I just listened to Fantomas-Suspended Animation...

Wow.
That's all I have to say.

Normally people say WTF. hehe

[Magicaltroll]

I love this stuff.
It's so wacked out and insane!

[Kage]

yea I know, but there musicians. There job is to make music... not make one cd wait 6 years and make another. What are they doing for those six years? From 1963 to 1970 The Beatles released at least one album a year, and pretty much every album they've made is considered great. I just think there slacking. Anything over four years for an active band/musician is too long.
Just shut up.

[Syncratic]

I just got into Dream Theater myself....awesome stuff, I love Scenes from A Memory.

Anywho, anybody ever been to markprindle.com and checked out his Tool reviews?

It's good for a laugh or two........

[El_Goodo]

Just shut up.

Is it wrong to think bands should be making music? You dumb ****. But otherwise thanks to Maynard James Keenan for a good response.

[Moses]

I love this stuff.

If you like wacked out and insane you should listen to Mike Patton's E.P. with The Dillinger Escape Plan. Some of the stuff is like musical genius and some is just friggin' chaotic with a capital K.

HighVoltageRockandRoll: You should realize that Tool may like giving the fans their best and they don't like to force stuff because they want to put out a great record everytime.

You sound like such an idiot. Think about what you're saying before you start saying things that make you look foolish.

You speak as though other musicians don't take their time to release albums. Steve Miller had a huge hit with Fly Like an Eagle, and waited 3-5 years to release another album.

Tool is too good for me to ever criticize. ;) You must think outside of the box you dweeb.

I couldn't never find that one...
Could you give it to me over aim or something? I'll give you an album or two for it.

[Moses]

I don't have all the songs on it but I have some to give you an idea. There's only like 5 songs on it anyway. What's your AIM? TDEP is the best band for chaotic stuff.

Agreed, don't complain about stuff you don't understand.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Agreed, don't complain about stuff you don't understand.

There's gonna be loads of anti tool comments floating around during these polls, we've been through it before though.

And on a nicer topic, y'all read about Danny doing a No Quarter performance with some random people at a show recently?. Nothing really relevant in the latest update, but at least its slightly band related for a change

[Rothmans]

I dont really think tool are rock though :/

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I dont really think tool are rock though :/

Rock is such an open ended term though. Plus they were left out of the metal polls, so its justice this way.

Ah I did not know that I didnt pay attention to the metal one because I knew who was gonna win.

One of my favourite bands are already out GSY!BE :upset:

*little girls voice*

:upset: im scared....how bad will it get?

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Unless im wrong, Mogwai are gone too.

Post rock is overlooked by the R&Mers.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

*little girls voice*

:upset: im scared....how bad will it get?

Look at Iai's comments for an indication. The alt/indie elitists will worm their way over to moan at some point too. Its funny though, with all his tool bitching, just take a look at the first few pages of this thread.

Oh, and if you havent voted yet people, vote for Black mages or Deftones, they'll need it more than Tool

[Rothmans]

Unless im wrong, Mogwai are gone too.

Post rock is overlooked by the R&Mers.


I know I like Mogwai alot I heard them on MTV2 once and since then I ahve always liked them.

GSY!BE I heard it from somewhere and then I heard they done most music on 28 days later which I loved so I looked every for them.

Ahhhh, THEY were the ones! I knew 28 Days Later had a post rock soundtrack, I have In the House, In a Hearbeat on my comp, but I didnt know who did it.

Is that song a one off, or is it on one of their albums?

A one off I am in england on a different comp so I cant upload it sorry :/

Its brilliant though.

[Kage]

Plain and simple. Personally, it's my second favorite genre.

[Rothmans]

Same here.

By the way did you like Neurosis in the end?

[Kage]

Yeah, they're awesome. I have yet to find a band in that style that I don't like, although I still haven't gotten extensively into them because I've been too busy with Pelican (seeing them tonight at 8!) and Isis, etc.

[Moses]

I'm the same way when it comes to different genre's in music. I really can find good music in all genre's.

[Rothmans]

Yeah, they're awesome. I have yet to find a band in that style that I don't like, although I still haven't gotten extensively into them because I've been too busy with Pelican (seeing them tonight at 8!) and Isis, etc.


Ah that would be so good to see.

[Syncratic]

I've been meaning to get into Godspeed You! Black Emperor and Sigur Ros...any suggestions as to what albums are good for people who want to get into them?

[Illmatic]

yea I know, but there musicians. There job is to make music... not make one cd wait 6 years and make another. What are they doing for those six years? From 1963 to 1970 The Beatles released at least one album a year, and pretty much every album they've made is considered great. I just think there slacking. Anything over four years for an active band/musician is too long.

Maynard James Keenan is possessed beyond his own control to create what he feels is a perfect album; therefore he takes as long as he can to meticulously go over every song and make sure it's exactly as he wants it to be.

That's why "eMOTIVE" should have been a total insult to his fans; it felt half-assed and uninspired.

One of my favourite bands are already out GSY!BE

I was one of like, four people to vote for them.

[Kage]

I was one of like, four people to vote for them.
You're looking at the second of the four.

[Moses]

Ray, do you like Tool?

[Illmatic]

I can't say I like or hate them...I used to really like them, but then I went for a long period of time without even listening to them, and now I find it hard to get into them again.

[clearvision]

( ) is meant to be the sigur ros album to get.

I amy have to check out GSY!BE

[Moses]

I see. I get that sometimes too, I can only listen to a single band so many times. Hopefully the new album will deliver and rekindle my interest a little more.


Sigur Ros is beautiful.

[Kage]

Agreed with the whole post.

Yes, you have to. If you like Post Rock at all, GYBE is a necessity.

[BlindWriting]

I've had every intention of picking up ( ) but I there's always something higher up on the list. I should really just break down and buy it one day.

[Mr Herb]

They complain about tool fanboys but Id say no regular here is a fanboy. Just a bucnh of decent tool fans

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Can someone define post rock for me? I mean, wtf, how can you have post rock when rock is still being created. :confused:

@above- The majority of Tool fans here are either the lurkers or n00bs.

/recalls album competition

Or from a different forum all together. :p

[Mr Herb]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post_rock

there you go jake

[Adam Jones is GOD]

All I say is, look at the posting habits of the morons who bash tool, and then do the same with those who say things like 'Not a big fan of tool...', or 'I just dont find their music interesting'. (which is the correct way to express an opinion).

Im betting the first will be another genre forum reg, and the second being a R&M reg.

Preps to YDload as well for giving the first intelligent comment in that thread

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Post rock= Bands that use rock insturmentation to create music that is non-rock

Is that basically what it is?

[Mr Herb]

Yes is simple terms. :)

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Post rock= Bands that use rock insturmentation to create music that is non-rock

Is that basically what it is?

My idea of Post Rock is atmospheric, moody, dynamic lead, progressive brilliance.

But I might be biased

[clearvision]

Quit whining Ben and let it pass...Tool will oen that poll anyway...

Nick just hates the way that all the fan boys are like 0mgz tool are amazing, and by the reactions in the thread he kinda has a point. He has expressed an opinion and everyone is ranting.

[Mr Herb]

Meh, its his opinion really, it didnt bother me that much.

This is the internet, lets not get worked up about what some stranger thinks about your favorite band :)

[Kage]

I would take what he said as more of compliment--Tool is a band that needs no introduction! ;)

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Im allowed a moan or two, its only the internet after all.

Besides, im more focusing on whether the Black mages and Deftones get through in this round.


(im still bitter that mogwai are out though)

[Futuro]

i dunno if im immature (probably) but i find tool fans to be BORING, everyone thinks they have to be talking like a scholar all the damn time, i think we should lighten up, i remember when my user title said TOOL SUCKS BALLS!!! everyone in here got all pissy about that...maybe its me.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

You're right though, tool fans suck. (And what did the swear filter alter that to again?)

People who like tool dont.

[Mr Herb]

LOL meh i have to go, you guys discuss faiths point of view, hope their something educating to read whne am back

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

He didn't express his opinion, really. He basically said that Tool sucked and are overrated, which is not an opinion, but a forced thought upon someone else. I agree AGAIN with one Ben said about how to express your opinion in the correct manner. While I do get what Iai was trying to say, he really didn't do it in the most fair way. I mean, he is running the poll, and he's really not supposed to be biased, but I recall in his mini synopsis of HIM saying THEY SUCK, TEHY SHOULDN"T BE ON THIS LIST.

Oh well, in the end, Tool will win anyways, and we can all point and laugh at the people that are angry about it. In the mean time, I shall be spouting my new-found Porcupine Tree fanboyism as often as I feel needed. :cool:

[Refl]

I'm a Tool fan and i have the brain of an 8 year old.

