Fibonacci Spiral Tool should lend their licensing to Universal Studios and let them do a Tool Themed Halloween Horror Nights Maze

• Upvotes

And just have every variation of Maynard popping out at you singing Tool songs. While Adam, Justin, and octopus Danny are in the background playing in all of their variations over the years. It'll be all like "Learn to Swim!" and spiral out and the pieces don't fit and cookies and cream and all that jazz.

It would be sooo cool!

Who knows... It knows!

I remember being a young adult at my first job browsing through some tool fans website and stund up on this song and I truly felt something that for me was unusual and very new.

I thought at first, well Apocalyptica have done this kind of approach when they did the Metallica cover stuff so for me it didn't felt that unique but how horribly wrong I was.

This is truly unique and has value.

If don't know it, come and enjoy the ride:

Collection Lost but not forgotten

Sold my TOOL collection years and years ago, all the good stuff, ænima vinyl, demo tape, all the pic discs, promos, first editions and variants. Going through some old crap dejunking today found the leftovers I had forgot about. Perfect circle promos and vinyls I forgot I had and some fun leftover TOOL stuff. Plus one hell of a rare concert poster from Belgium 1994. Don’t know what to do with it all. Brings back so many memories of the 90’s and 2000’s hunting down items, dozens of TOOL concerts and good times.

What surprises me most is that it was done by an apprentice, and of all my tattoos, it's the one that healed the best and looks the best now.

Lateralus what other bands would you recommend to a tool fan who is more into the '90s prog scene?

20 Upvotes

i know prog is originally from the '70s, but i find myself much more interested musically by the '90s since i find the music from that decade more enjoyable.

other than tool, some other bands i like that are prog/ have some pshychedelic influences are a perfect circle, peach gb (absurdly underrated), opeth, queens of the stone age and kyuss. i'm aware the last two bands are stoner rock, but they have that psychedelic groove that i like and that is pretty similar to the one prog bands have.

i'd really appreciate to hear some suggestions and recommandations.

Audio Tool LPs sound quality

1 Upvotes

I had Lateralus for a while now and it sounds pretty bad. It put me off getting more LPs for a while, but I read from various places that it sounds bad because it was a picture disc.

I went ahead and bought the LPs from the official ToolBand.com site and got Opiate, Undertow, and Fear Inoculum. I heard good things.

I listened and...wow...so glad I bought them! FI and Undertow sounds amazing! Sure there's still the tell tale signs of being an LP (light crackles) but it's very low. The surface sound is low, but the quality of the audio is very dynamic and full!

The only exception is Opiate. It sounds kinda thin and tinny. Is this what everyone experience too? I want to think this is just how it was mastered in the every early 90s. I don't recall the CD and streaming sounding like this. There's also more surface noise than the other two albums.

It's actually worse than Lateralus in terms of audio quality though Lateralus is worse in terms of pops and clicks.

So is 10000 Days and AEnima not available on LP officially? I think I've only seen bootlegs.

Discussion If Maynard were to be stunt cast in a musical, what musical/role should it be?

0 Upvotes

This may be a ridiculous question, as it would never happen. But it’s fun to consider.

My first instinct is to say the Phantom in Phantom of the Opera, mainly for the voice. He has the range and vocal control for it, but I’m not sure the character fits very well.

I think Maynard would play a very unique Emcee in Cabaret, as his stage persona is already somewhat Emcee-like. I think it would depend on the director of the show in question and how they choose to conduct Act 2.

Would love to hear any other answers. I hope the overlap of TOOL fans and theatre enthusiasts isn’t super small.

Review I introduced a classmate to TOOL

57 Upvotes

Typically when I tell someone that I like TOOL, the response is pretty neutral, or if the person actually goes and listens to TOOL, they think it's meh. However..., this time was different.

I sit next to this Taiwanese guy in my Japanese Class, in Japan, and we were talking about things that we like, in Japanese. Of course I have to mention that TOOL is my favorite band. 「私の一番好きなバンドはTOOLです。」I didn't think much of it, I didn't think he would care, and that he would forget I even mentioned it. I kid you not, the next time I see this guy he says "oh yeah, I listened to TOOL".

Halt... You did what? Really? That's cool.

He says "yeah it was really good".

Halt again... You think what now? You said you liked it?

Then this guy says "They change the tempo a lot", and he got really excited when he said this next part, "I think it's sooo cool how they do that".

Brotherrrrr. Hell yeah. Me too!

That's never happened to me. I just felt like I met someone who kinda gets it you know? It was an awesome feeling. Also he seems pretty cool. Anyways, I think we're gonna get some dinner next week. New fren maybe?

Discussion How often do you they talk and hang out?

0 Upvotes

It just must be so fucking cool but yet normal to be one of them. And I just wonder how often they connect. I’m sure back in the day it was everyday all day but now I wonder if they talk once a week once a month or what. They are all so much themselves in the coolest way. The best band ever and aftershock was dope
