[clearvision]

I could do vocals if i had a mic cable, i need one of those :(

[Kurrpt]

i bought an awesome mic, and have YET to get use out of it

[MasterOfCeremonies]

i can do it..its one of their easier songs on bass

I agree, except for it's extremely hard, atleast in my experience to reproduce anything close to Justin's tone when he uses the whammy near the end.

[Moses]

Moses did, yeah.
I did but it sounded like I was singing out of a well.....

I also didn't do all of them either.

[Darkness]

I remember a heavily reverbed first line of part of me...

[Moses]

I'll do it if noone else will which was the same thing I said for the songs that I did do.

[..Jesus..]

whens the new album comin out?

[BlindWriting]

Came out yesterday.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

We're all just a bunch of silly ricks, aren't we?

[Darkness]

Came out yesterday.
Yeah, its kinda crappy though. Opiate is still their best work.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

lOL!!!1

[Prince of Darkness]

Yeah, its kinda crappy though. Opiate is still their best work.

Even though Tool failed in making a good album and a good dvd this year, they will always be close to my heart.











Confusing, isn't it? :lol:

[Darkness]

Nah, they sold out.

/sips coke

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Bunch of mainstream sell outs.

/steps out of SUV with beastie tee

Coke's overrated...

Not according to the nard.

[Dude3]

Well, I started jamming with my friend again. He's a guitarist. We are planning on starting a band, but now I'm a little iffy.

His guitar playing is ok and all, but he just can't write good guitar parts. I mean, they're really bad! He's writing lyrics too(which I may start too), and while they're ok, they're just kinda crappy in content. Its kinda like Slayer gone wrong. Yeah.....
And he's planning on singing, I can already foresee that he won't be able to sing and play guitar at the same time, let alone actually be a good singer. I wouldn't mind singing, if my voice was ok. Actually, it may work out if I sung. And wrote lyrics. And wrote all the guitar parts. And kick him out of the band.....

Anyways, I think I have a plan. I'm just going to write stuff without him, and make him learn it(just for now), keeping in mind that he can play it. I think somehow I'll take over vocal duties too.

Oh yeah, I played the intro to Tool's Lateralus for about 20 minutes straight today in guitar class. And I went to the pool, and hung out with this really hot chick. With her top off :eek:.

[Futuro]

We're all just a bunch of silly ricks, aren't we? my name isnt rick..

Yeah, its kinda crappy though. Opiate is still their best work. duh!

And I went to the pool, and hung out with this really hot chick. With her top off that same thing happened to me, but i found out it was a guy with bitch **** :eek:


that same thing happened to me, but i found out it was a guy with bitch **** :eek:/Reported :( stop spamming FAITH!

[lpdude0690]

I have heard just a few of tool's songs and I can already tell that they just seem like cool guys that are in it just for making good music, not for money or fame as a top priority. I still don't know too much about tool as i just started listening to them, but i do need to get more into them. They are very deep and thought provoking and just has an awesome vibe to them. Great for cranking it in the car :thumb: By the way, i hope this isnt spam.

[BlindWriting]

Nope, not spam at all, and welcome to the thread.

[One Groovin Clown]

A new tool fan is always welcomed. Hope you stay and learn a little.

[Cthulhu.Midian]

Anyone out there listen to Deftones. While recording White Pony Maynard watched and gave advice here and there. Chino was having trouble recording the song Passenger and Maynard decided to give an example. Chino thought Maynard hit the song dead on and decided that it'd sound better if they both sung it and even let Maynard right his own chorus and all. The song is awesome if some of you haven't heard it already.

[3074326]

Passenger is my favorite Deftones song. Maynard's vocals in that song are so powerful. I love what Tool's members (or even the band as a whole) can do to other bands' songs.

For example - I've rediscovered my love for the No Quarter cover. Such a great song.

Passenger is one of the main reasons i listen to White Poney, even though that cd is amazing.

[clearvision]

Teenager > Passenger... :eek: Blasphemous.

[Sleeper]

Teenager is another song i adore from that album. I think Team Sleep should of done that song instead though.

[no more tearss]

Hey. The Tool Theory is very interesting. I found out that the Lateralus album was inspired by another theory to do with planet X. If u havent heard about this go and find it out. Crazy ****. Also with the whole using your brain thing, there is a special code playlist in lateralus that if u play the tracks in a different order correctly it like opens your eyes to sum other message. Havent tried it yet but I am dying to although it does freak me out a bit. Dunno why just that feeln you get with listening to tool, you know? Maynards lyrics are the most thought provoking i've come across and i won't even try explaining his songs. Am not sure if they are fully meant to be explained but good luck trying. There is a site sumwhere about tool theorys i cant remember what it is but if u type planet x and tool you'll get there. Lets hope for a continuation of this good thread.

