yeah, its great seeing them in their early days (92-94), they seemed so much more raw back then. not that I dislike them now (their live shows now are mesmerizing) but, there seemed to be so much more sincerity back then.
good stuff people, keep it coming!

How do you upload music? I've got a live recording of Tool covering Kyuss' Demon Cleaner that is most excellent.
While i'm posting, why do some people type Tool in all caps?

Going to have to wait on that Demon Cleaner clip until later, the file on my computer is messed up. Pretty sure I have it on a CD around here somewhere though. In the meantime, here's the version by Kyuss, just in case some of you have never heard of them.
What's with all the hate for 10000 days? I thought it was an amazing album. Not as amazing as Aenima or Lateralus, but definitely amazing. Rosetta Stoned, Right In Two, Wings For Marie, these all fucking rock. I never used to appreciate Jambi much, until I heard Jambi live. Now that fucking ruled.

 10,000 days is by no means a masterpiece, after lateralus its kinda disappointing. 10,00 days has its good songs, but its pretty damn repetitive, and vicarious is their worst song, ever. right in two sucks as well. it pains me to say all of this, put it is true.

hmmm.. i always assumed it was about acid, because the track before it that leads into rosetta stoned is called lost keys (blame hoffman). and albert hoffman of course synthesized LSD.

TOO true. I mean there are sonogs that I like off of 10000 days, but the entire album as a whole does/did not impact me like Lateralus. Aenima, or Undertow have.
But yea I hate people who could tell you they like a new album before they even hear it lol.

The first line of Rosetta Stoned goes:

yep. i feel the same way about 10k days. some are hit and miss, others are great, but as an experience, it isn't the same as Aenima or Lateralus.
Undertow as well is a better "experience" album for me, though i prefer single song is sittings from 10k days more (Rosetta Stoned, Jambi, Right in Two...)

In what ways exactly are they pretentious?
* making claim to or creating an appearance of (often undeserved) importance or distinction; "a pretentious country house"; "a pretentious fraud":
"Although "lachrymology" was also explained to be an inspiration for the band's name, Keenan later explained their intentions differently: "Tool is exactly what it sounds like: It's a big dick. It's a wrench.... we are... your tool; use us as a catalyst in your process of finding out whatever it is you need to find out, or whatever it is you're trying to achieve."
* ostentatious: intended to attract notice and impress others; "an ostentatious sable coat":
"Due to Tool's incorporation of visual arts and relatively long and complex releases..."
* ostentatious: of a display that is tawdry or vulgar:
See Wrenchdick
...Since you asked.
That being said, I don't mind listening to them on occasion, especially while influenced by substances. I would not ever buy an album though.

That's not pretentious. They were just explaining their intentions/desired purpose.

again, how is that pretentious? they have lots of visual arts and their releases are generally long AND complex. i am confused...

Okay, got me there. Maybe it can also just be viewed as non-conforming, or maybe they just like to have fun and push buttons on people.

ostentatious: intended to attract notice and impress others.
You mean their visual arts and relatively long and complex releases aren't intended to impress others? They're just doin' it for the lulz?
By your definition there, that would be pretentious. It could be argued that they're doing it for the art, but then again, I do art without plastering my logo all over shirts and merchandise.
"Tool is exactly what it sounds like: It's a big dick. It's a wrench.... we are... your tool; use us as a catalyst in your process of finding out whatever it is you need to find out, or whatever it is you're trying to achieve."
Essentially saying that they are what you need to become enlightened. Sounds fairly pretentious to me... or using your definition, like they are "making claim to or creating an appearance of (often undeserved) importance or distinction..."
Dude, I'm not saying that they suck or anything, I just think that the band members and a good deal of their fans really are snobby about Tool.

i know you're not saying they suck, i would never argue with someone on musical subjectivity like that. i think you are just getting that image of pretentiousness from their fanbois, because the band itself doesn't put itself out there in this way.

^I watch that video probably once a month. THen i get filled with feelings of jealousy and envy. Who the fuck are those dudes and did those guys know they were being filmed? lol. I wonder if they would have cared. I would absolutely love more of that video and also the video of them recording undertow - that was a good one too. anything behind the scenes id be into. Anyone got some of that?
