Notice the disclaimer..."The accuracy of this rig cannot be guaranteed"

most of the bands i searched for werent on that site, but thats pretty cool how it shows thier setups and all.

Justin = or > or < Entwistle ?

i suck at choosing, so i say equal

Wow, I just listened to Third Eye with the volume cranked up... Wow, I missed a LOT of sh!t in there. Yeah, I apologize for saying that the song was overrated, that is DEFINITELY a great song. Jesus christ, I missed so many of Adams riffs in the background and a lot of Maynard's singing.

Once again... SH!T!

[QUOTE=clearvision]Justin's lines are often quietly mixed. And the stuff that isn't quiet is normally high stuff that people think are guitars. This is why justin is normally overlooked.[/QUOTE]
sorry if this is kinda old....
but i just now realized (about a week ago, when i started to learn to play tool finally) that bass is pretty much the whole song, i mean adam adds alot but usually its the guitar who kind of "leads" the band, but with tool i see it as the bass leads the band and guitar helps the bass and adds whatever...
its an awesome thing i think, justin writes some of the coolest basslines i think.

kinda of off topic but i just love the part in pus.hit around 3 min. into the song, where the bass is doing like a.. thing and the guitar is just... heck i dont know! but i love what the bass is doing! its great. it reminds me of the part in This Dying Soul by Dream Theater, like the chorus part, i love when basses do that
(sorry if you dont understand what im talking about, but i cant really describe it)

I'm going to have to disagree with that

I've been formulating my own hypothesis on the whole dual spiral theory on Lateralus.

This made me think, what shape makes up the galaxy? 2 spirals, right? Noone has ever seen/been to the entire galaxy, right? This is all I have concieved as of yet. What do you guys think?

EDIT: Fix'd, thanks JoZ

Nice! There was someone else talking about how Laterlaus connects with a lot of themes that have to do with outer space/the galaxy, and, to me, there's definately a lot of imagery that indicates a very spacey feel on the album.

If you find anything else, keep posting.

I say greater than, but I might be slightly biased.

And it's "May just go where no one's been", referring to the Lateralus quote.

yeah i agree with you on the first thing you said, both justin and paul really were the song. especially in jimmy. great bass line, it's very faint though you have to play it pretty loud to hear it though. also, in the soft parts its the bass that keeps it alive most of the time.

[QUOTE=XyleM][url]http://guitargeek.com/rigview/593/[/url]

That is the set up of adam according to Guitar Geek. Instead of using chorus he must use flange. He uses boss and Ibanez according to the site, just check that site out :lol:[/QUOTE]

I cannot stress enough the inaccuracy of that page. But im sure using that set up you could partly recreate his effects, to an extent.

It says it was built of eye-witness accounts... So I guess he could use a condensed amount of pedals at a live show compared to when his in the studio.

shi.t, i cant remember where i found it, but it had adams pedal board. i was a lot fuller than what guitar geek had. it had a wah, delay, fuzz, flanger, compressor?, envelope filter?. guitar geek was close, but it was missing some. anyone knows what site i'm talking about please at least refresh my memory.

As im stupid enough not to have heard of Tool before they had finished touring, I have a question about their gigs. What are the fans like at one of their gigs? I mean, is there moshing, or anything like that, 'cos i really don't know. I know, bit of a strange question, but anyway! Fire away!

Please hurry up and remember! I've only seen one good site with adam's range of pedals, and that was in some guitarist's on-line diary. Think the links in this thread somewhere.....

I'm sure this has been answered before somewhere in this thread, but I didn't feel like looking through all the pages to try and find it.

Does anyone know the release date of Tool's new album? Like, maybe the month it is supposed to come out?

Thanks

Trust me, once we know, it will be appearing in big bobo style writing on the top of every page to spread the good news.

But we still have no clue.

I really wish they would release a single :(

OOOOOOOO, controversial!

I think they made their stand on singles a while ago. But I admit, just one big song released. all good bands have done it (Meshuggah, Mogwai....well im sure there are others)

THen get them on Top Of the Pops. Thats my goal in life to see that happen

I may be behind on this, but I haven't heard any word on it: Are they even finished/started recording yet? If not, it's going to be awhile, to say the least.

They're throwing together songs, but for all we know, they might have already got a few things down. I cant see them taking this one as a write/studio/record/mix situation. Then again, they might just stick to that formula

So instead of write/studio/record/mix, they're going to... ?

Write, then immediately record that song, then work on another, instead of writing all the songs before going into the studio. Im suprised they havent got their own recording set up by now.

[b]x the patient x6[/b], if you still want Spasm, can you post your e-mail in here with your next post. I keep getting failed delivery notifications each time I try the address you gave me, it says it does not exist.

could you possibly upload it to YouSendIt G Mac?

/didn't think of that.

I'll probably do it some time tomorrow.

I'm getting some mixed messages here. Is Tool going to be releasing a new album or touring anytime soon? Or am I just reading old news and not knowing it...

Do you have ideas of Tool songs to play with my band? SOmething not easy but not extremly difficult. Thanks

The Patient, Schism, Lateralus (Rhythmically Tricky), Prison Se[i]x[/i], Ænima... You better have a good drummer :thumb:

How do you make that thing in Aenima? Like the first 2 letters together?
