The definitive TOOL thread - Page 9

Just because he doesn't play technically in Tool doesn't mean he isn't capable... I mean, his guitar playing has loads of atmosphere in it, which to me is much more difficult to achieve/worthy of praise than simply practicing until you can play really fast/technical shit.

I like most of their music, just get pissed off with their pretentious little filler tracks that Maynard tries to say mean something when obviously are just pure time wasting.

10,000 days has too many fillers. thats the main problem there really.

has everyone recognized the two tracks to be played at the same time? the wings for mary tracks and the virginti-tres? does anyone else know what im talking about?

I loved tracks like Lipan Conjuring off 10,000 Days. Most people describe this as filler, but it has a nice atmosphere and theres nothing really wrong with it to me.

im talking about tracks like useful idiot, ions, faaip de oiad etc. theyre just bullshit peices of music, if youd call it that, that waste peoples time. the worst part about it is the fact that maynard claims they have significance. what significance is there in 4 minutes of thunder crashes? or 40 odd seconds of static that gets louder? if theyre meant to be an intro to a song then fine, but they don't stand up as singular tracks.

useful idiot is basically the sound of the end of a record.

not just 'static'

either way, i too hate tracks like that.
