Werny, thanks for your comments!

I believe you are correct about Disposition, Reflection and Triad.
It works that way on the Qabala, as well.

However, depending on where you choose to begin and it is also interchangeable with Lateralus, Disposition and then Reflection.

That reminds me... Once upon a time while listening to Triad on a good dose of X, I experienced a hallucination/vision of a giant muscle, not unlike a brain, but not as defined. There was an enormous amout of movement and force, to the rhythm of Triad. I am trying to find a nice way to animate this idea, to share the experience with others. Gee, I hope that wasnt too incriminating...Eh, feel free not to comment on this.

[QUOTE=kombucha mushroom mofo]If anybody has Gmail, do you think you could send me live versions of Push it and/or Third Eye?

EDIT: I'm out, so I will leave you with a few words from the liner notes of Ænima

See You Auntie

My Gmail's not working right now, but when I go to my dad's house later I'll send you them then.

[QUOTE=HerMelin]Does anyone know about the weird movements Maynard does live? It looks like theres something wrong with his balance.[/QUOTE]

i just thought he was high

I tried Gmailing the files, they are too big though.

I sent him push-it I think. :wave:

does anyone know what synth adam uses? after hearing reflection i must know. playing guitar and synth on two different time sigs at the same time is amazing

Though I can't answer your question, I just have to say that upon hearing Reflection for the first time, I think it changed my life. Such an amazingly good song.

YEah dude, Tool are just amazing. They've influenced my life in so many positive ways. I'd say they're the only band that have had such a profound impact on me.

You know ever since Lateralus (sp? sorry) they have become more mainstream. I hope this doesn't have an effect on their music. I don't think it will......but it wouldn't be the first time somthing like that happened to a great band like that.

I doubt it will effect their music. They have been fairly mainstream ever since Ænima. You have to be a fairly well known band to win a Grammy, correct? So, as of yet, it has had no effect.

The whole of Lateralus as an album really influenced and inspired me as a musician and a listener. I can honestly say that Tool's music has changed me as a person, all for the better. It really inspired me on so many levels.
The moment tickets go on sale in the NYC area, I'm definitely buying a few. I would love to see them live (and witness Maynard's ape-like stage presence).

Well I guess thats true, but well I guess what I mean is since Lateralus I've seen a bigger poser fan base.

Well, I've got some advice for you, little buddy!

even since undertow they had some mainstream attention. that didn't effect aenima or lateralus in anyway, in fact aenima and lateralus are my favorites. they believe in the music so much that i don't think they'll fall to the mainstream syndrome. they may change to a style i may not like(gods forbid) but they wont catch the infamous syndrome

The mainstream attention could have been positive, it doesn't always have to be negative! But, I don't think we can find out whether or not the attention had anything to do with it.

i hated the sh¡t out of tool for a long time, and the only song i heard was schism. but today i dowloaded aenema, lateralus and the grudge. they have great guitar/bass lines and there drums are pretty cool. the only thing is i dont realy like the vocals.

Try Disposition, Reflection and Triad. These are great songs, listen to them in that order to because they all go together. Not very much singing, if you don't like Maynard's style/voice.

I know what you mean. At school, all these poseur goths think they're into Tool.

Fag: "Man, I'm into them because they're so freaking hardcore and heavy maaan."
Me: "They're not heavy. Try some Meshuggah."
Fag: *cries*
Me: *Plays air guitar to Third Eye*

:lol: There's a song that's fun to scream/sing along with, but not to take seriously.

...Dip****, then you bought one!!!

Elite X7, theres a good chance that i will be stealing your avatar.

[QUOTE=BlindWriting](-)Ions is the only Tool "filler" I've ever disliked. It takes too much time to get into Third Eye, so I generally skip that one. But I disagree with the statement that the first five minutes or so of Third Eye is boring. The whole song is great, and Maynard's vocal melody, especially for the "I've missed you so much" part is spectacular.[/QUOTE]
Ions to me and alot of other people I've come across is a collection of sounds you hear when youre experiencing the etheric body and or astral projection and or similar meditational practices. :thumb:

[QUOTE=conciousuniverse]mudvayne, thanks for your comments on the post.

I gotta take a break from Tool tonight and surrender to the keys and siren of Tori Amos.

Hmm, what are the chances of the new Tool album being a double disc?[/QUOTE]
You could always listen to Muhammed my Friend with her and Maynard at the piano.

Haha i know what you mean man, bloody poser goths who think they are cool cos they have heard wait and bleed. Love your avatar:thumb:

<<Fag: "Man, I'm into them because they're so freaking hardcore and heavy maaan." >>

LOL that's funny, but to me they are heavy, I mean for my taste anyway.. Tool is about the heaviest I can go. I wish I could go heavier because I love the energy of the concerts, I love the moshing and all (don't I sound like the 14 year old poser now), heh, I am going to see Soulfly in a few days but I can't stand the screaming . Anyone recommend any heavy bands that actually "sing"?

iron maiden i suppose could be classified as heavy, they actually sing
