That's not a bad theory. I haven't delved too much into Tool's meanings, but instead have let them shed their own light on the things that go on in the world, etc.

[QUOTE=Flinflon]I'm going to try and disect the song Stinkfist. Hopefully in my perusal of previous posts I'm correct in that I haven't seen a full attempt at explaining this.
[/QUOTE]

Stinkfist was one of the few songs that i was able to immediately get a personal interpretation of. Not as specific as you, but just of desensitization in general, of the media, and our personal lives, there even seems to be drug references here, but in general desensitizing of ourselves.

Yes, I used Stinkfist as an example in an analytical piece I did in English. Rather than relate it to it's obvious meaning, I related it to densensitisation and disgust in general.

Got to love the 46+2 drum solo on dannycarey.org , and the others to be honest. Shame there Isn't more around. The only decent quality vid I have found of his drumming is the drummerworld.com one.

That is an awesome video (from drummerworld.com), but I was kind of disappointed that they picked the simplest section of that to make it out of. The hidden gong mallet thing was a nice touch though.

i love tool man... i've only been listening to them for a year but i am so obsessed...Anyway, i've got some questions:

1) in "the grudge", there's a line that goes "Let the waters kiss and transmutate these leaden grudges into gold". Transmutate isn't a word, is it? Shouldn't it be transmute?
2) Why is there like 2 min. of nothing at the end of Triad?
3) What's the point of Disgustipated?
4) WHEN THE HELL IS TOOL COMING OUT W/ ANOTHER CD??!!!

i hope somone can answer these before i lose my mind...

btw, whoever "Danny_carey_is_god" is, where'd you get that cool avatar?

1) Transmutate is basically the same as mutate, in the context of the line it means make lead into gold.
2) Because the band wanted it that way
3) The band is the only people that know, and maybe the webmaster at toolband.
4) We do not know at the present time, we have strong rumours that it's june/july...but it's all guesswork really.

There is a link a few pages back for avatars. Please don't steal his though.

i am new to this website so sorry if this question was answered and discussed a million times, but what's up with this new tool album? and please tell me they are going to go on tour. and what about APC, are they still going to make albums?

Welcome to the boards...Well, the new Tool album...who knows..i keep hearing many different things about it: june/july, Late fall, Early 2006...I really don't know...APC as of right now is on a hiatus. Every member in that band has different projects going on so there is no album expected anytime soon. However, i had read somewhere that there would infact be another album sometime in the far future

so you dont know anything about a tool tour?

Nope..no Tool tour as of now

I just found out that Paz is in some group called Papa M.Just letting you guys know..

Hey guys :wave:

I haven't been around for a while, did anything worth reading happen in my absence or are we all just still waiting for a release date? I need to catch myself back up on the Tool news.

nope nothing happened.

dammit :upset:

Me. :lol:

I checked out some Meshuggah...

Oh dear GOD!!! Probably the most repetitive metal band ever... they're awesome, but every song sounds exactly the same! Please Tool, DON'T DO THIS!!!

Other then my excitement of the new album lowering, I got a new copy of Salival with all of the tracks in full working order. Haven't listened yet though (too much new cds!).

Where'd you find it? eBay?

yea i saw them when they toured with Tool. There were some cool riffs, but it got real monotonous after about 10 minutes of one riff. No dynamics at all :confused:

I also got a chance to check them out when they were on the road with Tool...It was all right...Nothing to get all excited about...I don't know, maybe I was just so anxious for Tool to come out that I didn't really pay much attention to them...They did, however, get the crowd going. It got pretty wild so i had to actually get pulled out from the very front. It was getting harder and harder to breathe...It was all right though.

I got a burnt copy of Salival (I'm 15, I don't have the money to buy it!).

Meshuggah have kind of grown on me. "I" is a hardcore song/album. What is with Danny saying they're so technical? The drumming is pretty basic double bassing.

Are you a drummer? If so, then ignoe me. But with Meshuggah, its all about maintaining some insane polyrythyms. It takes a lot of stamina to keep u drumming like that, and its one trait that Danny admits is his weakness, that he lacks stamina with double bassing. Thats why he admires (insert drummer name here)

[QUOTE=kombucha mushroom mofo]Me. :lol:[/QUOTE]
Haha. For some reason i thought you were banned, so i stole it!
/Removes sexcee avatar :(
If you hadn't posted i was gonna say I stole it from a banned user, im not a bad person!

Well, double bass is cool but i wouldn't go with Tool if he over-used it. I think he uses it tastefully, anyway.
