Tool

[clearvision]

Clear's right. People quote it enough when there isn't any Tool news.

We had a discussion on it a while back, I drafted up something, but we didn't really go further with it.

*thread

We're not a moron centre (yet)


i dont get this...but ill say hello none the less :lol:

[Kurrpt]

agreed, when the new album comes out (eventually) ima be whoring the hell outta this place :lol:

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Hmm when the new album comes out this place is gonna be hell.

We're gonna need to change the first post...

"I suck for quoting this post"

Good edit to put in.

I think we may need to jmp ship for a whi,e during that time, and post in the 'Gay Rodeo' thread. :shifty:

[Huber]

I don't think it'll be that bad. This thread does get the best new comers.

[Kurrpt]

hey fellas, check out my new axe

[Huber]

Looks nice.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Thats the crappier version of mine. mine has a better fret board and a pointless Floyd Rose.

But it plays nice, so you should be happy with it

[clearvision]

Hows the bass going Ben?

Ready to record us some stinkfist + some aenima :)

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Heh, need a bass amp first. Which I can hopefully 'borrow' off my friends brother, since he never uses that anymore.

Stinkfist is odd, I was hoping it would follow closely to the guitar (but not a root note fest), yet it alternates all over the place. Im nailing all the basic songs first, work up some familiarity with the ol' lower octave machine

Im tr00 though and playing without a pick, it just seems easier with such large string gaps.

which model do you have?


i have a schecter C1 with a floyd rose. I think i dive bomb in one song right now hhaaha


im not really into those pups. Ill prolly replace them soon. How much you pay for yours?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Mines the DXMG. I got it for........hmmmm, I dont remember actually. It was prolly around the £300-£350 mark, btu since I payed monthly for ages, I lost track of the final price. I got it new though, so no massive bargins

All UK guitars are overpriced. But then again, all UK goods are

[TheSubtleArts]

well Ive missed about 50 pages in this thread after being gone for a week. any new tool news besides the Lateralus Vinyl stuff?

Short answer, no.

Long answer, nope, not a bean, only rumours, nothing confirmed or official.

But the vinyl deal is a bit different now. Check at toolband.com for more

Adam Jones does have a legit MySpace with a picture of the 'washboard' Blair spoke of a few months ago.

[Dr. Killgreedy]

[BlindWriting]

Anyone here getting the new Opeth album? I think I'm going to pick it up Monday, along with Hunter S. Thompson's book Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas.

[Darkness]

Its not out tell August 30th...

Oh and Ben, you won't be disappointed at all in September when you see them... they made my life yesterday.

[ATM]

It was leaked already.

[BlindWriting]

Its not out tell August 30th...
August?! Dammit. I was thinking July...

[Mr Herb]

I could the laterlaus verse without the right tuning for tomorrw, i gurrantee it sound good and it might help you moses. and the choprus too, i jsut have like 20 mins for playing every day :(

[Futuro]

do we have any covers done?

[Mr Herb]

i think 46 n 2 needs a couple of fixes on vocals but other than that is done

[Futuro]

my friend can do bass for lateralus, he is on here but rarely post's, when is deadline?

[Mr Herb]

dont know but get em to do it as quick as you can

[King]

You heard correctly.

I seriously cant wait any longer. August 30th and September 8th are two red letter days in my music calender so far.

Im awaiting their own tour to kick off though so I can get an idea of what set they'll play. They've stuck to the same one for the SOTU tour so far I notice

[clearvision]

Well, their new album doesn't match their earlier stuff, but i doubted it would.

What are Deliverence, Orchid and My arms, Your Hearse like?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Deliverance is pretty solid, but its the first album that had some tracks I tended to skip.

Orchid and MAYH are Opeth's early stuff btw (unless you meant your comparison to be with Morningrise), and i've not got the chance to hear either yet. Well, apart from Demon Of The Fall, which of course, owns.

NP : Disturbed - 1000 fists (new album)

I can't believe this and Opeth leaked so early. I want My Kanye west, and coheed and cambria. Befor emy holiday on the 11th :)

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I cant listen to Disturbed with laughing at their singer (David Drain man or whatever his name is). He makes the funniest nosies ever.

Its worrying with this Opeth leak. Im hoping the same wont happen with Tool, with everyone hearing it before its releaesed

[PeEpHoLe_10]

Hahah, i hope it happens. I want new Tool material as soon as possible.

Kanye West's album is due around the 20th of August and hasn't leaked yet. If he can keep it tight I'm sure tool can...The eMOTIVE leak was only a week wasn't it? maybe two...

This Opeth 5 weeks is mental, just like the Frances the mute one...

Dramian is a great vocalist, he has cut out his sh!t from the sickness. His monkey noises and his 'you mother-get up, you won't get down with the sickness' or whatever crazy lyrics he sings in that song.

I have plans to buy all tool albums in america...because I'm cheap and actually don't have the cd's as of yet :eek: scandal. And i will definateley buy the new one i think...

[PeEpHoLe_10]

That is if they ever release the f'in thing.

[clearvision]

Gotta wait it out, be patient.

[jensmatty]

Oh, bout that Radio City Music Hall video, I downloaded it off P2P, it's absolutely awesome, I'd buy the DVD.

Really? I heard at a couple other shows they played like Deliverance, The Drapery Falls and Demon Of the Fall... at the one I was at they play Deliverance, To Rid The Disease, The Grand Conjuration, then Demon.

Which tracks on Deliverance did you want to skip? I like every song on there, Wreath is so wicked.

[Knifeboy]

The new Opeth album is kicking my ***.. Right now, it's my favorite Opeth album by far

[Purple Floyd]

What album should I get now? I just bought Lateralus.

[Darkness]

Aenima, if you liked it that is.

[Moses]

Aenima.

[Mr Herb]

Ænima, its their best effort along with latarlaus. Did you like lateralus a hell lot?

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Aenima.

[Syncratic]

Ænima. Definately, that's how I got it (Lateralus-Ænima), you won't be dissapointed in the least! :thumb:

[Mr Herb]

:lol: the whole thread told em. At elast hell be really sure about wich to buy next.

[Darkness]

Watch him go get Opiate.. "oh! I read wrong!"

[Syncratic]

Watch him go get Opiate.. "oh! I read wrong!"

How is that even possible?

Opiate.....Ænima.

He'd probably do it, though.

[Mr Herb]

Then Lets make it clearer for him, get AENIMA, THE ONE WITH A BIG WHITE SPOT ON THE MIDDLE OF THE FRONT COVER. :)

[Darkness]

It was a joke man... ya know.. because everyone said Ænima..

[Mr Herb]

I know, that was a joke too. did not work apparenlty but meh :(

[Darkness]

People are to serious when it comes to Tool in this thread, I guess...

[Syncratic]

It was a joke man... ya know.. because everyone said Ænima..

I know, I was just playing along. :thumb:

Oh ok... unless you didn't just get it tell now and now your covering up! :p

Nah, I get the joke.

So, anybody hear anything about the new album?

[Mr Herb]

naw. latest toolband update is more lateralus vinyl mumbo jumbo

[Futuro]

:wave: im a sarcastic asshole :)

im hardly ever serious.....PUNK *** BITCH :evil:

also thats why my user title used to say TOOL SUCKS BALLS!!!!!!!

[Purple Floyd]

So Aenima it is...

I heard they covered the song No Quarter by Led Zeppelin? If this is true, what album is it on, if any?

[Syncratic]

I heard they covered the song No Quarter by Led Zeppelin? If this is true, what album is it on, if any?

Yes they do, and they do a **** good job, better than the original (and No Quarter is my favorite Zeppelin song).

It's on the CD portion of Salival.

[Purple Floyd]

CD Portion? Is it a DVD or something?

Yeah, it's definitely my favorite Zeppelin song too. So haunting...

[Futuro]

cd and DVD or vhs, i wouldnt call it better than the original, they each have a little something ;)

[Syncratic]

CD Portion? Is it a DVD or something?

Yeah, its a CD/DVD (some are CD/VHS) combination. They released it after Ænima and before Lateralus. The DVD has all of their videos from Opiate to Ænima, I believe.

[Futuro]

The DVD has all of their videos from Opiate to Ænima, I believe. correct-a-mundo :thumb: its definetly one of there better albums, salival score right behind aenima for me.

[Mr Herb]

salival is so ****ing hard to get. dam.

someone should upload it one if this days if it can be done

[Purple Floyd]

I requested in the YSI thread for No Quarter, if anyone has it that'd be great.

