Give it a day or two, then change it.

And you didn't explain why the "distinct possibility" of Tool touring with Isis will actually be a reality. Or were you just saying you want it to be a reality?

All signs seem to point to yes. Blair sort of said that a mini-tour is going to happen with Isis opening for Tool. It was really one of the few times he wasn't cryptic with an interesting new bit of info. Also, the members of Isis have visited Tool in the studio and been in contact with them.

[ThePatient]

Hmm... small tour. Sounds like I'd have to be doing some traveling to see them, but oh well. Hopefully they'd hit DC, which would be easy enough.

And I'll blame you when my spirit is crushed when this never happens. :p

Actually, I haven't heard a single whole Isis song. I hear they're similar to Neurosis, which I like a little.

Neurosis are better.

[Darkness]

Yeah, I don't care for Isis at all... I'd rather see them go with Meshuggah again, or something.

[Rothmans]

Nah Isis is great they would be both excellent to see together I would prefer Neurosis but being a fanboy I would probably say neurosis blew tool of the stage. :/

[ThePatient]

I've never actually heard Neurosis, any suggestions?

I'd love to see Meshuggah with Tool, but they may bring out the idiots like SOAD fans at a Mars Volta concert. :-/

[Darkness]

Opeth + Tool would still be the ultimate for me.

[ThePatient]

Oh of course, but I have to think that's out of the question. But yeah, that would be incredible.

[Darkness]

Out of the question? why? Its possible.. I doubt Tool even knows who Opeth are, though.

[ThePatient]

I can't see someone not knowing who Opeth is. I mean they're a pretty bug band now. I'd say its really unlikely since they just did that big tour over the summer, and now they're doing their own tour (which I'm missing, twice).

[Darkness]

Heh, I saw them during Sounds of the Underground. Best day of my life. :D

Off topic, but since they're like Meshuggah, I'll share. I saw A Life Once Lost in a tiny bar on Wednesday, and they were incredible. I really expected them to be messy and sloppy, but they were perfect. Unfotunately Dillnger came on later and blew them away.

[Darkness]

A Life Once Lost.. Meshuggah... :confused:

I saw them live to, they were NOTHING like Meshuggah dude.

[ThePatient]

I'd say so. They have the same sort of sound, just not as awesome. They do the same repetitive guitar riffs that Meshuggah does. I don't know how to describe them while typing, but you know what I'm talking about. Maybe...

i've just figured out something on lateralus, well its like another alternative order..what i did was in Cool Edit Pro i got the songs and tried the Holy gift order, but it didn't sound right. Then i found another order, the one from that aiden dude, and i combined them to form my order of Lateralus which is 6,7,5,1,8,4,9,13,3,10,11,2,12 nice how DRT are still together you'll see why later...but in order to do it you must have either cool edit pro or adobe audition in order for it to work...alrighty first whenever
parabol(a) ends like at 8:36 thats when you start schism, when done right the last guitar part fits in perfectly with the hammer ons in schism. Then when the last note of the drums hits you start The Grudge, if you listen closely you can hear the intro to the grudge whenever schisms about to end. You then do the same for ticks and leeches. now heres the tricky part, you split ticks and leeches in half, exactly when the Soft part ends. Whenever the last note is played start Mantra, then start lateralus at about :16 in. then 9:13 in lateralus start Faaip De Oaid. the distortion at the end of lateralus should fade into the static at the beginning of FDO. next right when Faaip De Oaid ends start the patient. then at 6:41 into the patient start Disposition, the bass in the patient should kinda synchronize with the bass in disposition, lastly 10:06 into reflection you start Eon blue apocalypse, with triad coming in when eon blue ends with the strum. Finally at the end of triad you start The last half of ticks and leeches Bringing the Album Lateralus to a close.

