i've never seen prision sex or hush on mtv, but i did see shcism many times back when it was big and i've seen parabol/parabola like once . . .

[QUOTE=Adam Jones is GOD]They used to be played frequently in the Uk, but rarely on MTV, it was MTV2's area. Kerrang never touched them, and Scuzz never plays them, so its a case of watching the DVD for me.

Can anyone tell me the name of the director who made the Sober video with Adam? I know there was another director invovled, but his name totally escapes me. Anyone know?[/QUOTE]

The other director's name is Fred Stuhr.

*ding ding ding* The name rings a bell, thanks, thats the guy. It can stop bugging me now

Haha ya. I heard Opiate on the radio today. Which is like very very rare. THey never play Tool on the radio, esp. in Alabama.

hey does anyone know a site where I can watch the Tool videos?

They have Tool videos at Toolshed I believe. [URL=http://toolshed.down.net]Toolshed[/URL]

[QUOTE=Paranoidd]Has anyone played Doom 3? Anybody notice the title track sounds ALOT like a certain Tool song?[/QUOTE]

The band is Tweaker. It's the guy who was the live guitarist for NiN for a while.

[QUOTE=Fast Fingers]Guess what I saw.

The Parabola video on MTV :eek:

It was on an episode with the 20 best metal videos of the new millenium. The didn't show the Parabol part but that's ok. What's even better is that it was like 7 or 8 on the list, pretty high considering the proggishness on MTV.[/QUOTE]

stinkfist is on mtv2's "Video's from hell" sometimes. I think thats one of their best videos, but they are all good. I saw it twice in the same day (which made me happy). True story-- the next day I bought Aenima.

The Parabol video rocks...I heard that song the first time and I just sat back and went "Wow"

But I remember when I was really little seeing the Sober video...I remember saying "WTF?"

:)

And Fuses Uranium uses 2 clips from Schism (at the same time which is wierd) for their ad

great site toolshed lots of interesting info and stuff.

I didn't get it from Toolshed...... But yeah, it is awesome. Especially the videos.

[QUOTE=twiggster]Ok, I'm surprised I haven't seen this mentioned on here 'cause usually I see it on many other Tool boards...Anyway, have any of you heard about the whole Fibonacci sequence being related to the entire album "Laterlaus"? You know, I'm not too sure if this is exactly true or not but I just thought I'd post it...

[I]The drum beat for track #9: Lateralus on the album follows the Fibonacci sequence. The Fibonacci sequence, to summarize, is a mathematical pattern where you add the last two digits of the pattern to get the next (ex.- 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, etc.). When this pattern is graphed out, it forms a spiral, which is what Lateralus means. Though he looked beyond this and realized that if he were to lay the songs on the graph in accordance with the Fibonacci sequence (this idea is explained further in the link) then he could perhaps come up with an alternate track order. His process began with placing track numbers 6 and 7 in the center of the graph seeing as he knew they had to run together. Then through a process of creating two spirals, he finally found an alternate order to the album that, if they were edited correctly, would make all the tracks run together almost as one song. Suddenly tracks were making much more sense. He discovered that if this new order were to be true, then track #4: Mantra, would go after track #8:Ticks and Leeches. The last line of Ticks and Leeches is "I hope you choke", and the sounds of Mantra, previously believed to be whale noises, could in fact be viewed as a distorted choking noises. Random pluckings of strings at the beginning of track #5: Schism were now revealed to be the finishing chords for track #7: Parabola. Clues to this alternate order are given in lyrics throughout the album, such as "Spiral outm keep going" or "I know the pieces fit".


So for all who are interested, though this may not work correctly without the correct editing software according to the poster that discovered this, the alternate track order is as follows: 6,7,5,8,4,9,13,1,12,2,11,3,10.. [/I]


:rolleyes: Again, I'm not too sure about all this stuff but I just thought it was interesting. I got this paragraph from some other Tool board.[/QUOTE]


you wouldn't happen to have a link to that board would you? i mixed the album like that last night, and it worked amazingly well. plus, i'd like to know how that person came up with that song order. from first glance, it seems to contradict the fibbonaci sequence. things like that just kind of interest me. not math, but the whole alternate track listing. no offense to math or people who love it.

I love tool video clips, the claymation and complete mind f*** does it for me. Like most video clips you see these days are quite abstract, but tool are esp so, they are the ones which make you go WOAH, and really get you thinking.

if u play guitar bass or drums ... tooltabs.net

as far as i am concerned these tabs are RIGHT
the guys that run the site are nutbars about getting them 100% perfect

Also Cog tabs :)
(awesome aussie band)

^^^^^^^^ cheers for that album order, i've heard about it and been looking for it for a while.

I think the idea is ingeneous

here's a new topic for you, i think.

the album Lateralus, can be broken up into elements on the periodic charts. i was surfing around and found this;

La-Te-ra-lu-s

la = lanthanum
te = tellurium
ra = radium
lu = lutetium
s = sulfur

your thoughts?

Maynard is a closet chemist?

They are correct as in the way that Adam plays them live, but there are better tabs to make it easier to play. still, its a great resource.

As for the periodic theory, I remebr reading that from somewhere, can you tell me where yo heard it? because it intruiges me at the time, but I never read in depth (though I think its just coincidence)

What do you get if you mix those elements?

Jello.

Are you serious?

Because it's Tool, I can't be certain.

:lol:

i've been watching a thread on toolshed.down.net and there has been some very interesting discussion on the subject.

[url]http://toolshed.down.net/opinion/forum/showthread.php?t=2417&page=1&pp=40[/url]

That thread had finally convinced me to sign up for that forum, as it seems to have a lot of good thinking people on there, that topic alone was very intelligent.

Although im still in the belif that this one may have just beena big coincidence

it may have been a coincidince, seeing as how tool likes to mess with their fans, but you never know. these guys are deep, and its still a good way to use your head and think.

Chris Vrenna is Tweaker,he was NIN's drummer.

I put a few minutes aside to watch APC's new video and hear the song for the first time, and its what i was expecting, which is a bad thing. has anyone else seen it yet? I feel it needs to be discussed, as its one of the first times that Maynard has been imvolved in something that is totaly non subliminal in its message and focused on the issue rather than the music, which is a big let down for me. But Im sure MJK would be the first to say that what he is does not change just because of what we want him to be and stay as.

Gah! That Tool conversation is nuts. Has anyone thought that maybe Ions from Aenima is a segway into Lateralus?

I have not, where can I find it? It's for the song Blue, correct?

[QUOTE=Fast Fingers]I have not, where can I find it? It's for the song Blue, correct?[/QUOTE]

No, im talking about the political album one, the remix of Pet. Its on their offical site now, there's about 100 links for it it seems.

the Blue one may be interesting, as its a fan made one, but imnot sure when thats out.
