Anyone else love Intermission?

[_Parabola_]

For some reason, it just sets the mood for Jimmy. Even with out Jimmy it kind of just sums up the entire album, a sweet carnival with 15 amazing rides you just cant stop gettig in line for.

[mr. nikki jensen]

its funny and its tool so i love it

[magicbus]

It reminds me of that part in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, so it always gets me in a good mood. That makes for a nice contrast when "Jimmy" starts in the middle of it.

My roommate just recently imported a Hammond into our apt.

I've always wanted to be able to play this on the piano/keyboard, but now that I have the oppurtunity I can't find the tabs. Shucks.

I leeerrrrrve intermission.

[Bodhi]

It reminds me of caterpillars in a way.

It reminds me of caterpillars in a way.

Hahaha now im gunna think of catipillars every time i hear that song

[Amazonis]

I hate it. Just like Message to Harry Manback and Balls of Satan, it is funny the first time you hear it and then it becomes boring. I have nothing against the short interlude's Tool do, I love the ones on Laterlus and 10,000 Days, but I skip every one of them on Aenima except for (-) irons.

[tomisatool]

Yeah, except it's freakin scary when it transfers into Jimmy, I jump everytime.

[Bodhi]

Hahaha now im gunna think of catipillars every time i hear that song

LoL! Definitely, with little hats on.

I might be able to found how to play the main part, not the whole thing. Just look up the Jimmy guitar tabs and transfer it to piano. (if you Know the notes on guitar). Just pay attention to the bass note (if in power chords). but i'll check the tabs out.

EDIT: ok, here's part of it. D* D D F, D* D D G i couldn't figure the whole thing out because i suck at keyboard.

*The 6th key in front of middle C (excluding the black keys).
The other D is the second key, but i'm sure the piano says the notes.

Clowns come to mind when listening to this song.

I used to play a lot of Quake II, when this album came out. You could put a cd of music in, and it would just use the cd for the music and you could listen to whatever track corresponded with that level. Intermission was one of those that was selected for a level often. It got into our heads and it was ironically funny to play a hellish game listening to a circus-like song.

[O.G.T.92]

I love intermission. Just flat-out makes me happy. If it starts, I have to finish it.

[Clutch_The_Cornerstone]

I hear you on that one my friend.

[O.G.T.92]

Clutch = Future hall of famer here.

[the_milkman]

it sounds really trippy if you're on shrooms

[the_milkman]

but then again so does all of tool..

[Clutch_The_Cornerstone]

Clutch = Future hall of famer here.

Why is that my friend? im thankful that you think of me as a "Future hall of famer" but its nothing to be proud of but thanks once again. Cheers.

For some reason this song reminds me of Anton Lavey. Probably because he used to play the organ.

I remember listening to Aenima a few times in my buddies place last summer and everyone would just act how they normally would until intermission kicked in. Then everyone would get a kick out of it and seem more cheerful.

[0ctopod]

To me it's kind of a pre-cursor of Tool recording two-part songs.

[OuRsOuLsInMoTiOn]

The innocence of it makes me smile

[Arkham Asylum]

I actually find it pretty depressing (I love it, it's just that it doesn't put in a "happy" mood.)

[OuRsOuLsInMoTiOn]

It's the only part of that album that I dont think to hard about, I sit and listen and it doesnt push me in the deep end like majority of tools songs.

Maybe thats why I feel innocence in it...

[Eulogy33]

yea, intermission is awesome...it always gets me in a happy mood.

[sotos]

creepy....like seeing a clown dance with an evil grin and blood running from the edge of his mouth.....like the clown in the movie 'IT'

tool are masters of the atmosphere


they create magic where others create bad comedy.

[GaiusCaligula]

Intermission along with (-)ions where the first tool songs i ever heard and i must say that the shear unconventional style made me want to dig deeper into the band. Besides try to listen to intermission with out cracking a little grin upon your face, any attempt will be futile this i assure you.

[SecondSun]

This was actually one of the first songs by Tool I ever heard...

I love how it goes into "Jimmy," and it really irks me that my mp3 player puts a pause between songs. Urgh...

[paranormalgirl]

Clowns come to mind when listening to this song.

yep it reminds me of carnivale music...only thing missing are the carnies

[Hodge]

pretty sure i skip intermission
sorry

[toolwithapenis]

who doesnt love this song
hah

[Arkham Asylum]

Besides try to listen to intermission with out cracking a little grin upon your face, any attempt will be futile this i assure you.

Far from it. "Intermission" puts me in a very somber mood. Everytime I listen to it, it reminds me of lost innocence and since my inner child is all I got, I find the track to be utterly depressing.

[Arkham Asylum]

Haha that wasn't meant to be emo, but now that I'm reading my post it does kinda sound that way. I apologize, just trying to be honest because then it makes for good discussion.

[orangeisgoood]

YOU EMO BASTARD!!!! j/k... i think of clowns at the circus.. then when jimmy comes on i think they get in a fist fight or kill each other or something.... i have a violent mind...

[Nikeda-Taylor]

For some reason, it just sets the mood for Jimmy. Even with out Jimmy it kind of just sums up the entire album, a sweet carnival with 15 amazing rides you just cant stop gettig in line for.

I know what you mean. The innocence of it in the song, makes me smile and giggle. Whenever i hear it, i think of the carnival and clowns. ( in a good and harmless way because i have a fear of clowns).

[TaraChandler]

It makes me think of this clown that they had at a Dairy Queen that scared the shit out of me, you had to toss these balls in its mouth...creepy. But I laugh now because it was so silly, so in the end it makes me happy, and really makes Jimmy a suprise, I jump at that transition everytime.

[alichain]

My friend does her "fat dance" to this song every time it comes on.

[][ncognito]

I made Intermission the ringer for voicemails on my phone.

[irelandish]

Intermission is one of the best shortest piece of music i heard, and well, just brilliant ae,

[Carny_Handles]

I love rolling my windows down in my car and blasting this song at a stop light.

[FatBox]

And then holding up a sign that says tits to people who pass by.

[Angel on the Sideline]

Intermission is fantastic. Not only is it pleasing to listen to, but it does in fact tie into Jimmy. The carnival sounds mentally put you back to that young time in your life ... then here comes a song about childhood and a man trying to reconnect with the inner child that's been locked away as a result of tragedy.

[Medicea Sidera]

Like most have said this song remind me of clown, but an evil clown, the perfect intro of jimmy and it fits perfectly with the song innocent and creepy at same time.