With this i found that Lateralus is about someone finding inner peace, He first realizes that hes not alone ,parabol(a), then he seems to have trouble bringing the pieces to fit(schism), he then starts having grudges trying to bring them together and remembers in order to be in peace he has to let the grudges go(the grudge), he lets them out by using anger(hence the reason why ticks and leeches is an angry mood) and then comes closer to having piece(the mellow part), after being cleansed he starts meditating(mantra), lateralus explains him meditating and at the end spirals closer to god then hearing Faaip De Oaid, this is where he learns to become patient. He then has thoughts if he can wait it out, But has a disposition at the last second.
HE then comes to realize that we are reflections of some other being, like the moons light is only a reflection of the sun, so he destroys his ego and begins his apocalypse. In triad he HAS begun a journey to inner peace. THe ending which is the heavy part of ticks and leeches says to everyone that HE Has become closer to inner peace and wheter they like it or not it's what they're getting, which he then recieved.

This is my interpretation of the album Lateralus by tool if you have an opinion or need help about it just email me at parabol87004@aol.com. i'll be doing intrerpretations of individual songs later, but rihgt now i',m tired so LAterz/

that is an interesting theory and it obviously took a while but in all seriousness, you can do that with any songs on lateralus, practically all of them are in the key of D so they will all run into each other well.

maybe im just not seeing it but I doubt the band intended that order.

well done anyway.

I'd put money on it that Tool know Opeth. Especially given the fact that the members of Opeth love Lateralus.

I see a lot of similarities between Lateralus and Blackwater Park. A lot of repetition, reocurring riffs. Both are great albums, though.

I'll start by saying I facking love Tool. I had no idea what music could be until I listened to them.
I still can't remember how I even got into them, I think it was a fluke chance that I found a song and the craze went from there. Either way I'm damn lucky :p

Well, hello again :)

My brother told me they had a new song, so I sat down and listened to it, and I remember being completely taken by surprise.

Sober got me into the band but the first album I bought of theirs was Aenima, which is still my favorite Tool album. Lateralus is definitely the second best, but doesn't has as nice of a texture as Aenima IMO, although the production is probably better.

But yeah, the key songs that got me into them were: 1 Sober, 2 Stinkfist, and 3 Schism...the obvious ones.

Pretty much, the exact same hing with me. I heard Sober on the radio, and it was one of those few songs that caught my attention, and I tracked it down to see who it was by(I did the same with Man in the Box by Alice in Chains, and Self-Esteem by Offspring[Yea, I like it. What?]).

I bought Aenima, and the rest was history. I think I still somewhat prefer Aenima, but Lateralus is coming very close to taking over.

[something erotic]

Actually it was Lateralus for me.

If that was the first song I heard, I probably wouldn't be a fan. I just don't think it was a good song to start off with/get into first.

Haha, we've got the exact same story here. I first heard Man In The Box in some movie a long time ago and it got me interested in AiC. Then i heard songs like Would?, Rooster, I Stay Away, and Heaven Beside You on the radio.

If that was the first song I heard, I probably wouldn't be a fan. I just don't think it was a good song to start off with/get into first.

I agree. To enjoy the song you need to acquire patience for the structure of the song. Just like on Aenima I had to get used to songs like Push!t and Third Eye.

[Darkness]

If that was the first song I heard, I probably wouldn't be a fan. I just don't think it was a good song to start off with/get into first.
It wasn't the first song I heard. I heard Schism, and disliked it (its still not my favorite song, but its still pretty awesome) and someone sent me Lateralus, and I loved it. So I bought the album. :thumb:

[something erotic]

Pushit was the last song I got into by Tool. I was into everything else except for that. Now I love it. :)


EDIT: Pwned by the swear filter :lol:

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Push!t was originally my least favorite song offf of Aenima and now it's my favorite.

Push¡t is a great song, but you have to listen to it several times so it grows in you.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I got into Tool mainly through E-peer pressure. I didn't do so much as download a single Tool song before purchasing Lateralus. Just goes to show you how much faith I have in mx. :p

Just a sidenote- If anyone has Acceleration by Age of Silence, could you please YSI tracks 7 and 10 to my email, please? Spiralout7@gmail.com is me. Also, if you've not heard of these guys, they're an avant garde/prog band from Norway. If you're into any avant garde whatsoever, you should definitely check them out. Clean vocals, talented band members. I'd really consider them the Tool of Norway. Lazare is an amazing vocalist, their guitarist is definitely more of a rythm man than lead, and their HellHammer is a beast behind the drums. Granted, being an avant garde, they're a lot more out there than Tool, but I've really been digging them as of late.

