Thanks, I'll definetely buy aMOTION now :thumb:


Man I'm gone for a few days and like 20 pages are here, so hard to catch up in this thread.

The You Send It file of joz's bass playing would take me 8 or more hours to download and i can't be on the internet that much at one time (im limited use customer). Do you know if joz did it by "feel" or by playing to the actual track? if it was to the actual track ill send a file of me playing EXACTLY to the track. if it was by feel could you just send the Stinkfist file by it's self thanks for the help.

I'm DLing JoZ's basslines. I hate dialup. :(

Anyways, I recored Part of Me about 3 hours ago. I double tracked it and everything! I didn't like the way it turned out, so I scrapped it and learned Forest by System of a Down. Then I ate dinner.(Ribs and fettuccini, if you care to know) After that I gave an attempt at Sober. I planned on doing it like this: Recording the overdriven parts in one track, then going back with my acoustic to play the flange parts. I planned to add an effect to my acoustic track. I got it all down, but I tried added a wahwahthatdoesn'treallysoundlikewah effect and it turned out like crap, so I scrapped it. :( Now my parents are watching TV so I can't record anything. Gay.

I still need help on how to do the part after the 16 measure guitar rest. How do you do the squeally deal? It's probably impossible to tab, so, just tell me whereto put my fingers and I'll figure it out.

Ben, or whoever has JoZ's Sober bass track-I hate to be so picky and gay, but could you please YSI the Sober bassline? I can't be on more than 2 or so hours, and I'm in the same position as Faith+1. :( Thanks in advance.

Ok, looks like I missed alot since yesterday..... can anybody update me on what we have done and what is going on here?

[url=http://www.fileplanet.com/132226/130000/fileinfo/Tool-Band-Theme]I thought this may be of interest to some of you guys. It's a Tool theme for your compy. I haven't DLed it for my self, but I figured some of you may be interested.[/url]

LMPH-Still looking for your real name so I don't have to acronymate your s/n. As for your question, not much has happened. Rob uploaded the guitar to Ænema and Ben mix'd it. Ben also uploaded all of The JoZ's bass tracks into a ZIP file on page 342, in case you were interested in that. There was also lots of APC talk. Kurrpt uploaded all of amotion, I beleive. (Not sure why it took him 10 posts to do so, but hey, whatever.)

hey guys im a drummer and i want to do the track for the competition. i can play all of travisis licks but i havent heard any tool, but the drummer cannot be as good as travis barker.

Gimmick!

[QUOTE=ToolOwnsYou][b]
Track: Eulogy
Album: Aenima
[/b]

This is what the song means to me.. I could be right, I could be wrong.. Usually with TOOL there is no wrong answer. Anyways!

Here is the dictionary Definition of [b]Eulogy[/b]:
[b]
Eulogy - A laudatory speech or written tribute, especially one praising someone who has died.?
[/b]

This song can be used towards anyone with power, such as a dictator, president, GOD, etc..
For conversation sake, lets use god. Maynard takes a sarcastic approach in this track, going back and fourth
From being serious, back to sarcastic remarks, lets look at how the song starts

Eulogy Being the bible in this case.

[b][I]
He had alot to say.
He had alot of nothing to say.
We'll miss him.

So long.
We wish you well.
You told us how you weren't afraid to die.
Well then, so long.
Don't cry.
Or feel too down.
Not all martyrs see divinity.
But at least you tried.

Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice that was strong and loud.
We'll miss him.
Ranting and pointing his finger
At everything but his heart.
We'll miss him.
[/b][/I]

Maynard sets the theme, of someone powerful standing over a crowd.. I picture the time of Christ, people in robes, with god preaching to people hungry for the word of god. Yet all he is saying was just a waste of breath, a waste of time. Hence Not all martyrs see divinity, But at least you tried.â I picture this good ol cartoon act. the devil on one shoulder and an angel on the other, arguing between each other, just for better understanding. Hence he had a lot to say then he had a lot of nothing to say. The last verse make me picture god, because if you have ever read the bible it describes, that no one is perfect, but Christ. ranting and pointing his finger at everything but his heart.

[b][I]
Standing above the crowd,
He had a voice so strong and loud and I
Swallowed his facade cuz I'm so
Eager to identify with
Someone above the ground,
Someone who seemed to feel the same,
Someone prepared to lead the way, with
Someone who would die for me.

[/b][/I]
Back to the devil/angel theory.. This person is lost, so he looks for someone to lead the way for eternity. Some one that could relate to him. And someone above the ground (all the features of Christ) so this person believes in christ, for help. For guidance, yet he is stabbed in the back rather then being at peace.
Facade, stands for a face of a building as in God shows his face, all beautiful and perfect, but when you enter the building its thrashed and messy

[b][I]
Will you? Will you now?
Would you die for me?
Don't you f*ckin lie.

Don't you step out of line.
Don't you f*ckin lie.
[/b][/I]

The messy building reflects his lies.. Picture it as if the person has fallen for the beginning message, yet finds out everything he knew or was told were all lies.

[b][I]
Come down.
Get off your f*ckin cross.
We need the f*ckin space to nail the next fool martyr.

To ascend you must die.
You must be crucified
For your sins and your lies.
Goodbye...
[/b][/i]
I feel this is after he understands that you dont have to be a follower to have eternal happiness. And is somewhat just making fun of the whole situation.

Welp.. there it is hopefully it makes sense, it does to me. And like I has said before I could be totally wrong.

Who here knows what Aenima is a tribute to? Bill Hicks! Ding! tell him what he's won Johnny!

Yep, that about covers it. Anyone heard of Bill Hicks? You guys should really check him out, he's the best comedian I've ever heard. Hits on a lot of really great points. Check out his relentless cd or rant in E minor and then re-listen to Eulogy, it makes a lot more sense, and you surely don't have to stretch as far. Just trying to shed some light. Take Care!

some of apc songs sound similiar to moby, especially 'when the levees break'.. what genre do you consider this..

[QUOTE=Otherside]This is kinda(read:very) off-topic, but if someone could upload some Isis tracks for me, I would be eternally greatfull.[/QUOTE]

I uploaded 2 for you in the YSI thread. One from The Red Sea, and one from Panopticon. Let me know if you want more from either of those CD's.

Me wants jimmy and the patient. If i have to learn to play bass.....ima be pissed

[QUOTE=XyleM]So far I think this album is awesome man, its exactly the sorta stuff I've been looking for :thumb:

And on a side note how the f[b][i][/b][/i]uck do you guys play Tool stuff!! I just can't get the rhythm's right, especially in the verses when the guitar isn't as clear, I play what I would play, then stop and listen and realise Adam is playing some weird a[b][i][/b][/i]ss sh[b][i][/b][/i]it!

Do you guys read off tabs? Or do you use Powertabs and get the rhythm from there?[/QUOTE]

Awesome, downloading now, thanks alot :D

[QUOTE=Otherside]-sigh- Another unsucessful upload attempt AJG :(

I swear to you, I will have this done! :mad:[/QUOTE]

Cheers for trying again, I dont dare touch bittorent stuffs myself.

Ill get the various requests sorted once I re-read through the thread.

EDIT: Right, two uploads asked for. here they come

[URL=http://s11.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=28J0GPA69KD8V1N43Z90XEF02L]JoZ's bass for Stinkfist[/URL]

[URL=http://s51.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3C9F95CWQFGCO3QKL4AKOR0SNZ]....and the bass for sober[/URL]

As for how he recorded them, he played along with the album track, you can tell with some as you can faintly hear the track playing in the background.

Hey guys...I havent followed this thread at all before so forgive me if I'm bringing up an old topic here but I heard rumors of a new Tool album maybe even this year. I know thats probably very unlikely with Tool but still....is there any truth to any of this?

We're still armed with only rumours im afraid. All we know is they are working on an album, they have quite a bit of material coming together, but no idea of release date.

Im starting to think that people should start making predictions on what date the album will be released on. Then a prize for the closest

My estimations: September.

If you pinpoint to an exact date, even better.

Reminder that most UK new releases happen on a Monday, so that'll narrow down date selections. Not sur eif its the same in the states.

AND IF THE US/UK RELEASE DATES DO NOT COINCIDE, I WILL BE ONE MAD BRIT :angry:

Oh, and my prediction: October 24th. But thats a hopeful one, as that would mean its out for my birthday

It's hard to say without knowing how much they actually have done...but ill say december just because I know we'll end up waiting till close to next year

September 21st then... I'm not sure, but I think NA cd's come out on Wednsdays?

thanks for the bass track ben

Eulogy (to the best of my knowledge) is about L. Ron Hubbard. But yeah I guess Bill Hicks was a big inspiration on the album. Though I don't think it was a tribute to him.

joZ recorded playing along with a midi file, he was playing from sight on his comp...

[QUOTE=Idiot Martyr]Eulogy (to the best of my knowledge) is about L. Ron Hubbard. But yeah I guess Bill Hicks was a big inspiration on the album. Though I don't think it was a tribute to him.[/QUOTE]

I think Eulogy could be applied to Bill Hicks, Ron L. Hubbard, and somehow (and some people believe this) it could be about Maynard himself... speaking in third person.. Though I think Ron L. Hubbard would be a prime choice because Aenima was the album that Maynard vented his anger about Hubbard... Like so on the title track "**** Ron L. Hubbard and **** all his clones.."

Remember that Tool always stresses for the fans to form their own interpretations :thumb:

I think it's a big ole generalisation for many people who aspire to be martyrs, it explains that people who actually want to become martyrs, don't become martyrs. Same kind of thing as 'A person that wants to be a politician should never be given the chance'...Maynard basically says it's not all fun and games so come down get off your cross and stop bothering people. He may have had someone in mind when he wrote it, he may have not...I'll guess we'll never know...

I'm actually liking amotion atm, thanks kurrpt :)

Hoorah! Rock/Metal is open again!

Im gonna have to drop out of the covers for drums, Theres no way will be able to record my parts. Really sorry :(
