Check the sig.

Tool is my favorite band as of now. Yeah I'm pumped for the new album, but the only thing I'm bummed out about is the title. 10,000 Days? Doesn't seem to fit with the momentum with the others. But all I care for is the music. Did you hear the single will be Vicarious? Can't wait, it's too fucking far away!

i havent heard the single.....:confused: :confused: where could i find that?

It hasn't been leaked yet. It supposed to hit radio airwaves around late April. Here's the Billboard article.
Billboard (http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002237083)

And here's another cool site. It shows a bunch of secrets about them and hidden stuff in their songs.

Yeah the secrets thing is really cool. I found out so much more about Tool and it made me wonder.

As for the new album, it's going to be amazing. For five fucking years it better be. I mean 10,000 Days, is that how long its been since Lateralus?

haun

03-31-2006, 12:56 AM

do you by chance know anything behind the songs Parabol/Parabola, those are my favorite songs by tool and just wonderin if you know anything about them..

Ænema

03-31-2006, 01:02 AM

Here's what I make of it.

Parabol is a spelling variation of "parable" which mean's it's almost a "parabola." A parabola is a geometric curve which defines the title. Another analyzation is that it's the unity of two bodies together.

Other than that, another thought is that it sounds like "pair of balls."

I'm sorry, but on Eulogy that subliminal message that says
"I'm too smart when you're invisible by the bone and the symbol on you / so he bashes his skull through the window overlooking the sea / twilight amber ego / we were amused by this" fucking creeps me out. Wtf is that shit supposed to mean?

Ænema

03-31-2006, 01:25 AM

Yeah I noticed that too. It's not really a subliminal message though if it's in the song. But I know what you mean by the way he says it though. I really don't understand that part of the song either. I think it might be a storyline because the song is called "Eulogy" therefore related with death.

judge weiner

03-31-2006, 01:14 PM

I have heard that "Eulogy" was written about L. Ron Hubbard, although at face value I jumped right to the conclusion it was about Jesus Christ the first time I heard it. The weird lines very well could be just that - weird shit put in there which wasn't meant to apply specifically to anything.

toolnavy.com has forums where people discuss the meanings of tracks. It's really interesting sometimes but it mostly consists of 16 yr olds trying to act badass on the internet at eachother.

I just wanted to express my love for Tool. Their music is awesome and puts me in another world when I listen to them. Also, I hear May, 6 2006, Tools new cd is going to be released, i am extremely excited and cant wait to hear it. What are some other opinions on Tool?

I thought it was the 2nd. All new CDs are released on Tuesdays but I don't feel like seeing if the 2nd or the 6th are Tuesdays.

And supposedly the first single with be Vicarious and it'll be released on April 17

The title is supposed to be two conjoined words. Anima (some Jungian term) and Enema (a tube that goes up your ass). As far as I know, the æ is just a representaion of an HTML. If you understand the meaning of the actual song, you would understand it a lot more clearer.

Anima is spirit and enema is the term they use when you get your colon cleaned, but it's root meaning is "cleansing" so when they say Aenima, it's probably spiritual cleansing.

Ok genisis maybe. and you could even get away with purcupine tree. but Tool better than Opeth ... MESHUGGAH? please.

According to pretty much every definition I've heard of prog rock, they definately are a prog band. I don't see why they wouldn't be a prog band. Have you ever heard De-loused in the Comatorium? I'm guessing all you've heard is The Widow on the radio. If you've heard enough Volta, and you know what prog is, there's no way anybody could say they're not prog.

Let me just put it this way. It is a fact, that if TMV are not prog, then neither are any of your favorite prog bands. There's no such thing as prog. Rolling Stones played fusion jazz. Zeppelin played christian rock. It's just fucking absurd.

reggie jax

04-16-2006, 10:07 PM

They have an obvious prog element to them but I'm not bothered if people don't want to label them prog.. prog rock has this unattractive arrogance attached to it anyway.

Eye on the TV, cause tragedy fills me

Whatever flavor, it happens to be like

'Killed by the husband', 'trapped by the ocean'

'shot by his own son', 'she used the poison'

(unintelligible), kiss it goodbye

that's my kind of story...

IT'S NO FUN UNTIL SOMEONE DIES.

Don't look at me like I am a monster,

found out your one face, but with the other

stare like a junkie into the TV

stare like a zombie while the mother

holds her child, watches him die

looks to the sky crying 'why oh why?'

cause I need to watch things die...from a distance

vicariously I live while the whole world dies

you all needed to join in live

why can't we just admit it?

we won't give pause until the blood is flowing

into the grave you were born

(something) the story is told

we won't give pause until the blood is flowing

and I need to watch things die

from a glimpsing distance

vicariously I live while the whole world dies

you all feel the same, so why can't we just admit it?

(next couple of lines are very hard to decipher)

sink to the death rattle

(something) your desire to believe in

angels in the hearts of men

pull your head on out your (?) and give a listen

so they don't have to say it all again

the universe is hostile, so impersonal

devour to survive, so it is...so it has always been...

we all feed...on tragedy...

it's like blood to a vampire....

vicariously I...live while the whole world dies

much better you than I.

I think the reason they seem so overrated is because the people who are huge Tool fans are so balls out for everything they do that you would think they shit gold or something. I agree with you sparrky, I get annoyed with people telling me I don't 'get' Tool when I say I'm not a huge fan, although I have been listening to them since I was 15 and I'm 27. I loved Undertow and Aenima, but I didn't like Lateralus very much, and some of Maynard's lyrics turned me off so I stopped caring. However I must say that this new song has gotten me fired up for their new album. I have jammed this song upwards of 15 times because it takes me back to their older sound. At this point I could care less whether or not they are 'overrated', because I like what I am hearing and that's all that matters to me.

