TOOL - Vicarious DVD The Making Of 4/4

[jojjo223]

i never visulized the net of beings that way....i liked got high from that image wwhen he went into the whole subject on how it is like another dimension

[TheFBM2011]

japanese really lucky ass hehe

[Ritsoz]

i own Maya.. i'm the king... oh yeah!

[coldcell]

No shit you used maya and zbrush. the entire video is like an advertisement for both. Has about as much subtlety as Michael Bay's last three movies...

[TheDobligator]

I disagree with Grey's interpretation of the meaning of this song, but it doesn't necessarily matter seeing as just about every Tool song is prone to mixed interpretations and I respect his opinion. However, though I am intrigued by his truly amazing artwork, I can never respect him too much because of his over reliance on drugs to do his thinking for him. I have also always wondered if Adam jones does drugs. Until I find out, I hold an incredible amount of respect for him.

[djd904]

This is really cool because Alex's art appears to have a redshift as if it is travelling towards you approaching light speed. yay physics and visionary art

[NearbyHermit]

When I die, I want to be shifted in the Net of Being !

They should fucking expose it at the Louvre

[jaymore012]

Watch Alex's face at 8:57 lol

[jasonmeierca]

Fuckers are getting lazy in their craft. Oh how I miss the days of Ænima and good music in general.

[TheDobligator]

@jasonmeierca Fucking hipster. Music isn't just better because its old. Honestly you're the one who's getting lazy in finding better music if Tool can't satisfy you (I highly doubt that). They've improved and become so amazing over the years and while Aenima was still quite great, I cannot see why you don't think their new music is good. Personally my favorite album is Lateralus, but each hold their own form of greatness in many different aspects. You can't judge their albums by time.

[jasonmeierca]

@TheDobligator That was written fairly well, congratulations I think less of myself because of this. :)

[TheDobligator]

@jasonmeierca I'm just going to assume that was sarcasm. Sorry for the phrase 'Fucking hipster' as it honestly shouldn't have been said. They were harsh words, but nevertheless what you said was very hipster-like and naive.

[Tinsletooth]

This song and video together is an absolute masterpiece, I pretty strictly only listen to rap and trance music but Vicarious just pulled me in. . . Its absolutely mind boggling how someone can create this

[TheDobligator]

@Tinsletooth Good for you man. Tool can change your life.

[opti95]

Maya costs $1,745 fucking dollars.

ZBrush costs 649 fucking dollars.

Wow, 2,395 dollars to just make the characters in tool video.

[savetheworldpagan]

@opti95 but you will have it forever :)

[opti95]

@savetheworldpagan unless you get a virus and it frys the hard drive like it does to my computer all the time

[TheDobligator]

@opti95 Haha and is there not some serious merit in just that?

[jgordon210]

@pieis3141592654 hes taking a break at the moment and then gonna tour agin w/ APC in the summer but nothing until like 2012 were going to see anything. but the rest of the band are currently working on a few tracks and i'm sure Maynard is putting together lyrics and there depth similar to Lateralus.

[D3letedSoul]

"the net of being".. Damn, i definetely need to try this "tea" or whatever it was Grey took to see that shit :D

[skulljoint]

theyre making a new album soon.

I hope to god they are making a new music video.

i dont care if its just one music video per album.

Because this cgi video is just so beautifull, it can bring me to tears.

[pieis3141592654]

@skulljoint theyre not makin =g an album soon, maynard is curretnyl working and touring with APC, hes not going to focus on tool again for some time. get with it man

[skulljoint]

@pieis3141592654 Really.....well that just ruined my day.

I thought he was doing both of em. (thats what i heard anyway)

Ow well, i hope its gonna be original APC songs again.

[TheDobligator]

@pieis3141592654 I heard APC was working on an album without him and with Howerdel singing.

[InfinityDz]

This last part about "the net of being" however satisfied my curiosity because it always fascinated and mystified me. Tool rocks!

[InfinityDz]

Wow, I just watched 40 minutes of explanations of how was this video created, and I still don't get it, I feel guity!

I just can't see a link between the song and this video, I think a simple thing for this song would have been to just show many war scenes and that was it they could have done a video with just that. I'm not saying that all the work and efforts they put in this video was worthless, but come on what does it have to do with the song?! A.Jones didn't even want it to follow the rhytm

[kunda311]

Ayahuasca and DMT are, by my reckoning, the closest that human beings can get to experience the indescribable—other dimensions, alien beings, higher intelligences and the inner aspects of the human soul. Alex and Tool are visionaries.

[MadCircle01]

@kunda311 SALVIA is a very powerful entheogen.some say its more powerful than DMT. i sure saw beings on salvia

[TheDobligator]

@kunda311 I strongly disagree. The human mind is so much more capable without drugs than it is with them.

[AnalogBurnout]

@TheDobligator I agree. Although, I do think some drugs help you to see things you wish you could. at least for me, P.O.T. calms me down so I can think clearly.

[TheDobligator]

@AnalogBurnout I can accept that, because it does not necessarily imply that it really alters your thoughts or supposedly gives you greater thoughts. It just calms you down allowing you to think. It's like drinking water.

[AnalogBurnout]

@TheDobligator Exactly :D

[Delirion192021]

@ish9tar1 Ay mae! Viene en el DVD de Vicarious!

[ish9tar1]

@Delirion192021 seguramente ese DVD me va a salir un ojo de la cara, ademas tambien me pregunto donde carajo conseguirlo

[espMF]

ayahuasca also in my country peru,tool has to come to south america...

[Beattie8er]

Put it this way Ayahuasca is like meet god the aliens and relive any and all experiences in your life not only your experiences but the way you also influience others expirences though thought and feelings. It also reshapes the chemicails in your body it is a very violent shaminist drug. It removes all toxins from the body most people who do this do it to gain insight to themselves most people do it 2 times tops. Aperently it shanges who you are a as person and the way u see life forever.

[shiveyy]

nice to see animated but not in the cartoon sense,

[UNCgrad1234]

Talk about psycodelic tea.

[shiveyy]

that tea pritty much helped move tool to a new level.

[neurochris]

psychedelic, but ya man I know, when he says pyschedlic tea it sounds alot less tame then it actually is, I never tried it but I heard that ayahuasca which contains DMT is the most potent hallucinogen, then again i might be wong but I heard it is more strong visually then acid, but once again never tried either.

[T00Lology100]

I heard that Adam is almost done with the next music video. I think its gonna be for"The Pot". Personally i hope its for "Jambi". T00LS new album is supposedly coming out in spring 2010! Fuck yeah!

[rpdirector]

Good thing you used the word supposedly because there is nothing confirmed. The guys have been writing music except Maynard who has been busy with his wine, but Tool hasn't hit the studio yet.

Spring 2010 looks unlikely, but Fall 2010 or Spring 2011 is more likely.

[blade4657]

maynard just released a new EP with puscifer and is touring.

adam dubbed a lustmord album under the radar and no one knew about it till it was released, danny has been doing volto shows allmost every week. and justin is doing birtish stuff

[T00Lology100]

I almost fell asleep listening to this guy talk. What he is saying is really interesting, but he speaks really slow.

[AstralOpeth]

Maya is also the same software that was used to create the first Final Fantasy movie

[slipknot8760213458]

dimethyltryptamine

[LulJam]

Imagine porting the net of beings into a video game :P

[jake5824]

DMT, the stuff in nyquil?

[lesbiansaregoodandch]

DMT, the stuff in your brain

[eulogy311]

Correct. you release DMT when you dream.

[aakkoin]

You also release DMT when you die... that's freaky, but makes sense in a way.

[synkronyk]

that would be dxm.

[SaintRussell1914]

Completely different ballpark.

[ToOlOGT22]

imagine that 10,000 Days poster art behind Alex, as wallpaper for your house

[lukea31]

rosetta stoned is about DMT.. occurs naturally in the brain.. dymethyltryptamine

[Conzillla]

im new to tool

the drumming is realy inspiring.

do they trip out?

[EvolveYourOwnStyle]

Maynard used to trip on mushrooms. I think adams jones was into LSD

[neurochris]

oh wow lol

[rorekel]

not anymore

[Kozlen]

danny carey has used DMT, adam jones has done shrooms/ketamine/dmt. they've all done a ton of shit

[Conzillla]

Cool thats good to hear.

it definitely contributed positive toward there music.

thev got some really cool stuff.

[Kozlen]

if you don't know the lyrics of rosetta stoned, look em up. lots of drug stuff in there.

[cybertech22]

whats DMT?

[Kozlen]

google it

[cybertech22]

yeah sure.... I look for the german explanation but cant find it when I only look for "DMT", sorry. I need the full Name :D

[tranciapalle]

ALEX GREY MY GOD

[blade4657]

this is just further proof of how awsome tool is and what lengths they go to to make the worlds most incredible music videos which sadley don't get as much recognition as they deserve.

[cyanic11]

I think that's probably for the best... with the way people are, anyway.

[skysilcox]

It tends to be that way. And truthfully, Tool is pretty well recognized for a band with artistic integrity. Think of bands like Neurosis who are absolutely amazing yet hardly anyone knows who they are. Tool gets radio play. That's not too bad! Although I guess they are aiming at that market where Neurosis aren't concerned at all with the radio market.

[twsmpjlz]

yeah at first i thought wow this video sux

but this behind the scenecs really helps people know that it's not some random bull crap

[R32skater]

to watch Alex Grey paint the net of beings is something i would love to just sit down and watch him create it in person.

[Pimpin9171]

Can anyone upload the 2 commentaries on the Vicariouse DVD? Please & Thanx

[SpiralEyes77]

alex grey at 6:40

so awesome, tool is the best
