Back in the day, my stepdad worked overseas so we found ourselves at the airport quite often. Remember how they used to have those courtesy phones where you pick up, talk to an operator, and ask them to make an announcement in the airport to have someone pickup and connect you?
My brother and I would go to those phones and request that they page Reverend Maynard James Keenan. Then they'd announce over the intercom "Reverend Maynard James Keenan please pickup a white courtesy phone. Reverend Maynard James Keenan please pickup a white courtesy phone." Then we'd lose our minds laughing. I don't know why we thought it was so funny, but hopefully some other Tool fans at the time were walking through the airport and did a double take.
Look at that OGT
What is this "phase", as if anyone would grow out of this awesomeness? 😎
Every... Tool... Song... Sounds.. Like... This...
Or. They. Sound like. Words combined. Sometimes in German. It is awesome and creative. As a new stoner, I was obsessed from the get go. Now look at me walking it back. I ran out of space... Here's the end
(I worked hard of this dammit, someone better catch it)
Dat Fibonacci
As the syllables go I catch on to your pattern
You can understand the reason!
Talking bout that recipe?
Umm. Eulogy. Right in Two. Stinkfist. Sober.
Maybe you mean he sings in rhythm? I dunno? That's usually what good artists do.
I got into tool with Aenima and it didn't leave my car cassette player for two months. Thankfully they were more into talking shit about Henry Rollins at the time.
yeah, shit ends up at the bottom.
What did I miss?
A lot of people believe(d) Eulogy is about Henry Rollins, though nobody knows and theories include L. Ron Hubbard, Jesus, Keenan himself, and Jesus.
Phase? Tool is a phenomenal band. Not a phase.
How about that Mandelbrot set?
Funny thing... I had the original green jello album (before they got sued and had to change to green jelly).
It was my first CD.
Awesome weird brutal sounds. Loved it. No clue who the members were. Listened
One day I was walking through the record store and saw these eyes. These fucking fucked up acid dream demon eyes.
I bought the album.
Fucking opiate.
Fucking Maynard was on the green jello album. (The high pitched voice on 3 little pigs)
Anyway, I still listen to tool. Not so such green jello.
Damn, I had no idea that Maynard was on the that green jello album. That was also my first CD I ever got. Probably from Sam Goody in the mall to play on my sony discman in like 1993 or something.
The whole back story of tool, Maynard, green jello, and Danny Carey is bonkers.
I think it's a Rick Beato interview with Danny Carey where he goes into it all.
Brb.
...

He starts talking about it at the very beginning of the interview.
The whole video is gold, though. Beato does another with Maynard.
Carey definitely comes across as more grounded and likeable.
Heh, I had the green jello cassette. I thought it was weird when I saw them featured in Maximum Carnage as Green Jelly.
I've never listened to tool, though. What's a good start?
Start at the beginning (Opiate), but their best work in my opinion is Aenima.
Pay no attention to my username....
Tell me about your wine.
Sour grape juice good.
Nope, not the real Maynard, the real one wouldn't miss an opportunity to talk about his wine.
Oh shit, you're like famous. I heard you once on a ratm song!
Somehow the pieces fit.
super advanced version
Does this "fit"? It does, if you will relax and enjoy the ride.:-)
God fucking dammit. I sat and stared at it for like a minute then randomly bust out laughing once it clicked.
I always liked A Perfect Circle and so I listened to TOOL but didn't really get into them until I brought up the lyrics that I could never really hear because all I had was Ænima and the mixing on that entire album kinda sucks; the vocals are damn near washed out.
Perfect Circles first album is pretty much a perfect record.
It's even better live.
I got front row seats to that. Every single thing was perfect
I'm jealous of you both
Ahhh a Supernatural meme template. You love to see it
I feel Dean has so many meme-worthy moments.
This phase has been lasting for 25 years, two live concerts and there's no end in sight.
I love how there's basically nothing but love for Tool in these comments. I'm a big fan of whatever Maynard James Keenan's touching. I adore Puscifer and listen constantly (Grand Canyon is my current obsessive-replay song.. once again), APC literally always fucks hard so it's always an option, and Tool scratches an itch I can't get anywhere else. Saw Tool live finally, too, just like last year.
Ditto, apart from A Perfect Circle. They had a few rubbish albums, particularly Emotive. Just seen Tool for the 8th time.
Spiral out, keep going…
Context? Looking up "Tool" only shows definitions of the word tool lol

I got a 10,000 Days launch CD hand me down from my dad. One of the ones with the Lenses and the Images. It’s been an obsession ever since
Seriously, though, their song Lateralus....
