LMFAO!! the patients to scan?

Which is exactly why I've said since day one that H is about his son.

I would like to pick up a copy but I can't find one anywhere, I have checked amazon, borders, barnes and noble etc...... The only one I have find is on ebay for $60, fuck that guy! Anyways it be very appreciated if someone can point me the direction of a place where I can order one online.

I got my mom to pick mine up from Wal-Mart during one of her trips. I don't think its as rare as it's led on to believe. Just check some local stores and I bet they'll have them now.

The june issue is already out, the tool issue has been moved out. Thanks though

Yeah the June issue was released the same week as the Tool one out here in Canada. It's not the monthly installment of Revolver but instead a special. I'd still look into it at different stores that aren't run by incompetent workers.

I got mine from Hot Topic. I went to Borders first, searched and searched the magazine section, couldn't find it, asked one of the employees and he said to check out Hot Topic. Went into Hot Topic and the strange guy with long hair and an Iron Maiden t-shirt at the cash register was reading it! I was like, um, can I buy that? He was like, well it's the only copy we have in the entire store, but....here...6 bucks later I was a happy man. I apologized for snagging the magazine that he was reading, and I was on my way. :)

That's fucked up

Huh, the Wal-Mart's by me didn't have them, that was the first place I looked.

and I quote:

"I think probably the stupidest thing I could have done on 10,000 days was put myself out there as much as I did with the tracks 'wings" and "wings pt. 2." I'll never make that mistake again. It just took too much out of me emotionally, mentally, and physically. It's just too difficult in what I would consider a hostile environment. It's not a very nurturing setting, a Tool concert. There's a lots of people there that get it, but theres definitely a percentage who don't and it's a very, very,very difficult place to try to express those kinds of feelings. So having put yourself out there in that way with songs like "prison sex" and "wings," I don't want to do that anymore. All those songs were exploited and misconstrued. People were flippant and dismissive. And technically, "wings" is very difficult to pull off, so if any one of us is off, it falls apart and makes that thing tragic, and that's not a good song for me to have fall apart."

-Maynard

Hmmm.

I remember when I went to the show in San Diego, during the intro/quiet moments to/of wings, "a percentage" of the people were yelping and screaming like a bunch of rabid wolves. Maynard stopped in his tracks and addressed the idiots personally by saying to the crowd something along the lines of (non-verbatim, of course, it was a long time ago), hey guys, thanks for acting like drunk assholes while I'm sharing my inner most feelings in a song about my dead mother. I, personally, was mesmerized and moved to the bottom of my soul by both the song and the performance. And I hope for the well-being of mankind, that he does not decide to stop sharing, because when he lets it out, I don't care who you are, you'll feel it too.

<<--hates those fucking drunk ignorant disrespectful wanna be assholes

mjk is such a dumbass. he wants rain but doesn't wanna get wet.

"much better you than I" ??

-.-

I got an email from Revolver telling me that the magazine is on back order until there are more in stock...... I'm worried.

BTW, about the quote from Maynard... i was actually thinking about that today. I was driving to work listening to 10kdays, reminiscing of seeing Wings and 10,000days live. While i was far from a "drunken asshole", unfortunately i found myself not quite involving myself emotionally with those songs. Can't say i know why really... i WAS paying attention.

Then it dawned on me... Crap! i will probably never see that song played live again. There is no way Maynard will keep singing it... if anything it will end up being a HUGE rarity in their setlist. At which point i was a little upset and dissapointed in myself for not realizing that that was my only shot to connect with the song in person.

...fucknshit

DUH!!! Great time to realize that. I'm glad I appreciated it every one of the 5 times I saw it performed. Very moving experience having lost my father mere months before. You're right, we probably won't see that again, and if so, very rarely. I've seen TOOL 16 times and only seen Third Eye performed once. I hate that the drunk disrespecting assholes cause Maynard to not want to "put himself out there" emotionally anymore. There's plenty of material to write about besides yourself, but when it comes from the heart like that it tends to become classic in some sort of way. Oh well, in a way that sort of signals the beginning of the end of TOOL as we know them. Sigh.

I subscribe to Revolver, so I got my copy in the mail a couple of weeks ago. But, I have seen it on the shelves of several stores in the last two days. Good luck to anyone looking for it. Ebay sucks for stuff like this.