[Futuro]

There's no question whatsoever that Lateralus has better production. I prefer the drum sound of Aenima, His drums sound all tubby on lateralus.

The thing that hooked me to tool was the video for stinkfist. The song + Video made me think this band was something more than what was out at the time.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

If I had to pick one album where I think the drums stand out the most, I'd choose Lateralus, by far. They just sound so unique. Danny ties his influences in so well, and he really creates a very unique sound.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

I like his drumming the most in Lateralus, too... There is something very tribal about the way he drums in it.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Yeah, although there are songs on every album that I like. 46&2 probably has my favorite drumming on it, mainly because of the cool solo. I sat down one day, and made an effort at dissecting that part of the song, and here's what I came up with.

Me: Masturbate at 200 bpm.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

The drum solo just sounds like Danny doing a bunch of random sh!t to creatively stay on beat. Pretty cool, though.

[Futuro]

I think the main reason I dont like his drum sound is the bubinga wood. Im so used to hearing Maple and Birch, That bubinga kinda makes me go blegh....

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

I prefer the drum sound of Aenima, His drums sound all tubby on lateralus.



Tubby? :p

[Futuro]

Tubby? Yeah they are too round sounding. They remind me of the MMX series from pearl (Which I also dont like) Instead of a nice blend of attack and tone, They seem to sound....well tubby :)

You need to get laid.

I've decided(probably out of justification for my lack of a sex life) that "getting some" is overrated. There are far better things in life than living to try and get laid. This year, I realized that these pathetic losers who try and do every chick possible are the guys I despise. There's nothing wrong with having sex, of course, but what I mean is that basing your social life around how many times you get done is about as cool as *snicker* listening to Tool!

In an effort to tie my rant into this thread, I'm going to say that I think Jerk Off is about these kind of guys. I'm not really kidding about this either. I mean, just listening to the lyrics once with this in mind, and it kind of becomes apparent. Sort of...:shrug:

[Sixty Ton Angel]

I'm a big fan of Danny Carey's and think his drums sound great on each album, but what really stands out for me is the drumming on Lateralus.

Never before had I listened pretty much solely to the drums. Usually I would just listen out for the guitar/vocals and not take much notice of the percussion but with Tool they wouldn't let me.

Btw, I was SKoRioN but I made a new account as that was really old and created when I was a Metallica fanboy :(

Just letting ya know :thumb:

[Adam Jones is GOD]

..falls to the earth.

I hate usernames that make me randomly sing the next line :(

Jake preaches the truth too.

And tool related part of post, my Lateralus disk has finally started skipping. Good job I play off PC, or on mp3 player most of the time

[mudvayne420]

Yeup jake you speak the truth to the max(realized that sounds cheesy)

WEll, the song that got me hooked on tool was Laterlaus, i heard schism on the radio first but i only heard the end, then 2 days later i heard another song on the radio, but i wasn't schism but Lateralus and i loved it especially the climax of the bass whammy.

[JamJar]

Mx got me into tool. I read the review for lateralus on mx and i downloaded schism i was instantly hooked by the awsome bass line. (unfortunately i didnt realise that I hadnt downloaded the full version, it was only 4 mins). Then i bought the album.

I love the drums on lateralus, theyre so creative and dannys playing really makes your jaw drop. Awsome!

[Sixty Ton Angel]

What radio stations do you listen to :confused:

The only things I can get around here are either classic pop (some good tunes I admit) or some new gansta shizzle....werd.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. 'The Game' is really getting on my tits :evil:

[Artemician]

Wow, this is what? The third "what song got you into Tool?" discussion on this thread? Or is it the fourth?

What lyrics is everybody liking at the moment? It dosen't have to be Tool.

