Hey J_C - are you saying that Tool aren't rednecks who sing about anal rape? I mean, that's what a full half their songs are about.
you know after 10 years,
10 years..... of studying alt. religions, almost studying at a golden dawn facility located in the south, studying them on my own, studing advanced math, the astral plane, numerology, A. crowley, dahl, dee, the occult, high forms of science,ect...
i assure you i could keep going..... i dont consider myself an intellegent man. partially because i cant spell. i feel like im a moron most of the time because i think you can never stop learning. but ive learned alot of things in the topics tool writes their songs in.... and i understand the references to some of the biggest cosmic themes /topics (including everything i named up there which is why i named them) known to man in tool songs, and considering theyve wrote a whopping 2 songs on the topic of anal sex (while a few others contain references) i think you should actually try researching some before you make a funny....
i really like ya jack, but you showed a lack of information in alot of topics by making that statement and im pretty sure if polled that anywhere the majority of people would agree with me.
dont take this as insult, and this isnt my opinion like with the danzig thing, this is a fact i was pretty sure most people were aware of. i can reccomend you to some excellent websites and books that reference many of these topics. they are rather fasicnating.
again, this isnt me being a dick, these really are cool topics and i think you would enjoy alot of them. but i promise you, the next time someone writes a song based from bill hicks lyrics, choromosone theory, astral plane visitation via hallucinations, or timothy leary, maybe then you will pick up the line instead of thinking its about buttbanging (which i am a big fan off, but 4 degrees and prison sex are the only songs involving anal sex directly..... stinkfist is a maynardism for something that youll have to research on your own... prison sex does CROSS REFERENCE anal rape, and in those comparisons i think if you listen youll notice thats no endorsement. 4 degrees is the only real anal sex song they have, and thats because the anus is 4 degrees warmer than the vagina......)
and FYI me and a few people that were at the show had this conversation, when tool played knox a few years ago, they asked the rednecks in the front harassing people to leave. ask ANYONE who was early to the tool/melvins show. go to toolshed.down.net and see if its still in the reviews. 98 i think it was? maybe 96? im not good with years. rednecks was the wrong word. i transcribed the speech onto toolshed if its still there, read it. it would be in show reviews. not trying to be an asshole, trying to inform,and i hope youd do the me if i made a blunder that big.
and further more, that was totally outta left field because im rereading all 6 pages of this and im seeing nothing about a post saying tool is .*insert reasoning for you to make that post* but now that you bring it up there is now. the difference here is i can defend this claim, and alot of this board is tool fans and im sure they could submit a few links too. i see a joke tool fans would get about maynards dick.yea ive reread the whole thing and i dont see anything akin to where you based that question. tell you what, if you can get the lyrics to the last two albums (lets cut the word load down) and find me one line promoting anal rape (if you can find a oneliner for that at all) ill totally shut up. ill even issue a public "sorry your god" post. the closest youll come is if you get the lyrics for 4degrees (which is a joke anyway) or prison sex (which is in no way promoting anything but depression).
and i think every tool fan on earth owns interviews with maynard where he makes the claim all their songs are about anal sex, and if you cant tell its a joke, you have NO sense of humor....... maynard just fucks with the interviewer. always has, always will. hes introed alot too. but if you research (and you barely have to lift a finger to do it) just a tad youll find a goldmine, and there has been rumors from blair (tools webmaster) of them compling a book addressing alot of the topics their imagery/words/beats (yea the whole band is in on this) cover to educate people further.......
dont hate me for posting this jack, i really like ya, but again, this isnt opinion, this is reasearchable and easily proven fact.
hope something helps. p.s. you didnt do anything. in life you at the mercy of the outside world. sometimes you catch more than the rest of the time. your in control of SOME of the inputs. remember that.
