Tool

[Kage]

I just recently bought my Parker Nitefly M guitar and I'm saving up for an amp, so I didn't really have any guitar stuff for Christmas. My parents don't buy it for me anyway.

But I did get a nice selection of DVDs, cash, and gift certificates. I got a Martin Scorsese Box Set (Goodfellas, Mean Streets, Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, Who's That Knocking at My Door, and After Hours); Videodrome Criterion DVD; "Curb Your Enthusiasm" Seasons 1 and 2; "Seinfeld" seasons 4-6; Jerry Seinfeld live on Broadway; and a Johnny Cash live DVD. As well as some good spending money and gift cards to Cinemark.

Very good Christmas here.

[Magicaltroll]

You lucky kids and your expensive gifts
All thanks to my extremely wealthy Grandma :p

[paganman7]

Did anyone get the Dvd's in the end?


You can say that again mate...I'm still bleeding!

[JamJar]

I'd say we need to get outside a whole lot more. Or maybe just stop reading those stupid updates.

Blair's posts are cryptic and irrelevant yet every time I log on the internet the first page I check is the Tool news page...

Merry Christmas everyone!

[Darkness]

I didn't get the Tool DVDs like I was hopeing, but apparently my sister in law couldn't find them anywhere... oh well. I got Star Wars risk and a 20$ gift card for Cd Plus instead. \m/

Those are some great gifts. :chug: :cool:

[Syncratic]

I got a Schecter aswell.

C-1 hellraiser all the way.

I got an Omen-6, Trivial Pursuit 90s Edition (I know so much useless crap), a book that I already own (Lemony Snicket>You), the Parabola DVD, and a guitar cable. not to mention stuff in my stocking, like candy and gum.

[Moses]

I definately gave out alot more than I got. I got my friend Ghost Reveries for 15$, my fiance 40$ worth of Manga (she's hopelessly lost in it, I like it but not as much as she does), I got my mom a scarf hat and gloves that all match which costed about 40$ as well, my sister got a squishy pillow which was like 15$, I got my fiance's family all presents which probably ended at 50$, and my step dad got a mini cooler which was 53$. All together that's 203$ that I spent on other people. In all I got pretty much what I gave but still I know people that get video cameras and new stereos.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

I got...

$200 from my dad
$100 from my aunt and uncle
$25 gift certificate at my local guitar store from my brother and sister-in-law
2 shirts from them as well
Zeppelin poster from 2 other brothers
Joe Satriani - Is There Love in Space? guitar book from the same 2 brothers

I think that's all.

[A_TooL]

Hey dude, some interesting points there. Didn't maynard say the song wasn't about god and jesus? I know this doesn't affect your interpretation but to get the 'true' meaning sureley we have to look somewhere else. I find this incredibly hard when in the lyrics it mentions crosses :angry:

Well int he first stanza you picked out the lines 'he had alot to say, he had alot of nothing to say' i find these lines could talk about Martin luther king (now to be called MLK) You see he tried to change or reform america into a non racist nation. He had many things to say, which may have become reptitive, hence maynards contradiction.

The next point i recieved from this guy called 'mstajduh' on the toolshed forums. in the line 'We need the f*ckin space to nail the next fool martyr the explanation the guy gave was "He was the one doing the nailing his 95 thesis on the corrupt catholic church in wittenburg" this makes sense, Maynard could be using a complex metaphor, but maybe im mistaken. These are the two main arguments i have. Has anyone got any othe rideas on 'eulogy'?

i always thought euology was about just leaders in general. the defining lyrics of the song for me are "he had alot to say...nothing to say" and "get off the cross, we need the space to nail the next fool martyr." this could be an analogy to any sort of revolutionary leader who throughout history has challenged the status quo and been killed or otherwise ostracized for it and is calling them hypocrites because their philosophy/dogma is just as close-minded as the ideas which they were challenging. jesus is a good example, although that was actually not my first impression. the first few times i listened to this song, i visualized the communist revolution in russia. however the allegory to christianity as a whole is sounds too i think.