Myself, I'm liking The Dillinger Escape Plan's "Panasonic Youth" lyrics:


"we wrote these plans. took the order. the architecture. and followed them to the end. til the gears ground cold and relentless. there was no remorse. we had none we kept on with no trace of a regret. there was no remorse. i never saw any blood. no soul for the body. watched them turn her scab covered skin into stone. like a coal in the sky. searching for the dawn for the last time. bloated with white eyes wide. we've come to an understanding - you lose/I profit. high noon and there ain't no secrets. no more excuses. now our number's up. let them lead us by the throat. now just smile while the rope pulls tighter. guilty is an understatement. the hourglass is never right side up. and all the time we try to tear the script up. forgetting all the sour for the sweet. the paragraph has never been so empty. the lifeless testtube. the mother dies with infant in arms. the lifeless testtube, look what she's done. evolution gave us a clock that's always winding down."

What's funny is that they had a single for that album called "Unretrofied," and it was the plainest, most un-DEP like song you'd ever expect to hear.

Now imagine a kid getting "into" the band because of that song, buying Miss Machine, and hearing that opening track. His face would melt like the Nazis who looked at the Ark! It would be too ****ing awesome for him.

PS saw them live and it was amazing.

Oh God, that would be the best thing ever.

I saw them in August, sorta. I was at Gigantour, and in line getting autographs from Megadeth while they were playing. At the time, I wasn't too much of a fan of them though. I still headbanged along to 43% Burnt, and many others. Actually, I could see somewhat see them playing from where I was standing.

Anyways, they aren't coming ANYWHERE near me on their headlining tour, which sucks a big one.

[BlindWriting]

I sort of just discovered Megadeth. I have five songs from Rust In Peace, and I have to say, I'm pretty stunned at the musicianship. Awesome technical thrash.

[Futuro]

didnt he use the paistes on lateralus? im probably wrong, but i thought i heard that somewhere in d&p.
For some dates of the tour, But theres no way thats the paiste set. There would be much more transient attack ;)

That album is a masterpiece. I really think Megadeth is above average. Great band.

no - the reason why i don't like them is very personal and lies deep in my psyche... there is no 'real' reason

rust in peace is my favorite megadeth album, and friedman is my favorite megadeth guitarist. hangar 18 and tornado of souls are probably my favorite songs off of that album.

Oceanic is my favorite Isis album. It's probably my second favorite Post Metal album overall, as well.

Megadeth I can't stand. Though I've never liked thrash anyway, except for some Testament.

i can see the vocals turning people off to megadeth, i dont particularly like them either. but i just focus on the guitar work, which is awesome. i do that a lot actually, listen to music i dont REALLY like solely because of the instrumentalism. then again, maybe its not just the vocals that you dislike. haha.

[Kage]

I do dislike the vocals, but the whole mentality of it just seems cheesey to me. The whole angry, death, grim-reaper images and stuff, and then the music (to me, at least) doesn't sound very dark at all. I just don't like that type of music.

yeah...i can see that. the 80's were a dark period in my opinion.

isis is cool though...right? haha.

edit: i see that they released two albums on mike patton's ipecac label, oceanic being one of them. thats cool. i thought i saw something about that somewhere.

/vague

[repcak]

hm... i think i should check out megadeath.... i like metallica, slayer, exodus and all the trash-bands but i never listened to megadeath...

[PinkFreud]

only if you spell megadeth right. thats the only way to listen to them. i swear.

[Kurrpt]

ive been listening to Symphony X, Talib Kweli (rap that has amazing lyrics), Radiohead, APC, etc

[misunderstood]

^ Ah, APC never gets old..not for me anyway. Especially songs like '3Libras' 'The Noose' and 'Judith'. I've also been listening to NIN, Radiohead, Fantomas, QOTSA, Team Sleep, TMV, and of course, Tool.

[Kurrpt]

i really havent listened to TOoL in a while, except when im actually playing the songs

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Butthole Surfers, Primus, Isis, and Pelican have been taking over my scrobbler of late.

[PinkFreud]

i went to see a perfect circle when they had mini-kiss opening for them. it was a horrible experience.

What was a horrible experience? Mini-kiss? or the entire show?

just mini-kiss. it almost ruined it all, but i was fine afterwards.

and yes... sorry. megadEth :thumb:

Me too.

Remnants, have you heard Cult of Luna? They're somewhat similar to Isis and Pelican, but they have their own vibe. They're really great, you'd probably like them.

[PinkFreud]

that is exactly what they were. midgets in kiss costumes, faking along to kiss songs. absolutely awful.

For some reason I thought you already liked Radiohead.

/late reply

I got OK Computer a few weeks back and have been trying to gain an ear for it. So far only the first track (name escapes me) and Paranoid Andriod have really caught my ear.

/end late reply

[Kage]

That's what happened to me when I first bought it as well, but after awhile of persistant listening, it just hit me. Now I love it.

[repcak]

Radiohead?
well, thats the same situation as with massive attack... i hate them (although i know they are good) ... and the reason once again lays very deep in my psyche :p

[paganman7]

What are your thoughts on Tool producing their own album? On the image of the audio reels that was posted on Adam's site a while back (which has subsequently been removed), the label on the reel cases reads Producer: Tool.

It has been confirmed that Joe Baressi is engineering their album, but I'm quite certain that Tool are producing it. Is this what's slowing them down?

[Darkness]

Is this what's slowing them down?
Could be.. but I'm pretty sure the albums done now, they're doing the artwork and stuff now.

[Dude3]

Yeah, I think Tool are done recording aswell, and are just on the small(well, maybe more in-depth for them) things like cover artwork, etc..

[Kage]

Who cares about cover art, we're all going to download the leak and then buy it off iTunes anyway.

[Darkness]

Who cares about cover art, we're all going to download the leak and then buy it off iTunes anyway.
Never!! :angry: :eek:

[Kage]

Digital music is taking over.

I already burned all my CDs (no pun intended).

[Darkness]

Really? I haven't, I still buy cds on a regular bassis, and only have a few burnt ones. I wouldn't even think about downloading Tool... the artwork and themes is one of things I love about them. :p

[Kage]

*slaps forehead*

There are more than a few people in this thread who should know I'm being very sarcastic. :) I'm a big propenant of buying CDs (not for legal issues, but because I love getting the artwork, etc.)

Im really excited about this DVD release though.

Nah, I've just talked about the subject quite a few times in this thread. I was going to see if anyone picked up on it, that's all.

[bwnstl]

No more David Bottrill producing?

[repcak]

i read yesterday an interview with trent reznor and his opinion about emule, iTunes, etc. He said that first of all music i overpriced (the cds) and the other problem is that in most cases (he said especially in the case of hip-hop) you buy a single for the price of an album... in most cases you will find 1-3good songs and the rest is ****.
Thats the reason why most ppl don't buy cds anymore... and thats the case why i listen to nin, opeth, tool cause its worth the money :thumb:

[BlindWriting]

I usually buy CD's. I would so much rather just sit down, put on a good pair of headphones, and listen to an album all the way though, than waltz around listening to singles on an iPod.

But of course, when free music is thrown right in front of me (like that goddamn YSI thread) it's incredibly hard to resist.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Or you could trade and get albums for free...

[repcak]

it depends heavily on the band.
i can't resist the YSI mailing-list too, but when there is a band i really like i buy the cds...

f.e.: i've got more major nin-releases than official, but i still don't have the original of TDS, B and PHM... i am collector in this case and will buy all of his major releases someday.

If he is producing it, it sure has been kept a secret. Like I said, the audio reel labels clearly list Tool as the producer...curious.

[repcak]

i listened to 2songs by Megadeth -> Dread and The Fugitive, Tornado of Souls.
the guitar work is fantastic, the vocals disgusting :upset:

[Huber]

Mustaine's voice isn't something that jumps out at you at first. I think it took a live video I have of them playing Hangar 18 that made me enjoy the vocals.

I completely agree with everything Trent Reznor said about the CD buying stuff. If a CD is worth it to me, I'll pay the money.

[BlindWriting]

I just bought and listened to Catch 33 by Meshuggah. Pretty damn good, very headbangable, but I'm glad that they're going to take a more song-based approach for the next album.

Hmmm... Maybe I should come in here more.

Can I find some of the interviews online anywhere?
And they straight out said "The DVD is coming out first"?

[something erotic]

All I've got is from this thread, danney has said in a couple of interviews straight out that the dvd is coming out first yes

I've heard him say that many times, and I think I can find one if I look hard enough.

[BlindWriting]

I think they said in the chat that the DVD and the new CD would coming relatively soon (I guess January 2006 or so), and that the DVD would come first.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

When they said next year, I assumed it'd be more like May or June 2006. Are you sure about Janurary? If it's coming out in 3 months, why haven't we heard any more information about the album? The first single? The name of the album? Sorry, just being skeptical...

[repcak]

that would mean that we have to wait at least more than a half year for the new tool-album.... :upset:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Man, I listened to Lateralus today. I remember hearing Lateralus for the first time. That feeling is seriously something that I have yet to replicate. I can recall the weather, the scent, (obviously the sound)everything. I can't wait for the new album. Just to feel that similair sensation will be amazing.

[Otherside]

I doubt we'll get a new album before mid-2006 for that reason as well. Tool may want to surprise us, but seriously...news would leak from somewhere, quite probably the label. They couldn't keep something as big as a new Tool album secret from the public. Bear in mind that the new Tool album will probably be one of the biggest albums of next year, so the label will want to make some major profit on it.

Just out of interest, can anyone fill me in on a connectionbetween Tool and the Melvins? When I was writing the FA on Mike Patton, I saw that all 4 members of Tool appear on a song on one of their albums (it's track 7, but I don't remember the album name). It's in the FA if anyone's interseted, but I was just wondering what the link is, and whether it's actually true.

Right now all I can remember is that on the track You Lied from Salival, one of the Melvins played guitar along with Adam. That's all I got :\

I think we can get a good idea of when to expect some news based on what the band did with Lateralus. Compare the release date of the album with the release date of "Schism." Possibly, also when it was announced what the album was going to be called, etc.

[Darkness]

If it's coming out in 3 months, why haven't we heard any more information about the album? The first single? The name of the album? Sorry, just being skeptical...
Because this is Tool, not Metallica. I'm sure they will keep the low down on this album for as long as possible...

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Right now all I can remember is that on the track You Lied from Salival, one of the Melvins played guitar along with Adam. That's all I got :\

Adam frequently plays guitar with the Melvins, and King Buzzo is a big friend of the band.

Check out the recording pictures for Buzzo in action with a 9mm

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I think Adam played guitar with The Melvins for a while, and now King Buzzo is in the recording studio with Tool. The only connection that Blair has given us is that both Tool and King Buzzo like to have barbecues. :shrug:

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Because this is Tool, not Metallica. I'm sure they will keep the low down on this album for as long as possible...

True. Janurary is still pretty damn close.

Sorry about the page deformation. New pictures up on Adam's space.

And perhaps new lyrics. /wets self

Mmm, perhaps new Tool lyrics?

Ah! that link doesn't work due to my non-myspace accountness! Give me a link to his mainpage! Please! I want to see the new lyrics. :(

Just out of interest, can anyone fill me in on a connectionbetween Tool and the Melvins? When I was writing the FA on Mike Patton, I saw that all 4 members of Tool appear on a song on one of their albums (it's track 7, but I don't remember the album name). It's in the FA if anyone's interseted, but I was just wondering what the link is, and whether it's actually true.
I'm not sure how exactly they first came into contact, but the song you're thinking of is Divorced. I have it on that Tool bootleg I bought a while back. It's about nine minutes long and features a big drum battles between Danny Carey and the Melvins' drummer about midway through. It's interesting.

It is the s t i l l n e s s of death
but also the s t i l l n e s s from which both of them
had drawn energy to create that 's o m e t h i n g'
which is the pregnant s t i l l n e s s of R E S H:
that s o m e t h i n g which connects us all to the eternal
the s e m i n a l
the infinite and ever•present energies
which no human can "disturb or escape"
& which are represented in the continuous double circles
of the number 8
the number of Mercury & Hod

Yes, there's just a chance that they're lyrics. Someone mentioned that the pictures are for the new "video" which would mean that this "Frozenlife" song(the name of the blog was Frozenlife) would be the new single, which would mean that the song may be on it's way to radio stations.
