What's the connection between Tool and Henry Rollins again? He did the monologue on Bottom, but I don't recall why. :-/

He knew MJK and the band (but he knows everyone, only Alice Cooper knows more people in the industry). Plus Tool supported a few of his shows (and im not sure, but I think he also supported them as well.)

[clearvision]

My favourite tool song will always be push!t...

but other favourites include disposition, eulogy, swamp song, cold + ugly and H.

Nice to see someone got the deliverence thing...*plays duelling banjoes*

Anyways, I was playing Ticks and Leeches, really getting into it, and I got to the second chorus, and I was strumming the hell of of those chords, and it seriously pulled my guitar a step out of tune in 15 seconds. That's how intense I was playing. :-/

Intense is where the string and the pick break at the same time mid tremelo

The pick I was playing with is so worn down too. The logo is totally gone, and at the tip, it's basically a plastic dagger. :-/

I broke a stick one time and the top half flew at me and hit me square in the face and I fell over.

That was intense.

[Rothmans]

In an interview it said he lost in a poker game to them (obviously a joke thing or could not be) and he had a debt he could not pay so they said make an appereance on the album.

[Trintar_VIII]

I can play drums for any songs that need it. I have a microphone, though I'm not sure if I would be able to get it to work nicely. I'll give it a try, if there's a need for more drum parts. Just let me know.

Also, I've been behind on the pages (about 50), so is there any updates on the new album?

Many rumors have started because of a hint dropped in an update. the hint was that morse code thing in my user-title.

The most legit thing to come from it is they think the name of it is Elephthelia.

I know...but my parents REALLY wouldn't appreciate my singing in the living room, where this computer is. I want to put Audacity on the computer in my room, which doesn't have the Internet.

Nice, but I'd do the uploading when I get some CDs. Anywho, I could probably sing tomorrow, but my dad would get ticked. :lol:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Yes, but how would you get Audacity on it in the first place?

[Trintar_VIII]

Use a jump drive, it'll solve all your transferring of files problems.

Nice, but I'd do the uploading when I get some CDs. Anywho, I could probably sing tomorrow, but my dad would get ticked. :lol:
Tell your dad your trying out for a band thats been singed for a record deal

[Syncratic]

He'd buy that, but I'd rather do it in my room, that's where I do all my singing. I sang my first Tool song (Schism) in there, and that's where I write my lyrics, so I'd be comfortable there.

[Futuro]

if expresso is doing stink fist and aenima, i will do whatever song dude3 records, if i can get a decent drum sound.

could i request to do the grudge also? not for the comp or anything, just for the fun of it.... jake, i member you said you were learning it, so i might do a drumtrack within this week.

[Trintar_VIII]

faith, what do you play (on the grudge) for the electronic parts? My friend and I play that song a lot, and my toms just aren't giving the electronic sections of the song any justice.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

If you have decent recording capabilities again, record whatever you can, man!

The Grudge- I could probably try and record it right now. At least part of it. My tone will suffer greatly though, due to my lack of good distortion. :p

[Futuro]

something heavy on a turned off snare, and then i will over lap with bongos and a djembe.

[Trintar_VIII]

I guess I need to invest in some bongos and a djembe then. I was looking on ebay for some simmons pads and found 5 of them for $250 (or somewhere around there), but never got around to putting a bid on it.

[Futuro]

have you played the simmons? there are better triggers IMO

[Trintar_VIII]

No, I haven't played them, but I knew D.C. used them. So I figured that would be the best way to get the same sound as he does, though they weren't the same numbers as his. I still will look out for them though, I've found them to be quite interesting and have always wanted to play on them.

[Dude3]

In a sec, I'll try to send in a sound test recording. Like if I need to alter the settings a little. I'll just play a few bars.

[Futuro]

No, I haven't played them, but I knew D.C. used them. So I figured that would be the best way to get the same sound as he does, though they weren't the same numbers as his. I still will look out for them though, I've found them to be quite interesting and have always wanted to play on them. dont worry bout what trigger pads he is using, they dont have sounds on them, they just fire sounds. if you want most the sounds he has, get a roland MC5 (i beilieve thats the name) its a real expensive brain but one of the best.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I just recorded the first 3 minutes of The Grudge. It's actually going better than I figured it would. I would have done it all, but you know, my mom walked in "Hey do you want a drink?"

NO I'M ****ING RECORDING YOU WENCH!!!

It's very hard to get the rythm sounding good when it's just guitar, because you have to be spot on.

I'm gonna upload it to my soundclick, so I shall have it up in 10-15 minutes. for your listening pleasure.

