Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
I’m not complaining, nor am I typical. I’m just afraid that a hostile interdimensional Spartley-bug has shunted off Blair’s consciousness into an ethereal mind prison and is doing a poor job of imitating BMB in this dimension. Hopefully BMB will break free from his crypt and vanquish this beast.

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
wonder if adam will try 7 or 8 string guitar this time, it would be a natural progression and an interesting experiment in context with tool

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
Doesn't Adam really only use his Les Pauls though?
I don't know a ton about their recording process but I always got the impression that he never really used other guitars. Although I do think there was one song where he used a different guitar, like on Undertow (Prison Sex maybe?) but that's the only time I think I've heard of.

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
He's used other guitars when recording from time to time (I believe he used a Telecaster or Stratocaster on part of The Patient and/or Eon Blue Apocalypse), but for the most part he only uses his Les Pauls for Tool, and I'd imagine will continue that. I can't see him using additional strings.UndKeineZwEier wrote:Doesn't Adam really only use his Les Pauls though?

7 months
Just imagine if Eat the Elephant had never happened....
oh well after what will be 13 years the album better be a fucking masterpiece
As for Blair I can't really hate on the guy. Having to pump out newsletters over the last 12 years while Tool did a bunch of nothing couldn't have been easy.

Yeh parabolas tuned down about 3 steps off memory. And Mog, that's a speculated 7 months, I'd be very surprised if we see the new album this year.

Gibson makes a 7 string Les Paul, FWIW.UndKeineZwEier wrote:Doesn't Adam really only use his Les Pauls though?

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
For Parabol/Parabola and generally whatever other song in a set may be tuned differently, he plays a natural/"blonde" finished Les Paul. For Parabola it's tuned with the low string to B, and the second string to E. The rest of the strings are standard.
For Prison Sex, the low string is tuned to B and the rest are standard.

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
I know. But that doesn't mean he'd use one. Adam's pretty attached to those silverburst models he uses and doesn't seem to switch it up a whole lot. Like there's only like 5 songs where he's used something else.greasy wrote: Gibson makes a 7 string Les Paul, FWIW.
I just don't really see it. Adam doesn't really seem to switch it up a whole lot. Besides extended range models aren't exactly new and it's not like Adam hasn't known about them, being a big Meshuggah fan and all. I don't buy that he'd be more likely to use one now than before just because they happen to be more trendy now.

Lateralus is number 3 on this list of "albums you bought because of the album cover"

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
I thought it was an interesting list up until the top 2. I don't think that either of those albums covers are the most interesting from Mastodon or Gojira, and just smacks to me of "these are two of the authors favorite albums he needed to shoehorn into the article"
Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
And where was Sticky Fingers at anyway?
Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
Surely Deloused in the Comatorium deserves a mention

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
It's really just a subjective list of his favorite covers. There's many there, that while nice covers I don't think really stand out in a record store.
Deloused has a solid cover.

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
The only ones I really have a problem are Californication and The Prodigy one. I think both of those covers are kind of bad.

I don't mind the Prodigy one tbh though it is one of the weakest. Californication is definitely the worst on the listUndKeineZwEier wrote:The only ones I really have a problem are Californication and The Prodigy one. I think both of those covers are kind of bad.
