tool didnt write the doom 3 theme, OMG i been listening to it constantly haha oh well

[QUOTE=an_underused_memory]The order of the 'holy gift' (i really dislike that title!)

I don't think its as amazing as that guy makes it out to be, but its still a fun exercise...[/QUOTE]

i agree i thought it was stupid, the way he expressed how every beat matched between song pfft and matra is spose to be choking therefore it must go after tick and leeches?? i dont even think it sounds like choking

[QUOTE=deadohiosky9]Ok, I've just read the last 3 pages. What is going on with all this fan talk? we are attacking other tool fans, and criticising them and everything. My god people, this is a TOOL thread. PLease lets try to focus on the band and their music, and forget about the fans. this is not aobut us. and we shouldn't attack each other either. we are all here united to talk about tool. so please no more posts on, i hate these kinds of tool fans, and tool fans shud do this, and i hate it when tool fans do this. thats not what this thread is about. so lets get back on subject. thank u.[/QUOTE]

i wasn't taking the piss, or didnt intend to **no pun intended** :D

but i was just saying how i dislike a fan of any music who dislike other people who arn't as wise and great they are... i mean music was made in the first place to either join people together * sing alongs *
or maybe it was made for catholic churchs, because writers back in the day of medievil or before that (unsure) were paid to write a song each week for sunday mass... either way its music and like most sports you get knowledge snobs who think they can tell people that there lame because they arnt as wise... why not share that knowledge or influence the uninfluenced so they can enjoy it, if they want to...

NOTE: hate is such a strong word, i prefer dislike :D

The track is Maynard holding his cat in a certain way until it made a starnge choking like noise. They recorded it, slowed it down and manipulated the sound.
Thats probably what he was referring to

umm what the f.uck sorta **** is that to do, just for a track...
i mean it sounds cool and is pretty cool stoned, but still enless there was no harm to the cat, it's a pretty shi.tty thing to do..

and btw how do you know so much :D

about my comments on apc being sell outs for the reason of band member changes, i also realised today that there was a significant time difference between there albums, with lateralus and all....

so for what someone said about other projects it sounds very plausable..

[QUOTE=Toolious<mopez>]about my comments on apc being sell outs for the reason of band member changes[/QUOTE]

They didn't choose to make the change.

I got u. Yes hate is a strong word. Dislike is much better.

Hvae you read the Tool FAQ at Toolshed? Lots of this kind of info is there. All the stuff that Adam Jones Is God knows, and lots of other Tool fans know is in that FAQ. Also random facts gathered over time. If you haven't read the FAQ, i strongly recommend it.

I doubt he hurt it, if that really is what the sound is.

Tool are (mostly) normal people, just like you and me, and they're not going to be torturing animals just to get a desired sound effect.

BTW, has anyone seen that video that they play live for the song, 46 & 2? I'm assuming that it's supposed to represent growth/evolution, but what the hell is with the naked people in the tank at the end? :lol:

I can't remember the live footage for 46 +2 cause, alas, last time i saw it was 3 years ago...last time they were here..
and the time before that, bout 6months earlier, they had no fx/video except a few projections, i think it was a warm up....
There's a great new topic that no one's really talked about in here, do any of you have any theories/comments/thoughts about the tool videos?? live or released?
I have no idea about the people in the tank though..

side note: in an interview with New Zealand press a few years ago, maynard talked about the possibilties of tool making a feature-length work one day, either a movie with storyline, a an art work extended video type thing..
it'd be interesting....but knowing the band's notorious slow release schedule i won't hold my breath...quality of quantity, i always say!

Ok, im a first time threader and a long time Tool lover. I'm interested (psyched is a better word) in the upcoming 2005 Tool album release. As most of you know, it is going to be composed of what Tool has said to be "harder and more edgy material". Although I'm a big fan of ealier Tool work like Undertow and Opiate, will they still be able to give the same amount of thought provoking messages in their songs like Lateralus? I would love it if they still worked on songs like Reflection and Disposition. I'm asking you guys what you think the new album will be like and if you think it will be just as thought oriented as everything else.

I think it will be sorta like a mix of Aenima and Lateralus, I've got my hopes up either way, I have my hopes up that Tool will blow us away with the next album.

Oh and while I'm here, ive been having trouble finding the salival cd(i know its a limited edition cd) but id like to find it and purchase it so help in that part would be great.

d'oh!
i mean quality NOT quantity

I have a question or should i say, survey. This is related to the question answer thing started by ToolOwnsYou quite a while ago. Now we all have our fav. tool song and such, but what would be your favorite tool song according to the message YOU think it is delivering? (mine would be Disgustipated, which shows that like does in fact feed on life and that is a basic as it can get)

either Aenima or eulogy

oo thats tough. I'd have to say Pu****. Emotional song. And I like the lyrics a lot. I just love how they capture the emotion so well.

Guys its tool.....it will be awesome. Every album has outdone its predecessor(spelt wrong i think) so why wouldnt this one.

Best tool song to me is Parabol/Parabola, its a masterpiece

o man just one song... The first I ever heard was Eulogy and in alot of ways it's still the best. Or Lateralus.

I did a mini review/thoughts post on the stinkfist video a while back in the thread


For whoever wondered why I know so much, its the FAQ like was mentioned that I got most of my knowledge from, then other bits from interviews, but it takes a while listening/reading Tool interviews before being able to sort the truth out from the placed misinformation.

If you want information on individual members though, like their former bands, or technical set ups, etc:

Danny - Try his website, its fasinating, has some great vidoes of his best drum beats, and a lot of other cool information. He also has a featured artist article in the Drum/percussion forum, and most people there (stagefrightken for one) know a lot about him

Justin - Read his biographies on most of the tool sites. People in the bass forum know a good deal too about his effects and techniques

Adam - Toolband.com has information about his life, which isn't really something I decide to probe into much, but if you want pictures of his holiday in Cuba (there's a cool one of a former SAM site shaped as a pentagram) and to learn more of his spiritual side, go there. But for the important information, like his set up, type of guitar, etc talk to 3074326 in particular, plus other people in the guitar forum will know more than me. There is link to his rig, but I can't find it at the moment.

MJK - If you are looking for information on this man, go to every tool site. If you are searching anywhere else, dont believe all you hear.




Wow, tht was pointless to do. But if anyone here does have a question that cant be answered here (v.doubtful, there are some intelligent people here) thats where to go

Hey sorry man, I do actually remember your stinkfist video post, I'd forgotten!

but still, its the only one in memory!
anyone with salival may have some ideas, but i confess i rarely watch the videos....
does anyone have the DVD version of salival?
and if so, have you listened to the 5.1 surround mixes?
i am yet to hear them but i'd be interested to know if its better/worse/indifferent...


to add to the last post, toolshed has great interview transcripts, they're well worth reading!
and all the drummers out there, check out danny's site, as a-j-is-god mentioned, the videos are well worth it, and i was interested to read his philosophies, it apparent that he is as much a part of the tool 'philosophy' as the lyricist....

tool f[COLOR=White]ucking[/COLOR] rules

Lateralus is a song withg a great beggining and end, thats what it is all about.

Alright this is reallly random and off subject, but adam Jones is God, what kind of guitar do u have?

At the moment, its a crappy Fender Squire, the Showmaster model. It has two bad pick ups, but the humbucker has some quality. Had it for a year, but im buying a new one next month. Now pwn me with the awesomness of your guitar.

And to keep it on Tool subject, I like my current one as I can get the opening sounds on Eulogy better than any other i've played