[Trintar_VIII]

Yeah, I figured he had an expensive module of some sort that he was using, thanks for clearing that up. I'll still look into the pads though, just in case they come in handy some time.

[Dude3]

I'm not gonna do a soundcheck tonight. I forgot how to convert the files, and I'll deal with that tomorrow.

[Syncratic]

Hey, all...I'm seriously reconsidering recording vocals. I recorded myself singing the first verse of Judith...and I sound like a ****ing five year old...I've always sounded like that on tape, so.........

[Dude3]

I know. We all think that we may be able to sing. Then we record ourselves, and we get a little suprise.

I think this has happened to everyone.

[Futuro]

i bought this tool cover cd, it has some crap on it, there is Death Metal version of reflection done by Traslation collapse. it sounds like ***

Dude, try and record the package on drums whenever you can, send it to me then and Ill add the bass

[Huber]

Thats a killer deal on Simmons pads. I use Roland PD-9's and I bought my used for about 100 bucks a piece. Carey does use a MC505 among other things. The MC505 has been replaced by the MC909. I use a Roland SPD-S instead as I can create just about any sound since I have a laptop integrated into my kit.

Electronics built into a acoustic drum set is KILLER! It adds so much and takes away just about any limitation you can think of.

[Daven]

how much does you kit costs?

I use a Roland SPD-S instead as I can create just about any sound since I have a laptop integrated into my kit.

Electronics built into a acoustic drum set is KILLER! It adds so much and takes away just about any limitation you can think of.
I tried some amazing rolands at my drum shop the other day. These things already had a Tabla setup loaded in. That alone opens up the possibility of mimicking some D.C. sounds. (or should I say A.D.)

The Grudge is up. :-D
You have some riffs wrong, well, from the way I play it atleast. Like the second riff, is a F instead of the C you are playing. So it's "D,E(f),D,D(higher),D,E(f),D,F"

And (f) means flat. And E(f) is the first fret in drop D.

I mean, I might be wrong, but I jam to it all the time, and it sounds fine when I play it that way. Besides that though, great job.

[+zero+]

i have a sonor 2001.. proud to have a sonor thanks to danny. my first drumset was an old classic sonor.. it was pretty beat but i loved it

[Benny_G]

hey guys, i doubt whether this has anything do do with blairs recent post, but anyway...

"...or maybe it was Friday), a guy named Joe (not Ron!)"

http://www.errantyears.com/1998/nov98/000447.html:
"My mistake, I meant to comment to you Joe, not Ron, I must have been confused."

[Rounder]

here (http://www.matter4u.com/images/TheGrudge.txt) Ok, someone tell me what you think of the track. I'm hoping it's just me being hard on my self, but I felt very off in some sections. :-/

hey jake. nice job there, there are a couple things i want to point out. The other poster was right. you're playing that one riff wrong. it goes to D# (6th string 1st fret) instead of C.

when playing the open D riff (wear the grudge) you are muting the string after you hit it. Adam only mutes at a certain spot. The other notes need to ring out.

after the first verse that riff (humbled again) the notes do not ring out together, don't play them like chords.

at the heavy part it should be played like this

lol oh, and are getting yelled at by your mom in that recording? i almost fell over my chair laughing. Only cuz that used to happen to me on a consistent basis right in the middle of something really important, like recording.


EDIT: Here you go jake i forgot I had this. I tabbed the Grudge out.

i bought this tool cover cd, it has some crap on it, there is Death Metal version of reflection done by Traslation collapse. it sounds like ***

That's my favorite Tool song.

I may have to kill someone.

[Futuro]

they made it all of 4 minutes to :rolleyes: ^

anyway i was playing to the grudge today, and i found out i cant play it all, my feet arent fast enough to do the rolls on the bass drum :upset: at right around 1:19, he does a roll with his feet, faster than what i can play.

[Syncratic]

they made it all of 4 minutes to :roll eyes: ^

What do ya mean?

[clearvision]

They cut the song to only 4 minutes long...

[Futuro]

They cut the song to only 4 minutes long... thats the jist of it. that band HIM covered prison sex.

[Syncratic]

****...you can't do that..where can I hear these travesties?

[clearvision]

thats the jist of it. that band HIM covered prison sex.

Hmm, the question is, is it any good?

I quite like their love metal album. There are some interesting ideas on there, though some of it is a little too 'made for teenage girls' if you know what i mean (which you probably don't but i don't really know how to explain it)

I know what you mean...the only people I know who like them are, in fact, teenage girls and a male douchebag.

