I like Chino, but he's no Maynard.

[QUOTE=Adam Jones is GOD]Chino's voice is one that is an aquired taste. Most fans admit he cant sing, which is what makes him great. I've had some people though who had no clue that MJk sang on passenger, they thought that Chino was suddenly possessed.[/QUOTE]

ha! Can't sing? Download The Chauffer by Deftones and you'll hear him sing. Plus, he has amazing variety. Just because he's no virtuoso doesn't mean he can't sing. :thumb:

[QUOTE=x the patient x6]

[/QUOTE]

Do you use MSN or AIM, I can help you out if you do, I have the Peach and Tool versions of Spasm. If thats not going to work, I can E-Mail it to you, providing you give me an address without a storage limit, otherwise I can hook you up with G-Mail.

i like chino and maynard but i think maynard is alot better.

i dont really remember what got me into tool, i do remember seeing the sober video on mtv wen i was little, i guess i just liked them ever since.

aaaas a matter of fact i do

and its either the same as my username, or the one in my profile

thank you very much


oh, almost forgot, its AIM

I think that his voice goes along perfectly with the song "Change". I love that song.

I have a question about "Triad." At around 3:00 and 3:20 it's sounds like somebody (Could be maynard) goes "Uh!" And since that is one of Zack De La Rocha's signatures, and Tool and RATM have such close ties, could that possibly be Zack? I know Maynard did a Cameo appearings on Know Your Enemy, so it's a possibility i guess... :confused:

i think they used some samples of vocals in Triad, that might be what u hear. im not entirely sure, i cant be bothered finding out definitely...

Toolishness
 

Hi Toolites, I am new to this forum.
---------------------------------

Someone once said,

Danny Carey is a God,
Maynard is Jesus, and
Adam & Justin are their Apostles.

Regardless, IMO Tool is the ultimate progressive rock-art band.
I could defend Led Zep, Pink Floyd, The Beatles (which are all extremely ahead of their own time and all favorites of mine,) but resistence is futile, right?

TOOL is a living legend.

The magick of Solomon, Solomon's Temple, ect...
Has anyone else any ideas about the subject matter for the upcoming album???

[QUOTE=Kage]I sort of had trouble reading what you said
:amaze:

but that's a pretty cool theory. Nice job :thumb:[/QUOTE]


thanx man. i had a lot of more things to say about that but it would've been pretty long so i just tried to shorten it in the limited time i had. Had to go to bed, i'm only 15, yeah so if anyone wants to know what i have to say about lateralus, any song even fillers, just post and i'll see what i can do to help. :cool:

Tool is the zep and beatles of today. kinda.

jensmatty, yes :)

The same collective Soul?

P.s. I will be back soon to post my interpretation of the "Eulogy" - of Maynard.

:smoke:

Can anyone here tell me how to nail that pick swelling thing at the start of Ticks & Leeches? (On Guitar). I can't seem to get it right. :confused:

[QUOTE=jensmatty]Tool is the zep and beatles of today. kinda.[/QUOTE]

How so?

[QUOTE=In Chains 36]I became a fan of Tool about eight years ago; back when I was in 7th grade in jr. high or something. I first heard them when I saw the video of Sober on MTV. So that was my favorite song of theirs and then I got really interested and bought Undertow and Aenima. I have to admit, at first, the only songs I liked were 46 & 2, Sober, Stinkfist, etc.. the more catchy songs that you can get in to right away.
But I think that as you get older, you begin to appreciate more. That rings completely true to me, because some of my favorite songs of Tool's are the epic ones.[/QUOTE]

Spot on. I used to only listen to HWAP.

Now, I only really listen to the longer ones, especially Third Eye, Reflection and Pu****.

[QUOTE]How so?[/QUOTE]
They're the good music that'll be remembered in 30-40 years. and they sound like nothing else made yet, really.

Well, they are influential, and they have developed a unique sound, so I can agree with you there. I was worried you would make a sweeping statement. Congratulations on not being a rabid fanatic. :)

^ :lol: why thankyou! im just keeping in mind there was the pop music of the 70's, it just wasn't pop lol.

Which part you mean?
If you mean the opening chord that fades in with feedback, it's just
-
-
-
-2
-2
-2
start with the volume knob low, and turn it up... putting in some feedback

If you mean the high pitched bit, it's pretty easy
[font=courier new]
- -------------------------------------- 10
- ---------------------------------- 10
-/9 7h9 /9 9p7 /9 7h9* 7h9* /9 9p7

where the stars are, put in some pick harmonics (to get it the easy way, hit the 7th fret, then hammer on to 9, just as you hammer on, let your picking hand lightly brush against the string, it'll produce a high-pitched artificial harmonic, should sound like Adam's guitar does. in that part)
then it's just
[font=courier new]
-12 12 12 10/12 12 12 12 12 12 12 10 10 10
-12 12 12 10/12 12 12 12 12 12 12 10 10 10
-9 --9--9--7 / 9--9-- 9--/9- 9- 9 -9 - 7 7 7

Thanks mate, I meant the opening part when you have to use the volume knob.

The tab I had just said to do a really big pick swell, and I had no idea what that was. So I was basically screwing around trying to do pick scrapes while turn up the volume. :upset:

I'll give your way a go tomorrow night when I can use my amp again. Thanks.

I remember reading something about Tools next album being heavier because they have been influenced by Meshuggah who they they were touring with or something, I may have read that in here I can't remember though,

Anyone else heard anything of the sort.

You probably read it in here, on 100 other tool sites and from the woman at the bus stop telling you. Its something thats been around for ages now, so you could have heard it from anywhere.

And yes, we are all very excited about this.

i think MJK poops gold, and i will love the album regardless of how it sounds :thumb:

MJK is probably the last person in the band to be flawless IMO. His track recoed against the other members show that he is most liable to mess up. But still, no danger of a major mess up with this album

haha, im not sure if i agree with that statement, but i would say TOoL would be nothing without MJK. The same goes for APC

What do you mean by mess up?

[QUOTE='kurrptsenate ']haha, im not sure if i agree with that statement, but i would say TOoL would be nothing without MJK. The same goes for APC[/QUOTE]

This is very true.

However without Adam Jones or Danny Carey the band wouldn't be anything either.

Well they wouldn't have half as many fans without him, but the unique sound would have still attracted people. And APC would have been ok with just Billy's vocals,he has a good voice too. Unfortunately, most people would never have listened to them if it wasnt for MJK's presence.

[QUOTE=Kage]What do you mean by mess up?[/QUOTE]

Looking more at his APC trrack record. On the whole, he's done great there, but with eMOTIVE, we saw that he can be involved in some utter crap too.

/me thinks i've struck a nerve here
