I keep hearing about how good Maynards voice is. Can you guys reccomend me some songs so I can hear his best?

check out his scream on ticks and leeches(lateralus), his softer voice on H(aenima), and how he uses a megaphone on eulogy(my favorite, aenima). but all there songs are good, he doesn't suck on any of them.

3 Libras. It doesn't get much better than that.

[QUOTE=jamesclelland]If you give me your email i will quit being lazy and take it off the cd and send it to you.

Do you have any rare covers or something interesting, i need a new song to learn.[/QUOTE]

robertchapman88 @ gmail.com cheers...

maynards best is defniateley Pu**** (salival verison)

Other good mentions include...
-Parabola
-No quarter
-The Grudge
-You Lied
-Eulogy

try some APC as well

you lied is a really great song, im like in love with that song right now... its great.
im actually trying to write a song similar to that one. actually, just similar to the verse singing because i really like how the vocals are really slow and it has a ton of reverb it sonds like. i dont know i just love it.

but anyway, check out that song, and H., aenima, lateralus, bottom. that should get you started a little bit :)

I wanna hear this cover! Interesting intereview with that guy from Opeth. ya the interviewer did say ya'll too much.

No Quarter is a good cover.

[QUOTE=metally_mental]A guy way back there said that 'Stinkfist' is about anal fisting.

How wrong you are. I read something about Stinkfist somewhere, and it is now what I believe the song is about.

What i believe, is that Stinkfist is about the desensitisation of the human race. For example, back in the 1970's it was shocking to put certain things on television, like nudity, drugs etc. Nowadays, people dont 'want more', they 'need more' to be stimulated. It's ok to show that stuff now as we are used to it. We, the human race are becoming desensitised. "Knuckle/Fist/Shoulder deep within the borderline". This is saying that we need more and more to stimulate us, and each time we want to get it as close to the borderline (past that being too far) as we can without going over it. Another example would be taking as much heroin as you can to get as stimulated as you can without overdosing.[/QUOTE]

Lol, Stinkfist is about the media censorship.

[QUOTE=appreciate_it]hey im not a huge Tool fan, and i just heard "Grudge"
What do you think about this song, and what album is it on?
Thanks.[/QUOTE]

The grudge is a awesome song. Its on the album "lateralus". It has a one of the best screams by maynard on the cd. I love playing the bass riff in the opening of the song. The drums are so insane, you need like a special set up with bongos and toms.

The beauty of many of Tool's songs is that people can take their own meanings from them. It's ok for you to post your interpretation of a song, but don't be ignorant whilst doing it.

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]I keep hearing about how good Maynards voice is. Can you guys reccomend me some songs so I can hear his best?[/QUOTE]

For tool-Tickz and leeches,Aenima, Pu****,

For Apc-3 Libras, The nurse who loved me, Blue, Judith

This is something I've been meaning to ask for a while. In Ticks & Leeches, at about 3:40 to 5:50, Maynard can be heard screaming in the right channel of my headphones. It's at really low volume and pretty difficult to notice on normal speakers. I've been trying to figure out exactly what he's saying but I'm finding it pretty hard. I think it goes along the lines of

[I]Ahh!
Suck!
Me dry!
Suck!
Suck me dry!
Suck!
Me dry!
Suck!
Suck me dry[/I]

Can anyone confirm this for me? Thanks.

He says others things along with that...you can't really tell, he's singing pretty softly, but I'm sure if you look on the official website or something, you'd be able to find it. Enjoy the song, though!

[QUOTE=Remedy]Lol, Stinkfist is about the media censorship.[/QUOTE]

Really? Hush is about censorship as well...though Tool's songs can be interpreted many different ways.

Most of the time I've been on MX for the last 3 days I've been searching most the Tool related pages I could find on Metacrawler. So far I've found nothing, which is why I asked. And the lyrics I posted appear after it, it just that they seem pretty similiar.

there are so many songs where he is whispering/screaming in the background, half the time I dont think they are supposed to be figured out, as some are inaudible. Although my favourite has to be the cough on 'A Stranger' (APC I know, but its a general MJK trick). I know there was a story behind it that made me laugh at the time, but i forget the symbolic-ness of it now

if we were supposed to know, he'd add it to the lyrics on there websites. There is no rule saying you cant figure them out though. To a lot of people that is the beauty of tool and you can sometimes get a new understanding by those barely audible sounds/words.

I downloaded a torrent of 'rare tool trax - narcossis'.

It has some songs i already have on it such as...Muhammed my friend, passenger, revolution and know your enemy.

track list...

1. Santa Monica and Orange (Live)
2. Spasm (Peach cover) (Live)
3. Silly Little Love Songs (paul mcCartney cover) (?)
4. Demon Cleaner (Kyuss cover) (Live)
5. Muhammed my friend (w/Tori Amos) (Live)
6. Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd cover) (Live)
7. Wrong Way (Sublime cover) (Live)
8. Passenger (Deftones w/Maynard) (Album track)
9. Know Your Enemy (RATM w/Maynard) (Album track)
10. cold and ugly (4 track demo)
11. hush (4 track demo)
12. part of me (4 track demo)
13. crawl away (4 track demo)
14. sober (4 track demo)
15. jerk off (4 track demo)
16. No quarter (Led Zep cover)

What do you know about some of these? The confortably numb cover is the same one i had before, and i'm very suspicious wether that is tool or maynard singing. HWat are these 4 track demos? I am able to mail you a few of these sons if you would like. Or you can get the whole torrent from [url]www.lokitorrent.com[/url] search rare tool...

4 track demos I think are the original group of songs that Tool first put together and sent off to radio, etc, since it is just Opiate - 2 tracks. (although sober is odd being on there)

I've heard pretty much all of the covers on there, though i dont think Tool covered Spasm, as its a 2 guitarist song im pretty sure it was APC, as it sounded more like them from the audio I have (plus its not as good as the original IMO). And I still have my doubts about that comfortably numb one, I mean, it would have had a lot more coverage and attention if they really did do it

i would like:
Spasm (Peach cover) (Live)
Wrong Way (Sublime cover) (Live)
the site didn't work when i hit the link, so i you could please send just the two to [email]adamjones_god@yahoo.com[/email]

Clearvision, I'd like to hear spasm if it's a real Tool cover, and I'd also like to hear Santa Monica and Orange. Thanks if you can send them my way.

I got a chevelle album the other day, pretty good stuff. Not really relevant, some people think they are like tool but i think their more pop-ish/emo-ish. I got this type of thinking... its pretty cool yeah :thumb:

There was a review in my guitar magazine saying Chevelle was Tool without the arty pretensions. I burned the page.

I actually have Tool's cover of "Comfortably Numb" i found it on Bearshare. If you want it you could AIM me at uglyCasanovabob

[QUOTE=Otherside]There was a review in my guitar magazine saying Chevelle was Tool without the arty pretensions. I burned the page.[/QUOTE]

i dont really like anyone comparing themselves to TOoL, so good job, i hate chevelle

Yah no band can really match Tool's sound, exdept maybe ones that have some of the members of Tool in it.


Anyways, I recently found out about Evanescence doing a cover on Orestes... anyone heard it? Because I don't think I want to...

[QUOTE=kurrptsenate]i dont really like anyone comparing themselves to TOoL, so good job, i hate chevelle[/QUOTE]
i kind of like them... but thats just me :upset:
but yeah ive read some where that they are "majorly influenced" by APC and tool

but i dont really see it

has anyone heard the "terrible lie" cover that they did?
because i havent heard anyone talk about it.
its pretty awesome... its like an acoustic version.
and i really really dont think its a fake because it sounds jsut like maynard, and i dont hear alot of singers that sound like him.

but yeah its awesome

i swear, if evanescence do that, and release it, i will either hang myself, or evanescence..................second option sounds good whatever the scenario, i class evanescence in the same bracket as linkin park and good charlotte, ****ty little teeny bopper music that makes 12 year olds feel hardcore

APC songs are not meant to be covered by anyone.

Tht reminds me, I found an old copy of kerrang the other day (for the US, its basically a magazine that has shown how someone can sell out overtime and turn into a money making suck up magazine). It had their first review of 13th step in it. it got 3 Ks due to it not being diverse enough, and had too few strong points.


Just as an equivilanent, the othe rcopy I found was one reviewing St.Anger, which got 4 Ks for being 'so heavy'.


If anyone can send me Comfortably numb (I know a few have offered now), send to modest_moogle @gmail.com. Im going to have to start keepig people's addresses from in here in future, as we do a lot of sending files nowardays

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Any one seen any news (besides on their site) on the new album?

Does anybody else find Ticks & Leeches to be one of Tools most meaningful songs? If not the most significant? If you look at there entire list of albums the music follows a pattern and the main focus of Lateralus seems to be what comes after the pure anger that came off earlier realeses...a healing album if you will. Thats why I think Ticks & Leeches is the most significant song on the album. If you look at the lyrics there very short, direct and to the point, and the entire feel of the song has a very strong hatred, retaliation type vibe to it. So if you look at the big picture, its placement on the cd indicates that somewhere along the line of change we tend to revert back to our old self, which in this case is a pissed off individual tired with the overall stupidity and simplicity of people. Lateralus as a whole is a very well thought out and more mellow approach to Tool's music, but anger and hate are primitive emotions that tend to lead to very simplistic brutality just like the song. Luckily (In my opinion) the next song (also having a huge significance being the album title) Lateralus seems like the person is trying to go back to a higher level of thought and life rather than the typical lifestyle choosen by way too many people today. Anyways thats my take on it but for all I know he was constipated when he wrote it so dont take my word for it!

well if thats what you get out of it, thats fine. I think the lyrics are too repetitive to have any really, deep feelings to it. To say its the most significant song the album, and try to pretend its valid, i think is a bit foolish.

repetitive lyrics aren't always bad. in tools case, it's there way of getting there point across strongly. imo.

To tell me how i feel is foolish :D , but you have to admit its the only song out of place which makes it stand out more than the others, its far from being my favorite song (The Patient takes the cake) but id like to know which one you think stands out most.

God to see some song opinions up again, reminds me of the glory days of this thread.

Oh, and apparently, we suck guys

Gotta love that 'fan boy' term

46&2 from a netural (non drummer) perspective is my personal favourite Danny moment. Thats about as far as I can go though, I just think it sound smore impressive than his other stuff.

/reminds me to really, REALLY start understanding the art of drumming more
