[QUOTE=Kurrpt]no, he sucks from a technical stand point, but really he wasnt about that. His use effects/off the wall sounds is uncanny, and unmatched[/QUOTE]
I was being sarcas..... Oh nevermind.

Hang out with anymore real live black people? :p

[QUOTE]His song structure and changes are great too. That's actually what I think his strongest asset is.[/QUOTE]Its gotten much better on Lateralus and 10k days. Not so many verse chorus verse chorus etc.

From a compositional standpoint, he knows his changes. It's not even so much the verse/chorus thing as much as knowing how to get from verse and chorus in interesting ways. His knowledge probably comes from jamming for hours over the same riff, variating it also, with Danny and Justin and remembering the best parts.

Yeah, Im rarely anywhere. Besides I have a double pedal hooked up to a standing practice pad. I run through rudiments with my feet for 3 hours out of the day :lol: There no reason for me to even get out of my chair now haha.

thats pretty bad arse...


i had a new axe show up at the house, though i did have to run out to get more ":smoke:"




;)

[QUOTE=taylormemer]I can listen to Opeth, but the growls do get me, and yeah I don't admire them that much. I find much more emotion comes outwhen he is just singing clean, I could listen to theat stuff constantly, but when the growls come in it just puts me off. I can listen to Slayer and love Tom Araya's voice, or Arch Enemy and love Angela Gossow's/Johan Liiva's voice, but when it comes to progressive long songs, I find they are best suited to a more calming sort of atmospheric style. Which is why I love Tool.[/QUOTE] Exactly, that's [I]exactly[/I] how I feel.
Thank you. <3 Haha.

[QUOTE=Shadius]So Maynard's screaming is pretty cool in Ticks and Leeches. What do you guys reckon Mikael would do to that song if they covered it?

[i]NP: Ticks and leeches.[/i][/QUOTE]Ruin It.

[QUOTE=Esoteric_Creator]I've seen the same live version, and I think Maynard has to use more distortion in it. He was not trying to blow his vocals again.. lol.

This is the way I see it (opinions may vary). Let's take The Grudge for example. Right in the middle of that bad boy was a 26 second (actual recorded time may vary) scream that could shatter someone's soul if you are listening too closely. Now, compare that to a growl performed by...hmmm...let's say [insert death/black metal band here] growls. Which one brings about more emotion..?

Either way, I'm not a huge fan of heavy growling. Sure, some growling could work for a song, yet when it's used throughout an entire album I end up wanting to burn the thing..

I've always wondered about the fans of black & death metal. I mean, these kids have to be working out some serious demons, man....and it makes me fearful for the "children of tomorrow".. lol.[/QUOTE]Haha. Yeah the **** Maynard pulls off in Ticks & Leaches is good because it's rare that he ever does it, and it makes it alot more emotional.

Why the hell did you triple posts. All three were pointless too.

[QUOTE=Dunkelheit509]Why the hell did you triple posts. All three were pointless too.[/QUOTE]I making up for all the **** I missed. Haha. And in fact all of them make sense.

Anyways... I [I]highly[/I] doubt there are any Incubus fans on here, but their new stuffs comin out the 15th which is purtty cool.

You know there's an edit button right? You should use that instead of creating multiple posts at once.

I like me some Incubus, but mostly their older stuff. I'm not really that excited about their new material.

But anyways I owe it to them they've done good though out the past few years, they've put alot of work into thier stuff. I think even if you aren't a fan you have to admit they're extremely musicly talented.

Why are they brought up in a Tool thread?


I hate Incubus, ftr.

"Ok. I'll confess to being a lazy bastard lately and that's contributed to the delay but its about time to get a new podcast going soon. As you know the guys have finished recording 10 new songs out of the batch that they've been writing. The sessions went great and all the guys are feeling very inspired at the moment. The band took a small break and now they are back writing more material. My guess is they'll record another 5 or 6 songs sometime in May and June. Once those songs are done they will figure out what songs go on the album. I'm still thinking an October release but you never know. One final note. For those of you who are DYING to see the band this year you'll have one opportunity to make that happen. More info coming soon.

Cheers,

October. you bitch.

October. you bitch.[/QUOTE]Hey I didn't say for sure. Lol. Did you find it on the official site?
If so: Sorry:rolleyes:

Haha, I was only joshing. No need for that damned smilie, it's the worst one ever invented. I wish they'd get rid of it.

Nah, I found it on incubusonline.com

Also, has anyone got a tab of Jambi? There's some floating around, but a powertab would be nice! There's two vids on youtube of Vicarious and The Pot being played by JizzMaster (i think that was his name), and he has them pretty much 100%. He does Jambi aswell, I'd just like to see what tabs he's using!

I heard a rumor that Tool is splitting from their record company, and our putting out a new album soon after they join a new recording company.

Is there any truth to this, does anyone think?

You know they just released a new album right? I believe it was number one on the charts in the states.
