[QUOTE=Kurrpt]yea, stfu! I got screwed outta that show :upset:[/QUOTE]

he said they'd be back late summer. how'd you miss out? i almost didn;t go because i didn;t wanna pay $76.

i went to ticket master 45 minutes before they went on sale. Tried getting them immediately at 10 a.m. and i couldnt get through. It was sad :upset:


i would have paid up to 100 for just my ticket alone

Woo! About three weeks til I see Tool, I can't wait, can someone remind me of their recent setlists?

Lost Keys
Rosetta Stoned
Stinkfist
Forty Six & 2
Jambi
Right in Two
Schism
Sober
Lateralus
Vicarious
Ænema

Is the staple setlist for the warm-up tour so far


And Right In Two is changed with The Patient on some nights

I'd rather get Right In Two for the extra two minutes of play time :D Overall very good set, but I wouldn't expect them to open with Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned. In Lost Keys on a backtrack?

From what i've read, its just the instrumental parts (no doc/nurse talk), played by adam at first, then the rest of the band come in and go into RS. MJK using a megaphone for the opening part.

I doubt they'll open with LK/RS at download, but im certain they will for one of the London dates

I wouldn't pay more than 15$ to see them play 11 songs.

good for you...


man, if they would have played the patient instead, that would be almost perfect for me

My only real complaint with the setlist is that they could surely do another song from Lateralus. Reflection or The Grudge would kill.

Thats what I dont get with this warm-up tour, they said it was going to be a small show, not much of a setlist, less visual effects than norm, and people have still paid $200+ for tickets, then complained over the show after they spent so much money on a ticket.

Anyway 11 songs from Tool isn't that short a set really, but the lack of a support band makes it seem so

agreed. Anyone that dumb to pay 200 bucks for something have no room to complain. They were obviously un-informed buyers tha have no one to blame but themself

So, Im not really a fan of tool..

A friend told me about the whole sync thing, I've put them all together to form one mp3 and it sounds amazing.
I dont know if this was intentional or not, but it works.

If the band did this intentionally, this has got to be one of the coolest/original things I've heard a band do on an album.


Props to them :thumb:

A post-metal band called Rosetta released a heavy/soft double album last year, that syncs on purpose all the way through... Some of you guys might like them, I've heard them compared to Isis

[QUOTE=Syncratic]Discuss how this would fu[U]c[/U]king rock.

And: Right in Two > Jambi. So beautiful, I can't get enough.[/QUOTE]

Two of my favourites from the album. I love Right in Two, although I find myself fastforwarding to the heavy part recently. Jambi is great, and the intro is definately one of the highlights of the album imo.

Looking forward to the dvd, hope the rumors of live performances from the lateralus tour are true...live tool in 5.1 surround on my entertainment system = pure heaven.:smash:

when they do the patnt they also do eon blue and the pot. i was hoping for hat combination but i got in two.

It would be kick a[B]s[/B]s if they started doing 3rd eye on this tour....Maybe run it into or after Rosetta.

I don't think i could handle those two tracks side by side. Let alone in one set. I'd love to see an odd song from Undertow. Crawl Away or Flood would do just suffice. That an AEnima. Man i'd be blwon away.

I downloaded both, and the double album synced is pretty cool from what I listened to, but it sounds like the double albums by themselves are somewhat lacking. I havent really listened to them yet, but thats just the impression I get from what I heard.

I just got a bootleg from May 8th, where they played the set that I didn't see, a ton of pictures and a few video clips from when I saw them in Philly on the 17th, and Opium Den. Oh what a happy day it is. :)

(I also won seasons 2,3, and 4 of The Shield for $72 off of eBay, and I'm seeing X3 at midnight, but that's totally unrelated)

I might try to see X3 at midnight.

God I love you!
I couldn't find this anywhere.

They're coming to play in a town near me, so I'll be seeing them for sure, since I've heard about three songs, and loved the stuff.

I can't stop listening to The Grudge. I don't know why, but ever since 10,000 Days came out, I've been listening to a LOT of Lateralus.

Good man, The Grudge is an epic song. :thumb:

Nothing can beat Reflection.

^AGREED 100%

So epic and beautiful....my favorite from the band.

I agree...I think it's my favorite Tool song next to Third Eye and Lateralus.

Does anyone hear voices during the first instrumental part of "Reflection"?

It freaked me out the first time I realized this, as it only really works with headphones.

I can't decide on a favorite song. Lateralus is my favorite album though. I mean...The Grudge, The Patient, Parabola, Lateralus, D/R/T.

Either one could be a favorite song on any given day, really. All of them are so astounding in their own right, at least for me.

Reflection is my favorite song, but there are lots of second places and third places.

Lateralus is my favorite album, and favorite song. :D

I love the line [I]"Wtih my feet upon the ground...."[/I].

I love every line and part of that song. :p

Synchronization
 

[QUOTE]Originally Posted by some guy on another forum
Do you remember that Tool did weird stuff like use the fibonacci sequence on the syllables of the verses in Lateralus? This is even crazier and cooler, and you have to follow a couple of steps to get it.

The mystery of the filler "Vigniti tres" and the two "Wing" parts being a bit similar to each other now make sense, as well as the cover of the album. If you play Wings pt1+Vigniti Tres at the same time as Wings pt 2, you realize that the 2 songs are equal in length to Wings pt2 ... That means that they are meant to be synchronized! The frickin' band synchronized 3 songs!!!! The cover of the album has two faces looking sideways and one big face looking towards you. MAybe the two faces are the 2 smaller songs and the bigger face is the long song ... combined result in one big head.

Just check it out ... the combination is incredibly well done. I am breathless!!! The sync with vigniti tres with the second half of wings pt2 is probably the coolest part, but the first half is really cool too with different riffs in syncs, talk and response of voices, complicated drumming, etc.

The problem is to do it right. The method I use is very hard. I put my headphones in first. I put my Tool disc on the computer, and use windows media player on just track 4 (wings pt2), then transform tracks 3 and 11 into mp3 files in your disc (downloading it may not work since the tracks may vary in length, unless you use something like torrent, stick with mp3 transformation since it's legal though). Ok, now that you have the mp3s ... click play on those two files using winamp.

Now, here comes the tricky part. Press play on the winamp file then pause it. Now, move the winamp windows in a way so that it's very close to the play button of window media player. Now get the time bar of winamp to the far left (the beginning of the wings pt1) and press play, immediately pressing play on the windows media player one. There will be like a 1/10 second difference and is not very noticeable at all.

Maybe there's another way ... if you have two CD drives, maybe you could burn your 10,000 days CD twice (one with wings pt2 and one with the other two songs) play the two at the same time and you won't have to do any tricky stuff.[/QUOTE]

The way I did it was that I put Wings Pt 1 and Viginti Tres in the winamp playlist and Wings Pt 2 in Windows Media Player. Since I can control winamp though my keyboard regardless of what the active window is I just pressed play in WMP at the same time as I hit play from my keyboard for WinAmp.

Worked the first time I did it, perfectly synched; the seconds counted exactly the same.

The synchronization is interesting, but only in parts. From the point Wings Pt 1 starts up until right before the heavy part near the end it works well with Wings Pt 2. It no so much as syncs up as it runs well with it.

What I mean by this is that since Pt 1 is more of an ambient song, the lyrics are barely disinguishable providing a low meditative melody, the bass keeps a steady low hum through out, and the drums provide more ambient crashes and soft pounds. All those elements pretty much get lost with the mix with Pt 2. What stands out is the guitar from Pt 1, it fits well with the bass lines from Pt 2, as they are doing similar things.

Right when it reaches the heavy part from Pt 1 though the "sync" isn't all that great. It's not horribly unfitting with Pt 2, but doesn't really do anything for it.

Somewhere closely after Viginti Tres starts. It gets lost in the mix with Pt. 2. Though this track it mostly a low rumble with ocasional grunts and effects, but they practically go unnoticed until the last 2 minutes of Pt 2 when it seems to fill in some parts of the music.

I honestly doubt any actual intentional (I'm actually listening to the track Intension as I write this sentence, omg a sync with real life!) sync on the part of the band. Pt 1 + Viginti Tres and Pt 2 just run well with one another for the most part. That isn't that hard though, Pt 1 and 2 are in the same key, and Viginti Tres is noise.

It's an interesting listen though, and I recommend it just for the sake of enjoying the music in a different way.

I did find out something interesting. I played Pt 1 and Viginti Tres at the same time and found that the noises from VT sync with the song. I think that on almost every ocasion there was a pause or a change in the music the noise from VT would sync up and play for the exact time that pause or change took place. One example is when Adam changes the arpeggio he's playing.

Anyways, awesome album, cheers guys :chug: .

Yeah, we figured that out like weeks ago. It's still really cool though.

It has to be intentional, I mean they match up exactly, like down to the second.

How does the chorus to Right In Two really go? I've heard "cutting my own, "cutting my love, and "cutting along right in two". Anyone know?

Cut it all right in two.

It's "Gotta divide it all right in two."

That's what I hear.

Oh, wait, that's towards the end.

I dunno then. I'm listening to '10,000 Days (Wings Pt.2)' now.

I like these guys a lot.

Really?

I think they happen to be total sh[U]i[/U]t.
