Any Tool fans around?

[46and2]

What's your fav album? Personally it's a draw between "Undertow" and "Aenima" for me.

Both are good. Lateralus is a nifty follow up. In general, Tool is just plain good, period. It also makes great background music for vicious sex, neh? (Latter sentence directed at Nico... hehe)

My favorite is Aenima.

I like Tool too.

My favorite album is Aenima too.

Now, here's a question I've been wanting to ask you 46and2, I know your name comes from a Tool song, but for the life of me I can't figure out what that song is about or what the title means.

Here's another question for the Tool fans, did you like A Perfect Circle? I liked "Judith" but that was about it.

To guitman69

Well alot of the song is based off the teachings of Drunvalo Melchizadek. Whether Maynard subscribes to his beliefs or just uses them as a metaphor is unknown. Here's a link that could give you a better explanation then I could, I've read a couple times and I'm not sure I entireley grasp it myself:

Hope that helps! And personally I thought Perfect Circle was a great band (and hope they will release a follow up to their next album). What impresses me about them is that they don't sound anything like a Tool side project. Maynards voice is the only thing toolesque about them. Their approach is entirley different to how they write their songs as well. Not to mention their bass player is hot😉 .

Thanks 46and2, that did help a lot.

The coolest thing about Tool is, you listen to the music and it's really cool, then you listen to the lyrics, and it can blow your mind.