The stuff I downloaded on limewire sounded really stupid and gay, like some 12 year old tapping a microphone. I hope to god that isn't the new album, and they get the good leaks soon. I'll just wait to buy the album anyways.

And I wish they'd play a show in Winnipeg so i could see them.::(

50 bucks for an arena show in dallas is not too bad. incubus is usually 45 and deftones is always around 50. it is alot of money but it'll be an experience i'll never forget so i think it's worth it.

I agree, it's pretty hard to believe it is a fake. Shit I hope it is, then we'd get even more material from them. I don't know what would make anybody think it's a shit record, it's much different but it's definately not shit.

when lateralus first came out alot of people didn't like it because it wasn't like aenima. now people are expecting this one to be like lateralus. i'm glad tool didn't recycle lateralus because that would be a waste of a record. i love the new album and it grows on me everytime i hear it.

MGselwonK

04-22-2006, 05:39 PM

Everybody I know who got the album leaked (5-6 people) are still planning on buying the album.

I'm wondering if this is possibly a landmark in downloading music, an album that finally shows that people will support the band despite already owning the music. I usually dont get the album after getting most of the songs on it, this is an exception.

The song 10,000 days has such powerful lyrics. Maynard really expresses what he really fells, what with the death of his mother and the subsequent pain of loss. Awesome, awesome cd. If this disc was a joke ( which i doubt it was ) i cant fucking wait for the real one.

I sent some brokers some email detailing the feelings my ass would have if I allowed them to rape me with their pricing and I recieved an apology, an apology for me being upset. So I sent a reply asking them to instead apologize for 800% markups on their tickets. No further replies from said ticket broker. Not that I expect one.

And The Pot (my fav song off the new album thus far) is outstanding live. It was a great show and the band was flawless. they sound amazing live. it was an experience i will never forget. it was amazing. Hopefully they come back when they go on tour in like august. or at least some where close!

06-04-2006, 01:55 AM

Sorry to kick up an old thread but I thought I'd share some TOOL stuff with you. Some of you may know this already but I found out that the title (10,000 Days) does refer to Maynard's mother. She had a stroke years ago that left her in a wheelchair and died within the last few years. The amount of time between the stroke and her death was a little over 27 years, or approx. 10,000 days which explains the lyric "10,000 days in the fire is long enough, you're going home". Her name was Judith Marie Garrison (which explains the Wings for Marie song name). Also, there was a song called "Judith" on A Perfect Circle's Mer De Noms where the lyrics seem to show quite a bit of anger about her plight.

If you take the lyics at face value (which I know many don't) it would appear that Maynard strikes a bit of a religious chord in that part of 10,000 Days:

High as a wave, but I'll rise on up off the ground.
You were the light and the way, they'll only read about.
I only pray, Heaven knows when to lift you out.
Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough, you're going home.

You're the only one who can hold your head up high,
Shake your fists at the gates saying:
"I have come home now!
Fetch me the spirit, the son, and the father.
Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended.
It's time now!
My time now!
Give me my, give me my wings!"

Not saying he's born again christian or something, but it certainly is a far cry from something like Opiate.

I should mention that I didn't dig this crap up myself, I found on other various discussion boards and wikipedia.

All this talk about puzzles got me interested. Found this on the internet, i'm doing it right now.. it sounds awesome.

here's a puzzle & it might resolve peoples annoyance with Viginti Tres. This is truely beautiful;

three tracks from their new album are meant to be played simultaneously.

first, play list these two in this order on win amp or whatever:

Tool - Viginti Tres
Tool - Wings For Marie (Pt 1)

and play this one at exactly the same time, with a different media player or your cd player:
Tool - 10, 000 Days (wings Pt 2)

it will only work properly if done exactly, the singing synchs completely at the end so you can tell if you did it correct.

*edited* look below for edited version.

If anyone can find a better host, then please do so, also make sure you people pass this around, let everyone hear it and so they can save it as a MP3 files so they dont go through the trouble setting it up all the time. So pass it around.

also if the limit runs out, let me know, I'll be more than glad to upload it again.

Can someone upload this to youtube or something because it wont work on my computer, im not very computer savy.
BTW what did you guys think about 10 000 days? I honestly thought it was amazing and I am definetly gunna try to make it to their next Canada show.
Honsetly I think it was better than Lateralus. Very surprised. It definitely fit my standards.

Here are some more Tool secrets for 10,000 Days.
The artwork for 10,000 Days consists of stereoscopic images. These images are created by using 2 photos that are slighty altered from each other to form one complete picture. Wings For Marie is created by using 2 audio tracks (Wings pt 1 & pt. 2) to form one complete song.
The stereoscopic images of the 4 band members all have the number 11 represented in the same section of their pictures on the right side:
Danny - Flower stems represent 11
Justin - Arm holding the bird is pointing towards the 11 visible candles on the table. It is important to note that there are actually 12 candles, 11 visible and 1 hidden.
Maynard - The hands on the clock is pointed at 11
Adam - 11 glass jars on the desk (his right hand points in their direction)
---------------------------------------
The album cover art is 3 faces that form 1 face. Wings For Marie is 3 separate tracks that form 1 complete track.
Cryptic hints such as song titles like Lost Keys, Right In Two and the lyric in the song Rosetta Stoned: "A message of hope for those who choose to listen
---------------------------------------
There's two points in the song 'Intension' when played backwards says "Work hard. Stay in school. Listen to your mother. Your father is right."
---------------------------------------
