Tool

[Futuro]

i hoping for another Aenima (without hooker) and with sonme heavier riffs (i still dont think they will downtune)

[BlindWriting]

I hope there's a song on there that's so heavy, my legs fall off
Oh god yes.

[Kurrpt]

i hoping for another Aenima (without hooker) and with sonme heavier riffs (i still dont think they will downtune)


downtune as in just Drop D?


i would be surprised if its anything BUT that

[Darkness]

i hoping for another Aenima (without hooker) and with sonme heavier riffs (i still dont think they will downtune)
Why would you want another Ænima? That cds been done already. Plus we know its going to be heavier and more progressive then Lateralus... That'll be great. Thats the direction I want to see. :thumb: As long as they still have a few good soft moments, I hope the rest is really heavy. :D

[Reywas]

I hope the new CD is released after Chinese Democracy.

[penelope_weird_hands]

organic with dynamics and insanely good lyrical content = me happy.

judging by most previous releases.. i will be happy with the next album.

godspeed you bastards. give us something soon ..!

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

I hope the new CD is released after Chinese Democracy.

Don't even get me started on Chinese Democracy's release date...

[repcak]

Plus we know its going to be heavier and more progressive then Lateralus... That'll be great.

wow... heavy and progressive :D i can't wait. but i hope they will have some songs which are calm... 2-3 of these songs and i am happy...

hey... what when tool will release an album with only 2-3songs, which are 20-30min long... i'm going crazy when i imagine this... it would be sooo ****ing GREAT.

I hope the new CD is released after Chinese Democracy.

he's doing the album since .. hm... 6yrs now... i don't think it will ever be released

[Reywas]

I think 6 years is an understatment.I hope new songs from tool are gonna be in the line of Faaip The Oiad.Scary music.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

All i've got to say is if it aint broke...

[BlindWriting]

Why would you want to hear them do the same thing they've done for?

Or did I misunderstand.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Why would you want to hear them do the same thing they've done for?

Or did I misunderstand.

No, i meant continue along their progressive road, but keep to Tool's basic ideals.

People are talking about major downtunings, weird tracks and a fully metal album, where I think focusing on one path is not the tool way of doing things.

Though a leg destroying heavy track is welcome :)

[BlindWriting]

I think we should all rest assured, it's going to be amazing no matter what kind of album they put out.

I mean come on.

Who are we kidding.

This is Tool, people.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

They're like the son thats never told a lie and is always back home before 11.

Pessamist in me againis saying 'you can trust a band that has made a bad record to bounce back, but one that has been consistently good is always due a slip up'

[Kurrpt]

agreed, but thats obvious

[Darkness]

This better not be Tools 'slip up', theres simply to much anticipation. I'd probably die if this record sucked... well thats an exageration.

[Shadius]

There was huge anticipation for the last one too, they milk us like cows.

I imagine the next record will be a great one, though whether we all enjoy it as much as previous releases is yet to be seen.

As for different tunings. I imagine there will be some songs with odd tuning on there. Another drop B song maybe, or something more strange.

[Darkness]

They should stick with Drop D and a few songs in drop B would be sweet to. Whatever it is, we know Adam and Justin can deliver.

[Prince of Darkness]

yeah. Tool really can't make something bad. All the albums will always be good in it's own, strange way.

I hope they have long, epic songs, like Third Eye or even longer. They should make a classic epic song that over 20minutes, like Octavarium. That would rock.

Oh yeah. What happens when the Compact Disk(CD) falls away and DVD takes its place. What would the playing time of the albums be?

[G_Mac07]

I hope they have long, epic songs, like Third Eye or even longer.

L.K. anyone? :D

[Kurrpt]

actually, they are coming out with a new format of DVD that uses a blue laser


albums havent gotten any longer (maybe a few minutes) since the 40s. I doubt bands would be releasing more tracks per album as well

[Prince of Darkness]

But I bet people like Tool would like make huge length albums....but then again, they would most probably not bring out another album and just let us suffer more......

...But you see what I mean. If artists had 4.6Gb/120min to work with...they wouldn't mind.

[G_Mac07]

...But you see what I mean. If artists had 4.6Gb/120min to work with...they wouldn't mind.

If I remember correctly, having albums released like that would result in the same sort of quality you would recieve on DTS disc (I'm pretty sure they are the size of DVD's, but not certain). Someone here got Deadwing as a DTS disc I believe, so they may already be implementing releases like that.

