Then listen to my band! We're a crappy screaming band that has been playing together for about 3 months now. We have upcoming shows in Cleveland and Dayton. We're also personally putting on a Multiple Slerosis benefit show in August.

We hate our name, hence we're changing it soon

Your argument is like a two legged dog with an eating disorder...weak and unbalanced.
MAYNARDOWNED!
I dont like that kind of music, but the quality of the recording is pretty horrible... so I cant really pass judgement.
Tool is cool.

Ive seen MANY MANY people write on what they think it means.
This is what i like the most about Tool though, its like a really good Poem, any intelligent person can grab meaning from it, and the two meaning dont necisarily have to agree.
I will admit i was slightly taken aback when you said you were a Christian Tool fan, as many Christians friends i know hate Tool because of that very song.
</me is really scared that hes just begun another 100page religious debate.....>
To be honest I had never associated that song with Jesus at all, but looking at the lyrics now, I can definitely see that...I guess I never listened to the "get off your fucking cross" or payed too much attention to any of the words after awhile...I have a tendency to listen to a song while doing something else, so I hear the first few words, and then just sorta zone out and concentrate on what I'm doing...and I usually listen to Tool while I write. (makes things more intense and I usually end up thinking of something inciteful because of various lines)
Well, like anything else with Tool, it could be seen as having many meanings, from martyrdom to a know-it-all douche who happened to die. I personally like the song and always listen to it, because it's a nice segue into H...But I think that it's one of those things that is what you make of it...In all likelyhood he probably is talking about Jesus and the hypocrisy of many Christians (he seems to believe that we are all hypocrites save for his mother) But with all poetry, you can grab what you want from it...personally I've always taken it as someone who had a high and mighty attitude and ended up paying for it in the end.
Don't be surprised when I say that I like something like Tool though, I have a high appreciation for art and anything creative...and Tool has some of the most beautifully written songs of any band that I've ever heard, most people just don't want to see past the anger...I see Maynard as a genius, a tortured and somewhat lost genius, but a genius nontheless.

I always took the song Eulogy to be about Bill Hicks, since there's a couple songs on the album about him, or that reference his work.
Check out some of his comedy routines. The whole Arizona Bay thing is from one of his bits. There's some other lines of his throughout the album, as well as the painting of him.
The above quote is attributed to Danny Carey
1. Aenema
2. Eulogy
3. Third Eye
4. Pushit
5. 46 & 2
According to a recent study at Johns Hopkins, these are the 5 best Tool songs, in no particular order.

See, I don't like third eye that much, and 46 and 2 is just...okay...and how can you say 10,000 days sucks? The first 5 songs it are all friggen great...and so are the last three (not counting Viginti Tres) Every Tool CD has random crap stuck in the middle...but I think 10,000 days is anything but putrid.
I do really like pushit though, and Aenema is good for when I'm really mad...I guess I'll list my top 10 so you get a better idea
1: Schism
2: Jambi
3: Sober
4: H.
5: Wings for Marie
6: Pushit
7: Stinkfist
8: Right in Two
9: Intolerance
10: Ticks and Leeches
An honorable mention goes to DIe Eier Von Satan, and Latarallus

Wings for Marie, Part 2...honestly, how can you say that this song sucks? Can you really not feel the emotion put into this song?
We listen to the tales and romanticize
How we follow the path of the hero
Boast about the day when the rivers overrun
How we'll rise to the height of our halo
Listen to the tales as we all rationalize
Our way into the arms of the savior
Feigning all the trials and the tribulations
None of us have actually been there
Not like you
Ignorant fibbers in the congregation
Gather around spewing sympathy, spare me
None of them could even hold a candle up to you
Blinded by choices hypocrites won't seek
But enough about the collective Judas
Who could deny you were the one
Who would have made it?
You'll have a piece of the divine
This little light of mine
The gift you passed on to me
I'm gonna let it shine
To guide you safely on your way
Your way home
Oh, what are they gonna do
When the lights go down
Without you to guide them all to Zion?
What are they gonna do when the rivers overrun
Other than tremble incessantly?
High as a wave,
But I'll rise on up off the ground
You are 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 fist 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
You are the light, the way
That they will only read about
Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance
Burden of proof tossed upon all non-believers
You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence
Judith Marie, unconditional one
Daylight dims leaving cool fluorescence
Difficult to see you in this light
Please forgive this bold suggestion
Should you see your maker's face tonight
Look 'em in the eye
Look 'em in the eye and tell 'em
I never lived a lie, never took a life
But surely saved one, hallejullah
It's time for you to bring me home

You dont even need a pro-studio these days.
Just send your stuff away to get mastered.
Mastering involves getting dressed up in ceremonial robes, burning insence chanting to the EQ god and other various black magic stuff.
IE leave mastering up to the professionals as they are the only ones who understand why a rock song sounds like a rock song
Actually what I meant is that they could easily get a better sound with using such mentioned programs. To me it sounds like they have 1 mic recording all their stuff. Sounds like the recording isn't even direct on the guitars...