Sorry if this wasnt what you were lookin for.opens a new message to your weyes dude wtf that makes no sense and tis not possible seriously go to get a reality check

[Prince of Darkness]

Holy Sh!t. I haven't really posted here in a while. I don't even have to ask. i know nothing new happened.

The funny thing is, he's probably thinking the exact same thing about you..Hehe

[Dude3]

The funny thing is, he's probably thinking the exact same thing about you..Hehe
You know what? You're probably right.

Honestly though, I'm not trying to sound like an a-hole, but I do have tiny bit more talent than him. His songwriting skill just totally lacks in my opinion. For him, his song structures are all the same: Intro-verse-chorus-verse or solo-outro. He listens to good music, so you's think his riffs and all would be great, but he's just kinda lost. He's been playing for about 2 years, so he should know what he's doing. And while his style is WAY different than mine, his playing is just terrible for even his own style.

I'll write some songs, and see what he thinks. Either he'll love it(I'm a good guitar player[I feel like an a-hole again when I say that], he thinks I'm amazing), or he'll just completely disregard it because its too hard or technical.

[Knifeboy]

Hehe, I don't doubt that you're a good player, it wasn't a stab at you.. It just reminds me of myself a few years back, me and another guitarist thought the exact same thing about each other when we played together.. And hey! Now we're in a band, and both respect each other immensively.. (he's the sickest down picker I've ever seen.. He plays blackened at about 40 bpm faster than the actual song? All down picked, ouch.. And the fact that I can alt. pick, impresses him.. Hehe..)

[Dude3]

Nah man, no offence taken! I thought you were pretty much right in a way. That reminds me, Blackened is a a friken awesome song. I haven't listened to the Justice album in ages, and its my favorite.

For the most part, I'm just complaining that he couldn't write an "ok" song if his life depended on it. And while I know that I can take over vocal, lyrics, and guitar writing completely, I'm pretty sure he won't want me to do it. And the second I write something good, it will be me playing the whole song, because he wont be able to play it. He better get practicing.

This also really blows, because I <3(heh, why not?) guitar harmonies.

[Prince of Darkness]

Does anyone have a Danny Carey drum solo for me? I want one with video, if anyone has one. Thanks

[Darkness]

I have 1:50 audio one...

[Prince of Darkness]

yah, I've got that one, but is it Video? mine isn't video...

[Darkness]

I believe I said audio.

[Huber]

No video, but on the Volto! Myspace there is a sick solo.

[Prince of Darkness]

I believe I said audio.

My God, Am I blind? Sorry.

Aren't you like 14 year olds or something? (I'm sorry if I'm way off on this, haha, it's never good to get someones age wrong).. If you are, you got plenty of time to work with him.. Give the guy 6 months to improve or something.. Write some not too tricky, but still harder than he can play, lines.. And try to make him improve!.. It's way easier to get better when you're in a band

[Huber]

My God, Am I blind? Sorry.

I don't remember which song it is, just listen I guess.

My songs just don't have any structure.. hehe

Move to Denmark and we have a deal

[Dude3]

Yep, I'm 14. I'll try working with him. Hopefully he'll improve, as well as me. If not, we can always still jam. I should meet the right musicians down the road. Actually, I do have a person in mind. His name is Lucky, and he's pretty much the best guitarist I've met. He sucks at solos for the most part, but his riffage is just..... :amaze:
I really need to start a band with him. He has his own recording studio(somehow, he got $10,000 worth of equipment for free), and he has connections.....with James Murphy(omgz, I no, right?!!). He already has his own band, but we're planning on doing a lot of covers of Death and this band called Foreign Objects(I did a write up, I'll find it). That should be fun.

Faith, where in Florida do you live? I forgot.

EDIT: Here's that write up-

http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=359030&highlight=Foreign+objects

Seriously, check this band out. I personally love them.

