TOOL 10,000 Days--Album Titles Meaning--Tour dates--Lyrics--Discuss

Maynard thinks he's a god or something because he knows what the album title means.

Yes, Maynard, you are the king of all things Tool here and we bow down before your knowledge of Tool and MJK, and we are not worthy to be graced with the presence of you or your "toolarmy" and are not worthy to read the lyrics that you, o holy one, have so righteously discovered for us.

(Sorry, it's just annoying how you keep saying "I had this album a week ago!" "We're working on the lyrics right now!" "I know the meaning of the CD title!".. we really, truly and honestly don't give a shit, you know :))
 
Listened to the album twice, out of curiosity. Not my cup of tea...

I agree with this and Panama Reds post. I've never enjoyed musicians getting off on making long overindulgent music that has no ability to grab the listener in the short term. Call me crazy, but after hearing something the first time, I like to be able to definitively say, I enjoyed that. I don't like listening to things over and over again to finally "get it", so to speak. That's just my opinion though.

Yeah. I getcha.

I'm a fan of dynamic music, and I hear a lot of people boasting that Tool is extremely dynamic, but I really have to disagree -- and not in an opinionated way, either. Musically / mathematically, the songs are overwrought and monotonous, which may be the intent... but that's very far from "dynamic", even within the own song, and - especially - within the walls of album. A juxtaposition between lyrics (sometimes vocals, too) and music might have been welcomed, here... but that would have been outside their style, I think. It feels as though the vocals / lyrics go too hand-in-hand for my tastes.

On the other side of the coin, I'm a fan of dynamic monotony and robotic rock, whilst dynamic in form. Listen to the record "Queens of the Stone Age", by Queens of the Stone Age, to see what I'm talking about.

Back to Tool: I'm not feeling the arrangements and instrument use. I'm not a fan of metal, per say (although two of my favorite artists are viewed as "metal", by idiots who view image over hearing sound), and I can't get on the high-hat symbols, hollowly-perky drums and monotone guitar work -- I can't feel the vocals or lyrics, either. I bring up metal because there are many metal elements within the realm of Tool's musical stylings, aforementioned.

Too pretentious, too. :x

For the spooky folk who are going to flame me for my opinion, I assure you that I'm stoked you love their record. Really. I'm only giving my review, as to why their music doesn't fall under my tastes -- not your tastes -- and nothing more.
 
The post wasn't directed at you, hence the disappearance. I'll respect your opinion as you're giving a review and saying why you don't like it, instead of posting repeatedly, the first time to say that something else of a completely unrelated style is better.

Shut the fuck up and leave.
 
Just found out I'm going to be able to get into the Tool show an hour before the doors open. Life is pretty fucking good right now. :lol: [quote name='Brak']... hollowly-perky drums ...[/QUOTE]The drums are what got me into Tool, I think. I never even noticed them in any songs before I heard Undertow. :lol:

Same, that and the guitar. At the time, I had just started playing the drums and was taking a lesson or two.. I heard the drummer from Tool (that guy and Eric Kretz of STP are my favorite drummers) and it blew my mind.

[quote name='Maynard']PS scorch i'm DYING to see what you look like in real life. I've always wondered, I have it pictured in my mind but i just want to confirm it. And its not some mean picture of you having sex with a llama or something its just what I imagine you might look like. Plus i want to masturbate to your picture while listening to Lateralus and cooking ramen.[/QUOTE] ... :shock:

Ummmmmm...yeah. I didn't know what to think of that comment, either...

I guess that Scorch should feel flattered???

Isn't Jambi that head in the box on "Pee-Wee's Playhouse"???
 
jesus lord, i took out the comment, apparently sarcasim is hard to take online. Come on guys you know that NO one in there right mind would have sex with scorch.
 
I'm not sure how this post took a turn and became a personal attack on me, I was picking on Maynard and now it's all about me? Right.. I mean, okay, take shots on the repost, double post, etc, that's fine, that's fair game, but i've never commented on someone's personal life.

And i'm kinda scared that Maynard wants to see my picture. Maynard's response was fine, but the "PS" part is a big WTF?

Judging by Scorch's screen name, and his online persona, I'd say he's a redhead.

Oh, and Maynard is a dumby.

I have a mental picture of him looking like the older O'Doyle.

Not the best audio or video quality, but still hella impressive. It's amazing how he's playing this intricate stuff, yet is in total control. And the way the way they transition back into the chorus is astounding. What a great band.[/quote]
That's some good stuff. While we're checking out drum solos I present the infamous Joey Jordison video from Disasterpieces. I actually saw this happen at Penn State and it was craziness ...

(and when I say I saw this happen at Penn State I dont necessarily mean at the same time the video was shot)

That was pretty cool. BUT I see your Joey Jorison, and raise you mike portnoy:

Joey's is ok, its just about of triplets together. Dream theatres guy is good too, but again triplets. This is what makes Danny so unique, he doesn't use a bunch of triplets followed by a flam a que when he's playing. If you want to look at truly gifted players look at the Danny Carey's and Carter Beauford. I'm not saying those drummers are bad by anymeans though, cause they're very talented. I was a band nerd all of my elementary school, junior high, high school (drum core and sat first snare). I still play drums every once and a while, but if theres people i can't pick up and replicate its people like Carter and Danny and a LONG list of jazz drummers, i can't remember rita fords drummer for her jazz group but MAN is he good. I should upload some drummer videos of me. Infact anyone who's musically talented should upload a video of themselves i would love to see some Cags jamming out!
 
[quote name='y2jedi']The stuff Danny Carey did with King Crimson was top notch stuff too.[/QUOTE]

I want that. What is it called?
 
[quote name='AshesofWake']anybody here collect vinyls? Think the 10,000 days vinyl will be out soon or will we have to wait like Lateralus...[/QUOTE]

I'd put my money on waiting.
 
[quote name='jughead']I want that. What is it called?[/quote]

I just found it on 360 share, there was a nice 2 plus minute solo on Red. Awhile back someone had it on youtube, too. But, it's gone now.

Knowing tool, it should come out right after the LIVE dvd they've been planning for 6+years
 
Not only that, but it appears all the Tool CDs that are in stock at BestBuy.com (that would mean no Salival) are $10 this week w/ free shipping at BestBuy.com. Not bad if you want to pick up a handful at once.