[Futuro]

TOOL bites the turkey!!!!!, haha that was great

[Adam Jones is GOD]

/is seeing PT again in december

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

They should put a disclaimer on their albums- WARNING: This album has side effects, including diahrrea, upset stomach, and extreme(I mean we're talking wicked hXc here) addiction to this music.

:lol:

And about Tool fans being boring- There are 2 types of Tool fans- The goth idiots who like Tool because they poke fun at religion and other organized evil things, and because they are SOO HEAVY ZOMG! The other kind are the intillectual musician-type fans who appreciate Tool for their intillicualness and their musicianship. The majority of us here are the latter.

/is seeing PT again in december

I have till then to convert at least one friend to them. Ill make sure I put together their heavier tracks to fool them

[Futuro]

Now you're just spamming AJIG asked me what my title was changed too, that is spamming how?

[Clown]

Jake did you listen to Russia on Ice yet?

Oh man, I love that song.


The solo kicks so much ***.

[Refl]

Would anyone like some more PT, as I have the discography?

[Kage]

Oh man, I love that song.


The solo kicks so much ***.
It quickly entered my top songs of all time when I listened to it.


faith - Oh, sorry, I didn't see that you were answering a question.

[Dude3]

Would anyone like some more PT, as I have the discography?
Sure. I'd really like In Absentia.

[Kage]

I raised my hand enthusiastically for the XM2 stuff, damn you! :angry:

[Rothmans]

So now I have a new obsession and they are called the swans.

Simply amazing and to give this post proper meaning: I do not see the big deal in PT yeah there good but not that good.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I did listen to it. It started off slow, so I was actually questioning your judgement. Big mistake. Everything started to pick up around the middle of the song, and it just kept on climbing and climbing in supremecy until it ended, at which point I said "Crap, Kage is never wrong."

MX2? Whats that? Oh, if Kage wants it, I might as well ask for it too. :rolleyes:

[Clown]

Would anyone like some more PT, as I have the discography?

Do you have Yellow Hedgerow Dreamscape, or any of their other rare EP's?


I'd buy it but it's over $200...

[Kage]

Ha! That's what you think. What have you heard from PT?

[Refl]

I raised my hand enthusiastically for the XM2 stuff, damn you! :angry:

sorry sorry.

I'll upload tonight so you can all have it tomoro.

XM2, I'm assuming, is live because I have some of XM which is live. :shrugs:

[Rothmans]

Ha! That's what you think. What have you heard from PT?


Not massive amount of them but when I get back from england I have 2 cds on the pc so I will listen to them.

NP: Swans - The Sound

[Kage]

sorry sorry.

I'll upload tonight so you can all have it tomoro.
No worries, man.

Anyone heard The Sky Moves Sideways? It'll change your life.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I think I may take the time to download a Porcupine Tree, just because I get angry when I can never find it in a store. I think I'll get the rest of Lightbulb Sun, because I've already gotten 13 minutes of it in Russia on Ice. Any objections or better reccomendations?

HOLY CRAP! I'm listening to Russia on Ice again, and if you have the song, listen to the bass harmonic run at the 7:10 mark. It's flatout amazing! I can't even play regular notes that fast, not the mention playing harmonics on a bass that fast. :upset:

[Kage]

I finally gave in and I'm downloading a lot of PT as well, because I simply can't find it to buy at a good price. Eventually I'd like to work up a legit collection, but I'm doing the same thing as you. I realized the other day I've heard five full PT albums, which is more than I was aware of. I've never heard Lightbulb Sun, becuase I think I foudn a good deal to purchase it and I'm going to do that, so I can't vouch for the quality of any of the other songs (although, is there ever really a doubt?).

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

But PT are climbing my playlist ladder quickly

:lol: Truth.

I have a pretty consistent top 5, though. I've just stopped worrying about the actual order.

[Rothmans]

I use to be like that and Neurosis came into my life.

Now I have them and obsessions.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I think mine would go:

Tool
Rage Against the Machine
Pink Floyd
Porcupine Tree
Dredg
Cog

Somewhat in order. :shrug: Your turn!

[Rothmans]

At the moment:

Neurosis
Enslaved

See my first post in Riva's thread to discover why I avoid these band threads for a while

[Rothmans]

My thread had loads of downloads and neurosis are not known at all there not underrated there just unknown you wouldnt find there cd's anywhere apart from the new one.

[Expresso]

Tool
The Mars Volta (new comer)
Led Zeppelin
Umphrey's McGee
Phish

close behind are

RAtM
A Perfect Circle
Kyuss
The Shins
Kanye West
Red Hot Chili Peppers

Does anybody know what a COMATORIUM is????

I was browsing Dissectional... man is that a weird site. Not just cause of the images. It must have taken considerable effort to put that flash **** in. I'm no expert though.


EDT: I forgot Dave Matthews Band and Youngblood Brass Band

[Clown]

mine:

Pink Floyd
Porcupine Tree
Rush
Van Halen
Dream Theater

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Would anyone like some more PT, as I have the discography?

I really would. The only songs I've heard are Deadwing which I like a lot and Russia on Ice which I absolutely love. It reminds me so much of Floyd for the first 7 minutes. Man, kick *** solo.

[Darkness]

There's gonna be loads of anti tool comments floating around during these polls, we've been through it before though.

I know I'm late on this comment, but I was gone all afternoon jamming... Anyways, we just have to ignore all the losers and keep voting for Tool when they deserve the votes.

[emo=elmow/otheL]

My top five:

Pink Floyd
Black Sabbath
Tool
Green Day
Nirvana

A few others have been creeping in lately but this has been my top 5 for awhile now.

[Six Foot Revolver]

Pink Floyd
Queens of the Stone Age
Judas Priest
Black Sabbath
Muse
Tool

I think mine would be, not sure about that though.

[G_Mac07]

So we're making lists again aye? I'll post for the sake of posting. My top 5 would go something like this

Cog
Tool
Arcturus
Opeth
Porcupine Tree

[Magicaltroll]

Ok guys... In Absentia, or Coma Divine Live in Rome?
Quick.


EDIT: Too late, I got Coma Divine

My top 5 are
Tool
NIN
Pig Destroyer
Porcupine Tree
Radiohead

[Mr Herb]

Ym top five:cool:

Tool
Isis
Incubus
Coldplay
A Perfect circle

[Txus]

My top five at the moment may go like this:
Opeth
Tool
Quo Vadis
Porcupine tree
Death

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

So we're making lists again aye? I'll post for the sake of posting. My top 5 would go something like this

Cog
Tool
Arcturus
Opeth
Porcupine Tree

This is my favorite out of all of the lists so far. Pristine choices my friend.

@Expresso- I think it's a made up word, but from what I can tell from the roots of the word, here's what I got:

Coma- A state of extended sleep

-torium- suffix commonly associated with types of buildings. Eg: auditorium

Therefore, if you put two and two together, you get a building of extended sleep. :-D

[ThePatient]

I love lists.

Tool
The Eagles
Opeth
King Crimson
Dreamtheater

[Darkness]

Screw 5, I'm going 10.

Tool
Opeth

Tool

RATM
Isis
Audioslave
Incubus

The Doors
Led Zeppelin
APC
Deftones
Rush
Ill Nino
Coldplay
Dream Theater

[G_Mac07]

This is my favorite out of all of the lists so far. Pristine choices my friend.

Why thank you. :)

We should get some Tool discussion going and stop blatantly raising our postcounts.

Does Dissectional actually serve any purpose? I've never looked into because it's not dial up friendly, and when I'm on a decent connection I don't want any excess downloads whatsoever due to me being really badly overcharged for internet access.

[Darkness]

Not really, just a lot of different art and some games and stuff.

[Grudge]

Probably been posted, but I don't give a ****. Does anybody have any info (Not baseless bull**** assumptions or rumors, I want real gold here) on the release date of the DVD or the next album? Toolband.com is probably just throwing **** out there to confuse readers, which they seem to enjoy, so if any of you have any actual first hand information on any TOOL news, it'd rawk the house.

Thanks.

[Mr Herb]

cd is rumored to come out april next year, dvd some time sooner

[Magicaltroll]

Wait... Who said April?

[Mr Herb]

I guess you werent here, but yes. . .they are the slowest bunch ever :(

[Magicaltroll]

So... Do we have proof about this?

[Mr Herb]

meh, not really. am jsut playing around to proove the point that that aril **** could be as true as any thing cause there isnt anything solid to believe in

[Knifeboy]

I would guess that the dvd comes out after the album..
And that there'll be atleast 6 months between the album and dvd (even if the dvd comes out first)

I finally gave in and I'm downloading a lot of PT as well, because I simply can't find it to buy at a good price. Eventually I'd like to work up a legit collection, but I'm doing the same thing as you. I realized the other day I've heard five full PT albums, which is more than I was aware of.

I see no reason to buy their rare albums used, because it doesn't support the band in any way..

[Mr Herb]

I think itll be backwards, dvd comes out first

[Knifeboy]

They've said something along the lines of that they want to focus on the album before working on the dvd

[Mr Herb]

meh am starting to not give a f uck, itll come out when ever it comes :(

[Vandle]

meh am starting to not give a f uck, itll come out when ever it comes :(

Precisely

[Grey Incision]

which tool songs have the weirdest time signature sections? i need ab out a 1 minute sample which will headf*ck my teacher. I was thinking the section towards the end of lateralus, or the intro to ticks and leeches.......but wasn't sure.

The main guitar riff of Lateralus. 46 and 2. Parabola. Third Eye.

Isn't the Grudge really weird to?

the end of Push1t is really wierd.

It all depends on what you'd define as wierd.

Hey Big Tool fan that knows no other tool fans here

My dad took lateralus can anyone upload it for me?

I would be very thankful

how old is this thread?

Oh yea

Cool to see another Tool fan....why did your dad take Lateralus?

[Kage]

I see no reason to buy their rare albums used, because it doesn't support the band in any way..
Late on answering this, but I had to.

A lot of people don't seem to understand something that's so obvious to me, that it drives me crazy. I have never, not once, in my entire life, bought a CD from a band just to support the band. Besides raising their sales by one unit, the band sees VIRTUALLY NO MONEY from CD purchases. If you're really interested in supporting a band, go to shows and buy merchandise there, and download every album you want. That'll save you a lot of money and you'll still be supporting the band more than you ever will if you bought 30 copies of each of their CDs.

I buy CDs because I love the experience of opening a CD, having it in my hands, looking at the artwork, adding it to my CD collection. I don't download leaks because I like the anticipation of going to the store and buying the CD the day it comes out, opening it up and having fresh, exciting music to listen to.

[Britton]

A lot of people don't seem to understand something that's so obvious to me, that it drives me crazy. I have never, not once, in my entire life, bought a CD from a band just to support the band. Besides raising their sales by one unit, the band sees VIRTUALLY NO MONEY from CD purchases. If you're really interested in supporting a band, go to shows and buy merchandise there, and download every album you want. That'll save you a lot of money and you'll still be supporting the band more than you ever will if you bought 30 copies of each of their CDs.

I buy CDs because I love the experience of opening a CD, having it in my hands, looking at the artwork, adding it to my CD collection. I don't download leaks because I like the anticipation of going to the store and buying the CD the day it comes out, opening it up and having fresh, exciting music to listen to.
I agree whole heartedly with this whole post. I don't buy CD's to support the band I buy it for the feeling. It's so much more fulfilling when you buy the CD.

[Britton]

That's what I did when I was getting all my Hendrix stuff together

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

He thinks it's satanic or something

you think you can help me?

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Maynard doesn't believe in God, so one could assume he doesn't believe in Satan either. The album doesn't even have any cursing on it. Make your dad listen to it over and over until he sees the brilliance. Wait, than he wouldn't give it back to you either. hah.

Yes, very well put in only two sentences, as opposed to my whole rant. It just really steams me up sometimes.

Anyway, saw Pelican last night...it was awesome. The sound coming from the stage was unreal, it's like it's not even coming from only two guitars, a bass, and drums. Really epic stuff. However, the night was somewhat downed by the ****ing shitty opening bands. Oh well, Pelican kicked major ***. The band stayed around to talk to the fans afterwards, it was really cool.

Tons and tons of smaller bands have been dropped from record labels because downloading has hurt their sales. While you're really not taking away much money from an artist by downloading, the chances of them staying on a label (which for a lot of small bands is a dream come true to be signed) become slim.

I've done my fair share of YSI downloading, but I've tried to avoid it whenever possible and I don't really download from file sharing programs like Limewire.

[Huber]

Whenever I have the cash I still buy albums so I don't care. They still get the same amount of money whether I download or not. I do only like to buy albums I feel are worth it though. Some albums you just know are worth buying.

Taken from that site:

As if inspired by Matthew 18:21-22, "The Grudge" urges listeners to forgive others.
Wishful thinking.

Angry at human parasites, a man berates them on "Ticks and Leeches" (once using the f-word) and hopes they suffer for the pain they’ve caused.
Where?

The music remains foreboding, but Tool’s lyrics have brightened considerably since 1996’s Ænima.
Agreed.

