[QUOTE=fuzzyhair]I like the intro to Rosetta Stoned. Sounds awesome on headphones.

Vicarious is my favorite song on the album at the moment though, even know there is slight clipping in the intro.
Does Tool do this on purpose or is it just bad recording techniques?[/QUOTE]

There's clippings and white noise all throughout the 10,000 Days album. It's just errors in recording technique.

Ahh that sucks. Apparently Tool doesn't care. It kinda just adds to their sound.

I think it would be cool if Tool did an acoustic song. I know that's not their style but I think it would be entertaining to see what they could come up with.

That could be funny. Imagine Maynard and Adam singing that Extreme ballad More than Words. hah

Just got my floor ticket to see Tool on the 25th of August. :D :D

I've never been this happy. 80 bucks though, that's pretty steep, but oh well.

They did an acoustic version of "Maynard's dick" it was pretty cool.

What makes you think they don't care?

[QUOTE=Adam Jones is GOD]And good news from those interviews shows that Tool are looking at a winter full UK tour, as the record label will actually pay for the tour this time, unlike 2002, where the UK shows were paid for by the band, hence why so few[/QUOTE]
That is excellent news. A longer set next time would be great.

[QUOTE=YouGottaBeCrazy]What makes you think they don't care?[/QUOTE]
I just think that if I was in a band like Tool I would listen to the songs vigorously. And if it sounds bad I would go back and either digitally fix it or record again. Thats all you can really do. The main reason it clips is because of compression. If every band turned it down a couple of db. there wouldn't be a problem. But since sell out pop bands make music as loud as possible, Tool has to try to catch up. And it isn't working out to well.

BTW I love Tool and I listen to it even if it sounds like crap.

Oh and I am listening to it in a lossless format, so my compression wouldn't be a problem. I don't think mp3gain would fix it either, since it is part of the music.

/rant.

Holy **** check out this video at ~3:36.
Watch how high that person in the crowd gets.

Alright!!! I'm going to see Tool on August 22nd. First time i'll see them live too. The reason i didn't see them before was because I didnt' really get into them untill late 2002. 9th row too, tried so hard to get floor tickets, but **** it will be nice.

Yeah, I gotcha'. Most people won't notice the white noise and clippings thankfully. The RHCP album [I]Californication[/I] suffers from the same flaw.

I don't think it is really a flaw in that album's case..I mean, it was recorded in mono right? :-/ Puzzling.

I like how they said they had a problem with the click track in the studio. Than Danny said he didn't use a click on the album when Modern Drummer interviewed him.

What kind of click track problem? Like they couldn't delete it from the mastered track, or what do you mean?

Man, that would blow to no end. :-/

It is a flaw, but I don't consider it that big of a deal. Personally, I don't like the overall production of the album anyway.

So I got a myspace band invite today, and while usually the bands arn't worth my time, this one was kind of interesting...

You'll understand what I mean if you listen to one of their songs.

I enjoyed it. Reminds me of Tool.

And the drummer used octobans in a uncliche way! That must mean something :p

Not bad, they like quite a few of my favourite bands.

Wow, I'm a major fan of nearly all of their influences.

Too bad they didn't even spell Mastodon correctly. What fags. :lol:

Seeing Tool in about 9 hours :eek: :)

[QUOTE=Duman]Seeing Tool in about 9 hours :eek: :)[/QUOTE]


lucky. i want to see them, but the tickets are way too expensive.:(

Yes the tickets are way too expensive. They weren't as bad as Maiden tickets though. Still £28 is enough.

I paid 80 bucks Canadian for my ticket...

I paid roughly around the same. I got 9th row balcony seats right beside the stage. The last 2 concerts i've been at i've been right beside the stage.

I got mine for 65 US dollars. They were the priciest tickets available, so I figured I might as well get them. :p

So how long is it taking for these Tool shows to sell out?

What ever happened to the Vicarious music video?

Im hoping it'll air sometime in July.

Tool added Opiate to their setlist last night I read. Why couldnt they have done that for the UK gigs?

[QUOTE=Prince of Darkness]What ever happened to the Vicarious music video?[/QUOTE]

haha yeah right

kinda makes you wonder what the point of releasing the video is now.

I want to hear The Gaping Lotus Experience live. :lol:

Ben - stfu, you saw Tool.

[QUOTE=Adam Jones is GOD]Im hoping it'll air sometime in July.

Yeah but they missed out Sober so it's not as good imo.

A clip of me singing the second verse+chorus to fortysix and 2.. With that orgasmic backingtrack matter and rounder did [url]http://www.zshare.net/audio/462clip-mp3.html[/url] comments? critique? ..

Motor boats Knife!, motor boats!!! And relax a little more! Not bad though. Are you a tenor or close? Your voice sounds kinda light, tonewise. :cool:

By the way, whats up with the dvd and/or live show thing?

Thanks for listening.. Hehe.. And yeah, I'm pretty sure I'm a tenor.. And what does "motorboating" help with?

I really enjoy the composition of Third Eye from tool, I wonder how they were able to pull off the complixity of that song live, it just amazes me.

Complexity? I'd call it eccentricity, and Tool can pull that off without a hitch.

Nice user title, Jake.

I personally LOVE 'Digital Bath' the best, though.

[QUOTE=Dr. Jake Destructo]Complexity? I'd call it eccentricity, and Tool can pull that off without a hitch.[/QUOTE]

Hehe, that sounds about right, Tool has been together long enough to understand that, I bet its easy as eating an apple. But when I hear it, my mind can't even begin to comprehend it all.

Syncratic - I prefer Digital Bath to Rx Queen, but who wouldn't want to be referred to as "Rx Queen?" :lol:


Anonymity - I actually am not sure if that either. Adam Jones makes it sounds like it seriously sucks to make music with Tool, but that in the end, the reward is greater than the blood/sweat/tears lost. :-/
