Tool

[TWells]

Howdy,

Just wondering who here listens to Tool? Being a Christian im obviously not to fond of some of their songs (Sober, Opaite, Eulogy, Judith with APC) generally I dont even listen to the first two albums and skip most of the tracks on Aenima but Maynards lyrics have become much more enlightened with Lateralus (aside from Ticks and Leeches) My favorites:

Forty-Six and Two - love the way he combined spiritual evolution with human evolution

H

Track #1 - One of the best commentaries on American culture ive ever read...er, heard.

Pushit

Eon Blue Apocalypse/The Patient - 2nd favorite after 46 and 2

The Grudge

Parabol/Parabola

Disposition

Lateralus

Schism

Reflection

Yes, I listen to Tool's latest.... Not all that often, though. Better than radio station ****! (i.e. Nickleback)

 

[TWells]

I dont even bother with radio these days. The last period that I did they were playing Nickelbacks "Hero" constantly. That song epitomizes "cheeze" for me.

 

[Isis-Astoroth]

I listen to Tool. They're pretty good. Urg...nickelback...im getting sick of them. But then, every song on the charts here is played exhaustively til everyone stops buying the singles cos they are annoying. I only listen to X fm now...every other radio station annoys me.

 

[Mephster]

So, Wells, what else do you listen to?

 

[Mr.Pious]

I am more of an APC fan myself. The new cd is a masterpeice. Tool seems to be going down hill, I haated Lateralus (sp?)

Howdy,

So, Wells, what else do you listen to?

I used to listen to mostly rock but aside from Tool, APC, Pink Floyd and Pearl Jam im really not into it very much anymore. Other than that I like celtic and eastern music. I have a cd of various religous chants, liturgies etc from around the world that been into for a while. I still listen to classical alot...Beethoven and Vivaldi especially.

It took me awhile but ive really grown to love it, especially 'Blue' and 'The Outsider'.

[Axver]

Oh man, Schism is awesome. I adore that song.

I do like Tool and I do love A Perfect Circle. I skip the blasphemous songs like Judith.

5 days til I see APC in London! Wheeeeeeeeee!

 

[Mistyfogg]

oh yah, I am a big Tool and A Perfect Cirle fan. And I don't listen to the radio either unless I want to bash my head repeatedly against a wall every time they play a played out song (which is every song!). I just download my little heart out. Eventually the music industry is going to probably lock me up and fine me for pirating or whatever they are doing to people these days.
My favorite Tool song is probably "H" and "Lateralus" and for APC it has to be
"3 Libras"

Tool is awesome! i bought lateralus a couple months ago. i was surprised/dissapointed to read danny carey's (drummer) bio on their website. he's really into some dark stuff.
but their music is amazing.
i only have lateralus. i want apc's new cd. i wish their other cd's weren't so bad... (like, parental advisories, and christ bashing songs,) because their music is amazing.

i love maynard's voice

 

[curlyhairboi]

46+2 is my favorite tool song. danny carey is my favorite drummer, along with carter beauford of dave matthews band.

 

[TWells]

Carey's an incredible drummer but has some rather odd and in some cases downright stupid beliefs.

 

[DMBfanLongliveStrongBad!]

yes, a very talented band.

 

[DMBfanLongliveStrongBad!]

man i've gotten into tool again, thought i'd ressurect this thread...
anyone else have thoughts on this amazing band?

 

[Pseud]

Tool rock. Can't wait for the new album.

(I saw APC on Feb, they also rock)

 

[musiclover]

when does their new album come out?

 

[Out of the Flames]

man i've gotten into tool again, thought i'd ressurect this thread...

Yeah...I play Aenima really loud when the traffic sucks really bad... and sometimes when it doesn't. I love maynard- he such a talented guy. 46 + 2 was a great topic for lyrical interpretation back in college as are a lot of Tool songs.
