A new tool fan is always welcomed. Hope you stay and learn a little.

Passenger
 

Anyone out there listen to Deftones. While recording White Pony Maynard watched and gave advice here and there. Chino was having trouble recording the song Passenger and Maynard decided to give an example. Chino thought Maynard hit the song dead on and decided that it'd sound better if they both sung it and even let Maynard right his own chorus and all. The song is awesome if some of you haven't heard it already.

Passenger is my favorite Deftones song. Maynard's vocals in that song are so powerful. I love what Tool's members (or even the band as a whole) can do to other bands' songs.

For example - I've rediscovered my love for the No Quarter cover. Such a great song.

Passenger is one of the main reasons i listen to White Poney, even though that cd is amazing.

Teenager > Passenger... :eek: Blasphemous.

Teenager is another song i adore from that album. I think Team Sleep should of done that song instead though.

[QUOTE=KoRnyToOL]Hey. The Tool Theory is very interesting. I found out that the Lateralus album was inspired by another theory to do with planet X. If u havent heard about this go and find it out. Crazy ****. Also with the whole using your brain thing, there is a special code playlist in lateralus that if u play the tracks in a different order correctly it like opens your eyes to sum other message. Havent tried it yet but I am dying to although it does freak me out a bit. Dunno why just that feeln you get with listening to tool, you know? Maynards lyrics are the most thought provoking i've come across and i won't even try explaining his songs. Am not sure if they are fully meant to be explained but good luck trying. There is a site sumwhere about tool theorys i cant remember what it is but if u type planet x and tool you'll get there. Lets hope for a continuation of this good thread.

Sorry if this wasnt what you were lookin for.[/QUOTE]opens a new message to your weyes dude wtf that makes no sense and tis not possible seriously go to get a reality check

Holy Sh!t. I haven't really posted here in a while. I don't even have to ask. i know nothing new happened.

[QUOTE=Dude3]His guitar playing is ok and all, but he just can't write good guitar parts. I mean, they're really bad! He's writing lyrics too(which I may start too), and while they're ok, they're just kinda crappy in content. Its kinda like Slayer gone wrong. Yeah.....
And he's planning on singing, I can already foresee that he won't be able to sing and play guitar at the same time, let alone actually be a good singer. I wouldn't mind singing, if my voice was ok. Actually, it may work out if I sung. And wrote lyrics. And wrote all the guitar parts. And kick him out of the band..... [/QUOTE]

The funny thing is, he's probably thinking the exact same thing about you..Hehe

You know what? You're probably right.

Honestly though, I'm not trying to sound like an a-hole, but I do have tiny bit more talent than him. His songwriting skill just totally lacks in my opinion. For him, his song structures are all the same: Intro-verse-chorus-verse or solo-outro. He listens to good music, so you's think his riffs and all would be great, but he's just kinda lost. He's been playing for about 2 years, so he should know what he's doing. And while his style is WAY different than mine, his playing is just terrible for even his own style.

I'll write some songs, and see what he thinks. Either he'll love it(I'm a good guitar player[I feel like an a-hole again when I say that], he thinks I'm amazing), or he'll just completely disregard it because its too hard or technical.

Hehe, I don't doubt that you're a good player, it wasn't a stab at you.. It just reminds me of myself a few years back, me and another guitarist thought the exact same thing about each other when we played together.. And hey! Now we're in a band, and both respect each other immensively.. (he's the sickest down picker I've ever seen.. He plays blackened at about 40 bpm faster than the actual song? All down picked, ouch.. And the fact that I can alt. pick, impresses him.. Hehe..)

Nah man, no offence taken! I thought you were pretty much right in a way. That reminds me, Blackened is a a friken awesome song. I haven't listened to the Justice album in ages, and its my favorite.

For the most part, I'm just complaining that he couldn't write an "ok" song if his life depended on it. And while I know that I can take over vocal, lyrics, and guitar writing completely, I'm pretty sure he won't want me to do it. And the second I write something good, it will be me playing the whole song, because he wont be able to play it. He better get practicing.

This also really blows, because I <3(heh, why not?) guitar harmonies.

Does anyone have a Danny Carey drum solo for me? I want one with video, if anyone has one. Thanks

I have 1:50 audio one...

yah, I've got that one, but is it Video? mine isn't video...

I believe I said audio.

No video, but on the Volto! Myspace there is a sick solo.

[QUOTE=Darkness Of Greed]I believe I said audio.[/QUOTE]

My God, Am I blind? Sorry.

Aren't you like 14 year olds or something? (I'm sorry if I'm way off on this, haha, it's never good to get someones age wrong).. If you are, you got plenty of time to work with him.. Give the guy 6 months to improve or something.. Write some not too tricky, but still harder than he can play, lines.. And try to make him improve!.. It's way easier to get better when you're in a band

[QUOTE=Prince of Darkness]My God, Am I blind? Sorry.

I don't remember which song it is, just listen I guess.

[QUOTE= DUDE3]his song structures are all the same[/QUOTE]...thats why you should jam with me....

Or me!..
My songs just don't have any structure.. hehe

[QUOTE]Or me!..

I'll join you faith... my buzzing baratone rocks for a singing!

Move to Denmark and we have a deal

Yep, I'm 14. I'll try working with him. Hopefully he'll improve, as well as me. If not, we can always still jam. I should meet the right musicians down the road. Actually, I do have a person in mind. His name is Lucky, and he's pretty much the best guitarist I've met. He sucks at solos for the most part, but his riffage is just..... :amaze:
I really need to start a band with him. He has his own recording studio(somehow, he got $10,000 worth of equipment for free), and he has connections.....with James Murphy(omgz, I no, right?!!). He already has his own band, but we're planning on doing a lot of covers of Death and this band called Foreign Objects(I did a write up, I'll find it). That should be fun.

Faith, where in Florida do you live? I forgot.

EDIT: Here's that write up-

[url]http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=359030&highlight=Foreign+objects[/url]

Seriously, check this band out. I personally love them.

That sounds great.. Good luck with that!
I'm hoping to meet a better band down the line too, some day.. But as for now, I won't complain, I'm in a band, with a bunch of great guys, and they're all dedicated, and we work great together.. Who cares if we don't play the kind of music I write when I'm alone, when I'm having a great time eh? hehe

Oh yeah. I live relatively close, in Brandon(Home of Cannibal Corpse if I'm right. I find that cool for some reason.)

i think i may have a clue about what lateralus is about.
I think it could be about someone opening their eyes and having piece of mind. And is able to view the world, now with a clearer vision of where we're going in this Messed up World.
Thats my 2 cents on the lateralus album as a whole.

My band has no problem with musician talent, it's just that we've been going nowhere fast for the last year or so. Ironic, no?

I'm seeing VOLTO! on the 28th. Woohoo!

The "WP Excerpt Live" clip on there Myspace is amazing.

you can go to songfacts.com and click t then tool and get songmeanings,quotes from manyard about some songs and facts

Don't you hate it when you write a riff, and then you notice its already a song?

I just wrote the first electric riff for Opeth's "The Funeral Portrait". I've also done this for the main riff in "Sunshine of your Love". I should be rich.

Yeah so, if that whole "release date" thing was real, the new Tool cd would have been in stores next Monday. I just thought I'd say that.

It's almost Tool day!

I remember rumors about Tool releasing the new album in early 2005. Haha

I don't expect it until this time next year.

Maybe a little earlier, like March - June.

Man, fu[B][I][/I][/B]ck Tool. I'm leaving.

Bye.

Comon'. We waited for Lateralus for even longer. Just wait. :thumb:
