"You can kill the revolutionary, but you cant kill the revolution"

I don't believe Electric sheep ever recorded anything...

Yeah, to my knowledge they never did, or there's not anything available to say the least. They were in that project as high schoolers, right? I doubt we could get our hands on any of that.

I'm also an RATM fan, but not near as much as Tool.

[QUOTE=In Chains 36]I listened to the CD, the guy actually has a good voice (e.g. Still Day Beneath the Sun) but in songs such as Blackwater Park, he just screams and it really ruins great instrumental songs.[/QUOTE]
The first Opeth songs I listened to were The Funeral Portrait and Blackwater Park. I've never been a fan of death metal vocals, but this was definitely the right band to get me accustomed to that sort of sound. It really threw me off, hearing that amazing progressive metal music paired with death-style vocals, but I was slowly but surely growing to apprecaite them. Once you get passed that, and really let it grow on you, you'll love Opeth. I think they are an amazing band, and I've noticed quite a few fellow Tool fans also taking interest in them.

I really didn't think so, but I figured it was worth asking. heh. Now, could somebody please gmail the song RATM did with Tool? Rep ++ if you do :naughty:

[QUOTE=pigonthewing82]I love RATM, also on the Tool topic nothing like Maynard singing on Know Your Enemy, just one of the many things that makes that song awsome :thumb: .[/QUOTE]
I thought the RATM song that Maynard sang on was called "Revolution".

I love the screaming, but like i said its not for everyone.

[QUOTE=BlindWriting]I thought the RATM song that Maynard sang on was called "Revolution".[/QUOTE]

The RATM song he was refferring to is actually on a RATM album, where he just does sort of a cameo one line appearance on the song. Revolution is a collaboration of RATM and Tool, minus Adam Jones, I beleive.

BlindWriting,

Fortunately, Keenan appears on both "Revolution" and "Know Your Enemy"

hah, sorry about that copycat post Kombucha 'shroom!
i should have reloaded the page...

::listening to revolution:: what a phenomenal collaboration!

Actually Electric sheep did record a cd, i once saw it at amoeba but i don't remember why i didn't buy it, havent seen it since (and its still killing me that i didn't buy it everytime i remember about it) but there is such a thing as an Electric Sheep record

I found their album on Amazon. There wasn't a single review for it or anything.

Ah, thanks for the clarification about the RATM stuff.

Yea I really missed Maynards voice on the RATM Live at the Ollympic Grand. Great album though. You know I hope no sh1tty band does a Tool cover, its so hard to replace his voice.

Haha.

the growls are some of the best in metal, trust me most death metal growls are alot more difficult to listen to

I got a video of maynard in that song.
"I got no patience now, so sick of complacence now, sick of, sick of, sick of, sick of, you....." Unfortunately, just after maynard bit, it cuts out for a few seconds into some wierd tv thing, then it goes back to the same gig, and plays bombtrack-without maynard :(

Eh well not to bring the mood down or change topic here but I feel kinda dumb reading all of these lyrical interpretations.. a lot of the things I'm reading I'm thinking, "Huh?" Right now I'd like to just concentrate on the music for myself anyway, not the lyrics because I'm usually wrong anyway.. thinking I'm smarter than I really am maybe, lol. Is it wrong to simply get into the music and ignore the words for awhile? lol

You could definitely be right. I'm just not a fan of death metal, likely BECAUSE of the screaming.

Again though, I don't want people to think that I'm completely down on the band though. Their instruments are the pretty close to the apex of music. Amazing music.

[QUOTE=In Chains 36]I just listened to Blackwater Park.

It's too bad, such great music was wasted with garbage vocals.[/QUOTE]

No one trashes Mikael's growls. They are perfectly done. People need to get over harsh vocals because often times, they fit the music perfectly. Learn to appreciate them, it will help you get into a whole new area of music that is excellent.

I don't like most growl singers, but Opeth is one band that the growls IMO suit the music very well, and I can listen to.

No, we don't need to get over them.

I don't like alot of bands because their vocals disgust me, which applies to alot of death and black metal bands. If it sounds like you're regurgitating rather than singing or screaming, it's not good, it's bad.

That being said, I do like alot more bands with harsher vocals than I used to, but that doesn't mean I like all of them.

Has anybody in here ever seen Tool live? I heard they own, please share the it wih us.

yea they do, from what i hear,, ive never seen them either

Couldn't have said it better myself. :thumb:

When they tour behind the new album, there's nothing that's stopping me from seeing them. Last time I got the chance, I missed it and I never forgave myself.
