Oh and I agree Blackbucket. Headphones are the only way to really listen to music if you want to grasp the whole thing.
Oh, and when I saw Tool in Houston a few years back, they were so disapointing. I do however think that had to do with the show format. They spent way too much time between shows. I was also a pretty good distance from the stage at a ty venue - Cynthia Woods - so that took away from it.
All that being said, when they played it was killer. Just too much crap like the hanging naked man in between songs.

Buy some decent speakers, loser.
no scott they speaketh the truth
If you get some heavy headphones, old school style, not those little ear pieces, then the quality of the music is unmatched, even by speakers. I agree, listening like this is the best way to listen to good music.
The Majestic Tori show WAS the bomb Manny I had like mad close seats, it was intense!!
Absolutely. Hands down, Sober is an awesome song. I can't get enough of that one sometimes.
Gosh I'm trying to remember the name of the song with the little clay looking guy in the video. That video blew me away. That was some great work. I liked that one too.
The TOOL VIDEOS mentioned in this thread are worth discussing. They are all the creations of Adam Jones! Like I said, you wanna talk genius, talk ADAM JONES. This guy is the freakin bomb!! Plus I've never seen someone play an entire show absolutely still and kick ass the way he does!
Oooh this is a toughy. Back when I first heard them I listened to there stuff non stop for a few months. It was all I'd listen too
Ok in no particular order -
Parabol + Paraboler (Lets face it its one track)
Eulogy
Forty Six and 2
Man theres so many others though, this list could have gone on for ages if I hadn't stopped there. Phenomenal band.
What do you people think is the meaning behind each of your respective favorite songs?
I'm interested to read your interpretations of songs like Forty Six & 2.
adam jones is to cbf as vince young is to me
Sober is my all time favorite, but I think Prison Sex is also up there.. that was my favorite album for a very very long time...
Scooter is just being an ass.
Reel Classey!
hooker with a penis is about a pros ute with male genatalia
Front row baby!!! The show was awesome, except for that during the opening act.
We had some damn that woudln't stop screaming during the show up in Dallas. I wanted to climb up to the Balconey and rip out her ing lungs.
Yeah, I'm glad they got her out of there before Tori started playing. I just wish they had miked the piano better - I was somewhere around 10th row, and I could hear the upper octaves really well, but anything below middle C got totally drowned out by the bass and the drums. It was better in Dallas where it was just her.
It's hard for me not to love her - we're both jaded daughters of Methodist ministers.
As for favorite Tool song ... I really do love Lateralus still. If I had to pick a favorite (which is hard enough) that would be it - though I do really love Sober as well. I would say Vacant because the lyrics are incredible, but it's technically not a Tool song, and it's only been done once live - I was lucky enough to have a friend send me the MP3 - it's supposed to be a Tapeworm Project track ... but that never has fruitioned. Maynard's deliverance of it was awesome.
i scoff the out of cbf for liking tori amos and he scoffs me for liking don walser
i didnt know she was so pops
Jekka - love your new avatar!
hmmmm the meaning of Prison Sex..
lets see:
It took so long to remember just what happened.
I was so young and vestal then,
you know it hurt me,
but I'm breathing so I guess I'm still alive
even if signs seem to tell me otherwise.
I've got my hands bound,
my head down, my eyes closed,
and my throat wide open.
Do unto others what has been done to me,
Do unto others what has been done to you
I'm treading water,
I need to sleep a while.
My lamb and martyr, you look so precious.
Won't you come a bit closer,
close enough so I can smell you.
I need you to feel this,
I can't stand to burn too long.
Released in this sodomy.
For one sweet moment I am whole.
Do unto others now what has been done to me
Do unto others now what has been done to you.
You're breathing so I guess you're still alive
even if signs seem to tell me otherwise.
Won't you come just a bit closer,
close enough so I can smell you.
I need you to feel this.
I need this to make me whole.
There's release in this sodomy.
For I am your witness that
blood and flesh can be trusted.
And only this one holy medium brings me piece of mind.
Got your hands bound, your head down,
your eyes closed.
You look so precious now.
( Show me something
Thought I could make it end
Thought I could wash the stains away
Thought I could break the circle if I
Slipped right into your skin
So sweet was your surrender
We have become one
I have become my terror
And you my precious lamb and martyr.)
I have found some kind of temporary sanity in this
, blood, and on my hands.
I've come round full circle.
My lamb and martyr, this will be over soon.
You look so precious."
hmm..... class? can we say "perpetuating a circle of abuse and violence will not cure your inner demons"?
Yes, well, Maynard is all about masochism - and so are a lot of the diehard fans. Not in the cutting kind of way necessarily, but in the living with mental anguish kind of way. Most fans don't listen to Tool to find a way out.
yeah.
i guess except for me. when I was big time into TOOL I was a cutter.
i was perepetuating my own little cirlce on myself.
The worlds best art is that which is brutaly honest.
Oh I didn't exclude cutting by any means, I know a lot of Tool fans that do - and I know a lot of Tori fans that do for that matter - I used to. But I can still listen to the music in a similar state of mind without the cutting, which is why I used "mental anguish" - it's more all-encompassing. It's all about having an outlet, not necessarily a way out.
When i saw tori at the majestic some Emo chode opened for her not a girl
It was some white dude on acoustic guitar and these chicks kept trying to go up to him on stage and they got escorted away hahahaha
I hate how my husbands name is associated with "woe is me" music.
Jekka - I'm not disagreeing with you. I know why myself and others listen to this music.
I was stating the meaning I got out of it.
