what do you mean?

I'm guessing after they tour, yeah, they'll be done. Maynard said something along the lines of "everything has to come to an end sooner or later, and in this case [referring to Tool] it looks like it's gonna be sooner."

I personally feel like Tool has said all they have to say.

Had they topped Lateralus with 10kd, I'd be bummed to think that, but I think I'd rather hear what Adam can do with other musicians and styles. Maybe something other than pentatonica triplet hammers. >:-[

Haha. In a manner of speaking, yes. I think Adam will most likely puruse a visual artform though, personally.

I'm too stoked about this Bozzio/Buzzo collaboration though, heh.

I also wouldn't doubt him getting into animation or something again.

Speaking of visual art, whats the deal with the Vicarious vid? Is it out yet? :-/

5 years can give you alot of material.

Like the 7 songs on 10kd?

Yeah, I do remember him saying that, but I also remember Danny mentioning that Tool still had some records to do or something...let me see if can find the exact quote....here it is:

[QUOTE]Q: What do you think you'll be doing ten years from now when you're fifty-four?

Danny: "The same thing I'm doing now hopefully. Tool will do a few more records. In our case, ten years is two records. [laugh]"...so on and so forth.

So who knows if the band will step down anytime soon. Things seem quite contradicting.

10KD had some good songs but I really hoped for more of a change from the Lateralus sound. It's practically the same except for some of the chugga chugga crap. That's why I like The Pot, because it sounds completely unlike Tool's older stuff.

Sure. Who else has written a song about E.t.? :p

Intension is probably my favorite song from them now. I like the electronica/trance drum beats carey was doing on his mandalas mixed with acoustic drums.

I think they should do more stuff like that personally.

Keep an eye out in the future, as it sounds like the solo stuff danny is working on is going to sound like that.

If he ever gets serious and makes a non tool record that is though

I think the next thing on Danny's agenda is a Volto! album, which is awesome.

Rosetta Stoned is definitely my fave. Then Jambi, then after that it's really hard to tell. Intension is extremely unique, although it's entirely too similiar to something APC would write. I mean, the vocal effect is very close to the one used during the intro of Vanishing. Even the ambience is reminiscient of APC.

Intension is on of my favorites...Great vibe, beautiful guitar. And I love what they're doing with the electronics.

PS: I just remembered that they signed a 3 album deal with Volcano, and there's at least one album, maybe even two left on the contract.

I haven't listened to 10,000 Days in some time. I need to dig that up and give it a listen.

I'm starting to get sick of "Vicarious". It's very infectious, but highly reminiscent to Lateralus.

I was sick of it, then I realized that I've never gotten sick of a Tool song, so I decided to learn it instead. :shrug: Compromise.

I've listened to 10,000 days so many times that im sick of the first few tracks not because I dont like the songs just because I've heard the songs sooo many times....wings pt. 2 is my favorite song on the cd still though and it has been since i bought it

The thing is they are catchy but they are boring.

>_>

Yeah.

I'm starting to believe that we'll never see a Vicarious video.

And one for The Pot? Forget about it.

I think because they put so much time in between there albums they will go a long way. Maybe after making an album and touring non stop back to back you get sick of it and a band splits, but these guys go and do other things and give them a break. So, I'm sure when it comes time they go, "Haven't done Tool in awhile. Sounds like fun."

Like going to a good restaurant you haven't been to in awhile.

Some dude tried to pass off a video that he made himself for the new video from the pot you tube. :amaze:

That's a good point.

A lot of young bands tend to be naive about that fact. It's like, they break up, when all they really needed was just some time off. That happened tot he first incarnation of King Crimson--a good number of the members quit and then realized their mistake just a few months later when it was too late.

Do you mean the cartoon one with all the plants on a plantation and stuff? If so, shut up. :p If you mean something else, then do tell.

I can't believe they postponed the show last night! After all my traveling! Nah, it was only an hour, heh. But still! Well, at least I got tickets for Isis' show tonight.


*upset*

[QUOTE=Dr. Jake Destructo]Anyways, I have a couple requests: First, can someone send me [B]one or both of Puscifers songs[/B]? I'm interested on where Maynard will be going after Tool. Second, does anyone have a live AND extended version of Opiate? I've never heard anyone proclaim the badassity of this version, but it was honestly a highlight of the show for me.[/QUOTE]

I can send them both to you. :wave:

Email address?

spiralout7 @ gmail.com

I just bought Tool and Isis tickets. I havent heard any Isis. Can some describe the to me or send me a sampler over AIM?
