Well I just uncovered my old noisey effects processor today. I think I'm gonna rerecord Stinkfist in the afternoon and use it. It adds some hiss but I hope its not too much. If it is I'll chalk it. Anyways. cheerio.

Wow. after this cd the next tool album will come out when am 21 or 22 porbably, wonder If ill still listen to them when that time comes.

And after thinking aobut it. . . Blair is a funny man



ALso, maynard appeared on a radio show with josh freese last week on the LA area.....he sed notn bout the nu cd

[QUOTE=Da_Machine]tooltabs.net provide pretty in depth playing ability. Don't use the Guitar pro tabs they for some reason for Tool they sound NOTHING like they are supposed to.GP works great for every band but tool and I have no idea why.however if you wanted to on your own you could take the the tabs from tooltabs.net and put in your own GP[/QUOTE]
****it...

I wish more Mx Tabbers would tab to GP. :(

*links self*


:)

GP is a top notch program but I have not run into ONE single half-decent Tool tab on GP.They are all horribly timed and they are horribly mistabbed. I am talking about the ones off of mysongbook.com btw.

lateralus is correct except for the drum part.

[QUOTE=Adam Jones is GOD]people always criticise Adam as he uses a lot of effects and people say he doesn't have much skill as a guitarist (although anyone who hears his amazing tremelos/speed picking will know otherwise).

I (obviously) think he's great. Its not just guitaring, it's also his videos and artwork that helps make Tool great[/QUOTE]


Adam is the weakest link as far as technical skill on his instrument....sorry but true his skills are no where near as evolved as maynards voice, justins bass abilities, and NO WHERE NEAR danny on drums.....and the tremelo/speed picking you speak of is nothing...(listen to dream theater and children of bodom if u want to see TRUE skill on the guitar) however adam jones doesn't play the normal role in tool that guitarists generally play in bands, he accents the rest of the music... it works out great. he is very good at what he does which is writing artsy riffs etc.
he's not about raw skill but about what works best for their music.

and as far as the comment on them being satanists...they are all against ALL organized religion...including satanism (which is just as bad as any of the others(no offense but true)

His skill to create riffs that suit the music are obviously just as high as the other members skills are at what they bring to the band. How do you know how good he is at tremelo picking/speed picking ? Have you heard him play a dream theatre song or Nile song...?

How do you know what they are for and against ?

WTF?

Adam's use of effects are second to none, morello comes close, but not quite. Please try and recreate the tone in triad.

Justin isn't too special compared to really amazing bassists like Myung...

Adam does a great job with complementing maynard, thats the way the band works...

Justin + Danny just set the groove of the song, Maynard creates the melody then adam just ties it all up.

I am actually starting to get annoyed about people saying how great maynard is, he isnt actually that good all he has is a great sounding voice he doesnt have much range or anything. The most amazing thing he has done is the scream in the Grudge and if some people tried hard enough they could do it.

All in all Maynard has a unique good sounding voice barely any range and he practically uss the same tone all the time.

well id say, name someone in that genre, or similar genre that is better, and ill take your post into consideration

Myanrds voice gives the music a distant feel, his voice is pretty surreal, it doesn't rasp like people like chris cornell and stuff. It's is very smooth and he controls it well, his best moment is the last couple of minutes of Push!t. HIs voice can take the back seat easily, wheras other vocalists cannot do this.

there are so many aspects to singing, that not a having a HUGE range, doesnt mean you cant kick arse. Hes no classically trained opera singer, but he is prolly the best voice in rock right now

I dont think range is the most important thing in vocals but there is better singers in rock.
