okay, i've read a lot of these posts on the song "ticks & leeches" and a lot are b.s. and ignorant.
first of all, i understand the debate of which word maynard sings (blood, friend, uh, fruit). but when people say that this site has the correct lyrics, they're totally wrong. first of all, maynard NEVER TYPED THE LYRICS IN HIMSELF. these lyrics were copied and pasted from toolband.com, word for word, practically. if you've been coming here a while, you'll note that on the old site the lyrics page had a bottom frame that said "typed in by [email protected]." so don't believe everything you read, folks.
i read one post where the guy said maynard never wanted to sing "ticks & leeches" live. yes, i've heard the article too, BUT, he has sung it numerous times, and not just once. if you don't believe me, go to deadohiosky.net. he uses a voicebox so he doesn't have to scream so hard.
and to the guy who didn't like "ticks & leeches," what a crappy reason you have. do you think the band is really sitting on their asses contemplating what their damn fans want? not to mention, who their fans are? if this song is horrible, then what about idiotic tracks like "intermission" and "die eier von satan" and "faaip de oiad?" they kinda lose the flow of the albums. i mean, i respect your opinion and all, but don't make stupid judgments of the band because their song leads you to believe something. it's a good song. whether or not it's a favorite amongst many people isn't important. what's important is that they did what they wanted to do, regardless of YOUR opinion. i really dislike analyzing every song, especially with others, so i'll stop there.
