Tool interview

[shinigamixheartless]

6 years later, about time for another interview!

[kurian29]

Thank god for genius people like this in the world

[nathenism]

anybody heard any news about another album?

[TreverUndeadXpdX]

@nathenism It's been confirmed they're making another one, not exactly sure when but soon...ish. I read that the song writing is gonna be up to Adam and Danney, but I don't believe that...

[othaka666]

@TreverUndeadXpdX I heard it's scheduled for May 2012

[TreverUndeadXpdX]

@othaka666 I read that they aren't putting a time frame on it because people will start counting down and might end up dissapointed

[rmcfarland89]

@othaka666 I heard it will be done when it's done

[othaka666]

@rmcfarland89 Really? No Kidding! Who'd of thought....

[LastPhyrexian]

@TreverUndeadXpdX Toolband.com confirmed it. "All right, moving forward. No matter how many new TOOL tunes are currently complete, I will personally guarantee that the new CD will be released on MAY 22, 2012 (or MAY 15, 2012)."

you're welcome

[TheEthanOBrien]

The glow around danny makes him look so like Jesus :L

[katiiieanne]

Thank you for all the years of music, Tool. I am looking forward to more ! :D

[cherrylipgloss1979]

LOL info overload now. Time to go mimi!

[PS3gamerguide]

theyve lasted 21 years now

[nicknumetal97]

no seriously if anyone wants a band that sounds Identical to tool look up rishloo

[shagglez]

something from the same planet where come from TOOL i think

[MrGamerBazer]

@patriota54 spam!

[chinmaymenon]

If you like TOOL chk this School band from India Called "Molecule Rock" their song called "Malice In Plunderland" !!. MAYNARD FANS would surely dig this !

[APCFan227]

@chinmaymenon

They suck ass.

[2302lillymaye]

@APCFan227 yOUR A TARD

[APCFan227]

@2302lillymaye *You're a retard.

Idiot.

[1ManArmyOfDisease]

@ungodlyvomit technically there appears to be no one interpretation but that is a good theory. there is no way its about prison sex.

[300daysandnights]

they sing about subjects from Scientology to hookers with penises. hahaha this interviewer is an idiot.

[wbysniper]

@ungodlyvomit i have always thought that maynard made to song with a hidden meaning. maybe he was sexually abused one time or another during his childhood...who knows though. all their songs can be viewed from many different angles.

[TheOtium]

Jones looks like Jesus on the default picture for the video. 

[shinigamixheartless]

2:19 ..ahh this is why i love Adam :* lol

[MrBrooksGrant]

@ungodlyvomit why is it called prison sex if its about child abuse?

[WildDerpachu]

@ungodlyvomit The music is about what you want it to be about. If he wants it to be about prison sex it's about prison sex, stop being a pretentious dick.

Maynard has said it himself. He won't ever tell you what a song means because that's not what it's about... it's about what it means to the listener.

[BASEfuckingLINE]

It's called GREEN SCREEN.

[reynoldsGerb]

@BASEfuckingLINE sup dude

[TheFriendlyfinger]

Is there nothing better to put on New Zealand TV?? Seriously sometimes I'm ashamed to be from this country...

[green987983]

@TheFriendlyfinger

Im ashamed to be from NZ because of people like you.

[TheFriendlyfinger]

@green987983

You're probably from Takapuna aren't you? Well then you SHOULD be ashamed 'mate'. Don't worry it's going be alright...

[TOOLbottomfeeder7001]

I can see their AURA it's Huge!!

[aaron4ism]

REAL BIG FATHEAD

[cannabaster]

"Anybody can do it, I think you jus' have to have enough faith in your material and like I said or faith enough in your work and your bros that you're doing it with to say no to all the stupid ideas that come from record companies and advertisers and all the idiots that want to exploit you. ya know?"

[juslesstrash]

is it posible, that adam jones eventually is able to change water into wine???

[boogeymanfromhell]

10,000 Days! BEST ALBUM OF THE CENTURY!

[zelix10]

Adam Jones is a fucking genius.

[necronominate]

get down!!!

[Disposition446]

If we are watching a Danny Carey and Adam jones interview we all have one thing in common. We really dig tool. One thing i wanted to relay is that tool is so in depth between its lyrics and art work you will never really come to terms exactly to what the meanings are. Tool is like life. Alright I'm going to go masturbate to foot fetish porn.

[sandblastedXIII]

spilberg's 5'8" ....he's not short .... I mean not huge ...but not short ....short is maynard.....well who cares ....jones is GOD....

[Disposition446]

@sandblastedXIII Adam just wanted to name drop for the attention! not that he needs to. But I'm glad he did thats a very interesting fact indeed.

[back2thefutre]

donkey boner start to virgina crap

[soad604]

Parabola is an amazing song/video. Lateralus and 10000 Days are best 2 albums of this decade. Amazing stuff. I hope they come out with a new album 2011 please! Im not rushing them tho, if i gotta wait 3 more years for good album whateva.

[davethehostage]

I don't think Adam Jones ever sleeps.

[TheJames1233]

16 people need to die in a hole

[mytt88]

LMAO at 1.13 Its jesus!!!

[TheFunnyMan9113]

That screen behind them is flipping me the fuck out!

[precccciousssss]

Why are all these interviews from New Zealand...ahhh taste in music ....

[KillerDrummer88]

he's CHEWBECCA

[FEARHILLY]

he also did the aleins in the tank on one of the alein movies

[finalfantasiservii]

They should have got an actual fan to write that voiceover, it betrays ignorance.

Also, fush n' chups xD

[H8CHylde]

@finalfantasiservii I think they have who sounds like someone from monty python's cast interview because they speak 'proper' English. Besides would you want to be interviewed by some kid from MTV that knows nothing about your genre of music much less what you are trying to bring forward. Im just saying I'd rather listen to the British guy than a lil sleezy freezy spitting sentence fragments and pronouncing half of what he says learned through Ebonics.

[finalfantasiservii]

@H8CHylde Wait what. The voiceover is a New Zealand guy. Who is not a fan of Tool, obviously. I don't even know what you're talking about

[andyckybojangles]

no they dont write bout prison sex you jerk off

[H8CHylde]

@andyckybojangles the song is about butt secks though....I'm no proctologist but I'm sure that shit goes on all the time in prison.......................

[TEREBELARMY]

@andyckybojangles think it was a joke fuckhead

[nottwozero]

@andyckybojangles No; the line "Shit, blood and cum on my hands" written by Maynard on the song "Prison Sex" was referring to a bad family Christmas dinner he had.

[09prizefighter09]

i read he also helped on Predator 2 he comes out in the credits

[myownruin187]

They seam like such laid back guys and humble, till they get on stage and unleash an orgasmic sound!! I love this band so innovative and orginal!! Best band out there, just f*ckin awesome!! T%L

[tjdivers]

at 2.47 ...is that Tricky? 

[Jimlead]

Adam Jones looks like frankenstein. But he is still one of my preferate guitarists/artist.

[andyckybojangles]

@Jimlead he turns riffs into emotion and feeling of all sorts same i became a tool fan not long ago an i can already say he is my favorite

[Jimlead]

@andyckybojangles I so happy for their existence as a rock band! Rock needed some light and there it is !

[andyckybojangles]

@Jimlead yea i know how you feel with justin bieber an garbage like that around we need a band like Tool to keep us sane i meen who wants fast food music like lady gaga ??? no one but monkey see monkey do individuals .

[Jimlead]

@andyckybojangles Exactly! Tool opens you deeper meanings! "fast food music" !

[andyckybojangles]

@Jimlead thats why when a friend of mine went to see them live he could see a crazy lightning storm behind the stage because TOOL is the masters of the universe :)

[TheOtium]

@Jimlead

Nah he looks like the caveman from the Geico commercials.

[reazul95]

i dont know if it is beacause im baked but adam looks like jesus

[SomeUsefulIdiot]

@reazul95 You're just baked

[yotefwd]

best thing since Pink Floyd

[HarmonicEscapeArtist]

not to be a fanboy but TOOL is definately the most influential band of the decade and metallica well money and ego compromised them alot and they should be proud of what they did for music but enough is enough and death magnetic was a mainstrem failure

[H8CHylde]

@HarmonicEscapeArtist I hate to harp on metallica yet again but....goddamn people still listen to that garbage!? Thats like black spray painting your third eye man!

[fharids]

you should try listen to parabol-parabola when you're driving very late at night

[Zellps0]

lol the song prison sex isn't about prison sex.

[mitxke]

@Zellps0 thats the joke ass;p

[Zellps0]

@mitxke  >:[ im retarded.

[mitxke]

@Zellps0 hahaha

[H8CHylde]

@Zellps0 you're right...its about but secks......I'm lead to believe that goes on from time to time, willingly or not

[MrPhiberoptic]

by far my favorite musicians in the universe!!!

[gangstakikyo]

Adam is such a cutie

[patlavert]

Longtime huge fan here and I would say the reason they don't appear in their videos and have dark lighting at their live shows is because they are some mega fugly looking dudes haha.. but freaking awesomely ridiculous off the charts talented and creative all their respected roles in the band.

"I had a friend who took some acid...he tried to marry everyone in the rooom. He kinda tried ta f*ck my Lazy-boooy" lol classic.

[protpus23]

@patlavert dont u mean ecstacy, acid made him think he was a fire egine

[patlavert]

@protpus23

You are correct. 

[fillikemuz]

@patlavert maynard said in interview they do it so ppl dont bother them and their families. i dont recall which interview it is, but can find it on youtube. but they are ugly as well lol

[yalbik420]

I like the aura around Adam and Danny. it fits.

[sigourney17]

Wow adam reminds me of Dave grohl in some ways

[RndmG]

They didnt write about Prison Sex!!! THERE IS MORE TO THE MUSIC THAN JUST THE TITLE AND LYRICS AHHHH

[Germobb]

@RndmG I know. All of Tools music is more than meets the eye. Well unless your looking with your Third Eye(:

[bodymekanix808]

@RndmG Yeah, ridiculous isn't it? But you have to remember that the average person doesn't take time to explore the meaning of creations like this...they take things quite literally. And, of course, the average person is who news broadcasts such as this are reaching.

[cronos122770]

@RndmG Maynard actually stated that the song was about himself being raped as a child. So, if the song is an outlet for the emotion felt by its creator, I'd say any fan relating to or dictating what they feel its about, is secondary. Heh!?

[kupiddaexplicit]

@cronos122770 Ive never heard that, where was this?

[Elliemcel]

@RndmG

Its true. Maynard says it himself.

[MeDiaTrUck]

10,000 Days!  FTW!

[sHAd0W11591]

what is the name of the music video that starts at 3:26

[bettis36bettis]

@sHAd0W11591

parabola

[9burgerwuss]

@sHAd0W11591 stinkfist

[ViperSRTnACR]

Subree subree, failed to know about the eye.

[metallichika]

[Maltozombie1123]

Holy Shit....Danny's wearing sleeves.... hahaha.

[lateralusdrew]

prison sex aint about prison sex....stupid fuck . fuck this guy. gettin the facts wrong with the greatest band ever. shit fuckin pisses me off .

[SuperDali75]

what's "Prison Six" ?

[thetoecutterr]

prison sex....its not about prison sex....its about doing it to kids HA HA HA

[Karolcia1993]

Adam rocks;)

[OwnedRL]

CHEWBACA!

THAT'S who adam jones looks like!

[w26895]

holy shit!!!!!!!!!!!! youre right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! chewbacca XD i can't believe i didnt notice this before, but his face always looked familiar XD

[0uterHeaven0]

WHAT A WOOKIE!

