Tool

[owa]

Let's discuss some of Tool, and other related bands.

Anyone got a fav song by them? Mind sharing which song, maybe what song got you into them. Stuff like that, just talk about'em.

And do the poll to, kind of curious.

My favourite song by them can change, but right now I'm liking Reflections, the song which got me hooked was Sober. I heard Schism first, but once I heard Sober I had to buy there albums.

Aenema and Lateralus are tied for my fav albums. I'll pick Lateralus however.

 

[-Origin]

First song I ever heard ( actually I saw the video o_o ) was Schism. Absolutely loved it, freaked me out first , played it over and over and over, now I'm addicted to Forty Six and Two, or Aenema and Lateralus ( don't have any albums coz...y'know...). Ahem.

 

[Fire Phoenix]

Schism... I havn't heard tool in soooo long.

I like tool, they are a good band. playing their songs on the guitar is fun im not sure what album i like more. but i know this they need to put more songs on the radio and make videos and stuff...

 

[owa]

Ya, they got a new Album in the works. Prolly own won't be out till like 2005 though.

Radio stations don't play them much, neither do music video networks which sucks

 

[Tassadar]

I love Tool, I like Lateralus and Aenema. The Grudge and H are also good. Like all of 'em

 

[thor]

Just like to say who! lol

 

[Synth]

I am a Tool fanatic...

Aenima is my fav album though... because of the songs H. and 46 n' 2.

 

[Lid]

I have all their albums and the question must be asked: how can I choose.

 

[owa]

I don't know. I want the damn Salival box set. Give it to me please. Future shop is to poopy o have it in stock.

Take some tool lyrics for the road!

tool - reflection
-----------------0

I have come curiously close to the end...
Down,
beneath my self-indulgent pitiful hole...
Defeated,
I concede, and move closer.
I may find comfort here,
I may peace within the emptiness...
How pitiful

It's calling me...
It's calling me...
It's calling me...
It's calling me...

And in my darkest moment,
fetal and weeping,
the moon tells me a secret,
my confidant.

As full, and bright as I am.
This light is no my own, and
a million light reflections pass over me...

The source is bright and endless, she
rescusitates the hopeless.
Without her we are lifeless satelites drifting.

And as I pull my head out, I am without one doubt.
Don't want to be down here soothing my narrcissim.
I must crucify the ego before it's far to late.
I pray the light lifts me out...
Before I pine away.
pine away...
Before I pine away.
pine away...
Before I pine away.
pine away...
Before I pine away.

So crucify the ego, before it's far to late,
and leave behind this place so...
negative,
and blind,
and cynical.

And you will come to find that we are all one mind.
Capable of all that's imagined, and or concevable.

Don't let the light touch you.
Don't let the words spill through.
Don't let them pass right through.
Bringing out our hope, and reason.

Before we pine away
...pine away...
Before we pine away
...pine away...
Before we pine away
...pine away...
Before we PINE AWAY!

Here is a picture I took well at a tool show:

....
Surprisingly besides the guitar and bass mix up, it is what tool would look like live, with the exception that Dany should have 13 symbals...

But that is maynard for ya

 

[Lid]

if you had stayed on irc i would've given you Salival.

oh and your tool representation is way off, Maynard always performs in the shadows on a raised platform because he's insecure about his height.

 

[Evil_Trunks]

I have all their albums and the question must be asked: how can I choose.

That pretty much sums up what I was going to say.

I love everything that is Tool. It's just so refreshing to have a band that actually cares about the music. But I would say that picking an album is ****ing impossible

 

[owa]

This was my refrence picture by the way lol. I added the red, because in another photo he has a bra on and is red and blue and bald with white face paint.

Ah I love everything Tool also.

Maynard has such powerful vocals. It is easy to tell by listening to the chorus in passenger with the Deftones. He blows me away.
anyone see Judith live on the conan obrien show? It is hilarious, Maynard is like 3 feet shorter. I would marry maynard if he was into guys.

 

[Lid]

maynard is 5 feet tall

 

[owa]

I'm taller then him by almost a foot. hehehe.
I wonder if this Doom 3 Tool stuff is true, and what it will be like. I can't expect the makers of doom are expecting kids to play doom 3 on acid, so anything like Lateralus would be confusing for most gamers. I would love it though.
