Guest Len B'stard Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 What an unfortunate name for a band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.wa.T Posted September 2, 2013 Share Posted September 2, 2013 They joke about the name alot. One of their band logos looks like a tool, both kinds. LolGood news, seen em 7~8 times, but not since Lateralus. I think I've read Pittman is doing something for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CheapJon Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Tool is one of the few bands left of the ones I would love to see but haven't yet. I won't get excited about new music until I hear it straight from MJK. Sort of like how I feel about Axl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st0n3r Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Great, great live band. But see them inside, if possible. Much better then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash Diet Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 If this materialized, then that would be extremely cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Dog Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Good news. I hope they bring it, I've had bad luck the last few years with bands I used to really enjoy, coming out with something new that, I don't know, was just missing something. I have faith in Tool though. Like others, they are one of those bands I've always wanted to see but never got the chance, tour would be great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 Nothing ever really grabbed me by these guys when I tried to get into them.Any suggestions on what I should check out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chevelle Posted September 24, 2013 Share Posted September 24, 2013 The common suggestion I always see is to smoke something and put on Lateralus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T.wa.T Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Nothing ever really grabbed me by these guys when I tried to get into them.Any suggestions on what I should check out?Off of their first album called Undertow: Sober, Prison Sex, 4° Undertow. The whole album is great.Off of Aenima: Eulogy, 46&2, Jimmy, Push it, aenima, Third Eye, Stinkfist. Another awesome record.Off of Lateralus: the Grudge, the Patient, Schism, Parabola.First half if this one is awesome but slows for the second half.10,000 Days has some good tunes but I would start above. If you like them then youll like 10,000 Days.Musically TOOL is as good as it gets. All of them are great musicians. Lyrically Maynard is out there and it takes sometime to figure out what hes singing about. I cant explain it but they are into obscure religions. I saw them do a bunch of club shows in NYC for the aenima tour and again for Lateralus. Freaking amazing, each show was great.When they moved into arenas, the shows lost a bit of their power, like you would expect to find in the smaller clubs, but visually and sound wise, Amazing.

classicrawker Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 All their albums are fantastic but I would start with Undertow as I think it is the most accessible....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewbacca Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Vicarious is my favorite song. Great riffs, Bass lines and lyrics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Sabbath Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Starting from the first up until the last. Usually how I do it, even after asking for suggestions Though I do typically look up a few one-off tracks before doing a full-album listening.Hoping I can get into these guys. Don't know why I never really gave them a chance before, though I'm still not sure how I feel about Maynard's voice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Jay Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 "Tool Moves Gear Into New Space - Maynard Working on Vocals "In speaking with Danny last night, he told me that the band has temporarily MOVED some of their gear into a larger space (across town) where MAynard is working on VOCALS for some of the new Tool material. I'm sure that he has already been doing this to some extent, but now he has more room to breathe and a better vocal booth." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
