[SonorKen]

How about some actual conversation, good god enough with the lists! THey are BORING.

[mudvayne420]

I heard Passeger-Deftones a while ago and its a pretty bad song and maynard singing the chorus is pretty cool.

[G_Mac07]

Hey! That's an awesome song, how dare you....

Chino's and MJK's voices really compliment each other, or so I think anyway.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Ken, do you have any new Tool news?

:lol:

[mudvayne420]

i meant its a Great song is how i should've put it..yeah i think both their voices do comply with each other. and its funny that maynard is mostly singing the song

Seeing as Mr SonorKen thinks lists are boring I think Ill take a shot at interpreting 4 degrees. My interpretations appear italicized.

4 Degrees

Get up and free yourself from yourself.
This is the very start of the song, so its kind of ambiguous what it could mean, but I think it has to with personal inhibition.

Locked up inside you,
like the calm beneath castles,
is a cavern of treasures that
noone has been to.
Let's go digging.
Bring it out to take you back in.
The cavern of treasures is all the aspects of the person(Ill refer to him as Jimmy from now on) that he either doesnt know are there, or does know but doesnt use. Lets go digging means, lets see what kind of potential is here, lets use this etc. Bring it to take you back in I think means by doing what I described for the last line that the person will be able to really live to their full potential.
You won't do what you'd like to do.
By this I think Maynard means that Jimmy would rather just sit and do nothing about the problem and so he has to exit his comfort zone to become a better person. Also I think theres an element of the unknown here...
Lay back and let me show you another way.
...And now Maynards going to help him...
I'll kill what you want me to,
take what's left and eat it.
Take all or nothing.
Hmm...I think he means that he'll kill the bad parts, and then poor Jimmy will have to either come to terms with the good parts and evolve as a person or hes basically screwed.
Life's just too short to push it away.
Its srupid to just not try.
Take it all.
Take it all in.
All the way in.
Let it go.
Let it go in.
I think this has a little undertone to it as in, (dont be afraid to) Take it all in. Basically dont be afraid of living.
You won't feel what you'd like to feel.
Once again the element of the unknown, I think this means Jimmy is going to feel stuff hes never felt before and it might scare him but...
Lay back and let me show you another way.
...It will be better to suffer a minor pain and know what else is out there then the alternative.
If you knock me down I'll come back running,
knock you down,
If you try to resist it will backfire and make things worse, or at least no better. In other words, no progress will be made, which is the point of the song I think; personal progress.
it won't be long now
I think this line is obvious...
All the way in.
All the way.
So far this song has been kinda hey Im helping you, hooray! but now it almost seems like Maynard is forcefeeding poor Jimmy this new life, which opens a completely different avenue of interpretation, basically a dichotomy of whether the protagonist(Maynard) is really the good guy here.
Take it up higher.
4 degrees warmer.
I think the 4 degrees bit might be a scientific reference; a metaphor of global warming. See there are all these scientists talking about how just a little warmer would be such a drastic change, yeah you figure it out. But I think that might be kinda saying that Maynard isnt telling Jimmy the side effects of whats happening, you know kind of a filtered reality.
Give in now
and let me in.
You'll like this in
Don't pull it out.
And this is where its obvious Jimmy is being force fed, threatened etc.
It brings us closer than
dying and cancer and crying.
This is kinda like "Were family! You have to listen to me now!" Kind of a scary cultish blood brother bond. These lines are probably lies.
Come on .
You can take it all.
Just like that.
And finally this is where the "New and Improved" Jimmy2000 is born, with a delusion of invincibility, and now he is just a pawn...Hmm...

Well there it is. The whole taking a good thing and using it badly and the cultish seduction give it the ubiquitous anti-religion glow but as always I think its more then that. I think theres the also TOOL-ubiquitous message of think for your self even if all the answers are there. If they are the right answers, think about why that is. Even if someone is telling think for yourself, think about why that person would want to tell you that. I think Maynard might be kind of saying not to take Tool so seriously that every action you take is Tool influenced or not even Tool any band or person you admire dont be to easy to influence basically.

Conclusion: This song is a warning not to be to easy to influence by any influence you might have. Also its about personal progress, and I suppose might have some religous portent, but I wont get into that.

The End :)

God I hope I didnt erase anything...

[Mr Herb]

lol why 4 degrees of all tool songs?

[emo=elmow/otheL]

lol why 4 degrees of all tool songs?

Cause noone else has.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

The anal cavity is 4 degrees warmer than the snatch, in case this hasn't been established yet.

Oh and Four Degrees = best song off of Undertow.

From the lyrics, it seems like a pre-Stinkfist type thing.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I really like the intro. Really not even sure what kind of effect he's using though. :-/

I think hes probably using some sort of delay or flange and picking between the bridge and the tailpiece.

[Sleeper]

My Opiate Favorites:

1. Part Of Me
2. Cold And Ugly

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Cold and Ugly is easily the best off Opiate. Jerk Off is like a mediocre + vulgar Cold and Ugly.

Sober is the best off Undertow.

Probably Third Eye from Aenima.

And this is tough but...Lateralus is probably my favorite off of Lateralus.

[Futuro]

im lovin the name dried muffin remnants :lol:

[Sleeper]

Im thinking Ticks and Leeches or The Patient from Lateralus.

I don't care what you say the outro for Jerk-Off is the highlight of the album.

Agreed. I like the intro too. He just badmouths the crowd, and the crowd loves it.

But the Cold and Ugly one is better: "Throw that Bob Marley Wannabe Mother****er Outa Here!"

im lovin the name dried muffin remnants

Wow! Just noticed the change. Sweet. In Chains 36 was definitely too generic.

[Moses]

Agreed. I like the intro too. He just badmouths the crowd, and the crowd loves it.

Yeah, the Cold and Ugly intro is better but Jerk-off's outro is better.

[Mr Herb]

"Throw that Bob Marley Wannabe Mother****er Outa Here!"


. Great quote

[Moses]

The Sweat intro is awesome too, as well as the song.

[Magazine_Gurl]

I wasnt a big fan of Opiate, but from undertow on was amazing. I think they have progressed more with every album.

My favorite songs from them are The Patient, Pu****, and Disposition/Reflection/Triad.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Im thinking Ticks and Leeches or The Patient from Lateralus.

I looked at the number of times I've played Ticks and Leeches, and it's ridiculous. It's easily my most-played song on iTunes. I think it's a very approachable song, so-to-speak because of its drum-intro.

[Moses]

In fact I just realized every song on Opiate has an awesome intro.....

dsnt it bore you to death when it all slows down?

[Magazine_Gurl]

Thats one of my favorite parts Mr herb, it gives the song a real sense of length, But i dont think it ever gets boring.

well to each his own then

[Futuro]

thats the only part i dont like about that song

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

No, I like the acoustic part. It just shouldn't be so god**** long. The song has a crescendo and needs a slower section to get that crescendo at the end, IMO.

My favorite part is actually the intro. I bet a lot of others agree.

[Mr Herb]

yes the intro pwns, I play to everyone I show tool too but change the song after a minute or two. The crescnedo shoudlve been like 2 or 4 bars, not as long as it is

[Magazine_Gurl]

i like the part after the middle, where it gets loud real sudden, that parts cool :p

[Magazine_Gurl]

cool these smilies actually work :) :amaze: :p :cool: :rolleyes: :D :naughty: Awsome

[Mr Herb]

Try to avoid such post magazine gurl, this is a tool thread and well. . . you might get reported!

[Magazine_Gurl]

im sorry, didnt mean to do something bad, i just thought the smilies are cool :cool:

[Phobophile]

I play bass thank you for asking,but this is really the wrong place for this too.There are full on forums for individual instruments in this place.This is strickly a Tool thread.If you can somehow tie that into having something to do with Tool you will be okay.

I got a better question for my fellow gearheads/toolophiles.Who here (besides me) goes to the Toolspeak,Aeon Blue,Evil Means,etc. chat rooms at toolband.com ???

My thoughts on the latest latest tool update:

MESSAGE TO HARRY MANBACK PT3!!!!!

[BassMasterMike88]

I'm not sure whether this is old news or not but i heard somwhere that Tool is releasing a vinyl of Lateralus for some unknown reason, which would be awesome since I have a turn table.

Is this ture about vinyl Lateralus though? :confused:

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Yup. Out in August. Better late than never.

