[QUOTE=Xdrown6in6bileX]Well first off Maynard may worship satan because he was the only child of a baptist minister.. Right now I will say I do not know much about religion so he may have been brought up with so many restrictions he sees jesus christ as the "bad guy" and has turned against the religion.

"[B]Die Eier Von Sataan[/B]"

is German for the eggs of satan. This song is just a German recipie (sp) about making some kind of tradtional Germanic dish. My stepdad happens to be from Berlin, so he had just told me what it meant, and it was pretty much like they took a page out of a book and translated it into German. This thread has made me want to go and work on a few songs, so I shall post my finding soon.[/QUOTE]
oh sure hash cookies is a traditional dish in germany...

alright thats it! im moving to germany.

Tool is just plain out awesome Lyrics,Musically,and yeh

This thread is getting a bit dry for anything good at the moment. That means random hypothetical question time!

You can meet any tool member for just 1 minute.
You need to decide:
1) Which member
2) 1 serious question you would ask
3) 1 random/funny/pointless question

This may or may not work, but still, it gives me something to do, ill post mine in a while

Adam Jones, I would ask him what his life was like as a teenager, what kind of things he was into, and the funny question, how often do u masturbate?

whats Lateralus mean?

Iv been listening to tool alot lately and i really like their stuff. But what genre of metal would you classify them under? Not that it matters, Il continue to listen to them because I like them, but just outa curiosity.......

im not too sure. i think its a muscle in your back that has a lot to do with merkaba. Though, the muscle doesnt seem to actually exist. there is some kind of lateralus muscle in your thigh somewhere. I know. Lets ask merkaba 1. Fill us in merkaba!!

Danny- Can you teach me your technique and how to better myself???----funny one---Can I have your drumset NOW!??---another funny one--Mind if I cover for ya on the next album??

[QUOTE=Cicatriz-ESP]I know what the song "Stinkfist" is about, its about Anal Fisting -_0[/QUOTE]

"knuckle deep inside the borderline, this may hurt a little but it's something you'll get used to." I thought that sounded right but it's not typical tool lyrics.good song though

Ya I've always been interested to see what other Tool fans would categorize Tool as. I guess I would call them soul metal. lol. Some Tool fans say progressive metal, I don't completely agree with that though.

^^^pics of my autographed items and so forth

Zaum, anyone else heard them?

I have their demo, from 1996 or so. It is pretty good, with Danny's great drumwork. Email me if anyone wants it, I can send it through my ISP.

I also have the Children Of The Anachronistic Dynasty album, "Fingernails" and the TexANS album "Never Again." Same, email me if you want them.

[email]swingonaspiral@charter.net[/email]

hey swingonaspriral, how do Children of the Anachronistic Dynasty sound? Pretty good, i'm thinking but just wanted to know...are they anything like Tool..i mean, lyrically or musically? I've never heard any of their stuff. I've heard some of Texans but not them.

I emailed you singonaspiral. How did you get the album?

What show/band did you get them at? I know he's been really cool about fans during the PLC shows, meeting as many as he can after shows.

(Pity they wont tour England, not known at all here)

And as for how tool is classified i would have to put them under prog metal, but im against any kind of music classification, it only helps music stores and playlists.

Haha. Ya you're right man. Musical classifications only help the music stores and play lists.

I was listening to C.A.D., and their music reminded me a lot of the track Third Eye.

Anybody else seen the Astoria bootleg, with the kickass Push it ??!!

Ok, no need to post mine now, its just been said :lol:

two new branches?
 

Hey all, great thread,
I've just discovered it and spent all evening reading all 16 **** pages to check what i've been missing.
and so now I have a couple of points to bring up:

1) it was mentioned a while ago that thoughts re APC would be welcome here too...does that still stand, and if so may i get the ball rolling sometime soon?