Nevertheless, Lateralus]marks a dramatic improvement for the act that has Ticketmaster using a stopwatch to see how long it takes them to sell out concerts (three minutes in Atlanta; sixty seconds in New York).
Holy ****!!

Pray that, in the musicians’ search for truth, God sharpens Tool.
That pissed me off. I "pray" that people stop rubbing religion in the faces of others.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Maynard never said he didn't believe in God.

Are you sure?

Yes. He may say "**** your god" or somthing like that but he never said he didn't believe in a god. For all we know he could be a Christian.

try to force on other people and it's pissed me off to the point of
wanting to never come back...if that makes sense

My mom is the worst about it everyone she meets she has to pursacute*

[Britton]

I got to get that cd back!

I can kinda see why he might not like undertow with some of the stuff one there
but if that's the case why not just take undertow?

[mudvayne420]

Britt, you should tell your dad why he thinks tool is satanic.

[Moses]

Tool is actually against what his father wants though because his father wants to make him into a right-wing christian. Nothings wrong with being one but it's the individual's decision. Tool is about choosing your own path and his father wants him to follow his.

Here's a nice Zappa quote: "I made a song about dental floss but did anyone's teeth get whiter?". Another one: "There are more love songs than anyother kind. If music could take control, we'd all love one another".

[Syncratic]

Tool? Not Satanic in the least. They are a great band with a message of: 'Think for Yourself, Question Authority.' Ask your father why he thinks that particular album is Satanic. There is virtually no cursing (the F-Bomb in Ticks and Leeches is hard to pick out at the first listen, but you can), although Ænema makes up for any swearing since.

There are no Satanic themes:

The Grudge: Forgiveness.

Eon Blue Apocalypse: The end of something (I believe).

The Patient: Patience is a virtue in any relationship.

Mantra: Monotany and Boring Repetition.

Schism: Rift in a relationship, longing to reunite.

Parabol/Parabola: Love, the feeling of euphoria.

Ticks and Leeches: Facing demons.

Lateralus(is): Spiritual ascendancy, spiritual truth

D/R/T: A change/casting away your old, shallow self/reaped rewards.

Fiaap de Oiad: Ultimate truth.

End of discussion.

Thank you....I was planning on writing an essay for it if I needed to for English class or something, but I don't think that'd pan out well, considering I kinda suck at intepretations.

I don't think there's really anything else to say at this point. Once the new album comes, it'll be a madhouse, but for now, we just have to wait.

Very vague descriptions, yet concise. As for the whole Lateralus being satanic topic, let us keep in mind that Schism has direct ties to The Great Schism formed between Catholic and Protestant branches of Christianity. That is where the term "schism' came from in the first place, wasn't it? How is writing a song about Christianity Satanic?

Oh well, glad to see you got the album back, as it's one of the greatest albums ever conceived.

Jake's realization on the new album
Well, not so much a realization, but more of a in-progress theory- From what i learned from speculation, Maynard and the rest of Tool perhaps have a thing for the Pagan concepts involving yin and yang- Opposites attracting to form a supreme being. Eg. Parabol/a is a 2 part song- The intro being quiet, the rest being heavy, and also the song sounds like it could be about sex, the 'ultimate union of 2.'

The rumors of the album being about light and dark seem to tie in well here.

Just a thought/topic starter

[Moses]

Listen to these tracks in this order on Lateralus and you'll see that it is darker than the rest of the albums.

Id like to know what was laterlaus supposed to be about. . .

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Okay, heres another thought:

What do you think Maynard would do if a fan captured him and tortured him until Maynard told him what all of the songs were about?

Do you think he would tell, or die with the mystical answers? :eek:

[Darkness]

He would transform into a spiritual being, turn back time, and before the fan captured him, he would know this was happening and would proceed to kick his *** as he's done to other fans.

Either that, or just die with the answers.

[Huber]

I have a feeling Maynard would be smart enough to realize that dying to hide the meanings of his songs would be dumb.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

mayanrd would probably. . .cry?? i dunno:(

He would weep like a widow.

Wait. ZOMG LATERALUS IS ABOUT MAYNARD GETTING CAPTURED BY AN OBSESSED FAN LOOKING FOR ANSWERS ABOUT SONG MEANINGS!

I like the idea...just show the whole kidnapping thing to Blair, he'll claim that he is a psychic alien who knew it all along.

Jake, I just got the general idea for all of the songs, so that's why, perhaps, they are vauge.

Schism? I think it's about ultimate division in general, not just the church, but a relationship ("set two lover's souls in motion"). So, I think that's what it is............