Pfft, fine, was only going one at a time because I didnt think people could handle them all at once. Ill count all the mass votes in your format then. But we have top 10s, Opiate and random lists that wont count, or ill get confuzzled

[clearvision]

Top 10's would have been better, then you give 1 point for songs that come in at 10 and 10 for songs that coem in at 1, or something. Like how the top 100 MX'ers was done...

This forces people to nominate more Undertow and Salival songs. It also shows the top song off each album. Top 10 would have been good, but wouldnt have given all that.

But i would rate more songs off Aenima than i would have done off undertow and opiate...

...Considering we were searching for the top tool song, or originally ranking all 54 tool songs, my method wins.

I really should get out more :(

[Adam Jones is GOD]

You'll still pick your fave out this way though.

This method sticks, its not like we're going for exact science here. Plus I ache too much from work to start re-writing another score table for you people.

Oh, and for the record- Pushit live> Third Eye Live

it seems im the only person that likes H........oh well :upset:

tomorrow I will attempt to find out some more details about these sausages of Joe’s. sounds good

This was an Italian sausage as some of you guessed, served with an Insalata Caprese appetizer. King Buzzo liked 'em, too, as some of you knew. sounds good...... there was not really anything to understand about his last update, besides he found out more details about joe's sausage...........DAMMIT why do i have to be the one that says "joes sausage" in my post :angry:

[Huber]

H is a good song, but to me mediocre for a Tool song.

[Futuro]

holy chit!!!! blairs last update signifies King Buzzo was there......maybe they will take some influences off the melvins for this next record, and make a new genre "CREEPY METAL"

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I started learning H. yesterday, but then I started writing my own song, but it turns out instead of writing something of my own, I was learning Cold and Ugly. :upset:

creativity minus minus

[Mr Herb]

How come? I think the bass work is pretty good and the drums are just near orgasmic in the part were it slows downs and its all just electronic **** and then the crescendo is great.

reffering to H

[Huber]

holy chit!!!! blairs last update signifies King Buzzo was there......maybe they will take some influences off the melvins for this next record, and make a new genre "CREEPY METAL"


I was thinking he'd have a guest appearance on the album.

Or he just likes to eat sausage with Tool.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Or maybe Maynard's coming out of the closet, and King Buzzo is his life partner, hence the whole eating sausage deal.



:lol:

[Mr Benners]

holy chit!!!! blairs last update signifies King Buzzo was there......maybe they will take some influences off the melvins for this next record, and make a new genre "CREEPY METAL"

It wouldn't be impossible I guess, after all Maynard has worked with the Melvins so maybe it's time they return the favour?

EDIT: Somewhat beaten there...

[Futuro]

Or he just likes to eat sausage with Tool. well he is a fat ***, im the first to throw out (for various reasons i have learned) this album is being recorded in canada.

[Matter]

H is a good song, but to me mediocre for a Tool song.

I"ll have to disagree...from how soft and chill the verses are to the build up to the chorus and the breakdown...let alone the depth and emotion in the lyrics...man thats TooL at thier best.

Mediocre is Jimmy, Hooker, and those songs that dont really do anything different, or have any memorable moment. There are some, but naming them is just asking for people to disprove me

Indeed. Its the best of aenima along with aenema and thrid eye





Ye jimmy sucks but Hooker is slightly better, it has a purpose really while jimmy is just wankery to me

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I think that of all of Tool's songs from Ænima and Lateralus, Jimmy is my least favorite. I'd rather listen to Intermission. :lol:

[Mr Herb]

intermission>>>>>jimmy

[Kage]

I love Jimmy. In fact, I think it's my second favorite Aenima song, right behind Thrid Eye.

[Sleeper]

Jimmy is my favorite lyrical song by Tool.

[clearvision]

H. = bad memories...

But it's a good song, there is a great bit at the end

'well i am too connected to you, slip away fade away'

basically it's the chorus but maynard kinda goes up when he says fade away and it creates some quality tension...

Also the bit before the solo when you hear the echoey 'well i don't mind'

I also think this is one of the best examples of the band supporting maynard, the way the drums emphasise certain words and adams work just keeps the song moving...

[Mr Herb]

and justin builds it all up at the same time. . .its orgasmic, probably the only tool song ive listned to more times than the patient

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I think H. has a cool solo. That hammering section is sweet.

Oh, and Hooker has probably the grooviest bassline of all Tool songs. Not the best, but that song just has this awesome "**** off, bitch" feeling to it, and that's why I like it. :-D

[Kage]

H also has some of my favorite Tool lyrics. The whole build up to the "I DON'T MIND" section is amazing, followed by a great instrumental breakdown.

[Esoteric_Creator]

Hi fellow Toologists!

Man, what have I missed?

And at random note, I truly think Reflection from the Lateralus album is one of the top for TOOL. Give or take it doesn't show everything the band can do, but there's a good reason behind it all.

My first TOOL album was Lateralus and the first song that really hit me was Reflections. It came at a bad time in my life and it helped.

On top of the fact of having a freakin' awesome tribe beat to it.

Ah, and Pu**** just struck me whenever I first heard it. Lyrics are so powerful.

What's this about Joe's Sausage? lol

~daniel

[Kage]

I don't understand why Jimmy gets such a bashing here. I love the whole mood of the song, and when the drums and bass crash in with the intro guitar riff, it really does it for me. The whole song just builds up to be huge, and the lyrics are great.

[Mr Herb]

I think jimmy tries to copy h. Hard intro then goes soft, some of the parts on the song annoy me, dunno why.

The bass is probably my least favorite nuance of Jimmy. The break between the guitar intro and when the bass and drums come in is a huge let down. You're expecting this huge burst of noise, but it's this dissonant "bloink."

:-/

L Ron fought against the armies of Sauron, under the shadow of Mount Dianetics. He thought this would be the last he heard of the Lord of the Dance, but it was not to be so. A Young Hobbit, Frodo, came to L Ron with Sauron's rainbow colored ring. Reluctantly, L Ron helps Frodo become the new "Lord of the Dance" by whisking him away to a computer generated simulation of the late 20th century. L Ron(calling himself "Smith"), fights Keanu Reeves, and returns with Frodo to Riverdance, and tells Frodo he must find Mt. Dianetics, and cast the ring in.

He is perhaps most famous for the speech he gives Frodo: "It is purpose that drives us. It is purpose that rules us all. It is purpose that finds us. It is purpose that brings us all, and in the darkness binds us."

L Ron then married Old Mother Hubbard, and the two co-authored a book, 'Dianetics', a scientific work about L Ron's studies of Mt. Dianetics. Old Mother Hubbard released another book of the same title about an aerobics program based around L Ron's physical exhertions in his studies of the volcano.

L Ron also had a daughter named AirWick, who went on to help Ben Affleck save Middle-Earth from a giant asteroid.

wtf@that

My favorite part is the name of his daughter.

Wish you had warned me that it had panning on it. Headphone wearer here now has a shifting feel between his ears

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Marshall- I'm still amazed by those MIDI's you sent me. :-D

[Futuro]

oh sorry, ya i made it of my favorite crimson songs, and i wear head phones also, thats why i did it :)

@ jake thanks :cool:

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

I'm going to be cracking up about this for the next 20 minutes or so:

What did you use for that, it was pretty cool?

[TerryThorne]

Even though we discussed the hell out of this subject, I just wanted to mention that fact that the song reflection is 11:07 long. and that reflected is 7: 11, the date all the info was released

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Sliptallica- He uses Guitar Pro 4. I got a crack of it from Soulseek, but it phayled when I tried to install. My computer is gay. It won't even let me install AIM. :confused:

[Rothmans]

Also another thing towards 7; 11 is the disasters that have just happend 7/7 and 9/11.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Marshall-Oh, ok. :shrug:

You know what's wierd? You all know MXican/6FR, right? Well, his brother was born on 9/11, and his mom was born on 7/7. Unrelated, I know, but still cool. :-D

[Futuro]

Marshall-Oh, ok. :shrug:
you didnt like the crimson file :upset: spent like 10 whole minuets on it..... :)

Completely unrelated (to Tool), but I thought this was disturbingly ironic and worth sharing. I went to DC yesterday with my dad, and the exact time when we left the metro system and walked out onto the mall, it was 9:11. And then when I got my lunch later on the exact total came to $9.11. I thought my mom was going to cry when I told her over the phone. :lol:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I'll listen to it once I"m finished uploading my 5k post song. :-D

id like to see the Oklahoma show as well if someone wouldnt mind uploading it, im sure its already been done before in this thread though.

