Tool

[Dude3]

I just got back from an amazingly fun party. IO wore my Tool sweater, so I'm putting this in here. Yeeeep.

[Kage]

What made it "amazingly fun"?

[Killtacular]

Booze, hookers, and a huge game of Risk.

[Dude3]

What made it "amazingly fun"?
Good friends, new friends, boobs, insanely rich neighborhood and friken huge house, deep conversations about religion and astral projection and dreams, T-RAV pissing on himself, more boobs from the same girl, sluttiest excuses for halloween costumes ever, possible band formation, and believe it or not, there was not one little bit of alcohol or drugs in that party.

HELLZ YEA!

That does sound like fun.

I'm not really much of a partier, and I don't drink or do drugs. That's why I've got MX and my CD collection.

NP: Porcupine Tree - Voyage 34 Phase II

I've been addicted to PT and listening to them nonstop since the concert last night.

[BurtonChancellor]

Hey, I dragged along one of my good buddies to the Porcupine Tree show in Toronto, and ever since then he always wants to listen to the Porcupine Tree songs I've got in my iPod whenever we get together. Especially Halo, since as good as that song is on the album, they kicked some serious butt with that song when they played it live.

I'm just going to have to let him borrow and rip my copy of "Deadwing" already.

[repcak]

today i dreamed of a tool release and that the album got very heavy (metal), i even went to the concert and met Maynard James Keenan backstage (he looks weird, like an alien *g*)

/but it was only a dream :upset:

What was the name of the album? :p

[repcak]

äh... good question... i can't remember.
i only know that MJK his skin was brown, he had dreads and he looks like a hybrid from the movie mad max 2 and alien :D he looks like an evil guy :p
i know its weird

You think about Tool a little too much...

[BlindWriting]

I think I once had a dream about Tool playing a new song. The bandmembers didn't look anything like they do in real life, and there was an insane tapping bass solo.

[Futuro]

That would be so weird for Tool, but I'm sure they could make it happen if they wanted to.

Ps. Guys, are push-ups good exercises for your pects?


EDIT: To George, yes, it is the great 'boobs' party. I'm going to have to delete that comment though, because I don't want the boob 'victim' to see this, ahaha.

Yeah, Halo ruled live. Much better than the album version, as good as it is.

:lol: at the Tool dreams. I think I've had a dream about Tool before, but I don't remember it.

Dude: Yes, push ups are the best thing for your pects, I think.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Did they play Mellotron Scratch? It'd be great to see how they pull off the 3 part harmonies live. :p

PS, you're a bastard. :upset:

Thanks man. As of last night, I had no clue how much girls like guy's pects.

Starting tomorrow, I shall start a morning workout routine.

See, I think its weird when I got that comment, because I don't think I have a great body. At least, my stomach still needs to loose some pounds. But whatever, I got the compliment from at least 3 girls, and I guess I'll believe them.

[Artemician]

Eh, people will like practically every muscle that can stand out. Though it helps if all are somewhat strong, and is, of course, completely relient on how strong the people surrounding you are. I should know, I'm like Hercules compared to my friends.

Sooooo true. I'm not really that strong of a kid. I don't work out much. But when with my friends(who are all pretty much a grade lower than me), I'm like a muscular beast.

:lol: , I know the feeling. I have a weightlifting class in school, so I'm in pretty good shape. My friends on the other hand seem to consist of the Geek/Goth/Punk/Weirdo crowds and pretty much let their bodies whither. Let me tell you something, it's a good indication that you're muscular when your best friend starts feeling up your arm :p ...... wait.....

Do we know a date for the release of the next album yet?

Each album so far has been very much better than the previous one IMO, it's going to take something immense if they're going to pull that off again...

[nowitzki]

What's the DVD going to have on it? Live footage? Music videos?

[Futuro]

Hopefully both, but for sure live footage.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I can't wait for that DVD. Hopefull I'll just be able to snag it from Wal Mart once it comes out.

[Otherside]

I can't wait for that DVD. Hopefull I'll just be able to snag it from Wal Mart once it comes out.

Given Tool's track record for having merchandise at Wal-Mart, I really don't see that happening :\

[nowitzki]

Sounds awesome, I've never seen Tool live and haven't seen any live footage apart from a few bootlegs. Is there any professionally shot live footage already out there at all?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Given Tool's track record for having merchandise at Wal-Mart, I really don't see that happening :\

Well, I've only heard the whole Undertow ribcage story, what else?

[Futuro]

I know wal mart wouldnt sell "The Power to Believe" Because It had a baby on it. They thought It was some sort of Pro-abortion thing, so they never sold it.

[Futuro]

Lol at the hacked tool site. The tool site has been hacked, I stumbled upon it. Maybe you guys have seen it before, maybe not.

If anyone finds the hack (Which is fairly funny IMO)

Contact me on aim and give me the exact details of what you found.

I will give out an E-Prize.

As far as I know, the only cd they even sell anymore is an edited version of Salival, I've never seen any other their other albums at any Wal-Mart...

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Undertow Ribcage story: Basically, when Undertow was released, Walmart replaced the ribcage that is typically displayed on the front of the album with a large barcode. They thought that a ribcage was too graphic, or something bullshit, so they censored it. I think Tool ended up making some kind of recall program where you could send in your barcoded Undertow booklet for a real Undertow booklet.

[joas]

I don't understand what's so bad about the ribcage? I can understand the inside artwork maybe being considered "too graphic", but the outside?

NO!

The barcode cover was made by Tool to differentiate the clean version from the regular (ribcage) one.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Exactly. I mean, they don't censor movie covers, which can oftentimes depict corpses, blood, etc..

And BOOKS! The majority of adult books contain more graphic content than a Cannibal Corpse album, yet they censor Evanescence albums. I don't give a **** if Walmart only carries edited albums, but for them to create a double standard for different forms of entertainment, that's just moronic.

F1. Hmmm.. what's that on the cover?

Depends on where you bought your CD. If you bought it at Wal-Mart, it's a giant barcode. The gods of censorship have spoken. (You used to be able to get a real cover by writing in to an address printed in the liner notes; this offer does not appear to be valid anymore). Otherwise, it is a photo of a scuplture done by Adam, of a rib cage. And hey, did you know that if you hold the cover up to the light the ribcage encircles the fat lady on the inside?! (Little bonus trivia tidbit ... coincidence?)

It's the opening riff to the Rush song called "A Passage to Bangkok." I have a bootleg of a London concert from the mid 90s and he does it before "Cold and Ugly" then too. So, maybe he always does it in concert?

[G_Mac07]

Speaking of the OK Bootleg, are there any Australians here who have it? And if there is, would you be interested in doing a trade by mail?

I know, its just music, right? I think so. But remember something. Where would we be today without music? Since the times of fukin cavemen, even drum beats were their choice of music.

If you have a mac, go to the "view" menu and click on "view source". Do this for both the splash page and the main news page (and wherever else, I guess). I don't know how to get to it if you're using a PC.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I got the whole html by opening it in Internet Explorer, but now, what am I looking for?

The splash page is that first page that has a little menu where you can choose toolband, toolarmy and such.

Honestly, I don't know.

On the splash page, I found a link to a site called http://www.once-upon-a-forest.com which may or may not have something to do with the new album's artwork.

On the main page, I found the words "Jar Jar" (as in Binks). No clue as to why it's there.

That's completely random.

On the main page's source, there's some odd comments.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

So it would seem, but I think there's more to it.

I'm on the Waxpraxis website right now, and I'm not sure why it's there. Praystation is the company that did the current toolband artwork, I think.


The middle segment is a poem of sorts, I'm guessing.

