Has everyone see the whole leprechaun thing, with the "I Want The Gold" remix?

All I can say is somebody get to work and do a remix over the Doom 3 intro. I will worship you forever, or at least a couple minutes.

it's got all of the elements of TOOL -- the drumming sounds very similar to Danny's work on Reflection/Lateralus, there is the hushed whispering/chanting that Maynard is so famous for, it's got a bassline that has Justin written all over it, and the guitar sound is pound-for-pound good enough that Adam could've done it.

However, Tweaker claims it and TOOL has never contested it, so that about wraps that up.

The funny things is that this track is used on the DOOM 3 title screen and is TOTALLY out of place.

when youre five foot three
youve a right to be angry
until you turn into a hippie
and butcher john lennon
nevermind i have a two note range
because my voice is all the rage
pay no mind to my elderly age
little girls still want to lick my asshole

later on on the album
youll hear the token angry tool song
along with a song with a one note riff
but its got a lot of time changes
pardon me while i focus my chi
on my giant pile of money
while my whores are doing some xtasy
my cock is nine feet long

we bathe in expensive plum sauce
because our fanbase will pay any cost
because i sound like a cross
between michael jackson and kenny loggins
then ill take you right into
THE DANGER ZONE



EDIT:

before the guy starts singing...i think this song actually is pretty sweet

JJJ played Schism for the first time in Australia, I remember listen to that. JJJ are normally pretty good to Tool, but they've really changed in the last few years to be more hip-hop electronic so it wouldn't surprise me if Tool are considered too old or heavy for airtime other tha during Three Hours of Power or whatever the metal show is called now.

Why did you bother decompress it? just get a FLAC player

FLAC is just another audiofile type.
