Its not a band. Its the basist Les Claypool from Primus, whom im more confident you will have heard of

[QUOTE=jamesclelland]any tips for the stinkfist solo, i cant make it sound right, ive tried everything.[/QUOTE]

Use flange. Practice your alternative picking and work up the speed.

Let each note ring out. On distortion setting, it sounds a mess, but increase the amount of flange and it begins to sound correct. Just adjust till you find the correct level. Then find the ideal fret position for the muted parts (i find a different spot on every guitar) and you have all you need for the solo.

Any more help needed for that song, post here. I love playing that song :D

jamesclelland 12-03-2004 01:05 PM

thanks man, my flangers a little different from most peoples but, i'll make it work.

AJG, can you send me a Black Mages, song, Your avatar reminded me to ask you. Think you could send me J E N O V A?

Adam Jones is GOD 12-05-2004 03:47 PM

Easier method, you can download any of their last album tracks from [URL=http://www.geocities.com/akai_sakura/TBM/downloads.html]here[/URL]

(I like the fact that you knew where to leave a message where I was likely to see it :lol: )

Ok thanks. And yah I figured you'd see this first than anything else :cool:

Kage 12-05-2004 04:19 PM

What are your settings for his distortion on Stinkfist? I can't seem to get it to sound right. And also, doesn't he use more flanger during the solo parts than during the rest of the song?

clearvision 12-05-2004 04:20 PM

What are the chances of tool being at download people?

Oh and AJIG <3 for the nomination in 100 best...my only 1 :upset:

Adam Jones is GOD 12-05-2004 04:22 PM

Sinc eim using the built in effects with the Marshall MG30DFX, cant help too much, my setting is about a 1/3 of the way round on the dial. I tend to use the same amount for the intro riff as for the solo.

The way i play it is

Intro : ON
Muted part: Off
Chours: OFF
Solo: ON
Rest Of Song: OFF

You needed it, as i can now say i was the first nomination in that thread :thumb:

Chances at being at download, 50/50. Although all my hopes rest on it.

They havent played Donnington for 3 years now. not that it means anything, but really, they could be a front runner for headliner. Who else would really headline it?

clearvision 12-05-2004 04:37 PM

SOAD? Mudvayne?

That is my wish anyway. I will actually be able to go this year, i think AS' are earlier than GCSE's...No science exam getting in the way of my festival this year!

Adam Jones is GOD 12-05-2004 04:41 PM

SOAD maybe. Mudvayne, no. They didnt do too well in 2003 when they played the 2pm slot.

I just hope the lne up is better in general this year. Last year had some amazing bands, and then lots of crappy filler. Least the Game On stage was consistent.

I went during my AS levels and A levels, and got lucky with the timing for both

clearvision 12-05-2004 04:57 PM

Slayer = crappy filler :lol:

My plan would be to go see a band i like...then take a trip to the toilet, before downing a few beers, and making my way to the next band hehe

Adam Jones is GOD 12-05-2004 05:04 PM

There is a good amount to see at Download normally. Last year we had the Game On skate bowl (mild amusement).

2003 we had the Lesbian R rated show on top of a Knight Rider style car, which 'made' us miss Sepeltura.


But if tool went, i would spend all weekend sitting down awaiting their sunday evening headlining set.

Quick question:

I'm gonna write a CD for a friend who says hes interested in hearing some Tool. What should I put on a standard 700MB CD, I only have access to Aenima, Lateralus and the tracks Sober, Undertow and Opiate.

Thanks guys,

Fallen Angel

clearvision 12-06-2004 05:00 PM

All of what you have acess to...burn it as a data cd..

Ken is the any way you can send me any recordings of you're band?
Espicially if you have one of your tool covers. :D

<mIkE> 12-07-2004 02:58 PM

Any one know when new tool cd's comin?????????????????

Kage 12-07-2004 03:06 PM

[QUOTE=Medopalis]Ken, unless you edit the poll, I'm afraid it looks like that song's out now. ;)

Anyway...if there's only one Tool song in the final 10, that's got a better chance of going through, right? All the Metallica, Maiden and Floyd fans are going to be REALLY split on which song to vote for.[/QUOTE]


yeah, that's true... I know where my vote's going.

Depending on what music he normally listens to, I'd go with Aenima as an introductory CD. If he's into more progressive stuff then give him Lateralus, either works in my experience.

Dancin' Man 12-07-2004 03:09 PM

That was my logic on that poll. I voted Parabola, did you?

Really? I missed that reference. Good for them, I hate Scientology...bunch of ****in' wackos IMO, and I generally tend to be pretty open minded towards New Religious Movements.

Third Eye is one of Tool's earlier epic songs. One of the top 3 songs on Aenima. I love the effects in it, and the lyrics are fantastic as usual with Tool. Underrated song, or maybe just overlooked at times.

i know i often overlook that song.... because its 13 min. haha and i just dont have that much time sometimes

[QUOTE=magicaltroll834]i know i often overlook that song.... because its 13 min. haha and i just dont have that much time sometimes[/QUOTE]

I overlooked Third Eye for quite sometime. Mainly because of its length. But I just recently realized how great that song is. Its amazing.

I_Love_JimmyPage 12-07-2004 09:38 PM

I absolutely love everything Tool does, they are one of the most creative, eminent, stupendous, and well, just plain awesome bands ever. Maynard is a living legend, I'm in love with him you could say. "Third Eye" is a outstanding song, the way it's put together is perfect, he begining, the lovely way he sings, "so good to see you once again....", all the way up to the ending with "PRYING OPEN MY THIRD EYE!" One of my favorite songs by Tool would have to be "Reflection", the music, his voice, and the words he sings are all so beautifully melancholy.

And to restate the question posted by mIKE, does anyone know exactally when the new Tool dc will be coming out....i heard sometime around the end of December....i hope soon!

bubba1403 12-07-2004 09:50 PM

i think eulogy was written about someones pointless life, and all the empty words that this man said. It sounds like a person speaking, well, someones eulogy, and saying how useless their life was but that they were still gonna miss him. Sounds like the guy used to be a preacher of some kind, using the fire and brimstone approach, blaming everybody for their mistakes, but not mentioning his own....

niobium 12-07-2004 09:52 PM

third eye is grand, but i favor the live version on salival just a little more. the only thing that would have added to the live version that i feel i was a little disappointed was at the end where maynard says ,"prying open my third eye", he didn't continue it over and over like he did the the studio version. otherwise the live > studio (but just by a little bit)

I_Love_JimmyPage 12-07-2004 09:59 PM

I would have to agree, i usually favor live versions of songs...they seem to have much more spirit and energy. "Maynard's Dick" is such an awesome song at the end of "Salival" Maynard's voice in that song is absolutely breathtaking...its so very different, but then again Tool is never predictable. Who knows what their new cd will be like...i'm sure it will be wonderful. I can't wait till it comes out....can you??