[metallichika]

@OwnedRL chewbaca!? nyeh, maybe a little, but he's also a real cutie. much cuter than chewbaca lol ^_^

[byronickillz]

this def. attracted my attention(now)

[mc8lgm]

i love adams shirt

[WAKExxUPxxAMERICA]

"the same feeling we got when we were writing" = DMT trip

[killer429]

Wow, I learn something new about them everyday, I didn't know Adam designed the dinosaurs for Jurassic Park! Awesome!

[fatkidmd]

@killer429 He also worked on edward scissorhands for stan winston studios

[patlavert]

@killer429

He also helped create and make the "Pedator Spaceship wall of "alien trophy heads" in the awful sequel called "Predator 2" Starring Danny Glover.. It can be seen near the very end of the movie when Glover's character finds his way onto the Predator mother ship

[o0oFIZZLEo0o]

@killer429 I didn't know Adam wrote the music in a way which it'd tap into your subconcious

[TheTspirit]

@o0oFIZZLEo0o ya dude watch that music video on lsd it pretty much shocks you to your core and kinda hypnotizes you to remind you of who you really are. like a kundalini awakening. which is what the song and the music video is all about.

[bigligg67]

Where do I get that poster at the beginning

[notgoingintoit]

u dont

[Foolinaround1]

i like his village people t-shirt

[MentalWardDesign]

That's Queen.

[boogaman777]

LATERALUS=BEST ALBUM OF THIS DECADE.

[TAG037]

@boogaman777 couldn't agree with you more, i read something that said Green Day's "American Idiot" was the best album of the decade and i was like "Well, that depends on your view of music but Lateralus by Tool is one of the best"

[fillikemuz]

@TAG037 are u serious? fuckin greenday? well damn...tool got robbed lol. maybe they based it on the mainstream properties, well lateralus is for people with brains. anyway, u ruined my day...i hate greenday lol

[116connor]

Lateralus= Best song ever written

[MeDiaTrUck]

@boogaman777

In my opinion 10000 days is better.

[Prophecyguild]

@boogaman777 Decade? No no no no no.

Ever.

[boogaman777]

@Prophecyguild ur right actually.

[Zellps0]

@boogaman777 def good i like 10,000 days more just me though

[Lateralus180]

@boogaman777

century

[andyckybojangles]

@boogaman777 i can kind of agree but 10,000 days isnt to be forgotten

[MindstormRecs]

@boogaman777 Lol yea if all you listen to is Tool

[carbonquiznoz1]

@boogaman777 I think I prefer 10 000 days loll

[Avarice16]

Come back to NZ!

I really want to see Tool live

[thesatchmanrules]

Wait a second.....I just realized those elongated black things in the beginning are actually firework snakes. Holy shit, I can't believe Ive overlooked that all these years lol.

[Flyingoutofadream]

They played a Roxanne cover at the nz Big Day Out

[ANotSoPerfectCircle]

any one else notice Maynard balls in the first pick :11

[Mcflashes28]

lol picture of maynard at beginning

[NeuroticTrash666]

agreed Spooner, I like Maynards voice but Adams the one with the sick video clips in his head just waiting to come out

[spooner113]

Adam's by far my favorite member of the band.

[killermind19]

adam is amy fav...he the ression why i play guitar love this band

[c23am]

Has that other David Farrier interview with MJK & Danny Carey at the big day out in the stand been posted?

[t00lisg0d]

wish tool wud cme back 2 new zealand....i will b fullfiled if i get 2 1 of thea concerts..my all time favourite band!!!!!!!!

[robertojaen]

is it me or Adam Jones wuold have been the perfect caveman in 10,000 BC?

[dapenguin64]

hahahahha

[Mcflashes28]

are Maynard balls out?

[SlaughteredInside]

I wasnt very impressed with 10,000 days.

Ive been listening to Tool since I was in 3rd grade.

I think all their other albums are astounding, Aenima probably my fav.

[Infow1433]

u speaking sum bullshit

[RndmG]

Why was this thumbs downed?

[lateralusgmod]

opiate my fav its pure. but all albums in my opinion are all equaly my fav just if i had to pick

[bmarrero]

Same for me , Aenima best album of all times,

Pushit most beautiful song of all times and Stinkfist , catchiest piece of art ...Just my feeling.

[t2klilt]

lol "from christainity to prison sex" prison sex is about child abuse

[7tonty7]

Maynard said himself, It's really about any and all cycles of abuse.

[youknowyourrite1]

their vids are very unique to say the least.

but i am definatly not disturbed by them.

in fact they,especially the stinkfist one,

just reminds me of house on haunted hill(the remake one)

[nathenism]

most uniqe band...

[AFaltersImbrue]

They don't sing about christianity :/

Maynard is completely against it.

Tool's music is spiritual with a dark feel to it. It's helping you along a path on whatever you see in a mirror. It's all about finding yourself and opening your mind to things. It pains me when people say they're all about religion. Eh whatever.

[airsoftsniper4307]

Agreed, why does everything have to be about religion?

Tool's music is about opening your mind and exploring the world out there.....

[DimebagsLeftToe]

haha so true. they dont sing about prison sex either

[Evolution10X]

Actually while it might be a metaphor, they did sing about Prison Sex: Released in this sodomy. For one sweet moment I am whole.I have found some kind of temporary sanity in this shit blood and cum on my hands. I've come round full circle.

To me its about the struggle to keep breathing after a person gets molested, until they become the complete opposite of what they were before...I think out of all Tool's songs, this one is meant to be the most literal with 2nd: Hooker 3rd: Ticks & Leeches

[elenayuan]

10000 days should be the first IMO.

[canesrule96]

yeah they dont sing about about sex neither they do use them as metaphors however

[Evolution10X]

How could you say they don't sing about Christianity? Wings for Marie 1 & 2 are about Judith's unconditional christian faith even though she was paralized for 27 years and now is her time to demand her wings (reward). While Maynard may not certainly be a believer and by all accounts is very against religion, he definitely wrote some music pertaining to it.

[Mastashake678]

Wings For Mary is a song Maynard wrote for his mother who past away.

[Evolution10X]

Yea, thanks for the news flash....

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!

IMO the song is about Judith getting her reward (her wings) for the unconditional faith she had even when things in her life went wrong, such as being immobilized for 27 years... Listen to Judith by APC and then to this song, its like a follow up...

[trustinme26]

especially.. prison sex it isn't about that its about sexual abuse and how the victim eventually becomes the abuser..

[spooner113]

i think the reporter said that to capture attention.

[derekdamnit]

Also hence the name TOOL they are trying to open up are minds.....through the Tool being there music.

[thpsthree]

"The name is exactly what it sounds like; a big penis." - Maynard James Kenan

[derekdamnit]

I think that the members of Tool are 4 highly enlightened individuals. And they are highly self aware of what reality is and what is important in life. And my belief is they have attained this perspective on life through hallicagenics<spelled wrong------drug use such as others like Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison and Etc. And they perhaps have attained some level of enlightment but thats just my thought.....lol

[campilleishon1]

adam looks like chewvacca XD i love tool i think is some of the best music outthere sorry if i wrote something stupid im stoned

[SalvadorLovesNINTOOL]

I only own the Tool albums "Lateralus" and "10,000 Days" and both albums are fantastic. I must say "Lateralus" is far better though.

[Evolution10X]

You need to pickup Undertow immediately....Tool went through many phases as they progressed to what they are now, Undertow was heavy & angry; Aenima was distant & dark, Lateralus was unique & inspirational, then came 10K days which was sarcastic & bitter... Personally I can't wait to see what phase they go through next... Undertow will always hold a special place in my heart since it was the album that got me into the band, I was 13/14 when I first heard it. Im 30 now & TOOL is still da best