[Knifeboy]

That sounds great.. Good luck with that!
I'm hoping to meet a better band down the line too, some day.. But as for now, I won't complain, I'm in a band, with a bunch of great guys, and they're all dedicated, and we work great together.. Who cares if we don't play the kind of music I write when I'm alone, when I'm having a great time eh? hehe

[Futuro]

Faith, where in Florida do you live? I forgot. a little place called tampon....i mean tampa :(

Oh yeah. I live relatively close, in Brandon(Home of Cannibal Corpse if I'm right. I find that cool for some reason.)

[mudvayne420]

i think i may have a clue about what lateralus is about.
I think it could be about someone opening their eyes and having piece of mind. And is able to view the world, now with a clearer vision of where we're going in this Messed up World.
Thats my 2 cents on the lateralus album as a whole.

[Artemician]

My band has no problem with musician talent, it's just that we've been going nowhere fast for the last year or so. Ironic, no?

[Huber]

I'm seeing VOLTO! on the 28th. Woohoo!

The "WP Excerpt Live" clip on there Myspace is amazing.

Don't you hate it when you write a riff, and then you notice its already a song?

I just wrote the first electric riff for Opeth's "The Funeral Portrait". I've also done this for the main riff in "Sunshine of your Love". I should be rich.

Yeah so, if that whole "release date" thing was real, the new Tool cd would have been in stores next Monday. I just thought I'd say that.

I remember rumors about Tool releasing the new album in early 2005. Haha

I don't expect it until this time next year.

[Darkness]

Maybe a little earlier, like March - June.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Man, **** Tool. I'm leaving.

[Syncratic]

Well....Tool are considered progressive, and some great Prog. bands are The Mars Volta, Porcupine Tree, Opeth, and Radiohead.

Also, Tool were influenced by King Crimson, so I think that'd be a good band to check out.

Same here, we're all like classically or jazz trained, we just can't get anywhere.

A few pretty good shows are coming to my city soon and this is after Gigantour and Dredg:

SLIPKNOT
CHILDREN OF BODOM
AUDIOSLAVE
AVENGED SEVENFOLD
BLACK LABEL SOCIETY
GWAR
MESHUGGAH
KMFDM
PORCUPINE TREE
LES CLAYPOOL
MIKE JONES / TWISTA (threw that one in for laughs, although Twista would be cool)

[Otherside]

Swing and a miss!

:upset:

Seriously though, if I had to recommend one band it would be Dredg. Or you couuld follow Allmusic.com and say bands like: Korn, Filter, White Zombie, Rage Against the Machine, Godsmack, Rammstein, and Breaking Benjamen.

I just never really saw the connection between Dredg and Tool. I can see influences from them in Dredg's sound, yes, and maybe similar writing styles or outlooks back in the Leitmotif days, but beyond that, I never saw it.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Yeah, but it seems that every Tool fan also likes Dredg. Therefore, all musical relations are thrown out the window. :p

Oh hi, I'm back.

[Darkness]

I've never heard Dredg... :(

Welcome back, its been a whole 12 posts since you've been gone. :lol:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Yeah, I know. It was a lame attempt at boycotting Tool. :upset:

[Kage]

Yeah, but it seems that every Tool fan also likes Dredg. Therefore, all musical relations are thrown out the window. :p

Oh hi, I'm back.
I was actually about to edit that into my post. It seems like there's some kind of triangle between Tool, Dredg and Deftones.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

And Porcupine Tree, too.

This is pretty unrelated, but since some Tool fans are also Arcturus fans, here goes: I'm learning Nightmare Heaven from The Sham Mirrors. Fun to play. :-D

Too bad the fag tab I got for it doesn't even have the solo.

[Kage]

I once went on an Arcturus binge, but their songs aren't all that satisfying to play on guitar, from my experience, since there's so much going on around the guitars that makes the song what it is.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Yeah, it's like that in most cases. There are a couple cool riffs in Nightmare Heaven, though. :shrug:

[Kage]

Didn't mean to discourage you from learning the songs, because they are often very fun to play :)

Nah, no one really does. My guess is probably in the spring, but who knows. They might say tomorrow when the album is coming out, when their new single is getting released, the names, etc. It might come out around Christmas time, we don't really know.

oh alrite....well thanks anyways man you're probably right.

Studio or Salival? I love both, its hard to compare though... they produce different atmospheres.

[Huber]

The last few minutes of studio Salival are amazing.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

I actually haven't heard the Salival. Could someone send it?

[Darkness]

Really? Whoa... I'll send over MSN, if you wish.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

any1 have AIM?

[Huber]

I do, but I don't have live Pu****.

[Dude3]

I'm thinking the album will be a late spring/summer release for next year. We'll probably hear a single before then though. I can't wait.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Heh. Well, I'm asking for live Push!t.

[Huber]

Heh. Well, I'm asking for live Push!t.

Yeah, I'm just bored beyond all reason.

I'm getting Opiate today. I'll finally hear it.

Opiate is just a very solid borderline metal album. Very fun to listen to.

Part of Me and Cold and Ugly get frequent listens from me.

But I can assure you, in a few weeks...

Aenema>Lateralus

It's always like that.

Albums or songs? I'm assuming you mean albums, but in that case, it's "Ænima."

[Prince of Darkness]

OMG, I always thought the song name was Aenima and the album Aenema. I think it is.

[Killtacular]

No sir.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Aenema is about the negatives of LA and a lot of things. Thus, the "enema" or cleansing of those things. Aenima is the album. Thus "anima" meaning soul...a good title for an album. It's a pun.

But yeah...can someone send me Push!t live?

What's the code thing so that you can put a video in your MYspace? I forgot. Its like the code for the media player, and then ou insert a URL in it, and WAllAA!

Its somewhere in this thread. Somewhere in these 795 pages...............

Anybody?

EDIT: Nevermind, I found it. :p


Oh shi, oh shi......DILEMA!!

[Dude3]

Meh, I'll leave the other vid on now. I'm addicted to that song at the moment. Tool will have to wait.

I just though I'd bring this up:
I live in Brandon, Florida(near Tampa), and we have some weird weather warning out right now. Its "...AIR STAGNATION ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 9 PM EDT SUNDAY... AN AIR STAGNATION ADVISORY MEANS THAT CONDITIONS EXIST TO TRAP POLLUTION NEAR THE GROUND. THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION COMMISSION OF HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY HAS MEASURED AN INCREASE IN PARTICULATE LEVELS. RESIDENTS WITH HEART OR LUNG DISEASE... OLDER ADULTS AND CHILDREN SHOULD REDUCE PROLONGED OR HEAVY EXERTION TODAY. "

I just went outside, and its a lot harder to breathe. Almost as if it were intensely humid outside. And it smells! Also, my throat feels a little tightened, and my eyes were getting a little irritated. The world is coming to an end!

[HighOnFire666]

Just read the FAQ about them, it will svae your time. The thing about tool songs is, everyones usually wrong about thier interpretations of the songs. They are really smart dudes and you would probably have to study a lot of different occult type books to truely understand everything they are talking about. I try to find out what the song is about form the band, cuz its their song and I want to know what they are actually righting about. Most of the songs aren't even that hard at all to figure out, u really just have to know what they are about and a lot of their history. their new cd is going to rule. Also, i am getting the eyeflame tattoo'ed on my inner arm. Tool rules!

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

What do you think Lateralus is about?

Also, Maynard has said that he never tells anyone what the songs are about because he wants his fans to form their own interpretations, therefore, there is really no known right or wrong answer. :)

[HighOnFire666]

can someone post the parabola code, ill put it on my mysapce! i

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

What do you think Lateralus is about?

Also, Maynard has said that he never tells anyone what the songs are about because he wants his fans to form their own interpretations, therefore, there is really no known right or wrong answer. :)

I think the whole thing with the Fibonacci sequence goes a bit further. "Lateralus" seems to follow the Golden Ratio also. I took the bar that the first chorus starts on, and multiplied it by 1.61803399 (Phi) and I got the bar number that starts the part after the second chorus. I seriously doubt that that was unintentional. Also, it has been noted that a lot of music features the climax of a song at 61.8% (Golden Section) into it, especially a lot of classical music. 61.8% into Lateralus (the album) is in "Lateralus" (the song), during the soft breakdown part, at the point where Maynard starts singing about "bathing in the fountains", etc. Just something I noticed today. Anyone else ever read about Phi, the Golden Ratio, Fibonacci sequence, and other stuff like that? I find it absolutely fascinating how so much in this life follows the ratio and is related to the same types of patterns. It's so strange to think about it.

Man, think how hard it was to manipulate the song, and the entire album for it to come out like that. :-/ I'm guessing they've got something even bigger and better for us on this next album.

Ticks & Leeches
Lateralus

I know lots of other bits and peices(including most of The Patient, Parabol/a, and Schism), but those are the songs that I could more or less play live.

