News from a friend on the new album.

[Anaemic]

So I have this "online friend" that has been trying to get a account on tdn for a few years. But for some reason it's not letting him get an account. But anyways he wanted me to post this on tdn for him....

okay...so i went into NYC and went to the alex grey art exhibit....long story short, I ran into Alex Grey(which was so awsome)...I ask him about the new TOOL album...he says, "On the new TOOL album Maynard has taken a whole new approach to singing on the album....no one has ever done what hes done before...he doesnt even really sing on some of the songs..instead of saying words he'll just say syllables or the beginning of words..and they <i>are done recording</i>." So...i mean...this is some awsome news...i cant wait to hear MJK's new style on singing...or whatever he is gonna sound like... im even more amped now!!!!!! And What is this not saying words business? Just syllables? Anyway...this is pretty reliable news ya know...from alex grey...and he mentioned some shit that Adam Jones has stepped it up...woooo....

[champion]

very interesting.

[mike tyson]

sounds cool and pretentious

[rochey-o]

tell your friend to sign up an email at j-e-s-u-s.net and use that to sign up.


edit: and i hope he actually signs lyrics. cuz tool just wouldnt be tool with out the lyrics. and that would make me a sad panda

[Cry_Ouroboros]

Lisa Gerrard beat him to the phonetic singing thing by about 25 years.

[clarity.]

This sounds cool. Interested to see how it would turn out.

[DirtyBanana]

crazy shit...my pipe is stiff

[mike tyson]

good to hear they are done recording if that's true and wtf does he mean by syllables or the beginnings of words?

Cry, can you recommend me any songs that showcase this by that Lisa Gerrard person?

[waffel]

Yea wtf someone please explain this type of singing.

[mike tyson]

new lyrics:

"shuu th fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ppppppppppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

[Tertius Oculum]

Shuh Thuh Fah Uh

lol I believe it sounds something like that. (I said Stfu btw)

[Tertius Oculum]

new lyrics:

"shuu th fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ppppppppppppppppppp!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
YOU ASSHOLE, NO I DID IT FIRST.

[mike tyson]

lol.. apparently i beat you to it.. sorry d00d

[Tertius Oculum]

I know that, stfu. :((((

[mike tyson]

*_wub_*

[tomXwithXweather]

If Alex Grey knows anything he wouldn't be allowed to say it. That sounds completely retarded too.

[mike tyson]

Why wouldn't he be allowed to say it?

[tomXwithXweather]

I think in an old update, not long before they started recording, blair said they made people who were there sign something that said they wouldn't talk about what happened.

[Bogart]

i dunno about it

[mike tyson]

Lets believe everything Blair says why don't we.

[waffel]

suuuuuuu maaaaaaaaaaaaaa diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[Anaemic]

If Alex Grey knows anything he wouldn't be allowed to say it. That sounds completely retarded too.

Why not? I don't think Tool would do anything to Alex Grey. Plus..it's not like he let someone listen to a song lol.

[herrhav0k]

I'm gonna go with tom on this one. That sounds pretty retarded. If that's really how he's going to vocalize on the album, it's going to suck.

[something_Dark]

yeah but isnt there a song called choked? and he does the no vocal/chant like thing.

It isnt that bad but ide hope he wrote some lyrics to go with it.

[Ktuluvic]

Alex must have seen the short bus your friend took to the exhibit, so he figured it was alright to tell him juicy secrets about an upcoming album. Ya know, since your friend was wearing a drool stained tool shirt.

[wwwanggg]

The whole weirdass vocal style could have something to do with that enigmatic morse code thing that we TDNers have been trying to figure out

[wwwanggg]

Instead of being sung, Maynard's lyrics will now be audially morse-coded.

[wwwanggg]

Kidding, of course.

[Anaemic]

Instead of being sung, Maynard's lyrics will now be audially morse-coded.

Hahaha, would that really surprise anyone? I think not. lmao

[Cry_Ouroboros]

Cry, can you recommend me any songs that showcase this by that Lisa Gerrard person?

Try "The Host of Seraphim" or "Persephone (the gathering of flowers)" by Dead Can Dance.

[flipmojo]

Maynard has taken a whole new approach to singing on the album... he doesnt even really sing on some of the songs..i nstead of saying words he'll just say syllables or the beginning of words...

This is not new. Maynard has been singing in syllables for a long time, especially in APC. Go back and listen to old stuff and you will hear him extend a scale on one syllable of one word. That is one thing that makes him a great singer.

[Misanthrope]

"On the new TOOL album Maynard has taken a whole new approach to singing on the album....no one has ever done what hes done before...he doesnt even really sing on some of the songs..instead of saying words he'll just say syllables or the beginning of words..and they are done recording." Heaps of people have already done that. Alex Gray must be a real dumbass.

[Kalamazoo]

Yeah, and the cd booklet is going to be made of a fruit rollup soaked in satan's blood.

I'll believe it when my dick falls off from getting gnawed on too hard by old men.

[Lackymacky]

is that real? my cousin showed it to me, and i wasnt sure if it was real or not. how do you know?

[Liam]

a whole new approach for tool, u dumbarse

[ATARI]

a whole new approach for tool, u dumbarse

On the new TOOL album Maynard has taken a whole new approach to singing on the album....no one has ever done what hes done before...

[Misanthrope]

sigur ros have done that before

Sounds interesting. So some of the songs will be like that and not all, which is good, maybe it's like ven...o...mous voice or eu...phor...i...a, although it's already been done they might expand on this form of 'singing' further.

Whatever they case may be, whatever style they produce, it will be original and should be totally different from their last as they have already proved.

[luketheduke06]

....your own eu lo gy. hasnt he been doing this for a while? it takes him like 2 minutes to sing the word "euphoria" during undertow.

[Goldfoot]

I love how he sings. Not many vocalists add to the music like he does. Hes got his own instrument.

[Tertius Oculum]

Plus he plays guitar! Oh snap!

[mike tyson]

sigur ros have done that before

sigur ros has their own language, dumbass

[KJM]

Some of you guys are ridiculously gullible

[mike tyson]

noe U!

[Kalamazoo]

Some of you guys are ridiculously gullible

It's MAYNARD!
ROFI

[waffel]

I USE PEDALS WHEN I DRIVE.

[Goldfoot]

I USE PEDALS WHEN I DRIVE.

I use three of them so there!

[Cid]

wow

[ArizonaBay]

So your saying Maynard is gonna, well, er.. scat
lol
Hi im new here

[mike tyson]

no.. we're saying that Waffel uses pedals when he drives

[5th Eye]

I don't believe any of this is true. If Maynard just sang beginnings of words he'd sound like he was mentally challenged or something.

Oh...wait a minute...that makes sense, doesn't it...

[BatterY316]

your gay

[Goldfoot]

your gay

He owns a gay?

[Alf]

I bet YOU do!

[5th Eye]

your gayDon't talk about my gay like that! *slap*

[ATARI]

if anybody offending my gay like that
oh my

[clarity.]

I use three of them so there!

Hooray for stick-shifts. I bet Maynard drives one. /derailthred

[whalethesecond]

sigur ros has their own language, dumbass
hopelandic doesn't MEAN anything, its just natural syllables that fit with the music. no lyrics. thus, if maynard is doing what anaemic is describing, it is something that has been done before.

[Liam]

snap.

[parables in the world]

i think now the parts he's talking about is in 10,000 days and Rosetta Stoned.

[benjamin]

i think now the parts he's talking about is in 10,000 days and Rosetta Stoned.

Agreed...

...not a stupid thread, just old.

Makes you wonder though, with all the disputed lyrics, and blatent discrepencies... just how many word/phrase/sylables did he blend in the album?

[Alex in Chains]

i think now the parts he's talking about is in 10,000 days and Rosetta Stoned.

Or maybe, just maybe, his friend didn't meet Alex Grey, or he met Alex Grey but he didn't say this, or Alex Grey was having fun with him, or . . . you get the picture. I find it hard to believe that anyone who had ever heard an album by any rock band would call "ohs" and "heys" amazing or a whole new way of singing.

[Opiate Son]

He could have been talking about Vicarious, with the effects on the "Part vampire":....etc. Or it could have been total bullshit.

[parables in the world]

i don't care i still like how he does the "hey" "oh" s

[Systolic]

Or he could have been talking about Lipan Conjuring....

[Hodge]

yea, parts of vicarious makes sense

part vam-pire part warr-ior car-ni-vor and voy-eur blah blah

syllables indeed

[Yogho!]

maynard not singing? thats not cool, that sucks