[Futuro]

salival is so ****ing hard to get. dam. should have got it when it first came out, it was SIMPLE to get back then.

[Syncratic]

I requested in the YSI thread for No Quarter, if anyone has it that'd be great.

I'll give it to you over AIM....what's your SN?

[Mr Herb]

lol, back then I was ****ing 12 and I had no idea tool existed, I was getting into linkin park. I heard my first tool song during the 04 summer. :lol:

[Purple Floyd]

Sorry, I don't have AIM anymore. If you want to email it, my email is Roman5150@gmail.com.

[Syncratic]

Hold on, I'll try to YSI it.

It's a 15 MB file, this might take a bit.

[Purple Floyd]

Thanks man, i'd rep you if I could.

I have a feeling i'm really going to get into this band, seeing as how I love 'deep' bands, like Floyd.

[Syncratic]

Thanks man, i'd rep you if I could.

Did you get it? It's in the YSI Thread.

If you did get it, did you listen to it yet?

[Purple Floyd]

Yep, I'm listening to it right now.

[Mr Herb]

You could also get tons of tool songs on lime wire or any cheap p2p file sharing program

[Syncratic]

How do you like it?

Is it as good, better, or worse than Zeppelin's version?

[Purple Floyd]

I like it better than Zepp's version so far. It's more mysterious and heavy.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

I like the Zeppelin version more.

[Syncratic]

I like them both, but I think Tool's version is better for the same reasons as Purple Floyd stated.

[Futuro]

I like the Zeppelin version more. same here, although i think the end of the tool version kicks led zepplins in the balls.

[Thunder Fingers]

you guys Are in lack of a bassist on "Lateralus"?

I might wanna help you out, seeing as my own "band"(the iron maiden bunch) are getting screwed by a missing drummer and bad recorrding gears...

[Mr Herb]

and bass for stinkfist to, do it if you want!

[Thunder Fingers]

i probaly can, but how are they recorded? in time with the CD versions? so i have something to record after...

and im not using a pick..;)

[Futuro]

CD is how i recorded drums

[Mr Herb]

pick less is alright. erm...lets wait till jake comes around and give you a link to the recordings allready made.

[clearvision]

Herb, the Kanye album hasn't leaked yet...i'm talking about 'late registration', the leaked versions are just demo tracks.

hxxp://s43.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3ULM3ITZ64TGP10UWWOMWV9UXN

This is the stinkfist to record to, i know it has bass and drums at the moment, but the bass and drums are in the same track so it can't be mixed properly. Also we have a proper durm track now, not a midi one. :)

If you could also record aenima i will be so pleased...play along with the aenima track by rob and joz found here :)

lateralus with real instruments is lateralus 2
i recorded drums directly from the CD

and the mod with a bunch of numbers recorded the guitar to the CD

....so play to the CD :p thanks for helping us out man :thumb:

[Thunder Fingers]

Ill have to learn them first :p but it have to be recorded by tomorrow i think, so ill guess ill have to go against my own integrity and use tabs :p

[Knifeboy]

Yeah. You shouldn't be too worried about the deadline though, there's noone else doing any real covers anyway

[Darkness]

Man I hope my local cd store stocks the Lateralus vinyl...

[Huber]

I want that special addition one. Hope it isn't an arm and a leg.

[Mr Herb]

On the local stores Ive cheked here none has anything from tool expected

[Syncratic]

I want that special addition one. Hope it isn't an arm and a leg.

Stinkfist and Lateralus Right?

[Mr Herb]

Right. And any other you wish to do, but those 2 are need of work! especially alteralus

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

same here, although i think the end of the tool version kicks led zepplins in the balls.

True, but the Zeppelin version has such a mystic and creepy sound to it. Plus, JPJ's little jazzy piano solo thing is cool and so is Page's solo. Both versions are awesome :thumb:

Congratulations, they are an amazing band! :thumb:

[Trintar_VIII]

Yeah, The Mars Volta is good stuff. I'm listening to No Quarter right now (never heard any of Salival before except Third Eye Live) and it's quite good.

[Shadius]

Deloused is hot when you get into their sound, I didn't think it was worth trying to get into FTM though, personally, and their EP isn't that great. Many will disagree with me though.

[BlindWriting]

OH and by the way

I just discovered The Mars Volta.

My life changed.
Yes!!

TMV absolutely rule. I loved Deloused, but Frances The Mute topped it and changed my life. It's my second favorite album, right behind Lateralus. Both of these albums really changed the way I look at, listen to, and create music.

[Futuro]

(if it sucks you guys can just tell me!) you play well :thumb: dont worry bout a thing, your recording quality sounds MUCH better than mine , what do you use to record with?

[Expresso]

you play well :thumb: dont worry bout a thing, your recording quality sounds MUCH better than mine , what do you use to record with?
I'm using 3 assorted vocal mics. Two are running through a mixer into a borrowed 8-track piece. The other (bass) is running directly to the 8-track. Then I adjusted sound levels and exported it to my PC upstairs. I loaded it up in Audacity, added bass boost and compression. It was the first time i've done this sort of thing. I think Audacity really boosted the quality, the 3 mic's alone didn't do anything justice. It was flat.

'Neways, i got myself Deloused and FTM from a friend. I'm not even halfway through Deloused and I'm in love.

[Knifeboy]

Deloused is such a wonderfull album.. FTM has its flaws, but it's a good followup to Deloused.. They could have done alot worse

[Futuro]

i like frances the mute more than deloused, it was more progressive to me. both are great, and i really like the wankage mixed with ambience.

[Knifeboy]

I find Delouseds flow, to be alot better. And flow is pretty important to me when rating an album heheh

[Futuro]

flow? Frances is like one big song! im pissed off now :IMPISSED:

where did i put my kat?

^joking^ ^im not realy pissedD^ ^didnt really lose kat^

thats cool, i really like both, just one appeals a tad more to me :p

[Knifeboy]

It's one long song.. With a horrible flow :p .. At times it's rarely even progressing!

[clearvision]

Expresso, i told him to record to the midi drums, guitar and bass because all of the stuff is there. With just tyour drums and my guitar, which was what i was going to do. He can't hear the bass. :)

[Shadius]

Frances the mute had some amazing moments, don't get me wrong. I thought it would grow on me, and it half-did, but it dosn't pay back the way a lot of other albums i've worked to like do. Ambience only does so much for me... I prefer music with powerful emotion that I can latch on to. FTM is a lot of wankery, some of it has clear emotion in it, a lot of it dosn't. The songs are too long and winding for me, and they seem terrible at actually finishing a song. That has nothing to do with my attention span, etc. I like a lot of long music, but I like songs that end and they just went too far, I don't think the new album worked well as songs.

To each their own, Deloused was great.

[guitarist.kid]

I wasn't there for three weeks so I ask the question...does someone have news about the next album? and sorryb to be late.

I still disagree. The only portion of FTM that annoys me is that two minutes of random noise after the Widow ends. But other than that, FTM>Deloused, even though I love Deloused.

Even the widow annoys me. And parts of their latest single also just dont fit well in the song. but thats just me :)

Works for most threads

[emo=elmow/otheL]

The Mars Volta write screwed up stuff because they want to. They challenge the listener. Tool does the same but without free jazz parts. I personally love The Mars Volta. Frances the Mute is awesome, not because its easy to listen to but because they do stuff that any normal Mexican-American would cringe at the thought of doing.

Oh, in other news, I am reading The Davinci Code, which is on Tool's booklist. I can really see why it is on there. There are so many things relating to cryptology and symbology that pop up so often in this thread and in Tool's music. :amaze:

Clearvision is running for the next Governor of California.

My muscles are bigger than arnie, so vote for me.

That was random and rather hillarious BlindWriting.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Oh, well in that case, I'm going to decide to either hump Steven Wilson, or steal his identity.

No..they bite as well.

Da Vinci code is a great book. Though I think Dan Browns first Langdon book, Angels and Demons, is better.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Knifeboy- I picked up Voyage 34. AMAZINNNNNNNGUH

Madey-I'm at the part where Sophie dies at the hands of Teabag.

[Syncratic]

What? Haha since when?

Always have. I was bitten twice today, and my sister was bitten six times last week.

Anyway, Angels and Demons is better than the DaVinci Code.

