Tool!

[Donut]

Ok, this time I did a lot of searches, but I couldn't find a thread dedicated to Tool. Tool is as you probably know a progressive metal band, with Maynard James Keenan as vocalist, Danny Carey on drums, Justin Chancellor on bass, and Adam Jones as guitarist. These four guys are totally, totally kickass.

I just love Tool, but right now I'm having a break from Tool... I've used to listen to them 24/7 pretty much, and I kind of know all of their lyrics... Almost, anyway.

So, anyone on here who likes Tool?

[blackfox]

I own Tool's most recent cd. Favorite song would have to be Vicarious. Overall, Tool is a good band, there worth listening too. :D

[Captain BenZ]

I like their song "The Pot", it gets me so intoxicated and sucked in, I get into a trance when I listen to it, haha.

[Donut]

Cool blackfox ^^ You should check out the album Lateralus... It's well worth it- AENIMA is one of the better albums as well. ^.^

And Captain, yeah some of Tool's song really has that effect on me... Two songs I can think of that gets me into a "trance" are Ticks & Leeches (Ticks & Leeches (Nvm the whole Final Fantasy thing... It's the vid with best sound quality I could find... -.-) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uFDrW1rQLA&mode=related&search=), and Parabola (The Parabol/Parabola video, it's two songs that belong togheter, and Parabol doesn't start until like 3-4 mins (Beware, it's kinda messed up...) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiV_ue-PbL4)

Tool is freaking awesome.
If you like one of their songs, you get addicted to it, fow a while.
And then you get addicted to another song.

Tool kicks ass.

[yahhzoo]

Tool is a great band. @ Rikku those vids are pretty cool.

[Asuka]

I just listen to some Tool the other day. They're really good. My co-workers been bugging me to listen to them because the singer was the lead singer of A Perfect Circle and I love them.

[Donut]

Maynard James Keenan is teh shit!

Although I think he fits better in Tool... But he's awesome in APC asweel =)

[Hugoinaboxlives]

Oh, Pet is an awesome APC song.

If you listen to APC, you'll love Tool. Not by instance, thou, but after a while. Just keep them on your daily playlist or something, in a while, you'll love it. You can't listen to Tool and dislike it.

[angelicdesire]

I love tool
well i have a few favorite songs

Vicarious, The pot, Schism, Parabol, Parabola, Right in two,

alot of their new stuff i love.

And yes APC is awesome. Maynard is awesome in both bands imo, his voice is so perfect for both. I do have APC cd's, but havn't gotten Tool's cd's yet. I will soon.

[sim]

my favourite band.

check out the albums Undertow and Ænima.

MJK is pretty much one of the greatest singers ever IMO, i've got some bootlegs of some of their earlier gigs and he hits every note spot on.

[.Rik-uh-shey]

Is this another band that cant play their instruments like Green Day or Fall Out Boy? or can they play?

[yahhzoo]

Tool is on a way different wavelength than fall out boy or green day are on. Check tool out you might like it.

[.Rik-uh-shey]

i read that they were influenced by my favorite band... LED ZEPPELIN!!! ill check them out..

[Donut]

WTF 13th!? Check out my links above, they're really talented. Their drummer is the best drummer I know, imho. Drumming in Ticks & Leeches is just excellent, and the guitarist is like the 74th best in the world...

And Maynard has an awesome voice. All I can say is check them out.

[.Rik-uh-shey]

the best two drummers in the world are John Bonham-R.I.P. and Neil Peart. anyways, i think that tool is a pretty good band. better than any other modern crap ive heard.

[Zeonic]

Tool = win. My favorite band. Their old stuff is still my favorite, like Sober and Forty-Six & 2. And then the drummer, while not the best, certainly is good. Ticks and Leeches is a good example.

Plus, their music actually has meaning behind them. Forty-Six & 2 deals with things like Jungian psychology and the next step in human evolution. Wings For Marie Pts 1 & 2 is about Maynard's mother who was paralyzed for about 10k days before dying.

[Hugoinaboxlives]

Wings For Marie Pts 1 & 2 is about Maynard's mother who was paralyzed for about 10k days before dying.

Wow....
10,000 Days in the fire
Is long enough
You're going home Makes a lot more sense now... Yet even more beautiful.

[Donut]

Hugo you noob, didn't you know? xD

The whole album 10, 000 Days is dedicated to his mother, Judith Marie Keenan, I think that's her name, anyway. And the song "Judith" that Maynard sings with APC is also dedicated to her. If you listen to it you'll notice...

[Hugoinaboxlives]

Hugo you noob, didn't you know? xD

Hey, I listen to it!
I'm not analyzing it.

I defend myself by the chorus of Lateralus, and thus claiming that my mind likes my body.

[DespoticWalnut]

TIED FOR BEST BAND EVER!!!
ok got a little excited, the only band i could ever think could compete is the well known and loved Red Hot Chili Peppers. seriously though, these guys kick ass. if you have any taste in good music you need to check these guys out.

[elzee]

Tool is one of those bands that will ALWAYS be what they want not what they think is "in" and thats what i love about them when i first herd them i didint like them then i started making my own music and one of my biggest influences in my vocals is Maynard i now love the feeling tool gives me when i put in a cd and they are insane live you don't know if your a true tool fan till u see a show

[DespoticWalnut]

I'd have to say one of my favorite songs is lateralus, it's amazing. Although all their songs kick ass it's hard to choose one. By the way, Rosetta Stoned is crazy shit.

[elzee]

mine would have to be The Pot or H. because i don't know why but i just love those two songs maybe its just the vibes they give off really relaxes me

[elzee]

any one herd that Wings for Marie, 10,000 Days and Viginti Tres are meant to be synched (played together) to make a 'hidden' track? if you like i can put up a link to the download i found where some 1 did it :D

[cetamora]

Tool is, as many others already have pointed out, awesome! One of my,, say top 20 favourite.. band,, maybe top 30 hard to say (have around 200 favorite bands lol)

Love their earlier work and as all of thei ralbums, 10.000 days was hard to get in to.. took a few listenings. But it's almost ridiculously hard and mean.. amazing how they can make so evil music (and I can listen to pretty rough doom and death metal :p).. pretty wicked band in general.

[elzee]

i think its cool how they are all really smart. for those of you who don't know they are all mathematicians. and some of the artwork they do is actually mathematical drawings.

[Donut]

Yeah, I've heard Wings for Marie, 10,000 Days and Viginti Tres synchronized, and that song is a masterpiece. Everything comes togheter.

As for them being mathematicians, isn't that only Maynard?

[Yanniv]

Hugo you noob, didn't you know? xD

The whole album 10, 000 Days is dedicated to his mother, Judith Marie Keenan, I think that's her name, anyway. And the song "Judith" that Maynard sings with APC is also dedicated to her. If you listen to it you'll notice...

Yeah, I like the APC song Judith mixed by the guy from Nine Inch Nails. One of the better songs out there, in my opinion.

[Donut]

Aye, Nine Inch Nails are my 2nd favorite band... Check out their first album, Pretty Hate Machine, and their two latest, With Teeth and Year Zero.

[chaosadept]

Tool is awesome, I got all their albums. My favourite one is Aenima. :)

And yeah NIN are excellent as well, With Teeth has dissapointed me a bit at first but turned out to be OK after having listened to it a few times, and Year Zero has raisen the level a bit again, excellent album. :musak:
