[QUOTE=Iai]The hilarious thing is, if the album was actually released like that, it'd have been dismissed for being totally top-heavy. Wait, that'd make it 10,000 Days![/QUOTE]

Piss off man. If you don't like the album there is no reason for you to come in here and bitch out about it. You don't think tool is good, great that's you opinion so keep it to yourself.

If everyone kept their opinions to themselves, this [I][B]discussion forum[/B][/I] would've died a long time ago. Next time, think before you post.

[QUOTE=Annoyance]I don't know who I am sick of more, Tool or The Arctic Monkeys.[/QUOTE]

some one should make a poll.

Done :)

Thank You :)

[QUOTE=Kurrpt]i see it more as a coincidence, and really couldnt stand the "synched" track...[/quote]

I agree. I'd much rather listen to the album as it was intended to be listened to.

[quote]as far as people detesting the band, based on their fans, thats really one of the stupidest arguements i've ever heard. Thats like saying you don't like Wal-Mart due to the minorities present when you walk through the door :lol:[/QUOTE]

I agree again. Although it's more like saying you don't like the products that Wal-Mart sells because of the minorities present when you walk through the door, no? Either way, I understand what you're saying.

That analogy sucks. It's more like: I hate Wal-Mart because of their commercials. Fans of a band are word-of-mouth advertising, and they form a lot of people's opinions on the band before they've even listened to it, for better or worse.

lol, flaming lips zaireeka

If everyone that listens to Band X is a ****ing idiot, wouldn't you assume that the band isn't all that great? Yeah. Except I like to take it to the next level and call them names.

I promise to like every single maligned band in the world just so they can say they have one fan that isn't a total dumbass. I already like Tool and System Of A Down so that's a good start. Wish me luck trying to digest all eight ICP albums :(

I think I liked my way better. :p

You're an idiot for even joking like that.

YDload, I hate you. We're no longer partners.

You're gonna need it.

Oh god.
I'll organise a funeral.

Suicide Hotline is funny. Juggalos are my favourite kind of fans. So devoted.

not musical history man sorry to burst your bubble, i didn't read through the entire thread so i don't know if it was mentioned but the flaming lips did this with their album "zaireeka". I will say though, that it is definately a cool thing to put on an album :D

yes! tool is an exceptional band...but for how much longer can we all put up with having to wait so long to hear them?! i for one am sick of it! i dont even care if there music is good anymore...they are a great band but their fascination with being mysterious has led to their downfall in my opinion

If MJK stops playing with APC, I think they'll release albums quicker

^ I'm not to sure about that. The time between Aenima and Lateralus was 5 years, aswell as the time between Lateralus and 10,000 Days. He had only started to play with APC after Lateralus was released so I don't think it made that much of a difference.

Actually, Mer De Noms (APCs debut) came out in May 2000, a year before Lateralus (May 2001). As far as I've read, the reason APC started was because MJK got bored while Tool was having some kind of legal problem. Anyone care to correct me on this?

[QUOTE=Zappa]Can anyone give me a meaningful reason for doing something like that with a piece of music?[/QUOTE]

To make a bunch of people who don't know vey much think you're a genius.

According to [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Perfect_Circle"]this here Wikipedia article[/URL], Billy Howerdel formed the band and [I]then[/I] Maynard joined, even though Howerdel wanted a female singer.

But I do think that MJK's joining was inspired by legal issues, as you stated.

[CENTER]***[/CENTER]

This is a really interesting thread, and definitely the reaon why I joined this forum. I do enjoy Tool, but I guess I enjoy A Perfect Circle more. The synching is very interesting, but as a zillion and a half other people have pointed out, Tool is hardly the first to do so.

I don't understand really why people get so bent out of shape about their musical preferences. People need to chilllll.

I dont know if anyone has posted links to the song yet but if not

[url]http://www.theslackerslounge.com/tool_threesome.mp3[/url]

I downloaded the first link and it sounded pretty spot on but the second is meant to be better or something.

I remember hearing in an interview that APC started because Josh Freese was working on the new GnR album (in essence, he was doing nothing) while Howerdel was working as an engineer on the same album. Since they had loads of time, they ended up starting APC.

and just to echo the "wtf," sentiments through the thread, if you think Tool is spectacular for doing this, listen to some fu[size=2]ckin Neurosis or Tribes of [/size]Neurot (or the bunch of other bands who have done this). They have full albums that sync.

I am dissapointed in a major chunk of you on these forums. When will you learn to appreciate and respect music on a whole? Not only to you disrespect your fellow musicans, but you disrespect the fans of musicans solely because of their liking a certain band. Shame. They can like who ever they like, be it Tool in this case. Just because you don't like Tool doesn't mean you should disrepect them or those that do, grow up. Show some maturity in your posts, if you don't like Tool, or what they are doing, why even bother posting to say so? Do you get some sort of kick from ganging together on fans of a band and saying that in your own opinion that they suck? I really have lost all respect for you.

Saying that, I have myself done the mixing with the tracks and the inter-weaving melody lines are quite interesting. to write effectively a song which then splits into three songs is quite the feat. To have it fit together on such a level is quite amazing, although some small editing is needed, as the silence between tracks puts it off a tiny bit. Although some other band may have done something similar, it still is pretty damn good I say, sure the thread starter was a little over enthusiastic with his claims, he just found something amazing and wanted to share it with all of you and you bad mouthed him etc. That wasn't discussion, it was bullying. Shameful, immature acts that you will hopefully grow out of if you hope to make it anywhere in the world.

If you don't like Tool then keep your opinion to yourself or go else where and voice it, here is not the place. Learn to respect that music is music, have some respect for those out there creating it. I truly hope you do grow up and learn some respect, learn to respect things that you don't fully like. How can you even judge something if you don't go out there yourself create something you think is better. Music is all one big thing but you cannot compare music to itself, music is unique and the one thing that every culture on this planet partake in and do not discriminate towards.

If you like Tool then keep it to yourself or go elsewhere to voice it, here is not the place.

Oh wait, I forgot we don't have a Rock & Metal forum. Silly me.

I liked his post until the third paragraph :\

I don't really care if people thinks Tool sucks, I can definitely see why they would think that. The annoying posts are those who assume anyone who likes Tool is automatically a fanboy and lumps the person into a group of idiots. That's what gets to me :|

Maynard.
