Good stuff :) that’s all that’s- that’s the post. Been a fan since I was in middle school and now 17 years later I’m just now listening to it in full. I’m mad and have to blame someone so I blame you bastards

I posted this before but I have since had him touched up!

Stumbled upon this on the basketball court.

lowkey was going to add a bit more … underestimated the difficulty hahahaha. hope yall appreciate it.

Ride the spiral to the end

Easily my favorite song to workout to. They never miss.

I made this Grateful Dead skull/Lateralus eye mashup years ago, and it got me wondering how much crossover there is between the two fanbases.

I discovered the Dead much later in life. I wouldn't call myself a true Deadhead since I'm generally not into jam bands, but their studio albums completely won me over, especially American Beauty, Workingman's Dead, and Aoxomoxoa.

How many of you are also into the Grateful Dead? If so, what drew you to them?

Super sick local crew T I bought years back… can’t find any info on it online or another one like it.

Today I bought my opiate cd, and completed my tool collection, all in jewel case editions, maybe someday I could buy the books of fear inoculum and opiate², I will need a miracle for salival at a decent price, but I'm pretty happy with these mfs.

This DVD is no longer available in Chet Zar's store.

>From Chet Zar's 2004 website:
'13 dark and lovely looping animations, many seen in Tool's live shows and unavailable anywhere else!

If you've been to an early 2000's Tool show before, these creepy looped animations will definitely be familiar. No Tool music is used, but some appropriate creepy audio takes it's place. Each of the 13 loops is only on average 90 seconds and all of them together runs only about 18 mins in total. 13 separate XViD AVI's and DVD art included. 1.16 GB Link below

Is it wrong that this is my favorite Tool song?

Every time I hear 'Stinkfist' I think to one meme of "Hedwig" from Split (2017) dancing in time to the song. I can't find the edit anywhere, after searching multiple times. Did I hallucinate such a clip, or is it just buried under tother edits?

I can't unhear/unsee it. When I see one, I hear the other. When I hear one, I see tother.

They’re playing at one of my local pubs this Saturday in Sydney. I believe they’re based in Texas. Fuck it - why not, something to do.

My rankings:

1a - Vicarious

1b - Stinkfist

1c - The Grudge

1d - Fear Inoculum

1e - Intolerance

It's the late 80's, you're a relatively smart young adult because your dad was a teacher, you got an army grant, you love KISS and you want to put on a wig and sang your songs good, what are you going to do, move to a gimmick city and go to art school on a whim cause you think you might make a career writing lyrics with a slightly interesting twist a little different than the other 50,000 other singers out there, no, a smart guy like that takes the safe route, buckles down and learns a trade and works his way up to manager. That is unless he had a plan...

Y'all might not realize this but by time Tool started Maynard was already 25, 27 by time Opiate was released. I don't know about y'all but by time I was 25 I had already read a ton of stuff, plotted and schemed many a failed schemes. Maybe for a generation hooked on video games and fast food binge watchable television, writing a book probably sounds impossibly difficult to most of y'all, but for someone who grew up in the 70's in a rural town with no video games and strict parents, reading and writing was probably his main source of entertainment.

Impossible!! Where do you even begin trying to plan out a high concept 20 album series? The answer, you don't, just open your history text book and most the work is already done for you, broken up into big bold chapter titles, The Stone Age (Opiate), Neolithic Revolution (Undertow), Ancient History (Ænima), Classical Antiquity (Lateralus), The Middle Ages (10,000 Days), Early Modern Era (Fear Inoculum), etc. And then fill in the spaces with other specific important chapters, Ancient Egypt (Mer De Noms), Ancient Greece (13th Step), and the many wars (eMotive) that shaped ancient Mediterranean and Middle East during the 1st Century BC. And what epic story about human history would be complete without talking about the centuries-long process of Christianization that shaped the world as we know it today, The Apostolic Age (V is for Vagina), The Roman Expansion (Conditions of My Parole), Medieval Christianization (Money Shot), Global Expansion (Existential Reckoning), and of course Christianity's most embarrassing blunder the period of The Salem Witch Trials (Normal Isn't).

20 albums? That's just a guess, but here's the logic. APC will possibly have 2 more albums, the 5th album will be about the late 1800's, the discovery of radio, invention of the airplane, and how those inventions influenced World War 1. A 6th APC album is only logical following the pattern that Mer De Noms was ocean themed, 13th Step was aerial themed, and eMotive was ground themed, repeating that pattern Eat The Elephant was ocean themed, 5th album will be aerial themed, and the 6th album would be ground themed, although I wouldn't be surprised if they stopped at album 5. But I also think it's possible their next release will actually be a double album serving as both album 5 and 6, also covering the invention of the vehicle, thus the 6th being ground themed. Get it, a "perfect circle", the wheel, cars, ok you get it.

Tool's next album will be the grand finale, album 8, covering the invention of Television and how that influenced World War 2.

What happens after that, nobody knows, there's plenty of recent history to cover, the Vietnam War, the hippy era, the moon walk, the birth of the microprocessor, that one time Richard Simmons accidentally flashed his testicles on television. If I had to guess I would say a 6th final Puscifer album would be about the period between the 50's and 70's, covering the birth of rock and roll, the love and peace era, Charles Manson, and modern religious wars. And then perhaps a surprise 9th Tool release, probably an EP, covering the birth of the internet, the war on drugs, nickelodeon moon shoes, the invention of skateboards leading to our evolution to go up and down rather than just back and forth like regular sports, and ending on a cliff hanger mystery of what happens next?

I already know most of you are going to say NO ITS NOT YOUR A SCHIZO, ok you're right, its not, i made this all up, this was dumb, sorry for wasting your time. I now return you back to your normal programming of blatant lazy karma farming and pictures of tool albums on zia store shelves.

PS if I get at least 10 upvotes I'll stop posting forever.

I just uploaded my latest synth cover on my YouTube channel and thought you fine people here might like it! I grew up listening to them a lot and this was a blast to put together and "put my own spin" on it. It's not a 1:1 cover and I even left some parts out or changed some stuff around. I just kind of started and saw where it went! Thanks for clicking!

Think the setlist for louder than life will be different than sonic Temple?

I’m still trying to figure out what is being whispered at 2:24 onward in HWAP…
