Agree with you on the above. Lots of "chugging" for sure.

Who cares about technique? We're talking about music, not sport. It isn't technique or the number of scales that you know that makes you a creative guitarist. If Adam had better technique and knew more scales and approached guitar differently then Tool might sound like just another alt metal band.

That's just another way of saying he's a good band member. In other words, he plays what sounds good with the rest of his band.

He definitely has his own style of art. He doesn't rip off Alex Grey, he works with him so naturally their work crosses over. Adam's own art is much darker and macabre than anything Alex has done.

what I'm saying is the riffs in 10kd aren't very notable. most of that album was just chugging, and even Jambi (don't get me wrong, I think it's a great song but...) was just chugging on the open D for a really sizable percentage of the whole song. The Pot's main riff is like 2 notes, palm muted, and even most of RS is a third eye/H rip off with an AWFUL solo meandering in the middle. The awful meandering solo plagues most of 10KD; it's in Jambi and Wings 2 as well.

Wings 1/2, Intension (despite it just being a sequel in feel and tone to disposition) and Right in Two are the most unique to me but their problems are:

wings 1/2 - guitar doesn't fit vocals. all the different movements are mashed together angularly. most of the song feels like a setup for maynard to sing over but the whole thing lacks cohesion between instruments and vocals

Intension - aside from feeling a bit borrowed, nothing else is wrong with it. probably the best song on the album

Right in Two - forgetting the godawful lyrics for now, the song doesn't get interesting until after the tabla part, which leaves a 9 minute song with about 3 minutes of worthwhile musicmanship.

there. now everyone pick that apart or just agree with it wholesale so I can feel better about myself.
See if you knew anything you'd know that the music was written without Maynard, then given to Maynard and he sang and created the melodies after the music was already made. You don't know what you're talking about.

Actually play guitar and you'll see whats ripping off and whats not. The main ripoff would be the vicarious riff which is the exact riff in H. but played differently. Rosetta Stoned solo is played NOTHING like any other of their solos and the riffs are also much different.

I knew it was written without Maynard and I can play probably 70% of the Tool catalog on guitar. STRIKE TWO!

You're right about the Vicarious/H ripoff, indeed. The part in Rosetta Stoned where Maynard sings "hey-e-ey" over the hammer-ons going from low D to A to D reminds me of the hammer-on part in H. before "without the skin...". You disagree? That's alright, it's my opinion.

About Maynard's absence during the writing, I assumed this was always the case from Undertow through to 10KD, but perhaps I'm wrong in that assumption. If I'm correct though, something else is to blame for the discordance in their recent song structures.

How do you even "rip off" your own riff!? If you wrote the riff you can do whatever you want with it.

I saw AC/DC and ZZTop mentioned. Funny how those bands are bands that as soon as their song begins you know it's them. Thus the difference between ripping off your own riff and developing your own style.

players, mostly, care about technique. technique is what expands your ability to express yourself through music. i even admitted as much that adam seemed to go a different route; rather than learning new techniques he simply found new ways to manipulate the sound of what he already knew how to play. its an observation i have made, and in my opinion, it is a criticism, since i believe guitar players should always be trying to expand what they can produce with the instrument.

show me where i insinuated that he was not a good band member... lol. when i posted that, i meant it as a complement.

however, i dont think he walks in on danny and justin and then pops out the same-sounding riffs. i think he comes up with the basic riff and then danny and justin work their magic within his framework. there can be little argument that adam is the limiting reagent in the tool equation.

oh hes not "ripping off" alex grey... hes just using alex grey's art along with his name instead of driving that aspect of the band on his own like he once did.

I remember reading something where he said that it's mainly Justin who comes up with the riff age.

You're right about the Alex Grey thing. I'm kinda getting tired of Alex's stuff and Adams is awesome. I liked the Melvin's vinyl he did.

Those two songs have similar lyrical themes. Again, I see that riff as a nod to Third Eye.

Either that or Adam Jones is such an incompetent guitar player that he doesn't know he's copying himself. I find that unlikely.
I'm pretty sure Vicarious has some Schism riffs, and Roestta has a lengthy section that matches up with H.

I totally get referencing other bands but I'm not sure I buy the fact that he made a consious effort to reference his own riffs. But I supose it could go either way.

EDIT: Agree with you guys on Alex Grey as well. His Lateralus stuff was amazing (and I do believe Adam came up with a lot of that though) but the 10K stuff is just very boring and pretentious. He needs to to come up with some new stuff now.

Oh okay thanks. I thought a bit of Schism was in there as well. I am sure of the Roestta-H. connection though.

