Much of the experimentation was Carey's territory. I got some good samples from that, banging on the strings for 'Resolution,'" he told Modern Drummer. The Tibetan monk sounds you hear on the record are just me growling through a tube. That was the initial sample, and then I overdubbed an Oberheim through a Vocoder. Before this record, we were really rigid about being able to perform every note live, but we got away from that for this one.
Maynard is doing more harmonies and doubling on his voices, and Adam did more guitar overdubs. According to the Toolshed fan site, Keenan once noted that the ambient interlude "Mantra" is the slowed-down sound of him squeezing his Siamese cat. Given Tool's love of saying weird shit in interviews, it's best to take that one with a grain of salt.
Perhaps on a future reissue, we'll hear an extended cut of Keenan's cat-squeezing. The album title is something of a dual reference, nodding to both the thigh muscle vastus lateralis and the concept of "lateral thinking" "[ Lateralis ] itself is actually a muscle, and although the title does have something to do with the muscle, it's more about lateral thinking and how the only way to really evolve as an artist — or as a human, I think — is to start trying to think outside of the lines and push your boundaries," Keenan told Aggro Active in May Oh, the good ol' days when a five-year interim between Tool albums felt like a summer vacation Tool became involved in another lengthy legal battle in , this time involving artwork and an insurance company, and that insane headache only slowed down their progress on the most highly anticipated heavy music LP of all time.
So we really did this album in about a year, which in my mind is pretty good. But you know what? There were a lot of little things that got in the way of us completing the record on time. I think [ everything ] that could have gone wrong with this album did, from little things like broken gear to bigger issues like getting involved in a lawsuit with our label. I was telling the band as we got on a plane to go to the mastering studio in Maine that I wouldn't be surprised if we crashed.
And we had to get through that a little bit before we could get back to the creative process. Tool performed live just two days after the terrorist attack in Grand Rapids, Michigan — and Keenan admitted they were "finding it very difficult to concentrate. It was horrible, but we have to heal. We're just a band, but if we can just take someone away from all of that and they can smile for a little bit because of us, we've done something worthwhile.
The best part, though, is that Carey playfully thanked the Prince of Darkness onstage during their acceptance speech. Meanwhile, Chancellor saluted his dad "for doing [ his ] mom.
OK, um, um, OK, what we're thinking of as, as aliens, they're extradimensional beings, that, an earlier precursor of the, um, space program they made contact with.
They are not what they claim to be. Uh, they've infiltrated a, a lot of aspects of, of, of the military establishment, particularly the Area The disasters that are coming, they, the military, I'm sorry, the government knows about them. And there's a lot of safe areas in this world that they could begin moving the population to now. They are not! They want those major population centers wiped out so that the few that are left will be more easily controllable.
Tool Wiki Explore. Cuz this is what you're getting. There are so many theories, prophecies, and happenings out there to become conscious of The Pieces all fit. Take a few hits of LSD, listen to this album in this order, then leave your body!!!! In fact it just says that it really distressed Art a lot that someone could shut down the signal and interestingly it was before the call had ended, and has never happened before or after this incident.
Meaning that realistically it HAS to be related and possibly caused by someone AdSteR In fact, I wouldn't even be surprised that the government would themselves call back later to say "I did it! It was a hoax" and con everyone into believing it wasn't real Who knows. The point is, no matter what they say, keep an open mind about everything, and I think Tool would agree.
Just wanted to share my terrifying experience first listening to this song When I first got into Lateralus, I read about the alternate track-list the article author called it "The Holy Gift" , that turns the album into a musical spiral. So, I got the book, and was home alone at night of course , listening to Lateralus, and was reading up on this alternate history of the planet, and its inhabitants Of course just as I am reading through this paragraph, "Faaip De Oiad" is playing, and of course, the line "extra-dimensional beings" rings through my head.
Needless to say, I freaked. Since I'm an avid synchronicity-seeker, well, let's just say I don't believe in coicidence ;- lateralix on September 13, Link 1 Reply Log in to reply There was an error. I want to take this opportunity to write and clarify some apparent confusions regarding that now "classic" broadcast and it's aftermath. I will discuss THAT a bit later. It was during that initial conversation that Art says the word "discharged". About two years AFTER that initial call, the caller AGAIN returned, now claiming in great detail that he had been kidnapped, brainwashed and essentially been made to claim it was all a hoax,by secret agencies inside the govt.
The caller claimed that secret factions within our military were conducting tests based on work that had begun with German scientists during WWII and it was during these "tests" that a portal was opened, allowing their entry.
At least one qualified expert on voice-stress analysis did a reading on that initial call, and declared publicly that he found NOTHING that led him to believe that the caller was making up ANY part of it. Another factor was the caller's description of those "extra dimensions" in terms that neatly fall into place with what are now called "parallel universes" or the "String Theory", which of course at the time of that broadcast the general public knew almost NOTHING about.
Art certainly has his faults I'm NO fan of his "child bride" marriage Reemus55 Yeah I remember the first time I heard the tape on an italian UFO site I was impressed and seriously stung by the sound of it. But by now I I'm not sure about the genuinity, after thinking about it a longer time I'm not saying that maybe in fact there is an argument to support the genuinity of the caller's claims but as for now, looking at the transcription of the call I felt that it too much sounded like he was making it up as he went, for example I found it strange how he talked about the aliens but then corrects himself at one point and goes on to place the blame on the government..
I don't know It just felt like he was simply digging up all our fears at once. Anyway maybe he was lying but it still could be true that all this is going on anyway. It's just different layers of truth so for example he didn't lie but in fact was being played disinformation. Or he was simply lying outright.
And yet this does nothing to tell wether what he said can be ignored. Not only are the lyrics fuckin freaky but the musical accompaniment only serves to amplify the terror i was feeling!
Don't ever listen to this before going to sleep as it will give u nightmares- no doubt about it! Vince Hahaha i did pretty much the same thing, being to lazy to get up and change the disk after triad and then BAM freaked out, i also seem to link this to Roseta Stoned in the similarities of the extraterrestial beings, although thats about LSD trips.
Now listen to Die Eier Von Satan. That one's a kicker too! SP01 on April 20, In fact, the whole Aenima album is just creepy. SP01 on April 20, haha almost this exact same thing happened to me. It was quite a controversial call, as the station suddenly lost its signal for about two minutes during the call. Alas, the "disoriented" gentleman heard on the song called the show back a few days later to confirm that he had pulled off a delicious hoax. His words are still quite frightening in the context of Faiip de Oiad, though, don't you think?
