[QUOTE=Otherside]Maybe a stupid question but:

What is Maynard whispering the in the background of Ticks and Leeches?[/QUOTE]

I believe I've asked that before and got told it's sometimes best not to know what Maynard is saying :p

[QUOTE=Otherside]The bigger opeth fans would probably recommend Blackwater Park, but I think me and Gmac would say to get Morningrise.[/QUOTE]

BWP is what the most of the Opeth fans recommend for starters. However, I got Deliverance first (which was ok, I hadn't heard anything from it previously) and the I picked up Still Life. This is my fav of the 3 albums I own but I guess it's really up to the buyer. Morningrise, SL or BWP would all probably be good choices.

[QUOTE=In Chains 36]Yeah, I've had a recent obsession with Ticks & Leeches. Unbelievable drumming throughout.[/QUOTE]
Adam's shredding in those last ten seconds is incredible.

If you wanna hear Adam shredding, listen to the backing solo during the first solo(lame*) during Third Eye. Pretty tech stuff.

*lame for Jones, that is.

What do you mean lame for Jones?

Compared to Jones' other stuff, I don't think the first solo(The louder part that sounds like there is a pillow over his amp) is really that great. :-/ That's what I meant.

Ah, as you've said many a time :p.

I know. :p


Would anyone else like to mention other times where Adam shreds? I haven't noticed too many. He's definitely a rythm guy. A good one at that, I must say.

A prefer his style to shredding. That thing in Third Eye is really cool, because it's a subtle thing.

Eon Blue Apocalyspe? :lol:
I dont know any songs where he shreds.

[QUOTE=Remedy]Eon Blue Apocalyspe? :lol:

:confused: What?

Ok, never mind. Bad question. :lol:

Does anybody happen to have the mp3 of Tool performing Comfortably Numb? I think they did a Pink Floyd cover song..It may not be CN, but I'm pretty sure it is. If anyone has it, could you be so nice as to host it on YSI?

Doesn't he have a little bit of a shred on Cold and Ugly? i could be wrong.

That reminds me... THROW THAT BOB MARLEY WANNABE MOTHER****ER OUTA HERE!

[QUOTE]The masons are a group of people who are members of a huge global organisation whose purpose is nominally to take good, upstanding citizens, and for them to work together in order to achieve common goals, including, broadly speaking, the betterment of society. The members are taken from all major groups within society, although members have to believe in a Supreme being. Understandably rumours have surrounded the group literally for centuries, about them exerting secret control over the world's financial and political systems, meaning that there's an underground interest in them, particularly as there's a lot of masonic symbolism, including the pyramid and all seeing eye on the US dollar bill.[/QUOTE]

It's not mason symbolism it is Illuminati symbolism. When the Illuminati were persecuted and run out of Rome by the Catholics they gained sanctuary in the ranks of the Masons. That was then there way of surviving, by using the Masons as a front to support their own designs. The pyramid with the eye is a symbol for being enlightened, or 'illuminated'.

If you want to know about this kind of stuff, read Dan Brown's Angels and Demons, great book.

You obviously didn't read it very well because the band did not write it.

It's the first thing written in the FAQ.

And yes I am quite aware that it's all the way back on the first page but I thought it needed mentioning.

And no, I'm not dissing the FAQ, I think it's a great piece of writing but it is just another persons opinion, not tool's.

:eek: Wow...whats that, some kind of 300 page argument bump? refl

IC36 and Madey-I am assuming that is something by Bill Hicks?

Consider the slack cut. Just setting the facts straight :D

I like on Jerk Off when hes like "you see alot of @ssholes that live in this part of the building here, we systematically removed them like you would any kind of termite or roach"

[QUOTE=Darkness Of Greed]I like on Jerk Off when hes like "you see alot of @ssholes that live in this part of the building here, we systematically removed them like you would any kind of termite or roach"[/QUOTE]

Yeah that part is cool.

Hey speaking of tool...does anyone know what Adam runs over his pickups? Like remotes and stuff to get all that weird noise? I use an x box dvd playback remote and a stereo remote, it sounds so cool!

[QUOTE=Med57]So, I my copy of [I]Aenima[/I] finally turned up in the post today. I've been through the whole thing 3 times now, and while I don't think it's as good as [I]Lateralus[/I], half of the songs on it really are absolutely incredible...Stinkfist, Eulogy, 46 & 2, Aenema, Pu**** and Hooker With A P[B][I]e[/I][/B]nis are all great, and most of the other non-filler tracks are all good as well. Being a massive Bill Hicks fan, I hadn't realised his act was actually sampled during Third Eye as well.

*good times*

Just thought I should share this with this thread, seeing as how a group of you effectively persuaded me to buy it. :p[/QUOTE]

:thumb:

Add H. to the list of amazing songs and you've got it.

I never was a huge fan of Jimmy, I personally think it's the weakest song on the album. The only weak (by Tool standards) real song, actually. Hooker with a pen[i]i[/i]s the 2nd weakest, lyrics are great, nice and heavy, but I have to be in the mood for it.

What do you guys think of the Dissectional on [url]http://toolband.com/[/url]? Me and my friend spent an hour on there just exploreing and finding new things... Its pretty crazy.

Yeah, dissectional is pretty awesome, Maynards Dick is pretty sweet game...but I cant get past level one...

I don't think I played that...

Any news on the new Tool album?

[QUOTE=Sliptallica]Any news on the new Tool album?[/QUOTE]

I hear it'll be good.

Edit: In other news I just learned the intro to Ticks & Leeches on drums. :cool:

Yup, and a lot of us here believe Third Eye is their best song on that album. Loved Lateralus too, I thought that at points it was a little too instrumental; sort of a waste when you have a guy of MJK's magnitude.

I thought that Ticks and Leeches was the best track on that album, followed by Lateralus, Parabola, and The Grudge.

Except for me of course, I maintain the fact that push!t is their second best piece of music to date, only second to no quarter which is simply amazing. (even if it is a cover)

[QUOTE=Otherside]The bigger opeth fans would probably recommend Blackwater Park, but I think me and Gmac would say to get Morningrise.

And if you do get a TMV album, clear-vision was right in saying get deloused in the comatarium before getting Frances the mute.[/QUOTE]

i'd say morningrise is the best album, but bwp is a good album to get first

[QUOTE=clearvision]Except for me of course, I maintain the fact that push!t is their second best piece of music to date, only second to no quarter which is simply amazing. (even if it is a cover)[/QUOTE]

Pu**** is number one for me. number 2 would probably be The Grudge. No Quarter is up there too.

Push.it is great, But Third Eye has amazing work.
