goodbye

i can't believe anyone even mentioned anything that isn't pushit or third eye...

I rate Jambi up there with Schism, Parabola and Forty six and 2, but i like the last minute and a half of Vicarious the best. Lyrically as well as instrumentally.

im not sure but for me the best ending is in the grudge

the best ending to a tool song is when maynard goes on his PMS and does his once and a while rant and walks off stage.

just kidding. no, seriously (but I hate when he does it).

I'd have to say lateralus

agreed.

I cum in my pants every time I hear the ending to that song.

it IS a pretty kickass ending.

uh how about jerk-off anyone? i only noticed one person briefly mention it. jerk-off, like any of opiate had such an overall raw sound, unlike any of their later stuff. maynard goes NUTS at the end, ending with that classic one-liner. and i am not talking about the later sinced edited version. but the "shoot You IN YOUR FUCKIN HEAD!!!

Third Eye.

Kill yourself.

Would be better if the final scream of "goodbye" was all the way at the tail end of the song. Such that the intruments cut out before he finished.

i actually could do without the "goodbye". think it sounds cheezy(if it is indeed possible for TOOL to sound cheesey)

The drumming in Jambi fucking rocks. I don't know why but lately I've been paying more attention to the drumming when listening to music.

Danny's drumming is so amazing that you can't help but pay attention to it ...

Jambi's conclusion is good, but Pushit's conclusion is absolutely sublime.

^^Agreed

And what about the ending of Parabola, amzing IMO, but Pushit ending is probably the best one.

Of course it's possible.

However, I revel in cheesiness! So I say, "bring on more cheese!"

What? I really like the taste of cheese. Stop laughing!

Relatability is no excuse for not dusting your house. If you dusted the place every now and then you may come to find that your breathing improves.

Pushit for sure

but i reckon Parabola is better
And ummmm...Eon Blue Apocalypse.
Don't ask why

Then maybe we should find something else to blame. L. Ron Hubbard?

Yes, but are you gellin' like a felon?

im going to agree with a lot of people on here and say pushit from salivial

to me, when i hear the whole song my mind goes blank,

like most tool songs, i rather not think about songs much when i listen to them or else i forget to do the listening, i cant walk and chew gum at the same time, but this song is like im meditating i have nothing on my mind the song just diggs its way in and then one it ends i stay blank for time after, if someone says something to me i reply but have no idea what im talking about its just a great state of mind it puts me in

What, the state of retardation? lol had to do that one.

haha it was funny, i would have done it if you wrote what i did

Third Eye
Pushit (Either version to be honest)
Lateralus
46 & 2
H.

In that order.

Third Eye doesn't make the cut.

Sober....Now thats a good one.

I agree it is easily top 5. I think the end is the main reason they opened with this song on the last tour. Good stuff.

...then wouldnt they end the night with it?

Nah, you end the night with something awe inspiring, like 10k days, or Pushit

The Tool catalog comprises many good closers, but they can still do no better than "Ænema."

i have no idea about the Aenima tour, or anytime they played pushit for that matter. but the setlist i heard lthem play during the 10,000 tour(which i'm sure is nearly identical to the entire tour) had wings for marie/10,000 days somewhere around the middle, ending the night with vicarious. ...which kicked serious ass as a closer and to see live

It would leave you excited about it all.
I gotta see them live one day.

Valid point and I would not mind them ending it with that at all. My thinking is that it is the kind of song that ends so that you want to hear more. Natural progression in my mind.

All in all, it's fucking tool so you always want to hear more no matter how the song ends.

That sounds like an addiction bro, go try out the thirteen step plan

First post here FWIW.

For me, Tool's endings are what have set them apart from most bands.
I hate fade-outs.
That being said, and from the posts I've quoted, I imagine you've probably already surmised that I think Jerk-Off and Hooker With a Penis are by far the most intense endings.

For me, the best part of Jambi starts around 2:50 and for the next 1:30 I'm euphoric.
The "Damn my eyes" part puts me over the edge.

Edit to add: sorry for the bump, but hey, I've had some pretty good bumps in my day.

FWIW? english please...

i loove the fade out in Triad, although this is probably not really the same as what your referring to. Hooker's ending aint much, IMO. as far as the most intense, Jerk-Off is definetely right there with Pushit. i dont think theres much arguing that...

edit to add: you confuse the fuck out of me man

#1 - FWIW = for what it's worth. pretty standard forum crap, much like the IMO you used.

#2 - As for confusing you, I have to assume you're referring to my "bump" apologies. I'm new here - some forums I've been to get freakishly bent out of shape when you bump a week or older thread, others couldn't give a shit. No way for me to know on my first post, so I offered apologies just in case. The rest (I've had some good bumps...) was an old drug reference.


If you're still confused, I don't think it's got anything to do with me.

ahh, yes the bumps. that did confuse me. as far as people getting out of shape over it, i dont. inner eulogy will, hes some geezer around here who makes a lot of threats and picks on "noobs". make sure to watch out for him. the good bumps, haha, i did pick that one up...









just busting your balls inner, dont get bent out of shape

ahhh, well I'm a confirmed geezer myself.
Grew up on Led Zeppelin, turned on to Tool when Undertow came out.
In fact, it's my contention that Tool is one of the only bands to achieve the same level of superiority as Zeppelin, along with probably Metallica in the 80s.
I think Tool shares some of the same traits that made Zeppelin the greatest of their time:
Probably the greatest drummer since Bonham.
Incredible lyrics, often with a mystical quality delivered with extreme passion.
Overall a group of hyper-talented individuals who have a clear vision of their collective identity.

Did I mention I like listening to Tool? lolo
