I like how everyones pissed off because they illegally downloaded videos that wern't up for release yet. Those videos are amazing artwork; i'd say worth a few bucks/quid for each one isn't too much to ask. I'd like to own them in DVD quality.

Imagine what it was like the first time you saw the Schism/Parabola videos on your computer and you could watch them whenever you wanted. I'm sure most of you watched them a few times at least. Well, most Tool fans will get that, and in far superior quality. Most of whom might only have seen them on TV when they were released (If they were lucky) or maybe clips from the bands shows. Not everyone d/ls all the videos ripped from TV, and the band wouldn't expect you to, they crafted those videos and don't expect people to just steal all that art for free; so I see where they're coming from.

Having said that, from what I'm hearing about the commentaries; I wish they were better. I'll be getting mine shipped from america within the next few weeks, so we'll see. I'm also a little excited to hear the remixes of the songs in a different style.

Everyone was hoping for so much with these singles, thats why everyones saying they're utter crap. Everyone was like.. I bet theres a few more tracks on, or more special features, etc. *shrug*

I bet everyone complains when the live DVD comes out because it's the OK show, or something. That'd be hilarious.

You get what you pay for. The new album, on the other hand, that'll be something we can all enjoy.

This is the most cognitive, rational defense of the DVDs I've heard so far; well said mate. My main complaint is that I just paid $19.00 for two videos...let me say that again, I just paid $19.00 for two videos. Videos on iTunes cost $1.99 each, end of story. The commentaries are absolutely atrocious, incomprehensible nonsense.

I never had a complaint about the videos; the videos are fantastic. However, $19.00? Crikey!

Really? If i'd lived in America I could have gotten both videos for $5.99 each off amazon (Free postage if i'd have put them along with some other stuff I wanted). 12 bucks is like.. what? 7 quid or something. That'd be worth it for me personally, especially considering I get the remixes as well. Any more, and I know what you mean.

They probably *should* have put both of them on the same DVD so we got something a bit more like a Salival II.

I understand the whole "include them on one DVD" argument, but then how many bands include their singles on the same disc? None.

And don't give me some crap about singles collections, those don't count.

Most bands don't release singles four years after an album's released, either.

To pick an example of a double single would be Muse's Dead Star/In your world double single.

Yahtzee! These DVDs are an attempt to assuage the impatience felt by most fans...they failed miserably.

[QUOTE=ThePatient]Why pay $8 when I can sit and watch the video on my computer, and commentate them myself. I care more about what I have to say then the guys they got to do them.[/QUOTE]
:lol: 123, man.

If you like the DVDs, then get out! You're not welcome here. This is a DVD-Singles-Bashing Zone.

Well, I am glad I didnt buy them now. I just want a live DVD, and new music. :)

who doesn't....well have you guys ever wondered they might be hinting something to us either about that crazy Alt. order, or the new album.....well when i listened to schism on this DVD i never noticed after the bridge that there were church sounding bells. i'm also starting to wonder if Their really is an alternative order......

Do you speak of the remix? Last time I checked there's definitely no church bells on the album version.

Get it? Church bells? Schism?

its at about 5:13 into the song, you have to use earphones or listen real closely to hear them.

I listened to that part and still can't hear them. Are you sure you're not talking about the remix on the singles?

As soon as I heard that Tool themselves weren't commentating I didn't care anymore. Not being into ambient music didn't help either.

I think I'll instead buy a Volto! ticket :thumb:

Lucky. :chug:

I hear what he's talking about in Schism. Not sure its church bells though.

They sound like church bells to me <Shrug> Never heard em before either way.

They're triangle hits in the original version.

Did anyone read the newest Toolband.com update? Blair and Danny went on a little trip or something. There's something I noticed about it, though. It says they went to Danny's hometown Payola, Kansas. Except, it's spelt Paola. Payola, as I'm sure a lot of you know, is a bribe given to a disc jockey to induce him to promote a particular record. This is an illegal act but is known to be done by just about every record company. Blair also mentioned that when they pulled into Danny's childhood home driveway, "Schism" was playing on the radio. Considering the fact that he replaces Paola with Payola in the story more than once, do you think he's hinting at a new single soon?

I'd say it's plausible.

I'd say we need to get outside a whole lot more. Or maybe just stop reading those stupid updates.

Those updates are like communicating with God, so we cannot stop reading them, or face a lifetime of damnation.

[/QUOTE] I didn't know that.
I would never have even caught that he spelled it wrong.

Oh and Merry Chirstmas thread.

Lustlord remixes suck balls a bit to be honest.

Merry non denominational holiday to you all.

[its christmas really whiny liberals]

Merry Christmas......I got my Schecter and the Parabola DVD...the commentary is confusing, anybody got insight?

Merry Christmas everyone.

Did anyone get the Dvd's in the end?

I didn't get any presents for christmas. I was hoping by chance to see a nice XBOX 360 under our 3 ft. fake tree.

I can't believe I was hacked on Christmas Eve... :(


This sucks... all those posts/rep... gone..

Merry Christmas thread.

You lucky kids and your expensive gifts. So far I got Stewie Griffin's Untold Story DVD and it's funny as hell, a nice jacket and a hundred dollar gift certificate. I wish I got a Schecter guitar :upset:.

I got a Schecter aswell.

C-1 hellraiser all the way.
