[QUOTE=The_buzzard_of_greenhill]can anybody on here please tell me the secret track list you guys talked about toward the start on lateralus[/QUOTE]
the holy gift maybe?

not a hidden song, but a hidden aspect of the album. If you rearrange the song order as such :
Parabol, Parabola, Schism, Ticks & Leeches, Mantra, Lateralus, Faiip de Oiad, The Grudge, Triad, Eon Blue Apocalypse, Reflection, The Patient, and finally Disposition, it's supposed to sound crazy differnet and open up another world and whatnot. wasn't that impressive to me, but you should try it.

^ I wasn't highly impressed either when I first tried the alternate order, but I'm downloading a program now that should be able to edit out the noiseless spaces between songs. Hopefully that might make things better.

Also, I would like to add Ticks & Leeches and Sober to my previous suggestions for most popular R&M song. How can we only choose one song!?

if this was a Tool song going in it needs to be a really good song that also would make a first time listener make them want to hear more from them, Reflection is mean but i dont think it is a good song to start off on. if it is a song from Tool they would probably put Schism on but my vote would be ether Lateralus, Eulogy or Push it.

and also what does everyone think of eMOTIVe i havnt yet heard it because it hasnt came out yet were i live, does it compeard well to their of two albums, best songs? etc. just give we the details here.

with the the fibonacci sequence it sounds good and makes the song flow into each other but i dont think it was that good either. i think it is worth a listen though its just a change i supose.

H is probably my favourite, but the grudge is a close second, and then theres sober, my first tool song. Meh i like em all.

/sounds cliche

Seriously though if we try and pump tool up the ranks we will have to unite with 1 song, no use half us going with schism and the other with lateralus or something. The only people that will vote for tool will be people that have albums and not just radio people, so we can choose any track we like...

But deciding on one song alone is gonna be tough. We should set up some secretive thread with a poll with the top 10 songs, and whichever wins, we all have to vote on.

And hey, tis mod endorsed again! So nice and legal...

Something from Salival!

Why does no one talk about Salival? :(

Because only a few of us lucky ones (me included) has it. We dont say much as its rubbing salt in the wound for those unlucky ones.

I paid good money for it :)
I really like Merkaba (Live) from it :thumb:
Good stuff.

Not at all man, please converse about about Salival it will be added incentive to me to get it and others.

how should the one Tool song be judged, i mean what criteria should we overlook to determine the winner?

Since its a best rock/metal song poll, it should be a song that is able to be placed alongside other rock/metal songs, and not a more alternative tool song. Not to use the word radio friendly, but at least one of their more 'regular' songs.

I think SFK has a better idea of what we need though

[QUOTE=Medopalis]Planning to fix up the poll are we boys? :evil:
[/QUOTE]

Shhhh :angry:

Its in revenge for Tool not being on the metal band comp

i see, what about something off opiate??

[QUOTE=Medopalis] So I'm sure there'll be more than 1 Tool song in the top 100..if you really want to you can nominate everything they've ever recorded. :p
[/QUOTE]

Thy will be done....


..and of course, Medopalis yet again = GOD

Alt/indie one is going well may i say

Medopalis you are a champ and yes i get it now, thanks :thumb:

ahhhhh well, now we will have Med to help us set all this scheming up!

Well, my though behind nominating Aenema is most everyone has at least heard it so they are familiar with it. If they are not familiar with Tool and are a musician and hear the song then they have to be impressed with thier talent. Plus the message is kinda cool...

Salival is great, it has the Live Third Eye, with the different introduction, I have the copy of Salival with Maynard's Dick on the end, hehe :)
It has Merkaba Live which is an awesome song I don't think they've released a studio version of it, or have they?
Their cover of Led Zeppelin's No Quarter, which is fantastic!
And of course the Message To Harry Manback II.
The trippy LAMC phone call, which is just freaky! :P
It's a good album to own I think, I'm not a huge Tool fan but I like this album, alot.

amen to that, great song lyrically and instrumentally, Justin is the man :thumb:

what about Lateralus? (the song )

A song I haven't seen mentioned yet...unless i missed it is "Stinkfist" ...i think thats a great song...just a suggestion

You forgot "You Lied". One of my all time favorite Tool songs by far.

[QUOTE=coddingtown]You forgot "You Lied". One of my all time favorite Tool songs by far.[/QUOTE]

Just remeber its not a tool song though, its a cover of Peach (being justin's old band, blah blah blah.....) just to avoid confusion

So we go with aenema...what do we have to do to get it to number one?

/starts registering accoutns

Not that for a start, we have enough fans here to help it.

Wait for jonny (medopalis) to put up the comp, it'll be after the classic rock one is done.

And check R&M this friday for a present for tool fans

What about Lateralus... I think that song really sums up alot of the band's style, it has them playing loud, soft, maynard singing all different ways, its really good, and the instrumentals are good, along with the lyrics... The only thing I think will drive new ppl away from it is the 2 minute intro, even though its good, some ppl just cant sit through it and dont like that.

Man this friday? I'm gonna have to log on THIS friday? Grrr My Gta game will come early in the morning and i was planning not to leave my seat all day...yes i have already bought nappies! Man it's like christmas come early, a tool suprise and GTA...

We can nominate any song, but what we want to make sure is that we have a front runner that will make it all the way. So we have to come to a netural agreement. We cant let Enter sandman or Run To The Hills be beating Lateralus or Pu****, etc.

And that intro is brilliant, people who like build up will adore it, tool fan or not

Well aenema is techincally the first tool song i heard. I heard Sober early this yr and i started listening to more of their stuff. My freind did an interpretation of aenemas lyrics for an english assignment. My mates were all tapping their feet and stuff, and they are all HIp-hop/rap dudes, so aenema maybe a good choice as it's accessible...

double post ++

He he, ill be on briefly too, im going out and doing the old fashioned thing of buying GTA from a shop that day. Soundtrack is missing some Tool though, but cant have it all

lateralus,stinkfist, and ænema is my alltime favorites

[QUOTE=Adam Jones is GOD]He he, ill be on briefly too, im going out and doing the old fashioned thing of buying GTA from a shop that day. Soundtrack is missing some Tool though, but cant have it all[/QUOTE]

Hopefully mine will come tomorrow...

Though it will probs come on mon :upset:

If it doesnt come on friday this tool suprise bedda cheer me up!

if it comes on monday, then ill make sure i post all the spoilers I can :p

Its not that big of a treat/suprise, but its a tool related thing (trying not to oversell it)

Meh its just gonna be some pigmy love circus/zaum thing....when i havent listened to either...im just gnna be all hmphhhh and its gonna make my day worse...

/turns emo and slits wrists

Really jonny, of all the people to ask what could possibly be happening on friday.

we all know it wont be THAT great in any case

[QUOTE=Adam Jones is GOD]Because only a few of us lucky ones (me included) has it. We dont say much as its rubbing salt in the wound for those unlucky ones.[/QUOTE]
yeah i had to pay !!75 DOLLARS!! :amaze: for that, which happens to be a good price, since i bought it off ebay
I'm not sure whether it was worth it or not. the DVD part is hardly anything, and since i had already watched the videos, it was pretty pointless.
the CD part was .bad. .***. though :thumb:

its a collectors item, at least you can say you own their whole collection (if you have the others)

And the videos are just as good to see over and over if you are a big video appreciator

more like a little over a minute... but whatever, i love the intro. the first distorted riff is awesome :D

the videos are great, if you have the time, to just watch and interpret. cool feeling when you think of something that you think tool might have intended you to think.
