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.

osseus labyrint is their name. And you are right, they toured with Tool during their Lateralus tour to provide a sort of visual performance art in addition to the audio performance.

Can I get that Chakra song I'm hearing about? Is it a new single off the album or something?

It's not a new single or anything. It's just a rather well thought out parody done by a Tool fan(or perhaps a non-fan). It basically pokes fun at all of Tool's little nuances, but it's worth while.

The Big Day Out festival has been confirmed; Tool are not scheduled to appear (www.bigdayout.com). I think this is what he was talking about:

From Toolshed:

"Ruby", a forum member from Norway, writes, "The national channel TV2 here in Norway reported today that Tool will play the Quart festival this summer." That festival is currently scheduled for July 4-8.

We haven't been able to confirm this, but it looks promising.

No, not that one. There was an update on the 6th which said..'COMING SOON' and then there was a picture of some like...mayan thing or something. I don't know exactly what it was.

I disagree. I would appreciate that you don't present your opinion as pure fact though, but I, and a ton of people I know much prefer APC to Tool. I love Tool, but I realize they're one dimensional as hell and while their progressive input and lengthy songs are impressive, they're not what I look for in a "favorite band" or anything. Most of their songs sound the same to me.
On the other hand every APC song is a different ride for me. The ambient atmosphere and (by FAR) the melodies and emotions presented surpass Tool in virtually all ways I can come up with. Not to say Tool doesn't do that better than, oh, 80% of the bands I listen to, I just find APC to top them in all manners I find important.

This, of course, disregards Emotive. Decent album, I don't hate it, but I can safely say anything Tool has ever done tromps it it every way.

I'd tell you but I haven't listened to Tool in a long time and I don't have any Tool since my harddrive fried. Either way, don't start with Tool. You'll have a really hard time, so start with somthing like Rage Against The Machine (which will still give you a challenge).

Shadius
01-09-2006, 08:41 PM
If you've never played drums before, seriously don't start with Tool. Start off with some radio rock for the first few weeks. Work up to stuff like RatM, which is fairly simple, but not rank amature stuff. Then if you want to try Tool, go for the Opiate EP first, then the albums in order have the more challenging drum stuff on them.

I didn't say they don't put thought or care into their art. "Most thoughtful" or "most effortful" would definitely spin off some of the most bloated and opinionated responses ever, what's the point? And Sigur Ros would not be one of my answers, I'd suggest Pain of Salvation, Haggard or Ayreon but that's unrelated.

As for all songs sounding the same, I obviously don't mean the entire song is the same (see:Nickelback), but rather they rarely deviate from their sound. Example: Lateralus. Or even Opiate from their debut. Name me the song you know from Tool that sounds the furthest thing from that song discounting jokes like Faaip de Oaid or Message to Harry Manback. Hell, I really don't hear Lateralus or Opiate as profoundly different, as much as "3 Libras" might sound from "The Package" or "Judith". This may be a good thing to many fans, as hey, Tool sticks to the style. But I digress. The fact is, someone was pretty much saying everyone would agree Tool makes better music than APC which...I have to disagree. Tool's still on a "Top Ten Must Listen" for me, I just had to voice that not everyone in the world agrees they sound better than APC.


Good point.

BUT

I would say that Pig Destroyer puts more emotion into their songs than any other band I've ever heard.

More like Anal cun_t. "311 Sucks" sure pulls on my heartstrings.

Interesting, I feel the other way around. I feel theres a huge change from Opiate to Lateralus. Example? Listen to Sweat, then listen to Reflection. Theres growth and style change there. Or even something from the same record, Disposition and Ticks & Leeches. Where as APC, while I love them, and get a lot out of listening to them, I feel they sound a bit similar throughout. The slower sounds all sound kind of similar to me. But this is all really opinionated, obviously.

Yeah.
But they're quite different from every other band I've heard that are plaved in that genre.

I'm convinced that Scott Hull (their guitarist) is a musical genius though.
If you listen to their new stuff, it's really amazing how everything flows, and how complicated some of the riffs are. And those riffs, alongside J.R.'s lyrics, is in my opinion, everything music should be.

An emotional rollercoaster ;)

Lateralus sounds absolutely nothing like Opiate, wash your ears out!

There's a progression that you can follow that lets you know it's the same band from album to album, but if you jumped right from the EP to Lateralus, you wouldn't even think it was the same band, there's pretty much no reason to think you would, other than possibily recognising the vocalist, but his style is drastically different on many songs (different on all). The song structure and style is totally different, as well as the tone of the instruments.

Better not. Reports a while back said they were heading in a bit more aggressive, meshuggah inflluenced direction. I like APC too, but they better not become the same band. Billy determines where the music goes with APC, and I don't think Maynard is all that involved in the actually music for Tool either.

deadinholywood
01-12-2006, 09:22 PM
we calculated that Salma will probably do her little nightclub snake-dance at least three thousand more times as they put the finishing touches on the mixing of the new recording (segues, voice overs, effects, etc.). Here I should explain that, for whatever reason, Joe Barresi has the Salma Hayek dance sequence from the movie “From Dusk ‘Till Dawn” on a constant loop on the large monitor in the studio*. This has been playing non-stop throughout the entire recording/mixing process, so if you figure the approximate time of the loop (i.e. Salma's dance) and know that they put in about 12 plus hour days(6 days a week), you’ll get some idea of how much longer they’ll be at the console tweaking the thing

This made me laugh... but i wish they would spend less time watching salma dance and more time finishing the album.
Voice overs??? more stuff like Faaip De Oiad? or do you think that it will be within the songs themselves?