i do agree that Tool songs are purposely meant to make you think and do not offer any easy answer as to their true meaning. maynard and the others probably want listeners to create a meaning for themselves rather than dwell on what the song is "supposed" to mean. this pretty much holds true except for the tracks on opiate, which are more straightforward than the later albums; however the music as a whole on opiate was more convential anyway... however the meaning to 'opiate' i always thought was fairly clear, he is criticizing the church and corrupt preachers.

the only thing i disagree with is the interpretation that "we both want to rape you" is talking about taking money, i.e. tithes. it rather made me think of rape in a literal sense, because wasn't that when all the church scandals were coming to light about priests sexually abusing little children? maybe this is too simple and easy a meaning but it seems sort of obvious to me...

anyone have any ideas about prison sex? i thought maynard was talking about being abused as a child.. but i dont know for a fact he really was so i cant really say this positively. the lines "release in sodomy. for one sweet moment i am whole" and "do unto others what has been done to you."

could he be lamenting that he is doomed to repeat what has been done to him as a child, i.e. sodomy?

[One Groovin Clown]

You guyes were right. Toology was horrible. There was one short interview with adam, then pointless other interviews with other un-important people. Plus the repetitive pictures every 2 mintues and not even any Tools song led to the disaster. I noticed on the back the it said: "Made without the authority of the Band, managemet or record company of Tool. So any one who doesn't ahve this and has even thought bout getting it, Stay Away.

[mudvayne420]

well on a vid. i saw of tool when they played prison sex, maynard stated that this song is about the cycle of abuse within ones self and this song is about the first step which is recognizing, but after that step is to work through it.

[deadinholywood]

The video also follows that cycle..... I no longer like watching it now that ive figured it out what it means to me, its really disturbing and sad.

[randomthought9]

What's a good music video site? Whenever I look, everything's sh*tty quality, and it's gay.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

video.google.com has a few tool videos.

yahoo might as well.

[Confessed2005]

You could download videos from a file sharing program. Such as limewire.

[JamJar]

videocode.org is pretty good for videos (schism and parabola don't work though)

[Kurrpt]

anyone have power tabs of TOoL songs?



I only have the power tab for Schizm, and I cant get any others

[clearvision]

http://ultimate-guitar.com

And i wonder how many times that post (my eulogy post) has been quoted, it is above 10 i'm sure.

[ThePatient]

I just got my 10 year old brother to like Tool. I put Cold & Ugly, Schism, and Parabola on his mp3 player and he liked them. Count it! *Family Guy*

[Kage]

Uh oh. Not another Tool fan!

[ThePatient]

He's already pissed about the dvds and a new album.

[Shadius]

He's already pissed about the dvds and a new album.

What a Tool.

[Killtacular]

He's already pissed about the dvds and a new album.
So he's angry there's gonna be a new album?

[Darkness]

So he's angry there's gonna be a new album?
I think he meens that, it's taking a long time for the new album, thus angering his brother.

Sweet stuff matey. Radiohead, At the Drive-In and American History X especially. I need to hear some Isis.

I mostly just got money. My girlfriend did get me an A Perfect Circle t-shirt and these posters though; Radiohead - OK Computer, Iron Maiden - The Trooper and Pink Floyd - The one with the naked girls and the album covers on their backs.

[milkman41]

Pink Floyd - The one with the naked girls and the album covers on their backs.

candy and gum.
\m/

The guitar is cool too :p
I'd love that guitar, it's sweet.

[One Groovin Clown]

I just picked up the Matthew good greatest hits cd. Theres song son here i love but i never knew they were from him. Learn sometihng new everyday.

[milkman41]

I got an Omen-6 I have an Omen-7, such a beautiful guitar.

[Moses]

I have an almost broken Stagg. It's teh suk.

I was at Best Buy checking out Ipods and I just realized how annoying Juggalos are to me. I don't know why because I never had a hate for them before but now they're worse than emo kids in my mind. It's irrational but once I saw this kid, he had a shaved head with hair on top like a mohawk but in a ponytail, an ICP shirt on and was holding three Slipknot cd's. Slipknot only has three cd's except for the new live one. God, I have no idea where this came from but I can't stand them anymore.

Hah.

I have this instinct, that if anybody is sporting anything ICP or Slipknot related, I just automatically assume that I won't like them. Ususally, I'm right about that.

And actually, I have nothing against Slipknot. I used to love them. But even when I did, I hated when people wore Slipknow clothing, and made them sound like such gods.

