[QUOTE=Maynard James Keenan]I just finsihed 'OK Computer'........I liked a few songs, but I don't see myself becoming a Radiohead fanatic.[/QUOTE]

That's too bad, I find The Bends and OK Computer to be works of genius.

coldplays latest work was worst than their previous, I think theyre just making somewhat cliche songs like their latest ballad Fix You. They are ****ing media whores but o well I like em and I got to admit I really like their bass playing even if its simple ****

yeah, I quite like Amnesiac. Very inspiring!

Im not a fan of Codplay at all really, only one or two songs i like by them.

[QUOTE=faith+1]haha yes!!!! you are correct, he does do the exact same drum groove in [U][I][B]EVERY[/B][/I][/U] song above 140BPM.[/QUOTE]

I knew it.....it's repetitive as hell, dude........

ya, it gets REALLY boring, there drummer isnt to talented, so he tends to accent with the piano or guitar....which just leads to repatition because there songs are all middle of the road basic 4/4. Now, there is such thing as technical pop, check out Stings "Ten Summoners Tale" there are some sections that put tool's odd-time usage to shame.

I got that Disectional Tool shirt. The Lateralus one with the spiral logo on the front.

I want that shirt as well, my favorite Tool shirt design.

I have that one, and I use it as a decoration for my stereo (as it has a light that won't go off at night). I'm afraid of wearing it because i don't want it to look like ****.

A d**k?

Tool hatred in your area?

If you like the band, wear the merchandise (I hate the word merch, if I am posting it, it's not me), don't be ashamed! :thumb:

I have the tool shirt that has a human heart behind the logo, its ace

He doesn't want the shirt to look like **** is what he said.

Oh, okay....still, it's cool.......

Yeah, that shirt has a nice design on it. I'm listening to Cog for the first time today as well. Not too bad.

that song jaked uploaded is teh seks its called Anarchy Ok, i havent heard anything else from Cog

Yeah I just listened to Anarchy Ok. It's on The New Normal album. I'm listening to Resonate now.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

my bass's 4th string brokkeeeeeeeee. ****!

Buy a new one..?

Bass strings are way more expensive than regular strings.

Yeah, probably because of production costs for the strings.

I'm not what you would call 'well-versed' in the area of economics, so don't take my word for it.

[QUOTE=Mr Herb]I have the tool shirt that has a human heart behind the logo, its ace[/QUOTE]
I've got the same one.

yeah Ill buy a new but itll have to wait till next week and well I dont like not playing for so long. Plus the string is only 3 months old. dam.

Local shops have good strings, I usually buy the mid price strings, not the cheap ones nor the really pricy ones



blidnwriting: one of the acest shrits ever id say

[QUOTE=Moses]Bass strings are way more expensive than regular strings.[/QUOTE]
You've got to do it sometime, though, so now's as good a time as ever.


Wow, really slow conversation today.

Okay....what do you think is the hardest Tool song to perform live/cover?

Probably Third Eye, I'd think it would be impossible to replicate that exactly.

Obviously it'd be Third Eye.

/Beaten to the puch.

ticks and leeches Id say, its toguh getting a drummer that can play that, plus you gotta get the screaming down too


edit: third eye actually, i forgot about it

[QUOTE=BlindWriting]Probably Third Eye, I'd think it would be impossible to replicate that exactly.[/QUOTE]

True...even the band can't get it exactly, so.......

It's all about the drums, whichever song has the hardest drum part will be the hardest to pull off live. Because Danny is the only real virtuoso in the band. Though some of Maynards lines may be tricky to land, they can be done. The end of push!t and Euglogy's chorus for example. Adam's tone can be nearly impossible to replicate, but to come close isn't too tough.

There's nothing hard about screaming. Maynard just used the wrong technique and had crapped his voice out for three weeks. Also getting a drummer for any Tool song is hard.

Whyd maynard use the wrong technique? dumb bastard :lol:

[QUOTE=clearvision] Adam's tone can be nearly impossible to replicate, but to come close isn't too tough.[/QUOTE]

Darn straight. Unless you work a very well paying job, can get in touch with some rare suppliers, and have a girlfriend who mantains her legs well, you'll only come close.

:lol::lol: Cam is very perdy.

Does anybody know his complete effects setup?

[QUOTE=Maynard James Keenan]Does anybody know his complete effects setup?[/QUOTE]

No, but I did find a great diary site off one of Adam's friends, which had pictures of his attic with ALL his pedals spread out everywhere. It showed some really odd htings, like school style ammeters and some old looking pedals that looked modded.

Trouble is, I dont think that site keeps entries uploaded for more than a month, so I cant even find the site now. Which is a shame.

a comment on coldplay, i gotta say Chris Martin and the bassist, Guy Berryman or something like that are the most talented 2 on the whole band :)

Chris Martin is a narcissist and I'm not the biggest fan of his lyrics.

His voice? Not bad.

His dancing on the [I]Speed of Sound[/I] video? ****ing ridiculous.

Dunno, hes lyrics arent special, hes just mroe talented than their drummer and gutiarist at what he does. And the bassist, Id say hes the most talented in the bunch. A few of his lines have surprised me, not that they are hard. just simply more than I expect from such a popish band

I always remember that, to celebrate the release of Parachutes, he went out and got singing lessons*.

Parachutes was there best record, they will never write a song better than shiver, the countermelodies and rhythms in that song are great.