That was in the head of the main page. I couldn't find where the function was used.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Yeah, the only thing I can find is the splash page source code which seems like just a bunch of random things, and the Jar Jar source code thing. That's it (although that site with the artwork is so awesome to look at). Was that what the big deal was?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I'm hoping that Chet Zar has some kind of hand in the making of the artwork for this next album.

http://www.myspace.com/chetzar

Amazing artwork.

Has anyone tried to view the source of any other sections of the Tool page? I'm doing so right now.

[BlindWriting]

I think he was more of an influence on their pre-Lateralus music video artwork. If you look at all the videos they made after Hush and before Schism, they've got that sort of feel.

[G_Mac07]

I saw that Melvins Suck thing earlier today on Toolnavy.

Ironically, I think Chet made some of the little creatures in Schism. I could be very wrong, but I recall reading that on his space.

EDIT: I think Marshall was talking about the Melvins thing when he said he "hacked" Toolband. I think we(or BlindWriting) uncovered something totally new. :-D

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

That's cool that Tool respect their elders; they seem to be good friends with their forefathers - King Crimson, and another influential band in The Melvins.

Actually, I think you're right. I just have that image of the Alex Grey see through man from the end of Parabol/Parabola stuck in my mind.

Hah, we'll just have to wait and see what Dude3 has to say when he gets back.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I posted that "poem" as a comment on Adam's space, but he has his settings so that he has to approve every comment, so it probably won't even get posted. :(

Marshall, you're a bastard.

I love you to jake. :-*

It was the Melvins thing...

Wow

[Otherside]

Eheheh, told you guys so :p

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Um, holy ****.

Look at the Melvins picture more closey.

Do you see the date near the top? JANUARY THIRD ZOMG

So that really was Maynard then. :eek:

[Futuro]

Jake put the pieces together. He is now light as a feather. Tool may suck, but the video proves there is more.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Um, holy ****.

So that really was Maynard then. :eek:

I've been looking for about 15 minutes and I can't see anything. Does it really say January 3rd? Can you possibly make a picture of it with some type of arrow or something because I feel really blind right now. It just looks like the same picture over and over.

EDIT: I still can't find any type of date in the picture. :confused:

[something erotic]

A few different anonymous tipsters report that Tool has been confirmed to play next year's Big Day Out festival in Australia, a festival which hits several major cities Down Under. More on this to follow. §

Probably old news, but what the heck. I haven't been to T.D.N. since July, so I didn't know.

Totally worth it.

This post is to allow you to post the link with ease Jake, and to make sure that you don't double post.:)

Jake can show you the date, but not one of you is looking for the video. You must put the pieces together.

What video?

Could you suppress your inner Blair for a moment and just say something relevant?

Agreed.

I dismissed this long ago.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

You're a fake. I'm calling your bluff. You aren't a member of the band and you aren't a friend of the band so you have absolutely no reason to just keep such "top secret" information away from the rest of us. We are all good people in this thread and I really thought that you were a good user, but this is just absurd. Stop with your cryptic, voynich manuscript-esque sentences, and just tell us what you found out (that is if you really know something, like you claim you do).

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

He has no video. :lol:

If he does, he would have splurged a link all over the thread.

[paganman7]

There is no video. There is no date in the Melvin's picture. 1/3/06 is another hoax started by another pathetic fanboy.

I'm now beginning to understand why Tool fans are hated by most other rational people.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Hey Jake, did you make that tinypic thing yet to show where the date is? I really want to believe you. As you sound much more convincing then Faith does.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

The 1/3 is not a hoax. You guys are going to eat your own nuts once you finally see it in the picture.

Plus, we already know that something is coming out 1/3/06 because of Maynard's profile on Td.n.

[paganman7]

I'd gladly eat my own nuts for this information to be correct. The fact remains, the band members themselves don't even know when the album will be released. How, in the name of Buddha, are fanboys supposed to know?

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Well, I want to believe you. I just can't believe that douchebag. So, either tell us exactly where it is in specific detail, or make a picture of it with an arrow, etc. Your choice.