Nothin against them. I just got bored of them after Vol.3 came out. I thought it lost all their old style, and I ditched them. And then I realized I didn't even like their old stuff anymore either.

Right now, I am soooooooo addicted to the band Refused. Omg!

[ThePatient]

One day I'm going to come into this thread and everyone will be talking about the release date for a new album and live dvd being announced. And that will be a great day indeed...

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

So, I got 100 bucks to spend at Best Buy, do you think I'll be able to find the Tool DVD's there? It doesn't look like it from what you guys are saying, which is sad. :-/

What I got for Christmas
20 Gb Creative Zen Sleek mp3 player
$100 gift certificate to Best Buy
On the Sunday Life - Porcupine Tree
Signify - Porcupine Tree
La Masquerade Infernale - Arcturus
El Cielo - Dredg (zomg finally)
Clothes
$70 Zumiez gift certificate
$200ish in cash (bank most likely)


I got various other things that I can't think of off the top of my head, but that's the general idea. Lucky boy is me.

[Futuro]

One day I'm going to come into this thread and everyone will be talking about the release date for a new album and live dvd being announced. And that will be a great day indeed... Word. It's good to get the Cd but Im gonna be even more hyped when they announce the tour :D I love live shows <3

Isis - Panopticon


for god's sake, i'm so happy for you that you got that album! :D

anyways, i wanna start posting in here regularly so ill just introduce myself.

[my name is] matt, ive been a big tool fan for about 2 and a half years now, i own all their releases to date (including salival, excluding the singles and crap, but including the two new dvd singles) and yeah.

Hey man. My name is Matt too. Good choice :thumb: .

Although, I have not even touched that Isis cd, or any others for the fact. The only one I've been listening to is Refused's The Shape of Punk to Come.

:eek:

Its so amazing. For a hardcore band, its just soooo diverse. Everything about the album is so good. Best hardcore cd, ever. And it tough to call them just that. These Swedes combine evev some industrial elements, and are very progressive at times. One song contains violin, and its just beautiful.

Seriously guys, get this cd. It really did foreshadow 'The Shape of Punk to Come'.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

anyone have power tabs of TOoL songs?

I have a bunch. I'll YSI them, since they're only like 9 kb a piece. Link coming soon.

Did anyone have a point in a thread, where you could see all the "Moses is on a distinguished road" (example)???

In the "Bands To Look Forward To In 2006" thread, I saw everyones "title".


If this makes no sense, I'm sorry.
Someone has to know what I'm talking about though :p

[Futuro]

If this makes no sense, I'm sorry.
Someone has to know what I'm talking about though You get the title depending on how much rep you have. I didnt see it on pages, But you can view it through the Source code of the webpage.

I got both DVDs today for 5 bucks. :D


I'll watch em after dinner...

[Magicaltroll]

I got the DVDs at CD-Plus.

I was hacked on Christmas Eve, right when I got back from church. :upset:

It was that Chad fag... And my accounts permanently banned, nobody seems to want to help whenever I ask.

Them mods eh

[Darkness]

Just watched the DVDs. I don't care what you guys say, I liked them. :)

He's pretty much the only problem right now. The Google hacker, what a fag. :p You could go to the merge thread in the Site forum and ask for your accounts to be merged, or just for Jim to edit the information under your current account to the specs of your previous account. Eg. your 04 join date, your post count, and (zomg most importantly) your rep. :p

If you've done that already, well then, uh, I suppose you'll have to resort to mod-head. :eek:
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
How're the interviews on the DVD's? Anything groundbreaking and/or uber imformative?

[Darkness]

Maybe I'll do that.


There are no intereviews. Just commentary. If thats what you meen, I haven't listened yet, but my friend has listened, and he said some of its funny, some of its just stupid.

[Kage]

What a waste of time. Commentary by idiots who just sit around making jokes because they can.

Still, good work on the sweet deal.

[Otherside]

Weren't we expecting the new album soon this time last year?

I find that strikingly funny.

[Kage]

I believe so.

And I find it entirely possible it will be the same case a year from now.

[Darkness]

I believe so.

And I find it entirely possible it will be the same case a year from now.
Naaaaaaaah, we have more concrete proof now. That sticker on the DVD says spring 2006. :smoke:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I think I'm gonna try and find them today at Best Buy if I go. It's different for me to get them than it would be for you to get them, Kage, because I've not even seen either of the videos, so I actually have something to look forward to. :)

Of course, then. I've seen the videos and, as much as I love the Parabola one, I won't dish out the money for some jackasses' jokes about them. :p

I believe I saw them at Best Buy the other day, so I think they'll have them.

[Moses]

So Jake, did you get my email with those songs? I had uploaded everything and put it up and then pressed the back button and lost everything. I recovered some links and I still sent those but there were supposed to be about 8 more.

[Moses]

Why do I kill the thread? WTF!!

[Darkness]

God I love that. :lol:

[Moses]

Not funny....

And the thread was going pretty fast when I posted too.

There's like some kind of allegiance against me in this thread. WHY GOD WHY?!?!?!

Well your post was directed to Dr. Jake, and him only.

[Moses]

Yeah, but it stopped everything that was going on. Grrr...

If anyone cares these are the bands that I sent him:

Wintersun
Cynic
Pain of Salvation

Bands that were originally supposed to be sent to him:

Pain of Salvation (more tracks)
Into Eternity
Protest the Hero
Wintersun
Cynic

Nice avatar.

What's your favorite album by them?

Always changing, but right now its F#A#(infinity symbol). Such a dark album, but I love it.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I'm downloading them now. A friend sent me a couple 10 mb songs, so I'm just going to try to download everything while I'm out today. Thanks again for the songs. I can't wait to hear the PoS, they sound quite promising. :-D

Sorry for the late reply, but I was in the shower. :lol:

I was in the shower. :lol:
That's where I'm bout to go.

I'm in Cambria County...I un-rar-ed them, and it still doesn't work.

Yes, I do.

Okay, well I couldn't tell you what your problem is then.

[omgwtfboogie]

Naaaaaaaah, we have more concrete proof now. That sticker on the DVD says spring 2006. :smoke:
Same thing happened with the Salival package, and it got it waaaaaaay wrong.

:(

[Syncratic]

Same thing happened with the Salival package, and it got it waaaaaaay wrong.

What did the Salival package say?

[Darkness]

The big news about this release is the sticker on the wrapper promising a new Tool album in "Spring 2006". Anyone around five years ago probably remembers a similar sticker on Salival, which predated Lateralus by a mere five months. Keep your fingers crossed. :)


From Toolshed.

[omgwtfboogie]

What did the Salival package say?
It said Lateralus was going to be released sometime in 2000 or something as I recall. Got it wrong by at least six months.

Tool fans and Isis fans seem to go together, so I was wondering if anyone could send me a song or two by Isis. I want to check them out but I don't want to pay for an entire CD without hearing them at all first.

[CockeyedMaverik]

can any1 suggest a song. from lateralus(?). im a tool newbie but i just bought the cd. from the way things sound they don't really even have guitar a guitar solo.. what puts the cd so far up there in the greatest album anywho?

again ive only listened to it all the way through one time and i was playing poker so it doesn't really count.

Well just dont look at the guitar, what makes the album so great is the complex structures of the songs and the musicianship on the album. Songs to definitly check out are:

The Grudge
The Patient
Parabola
Lateralus
Reflection

[CockeyedMaverik]

let me just say, its not very often i get done listening to a cd and have the feeling that it was just a pleasure to have listened to it.

thanks remedy for a constructive comment, i don't get very many of those in these forums.

I look forward to hearing some!

I'm having trouble gettting the Palm-muted verse to Lateralus's rythym correct.

The tab says that the verse goes like this:

E|------------------------------------------------------------|
B|------------------------------------------------------------|
G|------------------------------------------------------------|
D|--7-5-3-0--0-3-3-3-3-0-0-0-0--5-5-5-5---------------------| x7
A|--7-5-3-0--0-3-3-3-3-0-0-0-0--5-5-5-5---------------------|
D|--7-5-3-0--0-3-3-3-3-0-0-0-0--5-5-5-5---------------------|
pm---------------------------------------------|

Can anybody help me get the rythym down? I've listened to the song countless times, but the rythym is just odd.

