[QUOTE=letmypeopleho]Maynard in APC isn't very dark at all. He's not really what makes Tool dark. If [B]Reznor[/B] was in Tool, now that would be some dark music.[/QUOTE]

To hell he's not! :p

Listen to Maynard on Lateralus...songs like The Grudge, The Patient, Schism, Lateralus and especially Reflection...very dark, etherial vocals.

[QUOTE=clearvision]Hmm do you really rate reznor as a vocalist? I think although his lines are often straight from his heart and you can really feel the emotion, i think that he sometimes lacks the sweetness* of some better vocalists, such as maynard and thom yorke..

*worst adjective ever. I can't put across what i mean. But reznor is sometimes harsh and off key which is great for his style but not for his rep as a vocalist.

I keep meaning to get a faith no more album, but keep getting sidetracked, which would you reccomend?[/QUOTE]


try the albums Angel Dust, King for a Day or The Real Thing. they are my FAVO band next to T00L of course :smoke: !!!

Im a huge FNM fan, and i don't know about reznor, but I think it would be interesting to see Patton up there with Tool.

As far as albums to recommend, if your just getting into FNM, I would say either The Real Thing, or King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime. The Real Thing is more metal, less polished, and a little darker IMO, but King for a day has almost more of a punk influence, (I hate punk so don't worry, they are way beyond everything else). My favorite album is probably King for A Day.

The Real Thing has that single "epic" which is the last favorite song of mine on the record, but that's how the album sounds, although writing wise everything they do is is different.

If you have the new version of Winamp (5), (which is free-winamp.com) you can open the winamp.com-videos section (in the classic rock section for some dumb reason) and check out all the videos. Digging the Grave is one of my favs and its on King for a day. The only videos for The real thing are Epic, and Falling to pieces, the 2 singles from that record, But dont let that fool you, the other songs on the album are waaaaaay better than those. The other vids are from the other albums, Angeldust and Album of the Year. Ignore Annes song and We care a lot with that gay singer they had before patton. :angry:

Thanks, I'll check out king for a day I think :)

I love Reznors singing so much, so much emotion in pretty much all of his songs.
Somewhat like Kurt Cobain emotion wise I think.

That's true because nothing says emotion like Nirvana songs :rolleyes:

Amazing. This board is just a haven for Nirvana-hating.

Dark...ethereal...that's the perfect description.

I would kill for a Maynard, Reznor, and Patton collaboration. Reznor commands some of the greatest talent for conveying emotion.

It would have to be at least a 21 minute long song to do all three men justice :cool:

Each gets 7 minutes to sing.

Yeah, imagine that... A nice vocal medley between the three best vocalists.
Hey, it would definitely work. I loved Passenger.

Shi[color=white]t[/color], why not just throw Chino in there too? :thumb:

Give them each an octave to cover, and try for some insane harmony

Yeah...just thinking about that is kicking ***.

[QUOTE=Adam Jones is GOD]Give them each an octave to cover, and try for some insane harmony[/QUOTE]

:lol:

[QUOTE=Adam Jones is GOD]Give them each an octave to cover, and try for some insane harmony[/QUOTE]

Chino = Lower octave
Maynard = Mid-to-high octave
Trent = Weird vocal effects with delay and stuff
Patton = I dunno

I think Chino would be more suited for a higher ocatve...he sings pretty high.

Patton could do the low, and Reznor/Maynard could take care of mid-ranged stuff

Whatever :p

I think we can all agree that such a collaboration would be super sexy

Best not be hoping to do it live then. He fails 9/10 to hit those notes

[QUOTE=The JoZ]Whatever :p

It could probably be an ego fest too.

Although im sure even Chino would feel giddy in such company

[QUOTE=Adam Jones is GOD]Best not be hoping to do it live then. He fails 9/10 to hit those notes[/QUOTE]

Eh, I don't know about that. He's gotten a lot better, I've noticed.

[QUOTE=The JoZ]Shi[color=white]t[/color], why not just throw Chino in there too? :thumb:[/QUOTE]

Hell yes. That song made me realize the potential of Chino. I thought he was just as good as Maynard. It was an extremely good duet.

True. Their voices work really well together.

/listens to Passenger

Chino would do background

Maynard would take the main hook.chorus

Reznor the verses

can't comment on patton as i haven't heard him...

[QUOTE=Kage]Eh, I don't know about that. He's gotten a lot better, I've noticed.[/QUOTE]

I guess the two times I saw him are a bad precedent to go by. One at a festival where he looked tanked up more than normal. The second at Wembely with the worst sound ever.

Hey, I think this may have been brought up before. But would you guys think that a trip-hop group would be a great opening for Tool? You know, something softer like Massive Attack or Portishead to lead up to some heavy prog rock in Tool. I'd love it.

Was the wembley gig when apc were supporting?

[QUOTE=clearvision]Was the wembley gig when apc were supporting?[/QUOTE]

Yeah. their sound was awesome, like it was straight from the record.

Then some idiot turns up everything waaay too much for the Deftones.

Oh, man they have off days without a doubt. I've seen footage where they're almost falling apart. But every show I've been to and the majority of the videos I've seen have been awesome. The second performance I went to last October was incredible.