[Shadius]

Okay, heres another thought:

I didn't Get the album back....He still has it...that's why I came, it's a great forum yall

I don't know if he thinks the album itself is satanic. one of his little friends
apperantly told him they were, He's kinda stubbern so he hasn't listened to it
(and probably won't) it would be awsome if he did though!

That's what I took it for

[Kurrpt]

SOOOooooo

whens the album coming out?

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

I like to think that the lyrics of the songs in Lateralus are purposely vague in general. These abstrct lyrics happen to be my favorite because they make you think instead of telling you what their opinion of something is. Schism, in my opinion, is just about schisms in general.

One of the things I don't like about Aenima is that most of the songs have a concrete meaning. Stinkfist IS about desensitization, Eulogy IS about false martyrs...etc.

[Moses]

@kurppt: Is that the only thing you ever say when you come in here?

Well seems like it could be the 26th of September like the rumor.

[Syncratic]

One of the things I don't like about Aenima is that most of the songs have a concrete meaning. Stinkfist IS about desensitization, Eulogy IS about false martyrs...etc.

That's a progression that I like....Ænima's messages were pretty straightforward, and Lateralus's messages were abstract, allowing you to fill in the blanks. I like the idea of them exploring both sides of messages.

[Moses]

I liked Aenima's better because there was more of a puzzle to solve and there was an answer. Lateralus is kind of annoying in the way that you'll never have a straight answer. Poetry-wise I like Aenima better because it used clever and more metaphors.

[Syncratic]

I like to explore different messages when it comes to music.

BTW, does anybody have ( ) by Sigur Ros....can I get in on AIM?

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Why does it seem that way? Any new info?

I only like Aenima more because it progresses better as an album. I'll take abstract over concrete any day, though.

[Moses]

Aenima isn't really concrete, it just has different issues that make it seem so. Also Lateralus isn't really abstract. Nirvana is more abstract. :confused:

I don't know how to explain it but that's what I think.

Aenima isn't really concrete, it just has different issues that make it seem so. Also Lateralus isn't really abstract. Nirvana is more abstract. :confused:

Lateralus IS abstract. You could come up with 49750934509 different explanations for songs like Lateralus and Parabola.

You know what Aenima's lyrics are about.

[Moses]

Well abstract is more like something you can't explain. Abstract is somthing that doesn't make sense but also stands for somthing. Lateralus makes sense. I'd say that Lateralus is more vague than abstract.

[Knifeboy]

Late on answering this, but I had to.

A lot of people don't seem to understand something that's so obvious to me, that it drives me crazy. I have never, not once, in my entire life, bought a CD from a band just to support the band. Besides raising their sales by one unit, the band sees VIRTUALLY NO MONEY from CD purchases. If you're really interested in supporting a band, go to shows and buy merchandise there, and download every album you want. That'll save you a lot of money and you'll still be supporting the band more than you ever will if you bought 30 copies of each of their CDs.

I buy CDs because I love the experience of opening a CD, having it in my hands, looking at the artwork, adding it to my CD collection. I don't download leaks because I like the anticipation of going to the store and buying the CD the day it comes out, opening it up and having fresh, exciting music to listen to.

(a late reply for your late reply)
I know what you mean... And it's true that the band won't see any money for it.. But it will help them, if you buy one of their cd's. Especially a band like PT who need all the cd sales as they can get.. If it wasn't for the fact that all PT records will be reiussed, I'd say go ahead and buy it used! hehe

It is true that the CD sales will help them (although with a band like PT, I don't think they're in a position where they're in danger of not having a record label), but I'll take PT CDs where I can get them. I've never found any of them at a CD store besides the greatest hits collection, and of course In Absentia and Deadwing. And ordering them new from the internet becomes a really pricy affair because of shipping, etc.

[Knifeboy]

Huh? Pricey? .. And when you talk about buying used.. Do you mean from a store? Or from some sleazy lying scumbag of an amazon salesman?
Because it's from a store, then I'm pro supporting used cd stores ;)

[Britton]

Yea except I haven't been able to find a cd store that doesn't rip people
off all the one's I got here are like15 to 18 buck's per pop but if you are
looking for something special those are the places to go

[Trintar_VIII]

It would be nice if CDs were only $10, but instead they go up to $18 and $19. It seems a bit expensive, but some CDs are definately worth the money.

