ok... soooo its not true????

[QUOTE=deadohiosky9]I take back my statement "christians are hypocrits". Because not all christians are hypocrits. Most of the ones I've run into are hypocrits. But not all are. And we shouldn't make that assumption from it. We shouldn't label all Christian as automatic hypocrits, just because of a few people who are hypocrits. I apologize for what I said. And I hope this further clarifies it.[/QUOTE]

thanks. if there were only more MX'ers like you. :thumb:

Thanks. lol. Tool's flutist is gay. not the organ player. hahah.

honestly real seruios tool fans scare me

maybe thats why you still suck

Don't worry about that. I watch these threads. If these guys want to post silly stuff like this I consider it spam and a means for them to increase thier post count which is against the rules and will ban them. Think real hard before you post up goofy stuff.

hahaha dude, I was agreeing with YOU!

I bought Lateralus a while ago, and I was simply amazed with it. I haven't popped it in the Cd player in a while, but the first listen always astounds me. Brilliance.

Keep in mind that necropheliac means someone who has sex with dead people and that it is illegal. Do you really think the lead singer for a huge band would want to do that or could get away with it? I think not. Necrophelia exists mainly in the south where people can steal corpses go out in the woods and have an orgy.

Im hoping you meant to put arent instead of are ^^

Ive heard that the female character in the Schism video is played by Adam Jones' wife, can anyone confirm this?

[QUOTE=christonastick]Ive heard that the female character in the Schism video is played by Adam Jones' wife, can anyone confirm this?[/QUOTE]

I had heard that as well. I actually think she is the person that toured with them last time they toured. Remember the couple who were all blue that walked around on thier feet and hands on stage? Im about 99% positive it is the people they had on tour. They walked the same way on the stage as they are in the video.

lmao

I'm gonna try to interpret one of my favorite Tool songs, Pu****.

Song: Pu****
Album: Aenema

Alright Pu**** is a long song clokcing in at about 9:57. I also think this is one of Tool's most emotiona songs. The song starts out with lines that will later be repeated in the song, as an intro. "saw the gap again today, but you were begging me to stay, take care not to make me enter, if I do we both may disappear". I think this is Maynard leaving someone, and that person was begging him to stay, but he knows that if he does, then something bad will happen. "take care not to make me enter, if I do we both may disappear."

Then it goes to "I will choke until I swallow/ Choke this infant here before me. What is this but my reflection? Who am I to judge or strike you down?" This is him regretting what hes doing "what is this but my refelction, who am I to judge or strike you down?" Then he says "But you're pushing and shoving me", wheich means, even though I don't wanna do this, I have to. You keep making me. This song is aimed at one person, a person thats either done something wrong, possibly forcing something on Maynard. "I'm slipping back into the gap again/ I'm alive when your touching me, but not when you're shoving me down". Which means this person is special to him, but when they act a certain way, he doesn't like it. "I'd trade it all just for a little peace of mind". Hes leaving for some peace of mind. Its not worth what he has to put up with. The ending is the most emotional. And my favorite lines. "There's no love in fear. Staring down the hole again. Hands upon my back again. Survival is my only friend. Terrified of what may come. Just remember I will always love you, even as I tear your ****ing throat away. But it will end no other way." It seems like he once loved this person, but not any more, and if he stays, he just might die. And this hole, I think it represents his downfall. If he stayed with this person, he would've gone down that hole. And now hes questioning if he should do this, "staring down the hole again". Then the last two lines. "Remember I will always love you. Even as I tear your ****ing throat away." I think this is murder. He ends up killing this person. A love that was once there. But now is gone. Because that person was "pushing and shoving" him. I hope I did a good job.I might be way off. But this is what I thought. Thanks.

Hey guys, I've been on hols and im not impressed with the state of this thread :upset:

Anyways to get to my point I downloaded Stainds version of Sober. I'm actually quite impressed. Many people would do a direct cover of the song and the vocalist try and imitate Maynards pronounciations and so forth.
However this version is slower than tool's. The cymbal (I'm no drummer but I think its the high hat) is very lose and is preminant (sp?) I think some of the fills are different too.
Aarons voice is it's usual self, he changes the dynamics just before he sings 'Jesus won't you fukin whistle' his voice goes from quiet to a real powerful voice that staind fans will recognise . He uses a flattened vibrato technique when he sings whistle which is really cool and is used throughout the song.
Staind use an acoustic guitar which is refreshingly different from tools version, it is loud and powerful, but also soft at the same time.
The version i have is live, The quality of the music and vocals is immense, I'm quite impressed how aaron maintained his voice.

All in all i think staind did well and i give it 9/10, however, being a staind fan i am slightly biased so take from the review what you will :)

Does anyone know any facts about Tool's upcoming album? (They are working on one). Also, the rumors about live DVDs?

heyhey...does anyone know about the guy who wrote down all his interpretations of what maynard meant with his lyrics?? you can download it from [url]www.vanillacircus.net[/url]
i was really interested...but my computer won't let me download it...has anyone read it?? any opinions on it?? and do any of you have it in some sort of form which you could send to me?? thanks...:)

[QUOTE=Happymeal]True, some or most are nowadays. But don't just go stereotyping all Christians and come up with the conclusion that we make God as an excuse for ****ing up.

Anyways, I first heard Tool in a record store somewhere two years ago, and immediately liked Parabola, then I bought Lateralus(which I think is their best, in almost all aspects, and foul language from their older stuff isn't really my thing) . My favorite song is..The Patient. For me its literal meaning tells you to, well, be patient, because something is bound to happen and I think the song says something about hardships and change too("no loving embrace to see me through..I'm gonna wait it out").[/QUOTE]

perhaps this was stupid of me...but i took the patient to be sort of...i can't really explain it...mocking people of blind faith...i could be wrong...in fact i probably am...but...am i?? :confused:

That book looks genius, thanks man :thumb: I will download tomorrow and tell y'all what i think :)

"For supposed Tool fans, you guys are pretty quick to judge, almost making you hypocrits... "

I dont think 17 years of experience with christians is a quick judgement, I went to christian summer camps and things, it sucked, people are obsessed, they told me grandma died, because she was bad in a bad life, if I didnt read the bible, im going to die and go to hell also the christians I know are bigger sinners then me, Im not saying all christians are like this, just religious people I usually come across.

I agree with thepanicinneedlepark. as for that book, I tried to download it. but it didn't work for me either.

I've heard Shinedown sounds a lot like Tool. Any thoughts? I think bascially other than the chorus of their single, 45, they suck.

exactly
its the same deal with me. my opinions based on years of hanging out with christians, and ive decided i dont like most of them because most of them are so full of their beliefs. they wont leave you the hell alone. whatever.

guess who managed to get hold of the book...me :D...basically its not set out as it should be but i think me not being able to get it was something to do with me having windows 98...but if anyone can't download it and wants to read it post your email addresses and it'll be winging it's way straight to you :thumb:
