Cool, good to know you're in hehe. Won't the quality be better going straight in, instead of through a mic? or would you go line in off your amp?

Guitars sound confusing.

[QUOTE=clearvision]^ Better get posting :p[/QUOTE]

dont worry. i will

I'm trying to get my band to play Crawl Away and Undertow, but our drummer sucks. You think its good to do those songs and not have a drummer that does the same as Danny Carey?

I'm kinda perplexed. I love Tool more than anything and we can't do any Tool songs because our drummer sucks...I'm not sure what to do...suggestions?

wow, this moves fast.
playing all the instrumental parts ok, is a chalenge, but to find anyone with a voice like MJK,, that ain't gonna happen methinks

Let him add his own style to it. Make the cover your own.

Those songs aren't even that hard, as far as Danny's drumming goes.

Try getting him to do Aenima, or Third Eye, or The Grudge. :lol:

The Grudge Solo is a work of art.

Best 31 seconds of music IMO.

Iapologise if you've already covered this topic but I don't have time to read through the last 20 pages of this thread as I'm late for work.
Has everyone heard the alice in chains bootlegs with maynard singing?? They're on toolshed
What did everyone think of em? I thought they were ****in ace but then again tool and aic are my 2 fave bands....

i heard them, they were great, he did the best on Man in the Box i thought. some of the other singers on Rooster werent so good IMO, but MJK was great

New rule: All newbs who come in here [U]MUST[/U] read all 200+ pages before posting. :thumb:

I heard them, it was cool but I'm not a very big AIC fan, so it was average for me. Someone put up the videos a few pages back, not sure if the links will still be available though.

I've been away for a while from these forums, got a new computer and junk, but I just want to say:

ROFL@Maynard.

You'd think a lot of fans would realise that Tool f[i]u[/i]cks with us, especially when a new album's about to be released. Anyone think that it's possible the album will actually be released EARLY to suprise fans even more?

^Erm, no? :lol: It's not gnna just be sprung on us, Kabir/Blair will no and tell us a release date about a month or two in advance..

NP : Peach - Giving birth to a stone :)

Because they're so reliable, arn't they. Haha.

I'm not doubting you're probably right, but an early release along with this prank would be cool.

Well Blair is a good friend of the band. And Kabir is a dedicated fan, whom maynard is in contact with.

This I know.

Off topic, does anyone know any secret areas on the Tool website? You know? Like the [url]http://www.toolband.com/secrets/renne/main.html[/url] thing? I found that ages ago randomly, and it made me wonder if there was anything else hidden on the Tool website. Sorry if it's already been covered.

whens the new tool cd come out.. i heard like the end of this year but **** i dont know

oh and about the drums thing ide suggest playing some of tools older stuff cuz it was alot more basic yet still very hard. but there newer stuff is like drum solos left and right.if he gets good enough he should be able to play undertow eventually

[QUOTE=Sliptallica]Let him add his own style to it. Make the cover your own.[/QUOTE]



i would definitely in my opinion go against what you said there. it pisses me off cuz the most popular band in our town is a cover band and doesnt play half the stuff rite .. and its basic stuff like green day blink 182 etc. so i mean if tehres a fill you cant figure its one thing but just completely making up the whole song, i shake my head at that one.

Doesn't a solo mean the whole music focusing on the drummer? I don't think that happens much. We have no news on the album, we were talking about it on this page, please atleast read the last page when posting!

[QUOTE=Adam Jones is GOD]And we all know that High postcount = Better playing ability :p[/QUOTE]

Wow... I really suck at guitar...

Edit: oh and I thought you guys would enjoy this picture of our hero, The 'Nard.

^^^^
dare i ask who the lady next to him is?

Yes, her name is Amber Bell and I have no idea who she is.

[QUOTE=+zero+]whens the new tool cd come out.. i heard like the end of this year but **** i dont know[/QUOTE]

at the pace their going now for making albums their probably make only 3 more and then they will retire or something

Unfortunately i was gone for the majority of the great wave of bootleg generosity that engulfed this thread. Does anyone have the heart to upload one of the concerts again? Or MSN it to me. Please...

[QUOTE=Shadius]Anyone think that it's possible the album will actually be released EARLY to suprise fans even more?[/QUOTE]

Interesting that you mention that, becaues I've thought abou it but realized it's unlikely, mainly because their record company would not allow it. They'll want the maximum time for promotion and building anticipation as possible.

some people were talking about the synth and such

and i know its Adam, he plays Relfection with his foot live

and Jonny Greenwood plays Planet Telex live with the head of his guitar on the keys of the keyboard, its awesome to see

ok later

All right. I gotta say.
I know I've bashed people for being concerned about the whole Maynard/Jesus thing, so I feel like a complete hypocrite when I say that I'm starting to feel a bit nervous about the whole thing.

Eh, I'm not worried at all. If it is true, then I think Maynard may be the biggest ignorant prick in the world.

But it's not. Tool is known for joking around with their fans. I just wish they would have come up with something better for this April Fool's.

Since when has Tool done what their record company wants?

^^Well, i don't think they have much choice sometimes.

JoZ said somewhere back that it'd be hardcore to have a fulltime keyboard/synth player for Tool. I was thinking that just yesterday! Imagine Reflection, Lateralus and The Patient with keyboard... ooooh. And Third Eye too.

But since the next album is more brutal, semi-death metal, I guess keyboard's won't work.

I wouldn't go as far as calling it even semi-death metal. I wouldn't like that at all.

Those tracks definetly could benefit from a keyboard.

Not that the songs are bad or lacking as they are, but the extra synth would only make it better...

[quote]But since the next album is more brutal, semi-death metal, I guess keyboard's won't work.[/QUOTE]

Heavier? Oh yes.

Death metal? Never.

When I think of Tool making their music a little more heavier, I think Ticks and Leeches style.

[QUOTE=Sliptallica]When I think of Tool making their music a little more heavier, I think Ticks and Leeches style.[/QUOTE]

Agreed.

Or end of The Grudge heavier.

It will be very interesting to see what "heavier" means for Tool.

I think it will mean more crushing walls of sound, and bigger sonic landscapes rather than chugging riffage.

i think the new album will be like probably how Aenema was, but in a ticks and leeches style. Since that song wan't about the lateralus type stuff.
srry but i have to say that if maynard found jesus then well, i guess the world would end. also i think that their version of heavier could be more dynamical, and chilled out, and longer songs.
And with the salival cd i like third eye live a little bit but, i think they could've done the end like the album version instead of maynard only sayin " prying open my third eye" 4 times. and pu**** i like it, because the intro and how they go from the modified version to the original.

[QUOTE=misunderstood]^^Well, i don't think they have much choice sometimes.[/QUOTE]

At one point didn't they stop recording one of their album and refused to play because their record company was f[I]u[/I]cking them around too much? At least I think I read that somewhere... could be bullsh[I]i[/I]t.

On the whole Maynard/Jesus issue...I don't care if he has found Jesus...What pisses me off, is that he "abandoned the project altogether"...