[superpeer]

Listening to Undertow now and I must say that it's A LOT better than Aenima. At least something's happening.

[BlindWriting]

Undertow's definitely an easier listen, and even though it's the darkest and angriest, it still has some artsy aspects that would develope more during Aenima.

[superpeer]

My thoughts were more like 'Hey, this isn't as boring' :p

[BlindWriting]

Haha.

But I didn't really like Aenima on the first couple listens that much either. Stinkfist, Eulogy, Hooker were the ones I liked, but I took me a little while to really enjoy songs like H., Pushit, and Third Eye.

As I've said before, it's Lateralus > Aenima > Undertow > Opiate for me.

[Prince of Darkness]

Yeah and they make Music DVD with albums on them aswell, but only with album released on cd before that.
They should really use the ful capability of the dvd, for its huge amounts of space/length and its unbelievable sound qaulity. I's going to happen. We should just wait it out. :thumb:

[BlindWriting]

DualDiscs really didn't take off the way a lot of people thought they would.

[Prince of Darkness]

Daul Discs? Don't really think I know what you mean....like 2 discs?

I doubt that I will ever like it, since it bores the hell out of me and I hate the vocals and the length of the song. At least I tried.

And Jake was right, even though I doubt that I even mentioned it, but I do like Sober.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Sober is such a good track, perfect for any tool addition to a mixtape.

Now say you like 4 degrees and im happy

[superpeer]

Yeah, some people I know just say the band is crap but haven't even heard a single song. You actually took the time (and are still doing so) to see if you like the band's sound.



Sober is such a good track, perfect for any tool addition to a mixtape.

I like 4 Degrees quite a bit except for the chorus. Something about it never really appealed to me.

[Prince of Darkness]

Undertow only works for me when I wana be pumped up for action!

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I still hate how Undertow is a lot quieter than 99% of my record collection. Gets annoying when im adjusting the volume constantly

[G_Mac07]

Daul Discs? Don't really think I know what you mean....like 2 discs?

I think he means Dual Layer Discs. Like those DVD's that can hold up to 8 Gig.

Good to see your enjoying Undertow more 'Peer. I can understand you not enjoying Aenima upon the first listen. I didn't particularly either, although tracks like Stinkfist and Aenema really stood out to me. I discarded Tool for two years after that, and then I heard Lateralus. I fell in love with it, and after a month of so of listening to it, I went back and listened to Aenima. It really made me appreciate some of the longer songs a lot more, and I found myself beginning to 'get' the epic nature of their music.

[superpeer]

Yeah, undertow isn't exactly an outstanding album, I'd say it's okay. But at least it has some enjoyable parts and even a song I like. :eek:

And 4 degrees is an okay song, Sober is still the best.

I'd probably give Undertow 3/5 and I gave Aenima 1.5/5 :), so it's twice as good! *gasp*

[BlindWriting]

Daul Discs? Don't really think I know what you mean....like 2 discs?
A DualDisc is a disc that has a regular CD side, for your CD player, and then if you flip it over and put it in your DVD player, you get some extras.

[Darkness]

You may like Opiate to SuperPeer.

[G_Mac07]

I'd probably give Undertow 3/5 and I gave Aenima 1.5/5 , so it's twice as good! *gasp*

I like your logic.

You may like Opiate to SuperPeer.

Second'd. We'll get him hooked one way or another...

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

I guarantee Superpeer will like Cold and Ugly.

[Kurrpt]

i dont understand why everyone likes sober. I think its the worst fukking song..

[Kurrpt]

I still hate how Undertow is a lot quieter than 99% of my record collection. Gets annoying when im adjusting the volume constantly


they should remaster that sh!t dont ya think....

i guess they'll probably wait a few years for that to take.


I was going to play some TOoL last nite on my Jackson. I couldnt fukking remember how to play Part of Me


i felt pathetic

[G_Mac07]

Sober is a very accessible song. From what I've noticed, most Tool songs take a little while to grow on your. Sober is one of those songs you can like immediately, but eventually you realise that although it's a great introductory song, there are better songs on the album.

Care to point out why you don't like it?

[Dude3]

Undertow was okay. Well, it was good, but nothing compared to their later releases. I really like the song "Intolerance".

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I was going to play some TOoL last nite on my Jackson. I couldnt fukking remember how to play Part of Me

i felt pathetic

The whole song, or just any of it?

I tend to forget the length of the outro, mainly due to dozing off while playing it

[repcak]

right now i listen to Undertow... hm... ok... at this second i was writing this, my batteries went out... on the song 'sober' ... ARGH

ok, anyway; i think tool had written better songs than sober. only cause it was released as a single doesn't mean that its good too! look at NIN: they released 'only' and 'thtf' as single -> the 2 worst songs on the whole WT-record.

and i wanna hear some 20min long songs from tool!!! :D

[Kage]

The whole song, or just any of it?

I tend to forget the length of the outro, mainly due to dozing off while playing it
:lol: Was that meant to be a subtle stab at the song?

Dont get me wrong, love the song, but playing it does drag on a bit

@Kage (Offtopic): you're a big david lynch fan, right? cause i was watching 'dune' on the cassette (from my sister) and after 1 1/2 the cassette ended (not enough space) and i wanted to know, how is the film... good enough to watch it till end? or can you summarise me the end?!

[Kage]

I'll put it this way: Lynch has soooo much better work than Dune. I mean, if you like that kind of thing, it's good. But the movie was taken out of his hands at the end, so he wanted to have his name taken off of it. So that tells you something about it.

But you're right, I'm a huge David Lynch fan.

[Kurrpt]

i thought the outro was just


".... a part of me <END>"


or are you talking about the whole screaming deally before the actual <end>

[Adam Jones is GOD]

i saw Mulholland drive (your avatar :thumb: ) two times and i love this film to hell. so i was suprised that david lynch made a science-fiction movie... :confused:
but now i understand why.

can you recommend me some further films? Eraserhead has to be good, when you call yourself after it.

[Kurrpt]

yea, its quite boring, but to honest with you, most of all TOoL is like that on guitar. Yes, of course there are songs that are more complex blah blah, but really hes all about the overall sound and FX

[Red Cow]

Hey just wondering if at around 4min 1sec during Sober can anyone eles hear some one saying hey or shouting, turn up real loud and listen real close,some one please confirm im not going insane.

[Kurrpt]

Amazing! I'm glad you liked Mulholland Drive, it is my favorite movie of all time. I've seen it so many times, and it never gets old :D

Eraserhead is amazing, but be ready for it to be very weird. It's quite a lot different (and older) than M Dr, but still just as good. It's very surreal. I also recommend Blue Velvet, and, my personal second favorite, Lost Highway, which I know you'll like.

Good luck finding them, though. Unless, I can't remember, but don't you live in Germany? There's a good DVD of Lost Highway that's only available in Germany.

Nearly. I live in Austria (city: Vienna - but only when i am at university)
whats the matter with the DVD? any special content?

edit: and as far i can remember you're from houston (texas), right? i have seen the city in the news... cause of new orleans.

[Kage]

No, but there's no U.S. release of the Lost Highway DVD...the only one we can get is the Canadian version, which looks TERRIBLE. Thus, you have to get hte movie on VHS, which makes it very hard to find. But the German one I've heard is very good.

[Kurrpt]

i have yet to see Lost Highway


I like the sound track though

[repcak]

why isn't there no u.s. release?

[Kage]

The sound track is great. Angelo Badamentali rocks, and he does all the music in almost every Davd Lynch movie. Of course, Trent + Bowie is a great addition as well. The movie is freaking amazing.

There's no US release because it was released right as DVDs were just becoming popular, and Lost Highway wasn't on the cutting board to get on DVD. And there's been no release since, and no one knows why. :-\ The only way to get Eraserhead on DVD is to order it from Davd Lynch.com and it's very expensive.

Do you think Maynard will play more stuff on this next album? Two guitars would be a cool way to change their sound a little.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Wow, interesting timing. Everybody must now listen to the live version of Third Eye from Salival. Is it just me, or do I hear a vocal harmony near the beginning? Who the hell is that real high pitched voice? :confused:

Wow, interesting timing. Everybody must now listen to the live version of Third Eye from Salival. Is it just me, or do I hear a vocal harmony near the beginning? Who the hell is that real high pitched voice?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I think it's in the first verse.

[G_Mac07]

I might have to stick my headphones in.

Me too. I tried listening but I think it's just the vocals effect Maynard is using. Then again, I kind of could hear it, because I think I kind of wanted to, if you catch my drift. Plus I've been awake for just over 26 hours, so I'm feeling a little scattered. I'm confused.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

It's probably a vocal effect. Perhaps some kind of Digitech "gender-shifter" type of deal, as it sounds like a female voice.

[Kage]

Come on! What would you have done if you were modded on a forum that as a whole, got less posts per day that my single mx account?!

I have a question. Does Adam use a seven string guitar on "Parabola"? It sounds like it to me. I figured it out on my seven string and it sounded right, but does anyone know if he actually does or not?

I have a question. Does Adam use a seven string guitar on "Parabola"? It sounds like it to me. I figured it out on my seven string and it sounded right, but does anyone know if he actually does or not? he plays a 6 string gibson, just downtuned i think

Downtunes E to B and A to E. No A string at all.

Maybe hes getting the bass wah intro mixed up???

[repcak]

Adam Jones always plays in Drop-D Tuning.

it doesn't matter if they will have 2 guitars or not... On their albums Adam puts always several layers of guitar tracks on... as everybody does.
it will matter when they will have 2 guitars on stage!!

[Kurrpt]

well, there is two guitars in the intro i think. One layer is the wah, and the other is the palm muted intro...

[Shadius]

i hear 3 guitar tracks on patient...

Yeah, there's synth stuff in some places on Lateralus. Looped or whatever live through pedals, what I meant was more obvious dual guitar stuff. Who knows though, they seem to do it all well with one guitar.

You're right, it doesnt. :p jk man.

[Darkness]

Tool - Be Patient... kinda week... but whatever.

[Shadius]

Tool - Be Patient... kinda week... but whatever.

It's fitting without trying to be overly deep, or clever and failing.

[repcak]

yeah... tool - be patient is a great name

[BlindWriting]

Meh.

[Shadius]

Meh.

Either that or just the Tool Community Thread. Dosn't really matter, but if we have to have an "Individual" name i'd go with the one I previously mentioned. Just so long as it's clear what the thread is about and has "Tool" in the title.

[repcak]

other suggestions?

tool - no tolerance
tool - opium for the folk/nation

[BlindWriting]

Honestly, just Tool is fine. I don't really see why we need an in-joke of any kind.

[repcak]

we don't need an in-joke kind of name. we once hat the name 'tool' which was renamed after 2 days

[Darkness]

Tool is perfect.

[repcak]

Tool is perfect.

is this a statement or a proposal for a name?

[Txus]

I think they should leave it like "Tool" simple and effective as that.

[Darkness]

is this a statement or a proposal for a name?
Both.


Well, just a name.


...wow... 800th post in the thread. :p

[Magicaltroll]

How do you find out how many posts you have in a thread?

[Dude3]

I'm on the search for a new username. I've concluded that Dude3 sucks. At least I think its kinds generic and lame.


For the thread title, I vote "Tool ****s MY yankee blue jeans"

[Five Magics]

Is there a new album release date yet? or are they currently making their album right now?

[Dude3]

Is there a new album release date yet? or are they currently making their album right now?
They're recording it. No release date is known.

Uh oh, bout' the break 3,000.

[Five Magics]

They're recording it. No release date is known.

I really don't how they could top Lateralus...it might just be another Lateralus with a different hook of course.

[BlindWriting]

I'm hoping for a later December/holiday season release date.

[Darkness]

How do you find out how many posts you have in a thread?
Click on the total number of posts next to the thread title. You have 353 I believe.

[Dude3]

I'm hoping for a later December/holiday season release date.
That would be awesome if it happened. Something tells me wont see the new album out until late spring of next year.

[BlindWriting]

Gah, that's way too long.

[superpeer]

Tool - Be Patient... kinda week... but whatever.

What about: 'Thread with a penis' ?

[Darkness]

Dude... thats perfect!! Then put (Tool) at the end of it.

[Killtacular]

UnderTool. Or not.

Tool Community Thread and Forty Six & Tool are great choices. Either would suffice.

[Daven]

What about: 'Thread with a penis' ?


My vote goes for this one.

:thumb:

[ThePatient]

46 & Tool gets my vote.

Thread With A Pen!s would be good too, but I can't see that getting through.

[deathmetal]

I'm hoping for a later December/holiday season release date.

i agree, that would be a nice christmas present :)

[deathmetal]

i heard maynard is taking a whole new approach to singing, according to toolband, but i coulda read it wrong. please correct me if im am.

In the very early stages of the writing process, apparently Maynard was going to try a very different vocal style that include just saying parts or syllables of words. For the most part though, that idea has been scrapped.

[Magicaltroll]

Faith No More.
They have "pantacles" on their site also, and as an album cover.
Coincidence?

Thanks, I thought so, wasnt too sure tho.

I think I'm glad that idea was scrapped.

[Spiritofmosa]

how about the TOOLbox

Yes.

[1One1]

Long story short: We need more Tool.

We need more NOW.

Why do we not have more Tool?

[Huber]

Because they take there time, and enjoy taking there time.

[repcak]

my vote goes for 'Tool - be patient'

:thumb:

[Prince of Darkness]

I vote for just, plainly, Tool. Great name. I don't like the Rock & Metal's Tool Thread thing, it's too long.

[Syncratic]

Fourty-Six and Tool is cool, but "Thread With a Pen1s is awesome.

[Spiritofmosa]

yeh something short.. but before the album comes out Tool - Be patient or something would be cool

[Spiritofmosa]

or y not start a fresh thread.. 700 pages is hell long

[Syncratic]

or y not start a fresh thread.. 700 pages is hell long

Nah.

And don't double post.

[Darkness]

Noway were starting fresh... the amount of information in this thread is unmatched, and throwing it away is just plain stupid.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Thread With a Penis wouldn't work, because you can't put tags into thread titles, so it would look like "Thread with a *****." I like Forty Six & Tool though. :-D

Oh, and on starting a new thread- I would have to start fresh on my 1,000 posts in this thread. :(

[Matter]

how bout Toolology.... :rolleyes:

[repcak]

Noway were starting fresh... the amount of information in this thread is unmatched, and throwing it away is just plain stupid.

but who will read 700 pages? that's impossible...

Oh, and on starting a new thread- I would have to start fresh on my 1,000 posts in this thread. :(

how can i see, how many posts i have done in a certain thread? i can't find it.

Go to the R&M main page, where you see all of the threads, and click on the total number of posts in that thread. A small window will pop up, just look there.

[Rothmans]

The little envelope beside the thread just put your mouse cursor on that and it will tell you.

[Dude3]

Nah don't delete it. I say we get this thread into the thousands, at least.

ah... great, thanks; didn't know this.

[Reywas]

No way 61 is too much to lose.

[Darkness]

I'm katching up to Kage... hahahaha! :D

[Rothmans]

I have only about 450 or something meh, I am getting there though.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Gloating?

:(

He probably is. :lol: That guy gave me some negative rep and sent me a comment because I did a single smiley post, as if I've never been to the thread before or contributed anything to it. I know that doesn't really have any relevance, but I'm still angry about that. :upset: :lol:

[Mr Benners]

Forty Six and Tool gets my vote.

My hugely important vote, given my 24 posts in this thread.

*cough*

[repcak]

I'm katching up to Kage... hahahaha! :D

edit: i have only 55 :p

[Kage]

I'm katching up to Kage... hahahaha! :D
I used to be second place, but I was gone for about a month and clear and Jake just shot ahead of me.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

How about "Jerk Off a Hooker With a Tool"?

[clearvision]

Yeah I was ruling the second place, then i went on holiday and bam :( I'm catching him quick though, without spamming mind. But don't tell him that ;)

Forty Six & Tool is great, but N00bs will be searching for the word tool at the front of the thread name, hence why I chose 'Tool - Be patient' as it has tool first. Shameless plugging ++

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

How about "Jerk Off a Hooker With a Tool"?

I like it!

[Endless Obsession]

The people have spoken.

46 + Tool.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

The people have spoken.

46 + Tool.

That's not that good of a thread name.

[Dude3]

Yes! "46 & Tool" shall be the name. At least, I want it to be.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

How about "Jerk Off a Hooker With a Tool"?

^^^

[Darkness]

Or just Jerk Off Your Tool.

Nah thats kinda gross..

[Dude3]

See ya guys later. I'm going to see Mudvayne/Shadows Fall/In Flames in St.Petersburg. I'll tell you guys about the concert tomorrow, or something like that.

[Killtacular]

Cold and Ugly Jerk-Off Sweat. I win.

[Rothmans]

Or just Jerk Off Your Tool.

Nah thats kinda gross..


We would all sound like perverts then.

[Darkness]

Thats why I said "nah".

[Kage]

Why not just "Spiral Out - The Tool Thread"

[Darkness]

Thats decent. Something Lateralus related would be nice... since its their best work. :p

[Kage]

Thats decent. Something Lateralus related would be nice... since its their best work. :p
That's what I was thinking...and "Spiral out" seems to be the one quote that represents Tool the best.

[Darkness]

Indeed... Perhaps "Spiral out to the Tool thread".




..to far again...

[Kage]

Maybe... "Go Where No One's Been"

That's kind of a cool, mysterious name for it.

[Darkness]

Yeah, how many characters can be in a thread title?

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

"Sober Hooker with a Tool; Hush! that's 4 Degrees Cooler than when you Pu**** with a Stinkfist"

[Darkness]

WAY to far. :p

[Rothmans]

"Sober Hooker with a Tool; Hush! that's 4 Degrees Cooler than when you Pu**** with a Stinkfist"

Lets not get ahead of ourselves.

[clearvision]

It needs to say tool, so people can get there...

...and you could just tag something along the end

Tool - be patient

Tool - spiral out

Tool - think for yourselves, question authority

Etc...and it would be nice if one of the regs had control of the first post...but to get that we'd need a new thread. I have a first page draft that i wrote a while back if we decide to change it or anything.

[Kage]

Can't a Mod just edit it in there? Granted, it'd be nice for a reg to just have control to edit it whenever he wanted, but we could still do that.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

'You lied about the cold and ugly prison sex you had with the sober hooker with a *****"

[Rothmans]

'You lied about the cold and ugly prison sex you had with the sober hooker with a *****"

Please stop.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Please stop.

But this is a part of me, you useful idiot.

[Kage]

Don't spread negative ions in here.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

:lol:

[Rothmans]

Don't spread negative ions in here.


:lol:

That was so cheesey and I was joking anyway.

[clearvision]

Yeah I'm sure a mod would do it.

FAQ

Please read/search this faq before posting. Most questions are answered here. Thanks to Kabir (the author) and toolshed (the host).
http://toolshed.down.net/faq/faq.html

Some of the regular questions posted - answered

When is the new album out?

We do not know at this present time, but believe me this will be one of the first places to hear about it. The only information on the album we have is from snippets of interviews with the band, and Blairs articles on Toolband (see useful links)


Which Album should i buy first?

The general COncensus with the order of buying the albums is Aenima-Lateralus-Undertow-Opiate-Salival . Aenima is one of the bands middle albums and shows most angles of the band.

Could you reccomend me some songs to download?

<Will wait for threads concensus>

[Kage]

That looks pretty good, we should do it.

[repcak]

"tool - Go Where No One's Been" is a good name.

why 'spiral out'? what has this to do with tool? can you explain?

alltogether i think we should summarize all proposals for a name and make a poll.... the proposal with most votes on, will win.

[Darkness]

Yeah that looks great.

[repcak]

we have now:
1) "Spiral Out - The Tool Thread"
2) "tool - Go Where No One's Been"
3) "Tool - be patient"
4) "Tool - think for yourselves, question authority"
5) "46 & tool"
6) tool
7) 'Thread with a *****' (thank you superpeer)
8) Toolology
9) "Jerk Off a Hooker With a Tool"

any further suggestion? then add them on the list and afterwards (let say tommorow ) we will vote

[Syncratic]

I like that one alot.

[Prince of Darkness]

Toology. I love it.

but we shouldn't dwell into the deep abyss of lameness

[Mr Herb]

for f u cks sake peeps, Tool, or the rock and metal tool thread or just the tool thread is very fine, lets stop the nonsense, lol. And there shoudnt be questions answered on the first page, that could take away more new memebers that could bring interesting discussion to this place. . .

[Syncratic]

Thread With A Pen1s officially gets my vote.

Although censoring it would suck.

[Prince of Darkness]

Just Tool. I hate that Rock & Metal's ****.

[BlindWriting]

"Spiral Out – The Tool Thread" or "Tool" are the best choices, IMO.

[Kage]

Yeah, my vote goes to "Spiral Out - The Tool Thread"

[TheSubtleArts]

I say Toolology or Tool

[Syncratic]

How about just:

"Spiral Out"

Huh?

[Mr Herb]

How about just:

"Spiral Out"

Huh?
