10,000 days was disappointing >_>
you must not get it or something lol
for real, 10,000 days has just as much if not more powerful than lateralus...just not as dark and ominous sounding....but its still there, that otherwordly spiritual vibe thats really hard to describe...but its still there :edit: however, Schism on LSD will always have a most special place in my heart

Tool is definately genius, have you guys heard about the fibonacci sequence in the song lateralus? Blew my mind when i heard about it. The youtube video below explains how it works. I always get goosebumps when i listen to that song.

it makes me kinda sad tho, that they're nearing the end of this tour....i always get sad like this at the end of their 2nd "current cd promotion" tours (yes that really DOES make sense, dont say "huh")...cause they always go *POOF* and fuckin vanish and go into hiding for 5 years or so....which is probably has something to do with why SOOOOOO many ppl didnt like Days..too much time to get used to one sound and vibe while the band and their music are evolving and growing while they're M.I.A.....of course, only 3 of them drop off the scene...Maynard's always gonna have some kinda new lame side project that will rear its ugly head just as soon as Tool goes into hibernation/incubation....ok yeh..APC is a good band...but PUSCIFER?! with a debut album titled "V is for vagina"?!....whatever

It makes me sad too, because i have never seen them live and i know it would be amazing, i just wonder how many years they have left and whether ill miss out or not. Their music enlightens the mind. They are truly something special.

Well... Tool is also my favorite band and I've only seen them live once at the big day out (in NZ)... It was a brilliant show and at the end maynard said he would probably be back at the end of the year on tour.
I've been checking the site but no date posted so looks like they won't be coming back this time round. Really sucks as I am soooo keen to see them again. Their live performances are amazing

I was an arms length off the rail for most of the Tool show at Bonnaroo. It was amazing.
Anyone ever re-ordered the tracks on Lateralus? It's worth a listen. I don't really know if it was supposed to be that way, but it lines up pretty well. the order is 6 7 5 8 4 9 13 1 12 2 11 3 10

The one time I've tried mushroom was the night before they played Coachella recently. The only songs I had on my laptop were Pushit and Thirdeye. Seeing them the next day definitely felt like a release.

Thank you.
I skipped school the day Lateralus came out. I was amazed by the artwork. I was amazed by the music. I was amazed by the spiritual meaning I was able to find in it. I decided I wanted that tattooed that day and it finally became a reality this past Memorial day.
I have about 15 more hours of work to go though. Rev B.

i dont get, like or listen to tool. i dont understand it at all. sorry. iv lisened to all of opiate. iv lisened to all of lateralus nothing clicks. its all floaty un enchanting. iv seen that fibinochi video before. meh uninpressed. fibinochy sneeks its way into pretty much every thinkg in our moodern lives. from our credit cards to the food we eat. its all infused with golden ratio's.
now for me. tools driving and often unimaginative riffs (just me talkin here) make it almost boring and not worth straing my ears to figure out what maynard is saying.
i need inprov. i need spontinaity. i need the pressence of somthig otherworldly. not a $10,000 light show and creepy ambiant imagry.
i mean i love alex greyas much as the next human but some times i think tool is just not steping out at all.
again just me talking ima go put on some good ol 74'

well no one's forcin u to like em
the fibonacci deal in Lateralus didnt just "show up" on its own....they (tool) put it there intentionally..or so they said in some interview i read somewhere a while back...
as for their riffs being unimaginative, i guess i can see how one could think that.....out of all of their songs, there are only 3 that dont use drop-D guitar/bass tuning (yeh i know Justin plays a 5 stringer but whatever)....and there's really only >so< much a person can do with a guitar tuned to that....
and the $10,000 light show and creepy ambient imagery....well, they ARE genre'd as "art-rock"....A LOT of the videos that are played during their shows were done either by Chet Czar, or their guitarist/founder Adam Jones and his wife Camella Grace (spiraleyes.com)...yeh theres a lot of Alex Grey's work too, but not more than the others.
there is definitely an otherwordly presence to their music, to me at least, i dont get how you dont get it
and i agree 100% about maynard's singing....hopefully the other 3 members of the band will do something on their own when maynard's off doin his side-project crap.
So you say u need improvisation and spontaneity...do you like Smashing Pumpkins at all? The shows from >their< new tour have been nothing short of amazing.

Their lack of improv is what I really enjoy about them. Hardcore fans obviously catch the subtle changes they make in songs, but other than that they do an amazing job at recreating the music live.

You obviously havent listened to Dannys drumming if you're complaining about bland riffs.

to those who think Lateralus is "dark"... I'm not sure you "get it"
notapillow... i assume you've had some intense psychedelic/spiritual experiences
Parabola
Quote:
We barely remember who or what came before this precious moment, We are choosing to be here right now. hold on, stay inside... This holy reality, this holy experience. choosing to be here in...
This body. this body holding me. be my reminder here that I am not alone in This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion.
Alive!
This holy reality, in this holy experience. choosing to be here in...
This body. this body holding me. be my reminder here that I am not alone in This body, this body holding me, feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion... Of what it means to be alive
Swirling round with this familiar parable. Spinning, weaving round each new experience. Recognize this as a holy gift and celebrate this Chance to be alive and breathing Chance to be alive and breathing.
This body holding me reminds me of my own mortality. Embrace this moment. remember. we are eternal. All this pain is an illusion.
Lateralus
Quote:
Black then white are all I see in my infancy. Red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me. Lets me see. As below, so above and beyond, I imagine Drawn beyond the lines of reason. Push the envelope. watch it bend.
Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind. Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must Feed my will to feel my moment drawing way outside the lines.
Black then white are all I see in my infancy. Red and yellow then came to be, reaching out to me. Lets me see there is so much more and Beckons me to look thru to these infinite possibilities. As below, so above and beyond, I imagine Drawn outside the lines of reason. Push the envelope. watch it bend.
Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind. Withering my intuition leaving opportunities behind. Feed my will to feel this moment urging me to cross the line. Reaching out to embrace the random. Reaching out to embrace whatever may come.
I embrace my desire to I embrace my desire to Feel the rhythm, to feel connected enough to step aside and weep like a widow To feel inspired to fathom the power, to witness the beauty, To bathe in the fountain, To swing on the spiral To swing on the spiral To swing on the spiral of our divinity and still be a human.
With my feet upon the ground I move myeslf between the sounds and open wide to Suck it in. I feel it move across my skin. Im reaching up and reaching out. Im reaching for the random or what ever will Bewilder me. What ever will bewilder me. And following our will and wind we may just go where no ones been. Well ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no ones been. Spiral out. keep going. Spiral out. keep going. Spiral out. keep going. Spiral out. keep going. Spiral out. keep going.
Both songs, both musically and lyrically, are fucking brilliant
and i'd hardly call either of them "dark"
in fact, i think it'd be the other way around