Well, I actually did DL the scene and all I can say is...."THAT WAS FEKIN HOOOT!!!"....But on to more serious matters.

The dance aprox. took 4min. so 4*3000=12000min
12000/60=200hrs
200hrs/12=17days (aprox)
17/6= 3 weeks (aprox)

So in conclusion the mixing should atleast take 3 weeks.
Add a couple a weeks for factory pressing the CDs and Artwork print and all that crap and u would most probably end up in march....

A voiceover is where you put a voice, over a scene, or piece of music, or whatever. I initially thought he was talking about doubling the vocals, or tripling, like they usually do in music now to make it sound lusher.

Tool's Bottom, I might consider a voice over, with Henry Rollins. Or could it be more on the lines of Third Eye, with the Bill Hicks thing, and the News Reporter guy.

Either way; cool.

Oh, okay. I think Blair means voice over like what is described in the wikipedia definition. A voice that describes a story or tells a story, or something like that. Like the first track on Dream Theaters "Scenes From a Memory." Then again...who the hell knows what Blair is ever talking about?

You mean like... narration? Wow... maybe it's a concept album.

Well it states that refelction is a very clear piece of art, that it´s about the creation of life and the intervention of man in such and also they say it´s abotu the desecration of nature made by man, and in consequence of this the desecreation of man.

Hey Moses, I downloaded Remedy Lane and I ****ing love it. I've been listening to it all day, it's unstoppable. Great stuff.

This album is really original in the way the songs are written and the way they use melodic and harmonic lines. The piano is great. Just really original, well-written stuff.

Drummer did a good job.

I just watched this finally. It was a solid cover and the vocalist's voice was REALLY similar to Maynard's, but holy crap. If that's how the band plays all their songs, then they must be the most boring live act ever.

Well you know how in english, "nuts" and "balls" figuratively refer to testicles but still mean other things? Well in german Eier (eggs) is the same, it's slang for testicles. The song "die eier von satan" is a joke (it's also worth pointing out there's not really any "context" to take the word out of in its use here). Why do you think the crowd laughs every time he says "und keine eier"? There's nothing particularly funny about the word eggs, but he's pretty much saying "and no testicles," hence the reaction. Also in the rundown of the song the hash is never actually mixed into the ingrediants anyway.

maybe not laughing, but there's cheerring applause etc. There's no reason the phrase "and no eggs" would illicit any kind of response whatsoever from the crowd, unless it also meant something else as well - it's definitely intended to have double meaning and is received that way. Also, not specifically talking to you Kage, but I don't see how anyone who doesn't speak german could have any part in this argument.

Told you. Prog at its best. Be is supposed to be really genius too but I haven't heard most of it. The concept is really cool, it's about God as a self aware being and he creates all of humanity basically to find out more about himself.

Are you talking about the concept of Remedy Lane or Be? I haven't paid much attention to lyrics, because the music has enthralled me too much.

The other stuff you showed me was meh, but I really dig the full band arrangements. But thanks for the recommendation. Undertow is my favorite song and one of the best new songs I've heard in a very long time.

Well, Mr. Expert of German and Tool, maybe there's cheering and applause because the cheering/applause has no relation to anything they're saying. As has already been said in this thread, one interpretation of the song is that it's a display of how everything is not always as it seems: the song strongly resembles Hitler's Nazi rallys, and they might have made the song knowing that a lot of people will hear it and think it's incredibly menacing and scary, yet it's merely a recipe for cookies.

hello people of this tool forum. i just wanted to add an interpretation of what disposition means to me that is.

Mention this to me, mention something mention anything mention this to me
and watch the weather change.

THese are the only lyrics throughout the song as many of you know.
but, you have to listen to the music as well, to get my view, well
i see this piece as someone who is old, or Dying. They're just sitting/lying there looking outside the window until someone mentions something to this person, and when he looks outside again the weather has changed its shaped.

This is what i got from the beauty of this song.

So it seems as though the Tool site is gonna be going through some big changes. Maybe that's the reason not much has been happening on the site...and that might also be a reason why there hasn't been a damn newsletter. Anyway, I was reading through the toolnavy boards and someone posted this link up:

http://mmusergroup.breezecentral.com/p96636002/

It's some chat going on with this web designer, Joshua Davis, who is supppose to be working on a new layout. It's a bit interesting. He talks about his first visit with Tool and he shows some pictures of the band rehearsing stuff off Lateralus. Also shows a picture of the band's toilet in the studio full of sh!t. Seems like they keep their gold and platinum records right next to it. Anyway, it's a lengthy interview. He doesn't really get into Tool probably until about thirteen mins into the chat. I didn't get all the way through it 'cause I was having problems with my computer but anyone who's bored and interested...there ya go. Nothing great but perhaps a peak into what might be the new art or theme.