Edit: Though I did find Rush - 2112 for only $7.50 :thumb:

try hastings
you can special order cds they dont have for free, although since they probably dont have the stuff anyone here listens to in stock it will take at least a week to get it in
it only costs around $15, and it'll give you something to live for for a few more days

Why not? :p

I'll be looking for more Porcupine Tree, I have In Abstenia, and I love it.

Anywho, anybody speculate as to the costumes Maynard will wear on the next Tool tour?

[Mr Benners]

It's not about being funny. i like how you used the "please?" It makes it sound like tool is a band that i should take seriously.

You forgot to add, "That was coldblooded"

Jeez...



I picked up Signify (2 disc reissue) by Porcupine Tree a few days ago, from HMV for only 14 quid - quite pleased about that really.

Out of interest, how many of you have heard Arizona Bay by Bill Hicks? If the name doesn't click, Bill Hicks is the comedian included in the liners to Aenima with the quote 'Another Dead Hero'. He supported Tool on tour a couple times, too. Those samples on Third Eye ("Those musicians who enhanced your lives....." etc.) are from Hicks.

Anyway, hearing Arizona Bay puts Aenima in a different light. In fact, I'd go as far as calling everything on Aenima (not just Third Eye and the title track) a tribute to Hicks. I can upload it if you like.

It would be nice if CDs were only $10, but instead they go up to $18 and $19. It seems a bit expensive, but some CDs are definately worth the money.

Edit: Though I did find Rush - 2112 for only $7.50 :thumb:


prices that high leaves some people to do P2p sharing which is cheaper but has a backdwon on it.... :upset:

[Mr Herb]

sure, upload it :)

[The Flabbit Rides High]

I have one of his shows. Its funny and at the same time makes you uneasy.

He has a way of sneaking his opinions up on you through metaphorical jokes and such.

"Pick up the gun...."

Do it. If any of the regulars in this thread haven't heard/seen/read anything by Bill Hicks before, then I'd really recommend it too. Not only because of the influence that he had on Tool (and also Radiohead incidentally), but also because I can honestly say that I've never found myself laughing as hard as I have when I hear his comedy routines.

Yes, Iai, I'd love to hear some Bill Hicks, I've been meaning to get some, but.......

[Six Foot Revolver]

Bill Hicks is the shiznit, I have Rant In E Minor and it is hilarious.

[Trintar_VIII]

I've listened to a good bit of Bill Hicks - Arizona Bay, Dangerous, Relentless, and Philosophy. I must say, he's quite funny and still makes a good argument at the same time. He's probably my second favorite comedian, but I think it's kinda cool about him and Tool working together. I feel that listening to him helps me learn a little more about Tool's opinions on life and how they view the different ordeals going on.

Hopefully he dishes out that leather suit he had during Lateralus... that was tight.


Literally.

George Carlin - I'm seeing him in September, it should be good fun.

[Syncratic]

I like Dane Cook, Ardal O'Hanlon (funny Irish man), and the like.

Can't wait to hear Bill Hicks.

Thanks, Iai!

[Darkness]

I like... Jerry Seinfeld. :D

Carlin is awsome, one of my favorites.

Crap. 60 megs! :upset: 60 megs+ 4.7 kbps= no good for me

Iai- Numerous Tool fans think that Eulogy is a tribute to Hicks(I personally think Maynard is taking a stab at L. Ron Hubbard, but that's just me) and also the allusions to Arizona Bay in Ænema(the song) make me seem to think that Tool definitely wanted to make Ænima some sort of ode to Hicks.

[Iai]

I also think Stinkfist is a tribute of sorts - Hicks often used disgusting sexual images to shock his audience. Like Randy Pan the goatboy.

I dont listen to Tool much but I am downloading the songs from their Aenima cd. But I cant seem to find (-) lons. Do any of you guys have this song on your computer or something so you can send it to me? Or can someone email it to me or something? thanks

Iai- I've never heard that one, but it does actually sound logical. The only meaning I've heard about Stinkfist is that it is about becoming de-sensitized(sp?) by television, war, etc..The allusions to 'fisting' become progressively more grotesque, showing how after a period of time, the body becomes accustomed to things, whether it be fear, or stimulation. In this case, the metaphor is comparing stimulation to fear. Both convey a sense of shock, and over a period of time, being exposed to the 'shock' will make you less prone to noticing it.

Wow, I wanted that to be more concise

sp1406- If you're having trouble finding it, you don't really need to have it, since it is just a 4 minute filler track made up of static and storm-like sound effects created with a peice of sheet metal.