The full trip? (All four songs?)
I love the first two, but the third and fourth are kind of dull..
Listening to the first track on my surround sound system nearly makes me feel high on lsd.. Haha

Seriously. If you're ahead of me, it's common sense to not tell me where you are.

Don't worry....he's lying.

This is definitely the next PT album I want to get.

I'd have it if I knew where the hell I could find it. I have a few songs from it and they're really amazing.

Amazon is always an easy solution. Last time I checked they had it, but it was a bit too expensive. You could probably find it at smaller, used record stores. You know, the kinds of places where you could find rare stuff, bootlegs, etc.

Yeah, I went on a search of all the places like that around here and none had good PT selection. I found some other good stuff, but no PT :-\

And I always check Amazon, but, yeah, the price of all their PT stuff is too expensive right now.

[breakinginflames]

just wondering...
did other tool releases have this kind of secrecy and mysteriousness as this one?
i started listening to tool after lateralus came out, I was in ninth grade and i graduated this year, thats a loooong time at least for me.

I started listening to them this year, so I suppose.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Knifeboy- Yeah, I got the remastered edition. I agree with you that the first 2 songs are quite amazing. I'm dead serious when I say that the solo on Phase I is one of the best solos I've ever heard. The second one. It just. Ohhh, it grooves. :lol: I think that latter 2 phases were put in there not to tell a story, but to aid the user in enhancing their own personal Voyage. :D

Don't worry Madey, I just made that up. 0:-D

I agree, really really amazing solo..
And the first two tracks was on the original lp, track 3, and 4 was made as an afterthought and released on a seperate lp.. Ah man, now I feel like listening to it.. But I can't because it's 2:30 am and my parents are sleeping

[Kage]

Headphones are your friend.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I'd have it if I knew where the hell I could find it. I have a few songs from it and they're really amazing.

Post analysis:

A few=more than 2
the album has 4 songs
I'm guessing you have 3 songs from it? :-D

[Kage]

If you're going to be technical about it, I actually only have one. :p Phase III, I believe. Isn't that actually a studio outtake/jam and not a real tune?

[Knifeboy]

I wish I had a good pair of headphones

Yeah, it's sort of a b-side kind of thing, along with phase IV.. And if you like Phase III, you'love I and II...
want me to upload?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Are there no vocals on all of PT's earlier releases?

[Knifeboy]

There's vocals on The first couple of releases.. I actually think Voyage 34 is the only one without vocals.. .. And.. Metanoia

[Mr Herb]

I wondere what is being discussed :(

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Porcupine Tree. Very cool prog band that really noone has heard of on this hemisphere. They're big in Europe though, but in the US, they somehow managed to sneak under the radar of mainstream music despite they're easy-to-listen-to soundscape. (At least on their later releases)

[Moses]

Jake did you hear the Lateralus vox yet?

Porcupine Tree is awesome.

[Mr Herb]

Whats are some of their best songs jake?

[Purple Floyd]

I got my first album from them a few days ago, In Absentia. They're really good, and the song .3 kicks ***.

[Knifeboy]

Whats are some of their best songs jake?

(even though I'm not jake hehe)

Last Chance To Evacuate Planet Earth Before It Is Recycled
Trains
Shesmovedon
Voyage 34: Phase I
Wedding Nails
Russia on ice

Those should be a good introduction

.3 is incredibly beautiful and was the song that convinced me to buy In Absentia. Along with Blackest Eyes, too. The whole album is just amazing, every second of every song is just perfect.

Whats are some of their best songs jake?
I think you're actually better off just buying In Absentia. I think it's the perfect introduction to PT's very extensive and very diverse body of work.

I personally bought Deadwing first, which is also great, but for that album it's the individual tracks that really stand out, not the album as a whole. Deadwing, Arriving Somewhere (But Not Here), Halo, and The Start of Something Beautiful are the best on that album.

[Kage]

They really need to reissue all their CDs so we can get the earlier stuff for sane prices at regular music stores. Has anyone heard Stupid Dream, Lightbulb Sun, the Sky Moves Sideways? Those albums are incredible.

I have a few songs from each of those albums on my computer, but In Absentia and Deadwing are the only full albums I own. Every member of PT is incredibly talented, and Gavin Harrison, the drummer, is godly.

