haha very true

[QUOTE=Adam Jones is GOD]

But although i've seen live videos (thanks to whoever posted the video site link btw :thumb: ) I would like to know, what kind of crowd is a Tool concert like? heavy meal moshers or appreciation crowds like APC ones?[/QUOTE]


When I attended the concert the crowd was not really what I expected. Too many people were moshing like crazy during "Parabola" and others. There was alot of crowd surfing too. I really thought the crowd would be alot more calm and just really enjoy this concert. I think the only time they calmed down was during "Parabol" and it was probably the only time Maynard faced the audience also. I suppose it was expected from this crowd though. It was the first time a rock band had ever been to this border town in Texas. Alot of people didn't even know who Tool was until then. BUT there were those who actually did know who they were and connected in some way with the band. There was this one guy, I remember, who through the entire set had his hands out as if receiving some kind of power from the band. It was nice. :thumb:

hey guys, this stuff has sparked somethin in me to start listenin to more tool. Any suggestions on songs to download?

They are Tools equivilaent of a filler track, but each of them tends to have some hidden meaning, or relevance. And the correct translation is 'Voice of God'

He had to be high.

I once saw somebody pop some pills and sit cross-legged on a stage for eight hours straight at a club. Pretty trippy.

Speak for yourself

*pulls at pretend medallion in ghetto fasion*

Tool's equivalent of filler tracks kick as.s

I was just wondering, how old are most of you guys? I'm 14, and I only know a few Tool fans my age. Most Tool fans I've met in person or online, are older.

[QUOTE=deadohiosky9]Tool's equivalent of filler tracks kick as.s[/QUOTE]

No, they really don't. They are weird for the sake of weird.

Die Eier Von Satan is not bad, and neither is the first Message to Harry Manback.

But the rest of them are garbage.

I'm 19

I'm 15 :) But it seems to me tool appeals to all ages

EDIT : IM actually 16, my birthday was last month :confused: :lol:

Thats true. Tool does appeal to all ages.

18 here. Tool seems to mean different things for different age groups, but usually everyone will attempt to discover the deeper meanings at some point. I first heard them at 16 and just liked the 'freaky' videos. But now i've expanded by reading into their messages, discovering their influences and learning and dissecting the music. It has helped me grow spiritually, and has improved my personality. Anyone else found their lifestyle changed when really digging deeper into their music?

I was very influenced by Tool. I got into them last year. And they really help me sort some things out. Helped me grow spiritually like you siad. Taught me to really think about things for myself. To look at lyrics more closely and carefully, and take something from it. I have learned a good bit from Tool. Thanks Tool.

Yeah, same here. I first heard of them when I was 14 and I just liked their unique sound cause I had never heard of any other band like them. Then I saw their videos and loved them cause they were weird. But now, I understand them so much more and I love the fact that their songs can be interpreted in many different ways...and yeah, it deffinitly has helped me grow spiritually as well.

16. My favorite filler is Cesaro Summability. The baby scream is so entirely awesome, it makes me cream my jeans.

I cant listen to that track in public without feeling uneasy about people around me. People begin to think things....... :(

I don't listen to any of those ridiculous filler tunes. They are a complete waste of time, I want to hear a song not some German prat waffle on about eggs & flour. Thank god System don't put that crap on their cd's. Pearl Jam also puts stuff like that on their albums. Waste of disc space.

[QUOTE=Adam Jones is GOD]I cant listen to that track in public without feeling uneasy about people around me. People begin to think things....... :([/QUOTE]

LOL. I think we have all been influenced by Tool in some way or another. Most Tool fans look into the music, and really try to interpret it. I was really drawn to Tool because of their very unique sound, and their lyrics were amazing. I read some interviews after getting into them, and I was just like whoa. These guys f.ucking rock! A lot of their opinions made sense to me. Learned a lot from Tool. I usually skip over filler tracks.

Man i never skip over any of the filler tracks. . .they rule. Yea Tool has done alot for me as well. Danny Carey is a great influence on me. Cant wait for the new cd and another tour :) .


P.S. Im starting a Danny Carey thread in drums if anyones interested.

Or not its been done to many times.

i think tool is the most important still together today

16 here. TooL has inspired me to start to write music and create a band once again (ive had like 6 ****ty bands since i was 14). Its cool how tool inspired me cuz thats one of the things maynard says he wants his music to do.

Yeah, im glad tool is still together. When i first started listening to them, i hoped they still were together but i knew i was listening to music that was 8 years old (aenima) or more (opiate). I didnt know anything about them. I am so glad that i'll at least see them in concert the next time around. I hope they come to my venues like 80 times...

Adam Jones has definetly been a big influence for me on guitar. TOol has also inspired me to start a band.

Lots of people say that all the songs on Aenima sound the same but that is not true, its my favorite tool album and none of them sound the same. I stand in awe of Danny Carey
