REV 22:20 was an interesting song. Very low key from what I remember...

Would anyone else just totally kill to have Maynard do vocals/guest vocals on an album of yours? Oh man that would be orgasmic :thumb:

It kicked in great at the end section, when MJK sings the 'what is she waiting for..' line.

I would be offering my first born in an effort to get him to peform with me on any level on a iece of music, though I would feel bad about being well below the usual quality he works with. I think Billy would be a more realistic ambition

It's been a while since I've heard the song, so :thumb:

I don't know, something about Billy strikes me as meh. Like I wouldn't want to work with him for some reason.

I'd make a sacrifice to work with anyone from Tool, really.

myself, as well as thousands of tool fans are asking these questions. Whats going on in the world of tool? when will the new album hit stores?? When will there be another tour??? I've heard rumor after rumor so I'm still a bit blah about the whole thing. If anyone has any true info let us know!!! The world sucks w/o Tool.

yeah i agree ive been waiting for a new ablum since lateralus was released does anyone have any idea on the date for tools new album. The owner of a drum shop i go to knows danny carey (near careys hometown) and the way he talks the new album will be much harder than the previous aenima and lateralus...does anyone else know how it will be?

Yeah, it will be harder than Lateralus, the band said so... with influences like Meshuggah from their tour with them, maybe you can expect some major heaviness, either way, I have no doubt Tool will blow me away with the next release.

I just read in a forum that Tool was releasing a new cd 2005, has Tool got a new singer, or is Maynard still with Tool?

[QUOTE=ThrashHead]I just read in a forum that Tool was releasing a new cd 2005, has Tool got a new singer, or is Maynard still with Tool?[/QUOTE]

Maynard is the brains behind Tool, IMO. As talented as the other members are, I think if one member left they would fall apart.

So I highly doubt it.

yeah i agree and yes maynard is still with tool. the perfect circle tour is over so he is back working with tool again

out of all of the tool songs what is your guys's absolute favorite song...mine would have to be the salival version of pu****..PURE BRILLANCE the aenima version is very good also.

I like forty-six and two

And thanks Iron Man and Druumer89.

[QUOTE=Druumer89]out of all of the tool songs what is your guys's absolute favorite song...mine would have to be the salival version of pu****..PURE BRILLANCE the aenima version is very good also.[/QUOTE]

It's always hard picking out your favorite band, I haven't heard one Tool song I dislike so it's difficult for me. I'd roughly have to say Lateralus. I also love Disposition/Reflection/Triad... and for earlier albums... Stinkfist and Third Eye off Aenima, Bottom and Intolerance for Undertow, and for Opiate... Hush and Opiate. See.. it's not easy for me, I had to do album by album picks... :upset:

its always difficult picking a favorite tool song..they are all so good imo

are any of you not musicains..because i am a drummer and i like tool alot. I got into tool because my drum teacher liked them and they grew on me because of danny careys influence, and i think it would be the same for anyone else with another insturment because i think everyone in the band is influential. I was wondering if any of you dont play insturments and can still appriciate tool just for the music and not for any of the great musical talent or for influence in any kind of way.

Man, my favorite Tool songs would have to be stinkfist, forty six & 2, hooker with a *****, lateralus, and parabol/parabola.

yeah i forgot about parabol/parabola some of the best music ive ever heard

Check out the video for Parabol/a.... very cool and intriguing.

is it ever on tv or anything or would you have to buy it somehow

[QUOTE=Druumer89]is it ever on tv or anything or would you have to buy it somehow[/QUOTE]

I doubt it would be on MTV or anything.. though they do show Sober and I think Schism sometimes. But I doubt Parabola... you could download it off a p2p file sharing program like Soulseek or Kazaa but if you can't then I don't know where else..

ok thanks what other videos do they have out?

me=non-musician,and my favorite song is probably Pu**** live.

[QUOTE=Druumer89]ok thanks what other videos do they have out?[/QUOTE]

From Lateralus they're is just Schism and Parabol/a, and the Salival DVD has the rest: Stinkfist, Prison Sex, Sober, and Aenima.

Just go to [url="http://www.toolband.com"]Tool's website[/url]. Specifically, the article on the main page that says "what the hell was in those jellybeans"? Forgetting rumours and everything else, that's the only real news that's come out lately.

And the bottom line of that article, is that Tool are still working on their album, and it would still appear that they are planning to release it sometime in 2005. Danny said in another article about 6 months back that they'd release it shortly after Christmas, so it wouldn't get lost in the Christmas rush, but since they're still working on songs, I'm guessing it'll be a while yet. Hopefully no later than March though.

not to be a negative nancy, and i have nothing against you, because i have no i dea who you are, and i understand you are reltivly new to the forums, and i dont hold that against you, but youre the best recent example i cound find, but...

does anyone care what your (not just you 'TheShaneOMac') favorite songs are? im sure someones going to agree somewhere, and dissagree somewhere else, and then you'll get into some kind of 'technincal' BS conversation about the 'technical aspects' of a song, when in the first place, it wasnt the other persons place to judge an unnecessary list

my, my, you people confuse me, i could set my watch, or rather calender, by you and your 'favorites'

[url]www.toolband.com[/url] At the bands website on the main page, when the brain loads up, put your mouse pointer in the center of the two halves, at the very top, and a picture of the Horus eye with a tear will show up. Click and it takes you to the whole Lachrymology practice of Tool in detail. I'm not sure if everybody knows this, but I just wanted to share it anyway.

I spent a good amount of time searching for all the hidden parts on Tool's web site once I found one of the first hidden links, and even now im still not convinced i've found them all

hey can anybody here get into toolshed?, for me its been down for a long while so maybe its my comp or its being updated due to the new album..

Med, you should check out Tool's video's, Parabol/a and Schism are the two from Lateralus. Very interesting stuff; Also if you don't have Ænima I highly recommend buying that album too, it's a little more rough around the edges than Lateralus in places, but it's still amazingly good.

Hell, get their older stuff too.

[QUOTE=Adam Jones is GOD]I spent a good amount of time searching for all the hidden parts on Tool's web site once I found one of the first hidden links, and even now im still not convinced i've found them all[/QUOTE]

Is there anywhere that we could find a list of all the Hidden stuff there? If someone could make a list or post a link that would be cool.

And I haven't been able to get to Toolshed lately either, but I figure it's just my computer because hotmail isn't working to :upset:

[QUOTE=Medopalis]It works for me...:)

Anyway, I got Lateralus for Christmas, and I just thought I'd let everyone know that I've been absolutely blown away by it. I'm sure that's not going to come as a surprise to all the huge Tool fans in here, but I thought it could be a bit overhyped, and the fact that it's so long meant that it might drag a little, but, of course, it isn't. My favourite song (s) of it is probably Parabol/Parabola, especially with the change in tone midway through, which is absolutely incredible. Listening to it late at night for the first time though, and especially listening to Faaip De Oiad, might not have been the best idea. Is that song actually genuine, or was it recorded for the album? Anyway...great album, great band, and thanks for getting me into them.[/QUOTE]

*Sniff* Jonny is one of us beautiful people now

Quick run through all what you asked about.

Faaip De Oiad has a wonderful story behind it. (I posted it before, but tis great telling it). A radio station in America recieveda call from an apparent former Area 51 employee, and that is who you hear on the track. He managed to sound very convincing even though he later phoned and stated that it was all a wind up.
However, the interesting part is the moment the trak ends is the same time the radio station, and dozens of others in that part of America went off the air with no explanation why....
As for the music over the top of the speech, this was Danny and co messing about with drum loops and their synth effects.

Video links, I did have a good link a while ago, let me see if i can find it... but MTV2 has recently started showing Tool's Aenima era videos quite a bit on Rated R, (as well as the Bikini Bandits with MJK as the devil...AVOID THAT MOVIE AT ALL COSTS)

Aenima is a very worthy purchase, you will love it from a drummers perspective and the songs in general are amazing. But it is more filler than Lateralus. undertow is let down by poor production, but is still awesome, and Opiate is raw and short, but a must have for fans.

Now hurry up and learn some Danny beats and get back to me soon :lol:

(I could actually do with the drum backing for the Patient at some part, any one know a good backing track site?)

when did you change ur avatar? the patient is prolly my favorite track to date if i had to pick (i dont like doing it)

does anyone know of a better place to get salival on dvd rather than ebay. I waited too long :-(

[QUOTE=kurrptsenate]when did you change ur avatar? the patient is prolly my favorite track to date if i had to pick (i dont like doing it)[/QUOTE]

Changed from what? the christmas mage, or one before that?

Its not fair to pick best songs, like i say, different songs for different mood.


(and dammit jonny, why couldnt you have one rep point extra to give out? 1336 is taking-the-piss close to a cool number :p )

And the only other place you could get Salival from other than ebay is Neverland. Trust me

yea that mage you had (FF i think) Yea i dont like to pick, love playin the licks on guitar thats for sure.

Got rid of him since its after christmas now. Ill replace it with my profile one if demand is high enough

dude i try to get my drummer to play danny, he makes excuses all the time

Woah AJIG has stars..congrats...

IMO aenima is better than Lateralus, so your gonna have fun there med! I got some new headphones for christmas, and there is loadsa weird stuff about on Aenima. Such as the breathing in the title track, It doesn't come through too well on my comp speakers. Gives the album a cool feel. I have a new favourite line...In push!t 'remember i will always love you, as i throw your fcking throat away' how maynard pushes that line out is amazing.

IT's quite funny i have listened to Aenima over 40 times and i'm still finding little bits i love. The 'Real fcuking high' bit in Third eye still makes me laugh :lol:

isn't it claw your fvcking throat away? It might just be the live thats like that >_>

It's only what i hear...maynard (on the aenima verison) actually says...

[I]'Just remember I will always love you,
Even as I tear your fcuking throat away.'[/I]

according to toolshed

EDIT:

just checked salival version...

[I]'Remember I will always love you,
As I claw your fcuking throat away.'[/I]

Just as a report by the way guys, I have now nailed the Aenima intro, thanks to your help, although in my true style, I have improv'd parts to my own style, so its not the true tool version on. (mainly the muted part after the intro).

I think ill wait for a week, then you can challenge me to learning another. Hopefully by then I will be able to record audio (anyone know some good software btw?) and you can crit all you want.
