Like all Tool songs the meaning is always something different or other than what you may think for example Jambi was the name of the genie in peewee herman show in that song he is referring to material possessions as what is evil not the dark side of what you may think he is talking about losing his spiritual center within him. It is not hard to search the net for different views on their but I know my info on four Degrees is correct look up the real meaning to stinkfist ? you'll be surprised
@phobiaspasm its about anal sex...the anus is suppposed to be 4 degrees warmer than the vagina...i think its about tryin to talk ur partner into anal sex....
this song is about his freshman year at west-point in which the freshman class is called 4 degrees its about someone forcing their beliefs upon you in this case TOOL uses rape as an example of being forced to do or believe in something your against... the Calm beneath castles is direct reference to how west-point actually looks .... too all you ignorant fools you take this song about anal sex
i agree thier great artist and musicians and that there messege is really good and a higher form of expresion but this song in particular is about butt sex the but hole is four degrees warmer than a vagina
his singing in this is beautiful, so smooth in the verses, not even trying until he needs to put a tiny bit of grunt into it. so nice to hear him like this...
Tool will help you to a higher conciousness only if you allow it. I am only who I am today because of what these guys have chosen to do and put together in the form of music.
Wow Im absolutely dumbfounded you people are the reason Maynard is behind that screen in the video because of simple minded people like everyone of you that has left a comment on this video 2012 is comin for all of the sheep out there so Learn to swim,I know.... Parsites can swim... I know.
Tool is a band comprised of true artistic geniuses; in an auditory and visual sense. A lot of people describe feeling a sense of higher being when they listen to their music. That is because if you have an ear for it, you hear and intuitively understand the mood they are trying to get across with thier songs.
Tool will blow your mind; only if you are open to it. "pretentiousness" is irrelevant, and everyone that "gets" Tool will agree with me to an extent...
i agree with you completely. they've put me on the path to enlightenment (i can give more details, if you'd like.) their music has helped me reach otherwise unreachable elevated mind states. these guys are the real deal. i can't sing enough praises of this band and their craft.
btw, this song is about anal sex. 'with someone you love,' said maynard.
Acting like a dick was the correct response to such pretentiousness. Seriously, people going around as if they have accessed some form of higher conciousness just because they are listening to Tool should always be responded to with the upmost hostility and disgust.
tool did access to a higher conciousness , and one of the things that ive learned from their music is to take the message for me, share it whit the people that i belive might be interested and alowd the rest to belive and think what ever they want ....you should be worry about what you do with your existence is their problem if they want to be pretentious...we are all in this world just learning, some learn faster,.and leave the hate and hostility behind.
That is the attitude that makes every single person better than you. According to you, there must not be any other outlet but the one you've found. Why don't you open YOUR eyes and take a look around. Rather than open your fucking mouth in an act to just be a cock fuck. Good day.
It wasn't about mushrooms in anyway. It was about how some guy was talking about how his way was the only way to find himself. Where as everyone has there on outlet. Sorry if there was some confusion. Lol, I vaugley remember writing this to tell you the truth.
OK, it was probably to the bastard up there bitching the guy out for saying Tool is ungodly fucking awesome and taps into some really important modes of thought.
In which case, awesome, because that guy is a scrotum sucker.
nah man listen to stinkfist between 1995-99 and then listen to it now, he doesnt try as much as he did back in the day, back in the day he would put some effort into the chorus and the "I'll keep digging" part now he just kind of sings it instead of yelling it like he did back in the day
I would have to disagree with you on that. I saw them in May and again in November when they came BACK to Oklahoma in 2007. In my opinion, Maynard sang the hell out of the chorus your right, but then what about the teradackto scream towards the end ?
appleclipse bite your fucking tongue. Tool will never suck. As for your comment about Maynards reaction to the audiance, thats normal. He thinks were miniscule piss-ants, and hes right. were not worthy of being blessed by his empowering vocals. consider it an honor.
what sucks about live tool is that maynard's voice isn't in as good shape as it was during the opiate-aenima era, but when you listen to those older performances the quality usually sucks and the bass, drums, and guitar don't sound as good as they do in the lateralus-10,000 days era
JUST LIKE THAT!