2) whats everyones suggestions for other music to listen between playings of tool?
I enjoy a million and one bands but only count myself as a fan of a few, so i'd be interested to hear what other directions you have all taken.

and i thought of one more:
3) any other Australian toolheads wandering around in here?
love to hear from ya

ok, so I said two new branches in my title....but really, anyone into Danny Carey should be used to that 3-against-2 feel ;)

cheers - a_u_m

1) Adam
2) where do you see Tool being in 10 years?
3) whats with that video of Maynard beating up a guy on stage?

he didnt beat him up, more like , subdued him in self defense causes, plus the guy loved it, as would i, cause maynard does the rest of Push it on the guys back with the mic cord rapped around his neck. awesome. I let my drummer borrow it in my last band and i never got it back after we split up...bastids!

he just tackels him to the ground and stis on top of him and continues to sing

I've never heard about Maynard sitting on top of someone and singing. Thats funny though.

If you guys haven't already been to this Tool fan site, its f.ukcing awesome. Lots of great info., wallpapers, quotes, etc. Here is the link [URL=http://www.toolpantheon.com]Tool[/URL]

:lol: I saw that video (sitting on my PC at mo), and its great the 'position' he sits on the guy. Security must have sucked at that show though

First of all, welcome! And kudos for you for reading all the pages, lots of good stuff here at the moment.

1) APC, PLC, Peach, Zaum, Aloke (tabla guy), Volto, etc. All these can be discussed here, anything that is related to tool, whether it be side projects, influences or other links. (I personally would like to find someone else who enjoys the work of Bill Hicks) All ok to discuss here, im sure that most Tool fans have a wide range of tastes

2) All of the above, plus Dream theatre and opeth seem to be two other bands that tool fans like al lot, due to meaningful lyrics and layered instruments

3) Not an aussie sorry, but I have great respect for the guys (although like I've mentioned before, i wanna find one stertypical aussie, just one!)

I got all that stuff I said off of DC++ (downloading). I also have (almost) all the Tool bootlegs and the rare stuff, etc.

C.A.D. sounds very.. different. Sort of an industrial sound for the 80s.

Zaum is pretty good, like one of their songs' titles goes, it's a Psychedelic Experience. They also have a song called Merkaba, but has no musical relation to Tool's. The backing sound/voice in Psychedelic Experience is also the backing sound in Tool's Merkaba.

Regarding Bill Hicks... greatest man to ever live. I have a bunch of his stuff too, and it's all great.

Good man! I just bought the book 'Love all the people' which is great to read and pick out where Maynard got influences from. tragedy that he's no longer here, I really wish that they would repeat one of his shows on TV though, especially some of the Channel 4 ones

I wanna see this Maynard video! Does anyone out here, have any good reading recommendations? Like some books Tool related? Like Adam Jones is God mentioned that Bill Hicks book. Any more?

I just saw that Maynard video. Its hilarious!

Thanks Adam Jone is GOD,
Something I've found puzzling is that in all the dissertations about Aenima the song, I can't remember anyone mentioning that a whole section of some Bill Hicks shows was devoted the "shrieks and f***ing gut-laughs" that he'd enjoy when L.A. finally collapses into Arizona Bay, like a religious experience of the christian god flooding the world in the Noah tale.
Just thought i'd mention it....i'll try and find the exact show i'm thinking of, but really its hard to go past the CD that Hicks actually titled [I]Arizona Bay[/I]!

Oh, and Opeth is already a fave, Dream theatre i've yet to enjoy, but i really should...anyone have any other listening ideas, perhaps local groups that haven't ventured as far as the land down under yet??

keep cool all,
a_u_m

hey is there a link on the net to get that particular portion of the boot(that one song)? thats really all i want...for now....Push it. plus its one of my fave songs.

This is odd....

Hmm, I would say he's proably looking to make easy scam money, but with his ebay reputation, why? It wont be Tool in any case, if it is, its unauthorised stuff. Ill dig deeper

He can afford to have negative feedback. That's the secret for big sellers. One in 200 sales can be completely bogus or a scam and it won't matter because your feedback won't sink very much.
