Some of Robert Bruce's work. I've learned tons from that site. It's a good place to start.

Also, is it just me, or does Maynard sound like the singer from Incubus in the song Eulogy?[/QUOTE]

He sounds more like Maynard. :p Actually, I really have no clue how you hear that similarity. Oh, how I hate Brandon Boyd.

Boyd's voice is the voice of 1000 headaches.

Maynard's is eargasmic.

I really like Incubus, and there vocalist. :confused:

On the records his voice is fine. I really love Make Yourself and SCIENCE...

But live, I was forced to take large amounts of tylenol to tolerate his voice.

I love Brandon Boyd's voice. It think what you guys dislike is the vocal harmonies. He's a really **** good singer, better than Maynard in my opinion, just not as cool sounding.

ATTN: I now have the coolest name for my band!!! Lucid Dreams.

How about Moses and His Delusional Band of Lucid Dreamers? :D

:upset:

Don't frown, that was a great idea.

Think he bought it?[/SIZE]

edit:

Just a random memory. I recall someone tellingme one time that Adam hates it when Tool is called metal. Is there proof of this somewhere?

No I think what I don't like about Brandon Boyd's voice is the whiny quality it has, and how he's sharp and flat all over and can't match the quality of Incubus' records.

I've seen him say something akin to that, but that's not entirely accurate. Hold on, let me see if I can dig up the quote I have. It was more like, he thought it was lame that people saw them exclusvely as a metal band or something like that, not that he hated being called metal.


EDIT: Here it is...
"When we did [i]Opiate[/I], we picked our heaviest songs. People went, 'Oh, you're a metal band,' and I thought that was kind of lame. We try to branch off into different directions. We try to touch base with all our influences."

Whether that's what someone was referring to or not, it doesn't imply that Jones hates being called metal, only that he thinks the band is more than that.

Oh okay. That sounds more like something one of the member's would say.

I never really thought of Tool as metal. The one category I define them as are Progressive/Ambient/Modern Rock. Too hard to fully classify.

20,000 posts just gone and nobody marked the occasion!?!

I just missed it :(

Classifying Tool is more trouble than it's worth. Just go with "good music".

I always call them Prog Metal.

That's even more problematic, I think.

Or just "Tool"?

Were you banned? Why?

-shrugs- that too.

I was banned by Strum, for attempting to be funny in the Pit. Oh well, I've never been banned before, so this is kind of cool.

I tend to avoid the Pit these days. I go in there for the occasional look but that's about it.

Yeah, I only go to the Pit when R&M is dead or if I see something interestingon the front page.

[QUOTE=Sliptallica]Yeah, I only go to the Pit when R&M is dead or if I see something interestingon the front page.[/QUOTE]
Same.

Eh, R&M is kind of slow these days, and there's hardly any interesting threads now that they went all nazi with the YSI. I usually stay in the sub-forums of The Pit, but there was just so much stupidity going on I couldn't resist.

It is a little slow, but it'll pick back up in good time.

I got OK Computer the other day. It's good, and I think it'll grow on me more. Is there another Radiohead album I should have gotten first?

Nah, OK Computer is the album you need to get first in my opinion. At first I didn't like it, but I was persistant and determined to find out what everyone thought was so special about them. Then, after about two weeks of listening to it, it hit me straight on and I was hooked.

[QUOTE=Kage]It is a little slow, but it'll pick back up in good time.[/QUOTE]

I'm sure it will, it always seems to anyways.


And Slipt, that's the one I started with, but there's no real right answer to the question. I went OKC => Kid A => The Bends => Hail to the Thief.

[QUOTE=Kage]It is a little slow, but it'll pick back up in good time.[/QUOTE]
Soon as the new Tool comes out. :D

No, that's a great start really now you should get Kid A another masterpiece by this guys.

I think The Bends is the easiest album to get into. OK Computer is so good that its acquiring isn't that difficult, though.

Oh man, I just watched Opeth's Lamentations dvd, and Tool's OK show back to back. It was orgasmic. :D

Highlights of the OK show: 4:30 into The Grudge when its just Danny Carey for a few seconds, and when he hits the drums bright white lights come on behind him. And the big balls of balloons that are floating during Parabola.

I need the first part of the OK show in mpg some day