[Darkness]

I know bits and peices of almost every Tool song... the only full songs I've learned are The Patient, Lateralus and Ticks & Leeches.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

I usually just know bits and pieces of songs. I think I know atleast one guitar riff to most of the stuff on Aenema and Lateralus. I have trouble remembering some of the solos and the timing to them, such as in Lateralus. I can play through Lateralus, but the solos may not be note for note, but pretty **** close. I can play through The Patient and Parabol/Parabola also. Ticks and Leeches, I just don't like playing the bridge so I'll never really know if I can play through it all. The Grudge's timing at times, throws me off. I don't know all the parts to Schism yet. Disposition/Reflection/Triad, I never learned.

I've been posting less too but that's mostly because I've been with my girlfriend.

[Futuro]

with drumming you can half *** a drum part and get it close enough, but as far as being able to play good, probably everything from undertow, and the easier compositioned parts of Aenima and lateralus.

[Darkness]

You used us man.

Maybe because the rock & metal forum is a fiery pit of demon spawn, and it takes a banhappy mod to keep it running properly

[Steerpike]

I'll take that as a compliment to be mistaken for a mod.

I browsed a couple pages of the thread because Moses mentioned all the discussion of mysticism. So far I've seen a lot of sacred math. Not exactly my forte

<----(is more of a mythology sort of guy)

Truth be told, I've been casually listening to Tool for a while, but only just recently started actually listening to them.

As usual, questions or comments can be sent to davidthorpe@somethingawful.com, and they will be read and magnanimously smiled upon, unless you’re a retard, like this guy:

I'm a Tool fan and I dont think that myself and my fellow Tool fans are better than everyone else because listen to and understand Tool. Were not potheads, we don't think that because we listen to too, it makes us smarter, get a LIFE. You're opinions are meaningless and so is this e-mail, but I'm bored okay?

By the way, learn to spell Tool songs right, Forty Six & 2 not 46 and 2, retard, all your opinions are meaningless, nobody cares about what you write, and I think many would agree with me, which means, you're outnumbered. Good job loser.

The reason they make most of their music pointless is, A) They are stoned when they write their music, B) In order to enjoy their style of music, which you don't, you have to put pointless **** into their music, its very philosophical.

Get your research done correctly by asking people what they think of Tool, not by BLOWING YOUR ****TY OPINIONS OUT OF YOUR ***.

Good Day to you sir.

Sorry Steerpike. I kind of forgot to specify but we talk about things like Lucid Dreaming and Astral Projection. You know, like Merkaba's thread.

[Steerpike]

That's better. Something I can actually take in.

I tried reading up on sacred math at one point, and maybe it was the context it was presented in, but it bored me to tears.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I want to see a connection between all of this sacred geometry, and why it's included in Lateralus, a song about astral projection.

Okay, well Steerpike, what do you think about Lucid Dreaming and Astral Projection and things like that? That is if you're still on.

[Expresso]

I was at a little festival downtown and there was this shop that had Alex Grey books on display at the front. Sacred geometry, all that jazz. I woulda picked one up but I didn't have the time or the monay.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I really like a lot of Alex Grey's artwork. A lot of it looks similiar, but he really has an extremely unique style. (Duh)

Moses- Have you ever tried Lucid dreaming, or projecting?

[Darkness]

I really, really want to try projecting... I may try Lucid dreaming tonight, but I have no idea how to start.

[Steerpike]

Okay, well Steerpike, what do you think about Lucid Dreaming and Astral Projection and things like that? That is if you're still on.

I'm actually attempting to start lucid dreaming next week.

The trick discussed in the thread over at Politics was to make a habit of drawing a black dot on your palm and periodically look at it. Eventually, that habit will carry over into your dreams and when you don't see it, you'll realize you're dreaming.

I figure if nothing else, it'll give me a nice mental theater to rehearse my *ahem* social skills.

[Moses]

I actually thought I was going to project once. It was during the summer and I felt all the sensations you're supposed to feel but I pulled myself out of it. I haven't tried Lucid Dreaming yet but I think I'll look into it.

Also Steerpike I remember reading about that dot trick.

Steerpike, I asked in teh *seether* thread if you liked Tool. Well, do you?

[Knifeboy]

All I know about lucid dreaming is, that ever since the first time I read an article about it (I think, a little more than a year ago), I've remembered several dreams every night.... Some of them seeming more than several days long.. It's quite scary at times..

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I tried doing the whole dot thing, but I got sick of looking at it..:-/ I'm not tr00 to my cause, heh.

[Moses]

My significant other is a really mystic person and she has a passion for fantasy and things of that sort. She said sometimes she makes a story up in her head before she goes to sleep and then has a dream of it that night if she really tries hard enough. I mean she doesn't do this often but it has happened before.

Well I'm off to meditation and bed.

[Steerpike]

Mostly the most well-known songs, the easiest to get ahold of. Schism, Parabola, that sort of thing.

[Darkness]

Get The Grudge, that song is just so awesome... Lateralus to.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Hey,i have a question bout lucid dreaming, Iv done it(weather intentionaly or not) and found that though im aware im dreaming in most circumstances i find i have no real control so for any of those who have achived it did yea find this aswell?

Partially lucid. Most people have plenty of those. I just had my first lucid dream in recent recollection, and I basically had complete control. Changing the environment, making my own actions, etc..

Alex- Glad to see you're starting to like them. You should try to download all of Lateralus. :)

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

I can play any Tool song on my guitar. (doubt I could on drums). Hell, I wouldn't have a prayer on the drums. I can't play complex polyrythms.

Alex- Glad to see you're starting to like them. You should try to download all of Lateralus.

Opiate - aggressive rock bordering on metal
Undertow - dark, haunting rock with poor recording quality
Aenima - ambient hard rock/ prog
Lateralus - hard prog rock all the way

This is my non-biased take on all of their albums. Now with that said, Aenima is my favorite because I feel that the longer/ambient tracks are more enjoyable than the longer/ambient tracks on Lateralus. Push!t and THird Eye are better than, say, Reflection and Lateralus IMO.

[Kage]

Was it just completely awesome? Or not really any big deal? I seem to suck at this kind of stuff..I've been trying to lucid dream for a couple weeks with no results. One time, I was dreaming, and I kept looking at the clock and the time would be substantially different each time I looked at it. And I said to myself, "hey, I"m dreaming, I'm dreaming, I'm dreaming" at which point I felt myself begin to wake up, followed by a weird sensation of spiraling downward into a portal (think Alice in Wonderland or something), and then I woke up on the floor screaming. The screaming could've been in the dream, but it felt like I actually screamed.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I almost cried in mine. Here's what I remember

I killed a guy 13 times, because my parents told me to do so, or so I thought. After I killed him, I went back to my parents, and they told me I was only supposed to give him nitrous(laughing gas), which incidentally was the last way I killed him. Then, I told myself to wake up, and I did, but I still had that lingering feeling of "oh crap, I killed a guy!" Then I woke up again. I was having a lucid dream within a dream, I guess.

[Kage]

Haha, that's some dream. I know exactly what you mean by that "lingering feeling." I usually have that right after I wake up from a dream. It can work in the other direction, too, like "awesome, I can't wait to see my really hot and cool girlfriend."

And then...not.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

:lol: I'd rather have a bad lingering feeling, because the realization that your dream wasn't real once you awake is really quite the kick to the nuts. :-/

I had a dream I found a bunch of gold once. How greedy am I? :p

[Kage]

Hahaha. I've had the dream a couple times where I kill someone as well. Then I wake up, and I know that I'll be going to jail in a few hours and have to face my family. :lol:

I really want to lucid dream, though, damn it!

[Steerpike]

I can only remember my dreams occassionally. And I'll tell you, it's pretty ****ed up.

The most recent one was last spring. I was getting all psyched because I had just seen the trailer for Land of the Dead, and that night I had a dream that I was on the set for a Romero zombie movie. It was in a hospital waiting room, then the zombies broke in and turned out to be real zombies instead of actors.

When I found that out, I ran like hell and hid in a bathroom stall. The crazy thing is, it worked and the zombies left without noticing me.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Go to bed early, seriously. Twice last week, I went to bed at like 7:30-8 and I had lucid dreams both nights. If you have more time to rest your mind, you have more of an opportunity to be half-awake and thus lucid dream.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Also, talking about it, and reading about it will give you a higher probability of making something happen. Yesterday, I talked and read about a bunch of metaphysical stuff, and poof, I had a lucid dream. :)

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

I wonder if smoking weed has any effect on lucid dreaming?

[Futuro]

I control dreams all the time, I had one where Kuppa was stealing my bike on top of Walmart. But the Mario Bros. Pop'd out of a tube on the top of Walmart (they even made the "bwitahbwitah" sound. So anyway I turned into rambo "looking like a mix between NES and movie" and started bustin caps in Koopa till he handed over my bike.....Than my mom woke me up.

When i was younger i REALLY wanted to go on "bozo the clown show", so i dreamed i was a contestant. A month later....i got on the show in real life :O it was amazing, I even got his autograph :eek:

[Txus]

I had one last week, All of a sudden I was in this musky hotel-like room. There was another person in there. I don't know how I knew, but this was a bad person. Next I believe that I shot him, or someone did, but I have no recollection of this act, but it'll make a little more sense in another line or two.

The person is lying dead on the bed, at least I thought he was dead. All of a sudden the body moves. I take a step towards it and it starts to move more. I get freaked THEN it sits up and starts doin' some Evil Dead-ish stuff & that's when I can't take it anymore.

I start to run out of the room. On my way out, I see an end table with a GUN & a pack of cigarettes on it. I remember thinking, "I should really grab that gun." But I kept on running out of the room & down the long hall.

Now remember, I'm still dreaming at this point.

I get half-way down the hall when I hear the commotion coming out of the room I just left in my wake.

I was so effen scared that I remember thinking very clearly, "THIS IS SO ****IN' SCARY THAT IT CANNOT BE REAL!!!!!"

Instantly, I'm lucid dreaming. The commotion is gone, the demon is gone, my fear of anything is gone...all in a flash.

I continue to run down the hall though, cuz it seemed fun. I reach the end of the hall & come to a stairway. I believe that I was on the fourth floor. I looked at the steps & decided to JUMP all the way down the middle of the stairs. I land like a cat. I open the exit door and run down the street. All this time, all I really can see is down at my feet. For some reason I really can't look up. So I make it two, three blocks & wake up.

[Syncratic]

I'd really like to try these things, but the weekends would have to be the only time.

[Kage]

Txus, that sounds like a lot of fun...I want to lucid dream really badly. The possibilites seem endless.

[Kage]

I think the first time I was entering lucidity, I got too excted/scared and woke up before I was fully lucid. I remember just being very afraid as I felt that spiraling feeling (as stated in one of my previous posts) and my body just knocked awake.

Kage, you're totally going to have a lucid dream tonight. I mean, all of this talk, you're bound to have one something, y'know? :)

Wow, talk about a thread tangent. I guess this is at least partially Tool related, as Tool delve into metaphysics in a number of their songs. :p

[Moses]

I meditated for the first time in a while before I went to bed last night. I might make it a ritual to work out, meditate, and then go to sleep and try to lucid dream or project.

I've lucid dream't but I can't remember what it was like. It was somthing like Txus's though.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

It seems like us Tool fans are really into gorey things, for some reason. Death, killing, zombies, etc...:p

[Knifeboy]

Aah.. I hate it when I wake up from a dream that feels so real that I get the "aww, it wasn't real?" feeling.. It happens way too much...

[Moses]

I wasn't talking about the death aspect necessarily because I don't remember it, just the controlling/realization part. I was jumping around and stuff.

The lingering feelings are wierd though. I mean it's like you're actually affected by it and just sometimes makes you feel horrible.

My friend said he had a dream where we were playing tag with javelins.......

[Steerpike]

Are any of you familiar with H.P. Lovecraft or Robert Jordan?

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

I've read some of Lovecraft's stuff. He's definitely very eccentric. I love the creatures he comes up with.

[Steerpike]

I'm thinking more of his Dream Cycle. Stories like "The White Ship," "Beyond the Wall of Sleep," and "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath."

And in bringing up Robert Jordan, I'm thinking of the Wheel of Time series.

In both cases, there's a dream world.

It was The Wheel of Time in particular which rekindled my interest in lucid dreaming. Several of the characters in the book are capable of entering a dream world while they sleep which perfectly mirrors the real world, but allows you to reshape yourself and reality (to an extent) around you.

[Kage]

Lovecraft and I share a fascination with dream worlds. King is my preferred author, though, even though I realize the two are quite different, King is obviously influenced by Lovecraft in more than one way.

I haven't read as much Lovecraft as I should, so I'll look into the stories you're talking about.

[Knifeboy]

Lovecraft stories are a tough read.. But his ideas are really genious, so it's worth it

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

There's nothing better than reading mind-bending fiction... I've found that it has expanded, in my mind, the possibilities of reality. As ironic as that sounds, it does help you respect unexplained energies that do not exist in the laws of nature. It probably shouldn't have that type of effect on me due to the lack of scientific base of it, but it works nonetheless, I feel.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I need to check out some of that stuff. Sounds great. Wheel of Time sounds like a good place to start. Maybe I'll ask my mom to swing by the library and look for something of that kind.

[Steerpike]

Wheel of Time is actually high fantasy.

[Huber]

I love Lovecraft. I've read the short Stories book. Some of the best stuff I've ever read.

The Outsider is brilliant.

[clearvision]

It seems like us Tool fans are really into gorey things, for some reason. Death, killing, zombies, etc...:p

No most of my lucid dreams involve relationships, or just doing ordianry things like cycling and stuff. I think they normally happen because i spend hours thinking just before i go to bed about all the stuff that eneds thinking about, and it kinda just merges into the dream. It's quite annoying when the dream feels so realistic though, they difinateley affect me IRL.

[Mizuzack]

I've never listened to Tool before. What do they sound like and what's a good introduction album?

[clearvision]

Hmm, they are a hard rock/prog metal band. They could be compared to bands like chevelle, who play less technical/spacey versions of the tool sound. But they can also be compared to bands like Dredg who create great atmosphere in their music.

I'd reccomend Aenima as a starter album and most of this thread will agree.

But it is difficult to say what tool soud like because there are really no other bands like them.

I've lucid dreamed before on a few occasions, but I have a terrible sleeping pattern anyway, and suffer from mild insomnia sometimes. Being half awake and half asleep is sometimes pretty easy for me. Especially on a morning when I go back to sleep after being woken up too early.

I havn't had an actual lucid dream for a while though.

This dreaming stuff, I'm highly suspecious of people who say they can control it. I know some people have been known to lucid dream every night, but I think it's just how their psychological state is made up, most people simply can't, and some people will never lucid dream. Or should I say, at least remember lucid dreaming.

I gave up on meditation years ago for being too hokey, even though I had a weird experience with it. Although I think that may have been due to lack of oxygen, I think I actually stopped breathing and had a weird little vision thing. I felt like I was floating slightly, but it definately felt due to oxygen loss rather than anything internal or mystical.

My coolest lucid dreams that I can remember are.. being able to turn into different animals, ie: My dog, and then a crow, and flying around. And realising I was dreaming and flying around my neighbourhood and being really strong and stuff.

Edit: To the guy who said he couldn't look up while waking up from his dream, I know the feeling. At first, you're in this dream world that dosn't feel like you've constructed it. And as you're waking up, you start to be able to manipulate yourself within it, and I guess the world itself, though by that point, I feel like I'm imagining the world and creating it in my head anyway, and can feel my body in the real world, etc. and it becomes less vivid. One the control shifts from your unconscious to your conscious you come back to reality. Somewhere in between is just nice, though.

Also, is it just me, or does Maynard sound like the singer from Incubus in the song Eulogy?

He sounds more like Maynard. :p Actually, I really have no clue how you hear that similarity. Oh, how I hate Brandon Boyd.

Boyd's voice is the voice of 1000 headaches.

Maynard's is eargasmic.

I really like Incubus, and there vocalist. :confused:

On the records his voice is fine. I really love Make Yourself and SCIENCE...

But live, I was forced to take large amounts of tylenol to tolerate his voice.

I love Brandon Boyd's voice. It think what you guys dislike is the vocal harmonies. He's a really **** good singer, better than Maynard in my opinion, just not as cool sounding.

ATTN: I now have the coolest name for my band!!! Lucid Dreams.

How about Moses and His Delusional Band of Lucid Dreamers? :D

:upset:

Don't frown, that was a great idea.

/chuckles
Think he bought it?

edit:

Just a random memory. I recall someone tellingme one time that Adam hates it when Tool is called metal. Is there proof of this somewhere?

No I think what I don't like about Brandon Boyd's voice is the whiny quality it has, and how he's sharp and flat all over and can't match the quality of Incubus' records.

I've seen him say something akin to that, but that's not entirely accurate. Hold on, let me see if I can dig up the quote I have. It was more like, he thought it was lame that people saw them exclusvely as a metal band or something like that, not that he hated being called metal.


EDIT: Here it is...
"When we did Opiate, we picked our heaviest songs. People went, 'Oh, you're a metal band,' and I thought that was kind of lame. We try to branch off into different directions. We try to touch base with all our influences."

Whether that's what someone was referring to or not, it doesn't imply that Jones hates being called metal, only that he thinks the band is more than that.

Oh okay. That sounds more like something one of the member's would say.