You're really clutching at straws now...there's probably half a Tool riff copied in almost every Tool song.

oh phew, so an "attack" or "rhythmic technique" within the riff structure is similar. i thought i missed something. how about all the times they land on straight open drop-d (D5) for all of their punching downbeats? flood jambi h stinkfist third eye the grudge all over the place.

well now i feel bad.

hey perhaps it's a motif, like the staccato tranced-out dreamstate riffs similar in both the patient and the intro of vicarious ...if it even represents that. i get the sense that an alarm clock is waking someone up before the main riff comes in, the opened/physical eyes riff. but all these references to water, all the swirling microtonal howls of adam's silverburst, danny's heart beat rhythms throughout third eye and jambi ...i can't chalk any of it up to "ripping off their own songs ...those lazy, unoriginal, scab-picking hypocrites." seems like an intentional constant, an idea of its own applicable at certain times, in various ways, under different lights.

I think what all the disgruntled fans are getting pissed about is the idea of waiting such a protracted time span for new music to basically just get riff recycling in a way that's immediately obvious and/or that the riffs are unremarkable. When I say 46&2, Aenema, Schism, 4 degrees, Parabola etc. a very specific, memorable riff comes up.

When I say The Pot, Jambi, Rosetta Stoned, etc. basically all that comes to mind is hammer-on/pull-off combos or something recycled.

It's a fair gripe that some people may not have, but evidently there's a vast enough group of people who agree with me.

really, even the pot?

it's not just recycled... when you say all you get out of the pot jambi and rosetta stoned are soundbite portions of truly masterful (clearly under-rated) riffs, i can only imagine that you don't find it worthwhile or interesting enough to hear/learn the significance, flow, weight, and overall direction involved in their sound within that moment ...utilizing those specific hammer-on/pull-off combos. in fact, those are some of the most tripped out riffs i've ever enjoyed hearing/playing, whether guitar, bass, vox - it's so fuckin' sick man. and the drums are always so crazy intentional. rosetta stoned, the bass part at 7:04 for example. the pot bass intro, the 4:24 breakdown ...idk,idkwut2say. "you better listen" ??? HIGHLY NOTABLE RIFFS!!!

i can't imagine how boring your 70% sounds. are they not notable because only two guitar world issues have transcribed vicarious for you? how condescending am i? yeah, i'm a music snob. i think a lot of tool fans are. i don't like it... but i get off on it.

Saying that a riff is "Recycled" is redundant.

I mean really? To me that's just like someone on a Bruce Springsteen forum saying, "Bruce used G in this song and then went to C before coming back to G via D, clearly he's just ripping himself off". Dear fuck, there's more to music than chord progression and riffs. What about the feel? The theme? How the song fits in to the rest of the album or the rest of the bands work? If all you hear when you listen to music is riffs then I feel sorry for you. What about songs that have no riffs? or can't you hear them? I think Adam is a guitar player who plays what feels good. Sometimes what feels best isn't necessarily the most original thing. But would you rather someone said of your music, "That was great" or "that was...er...original".

By the way that wasn't directed at yourself, just that kind of comment.

A musicians limitations are extremely important to their individual sound. Adam wouldn't sound like Adam if he was more technically proficient or flashy. And so Tool wouldn't sound like Tool. Ever noticed that the most technically brilliant guitar players make the most generic, bullshit music? In many ways I think Adam's limitations stop Tool from turning completely into boring, prog rock wankery.

i was mocking 5th Eye more than anything. you can't feel sorry for me because we're arguing the exact same point. 5th Eye was making a surface level observation/interpretation of what it is to play drop-d in a band called tool, a band that relies much more on its rhythms and microtonal/binauralbeat harmonies rather than submitting to the straight/BORING! traditional/court music theory we see regurgitated everywhere, and so yes ...obviously ...there's gonna be some overlap here and there. but it's surface, and base. yeah, they use a guitar for both tracks!!! WTF?! i mean, there's sooooooooo much more going on there. sooooooo much more than just hammers and pull offs... get the flac files if you must, jesus chriiiiiiiiiiiist...

So, it seems that they are cautiously hinting at some activity in the recent news letter. I definitely look forward to hearing whatever it is they get together.

For a while, we hovered that 5 year mark at which I have come to expect Tool albums. That, combined with the gossip about recording and albums that have been put out on the internet over the past year, kind of made me eager to see something new. At this point, however, I no longer feel like there could be big news any day now, and I'm much less concerned with when the album will come out.

I think they're going to pull a Radiohead and announce it very shortly before release. They have the clout to pull it off.

I mentioned that a while back. A band like them, and the age of immediacy, they don't need to promote the album several months beforehand for it to sell well.
