I know what you mean....
still some people see him that way...

i never knew people found him sexy. in my opinion Justin is sexiest.





ps. im not gay.

I heard (I think it was on the Toolshed FAQ) that Maynard was saying something about Lateralus being a muscle, but he wouldn't say what it was. So I was working out today, and on the machine I was using there was a sticker showing the different muscles the machine worked on. There were two on the back called "Latissimus Dorsi".

What do you think?

You guys might have covered this by now, but did anyone miss the words "GOD" inside the guy's brain in the liner notes? You can spot it [url=http://toolshed.down.net/pix/lat/latopen.jpg]here[/url]. (Right page.)

All my friends hate tool and A Perfect Circle, probably because they don't get into the lyrical depth of the songs. To an extent i'm happy that they don't like them. It's like an instict you either like them or you don't there really isn't any in between.

To say that a person doesn't like a band because they don't understand the lyrics is ****ing bull****. Are you retarded or something. You like a band because they create good music, not because of their lyrics. So what your friends don't like the band, maybe they think they don't sound very good. Let say you put the noise of a person being slaughtered and gun shots together, then put manyards or who evers lyrics over it. So are you going to like it? According to what you say, yes, because of the lyrical content, but any person in the right mind wouldn't because it would sound like the worst thing possible. I'm trying to say that, you like a band because they sound good, not because of some lyrics they say.

Sigh, I meant they don't like the lyrics because they like all the catchy punk ****. Also they don't like the sound of them, jesus christ don't have an aneurysm over it.

I have no male preference too but i can tell you that Adam is by far the least attractive man in the band. he has that Gene Simmonds look. Justin is attractive because he's English (hint hint :naughty: )

Thats enough thread degrading from me

Adam looks pretty depressed.

never noticed that before and i even have Leteralus. hmmm the cleverness

Yeah, thats interesting...I think its that existentialist theory of everyone being their own spiritual god....
god is progress
god is evolution...internally...
if anyone has a chance, google 'alex grey' (it may be spelt gray) - he's the guy who did the artwork for lateralus...he has own very interesting site...and he explains the concept behind the lateralus artwork...which may useful for those trying to figure out the lyrics...
Does anyone know who did the artwork for Aenima?
Both were done under the direction of Adam J, but I don't think he actually created the art...

tha'ts one way of putting it but when i saw it
what came to mind was that the image of god has been so forced upon many ppl that it is all that they ahve on their mind

NB - my earlier question about the sexiness or otherwise of MJK was really just to point out that even being anti-image is an image of sorts!

as another dead hero said: "hmmm, he's going for the anti-marketing market..you know, thats a great market right there..."
I guess all we read and wear or hear and see on TV is product begging for our fat-*** dirty dollar....

[QUOTE=christonastick]I just found it last night, its 6,7,5,8,4,9,13,1,12,2,11,3,10. I didnt really find it that amazing no big revelation or anything. Some of the songs do blend well together in that order so who knows.[/QUOTE]

Blair made a comment about all this alternate track listing stuff on the official Tool site a couple days ago. I'm not exactly sure what he said about it...something about only tool members having an album with this track listing...i don't know...didn't ready through it..just skimmed...check it out.

The eye on the back of Aenima was done here: [url]www.happypencil.com[/url]

They have a few for individual songs: [url=http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/store/smp_fastresults.html?cart=33048256771941341]here.[/url]

[QUOTE=alex_barron_qc]Did any body heard if TOOL have tab book?[/QUOTE]

They only have a few for a selection of songs, but the best tabs are those that people have tabbed themselves on the net. There is a semi official tab site for tool here you can download tabs for every album, I use that myself. As for the link, I cant remember, but most of Tools sites link to it

Lets talk Peach! Did anyone else like Giving Birth to a Stone?

*cheers!

Peach was a great band, and Giving Birth to a Stone was great, Burn was an awesome song. Although the vocals were not great, but us Brits cant sing.

Do you have the original or the Adam artwork re-release?

Yeah, ditto...
i liked peach but i felt the vocals were a bit weak compared to the rest of the band....

for those interested, my list:
tool
apc
lamb
mars volta
cog
bjork
shostakovich (ok so he's a dead composer, but i think his symphonies are the original heavy metal!)
...a million other bands a like but don't love....

hmmm another book i think tool fans may like:
tomorrow when the war began by john marsden (aussie author)

tool kicks so much mother****ing *** they should stop some of their projects and make a new album cuz htat would kick even more ***

meh, might as well add my own while were own the topic

tool
apc
finger eleven
franz ferdinand
modest mouse
deep fine grind
pilate
i mother earth
cold
linkin park

is there any tool bass tab books? i can only find the guitar ones to buy.

today i was actually so in depth with 46 & 2 that I actually started discussing the concept with my bio teacher. then i started talking about the lateralus graph with my physics teacher. Wow. If you wanna understand the names of some of Tools songs, just talked to someone who knows about them.
