once again, i know this. obviously no one in tool has solo's, that's not what they are about, like i said i just HAPPENED to call it a solo to accentuate the part i was talking about.
i kinda feel like watching danny do his solo is an invasion of his privacy in a way... even maynard looks away during the middle of his insane solo... although i love watching it and marvel at how amazing he is... i just feel like its just one of those things that we shouldnt do
In response to the poster's name, "ModusPonens": Philosophical logic is ridiculously pointless and has no bearing on anything except for the abstract.
I guess you could argue that all human understanding is abstract, but logic has nothing to do with anything. Randomness exists in our universe. Modusponens sucks muchos ponis.
Its not about drugs, its about society becoming desensitized, in an interview he once said it would take someone to ram a fist up a person ass to shock them these days, hense the progression of finger to knuckle to elbow and shoulder deep inside the "borderline". Its left vague for personal interpretation like most of his lyrics but thats the main theme, listening to it again with that in mind.
ok i know its open to interpretation but heres mine. i think its more about society being obsessed with seeking things to fill empty time between events. i feel as though its pointing how people pick up a psp rather than read michel focault. and not every song is about drugs. everyone thinks h. is about heroin. right. cause its not about his son devo h. keenan (see how that works?

Stinkfist uses the rather disgusting metaphor of fisting to convey both the extent of addiction and the incremental increase in desperation in the addict — to find or feel something alive and hopeful in themselves. The search can, of course, ultimately lead only to recovery or destruction. Another interpretation, this one raised by Maynard in an interview, relates to digging and pushing through one's own self to reach something valuable and enlightening.
People. Do you remember him saying in the biggining "Your here to have fun.. lets not test your intellgence"And what not. His songs has so many meanings in one! I think stink fist is about fisting someone in the ass, and the TV. Remember 9/11? And how they played it OVEr and OVER again? Yes, we become sick of it. And it dosnt phase us anymore..
Think about being addicted to something, someone, whatever. Then listen to the delivery of the lyrics. The song has two distinctive cháracters, the addict and the source of the addiction. What Maynard puts across is just the pure reality and truth of how what ones psychology goes through when under the spell of addiction. Nothing more, nothing less.
saw them just recently. dannys use of the high hat was truely amazing. Purhaps the fastest use of the high hat i have ever seen, and its with only one arm. The guy is a genious.
it is about becoming decensitized.. and the use of imagery of anal fisting shows that u always have to be exposed to more and more to get a reaction...finger knuckle elbow shoulder
Remember what it was like after 9/11? Remember the first time you saw those planes slam into the WTC? Then for weeks you couldn't turn on the TV without seeing those horrifying images over and over and over again. The more people were exposed to it the less effect it had on people. People were glued to the television rewatching it like mindless drones. That is what this song is about.
that is what reflection is about...because i read maynard saying it in an interview...chances are your definition isnt 100% accurate because mjk seldom talks about what his songs mean...but yeah thats a reasonable analyzation of this song
he's talking about desensitization. 9/11 is just a recent example. Pearl Harbor, Oklahoma City bombings, Columbine Shootings, and the recent Virginia Tech shootings are all examples of violent acts that the media can use to make you less sensitive to what ever they desire in theory.
Obviously. I was using that as an example of how we are desensitized to catastrophic events. We are shown some of the most horrific images possible and yet we are not phased by it because the more we see it (the Mass Media will make certain we do) the less it shocks us.
This song isn't about addiction, and it's not about sex. It's about how overtime, tragic events happen, and the more they happen, the more they numb our senses of what is and is not acceptable. Although I guess TOOL's main message is to think for yourself, so no one's really wrong.
Judith's birthday would be Maynard's mother's birthday. She died recently, and was paralized for 20 somthin years (aprox. 10,000 days). Maynard writes a few songs about her, including Wings for Marie (Pt.1), 10,000 days (Wings Pt.2), and Jambi.

well actualy tool singer is mynard so....no tool takes away from the hate of his mother and puts in meanings for everybody to understand of the world around us they both rock
Great views of Danny. Next time I will try to get a ticket on the side of the stage. I would pay $100 to get a DVD of a full concert from Danny's point of view behind the kit. I hope some day the band puts out a live DVD.
Holy crap ,I was at this show!!, mny ticket stub is on the fridge,lol/ This is a San Diego show at Cox Arena. Im goign for round 2 at the staples center on sep 8th. Tool is the shit.
