A bit back i read that someone commented on Maynard's hair, and how they thought he had a receding hair line in '94 and long hair at the back... it's actually a mowhawk on top and long hair at the back.

EDIT: Woah I just found out that this video (Tool live in london '94) has No Quarter live :D

[QUOTE=Darkness Of Greed]This is well off topic but I found an interesting little tidbit while listening to "blue" off of 13 step.

He mentions in Anima a bunch of times to learn to swim right? Well in blue he mentions that he never quite learned how to swim. The mans a hipocrit...lol I just thought that was kinda funny...I'll shut up now..[/QUOTE]

The bit about swimming is that he doesnt really care for anyone but himself

^ That doesn't make sense. He says "best to keep things in the shollow end, cuz i never quite learned how to swim" how does that imply that he doesn't care about anyone else?

like he didnt really have time or care for what others think so he doesnt quite know how to swim or you could take it as he wasnt a social person or to high

[QUOTE=BlindWriting]I've never heard the radio cuts of either of those... but I'd imagine them to be fairly butchered.[/QUOTE]


this was a ways back but it reminded me of something. i heard the radio cut of lateralus, and i wanted to cry. they started the song in the first chorus. they skipped 3/4 of the verse each time, skipped half the notes in all solos. how could you do such a thing to a masterpiece? that should be 1st degree murder.

They should be arrested for stuff like that...

Or shot or hung... or both...

Yes...*

Well, I personally think the radio edits suck too, but the only half decent stuff on the radio here is a lot of pop-rock and nu metal, so I rarely listen to it anyway.

[SIZE=1]*No, don't be silly.[/SIZE]

That edit of Lateralus really is disgusting. I'm glad I've never heard it.

But still, I don't understand why people bitch about radio. The radio doesn't play the type of music a lot of people on these forums like, so why would you even listen to it? That's why I bring a CD or CDs everywhere I go, because I generally don't like what's played on the radio. It's like saying, "This band doesn't play the type of music I like, but I'm going to keep listening to them anyway to see if maybe they'll start playing the music I like."

True....the only radio I listen to is my local classic rock station (love it, BTW), and I rarely listen to that. I always have my MP3 player with me, I'm actually listening to Ticks and Leeches now. I have more Tool on here that anything.

I have more PF on my mp3 player, mostly because I havn't got around to transferring all my Tool cd's onto the comp/mp3 player.

I have 2 PF songs....and 5 Tool (my MP3 player originally holds 25 songs, but I'm getting a memory stick so I can put more on it)

Oh :\

I have Aenima and Lateralus on my mp3 player... and The Wall, DSOTM, Wish you were here, Animals, and Meddle on it. That's just PF and Tool though...

Thats cool...I'm constantly getting rid of songs I don't listen to often to accomodate better songs.......that'll change soon!

I stick to the old cd player

the station I listen to in south Florida plays Tool, sometimes butchering the hell out of it. They had a version of schism that was unlistenable. But sometimes one of the dj's must have been a Tool fan cuz you'd hear 46and2 uncut. The station in Orlando plays Tool a helluva lot, H and other Tool songs not on the radio normally. Im forced to listen to the radio where I work, at least i get a little highlight in the day when they do play Tool. The radio edits make me want to crash my car head on into a telephone pole though.

[QUOTE=Remedy]I stick to the old cd player[/QUOTE]
Same.

But why edit the songs?, I can see editing Aenema for the swear words. But why 46n2? Length?

Yeah, the radio stations in Boston always butcher the songs. They cut a few minutes off Lateralus.

In other news, the DJ also said that he believed that the Tool CD would be coming out at around the end of the year, at like Christmas time. WTF? I've heard from so many other places that it would be June! Ah.

[QUOTE=Remedy]I stick to the old cd player[/QUOTE]

heh...good man.

As for the release date, I always thought June was pretty wishful thinking. It's all up in the air, still, though.

I have all 5 tool albums on my mp3 :)

Woah sh!t i just got white pony by the deftones, it's quality. Around the fur next? (I know you tool fans like the deftones, and i'm bored by this mp3 bragging)

Mp3 players? Pfft! I love my discman, it loves me back! (when the buttons decide to work...)

Wait...

Here it comes...

(I'm listening to jimmy...)

Ruuuuuuuuurah,HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!!!

Anyway;

If the new record came out around Christmas, I would murder someone. It has to come out before then. They've got most of the songs down pat anyway.

YAY i've got a live video from the Lateralus tour, the Æni(e?)ma tour and the undertow tour :D love p2p :)

I love my zen, 20 gigabyte of music goodyness!
I have let me think, 4 tool albums on there

[QUOTE=clearvision]I have all 5 tool albums on my mp3 :)

Woah sh!t i just got white pony by the deftones, it's quality. Around the fur next? (I know you tool fans like the deftones, and i'm bored by this mp3 bragging)[/QUOTE]

Just get any of them besides the self-titled.

Yea my local radio edits tool too. They usually do pretty well though. THey'll cut out maybe the last solo on enima, the solo on H(wtf?), and take some out of 46&2. I have heard them play Eulogy and the others pretty much all the way through during late night hours. Lets remember that the radio friendly songs are usually no more than 4:30 seconds. Usually...

I was just thinking...you know how Salival was released before Lateralus......well, maybe the 'Schism' DVD will be released before the new album...just a though, though I hope its not necessarily the case.

Yes, get Around the Fur next. I'm glad you like White Pony, it is a great album.

I don't know why Otherside says not to get S/T, but I do reccommend getting it, but probably after you've settled into the band's sound. Go with ATF now, then either Adrenaline or S/T, although in my opinion S/T is one of their best.

The S/T? Even the band said they hated that album. Carpenter even admitted that he basically just came up with one riff and used it over and over on the album. They also said they're gonna be workinga lot harder on the next album.

I don't recall them saying they hated it. Proof? It's true, that album did lack riff quantity, but IMO not quality. Besides, there are some really amazing songs on there. A lot of the songs are more focused on the interaction between guitar and keyboard (Hexagram, Good Morning Beautiful, When Girls Telephon Boys, Bloody Cape) and then there are some great guitar/bass songs like Death Blow, Needles and Pins, and Moana.

while we are on the topic of deftones i dloaded a song a while ago, under the tag minerva. But it obviously wasn't that...this song had real crappy production and chino said 'pressure, pain' alot...any ideas to what it may be...it was good.

Proof? A magazine article I read.

The S/T is a very good album, I seem to enjoy it more than Around the Fur and White Poney. Around the fur and White Poney are great cds, But Deftones seemed to have a more mature sound on the S/T IMO.

I have a feeling you took some creative liberties with the quote though.

alright ive been liking tool for over a year, but only heard lateralus and some of aenima and want to get into undertow. So can somebody recommend me some good songs from undertow or opiate?

thanx

sober, flood, swamp song, prison sex, disgustipated...just get it all man :thumb:

The intro to Swamp Song is great

I like Undertow a lot more than I give credit for. I'm always a little reluctant to listen to it, but then when I put it on, I really love it.

Just buy Undertow, and then Opiate. I actually prefer Opiate over Undertow, and I know I'm pretty much alone on this.

Aenema IMO

[QUOTE=BlindWriting]Just buy Undertow, and then Opiate. I actually prefer Opiate over Undertow, and I know I'm pretty much alone on this.[/QUOTE]

Prison Sex and Sober beat anything on Opiate, otherwise, I sort of agree with you. They're kind of equal in other respects in my mind, obviously Opiate is shorter though...

From Opiate; Opiate, Hush.

From Undertow; Prison sex, Sober.

The singles are the most accessable. All the songs are decent though, really. Oh, get all of Ænima first though, just go buy the album, it's well worth it.
