Tool

[Knifeboy]

aguy at my school was expelled for growing weed in his locker. He had a heater, lamp, and fertilizer in there. It was pretty obvious seeing how there was light constantly coming out of his locker. Let alone the smell.


.. Hahaha.. That's the best story I've heard in a long time

[Futuro]

Man, at my school, so many people get booted for carrying weapons, it's insane.
and they all come to my school :thumb:

we have all the kids that were expelled at my school (including me, but thats because i just never showed at my first high school ) in out cunstruction class some kid took a **** in a non operational toilet, and left it in the class room overnight, we all had to get tested for hepatitis before we could return, the school food was ex-laxed, and a picnic bench was turned on top of a janitors carolla, not much damage, but still stupid.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Ah, yes. The alternative school. We have one that's called Pride Highschool. :p

@below-16, like most of us.

[Mr Herb]

On my forms and stuff I have to fill out other because I was born in Lithuania but moved here. I don't know it's weird, but yeah I look Caucasian.

Milwaukee is nothing like the rest of Wisconsin, believe me. It's like a mini-New York but poorer.

Hmm SOunds like an interesting life. honestly lol, everyones 16 here :p

Would anyone here like to listen to some stuff from isis panopticon?

[3074326]

The guitars for the Lateralus cover will be done tomorrow.

I have everything other than the leads, and it's sounding pretty damn good. :p

[ThePatient]

Hmm SOunds like an interesting life. honestly lol, everyones 16 here :p

Would anyone here like to listen to some stuff from isis panopticon?
/is almost 18

I'll teach you guys the ways of the world after I read my newspaper and drink my Metamucil orange juice.

Panopticon is such a good cd. I'd put it on, but I'm off to bed.

[Mr Herb]

/is almost 18

I'll teach you guys the ways of the world after I read my newspaper and drink my Metamucil orange juice.
.

:lol::lol:

The world is really screwed up you know

[3074326]

I'm 18, but I don't feel any different. I thought I'd feel like I had more freedom, but I just realized how much freedom I had before 18..

It was a letdown.

[Mr Herb]

I'm 18, but I don't feel any different. I thought I'd feel like I had more freedom, but I just realized how much freedom I had before 18..

It was a letdown.
'

I wish i could be 12 o 13 sometimes again.

But meh now I have to take all those sat and pre sat and college board tests and make out my mind about what I want to do for the rest of my life. I wish I could be in a succesful rock band, playing the bass and just. . .live but meh guess Ill study some **** like dad wants me too

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

If only you had genitals, MC. If only...:upset:

Anyways, do you guys remember that whole MINOtour=GenISIS thing on Toolband? What ever happened with that. :confused:

[Mr Herb]

I dont remeber that,who dsnt have genitals?!?!?!

[One Groovin Clown]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Please let it be true

Completely true. The cops came and searched every locker becasue of him. Man i was lucky i got to go home early.

[Syncratic]

Anyways, do you guys remember that whole MINOtour=GenISIS thing on Toolband? What ever happened with that.

Vaugely, but yeah.

Don't think it ever went anywhere. But, if we can pull a release date out of random Morse Code, we could probably decipher this thing.

[Mr Herb]

wait, didnt we decide that that statement could mean Isis was gonna tour with tool?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Yes, a MINItaur, but nothing ever became of it.

[Mr Herb]

maybe it means a minitour with Isis. meh

[3074326]

I dont remeber that,who dsnt have genitals?!?!?!

Hahaha, I don't (do).

I've listened to Lateralus (song) about eight times in a row. It blows me away.

[Huber]

Hahaha, I don't (do).

I've listened to Lateralus (song) about eight times in a row. It blows me away.

That song is becoming my favorite song of all time.

[Syncratic]

'Reflection' to me is the most beautiful and perfect song ever written.

I love falling to sleep to in, it puts me in a semi-concious(sp?) trance.

[One Groovin Clown]

Third-eye is my sing of choice. Just the way it flows. So... amazing.

[Mr Herb]

The lateralus intro is one of the sweetest things ever and the solo bathed with tons of wah. How can one not love that?


Relfection plus triad. . . wow

[Syncratic]

Amazing...but Reflection.....just gets to my spiritual core and I love it.

[SlapnPop]

My favourite Tool song at the moment is H. The lyrics get me every time

[Dude3]

At the moment, I think Pushit is my favorite.

[Mr Herb]

My favourite Tool song at the moment is H. The lyrics get me every time


Bass plus lyrics. . .very emo moment(in a good way). My bro hooked to that song just cause of the lyrics. :thumb:

[Syncratic]

Pu**** is such a beautiful song, I love it. My favorite off of Ænima.

[Matter]

Was driving in my car alone today and prison sex came on my Mp3 player...that ending...''you look so precious now"....ohhh still gives me shivers even after all these years...

[Mr Herb]

Dam i havnt heard that song in a while *puts prison sex*

Too bad my copie of undertow only works till bottom

[Syncratic]

I got a neg rep for double posting in this thread.

Oh, well...I won't do it again.

[Mr Herb]

I got a neg rep for double posting in this thread.

Oh, well...I won't do it again.


:confused:

Jake used to report me all the time for double posting and every thing else i made wrong :p

[Dude3]

I have negative 27 rep, because some loser got pissed when I said "Where the Red Fern Grows" is a crappy book. Now that is gay.

[Mr Herb]

ah I see waht your talking about. I have 0 rep points increadibly, i should have -something :)

[SonorKen]

ah I see waht your talking about. I have 0 rep points increadibly, i should have -something :)
You have rep now!





-rep counts too doesnt it?

[Syncratic]

Hey, Ken....so, to be back on topic, what Tool song makes you shudder?

[One Groovin Clown]

Hey, Ken....so, to be back on topic, what Tool song makes you shudder?
shudder as in disgust? :confused: (hopefully not)

or as in jsut the overall feeling that you get.

[Mr Herb]

awesome really. thx.


Schism and patient vocals raise the hairs in the back of my neck

[SonorKen]

hmmm mine changes depending on my mood. Im in a big kick on "You Lied" right now. I love to crank it up in the PA, with the crowd noise and just wail on my drums to it.

[Syncratic]

Shudder as in excitement.

I could've sworn one time while listening to Parabola at night, the nerves in my back were moshing.....felt euphoric.

[SonorKen]

This is the kind of music we strive to write in Crutch. Stuff that moves people. The greatest compliment ever would be to see some people discussing how the music I make causes them to get goose bumps or causes the hair on the back of their neck to stand up.

One thing that is really cool with Crutch is some of the lyrics I have written mean totally different things to whomever reads it. I have yet to have anyone tell me what the song means when they read the lyrics and this is what I strive to do. Write something that someone can get in touch with on a personal level.

[Mr Herb]

Aliveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee I! that part would make something like happen to me

[One Groovin Clown]

Lateralus, Aenima, or Third eye. Those 3 songs do wonder for me. These songs, Third eye especially, will set me into kind of a trance.


Does any one else do this? Just close their eyes and absorb their music. I did this today during thrid eye. It scared the hell out of me. About 11 mintes in my toes to my lower ribs went tense, and my entire body was shivering. During this i saw an eye, that opened up and stared at me, funny how i was listening to third eye eh? But i can still vividly remember the eye. Man i must sound like a lunatic here :p All of this happened untill i opened my eyes. Then i was calm, relaxed and completely warm, (it was a very hot day).

I'm interested..where can I see some of your lyrics?

[SonorKen]

The thing alot of you guys are not picking up on is this. As powerful as their music is, the things they are writing about are truly phenominal. Learning how to Mantra, move your Star Tetrahedrons, create a Merkaba, transend. This is what really got me into Tool. I was researching Metaphysics and BAM, I hear them singing about it. I connected with them on a musical and spiritual level.

When people come to Crutch's studio one of the first things they do is usually check out the book collection, it is a collection I study and study and have learned mass amounts of information from.

[Mr Herb]

Ye Ken were are your lyrics?

[SonorKen]

I'm interested..where can I see some of your lyrics?

Sec, I'll post some up.

im about to be pissed at tool right now, so if anybody doesnt want to hear bad stuff, then cover your eyes.

Reasons why Tool Sucks Balls.
1. All those goddanm fillertracks WTF?!?!?! they suck, they shouldnt do those.
2. well not much to put here.

any way back too teh topic :p

lateralus makes me poop every time i hear it ;)
the sober intro makes we want to shoot adam jones in da head ;) (dam feedback)
but for chiilllllls i would have to say either Pu**** or H.

[One Groovin Clown]

normally i lvoe that feeling of seperation that i get when i trance into Tool. But this one time was scary. I don't know how to explain it. The eye on its side with colourless skin opening up showing a gree/purple eye. For some reason it freaked me out, let alone my body tensing up. Maybe this is a start to waht tool has let us know, about opening our third eye. Maybe this is the start of me opening it up. Or maybe i'm jsut speaking gibberish, take it any way you want.

[Mr Herb]

<verse1>
Tragedy seems to follow me
The darkness is always near
Consuming me while awaiting to free the vine
Silent witness to the shock, horror, and pain
Chaotic images dance within, while I am both dead and awake at once
Emotions, only visible to me, assimilate into my body becoming a burden I cannot relieve

<chorus 1>
Why do you try to stop this?
Why do you want to delay the inevitable?
Why do you ****ing try?
Why do you ****ing try?
Sit down and realize this is beyond you.
For once come to bear that your not the savior you once thought.


<verse 2>
I watch as your precious’ journey is revealed
The vine has ruptured
The scab begins to form
Total darkness, nothing else
The metamorphosis begins
The Aura surrounds me, baths me, absorbs itself into me
I am here, the only one.

<chorus 2>
Why do you try to stop this?
Why do you want to delay the inevitable?
Why do you ****ing try?
Why do you ****ing try?
Sit down and realize this is beyond you.
For once come to bear that your not the savior you once thought.


<verse 3>
Levitation departs you from your familiar surroundings
They violently tear at the scab
Trying to prolong the inevitable for their own temporary comfort
Faces, screaming emotions, contorted with pain are silent now
<bridge>
I am here
In the darkness
Living within this Sea of Judgment
Neither living nor dead for eternity
Am I here as your savior?
How can you mean anything to me?
Am I the one to lead you to your path?


The song continues but I have to keep the ending of the song a secret publicly. Now, from this you should be able to get an idea of what I wrote this song about. Lets see how ya do!

Disposition/Reflection/Triad, Jimmy, The Patient, and The Grudge do some crazy things to me.

I can't explain the feeling, but I feel like a different person.

Those are not filler tracks man, they are spiritual tracks and possibly the most powerful music on the recordings. These are the tracks that the guys in Tool use to put their emotion into the music.

nice lyrics ken, sound tool influenced.

[Syncratic]

Yeah, I noticed that too.....got a name yet? I'm good at naming my own songs, they just tend to sound immature a week after I write them.

[Huber]

I tried writing lyrics once, it was a mess.

[Dude3]

Those are great lyrics Ken. I need to attempt writing lyrics some time. I have a feeling I can, but I also thought I could sing. A little playing around with Cakewalk proved me wrong.

-My toilet just overflowed. My parents bedroom is soaked, and I'm not kidding. Its 2:14am. I think I'm going to bed.

You wrote the lyrics before the music? I always do that afterwards.

[Syncratic]

I suck at instruments (well, I suck at guitar chord changes and I have small hands) but I'm a good writer, so I stick to lyrics.

[SlapnPop]

Was driving in my car alone today and prison sex came on my Mp3 player...that ending...''you look so precious now"....ohhh still gives me shivers even after all these years...



The part in H where Maynard sings " Snake behind me hisses, what my damage could have been. My blood before me begs me, open up my heart again" gives me the shivers every time i listen to it

[Syncratic]

I jsut got the PS2 demo disk with it on it.

[SonorKen]

You wrote the lyrics before the music? I always do that afterwards.
We write a little different than most. Sometime one of us will have a riff idea and well build on it. What we usually do is talk about what we want the song to be about and describe the emotions involved with it. Then well chart these emotions and start putting them to music.

Example. Say your writing about someone getting pissed off.

You would think of all the emotions involved with it. You have the feeling of normalcy before the event happens so this is where the song starts. You then have the act of what it is that pisses you off, that goes into the realization of what happened. You now have the reaction, which can be violent or aggressive. After this you have regret for what you did (if your regretful) or you have an elation of emotion from being happy by how you responded.

It all depends on how you want the song to flow and what you are writing about. We will chart out the above process and make these emotions come out through our instruments. So, you would have normalcy, suprise, violence or aggression, regret or elation, and however you want to end the song.

Lyrics are written for 2 purposes. We select the wording in ways to compliment the song with the harmonics of the words. THe 2nd edge of the lyrics is to give some clues as to what the song is about.

It's a long process but in the end I think people will really be able to connect with the music.

[clearvision]

Do we get to hear crutch yet ken?

[Moses]

Here's some lyrics I've been working on last night.



Moonlight Shining Past The Pitch Black Diamond

Softly
Like a seeping stream
The moonlight
Dances by the
Opaque and black
Looking back to the ignorance
Missing out on
Such a gem

Calumny was predicted
They don’t see you as the true paragon
Acquaintances from past times
They misread the signs from the start.

[Rothmans]

My bet is no.

[Syncratic]

What does it mean?

[Mr Herb]

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=calumny

there you go

[Moses]

Good lyrics.

What is that word? Does it exist?
It means someone purposely hurting someone or somthing's reputation dishonestly. Look it up if you want a better explanation.

[Syncratic]

Okay, then.

Great lyrics anyways! :thumb:

[Moses]

Thanks.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

It means someone purposely hurting someone or somthing's reputation dishonestly. Look it up if you want a better explanation.

And ironically, a term used in catholic matters. So good link to tool :thumb:

:confused: explain thattt

Schism, another term that is used in religious terms, mostly catholic/protestant though.

Calumny is another example of a word that is used by the catholic faith. Dont ask em what the special significance is though

[Mr Herb]

I see. Schism pertains ti the grt separation between the orthodox church and the chatolic church.

fun stuff

I actually wasn't thinking of that when I wrote it but that's pretty interesting.

[Dude3]

Hi guys.

I tried doing an Astral Projection last night. Too bad I failed. I was listening to Lateralus, and right when the "Spiral Out...Keep....Going" started, I started getting that feeling of Sleep Paralysis. I had it in my hands and lower legs. I felt really light, and wasn't worrying about anything. I need to keep trying. Its a good sort of meditation, and maybe one day I'll be able to have some OBE.


Don't you find it weird that when you try to concentrate and 'project', you focus around your Third Eye?

[SonorKen]

I posted up some Crutch recordings a while ago, we have some new stuff recorded. Lemme get it mastered this evening and I'll post up some. BTW, the guy that sings in Crutch, whom everyone says sounds like Maynard, is starting to post some on the forum.

[Moses]

I'd really like to hear them.

[Rothmans]

I'd really like to hear them.


We'll see if we get to hear them I am curious to see what they sound like myself.

[SonorKen]

Alot of what I will post up is merely stuff in the process of being made, it is REALLY cool stuff. I have to run and buy some stuff for the beach, I'll be back later.

[BlindWriting]

Anyone heard of this guy named Criss Angel who levitates on the A&E channel? I've seen some of that crap, and it's weird. Almost... believable?

I've been gone for thirty pages. Nothing new?

[Mr Herb]

erm. There are strong indications there might be a realse on august 16th, posibly a dvd. Q magazine from Austrilia even has sort of an article about it but Blair aint said anything about it so its jsut rumors really

[Kage]

"[Tool's] new material sounds great....with twists like Lateralus but more immediate and punchy too, very dynamic"

[clearvision]

Oi where did you get that quote from...tell before i kills ya!

[Kage]

It's from an anonymous source, but I think it's someone who knows Danny Carey. I don't really know to be honest, I just stumbled across it somewhere.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Where did you get it from, Kage?

[BlindWriting]

You didn't need to actually hear their new material to know that that's what it's going to sound like. Danny Carey was quoted as saying, "it still has quirky tempo changes", i.e. little twists. And we already know it's heavier. So this could have come from anybody.

[clearvision]

Where did you get it from, Kage?

Hehe Jake takes over the interrogation.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Are you under the impression that it may be their best work yet?

[Syncratic]

Yeah...details, please, I want to know who said that.

[Huber]

Are you under the impression that it may be their best work yet?

It would be one of the greatest accomplishments in musical history to make Lateralus, an album considered the best of our time if not the actual best, and then make something even better.

Something does tell me however this album will be nothing short of amazing, though I'm trying not to be optimistic because no matter how good it is I'm going to have to listen to it multiple times to get into it. If I get my hopes up my first impression might be bad and I might dismiss it right away.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Man, if it's not better than Lateralus, these last few torturing months of waiting should would be worthless. :lol:

Well, maybe not worthless, but still, a letdown nonetheless.

[Huber]

I'd say hoping it's better than Lateralus is keeping hopes way to high. All bands have their peak, and that was most likely Tool's. Doesn't mean they can't make phenomonal music still though.

[Syncratic]

I'm slightly optimistic. Tool have not disappointed in the past, and I'm just excited to be a fan right now.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Lateralus was actually a dissappointment to me, at first... surprisingly enough. I thought that Aenima was perfection and then I heard Schism and was VERY dissapointed. Schism is actually one of my favorite songs now. Maybe the new Tool album will have that same effect.

I hope they don't do the 5 epic song thing, though. While I enjoy Frances the Mute at times, I can't listen to it for too long. I need some contrast with shorter, more melodic songs.

[clearvision]

I rate aenima higher than lateralus, because aenima progresses through the album.

You have your really rocky song like stinkfist eulogy and H. then it moves through to really pregressive epics like Push!t and third eye. But you hardly notice the change, it flows so well.

Whereas lateralus seems to start heavy, then drift away. It then comes back and hits you with parabol/a and ticks before fading away with D/R/T

If that makes any sense.

I know it has been mentioned, but everyone should check out the following bands that sound kind of similair.

Oceansize - manchester based prog. Their debut 'Effloresce' is quite frankly great. I hits you on first listen, but still retains replay value. Vocals are intersting and musicianship is great. The band make a very dreamy sound, without drifting into meaningless prog, they keep their songs as songs, unlike some bands take floyd for example...

Cog - Australian based rock/prog. Their Just visiting EP's are available on their sit. http://www.cog.com.au (i think), and their album, released this year, titled 'the new normal' is hot stuff too. Cog are heavier than oceansize and more 'to the point' if you will. However they are slightly different from your normal listenings. Again vocals are top stuff, guitar work is pretty riff based and reminds me alot of jones' work.

I will do uploads if required, though not tonight :)

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

The thing that sucked about FtM was the fact that about 1/4 of it wasn't actually music, so I would sit there through the 70 minutes, and be bored out of my mind by the end because most of it wasn't even that stimulating. :-/

http://www.cog.com.au

Fix'd the link. :) Cog is an amazing band. If you want to download any of their songs go to that site, then click on music, then scroll down to Just Visiting, that's where the mp3s lie. :-D I just review their album yesterday on Sputnik, too.

Yeah, I know what you mean...yet somehow, I like it better than De-Loused....Why? I don't know!

[Huber]

The Lateralus/Ænima debate will always be there, but everyone can agree they are both amazing albums, and will be hard for Tool to top either of them with the next album.

/start new statement

After hearing what King Buzzo (I'm pretty sure it was him?) in No Quarter, I think it'd be neat to have him appear again.

[clearvision]

I just review their album yesterday on Sputnik, too.

Yeah iw as planning to do it. Luckily i didn't *shakes fist*

Meh i'm calling dibs on Bjorks medulla, debut and vespertine i think. Plus i might do the Kyuss album i just got, 'welcome to sky valley', after it sinks in.

FtM and DitC serve different purposes to me. DitC for a rocky feel, uptempo, that i will give my attention to. FtM for reading or sleeping or other stuff :naughty:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

After hearing what King Buzzo (I'm pretty sure it was him?) in No Quarter, I think it'd be neat to have him appear again.

I think it's a message that they are for sure doing another CD/DVD, since he did appear on the last one. Remember, noone has even confirmed that there is such a thing in existence. I'm correct on this, right? Or am I on drugs?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Its about time Tool had a guest musician in again. There's a pretty high standard to live up to.

Personally, Mikel from Opeth on a vocal harmony would own. And there are loads of guitarists who would do a great guest apperance (a Morello/Jones one -off reunion, playing Noiseland Arcade stuff :) )

Tom and Mikeal would be my first picks to. If Mike and Maynard harmonize right and stuff, it could be brillant, as well as an effect fest from Tom and Adam... as long as theres no really flashy stuff from Tom...

[clearvision]

Maynard and Patton duet?

Maynard and Bjork/Tori Amos?

Morello for guitar would be cool, as long as tool make him play something that sounds good, not like some of the sh!t he created for the new audioslave.

I don't know if the Noiseland Arcade stuff would be any good...

[Huber]

I'm still crossing my fingers for that Opeth and Tool tour. I'd love to see Isis, but Opeth and Tool would be great.

The only other greater possibility would be to have another tour with Meshuggah (for me anyways).

Guitars for Lateralus are done. :)

I wouldn't call Danny a metal drummer. He's too diverse. He can definetly play metal, but I wouldn't say he could match up to Haake in that realm of drumming.

Gene Hoglan is considered along with others (Dave Lombardo for example) others to be the best metal drummer ever.

I wouldn't call Haake a metal drummer. His drumming is basically extremely technical jazz playing(sans double bass, of course).

Chris-YSI w00t!

MJK- First off, I feel funny talk to MJK. :lol: Second of all, get Chaosphere and/or "I." Both are amazing. I is perhaps the single most amazing metal song that has ever graced my lobes.

I don't think tool will do a double tour NiN/Qotsa, Slipknot/Slayer, Weezer/Foo's, SOAD/TMV style. 'Specially not in the UK.

I think the support act will be small again, Isis is an option, definateley.

Where dya think they will play in the UK? I want it to be smallish (Brixton/Hammersmith) but i still want to be able to get tickets. I don't think tool would fill/suit a big arena in the UK (NEC, Wembley, Earls Court). I know they have played both brixton and the hammersmith in the past...

I live in America, but what I've heard about Kerrang has led me to believe that it sucks.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Yeah, kerrang sucks for anything informative.

However, Rock City rules. And i've been to a few gig venues

[clearvision]

Hmm, that would be a mission to get to. However i would probably drive because i wouldn't drink that night...(woah me driving, what a prospect)

It'll be in london though, do they normally only play 1 show?

Lol @ Kerrang...example

Week 1 - 'Good Charlotte pop-punk kings that have your feet tapping to music.'
Week 2 - 'Good Charlotte, the epitamy of bad rock music'
Week 3 - 'Good Charlotte's debut, one of the best CD's this year
Week 4 - 'Good Charlotte - This years music catastophe'

Sometimes they even change their opinions in the same issue, it's great.

This year they have an obsession with MCR/The Used. Like most girls that listen to semi decent music (with the exception of the two pre-mentioned bands).

Yeah..Kerrang sucks, I get my news from Riva's monday mayhem, though i could probably do better looking on blabbermouth, and other places not associated with roadrunner :rolleyes:
