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

[QUOTE=Chu]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.[/QUOTE]
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...

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

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.

I think Ænema is a good song to nominate, because the intro is really catchy. Its a good song lyrically and musically. I think Lateralus is good too. Pus.hit and H. show Tool's more emotional side. But those are my favorite four.

Obviously the best Tool song is . . .
 

Parabola.

Third Eye for me.

[QUOTE=TheMachineRagesOn]what about Lateralus? (the song )[/QUOTE]
Best. Song. Ever.


From the intro to a little past seven minutes, it's already a pretty **** sweet song, but once the bass starts that distorted slide and Maynard's singing gets that rythmic confidence I feel like I'm in heaven. The whole song's a journey, much like the other material on the album.

I have and have (not very thoroughly) heard the new APC CD, eMOTIVe. Really, in my opinion, it isn't as fantastic as any of their previous work. I did want to see more of actual APC songs, but I guess I can settle for this. If you're a fan of the slower side of APC, then knock yourself out.

^there is a thread on it...Most people agree with you. Though a couple songs grow on you, Gimme gimm gimme and when the levee breaks to name a couple...

if it comes down to one song.....its gotta be aenema
no matter if ur a tool fan or not, u like that song

i remember my astronomy teacher askin me one time during senior year...
"whats that tool song, where the singer's saying 'learn to swim'?"
i put the song on and gave him my headphones, and a grin quickly spread across his face...

sh1t like that always makes u feel good...spreading the good word

so my vote would be fore aenema

I also think 4 Degrees, is one of Tool's best songs. It shows their awesome lyrics, Adam's kick as.s riffs + a solo, and Mayanrd's kick as.s singing.

My vote would go to either Lateralus, Third Eye, or Jimmy.

Yeah, AEnema, Lateralus, The Grudge are my favorites as of right now...but it constantly changes