[paganman7]

I'm embarrased to admit that I spent a good amount of time looking at that picture, including looking at it at 500% magnification. I see absolutely nothing.

When, "in the name of Buddha" did I mention that it was the album that is coming out on January third? Yeah, exactly, Tool does know, but we don't.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Jake, either tell us now exactly where it is (and dont just say at the top of the page) or make a picture of it. Either do that, or just shut up about it.

On what is this based?


During the chat, Adam said that they had not even finished recording yet.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

You guys wouldn't even beleive me now, because it's not a literal 1/3. They actually used a method of encryption that I learned about from The Davinci code. It's not exactly "true" Atbash, but it's similiar. It's kind of a stretch, but it makes tons of sense. Like "douchebag" Marshall said, (:-*) the peices do fit...

paganman7- On Toolnavy, Maynard's user title says 1/03/06. I wasn't really convinced, but this picture really seals the deal for me.

[paganman7]

That's inconsequential.

C'mon Jake, just post the Buddhadamn picture.

I'm aware of the page, but how do we know it's not someone else? At this point, I wouldn't put anything past some Tool "fans".

The picture, at this point, is a non-issue.

From the live chat:

[00:22-Sublunary] <mmmagenta> i just want to know when the album is coming out
[00:22-Sublunary] <adam> I don't know the due date, let's finish the record first


That's good enough for me.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I'm aware of the page, but how do we know it's not someone else? At this point, I wouldn't put anything past some Tool "fans".

The picture, at this point, is a non-issue.

Because, Maynard, Adam, Danny, and Justin are censored if a normal Tool fan tries to create an account with that name. This means that Maynard is really Maynard.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Yeah, that's about right. It was made for you guys to interpret on your own.

I'm still calling your bluff. Tell me your "secrets" and I'll shut up.

[paganman7]

Because, Maynard, Adam, Danny, and Justin are censored if a normal Tool fan tries to create an account with that name. This means that Maynard is really Maynard.


Because I don't know any differently, I'll certainly take your word for it.

I'm not trying to be difficult, I'm just a little skeptical of any information that supposed "fans" may have that the band members themselves don't yet possess.

[Otherside]

It's ridiculous the amount of mental stress you guys are under due to a cd. I mean, yah, it's Tool, but damn, it's not THAT important to get worked up over, especially among the brethern of the Tool thread.

[Kage]

It's just that Faith is being a moron. I don't really give a shi t about all this secret stuff, I'll happily just quietly sit and wait for the god damned album to be released, rather than going through fuking scrutiny and looking for secret codes in the source files of a website. Christ.

[something erotic]

Zomg. I get it! You just have to know where to look....and how to look at it......

It's all about the ellipses, dammit.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Secret stuff interests me. I like digging, hoping I'll find something. However, I do it just for fun because I know that I won't actually find something. Now, Faith is just being stupid. He's claiming he figured out all these secrets, blah blah, blah, etc. Then, he talks to everyone else in some absurdly pretentious way. "Jake has uncovered a secret. He is now light as a feather." What the hell does that mean?

I know...the pretentious way he's doing it makes me angry, especially since he hasn't found shi t.

Secrets are fine (ie, Dredg), but to go searching through the source code of a website and then to pretensiously go on about how everyone has to put the pieces together is stupid. It's making me angry, I'm sorry.

[Dude3]

HEy guys! I just got home.

Basically, I got to the 'meeting' place at a little before 1:00pm. Then, me and my friends waited about 4 hours, and then finally, Morgan came, with her friend Brittany(I call her 'boobs' because she calls me 'pects').

Anyways, they only hung out with us for about 20 minutes. Then we waited for Sara(my friend really wants to go out with her/main reason we went there). Unfortunately, Sara couldn't come outside. Gayness++++++

Now, I'm on the computer, talking to some peeps. One kid 'Neal' whom is obsessed over the girl I'm obsessed about. He's a cool dude, but...he has no chance(:cool:). My friend who likes Sara, and Sara herself(who I'm seeing if she likes that kid).

Take a look at the picture (http://www.toolband.com/melvinsuck.jpg). Now, you see the Y in SAY? It represents 1/. If you look at it right, that's the shape it takes. Then, you see the ellipses? Well, look under the fourth ellipse, there are 2 streaks underneath it, forming a T, which, if you read The Davinci Code, comes up in a neohebrew cipher where some letters represent numbers and vice versa. The T, having 3 general extremities, represents the number 3.

1/T

January 3rd!

IT ALL MAKES SENSORE!

[BlindWriting]

Hmm. Nevermind then.

[Moses]

I never bothered with this. I knew it was going to be dumb.

[BlindWriting]

N.P.: Opeth - Ghost Reveries.

I just can't get enough of this album.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I almost picked it up yesterday, but I was like "wtf 14.95!?"


So, instead, I chose to purchase Mezzanine by Massive Attack for 13.95. Every man has his limits. :p It was well worth the purchase, though. I'm loving every minute of it so far.

[Kage]

Is that trip-hop stuff? If so, is it similar to Portishead?

[Darkness]

Jake, you never did listen to my song, did you. :upset:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I do know it's trip hop, and I've heard them compared to Portishead. Although, I've never actualy heard Portishead.

To tell you the truth, I'd never heard a second of Massive Attack before I bought Mezzanine. It was one of those leaps of faith. Christ, all if that to save a dollar on Ghost Reveries. :lol:

Mike- I did too. :angry: I commented on it, too. If you want to see what I said, you could try to search function...Keyword crap. :lol: Just kidding, man, I actually really liked it quite a bit. I recall really digging the insurmentals. The only thing that I felt was off was the mixing, but that's beside the point. The panned guitar parts were a little high, and the drums were rolled back a bit for my liking.

All in all, I did like it though. Death metal is a hard genre to pull off, nonetheless over the intraweb. :)

[Darkness]

Mike- I did too. :angry: I commented on it, too.
?! Where?!

[Kage]

Portishead rules, but I've never heard Massive Attack. I'm going to have to hold off my constantly strong impulses to buy albums in order to save up for a Mesa/Boogie Single Recto during the next few months. With the absence of my mowing job during the winter, I'm going to be strapped for cash.

Holy mother on a stick, I have it!

I just took a dump, and while I was straining I began to see dots. As my hemorrhoids burst, they made a blood spatter on top of my dookie, and it looked just like the morse code that Blair posted.

This all means that the title of the new album is "Too Much Corn in my Poop", and the release date is February 12th, the day of the corn festival in Aimes, Iowa!

Awesome!

I think I'm just going to start downloading for the next couple months and not buy a single CD. Then, once I get a more steady cashflow back up, I'll go out and buy the really good ones.

NP:Mind's Mirrors, Meshuggah


The feeding frenzy of my starving soul, gnawing voraciously at the bones,
the exo-skeletal patchwork protecting my own reflection within;
The twin-and-same engaged in the mirrored act of chewing away
at the shell of my attacking self. The paradox unseen

Treacherous this deceit to make no choice matter
To have and yet lose yourself, until finally all reasons why are forgotten
To live through ones own shadow. Mute and blinded, is to really see
Eclipse the golden mirror and the reflection is set free

Meshuggah rules. Even new Meshuggah.

Mezzanine is now downloading. :)

Only thing is the drum machine part. It makes me think that Haake could be a phony............

Seriously though, sometimes me and my friends put Catch 33 on and set the Xbox screen saver up and just sit there and zone out.

[Huber]

Moses, get Rare Trax, and then on the enhanced CD watch the live video of Elastic.

Then call Haake a phony.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I don't think I'd like an entire album by Sigur Ros. I mean, Untitled I amazes the crap out of me, but I doubt i could withstand any more than 40 minutes of made up words and slow ambient beauty. :shrug:

NP: Styx- Come Sail Away

Wow, what a change.

About Drum machines on Catch 33- Yeah, but it's not like he does his most technical stuff on Catch 33, though. He could have recorded the tracks, but due to time restraints, they just chose to program them. That is what my understanding of it is.

[Spiritofmosa]

OMG Jake, we are both listening to Sigur Ros!

Only thing is the drum machine part. It makes me think that Haake could be a phony............Catch 33 is the only Meshuggah album that has used a drum machine. It was more of an experiment in repetition that the guitarists conducted. They made the demo with the drum machine they programmed, and eventually decided that since Haake would be able to play the parts live anyway, they mastered the demo and added bass, Jens' vocals, and released it. Tomas Haake is the man, though. Seriously, an impossibly good drummer.

You don't think Haake could pull that off? The only song I'm not sure Haake could pull off that was done with a machine would be War. But only because thats inhuman..
?????

I thought War was actually him. It's not inhuman and I think he could do it. I don't actually think he's a phony, I was just kidding about that and I've seen live vids of them before so, yeah. But I can't think of another drummer that does the things he does as well as he does.

Isn't he behind most of the music that they do?

[Huber]

Huber-80's prog rock seems like something South Park would make fun of, so I'm guessing yes.

Enya sounds like some kind of digital voice box that has been pitch shifted, and quad-tracked.

You'd be surprised, the South Park guys know music.

Anywho, there's an episode where Cartman admits he can't leave some things unfinished. So, Stan would just sing "Cooooooome sail awaaaay!" and then Cartman would sing the rest no matter what. It was great.

No, War's a drum machine. Yeah, inhuman was an exageration. Thats still some mad good drumming... I'm sure he could do it though.

When I was at my friend's house, he started playing the beat from Stengah, and I jumped in on guitar(like 3 steps up, but so what?) it was awesome.

Of course, I couldn't keep track of what was going on, between the 5/4 and 4/4 parts, so I just sat down and watched him. He owns. So hard.

[Huber]

Learning drum parts to Meshuggah songs is fun. You feel like a God when your finished and can play it.

[Moses]

Be in a band with him then Jake.

Huber, wanna do a Meshuggah cover? I'd like to do vocals.

[Kage]

NP: A Silver Mount Zion - Babylon Was Built On Fire

Anyone who likes Godspeed or post rock in general owes it to themselves to check out ASMZ.

Do Godspeed have a track called A Silver Mount Zion?

My drumming recording quality is crappy, but I could give it a try.

I can play Elastic and NMCC.

I'd do guitar, if I had an 8-string, that is.

Having an 8 string would rock balls.

[BlindWriting]

Oh those goofy looking eight stringers and their pure-evil sound. I love it.

They REALLY perfected the sounds of their guitars on Catch 33.

I don't think so...


Jake: Sent.

So true. The guitar tone on C33 was awesome.

[Moses]

There are some songs that you don't need an 8 stringer for have no idea which ones though. Meshuggah vocals are easy to scream but I keep forgetting about the time signatures.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I'd love to be in a band with him, but he goes to a community college an hour away, and he works at Borders in that town, so he's rarely at home. It was really fun though, because he's a big PT fan. He's actually the one who convinced me to check them out, so I really owe him a peice of my life. :lol:

Plus, I'm sure he's at a level where he'd rather perform with people that are closer to his level of expertise.

Kage- 6% of 2 files (23 megs, wtf!)

Pre-Nothing songs only require 7 strings. I'm pretty sure they're tuned down half a step to Bb, as well.

[BlindWriting]

Didn't they not start using eight stringers until the time between Chaosphere and Nothing?

Oh and Frederik Thorendal (sp?) is definitely an underrated genius.

[G_Mac07]

I don't think so...


:upset:

It must have the wrong tags or something then.

Hagstrom is the pivotal writer in the group isn't he?