Pls upload the 2nd part today! lol. dont matter. you rock dude

[Syncratic]

Hey, guys...anything with the new album happen today? I couldn't get online all day.

[Mr Herb]

Not really, we praised H. and the ok show is gonna be uploaded again, thats about it I think



Edit: yes there is something! chek out toolband and see blairs latest wacky entry, it has to do with sausages and it involes Buzzo from the melvins, it is assumed that maybe hell be appearing in the next tool album.

[ThePatient]

We'll just have to wait and see which part Mr. George Washington thinks I should upload first.

Oh yeah, I missed out on all that H loving, for some reason. That actually is my favorite song by them, and one of my favorite basslines, especially to play.

[Mr Herb]

Ye the bassline during the quiet part and then the crescendo is just pure greatness.

I have a live vid of H. Ill upload it one of this days. The crowd sings along during the "I dont mind" part

[ThePatient]

I think I uploaded that too when I did the OK video, but I think no one noticed. :p

[Mr Herb]

Dont up loaded again! I wanna have something to show off for my 1000 post :)

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Woo 5,000th post! :confetti:

You all better download that song. It took me an hour and a half to upload, and it's only 4 mbs. :angry:

Wait. 5k HAPPY WHOOOOO!!!

Too bad I can't download the OK show. :upset:

[Mr Herb]

I have dsl. :) I downloaded it. Whats CoG?:(

[ThePatient]

Dont up loaded again! I wanna have something to show off for my 1000 post :)
Ha, I wasn't going to.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Oh, the song is Cog-My Enemy. :lol:

I got all caught up in the moment, i forgot to say what it was. They're an Australian progressive rock band. Very good stuff, similair to Tool. If you like that track, I suggest you look into them further, because a lot of their stuff is more progressive, as My Enemy is the shortest song on there.(Also the smallest, which is why I chose it)

[ThePatient]

Ooooooooo, I like it. What is their best album?

[Syncratic]

As do I...I'll listen later. I heard similar things about Porcupine Tree....and I liked what I heard, so I'm excited.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

The New Normal. One of the best debut albums I have ever heard. Perhaps second only to Rage Against the Machine's self titled release.

[Expresso]

Hey great news, I finished Stinkfist (at least until I get back from vacation and have another go). I'm (poorly) mixing it right now, and i'ma upload it tonight.

[Mr Herb]

tristar was supposed to do drums for the package lat night but hes gone missing apparently

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Expresso- Sweet, man. Can't wait to hear it.

Mr. Herb- Don't worry. It's happened like 10 times to us. :p

MIDI file of something I made in powertab (http://s28.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0UNSN75N5Q3R52D4F1ZD9BSWOF)

[Mr Herb]

lol, ye I still owe you stinkfist bass. I ve had trouble learning it plus right now my bass is at another house. . so erm. . itll take a while sorry :lol:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Once you get that done, we'll have the insturmentals finished. Whoo! :p

[Mr Herb]

Am telling you itll take a while :lol: but itll be donee

[Expresso]

Jake - There's something you ought to know...

/pauses before breaking horrible news

I recorded it to the CD track of Stinkfist, so it is possible that the current guitar track doens't line up. There were a couple problems, first, I couldn't get the other track loud enough in my player, and second, there was no bass on that track. Therefore, I recorded it to the CD.

EDIT: Do you want me to send you the MP3 so you can put it on the Soundclick? give me your AIM

The new one :p.

[Darkness]

I just saw this on Toolband, any idea what it meens? •••-••--•-- (and in your guys little avatar message things..)

[Syncratic]

There was a theory that it stood for the new album's release date, you'd have to ask magicaltroll about that. It was a cool theory.

As for putting it in our user titles, it represents our unity as Tool fans.

Also, me, AJIG, and a few others came up with Progressive (Prog) Rap.

[Darkness]

Whats prog rap have to do with anything?

And where can I see this theory?? Was it posted in the thread?

[Kurrpt]

SOOOoooo

whens the album coming out ?

[Phobophile]

looks like morse code for something.I pick up the letters VFM

[Adam Jones is GOD]

That was seperate, but it spawned from wondering about the new material.

[Syncratic]

Whats prog rap have to do with anything?

And where can I see this theory?? Was it posted in the thread?

It's AJIG's usertitle. How we came up with it? AJIG couldn't wait for the 'old school hip-hop feel of the new album', and in turn came up with Prog Rap.

The theory's in here, posted a while back, around page 500 I think.

[Syncratic]

That was seperate, but it spawned from wondering about the new material.

Yeah...he's right too, but we did kick around the notion of a hip-hop Tool album.

[Darkness]

I'll have to go looking for it...

i am watching tool - aneima live in montral, and mynard is dancing like a gay in thight undies .. r they always like that live and painted?

Don't call him gay, asshat.

MJK sucks.

With Teeth sucks. That's for **** sure.

[Huber]

With Teeth was meh, okay...

I was reading the Meshuggah boards, and it had a big thing on DC at Drumfest. They were saying he was being an ******* because legally he couldn't be taped, and he didn't answer any Tool questions. He played cover tunes with Volto, and did what this guy called a "monkey" solo or whatever.

Seems reasonable to me, after all this secret keeping just letting people freely ask questions at a drum clinic would be kind of stupid. And, I wouldn't mind seeing Volto at all.

[sweetbass]

I think tool sucks...... ;) (OMG!!!!!!! im Faith+1)

im not a real big DEP fan but i like the few songs ive heard from them and theyre great live.

[Trintar_VIII]

Okay, I've been doing the recording for The Package, and it's not working too nicely. I need to tweak the settings for the mic and it should be good then. If anyone knows of a good place to put it (I only have one mic), suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.

try audioclick and yousendit, theyre both free. pick wichever you prefer.

If anyone knows of a good place to put it (I only have one mic), suggestions would be helpful. Thanks. too many variables to have one "sweet spot" with only one mic, like i have a heavy foot, so i can put more attention on my cymbals and toms, and my bass will still get heard. depending on how you play will vary the sound, so just expirement.

[Huber]

When you're done uploading and sending, a page will come up with a link, and it leads to the download. post that link wherever you want and people can use it.

[Trintar_VIII]

Yeah, the mic picks up too much. It will get really scratchy, especially when I'm using an open high hat. I dunno, I'll play around with it tomorrow and try to get the best results I can, so hopefully I'll have it up for listening in the next couple of days.

That said, Maynard, Adam and Justin(cant say the same for Danny) have all tried to conciounciously get off their drugs and try get a natural high. They stated this right after Ænima, that said they created Lateralus, a masterpiece, sober-ish. Personally i dont consider alcohol to be too much of a bad drug....we all know Maynards wine-fetish

I know **** all, but I read something about this one and someone mentioned the solution is to wrap a stocking stretched around a coat hanger over the mic. Or am i thinking of something totally different.

Are you serious?

[mudvayne420]

hey guys i was wondering if any of you have tried The Lateralus,Aenima,Undertow codes

[Huber]

The Lateralus one was tried, and everything except the begining sounded forced. It isn't anything to go crazy about. It's cool, but it didn't make some whole new complete thing.

[mudvayne420]

i don't know it sounded cool to me, just with what i've heard. but i found out from this website aiden.vzz.net it shows what to do basically for Aenima and undertow too.

[Futuro]

ya we know

oh by the way, my feet suck so "part of me" came out.....blah......i wish my feet were more accurate and speedy....aenima also involves 16th note triplets, which are gonna be a beast to pull off for me, (if there was a way to hit the bass drums with my hands i would have tried it) :)

[the_Leperakorn]

Why wouldn't I be serious? I've read it in interviews. but the reason i said "cant say the same for danny" is because everyone knows that guy still enjoys his DMT. Maynard hasnt dropped acid or smoked weed in god knows how long, same with Adam. they all said they are introduced to that level of thinking and try to rereach that level without the use of the drug and its all about using your 3rd eye.

If you get the drum track for aenima recorded, will you be ok about entering it in the July Cover competition?...it would be a collaboration, all that would be needed is a bass part, I should be able to get the vocals done, and I already have the guitar..
