Congratulations you are learning to deal with your problems instead of just whining about them. That's life, get used to it. there's not much of a chance it will get better but it's possible. better learn to be solution oriented cause you're going to have to work around problem after problem. Don't whine and don't look for recognition for how much we think we go through.
I am sure glad other people can relate to this music...And here I thought I was special all of these years~~~ haha,and just kidding my friends. I am just glad to be united with you all !
I think the adding shit are simply the negative events and feelings we methabolize in negative ways because of our fear of this evil world but even though we build a mask on our souls to protect them we neither feed them with positive sensations so we close our point of view on how the whole humanity and world suck and that shit adds more and more till we discover that our souls are fuckin empty
@TheHardCore89 but thank god for the mask! the whole world is not empty. Its only a perception. u will find something one day to make it all worth while
@333lillith yee that's what I meant,and what we're all supposed to do... I found smthn yet to enjoy life and this gift, this incredible connected net of spirits as the world is.. :MUSIC ;)
Uhh well hate to break it to you but a few of his lyrics are about buttsex or other butt-related acts, at least as a metaphor. Stinkfist is just self explanatory, the Enema is AEnema, 4 degrees as in its 4 degrees higher in your bum than the rest of your bodyk etc
For instance, shit adds up at the bottom, could be related to a foundation... You have to start at the bottom, and push, build, and grow, let alone evolve! Like a plant, starts as a seed, the roots pop, and it ascends to the surface. It doesn't have to be negative, but it depends on how you as a person percieves reality! If you want to walk around, with the belief, that everything sucks, well, then life will probably suck! The choice is yours!
Maybe, just maybe, people will realized that they have a totally messed perception of tools music truly means! Tired of people always thinking maenads lyrics are about anal sex! Kinda ridiculous to believe that he is so shallow! Most of his have to do with the human condition! Metaphorically spoken!
@ursusaltered funny part about this statement is that while not all of his songs are about anal sex, there is a song on this album dedicated to the subject matter (do you know which one it is?) and he has many songs TITLES insinuating the act.
@TheIllegalKind "angy enough or gritty enough " Really? Have you listened to anything off of the EP Opiate? Thats suprising. I always though his yells/screams were the angriest ive ever heard lol. Everyone has their opinion I guess.

@SpunkySkunk347 dishes add up? my bottom did not provide me with a kitchen, muchless dishes. bills? you need an address to get those. weight gain? that requires too much food and thats just....they say we all have different bottoms so i'm not one to judge. to all you fellow addicts out there, the sooner you figure this shit out the better. nothing worse than that feeling of being DEAD INSIIIIIIIIIDE. fuck my bottom is so low i havent listened to this album in probably 2 years. thats pathetic!!

Has anyone ever seen the movie "The Nine Lives of Fritz the Cat"? The main character in that movie (Fritz) really demonstrates what this song is about -- especially the scene where Fritz finds himself a refugee in the NYC sewers, and just as he finally realizes "Hey, maybe I should accept the minor distractions in life, and do something with my life", he is confronted by Lucifer. Fritz gets down on his knees and begs him not to take his soul, shortly before realizing that Lucifer is a faggot.

Lumped into the grunge genre? Someone needs to go back and really listen to the power of Opiate and remember what music sounded like in 1992. There were no grunge bands singing about those topics or with that refined power. I came here because I had to hear the Rollins part, what a combo. Glad I was alive for it.
@Ruklukk i feel like im the biggest tool fan alive but come on, "refined power"??? the beginning of one of the songs starts with maynard screaming "fuck you". "i can say what i want to, even if im just kidding". WOAH blowing my mind with those refined concepts. i love opiate and undertow, and those albums still get regular play with me. but you guys need to lose the hard on....alice in chains-would. layne staley made addiction sound beautiful and complex way before maynard.
@c9castine I love Alice in Chains, they changed my life. For my money the lyrics on Opiate are far deeper than those on Facelift (comparing debuts). Refined power comes from riffs like those at the beginning of Cold and Ugly. "way before Maynard" you are aware that Dirt was released in 1992 right? The best you can say is the bands released material in a parallel existence. Tool's energy was different than AIC, STP and Nirvana. Maybe because they didn't just focus on drugs and chicks.
@Ruklukk i am aware...and now that i think about it sober was written very early on too, but i see most of opiate and undertow as statements on society and relationships. aenima touched upon it, but again was more society and relationship oriented. it wasnt until APC-thirteen step did he really delve into the issue. so, your right about your last statement on drugs and chicks too. thirteen step was profound to me...i hate to sound like a douche, but that album literally changed my life.
@Ruklukk i misunderstoof your statement on "refined power"...i thought you meant more lyrically on opiate. there was nothing refined about that...it was pretty raw and forceful most of the way through by tool/maynard standards. which was exactly what people needed then, and thats why they achieved such success.
In Order To Survive You, I Must Survive Myself...I Have Gone To Great Lengths To Expand My Threshold Of Pain...But My Soul Must Be Iron...There's No Other Choice.
Without getting into the whole ridiculous Justin-versus-Paul debate, I'll just say that I miss that "killer bass" terribly. It was just heavy in an unusual way and made TOOL a totally different band separate from their hard rock peers of the era.
@Fakename70 you kidding me? i mean tool has always been different, but pre-95 they could be lumped into the grunge genre. post 95 with aenima and lateralus, they were clearly in their own world. i love paul's style, but the band grew tremendously after him, coincidence or not.
So, pre-AEnima TOOL = Mudhoney, TAD, Dinosaur Jr, and SUB POP in your mind then? Really? Are you sure about that? And, while we both agree "the band grew tremendously after him", let's not overlook the fact that that growth was on the strength of an album he helped write.
@Fakename70 dont put words in my mouth. i never say i thought tool was ever in a genre but you could understand why people would. they said themselves they were "slam bang" back then. and i also didnt say they wouldnt have grown tremendously with paul, because they already started. he wrote music for stinkfist, pushit, eulogy and aenema. ill also mention undertow is my favorite tool album, and i got into tool because of opiate. dont be so quick.
I merely quoted YOUR OWN WORDS back at you in my comments. Re-read what YOU said next time before responding. Maybe then you'll see how contradictory and nonsensical I've found your comments to be.
@Fakename70 you turned "could be called grunge" into a bunch of bands i have never heard of and sub pop. and i stand by what i said, tool could be considered grunge pre-95 but to answer your question, no, TOOL does not = those crapass bands. tool is >. and yes, im sure about that.
Really trying hard to not get dragged into this argument here, kid...
You clearly have a flawed concept of what particular bands encompassed the so-called "grunge" genre in the early-to-mid '90's if you've not heard of Mudhoney or TAD. And, especially if you think TOOL had anything whatsoever to do with the genre, pre-AEnima. Again, YOU made the "pre-95" TOOL=grunge comment, remember? I merely responded to it, as did someone else. I'll leave it at that. Have a nice day, squirt
@Fakename70 im 26, and ive been listening to tool since '93. as i just said YES I DID MAKE THE COMMENT. you clearly are unable to differentiate between be saying "could be" and "is". i know reading is tough but try to sound it out, top to bottom left to right. take tylenol for any headaches, midol for cramps. mudhoney is some early grunge band that nobody gives a shit about, thats what i know. that your getting so upset about me suggesting that one could consider tool grunge pre-95 is funny.
Respond to this video... i think we got away from the point here anyway. my point is that TOOL really started to seperate themselves after undertow. by the way, do you feel cool, like your a knowledgeable tool guy, when you capitalize the E in aenima?
@Fakename70 your clearly more interested in having an argument, and not a debate, as evidenced by your persistence in telling me my opinion is wrong and yours is right. youve totally forgotten what we are even talking about an are so absorbed in the fact that i suggest your precious godly band could be put into a genre. get over it dude.
Ænima. Is that better? Let's make a deal, kid: I'll learn to read if you learn to spell, OK? Remember, you're 26 now. You fail to see why your comment was so odd, not only to me, but, to the other person who called you on it. Re-read that person's 2nd & 3rd sentences in response to your comment that he & I both replied to and maybe you'll see where we're coming from. And, you glorifying AIC lyrics about addiction as "beautiful and complex"? BRILLIANT! Are you a stand-up comedian?
@skudstorm44 Thats awesome to hear, man! Kind of ironic, however, because this song is begging for "us" to never be sober (maybe it could be interpreted the other way?)
@djgeeter i agree man these albums are like my favorites the old maynard fucking kills but hey im not hating for shit cause maynard is my favorite vocalist
10 years ago, I took a contract job in Saudi Arabia. I bought this album, on cassette tape, and it said on it "Proudly Made In Saudi Arabia". I bought it in a tiny town where I was utterly alone, the only whitey in a town of 15K people, in the geographical center of the place. This tune reminds me of how I used to spend my 'time off' driving my Toyota Hilux in the desert, slowly going insane and loving it. Shit may well indeed wind up at the bottom, but I was on top of the world.
aaaaaaaaahahaha !!! retards .. Eulogy was not about jesus !!! read what the guys sais about the song ... you just want to be about jesus , cause you are atheist , and u want to personalize song !!! And thats just one thing that tool are sick of it !!
@nikolawesthemkg You are a fucking idiot. I am not an Atheist you dumbass. I am a Theist. The opposite of an Atheist. Maynard is also a Theist , as is the rest of Tool. They are all Theists who have studied Masonic history including Sacred Geometry, Theology, Elegant Mathematics, Astronomy, I could go on and on. They are into The Occult, not Christianity. The song is about Jesus. Get over it. You just WISH it wasn't because you are a Christian and you like tool. Sorry but that is the truth.
@nikolawesthemkg They will not say eulogy is about Jesus because he wants you and other christians to continue to give him your money.I think you should without a doubt keep giving your money to tool,they deserve it more that your church does anyway.That is why they say it is about L. Ron Hubbard because nobody gives a fuck about L. Ron Hubbard ecxept Tom Cruise and some other hollywood wierdos and they don't listen to tool. Anyway L. Ron Hubbard has never been on a cross.Just shut up and buy!!!
@j19318 as much you dont want it to see , in the song there are few facts that prove that song isnt about jesus .. i will not tell u if u are to dumb to figure out ...
@j19318 Wow that is so clever I see your trying to sneak in some Hooker with a penis lyrics. Oh ya thats right how could I know that song or even what its about since I'm such a posser. If people want to like Tool for their amazing music then that seems like reason enough to me. Who cares if people don't know what religon they are. You sir are a pathetic asshole. Shut the fuck up and just enjoy the music and drink a guinness.
@7jimmyjames Yeah man I had to sneak them in, They are underage. I must be honest, I am shocked that you know the lyrics to that song. Perhaps I should rethink your credibility. I think I will have a guinness. I like it at room temperature. How about you? btw Did you Know they made a book out of that beer?
@7jimmyjames Who cares what your favorite song on this record is? You are a fucking posser anyway. I seen all your little gay comments on the other to

@Ruklukk i feel like im the biggest tool fan alive but come on, "refined power"??? the beginning of one of the songs starts with maynard screaming "fuck you". "i can say what i want to, even if im just kidding". WOAH blowing my mind with those refined concepts. i love opiate and undertow, and those albums still get regular play with me. but you guys need to lose the hard on....alice in chains-would. layne staley made addiction sound beautiful and complex way before maynard.

@c9castine I love Alice in Chains, they changed my life. For my money the lyrics on Opiate are far deeper than those on Facelift (comparing debuts). Refined power comes from riffs like those at the beginning of Cold and Ugly. "way before Maynard" you are aware that Dirt was released in 1992 right? The best you can say is the bands released material in a parallel existence. Tool's energy was different than AIC, STP and Nirvana. Maybe because they didn't just focus on drugs and chicks.
Ruklukk 6 months ago
@Ruklukk i am aware...and now that i think about it sober was written very early on too, but i see most of opiate and undertow as statements on society and relationships. aenima touched upon it, but again was more society and relationship oriented. it wasnt until APC-thirteen step did he really delve into the issue. so, your right about your last statement on drugs and chicks too. thirteen step was profound to me...i hate to sound like a douche, but that album literally changed my life.
c9castine 6 months ago
@Ruklukk i misunderstoof your statement on "refined power"...i thought you meant more lyrically on opiate. there was nothing refined about that...it was pretty raw and forceful most of the way through by tool/maynard standards. which was exactly what people needed then, and thats why they achieved such success.

@romanagr
Without getting into the whole ridiculous Justin-versus-Paul debate, I'll just say that I miss that "killer bass" terribly. It was just heavy in an unusual way and made TOOL a totally different band separate from their hard rock peers of the era.
Fakename70 6 months ago
@Fakename70 you kidding me? i mean tool has always been different, but pre-95 they could be lumped into the grunge genre. post 95 with aenima and lateralus, they were clearly in their own world. i love paul's style, but the band grew tremendously after him, coincidence or not.
c9castine 6 months ago
@c9castine
So, pre-AEnima TOOL = Mudhoney, TAD, Dinosaur Jr, and SUB POP in your mind then? Really? Are you sure about that? And, while we both agree "the band grew tremendously after him", let's not overlook the fact that that growth was on the strength of an album he helped write.
Fakename70 6 months ago
@Fakename70 dont put words in my mouth. i never say i thought tool was ever in a genre but you could understand why people would. they said themselves they were "slam bang" back then. and i also didnt say they wouldnt have grown tremendously with paul, because they already started. he wrote music for stinkfist, pushit, eulogy and aenema. ill also mention undertow is my favorite tool album, and i got into tool because of opiate. dont be so quick.

I merely quoted YOUR OWN WORDS back at you in my comments. Re-read what YOU said next time before responding. Maybe then you'll see how contradictory and nonsensical I've found your comments to be.
Fakename70 6 months ago
@Fakename70 you turned "could be called grunge" into a bunch of bands i have never heard of and sub pop. and i stand by what i said, tool could be considered grunge pre-95 but to answer your question, no, TOOL does not = those crapass bands. tool is >. and yes, im sure about that.
c9castine 6 months ago
@c9castine
Really trying hard to not get dragged into this argument here, kid...
You clearly have a flawed concept of what particular bands encompassed the so-called "grunge" genre in the early-to-mid '90's if you've not heard of Mudhoney or TAD. And, especially if you think TOOL had anything whatsoever to do with the genre, pre-AEnima. Again, YOU made the "pre-95" TOOL=grunge comment, remember? I merely responded to it, as did someone else. I'll leave it at that. Have a nice day, squirt
Fakename70 6 months ago
@Fakename70 im 26, and ive been listening to tool since '93. as i just said YES I DID MAKE THE COMMENT. you clearly are unable to differentiate between be saying "could be" and "is". i know reading is tough but try to sound it out, top to bottom left to right. take tylenol for any headaches, midol for cramps. mudhoney is some early grunge band that nobody gives a shit about, thats what i know. that your getting so upset about me suggesting that one could consider tool grunge pre-95 is funny.
c9castine 6 months ago
Respond to this video... i think we got away from the point here anyway. my point is that TOOL really started to seperate themselves after undertow. by the way, do you feel cool, like your a knowledgeable tool guy, when you capitalize the E in aenima?
c9castine 6 months ago
@Fakename70 your clearly more interested in having an argument, and not a debate, as evidenced by your persistence in telling me my opinion is wrong and yours is right. youve totally forgotten what we are even talking about an are so absorbed in the fact that i suggest your precious godly band could be put into a genre. get over it dude.

Ænima. Is that better? Let's make a deal, kid: I'll learn to read if you learn to spell, OK? Remember, you're 26 now. You fail to see why your comment was so odd, not only to me, but, to the other person who called you on it. Re-read that person's 2nd & 3rd sentences in response to your comment that he & I both replied to and maybe you'll see where we're coming from. And, you glorifying AIC lyrics about addiction as "beautiful and complex"? BRILLIANT! Are you a stand-up comedian?

10 years ago, I took a contract job in Saudi Arabia. I bought this album, on cassette tape, and it said on it "Proudly Made In Saudi Arabia". I bought it in a tiny town where I was utterly alone, the only whitey in a town of 15K people, in the geographical center of the place. This tune reminds me of how I used to spend my 'time off' driving my Toyota Hilux in the desert, slowly going insane and loving it. Shit may well indeed wind up at the bottom, but I was on top of the world.

nikolawesthemkg 1 year ago
@nikolawesthemkg You are a fucking idiot. I am not an Atheist you dumbass. I am a Theist. The opposite of an Atheist. Maynard is also a Theist , as is the rest of Tool. They are all Theists who have studied Masonic history including Sacred Geometry, Theology, Elegant Mathematics, Astronomy, I could go on and on. They are into The Occult, not Christianity. The song is about Jesus. Get over it. You just WISH it wasn't because you are a Christian and you like tool. Sorry but that is the truth.
j19318 1 year ago
@nikolawesthemkg They will not say eulogy is about Jesus because he wants you and other christians to continue to give him your money.I think you should without a doubt keep giving your money to tool,they deserve it more that your church does anyway.That is why they say it is about L. Ron Hubbard because nobody gives a fuck about L. Ron Hubbard ecxept Tom Cruise and some other hollywood wierdos and they don't listen to tool. Anyway L. Ron Hubbard has never been on a cross.Just shut up and buy!!!