[MidnightRider]

I just downloaded APC - Thirteenth Step out of the daily upload, it's sweet. I'm on The Outsider right now. I've heard a limited amount of both, but APC>Tool for me right now.

[Magicaltroll]

How does everyone on MX have some kind of connection with these guys? It's weird.
:lol:
I don't know the guy personally, but I met his friend in the R&M room on soulseek. We started talking, and he was ranting about them, so I wanted to get an album from them.

I was pretty shocked when I heard it, the album is REALLY good.

And, they're coming to Vegas sometime next year. I'll definitely be there, it's too bad there's some shity bands on the tour they're on.

[Syncratic]

No need to help with the verse, I figured it out!

Gravity's a good song, what are you trying to say?

What's wrong with Gravity?

[Darkness]

Look guys! They fixed my account. :spiffy:

[Sleeper]

Theres nothing very special about gravity, very bland. But it's just my opinion.

[Darkness]

I think it's a good tune... Nice vocals and atmosphereic music.

[JamJar]

Theres nothing very special about gravity, very bland. But it's just my opinion.

I have to agree. It's one of my least favourite on 13th Step, it's just nothing special to me. The Noose is the best.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

Gravity is very atmospheric, though. I like that song a lot...Although, I do agree The Noose is the best song.

[BlindWriting]

I was into APC before I started listening to Tool. Thirteenth Step is still one of my favorite albums ever. A really interesting progression from Mer De Nomes, which was really beautiful and gothic sounding. The first six tracks on that album are perfect, but in the latter half the album just kind of puttered out, with some good moments here and there. Thirteenth Step to me is just amazing throughout.

Oh and I've started a featured movie series in the Media Center. Check it out?

But then I just thought "Screw it, it's not enjoyable anyway."

[Werny]

Thirteenth Step is great, but the middle of it isn't very inspiring. The Package is ownageness.

[Merkaba]

OK....

so, is there some kind of secret code or something to the Schism DVD? I bought it just because its tool. But I was dissapointed because I thought it would have something more than just the video. Please tell me I have to click enter three times at 10 second intervals after blah blah or something like that or...or....well, I'll just stay disappointed. And what ever happened to the live dvd?

That's what I was thinking until I read some feedback in this thread. There were whisperings of a live DVD from Tool soon, and these crappy DVD's just didn't make sense.. I guess I figured that they hid the live DVD on one of them.

[Pale-Folklore]

the package = best song on 13th step

[Moses]

:lol:
I don't know the guy personally, but I met his friend in the R&M room on soulseek. We started talking, and he was ranting about them, so I wanted to get an album from them.

I was pretty shocked when I heard it, the album is REALLY good.

And, they're coming to Vegas sometime next year. I'll definitely be there, it's too bad there's some shity bands on the tour they're on.
The only thing I don't like about them is the songs aren't that memorable. However they do have ALOTTTTTTTT of potential to make some really good songs. I love the riffs. Also can you give me the track list for Kezia? I can't get the album info on my computer.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

hmmm...I happen to like "Pet" the most on 13th Step.

[got tool?]

hmmm...I happen to like "Pet" the most on 13th Step.

Amen. I love that song. Gravity and the Package are good as well.

And on another note, the tool dvds are a waste of money. Yeah, they;re cheap, but not worth the money. The videos are awesome, as are the menus, but the remixes and commentaries are trash. The commentaries have almost nothing to do with the videos and are mostly rantings and irrelevent remarks. i expected them to be thoughtful insight on the meaning of the videos. Guess not.

[omgwtfboogie]

Eh the Parabola DVD is easily worth the money, that's the best music video I've ever seen.

"The Noose" by APC is possibly the most beautiful song ever written.

[Assault_on_357]

Yeah, the Parabola DVD is nice, worth every penny....even though i wish Tool would stop putting out DVD releases and proceed with another Album.
My favorite APC song on 13th step is "Pet"

[something erotic]

While on the subject of APC....my favorite song off of Thirteenth Step would be Gravity, unlike it seems many people here.

[Darkness]

I think the commentary on the Parabola DVD is great. Me and my friend laughed.

[One Groovin Clown]

I'll have to agree with Diego, I am a huge fan of Gravity. One of my favs off of 13th Step.

[milkman41]

It's my favorite after Pet, which is just so damn good

Eh, the dvds are alright. The videos are the most amazing videos i've ever seen. The commentaries were funny, but too random. and the remixes...i didnt have the patience to listen to them in their entirety.

[Doomed To Crumble]

[Moses]

Seriously though CWA doesn't really sound progressive to me. Straight up modern rock with some progressive things in it.

No such thing as progressive pop. Brittany Spears could never make any of her songs progressive and have them still called pop.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Since we're on the topic of dredg, I personally think that Leitmotif kicks the living crap out of their other two albums. I'm probably alone on this, as most people seem to adore El Cielo, but I really dig Leitmotif. I really didn't appreciate the album until I learned a few of the songs from it on guitar. I took Engles' style for granted, but after learning Symbol Song and Movement I (numbers go here), I began to realize how unique of a style he has.

I disagree. What if she started using a more unique song structure, and had longer songs, but still overall the same general type of music?

And yes, I am arguing just for the sake of it. :D

/looses the argument I never really supported

[Otherside]

You can't seriously be calling all pop music monotoneous. Pop doesn't mean mainstream by the way. Indie-pop bands like The Arcade Fire and The Shins are definitley unique.

[Moses]

Never said monotoneous just not unique, because if you want to be popular you can't do somthing weird, atleast nobody has. Indie-pop isn't really pop anyway.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Lightbulb Sun is a pop album, yet at the same time, it is very progressive. If jazz metal can be done, then prog pop can be done.

[Moses]

Lightbulb Sun is not pop. It's rock to me.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Songs like How is your Life Today?, Where We Would Be,The Rest Will Flow , and Feel so Low make me think otherwise. Those songs are definitely pop, no doubt. Every song has very poppy moments, but then again, it is also a very progressive album.

That's why I'd consider it a prog pop album. :shrug:

I agree, Leitmotif is my favorite.. The reason you mentioned being one of them... The main riff for Symbol Song is pure genius..
Another reason is that the album feels like a journey, moreso than any other cd I've heard.... The booklet enhanced this quite a bit

I'm not sure what you mean by progression. If you mean progressive rock, you listened to the completely wrong album for that. If you meant making progress as a band and progressing from their old material, then I see where you're coming from.

I don't think CWoA is a good introduction to the band, in any case.

I enjoy CWoA a lot, but, in retrospect, I really think they could have done something better, even with the songs they had. Rather than making songs like Zebraskin, Sang Real, and Jamais Vu pop songs, they should've Dredg-ed 'em up a bit more. :-/

[Shadius]

Well you only got El Cielo a little while ago.@ Jake

Pop= popular music
unique song structures= not popular

In fact:
unique= not popular

Rubbish. Anyway, this debate is pointless, pop as a genre dosn't have a very defined sound, other than having characterists that make it accessable to a large audience of people. ie: Hooks, simple "catchy" melody.

Pink Floyd's Money is a great pop song, pop because it was their breakthrough popular single and was in the pop charts for a long time. Mostly in a 7/8 time signiture, or whatever, then changes to 4/4. Sounds "unique" in structure to me, but the way it's done it's very accessable and catchy.

Obviously it's progressive rock music, you know, hints of blues, has a sax, interesting structure, guitars doing off-beat things, used samples for one of the first times in popular music. But it's also a pop song.

In the same way that OK Computer is a great pop album. Thom Yorke insists they are pop songs, but they're done so arty and interestingly that i'd consider it more art-rock, hints of space rock, electionica, jazz, but i'm not going to go off on one if someone calls the album a pop-album.

Besides, CWA has very simple song structures, pretty much all the same, in fact. This is very un-progressive in characteristic, and very poppy. The only characteristics of progressiveness would maybe be some of the chords and chord progressions, and the way they incorporated their different influences together to make their fairly unique sound. Even so, it's not very prog, and definately has more in common with pop (being focused around catchy melodies and simple song structures and hooks). It's also rock music as well.

People and their genre debating and insisting something fits into one category (even a double-barreled one) exclusively can often be fairly naive. Often with more fresh sounding music, all you have is a case for a band or song being in a particular genre, but this dosn't necesserally mean there isn't a case for calling it something else too, and some bands... a lot of the ones i'm sure a lot of people posting here listen to incorporate so many different characteristics into their sound it's sometimes impossible to *completely* pin them down with a word or two.