[Knifeboy]

The drummers dynamics are absolutely mindblowing.. The creator has a mastertape have one of the most interesting beats i've ever heard

[Kage]

I think Gavin's only been in the band since In Absentia, or at least that was the first album he recorded with them. But, I agree. Colin, the bassist, is amazing. His chops are really powerful and, though more subtle in the newer stuff, he really belts out some awesome lines. Richard's keyboards are absouletely mesmerizing and perfect, adding the perfect textures to all the songs. Without him, PT wouldn't be what they are. And, of course, Wilson is a master.

[BlindWriting]

The Creator Has Mastertape is great. The lyrics, especially. And yeah, a really crazy beat, with some incredibly challenging fills.
He also uses odd time very well. The Sound of Muzak has a very interesting verse section in 7/4. Also, the heavy part in Blackest Eyes, in the time of 10, was a huge inspiration for a song I wrote with my band.

Thatd be easier, to jsut buy a record from em. Does it take a while to really get that album? like it does with lateralus?

[Knifeboy]

The intro to blackest eyes is a pure stroke of genius..

One thing I dislike about Deadwing is that Steven wrote and played most of the basslines on the album.. And it shows, I miss Colin's distinctive fretless laidback sound..

I believe Steven writes most of the basslines anyway? I actually really like the bass on that album. It's more subtle than when Colin plays it, but there are still plenty of awesome lines that really enhance the songs.

[BlindWriting]

Thatd be easier, to jsut buy a record from em. Does it take a while to really get that album? like it does with lateralus?
The first time I heard anything from that album were clips from iTunes, and at first, I wasn't to into it, but once I actually heard the album, I really enjoyed it immediately, but I think by the third listen, it had become a favorite.

Lateralus, I loved immediately. The only Tool that I didn't instantly, fully enjoy was the first album I heard from them, Aenima.

And has anyone watched the interview clips with Steve Wilson on the PT site? Some of them are really, really interesting. He explains his connection to the sound of Trains, the inspiration he takes from Opeth and Meshuggah, why he plays concerts barefoot, etc. Check it out, I'll post a link in a second.

He also said that the next album will be one of two things: really heavy, or much mellower. Time will tell, I guess.

[Mr Herb]

I see. ill check it out!


The patient fu cking owns

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Halo has one of the coolest bass lines ever. Right up there with Money. :p

And yes, Wilson writes and performs about half of the basslines. Not live, obviously, but nonetheless, if you look on the credits for Deadwing, it specifies which songs Steven and Colin played bass on.

I'm going to get a powertab for Mellotron Scratch. I've been wanting to learn it for quite some time. :-D

Moses- No.

[BlindWriting]

Here's the link to the interview clips.
http://www.porcupinetree.com/multimedia.music.cfm

And they're coming to NYC on October 1st. I'd love to see them live.

[Dr. Killgreedy]

i loved undertow and lateralus.

[Kage]

Awesome, thanks for the link. I shall make my way over there and watch.

They better come to Houston this time. Hopefully there will be more dates to the tour than what they have confirmed already. I really would love to see them.

[Kage]

Wow, he completely slayed Korn :lol:

[Knifeboy]

Yeah, but as I said, I'm pretty sure that's only on Deadwing.

[Kage]

Awesome, Steven Wilson and I share our favorite movie director, David Lynch.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I didn't know he played a fretless bass. :eek:

Man, I saw some jazz bands on vacation, and y'know, most of them play standup fretless basses. Some of those guys are flatout amazing. I mean, they can seriously shred on their bass.

[Moses]

Jazz> most

Also standup basses don't have frets.

[Kage]

I love watching jazz bassists. I saw a trio of piano, upright bass and drums recently, and I just love that kind of thing live.

[Knifeboy]

ah man, Steven Wilsons seems like the coolest guy ever

[Mr Herb]

Speaking of bassist, what do you guys think about mudvaynes bassist, his imprecive id say

[BlindWriting]

I love watching jazz bassists. I saw a trio of piano, upright bass and drums recently, and I just love that kind of thing live.
Jazz is so interesting to watch. There's a jazz improve group that plays at a club in the city where I live (same club where I saw Team Sleep in early July). By the end of the night, they're all trading off solos. Good stuff.

[Moses]

He's highly Ryknowned.....

pun

Jazz is basically about giving the soloist time to express what he feels in his soul at the time. My highschool is an arts school with tremendous talent and one of our jazz groups is touring around Europe right now.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Moses- I know, I just felt like pointing that out. :p

Kage- Yeah, it was quite the unique expirience for me, because around here, the only bands consist of maracas and sombreros. Mariachi++

Knifeboy- I'd considering one of my favorite, if not my favorite all around genious musicians. :-D

Herb-Ryan Martinie is quite good for a nu metal bassist.

[TheSubtleArts]

yea jazz bassists are amazing, at least the ones ive seen.

[Purple Floyd]

Anyone have some of the rare PT albums they'd like to share? I don't exactly have hundred+ dollars just laying around, and I can't find anything really on soulseek either.

[Moses]

Alot of nu-metal bassists are good Jake. Martinie, Sam Rivers, almost any nu-metal group has a hip-hop rhythm section which means the bassist and drummer are usually decent.

sept for bands like linkin park, staind, trapt etc.


i saw martinie on the mudvayne dvd and he was just eye popping. Ive seen tons of bassist and hes certainly not the best but he really took me by surprise. mudvaynes drummer is pretty good too

[TheSubtleArts]

Ryan Martinie started out as a jazz bassist, so thats why he is good :thumb:

Excellent choice :)

I'm gonna yousendit to your email and leave my computer running, (I'm going to bed, it's 5 am.. Hehe).. After you've downloaded you could post it here for the other guys to download?

Yeah, but none of them have anything on Les Claypool. :p

[Moses]

Ok, you have to realize you're talking about Les Claypool. You could say that for almost and genre and instrument. You could be like metal drummers are pretty good but they got nothin' on Buddy Rich.

[Mr Herb]

Its like if i said Josh Freese sucks cause he dsnt play at careys level :lol:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Kage, how long of a song is the Russia on Ice one? If it's less than 10 megs, do you think you could upload it for me? I would greatly enjoy it. :-D

Nobody really plays at Carey's level. I'm not saying he's the best, or most technical, as he's far from the top there. He has just devoloped such a distinct, unique style compared to all other drummers. He fuses tabla, jazz, metal, and many other less distinct influences to create such an interesting and textured style that you really can't compare him to other drummers.

[Kage]

Or I could say those guitar virtuosos are pretty good, but they've got nothin' on me :evil:

[Knifeboy]

Sure, no problem. :thumb:

Thanks man

Hey! the upload should be done now...

I suck at going to bed. Haha

I'll upload it anyway if you want.


Hey! the upload should be done now...

I suck at going to bed. Haha
:lol: Me too.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Sure, I might as well download it if it's that good. :p Which album is it off of, just out of curiosity.

[Kage]

It's off of Lightbulb Sun. I don't know, it just blew me away. It's a real epic song, and I love the strings. The whole thing is just mesmerizing. I'll upload it.

How about some Tool discussion now...

[Adam Jones is GOD]

If Tool was a movie, what would it be?

And if Tool BECAME a movie, who would play who?

Try that :)


(and David Fincher is directing it, not negotiable)

[Darkness]

I would play Adam... ok ok for real now... I think Jackie Chan should play Maynard because of all the cool fighting stuff they both know...

[Rothmans]

If Tool was a movie, what would it be?

And if Tool BECAME a movie, who would play who?

Try that :)

Why David Fincher?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Why David Fincher?

Favourite movie/video director. Look at his work, and you know he'll be the best choice

Plus collaboration with AJ would be suh weet

Oh alright.

Well Justin by Johnny Depp for coolness.

Danny hmmmm. :/

Adam The guy that played the main character in 28 days later.

Maynard erm somone small?

SOOOOoooo

how are the TOoL fans doing

Back on topic, I agree with the Justin and Adam choices. Danny is a tough one though

SEAN CONNERY as JUSTIN
"Oh, I'll play your game you rat."

AN OCTOPUS as DANNY
"Thank you, Satan!"

JIM CARREY as BLAIR

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Joe Pesci will play Maynard. Come on, we all know Maynard has the Napoleon Complex...

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Danny Carey as Goro from Mortal Kombat

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Jackie Chan as Maynard? Worst. Movie. Evar.

Someone cryptic and cool should be Maynard. Someone like Edward Norton.

Cool actor, but not really a MJK.

I think we need a hybrid for the guy
