When does he use that? Am I the only one that doesn't know what an Epilady is?

[QUOTE=Adam Jones is GOD]A little research to give more insight into the world of Adam, and some kinda explanation about his epilady effect. The original question was if he felt inadequate as a guitar player at times:




And then explaining why:[/QUOTE]


interesting stuuf you posted there, I never seen that before.

[QUOTE=Kage]When does he use that? Am I the only one that doesn't know what an Epilady is?[/QUOTE]


a little shaving like device for the ladies.

you just put it on your leg, ( or any spot where you would like to remove hair.)
and it pulls out the hair in it's entirety

Does he just get the sound of the motor through his pickups or does he actually play the strings? I use an electric toothbrush to sound the motor and change it's speeds but I can't getm it to play to strings. I want an E-bow.

The epilady has sets of tweezers i think...my understanding was he got the epilady to pluck the strings, but the mention of a vibrator aswell wouldn't really work.

^Epilady

That's a newer Epilady, he uses one of the older models.

could you tell me what an E-bow exactly is?
I saw it metioned a few times in the Opeth thread, especially with the BWP album.
but I'm not a real guitar man, or a very technical man anyways, as far as music goes.
so anyone?

Oh yea the Dave Navarro story, that's what I was thinking of. I knew he saw a different muscisian use a motorized device to play, but I couldn't remember who it was.

And I was also wondering about the E-bow. I've read about it, but I don't get how it works.

Joz knows his epilady stuff i see :)

My understanding of the e-bow is that it uses a magnetic field to constantly vibrate 1 string at a time, so there is no need to pick.

You can change the volume and stuff...just look at the players guide on the site :)

This thread rocks. I love tool. :)

Found some very cool info here...

And an e-bow makes a violin-like sound, or can, I'm not sure if that's it's only use but that's all I've ever used one for.

And another epilady question...what song(s) does Adam use it on?

The biggest example of him using it would be on Triad. Thiugh it wouldnt suprise me if it was on Third Eye too, since it uses so many dam[COLOR=White]n[/COLOR] effects. (though im not sure if he was influenced by the idea at that time.)

how does he actually use it people?

is it just the motor messing with the pickups?

I guess so, he talked about how (like many of us krazy guitarist) threw any kind of electronical or motorised device next to the pick ups to create some odd noises. But not seeing it live I wouldnt know :(

I tend to get weird efects using my old mobile phone, though im not sure if its doing my EMGs any good. And they come before cool noises anyday

lol ok...

i used to be able to pick up radio stations on my face with my jack lead...does that count?

What guitar do you play AJIG, what is your rig? (hehee)

Currently

Guitars:
Jackson DXMG
Squire Showmaster (which, once I get the cash, is becoing my custom playground)

Gear:
Marshall MG30DFX (donation charity for an amp of standard capabilities is currently being set up)
Marshall Jackhammer distortion pedal
Morley Classic Wah pedal
And I did have a delay pedal around at some point which was ancient.

And i guess radio stations could make a good solo fill. Anyone else have interesting suggestions, please post and i can experiment

[QUOTE=Kage]When does he use that? Am I the only one that doesn't know what an Epilady is?[/QUOTE]

i think that they explained pretty well what it is. he uses it most notably on triad for that solo. i'm sure he uses it elsewhere but im not sure where

[QUOTE=clearvision]lol ok...

I've picked up radiostations on my cousin's huge amp before, but not mine. If that's what you mean...

And I saw Adam on the Jurassic Park dvd :D

[QUOTE=magicbus]I've picked up radiostations on my cousin's huge amp before, but not mine. If that's what you mean...

[/QUOTE]
Same here, only I can only pick em up with my 10 watt Ibanez mini, not my Fender 50 watt bassman.

I'm gonna go try that TV remote thing. :D

How do are you guys getting the radio stations? My friend once got one by touching the guitar jack with the cable, is that what you are doing?

[QUOTE=Slaytanic777]Dude, I love your icon... MRH is pimp juice![/QUOTE]
Thanks man.

my old amp would pick up some monk radio station and stuff, it was all wierd hums and chanting and it would always freak me out

[QUOTE=Maynard's Dick]How do are you guys getting the radio stations? My friend once got one by touching the guitar jack with the cable, is that what you are doing?[/QUOTE]
Yea it was something like that. Just touching the jack, so it gets that fuzz. I didn't work on my amp, just this other old one we were using. Or maybe they're aren't any radio waves going by my house.

so is there any tool talk in here
 

Theres like no tool goin on seriously man

Fcuk you! the tool album will be here soon! Maybe veen by july!

my 10 watt crate does the radio thing, i got som asian station

and the tv remote thing kind of works, its not very audible

I just take the power AC adaptor and touch it on the rim of my RP100 and i get about 2 at the same time. There was another way..which I can't recall right now.

[QUOTE=x the patient x6]my 10 watt crate does the radio thing, i got som asian station

If you're going to try the TV remote thing, then turn the distortion on your guitar all the way up. When I tried it with my bass, you could barely hear it, but when I cranked the distortion all the way up, it was loud enough to freak out my dog downstairs.

Nice name dude ^ Burton+Chancellor would be like..the greatest thing ever.

i wasn't real impressed with the remote trick. i could find cool uses but i'm not looking for that kink of sound

Hwap

[B]Hooker with a P.enis[/B]

[I]I met a boy

that claimed that he

Well now I've got some advice for you, little buddy.
Before you point the finger you should know that I'm the man,
and if I'm the man, then you're the man, and he's the man as well
so you can point that f.uckin' finger up your ***.

All you know about me is what I've sold you,
Dumb f.uck. I sold out long before you ever heard my name.
I sold my soul to make a record,
Dip ****, and you bought one.

my friend, this is quite a good question. the way i see it, hooker with a ***** is another way of talking about "fanboys", in the way that Maynard and the boys had "sold out before you ever heard my name" and that they had "sold my soul to make a record" (perhaps stating an athiest perspective to life as opposed to satanism or christianity)

[I]I met a boy
wearing Vans,
501s,
and a dope beastie-tee,
nipple rings,
and new tattoos

that claimed that he
was OGT,
from '92,
the first EP.[/I]

the above may be a physical description of early-on "fanboys" where they tried to be what the media claims to be "hardcore" :evil: and when they meet with them/talk to them, the come out to this:

[I]and in between
sips of coke
he told me
that he thought we

were sellin' out,
layin' down,
suckin' up
to the man.[/I]

here, the "fanboys" claim that Tool has sold out, and that they were 'sellin' out' , 'layin' down' (if the first album wasn't so hot, which i promise you, it [I]was[/I]), 'sucking up to the man' (perhaps the head of a recording contract? :confused: ) Maynard then comes back with:

[I]Well now I've got some advice for you, little buddy.
Before you point the finger you should know that I'm the man,
and if I'm the man, then you're the man, and he's the man as well
so you can point that f.uckin' finger up your ***.[/I]

here, he says that he sees it otherwise, and that he, infact, [B]is[/B] the man, and therefore, random person to the left may be the man, and you may as well br the man, so the finger that he was (metaphorically) pointing at Tool can go up his tight little "fanboy" ***. He then explains this:

[I]All you know about me is what I've sold you,
Dumb f.uck. I sold out long before you ever heard my name.
I sold my soul to make a record,
Dip ****, and you bought one.[/I]

here, maynard continues explaining that the only time that he 'sold out' was before there even was a record, and that he in fact sold his soul to make it (perhaps showing his love for music, and fans othat feel the same), and to make it all the more ironic, this "fanboy" bought a record.

[I]So I've got some Advice for you, little buddy.
Before you point your finger You should know that I'm the man.
If I'm the f.uckin' man then you're the f.uckin' man as well,
So you can Point that f.uckin' finger up your ***.[/I]

he then re-explains the fact that he is 'the f.uckin' man', and that 'you're the f.uckin' man as well' and to shove his little fanboy finger up his tight little ***. then, he takes the media, and crams it up the little twat's nose:

[I]All you know about me is what I've sold you,
Dumb f.uck. I sold out long before you ever heard my name.
I sold my soul to make a record, Dip ****, And you bought one.

and then he shares his honest opinions on the little ignorant b@stard.

[QUOTE=Xdrown6in6bileX]Yeah, It keeps saying "..And no eggs" but the song's title does translate to "the eggs of satan"...I am positive about this...Check it out.[/QUOTE]
maybe he thinks that the eggs belong to satan, therefore:

a) he doesnt deserve them, because satan is a higher being in his eyes, or
b) he thinks that the eggs belong to satan, and that only the worshippers of satan use eggs.

just my pov.

:evil:

[QUOTE]and that he in fact sold his soul to make it (perhaps showing his love for music, and fans othat feel the same)[/QUOTE]

When he said "sold my soul to make a record", what he hated was the fact that he had to become the thing he hated most.

I'm reading the Lyrics to Jimmy right now. I've been trying to figure out a meaning behind it.


I've kind of gotten an image of a soldier, remembering why he is fighting this war and how his loved one will guide him safely home. The second verse where he chants eleven, i'm thinking that it is a symbol of Nov. 11 rememberance day.

This was a short interpretation of the song, but it's what i understand of it.

What are your thought about this song?

In hooker...

The part about being OTT back in '92...this was when the band first hit the scene, Maynard tells him thats basically bollox to be OTT he'd have basically had to be IN the band, to be there from the beggining.

Jimmy is about Maynard just letting go of his abused childhood...Jimmy is the young version of James...Dead ohio sky implies it was MJK as he grew up In ohio...all the references to 11 is his age..:) i think...

Yea that could work to, but as we all know it could be sometinh all together out of context.

BTW this is my second account, i forgot my password on the first one (CoopALoop)

YOu sure you dont mean OGT? Which was the short hand for 'Official Gangster of Tool', some sort of fan base (probably fictional piss take, but without being around in tools early days, I dont know)

Yeah thats what i wanted to put but i couldn't remember the specifics, but you knew what i meant though ;)

/pwn3d by the all knowing AJIG

AJG have you read Nothing in this book is true, but it's exactly how it is? I was looking through it on amazon and saw something I thought was interesting...

"bill Cooper is now honorably discharged from the Navy. He states that in 1972, he saw two reports relating to the goverment involvement with alien creatures while working as a quartermaster with an intelligence brifing team for the U.S. Admiral Bernard A. Clarey then Commander in Chief of the Pacific Fleet. Bill served in that capacity from 1970 to 1973.
He states that the two reports he saw were: 1) Project GRUDGE/BLUE BOOK Report NO. 12 and 2) MAJORITY Briefing.
The GRUDGE report he saw contained about twenty five black and white photographs of "alien life forms" and information about them..."

I thought the name grudge was interesting as this book was supposed to be a Tool influence...

I really want that book. I shall get my aunt to buy it when she comes over from yankee land next. Any-one apart form sonorken read it?