[BlindWriting]

gg toolband.

[Bootlegmysoul]

Damn...I was just reading a few of the first couple pages of this thread, and I don't think many people actually get what TOOL is really about. Just because there are religious references in "Eulogy", doesn't necessarily mean that it's about jesus or god.....Maynard's just commenting on cult-leaders like L.Ron Hubbard, evil liars like George W.Bush, celebrities, etc. etc. Whoever people decide to look up to and put upon a pedestal and worship.....you know those televangelists that people send all of their money too....the people that leave people with that empty(no-hope)feeling only to build hope back up in their image. It's all applicable to whatever you want it to be. I find it funny that Maynard was trying to warn everyone about Scientology and the evils of it like 10 years ago, and only now is it recognized as an evil corporate scam that has murdered people for money, taken on the IRS and won, and the "inner-circle" of this "church" have their hands in ALOT of other **** as well.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

It's probably the most progressive and artsy piece Tool has ever written.

Hasn't he always combined use between electric and acoustic?

And where could I find this?

[Werny]

Hasn't he always combined use between electric and acoustic?

Definitely. He uses them for tabla parts (he uses real tabla in studio though), and heaps of other parts, like in The Grudge before "clutch it like a cornerstone". I love his use of them, he only adds a little bit to each song, not sounding artificial.

Toolband is getting updated less frequently now and it seems that the momentum that was gained with the release of the singles has now slowed again.

[TheMachineRagesOn]

I agree clearvision its really getting ridiculous now, i was told last christmas it would be released at the start of the year (2005). Well its 2006 and hey :wave:

Oh well from what little info i can gather from Toolband and other sources it's gonna be well worth it.

[Kurrpt]

just let it go...


im SURE you'll all know when its official

[Shadius]

While it is annoying to have one of your favourite bands CD's take forever to come out, just listen to other bands and get some other new CD's, and when theres some official news, you will know.

I'm sure a lot of people havn't been waiting since 2001 for a new CD, most Tool fans on here seem to be post-Lateralus people, or Lateralus era, and took a while to get their old CD's as well, so they havn't been without new Tool for *that* long. It could be worse, for loads of artists you have to wait a couple of years or so.

I'm just listening to a lot of Opeth lately, and can tolerate waiting now, because I know it's going to be very soon that I have my hands on the new album.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

I bet we get some negative reviews in the first few days of the album being released. I just think people are going to put their expectations on a really high level, and if they're not immediately met with something they consider amazing they'll be disappointed.

[paganman7]

The album will be worth the wait, I'm sure of it. It's Tool. I trust them to evolve as much as they've said they have.

This will prolly be either second to last or the last of Tool's album releases. The rate they go out, although it does help them create music, is too slow for much else of quality.

Lateralus was first, and the new album second of a three-record deal, from what I remember.

On a somewhat tool-related note, while we're all waiting for their album, Puscifer (another one of Maynard's side projects) will have a new song called "The Undertaker" on the Underworld Evolution soundtrack. Most of the rest of the soundtrack looks awful, so I'd just download it.

Pretty much anything Tool makes on video is either highly influenced in acid trips of a highly hyperactive director, or the creepiest piece of animation you'll ever see. Ever.

I was young when I first watched... uh... yes it was Schism, actually, and I thought it was pretty disgusting. 3 years later, I downloaded it and played it for about a week or so everytime I sat on the computer. ah memories. :)

Anywho, Parabol/Parabola video is pretty rad as well.

Well all I know is that they're a brother-sister contortionist act, they were actually on stage during a lot of the Lateralus tour. They're in Men In Black II (or is it the first movie...?) somewhere, too.

It's certainly a very trippy video, I love it. I love Parabol(a) too, it has a weird vibe to it, especially with the forest outside.

If I could have the OK show as well, please.. :D

And if anyone has the 81st Chakra, as well..? I haven't had a chance to hear either of these..

[got tool?]

Ok, theres lots of confusion over 81st chakra, so let me clear it up. It is NOT a new single and it is NOT by tool but it is frickin HILARIOUS. It basically mocks tool and their style.

Greatest part: the ending :smash:
