All this talk of live footage makes me want the new album to come out so that they tour.

[QUOTE=G_Mac07]A camera fixed on Danny isn't necessarily a bad thing, especially in a song like Ticks & Leeches. Although, I don't find his work in The Grudge as brilliant to listen to though.[/QUOTE]

The fills at the end are amazing :eek:

[QUOTE=estel]I'm not surprised - Maynard has some punishing screams
The length alone of the screams in Eulogy, Ticks and Leeches and The Grudge would be enough to pain anyone.

Just while we're talking about Maynard, mentioning Eulogy reminded me of something I've wondered -
What does Maynard (I assume it's Maynard, but it could be a sample) say during the break in Eulogy where Adam plays the arpeggiated B/E chord with pick slides? When he does the pick slides, there's definitely something said in the background[/QUOTE]


"I'm too smart when you're invisible by the bone and the symbol on you. So he bashes his skull through the window while over looking the sea. Twilight amber ego. We were amused by this"


and I don't think it's Maynard.
I guess it's a quote of someone, and I gues it's a tape

[QUOTE]I havent seen them live, but I did find a live video of The Grudge, and he held it for 3/4 of the time he does on the album. Unfortunately the camera is almost constatly fixed on danny the whole way through, so you never get to see how MJk is sustaining it[/QUOTE]
I have 2 live videos, I think I have a 2001 concert and a 2002 concert, lol, im trying to get others... but one of em shows maynard do the entire scream and he stands there leaning back a little with his head looking at the roof holding the mic up and it looks like every single muscle in his entire body is getting the cr@p beaten out of it to do the scream for half a minute. but he gets a good cheer at the end so its all worth it :) gotta love bootleg haha. After the bandwidth's reset im gonna look for some of their earlier live concerts...

[QUOTE=clearvision]The fills at the end are amazing :eek:[/QUOTE]

Fills? It's a drum solo, pretty much, and it is honestly the best thing he's ever done.

Tick and Leeches is great, but I don't see how anyone could rate T&L over the last 30 seconds or so of The Grudge.

^^ Because parts of T&L are a lot more simple than they sound, and parts are a lot more complex than they sound lol. And because it's the only song remotely like it on the album, so it stands out.

On another, more disturbing note, I was reading the FAQ on toolshed, and then I read the lyrics for 4 degrees after hearing maynards little theory about anal sex (4 degrees warmer than "normal" etc) And well, Lets just say I dont suggest it, it's freaking disgusting lol. for example "Locked up inside you like the calm beneath castles, A cavern of treasures that no one has been to." *cough* I wonder?

so i'm a huge tool fan and have been waiting ages for this to come through the post and it finaly has :D

Hey everyone, sorry for this but I don't feel like going through all the pages again. My favourites got deleted and I was wondering what that site was for the music videos?

Search you fool. SEARCH

[QUOTE=clearvision]Search you fool. SEARCH[/QUOTE]

To be fair, the search for something like that is a difficult task. This is why I think tat the first page should be edited to include all big links and other useful information (recommended songs, best albums to to get, etc). I've suggested it before but it seemed to get overlooked.

(so hopefully SFK will see and consider it)

^ That is a good idea, but I doubt anyone new would look at it unless they posted here, and we then directed them to the first page. It would only be a good idea, if something mentioning links and recommended songs could be seen on the Thread Preview.

[QUOTE=Adam Jones is GOD][url]http://www.musictelevisionsucks.net/search.php[/url]

Search for Tool, and the video should be there (If you're on dial up, not really worth it though)

Plus there are a lot of great live videos there[/QUOTE]

The search works well, SFK should sort the front page out, Toolownsyou is no longer here to edit :(

[QUOTE=G_Mac07]^ That is a good idea, but I doubt anyone new would look at it unless they posted here, and we then directed them to the first page. It would only be a good idea, if something mentioning links and recommended songs could be seen on the Thread Preview.[/QUOTE]

Most of the time, the new people will click on the thread name rather than the last reply, which would direct them to the first post. This would cut down on half of those repetitve questions. But I guess once the official threads lose their powers, most peole will just be starting new threads to ask in any case

And then they'll get temporarily banned for breaking forum rules.

Ahh I see. From my first day on MX, I changed my view so that the most recent posts show up first. Now that I realise I can do that, I think I shall change it back to normal. Thanks for letting me know I can do that.

/heads to User CP

Listened to The Grudge today. Even though my burnt copy (I had to say it... I couldn't hide it any longer *cries* I AM going to buy it though!) is crap due to the fact that my computer nearly completely distorts songs when they're burnt, I was still able to realise that this song is pure perfection, a masterpiece of music. There was not one moment where I thought "jeez this song is pretty long", in fact I didn't want it to end!

I got a question. Is there a tool "forum" anywhere on the net? Cos i done a google search and havent found one! it sucks

There's one at toolshed.down.net, click on Opinion. I don't think it's visited very often though, which is very strange.

tool and a perfect circle are both in my top 5 favorite bands there amazin.

tools albums over the years are gettin more progressive which i luv, i wounder what they will produce next.

a perfect cirlces albums are just as good but i was disappointed by there new album. there first album mer de noms was amazing with hits like judith and 3 libras. there next album thirteenth step is my favorite album of all time. i love the noose and blue but there new album doesnt compare to there old ones, it really good but nowhere near as good as the other two albums

...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ignore that

thanks for letting us know...i had no idea

danny carey arranged his drums in a unicursal hexagram pattern that resembled the geometry layout for the Temple of Solomon...and it released a deamon?

Isn't it great? I absolutely love that song, in fact that entire cd. I'm probably going to buy it today, because my burned copy cut the transitions into each song, so there are a few seconds of silence in between. It really sucks.

Just a question, which part of any tool song do you like the most, like 10 second section? For me its gotta be either Danny Careys solo in 46+2 or maynards singing in the patient "i must keep reminding myself of this" - sends a shiver down my spine. Awesome stuff.

As you can see, I was a huge AiC band back in the day but Tool is by far my favorite band currently.

Despite, the great lyrics (of the song) Opiate, the EP was very mediocre. But it WAS where they started and we knew from that album that they had a good sound and that they would improve.

Undertow was a great ****ing album, right behind Aenima. The song Undertow has great lyrics, as does Sober. Lyrics that are deep but not pretentious.

Aenima is easily my favorite album OF ALL. Yes, it beats AiC's Dirt easily. Jesus ****ing Christ, where do I start?
Okay, I believe that "H", clearly about H or heroin, has absolutely brilliant lyrics. You've got the typical Biblical references, and the "killing me considerately" basically saying that the heroin is killing you feels so inhumanly great.
Aenima is a ****ing badass song. I agree with everything in the song and the pun of the song relating to flushing away LA and the enema(removing **** with liquid). **** THAT MANIPULATING PIG****ED FASCIST(Hubbard)!
One thing I haven't been able to figure out in Eulogy is if they're eulogizing an actual person and if so.. who? Bill Hicks, (ironically) L Ron Hubbard?
Sorry I left out some other greats: Hooker..., Stinkfist, etc

The Lateralus album is more of the long and artsy progressive stuff that defines Tool (sorry, but I didn't like Opiate because it bordered on being punk).
The Grudge is brilliant with the 25sec yell and the lyrics of course are brilliant.
The Patient, Lateralus, Schism, Parabol(a), are great too.

I can't wait for the new album.

And theories of Tool? Well, they follow those of Bill Hicks and they hate organized religion. They hate fake people as shown in Aenema. And what can I say? All of those that say that the members or lyrics of Tool are pretentious? I can see it at some points, but the band is too great to dwell on.

Two things that annoyed me... Maynard mispronounces "solace" and he says "void of hate" when he should say "devoid of hate". Other than that? Tool ****ing owns.

Awaiting angry messages from hardcore Tool fans.
