i agree, thx

I've gotta tell you something........

Last night I went to see a totally awesome Tool cover band. They rocked the place out but just as they were playing their last song (The Grudge), getting up to the mental heavy riffage at 2:56, the owners of the venue cut them off !!!! Apparently the owner didn't realise that 4 Tool songs would take that long to play (as they are all very long 7+ minute songs)

It was unbelievable. I had chills down my spine and was getting right into it when they were cut off. The singer almost had a fight with the owner over it.

What a night though. You have never seen real live music until you have seen Tool music performed properly live.

uh huh...I don't see what's so great about them. pretty much everyone I know on DA is obsessed with them, I see TONS of characters named after songs of theirs and stuff...I have heard a few songs on the radio, they weren't too bad but I still don't see what's so amazing about this band. the lyrics (well from what I see in this thread) aren't appealing to me at all...however. the other night I went to a percussion concert and they played "Schism" and it was awesome...so...I may consider buying that album or at least checking it out. :

that would be lateralus. great album.

i once thought all tool songs sounded the same and i really saw them as an unimaginative band... i was negative too.

but then i saw the light *choir sings hal-eu-ja*

sit down and listen to the album, through and through, and you'll gain some respect for their work. it's really amazing once you take the time to listen and get those negative thoughts out of your head.

Yeah, i like Tool too, Lateralus is my wakeup album (and it does a damn good job). Anemia or lateralus.. both great albums.

Recently I also am enjoyin Maynard's other band A Perfect Circle.. Thirteenth Step is a kickass album.

kid robot - I couldn't agree more. Persistence pays off. It was all over after I saw a concert
My dad got me Lateralus from work, and subsequently I bought the other 4 albums Can't wait for the new one...

TheUnknown - Thirteenth Step is great. The Package, The Noose, and Pet are my fav's

It's great to see that people all around the world are beggining to wake up, thanks to the efforts of artists such as these. That is all I wish I could be, an artist like that, just so I can help thousands of people awake to the truth...

And the speed will only increase exponentially. We're on the brink of something huge, and the older generations really aren't ready for it. Oh well, just about time for the wake-up alarm

Eamonn-Healey explains it quite well: http://www.prism.gatech.edu/~gte484v/wakin...eohumanguy.html

I don't know if this is to happen during my lifetime, but I do know that this revolution of the mind is to occur soon. I have always said that I have felt it, I know that it is near. And when it happens, all that I wish is to be here to see it happen. To put in my grain of sand, whatever support I am physically and mentally capable of. If I can do that the purpose of my life would feel fulfilled.

i have to tell you i was also just turned on to tool about 2yrs ago.... and now i cant go a day without them. i just purches the new album and it is amaizing.... i wish i could find the new album art online...

buy the album.

tool fixes that problem with stealing music online... they make the cd case part of the art. just like with laturalus.

it also doesn't hurt to support good music.
