This was on Adam’s IG a couple years ago. “Relax your vision and gently cross your eyes a little less or a little more so the two dots fuse or merge into three. Once they snap together, the two images will reveal an extra middle third image in 3D. Enjoy.” - Adam
Jfc no wonder Adam is such a douche lmfao 😂
Hey my peeps, have a serious question here...
Did anyone else buy tickets from Viagogo??
Please tell me they're legit.
I got 2 VIP tickets for the Monterrey Mexico show.
I brought them on Halloween night. They said they are going to send the tickets in the mail to my address. If they don't arrive in time they're going to send it to my hotel.
Did anyone else do this? Please say yes. But don't lie lol.
I am terrified that I just f***** myself
Here is their info on my tickets
I love king crimson and I started listening to tool after king crimson, just by listening to Adam jones I realized how much he was influenced by Robert fripp, I’m just wondering if anyone here even knows who king crimson is.
I’m curious what my fellow tool lovers like to read. I’m rereading Siddartha for like the dozenth (is that a word?) time. I finally took the time to read the short biography of Herman Hesse and it really emphasized his distrust of authority. This obviously got me thinking about Tool - and Siddartha has tons more parallels to some of Tool’s works: Jungian Pyschology, journey into and through the self, plagues of the material world.
My other favorite book is Flowers For Algernon, which, due to being heavily inspired by Plato’s Analogy of the Cave, has lots of similarity to Rosetta Stoned. Both deal with coming out of the “darkness” (ignorance), being thrust into the “light” (understanding) and then being unable to comprehend/recount what just happened when you settle back into the real world.
I’d love to know what y’all are reading whether it be novels, nonfiction, short stories, whatever!? And it doesn’t have to have as obvious tool parallels like the two I mentioned; I just figured this sub might have some people with similar taste and good recommendations.
My favorite tattoo ❤️
Stripper is in added bonus (?)
That sound that I can’t begin to describe at the start of Stinkfist, is that the bass or some other effect? If it is, what effect makes that sound?
I'm done pretending that Chocolate Chip Trip is a lame jerk for musical nerds. It's more socially acceptable than half of TOOL songs that are filled with pseudo spiritual lyrics and ear piercing talkbox guitar solos. Pretentious crap.
Put Chocolate Chip Trip on at any reputable nightclub and people start freaking out chewing their jaws with dilated pupils more than they already are.
Fuck getting the whole band in the studio, for the next album let's just have Danny and Joe Barresi make six 10 minute drum solos and 3 filler songs of Danny hitting the gong with whale noises in the background, I'd shut up and buy that record a million times over.
Keenan went under the alias "Gaylord C." while collaborating with Tim Alexander of Primus and Mike Bordin of Faith No More on "Choked",[25] a track on the 1997 drumming compilation Flyin' Traps.[26]
Forgive my Dad jokes, but because I’m a teenage girl, and not a Dad, nobody I know appreciates them, but since I’ll most likely never meet any of you, I don’t care if it annoys you or not! But seriously, I did actually see him making coffee 😂
It’s been 25 years since I first heard TOOL, and honestly, this might not be a big deal for TOOL fans in the U.S., but I’m so hyped and euphoric right now! I missed their last shows in Mexico and Texas, but I finally got my tickets. Today’s a good day!
Hey TOOL peeps I really need your help My birthday is March 12th and as you all know they're playing Monterey Mexico on the 12th. I am trying to buy tickets but the only way to get them is to have them shipped somewhere in Mexico How on earth do I do this please help me ASAP
I’ve always been aware of Tool but I’m only starting to REALLY get into them and I was wondering if there was any kind of Tool archive of stuff like art, music, demos, stems, etc much like nindestruct.com?