My mom and I were fortunate enough to share seeing wing live, it sounds cheesy but after the song i gave her a hug. I dunno, it just made me appreciate that moment being alive with her and thankful we both experienced that moment. After the show (her frist tool concert actually), we went to the traditional meeting place after concerts, dennys, and i told her that will be the last time tool will probably ever perform that song. I just felt that the song is too long, and after the 10kd tour they probably wont have it in rotation, except for maybe a rare occasion.

on another note, i wish they would fucking play 'the grudge' again live.. i dunno why that song has been dropped from the lineup, it made such an awesome opener.

hmm, i just hope this wont hinder the lyrics from maynard, you know thinking about performing live and such.

I was also at the san diego show (not when i took my mom) and i remember that comment about drunken idiots, i just remember thinking at the time, "man, maynard should lighten up a bit and realize not everyone is going to receive, or want to receive that message." ..something along those lines.. i was also disgusted at the people moshing and shit to the 'heavy' parts of the song.. it just did not seem right. Not out of disrespect or anything, but i think for that show I sat down and took it in. I dont even recall having the urge to bob my head.

p.s- I found the magazine while I was at frys looking for Adobe InDesign. I just thought, hmm I wonder if they have the tool mag. and sure enough two were available. I kinda wish i bought both, just to hang on to one and be an ass and sell it on ebay at a later date. Who knows though, i would probably put the buy it now for 7 bucks or so though... knowing me.

Elusiv:

Worry not. They'll print more. I'm a magazine editor for a living and I can tell you firsthand that when an issue sells out and is in demand more of it will be printed. Two of Revolver's best selling issues ever have had TOOL on the cover. They likely did this special issue for the sole purpose of jump starting slow sales. They'll print more if the demand is there.

so- whats the deal now? read somewhere that there are mostly older interviews and not really much new in that magazine...I live in germany and its quite difficult to get the paper here and I don`t want to spend so much money on it (rather I got and buy a new aenima-cd with hologramme-cover)...whatever...just a question...:)

Yeah, never knew the whole creating of laterlus was a coincidence instead of carefully planned and meaningful song.

There's footage of Lateralus (the song) in its infancy being jammed on in their rehearsal space if you look hard enough. Its quite interesting to hear and see the beginnings of the outro being toyed with, coupled with a retarded looking Adam Jones shrugging his shoulders due to lack of ideas.

Eventually though something came to him as is evident at that song's final incarnation. I love the jamming process and its especially cool to see historical footage of bands I like muck around with ideas that eventually turn into monsters.

You mean footage on bootleg sites or youtube?

Just went by my local Barnes & Nobles and they had a fresh shipment of the TOOL issue of Revolver in, so check again if you missed out the first time around.

Hey Adam I just got the copy you sent me. Thanks again. Did you get my payment?

damn! that sounds good! O_O

got it. thanks.

?nacs

yeah i got it. i live in the uk and i got someone from the USA to post me a copy. yes it is worth the money. things like knowing maynard is in the PARABOLA video is a blessing.

and seeing danny carey's kit from an overhead view is another amazing picture.

the interview with alex grey is also interesting.

yes this mag is worth every penny. thanks TOOL and revolver.

shame on me- how much does it cost d´to have it sent overseas?

Thanks for the re-assurance. I actually just got a notice a couple days ago that it has been shipped. I'll have it soon, hopefully before I head out on the road for 10 days on a school trip. It would make for nice reading material to pass the long hours on the Interstate.

How would one go about finding this footage? Tool's creative process is something i would love to see more of.

i've seen the footage of tool jammin lateralus the song in their rehearsal space but it wasn't "in it's infancy" it was the actual song. and no maynard

yeah, the footage was taken by the guy that is/or was suppose to make the new website design for them. quite a while back he had a long video showing some concepts he had which looked cool (lots of asian deamons), he also made the intro thing you see when you first go to their website, with the colorful things swirling around.

and as for anything coming about from the new album, i wouldnt expect it anytime soon seeing as they just got back together in the jam room in april (as well did king crimson :-D )

that would never happen now with TOOL. danny said something like with bootleggers about who record shows and downloading sites, it would not happen.

they did that with the 2 live tracks on opiate, but he said it would never happen again.

and blair just really talks about danny's and his interest with the occult. they met in the mid 80's and he was the one who suggested to carey about the setting up of his kit to tie in with his size and his beliefs, if you get my say.

yes but tool is always one step ahead of our expectations.

so there's been like 5 years in between any tool "product" and it's 2 years since their last one and now all of a sudden they're behind expectations....riiiight. what more do you want, would you actually like it if they pushed out an album a year because it's in their contract like other bands? And yeah i guess you have to be a fan of tool not to be a stubborn douche bag about their work progress.

[QUOTE=
Tool has the aura of "fuck you" about them, and that's fine, but they shouldn't be surprised when that finger is returned.

I totally agree
Although, i get that feeling way more through Maynard than any of the other members.