[Futuro]

i dont listen to HIM, everything seems to ride on that fukin singer, but he isnt all that great.

edit to below: im on dial up :upset:

[Syncratic]

Faith...can you send me that Tool cover album over AIM sometime? I really wanna hear the Reflection cover.

Four minutes....bastards.....

[clearvision]

I know what you mean...the only people I know who like them are, in fact, teenage girls and a male douchebag.

:lol: thanks.

It seems you don't know what i mean though...it just becomes so over the top with the whining about love.

The singer gets alot of respect from me, although he is a bit fo a fool, he writes all of their music (which includes the sacrement's piano line) so that is good.

[Moses]

Are you sure? That's not that fast, I just tried it.

Do you play heel up or down?

[Futuro]

heel up, but my feet are pathetic :upset:

[Syncratic]

It seems you don't know what i mean though...it just becomes so over the top with the whining about love.

I knew that one too, he's sort of annoying.

And I saw the Heartagram EVERY day at school last year, pissed me off.

Oh, BTW, you're not the douchebag, it's someone else, dude.

[Rounder]

Are you sure? That's not that fast, I just tried it.

Do you play heel up or down?

that is pretty **** fast. My brother can do it, but its fast as hell and its weird cuz you have to stop on an upbeat.

hmm matters been recording stuff on vid lately maybe I'll get him to put it on vid.

[Futuro]

that is pretty **** fast. My brother can do it, but its fast as hell and its weird cuz you have to stop on an upbeat. thats what i was thinking cause its 32nd notes at a decent speed. i have a hard time doing it.

[Moses]

It really isn't all that fast. And my pedals suck.

In terms compared to alot of drummers it's not that fast ie. Cryptopsy, Behemoth and Nile etc.

Definately not easy but I can do it.

[Futuro]

well your feet are better than mine, i dont know what you want me to say.
i cant do it, its physically impossible for me, not much else to it.

[Kurrpt]

well your feet are better than mine, i dont know what you want me to say.

that sounds like loser-talk to me faith. Try to think of it more as a work in progress :thumb:

[Moses]

It's all really in your ankles.

Practice makes perfect :thumb:.

[Syncratic]

Yeah....this guy I know (HIM douchebag) is a drummer, isn't bad. He can play the Grudge, and he has arthritis in his ankles. Keep trying, you'll get it!

Marshall-If that's your only problem with the song, then i wouldn't worry about it too much. :-/

Moses- I thought you said that you didn't have double bass...

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

If I had to classify HIM, I'd probably put it in the "wet-cunt" category.

I think they're 16th triplets... am I wrong here?

Never knew we had a female in the thread...:eek:

Wait, who's the female? :confused:

In chains said he would describe HIM as a wet-cunt, which clearvision made fun of by saying, yah HIM can make most women wet, and thefore insinuating that inchains was a female. I think :s

[Trintar_VIII]

herbtones, I'll try recording The Package tonight. I'm not really sure how it's going to work, I don't have proper recording equipment. So I'll play around until I get a nice place for the mic to go, or else I'll have to record several takes with the mic in different areas.

Yeah....I may not record any vocals, just enjoy what this thread has done already.

I'm going to attempt recording drums. Not sure how the mic'll work...

Actually I was talking more in terms of them sounding like wet-cunts, but touche. :lol:

[Syncratic]

In Chains, who's that in your avatar? That's always bugged me.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Come To Daddy, Come To Daddy.

Thats what I think everytime with that av.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

My avatar bugs you, or it just bugs you that you don't know who it is? It's Richard D. James on the Richard D. James album. His moniker is Aphex Twin.

[Syncratic]

Nah...it bugs me cause I don't know who it is......now I do....

I'm with AJIG on this one...it still creeps me out.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Windowlicker freaks me out more than that.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

PageCobain- Are you going to get a name change? I'd take advantage of the oppurtunity if I were you. :p

AJIG- Could you uhh..elaborate on that, please?

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

The Windowlicker music video features a bunch of women with Richard James' face distorted... It is a bit freaky.

But the intro is so funny when the limo comes by...

How do you change your name? I'd like to change my name to "Dried Muffin Remnants".

[Huber]

Heh, how predictable.

Everyone in the Zeppelin thread thinks the Led Zeppelin version of No Quarter is better, and I'm sure most of us in here think Tool's is better.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Go to the site forum(scroll to the bottom of this page, and select site in the forum dropdown menu.

Then find the thread that says something along the lines of "Ask here for merges/name changes"

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Okay, thanks. Let's see if I get the name.

hey jake, i wasnt really referring to that part. But instead of trying to type it out id figured id just show you what i meant. I was talking about the end of that riff. Sounds like you are missing a chord in there.

check out my soundclick i recorded what i mean. (http://www.soundclick.com/bands/9/markmattermusic.htm)

i posted my tab a few posts back to see how i play it.

Thats fine. I normally put it taped to the floor tom so it picks up the bass. Try and emulate the sound from the cd.

Dont sweat it to much remeber this is for fun :)



Am gonna change my name :D

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Ok, I'll check out the section you recorded.

I also just recorded Part of Me. I did it in 3 takes, and I double tracked it. It was sounding very thin compared to the original, and i messed up a couple of parts on my 2nd take, so that's why I double tracked it. It sounds pretty good, so I shall upload it. :-D

[Syncratic]

PageCobain- Are you going to get a name change? I'd take advantage of the oppurtunity if I were you.

Yeah...I requested Maynard James Keenan.

To faith: Dude dont give up on the grudge just cause you cant do that part! its jsut one part, improve or something but keep on going!:)



I am now Mr Herb and MJK is in* the house too :cool:

In the house, but you're right.

I find it ironic when I see Maynard James Keenan having the last post in the Official Tool Thread.

Yes. Every song tool have ever released. :p

[Mr Herb]

:lol: I see, am sure we could all agree to at least the 10 or 15 best tool songs. Itd be hell to get just one thou

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Lets see though. Im still trying to figure out how to do it though. It was going to be 'song 1 v song 2', but that would take aaaaaages.

So maybe go by album.

[clearvision]

Or we just decide between push!t, third eye, lateralus and eulogy...i think that is everyone covered...

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Or we just decide between push!t, third eye, lateralus and eulogy...i think that is everyone covered...

4 Degrees, stinkfist, The Grudge :angry:

The list will grow from that too.

[Mr Herb]

So maybe go by album.
Maybe the 3 best songs from each album and then w/e the heck comes out of there. Were wed do the polls?
We should requiere that all songs be heard by who ever votes in the final poll cause then some noob whos only heard one or two songs would vote jsut for the songs he recognises.

hmmm Its gotta be well thought out

[clearvision]

Ok...get people to list a top 10...then you can sit and count from there...'cause obviously you wanna be awkward and nominate songs that no-one else will :p most people side with push!t or third eye...

[Syncratic]

You guys are faggots.

**** off...or back up your opinion.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Ok...get people to list a top 10...then you can sit and count from there...'cause obviously you wanna be awkward and nominate songs that no-one else will :p most people side with push!t or third eye...

Im actually interested in seeing if people do though. There's been a lot of bad blood to Push!t from this thread, and not everyone jumps to Third Eye though.

Ok, we'll go an album at a time. And this'll probably be just the thread regs, so no worry about n00bs not hearing songs.




(as you can guess, there really isnt a lot else going for this thread at the mo, and this idea is the best way to keep it going along at a good rate.)

then witht he top 10 your number 1 gets 10 points...and your number 1 gets no points, like that...total up the votes and there we have it...

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I'm addicted to the new coheed and cambria song :(

I almost was, but the sense of 'surely this is a one off' puts me off. Plus I have enough new music to worry about already.


Im thinking we do it like this to start with.

Pick 2 songs off Opiate that you consider your favourites, not the best, but the ones you like the best.

We'll see if there's a similar pattern of what people like and what is hated. (now watch as they all get nominated)

We'll worry about the other albums after.

[Expresso]

Opiate

1. Hush A classic, one of my favorites
2. Opiate But of course.

Easy picks for me this time around. Lateralus is gonna be TOUGH.

[clearvision]

1) Cold & Ugly
2) Sweat


And Co&Ca own, well their 2nd album does, the first passes me by everytime i listen to it :confused:

[Kage]

I'll throw my Opiate picks in:

1. Cold and Ugly
2. Part of Me

[Mr Herb]

Cold and Ugly and Hush

[Adam Jones is GOD]

1) Jerk-Off: First song learned on guitar, and typical of Tool's early style
2) Cold And Ugly: Still awesome to this day when done live.

This wont be rushed methink, as we do have a large amount of regs who check now and then.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

1. Part of Me
2. The Gaping Lotus Expirience

:cool:

[Huber]

I'll admit shamefully that I have never heard Opiate. I'm waiting for a good price on Amazon for it...

/cries

[Rothmans]

1) Jerk-Off:
2) Cold And Ugly: Still awesome to this day when done live.
They are my two favourites on the album.

Something we do agree on :-*

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I'll admit shamefully that I have never heard Opiate. I'm waiting for a good price on Amazon for it...

You can sit out this round then.

Btw people, I think, for argument sake, Part Of Me off Salival will be left out, as it is just Opiate's played live.
