Kerrang

[martyr]

Kerrang has these little facts that they print every week called "things we did not know last week" and hey, hey tool are in one. they mention some of the new instruments used by tool in the new album one of them is the gong (we all knew that) and another is an egg whisker/beater

[idontmind462]

What about the epilady?

[orange.juice]

Maynard's megaphone?

[Andorion]

Does maynard stand around awkwardly with a guitar like device?

[Nebel]

What issue is this? The one that came out today? Could you please post the entire paragraph please?

[idontmind462]

You're talking about the headless Steinberger bass.

He actually does play quite a lot in live Triad.

[TurdEye13]

Triangle would be cool

[slamminsalmon]

FLUTE SOLO!!!!!!!!!!!

[pork chops]

i would love to hear the band incorperate the flute-a-phone some how. that would be totally cutting edge.

[A Tad Bit Catatonic]

Of course the new promo pics point more toward the possibility of the skin flute =P... I take it that would be Maynard's solo though haha.

[A Tad Bit Catatonic]

Sorry didn't mean to take that into the gutter, though it already seemed to be headed that way =P... I really wanna see what Adam's dimension beam does, that thing looks sick. And man oh man, the legendary purple drums...

And oh yeah, how could I forget... COWBELL =P

Seriously, well I guess Danny has enough kit to work with, but Neil Peart has some pretty sweet little doo-dads he's always messing around with: ie: xylophones, etc.. Well I guess Danny can just sample those now though huh. I can't wait... but I'll have to =(

And yeah the epilady, you know Dave Navarro used to use that, Adam learned that from seeing Jane's in concert - and there is a trick Buzz (from the melvins), I think it is Buzz if I remember right, does. You can point a remote control at the pickups of a guitar and push buttons, and different notes come out. That might be sorta cool, if used in the right context lol...

All I can think of though man... "there is some interesting guitar work, it is almost Hendix like" ... yes he left out the R lol.

the gong is a new instrument tool is using? i know in the song lateralus danny uses it live, i don't remember if it's used on the album though.

didn't he use it on "No Quarter" too?

[researchtriangle]

that's not a headless steinberger bass. it's a headless steinberger guitar.

yeah he uses the gong in no quarter too.

that's bullshit. i tried it and what comes out are just some clicking noises. nothing interesting. at least with a regular ir remote.

An epilady however, or any other device with a small electric motor, does a good job.

[martyr]

i would post the whole thing but i dont have it, my girlfriend does. but it did come out today so someone else can post it

[zac]

didn't he use it on "No Quarter" too?

and another song that i can't think of right now

[martyr]

and i suppose kerrang didnt now about the gong in no quarter but i wouldnt expect them too. they also included a tool poster. evry issue for the past 3 weeks there has been tool stuff, they are gearing up.

[zenkinet]

Haha you beat me to it - if you don't pay close attention you can't even see him do it, man it's lightning fast, and he has to even pick the mallet up and puts the stick in his armpit while he's doing it. Simply put the man is... THE SHIT =)

[Nebel]

I listened to the studio version of Lateralus and Danny doesn't use the gong, perhaps he only uses it during live versions.

well you can't see him when your listening to the studio version.

[Nebel]

well you can't see him when your listening to the studio version.

...Well you can obviously hear him using the gong... what does seeing him have to do with listening to him using a gong?

[Cid]

well you can't see him when your listening to the studio version.

but you can hear...

[martyr]

you can see with your ears

[zenkinet]

you can see with your ears
yes, yes I can :P

[martyr]

dear god, what are you!!

[Saltank]

Wow that's awesome.

yes he mentioned at some point in time that he tried using the double mass more often but the others said he still didn't use enough GONG.

[zenkinet]

dear god, what are you!!
I am one with my surroundings.

Each remote works differently. The universal remote from Cox Cable here in the northeast works amazingly well. wide variety of sounds.


(no, that was NOT a sales pitch)

[ViVisekt6]

doesn't even sound like a gong.. more like a big cymbol.

[zenkinet]

true, thats what I was trying to say.

[zenkinet]

yes, maybe, well not really, I wish I had.

I may well be wrong, and correct me if I am, but I do believe that is the lead singer of Skinny Puppy.

I think you are correct its, Ogre Nivek

[martyr]

yes, maybe, well not really, I wish I had.

your not sure? are waiting for a letter from god or something?

[zenkinet]

your not sure? are waiting for a letter from god or something?
yes, it takes awhile to be struck with the lords awe...
yeah that's it :P

[embracingyou]

Does maynard stand around awkwardly with a guitar like device?

I had a poster of him with a headstockless guitar...

[insaner]

doesn't even sound like a gong.. more like a big cymbol.


a gong is a big cymbal, and the fact that you cant spell cymbal pretty much tells me why you didnt know that.


edit/ oh and id like to ehar danny rock some sort of electric marimba.

[ATARI]

I think you are correct its, Ogre Nivek

SP makes every single goth band look like cheerios

[Bassmingo]

Danny uses the gong on the studio version of lateralus (at 8m 03 sec)

The steinberger guitar maynard uses has most likely got a synth pickup attached and he uses it to play synth sounds, not guitar sounds.

you have to set your pickups to the same place you are pushing buttons, add some flanger and delay as well it helps.

[SpareForTheWarFishers]

FLUTE SOLO!!!!!!!!!!!

I heard the flute player was gay...

[dracomordag]

[SpareForTheWarFishers]

[Happyfunball]

Kerrang doesn't mention any cow bell? /sad

[Nebel]

I read that particular paragraph today, it also mentions that they use Tabla and Triangle (Blair?).
