my old amp would pick up some monk radio station and stuff, it was all wierd hums and chanting and it would always freak me out

magicbus 02-18-2005 11:44 PM

[QUOTE=Maynard's Dick]How do are you guys getting the radio stations? My friend once got one by touching the guitar jack with the cable, is that what you are doing?[/QUOTE]
Yea it was something like that. Just touching the jack, so it gets that fuzz. I didn't work on my amp, just this other old one we were using. Or maybe they're aren't any radio waves going by my house.

jakrabit 02-19-2005 02:45 PM

Darkness 02-19-2005 07:46 PM

I just take the power AC adaptor and touch it on the rim of my RP100 and i get about 2 at the same time. There was another way..which I can't recall right now.

If you're going to try the TV remote thing, then turn the distortion on your guitar all the way up. When I tried it with my bass, you could barely hear it, but when I cranked the distortion all the way up, it was loud enough to freak out my dog downstairs.

Darkness 02-19-2005 09:18 PM

Nice name dude ^ Burton+Chancellor would be like..the greatest thing ever.

jamesclelland 02-20-2005 12:59 PM

i wasn't real impressed with the remote trick. i could find cool uses but i'm not looking for that kink of sound

[QUOTE=Everything_and_Nothing_3:15]What is the song Hooker with a ***** about?[/QUOTE]
[B]Hooker with a P.enis[/B]

[I]I met a boy
wearing Vans,
501s,
and a dope beastie-tee,
nipple rings,
and new tattoos

that claimed that he
was OGT,
from '92,
the first EP.

and in between
sips of coke
he told me
that he thought we

were sellin' out,
layin' down,
suckin' up
to the man.

Well now I've got some advice for you, little buddy.
Before you point the finger you should know that I'm the man,
and if I'm the man, then you're the man, and he's the man as well
so you can point that f.uckin' finger up your ***.

All you know about me is what I've sold you,
Dumb f.uck. I sold out long before you ever heard my name.
I sold my soul to make a record,
Dip ****, and you bought one.

So I've got some Advice for you, little buddy.

So ...
Shut up and Buy

F.uck you, buddy[/I]

my friend, this is quite a good question. the way i see it, hooker with a ***** is another way of talking about "fanboys", in the way that Maynard and the boys had "sold out before you ever heard my name" and that they had "sold my soul to make a record" (perhaps stating an athiest perspective to life as opposed to satanism or christianity)

[I]I met a boy
wearing Vans,
501s,
and a dope beastie-tee,
nipple rings,
and new tattoos

that claimed that he
was OGT,
from '92,
the first EP.[/I]

the above may be a physical description of early-on "fanboys" where they tried to be what the media claims to be "hardcore" :evil: and when they meet with them/talk to them, the come out to this:

[I]and in between
sips of coke
he told me
that he thought we

were sellin' out,
layin' down,
suckin' up
to the man.[/I]

here, the "fanboys" claim that Tool has sold out, and that they were 'sellin' out' , 'layin' down' (if the first album wasn't so hot, which i promise you, it [I]was[/I]), 'sucking up to the man' (perhaps the head of a recording contract? :confused: ) Maynard then comes back with:

[I]Well now I've got some advice for you, little buddy.
Before you point the finger you should know that I'm the man,
and if I'm the man, then you're the man, and he's the man as well
so you can point that f.uckin' finger up your ***.[/I]

here, he says that he sees it otherwise, and that he, infact, [B]is[/B] the man, and therefore, random person to the left may be the man, and you may as well br the man, so the finger that he was (metaphorically) pointing at Tool can go up his tight little "fanboy" ***. He then explains this:

[I]All you know about me is what I've sold you,
Dumb f.uck. I sold out long before you ever heard my name.
I sold my soul to make a record,
Dip ****, and you bought one.[/I]

here, maynard continues explaining that the only time that he 'sold out' was before there even was a record, and that he in fact sold his soul to make it (perhaps showing his love for music, and fans othat feel the same), and to make it all the more ironic, this "fanboy" bought a record.

[I]So I've got some Advice for you, little buddy.
Before you point your finger You should know that I'm the man.
If I'm the f.uckin' man then you're the f.uckin' man as well,
So you can Point that f.uckin' finger up your ***.[/I]

he then re-explains the fact that he is 'the f.uckin' man', and that 'you're the f.uckin' man as well' and to shove his little fanboy finger up his tight little ***. then, he takes the media, and crams it up the little twat's nose:

[I]All you know about me is what I've sold you,
Dumb f.uck. I sold out long before you ever heard my name.
I sold my soul to make a record, Dip ****, And you bought one.

and then he shares his honest opinions on the little ignorant b@stard.

well, i hope this helps with your Tool Indulgences.

Just remember I will always love you, even as I tear your f.ucking throat away. :evil:

[QUOTE=Xdrown6in6bileX]Yeah, It keeps saying "..And no eggs" but the song's title does translate to "the eggs of satan"...I am positive about this...Check it out.[/QUOTE]
maybe he thinks that the eggs belong to satan, therefore:

a) he doesnt deserve them, because satan is a higher being in his eyes, or
b) he thinks that the eggs belong to satan, and that only the worshippers of satan use eggs.

just my pov.

:evil:

[QUOTE]and that he in fact sold his soul to make it (perhaps showing his love for music, and fans othat feel the same)[/QUOTE]

When he said "sold my soul to make a record", what he hated was the fact that he had to become the thing he hated most.

One Groovin Clown 02-20-2005 04:34 PM

I'm reading the Lyrics to Jimmy right now. I've been trying to figure out a meaning behind it.


I've kind of gotten an image of a soldier, remembering why he is fighting this war and how his loved one will guide him safely home. The second verse where he chants eleven, i'm thinking that it is a symbol of Nov. 11 rememberance day.

This was a short interpretation of the song, but it's what i understand of it.

What are your thought about this song?

clearvision 02-20-2005 04:37 PM

In hooker...

The part about being OTT back in '92...this was when the band first hit the scene, Maynard tells him thats basically bollox to be OTT he'd have basically had to be IN the band, to be there from the beggining.

Jimmy is about Maynard just letting go of his abused childhood...Jimmy is the young version of James...Dead ohio sky implies it was MJK as he grew up In ohio...all the references to 11 is his age..:) i think...

Yea that could work to, but as we all know it could be sometinh all together out of context.

BTW this is my second account, i forgot my password on the first one (CoopALoop)

Adam Jones is GOD 02-20-2005 04:41 PM

YOu sure you dont mean OGT? Which was the short hand for 'Official Gangster of Tool', some sort of fan base (probably fictional piss take, but without being around in tools early days, I dont know)

clearvision 02-20-2005 04:46 PM

Yeah thats what i wanted to put but i couldn't remember the specifics, but you knew what i meant though ;)

/pwn3d by the all knowing AJIG

Otherside 02-20-2005 04:47 PM

AJG have you read Nothing in this book is true, but it's exactly how it is? I was looking through it on amazon and saw something I thought was interesting...

"bill Cooper is now honorably discharged from the Navy. He states that in 1972, he saw two reports relating to the goverment involvement with alien creatures while working as a quartermaster with an intelligence brifing team for the U.S. Admiral Bernard A. Clarey then Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet. Bill served in that capacity from 1970 to 1973.
He states that the two reports he saw were: 1) Project GRUDGE/BLUE BOOK Report NO. 12 and 2) MAJORITY Briefing.
The GRUDGE report he saw contained about twenty five black and white photographs of "alien life forms" and information about them..."

I thought the name grudge was interesting as this book was supposed to be a Tool influence...

clearvision 02-20-2005 04:50 PM

I really want that book. I shall get my aunt to buy it when she comes over from yankee land next. Any-one apart form sonorken read it?

Otherside 02-20-2005 04:54 PM

Here's something else: "There is a field of energy that is fifty-five feet around the body that is geometrical and crystalline in nature. The remembering of this field is triggered by a series of metaphysical drawins that are light replicas of the 44+2 chromosomes in every cell of your body and specificaly in your pineal gland."


[url]http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/1583940677/ref=sib_dp_pt/104-6723802-3949543#reader-page[/url]

If you want to read the first few pages...

clearvision 02-20-2005 04:55 PM

It is supposed to be like a breif insight into the philosphies of tool. Dealing with the metaphysical ideas such as the 3rd eye, Merkaba, and the chromosome arrangement.

Dya reckon there is a free E-book floating about?

Otherside 02-20-2005 04:59 PM

Not that I'm aware of, but you might want to try soul seek..

Not yet, but SFK and various others have recommended it to me. Once im in a more fincancially stable period, and have less to read, I will get looking. So far i have Andy McNabs latest offering and The Salmon Of Doubt to read through.

But anything that gets me thinking or questioning I have to get a hold of

I was gonna get that from the library, but it was out. :upset:

Instead I got some Carl Jung stuff, a book by Timothy Leary, and some stuff on the Golden Number.

Dried Muffin Remnants 02-20-2005 06:35 PM

I had no idea about MJK's abusive childhood. I figured that Jimmy was just about innocence and childhood in general. Guess I should have known something was up because the song is pretty heavy.

Dried Muffin Remnants 02-20-2005 06:38 PM

I wish Tool would put out a better DVD than Salival. And why the **** to they have Message to Harry Manback on it? That's ****ed up.

Anyways, I can't even find Salival anywhere except Amazon and on Amazon it's like $100.

magicbus 02-20-2005 07:31 PM

I've been trying to get it off Ebay. You might wanna check there.

Fernandes Power 02-20-2005 07:36 PM

I really want to get into TOOL... I went on the website though, and it seemed so pretentious and false... almost like they were just having a bit of fun with it (band member profiles specifically).

[QUOTE=Fernandes Power]I really want to get into TOOL... I went on the website though, and it seemed so pretentious and false... almost like they were just having a bit of fun with it (band member profiles specifically).[/QUOTE]
Maynard always comes off as prententious.

1. Claiming or demanding a position of distinction or merit, especially when unjustified.
2. Making or marked by an extravagant outward show; ostentatious. See Synonyms at showy.

He is a good showman and his statements are justified too.
