The Grudge (WARNING: 26 years to #6?)

[liz]

It's much harder to argue that Meshuggah aren't djent, but as they are one of M0G's favorite bands I look forward to him attempting to...



Prediction: I think M0G will ignore it and post about how amazing liz is and he's got a lot of respect for her.

Well obviously I would approve of that as a legitimate fall back position.

[ilikecheese]

fall back

on your back baby
because I've got a position for you...

lalalalala

[xZ1mM3r]

He's probably busy modifying the wiki pages to suit his view points

[markuspoop]

Oh, so you ARE retarded?!

Fuck, i was totally speaking hypothetically. I didn't know that you are actually mentally disabled.

Apologies, little buddy...

Hey, calm your tits there. This is a thread to bash Tool, not namecall other posters.

Fuxking fartnozzle.

Oh, and Tool are lazier than a rug on Valium. Now that's lazy.

[M0G]

Hmm. Mog you may wish to peruse the wiki link for djent which claims Meshuggah as the originators of the djent technique.

I contend that neither band would suffer by

Hmm. Mog you may wish to peruse the wiki link for djent which claims Meshuggah as the originators of the djent technique.

I contend that neither band would suffer by comparison.

Frederik coined the term to describe the technique, nothing more. It was never intended to create a genre and Meshuggah make absolutely no claims on being a Djent band. Subsequent copycat cunts decided to use the term and emulate a Meshuggah type sound and then sadly this disgusting subgenre spread up that Meshuggah want no part of.

Animals as Leaders got tossed into that horseshit label because they play 8 strings and use polymeters. They have been influenced to a degree by Meshuggah, but so has your beloved Tool, who have stated on numerous occasions that Meshuggah was an influence on 10,000 Days. Should we now call Tool Djent? Stephen from Deftones uses an 8 string. Should we label Deftones as Djent? Or are we going to take it a step further and say that any band that use polymeters and syncopation are Djent? If that is the case we should re-label Jazz. Absurdity all around.

[ilikecheese]

Is 'djent' someones first name or....?
sounds svedish or somezing

[trilobite]

Yeah Meshuggahs lead-singer's last name is 'Djent'

[Specter]

It's his first name. Djents Kidman. Get it left.
He's Nicole's 8th string auntie.

I asked him. I said Marten how would you describe your fascinating rich deep crushing guitar tone and he replied it just goes like "Dj-ent Dj-ent Dj-ent.''

To be accurate, you want them to have no part of the subgenre. I doubt Meshuggah and AAL care.

You're correct, it is absurd to think that djent is just polymeters and syncopation. I thought you understood genres?

What does Messhugah and Animals As Leaders (who?) being or not being "djent" (what?) have to do with Tool not finishing a new album after 4 plus years in the studio??

This is the Tool Grudge thread.

Please flame to heart's content.

Not sure that the Loft counts as "in the studio" but I take your point.

[hellboy]

Speaking of laziness, where is Maynard's autobiography he said would be out by his 50th?

[Specter]

He's working on the animation for the next album.

It will be an anima(ted) book.

That fucker likes spinning things around. Especially forklifts.

I'm heartily sick of talking about them tbh. Discussing other bands in the Grudge thread highlights my apathy. Just like their album I will get around to releasing new discussion material regarding TooL eventually, maybe.

TOOL HARD AT WORK* ON 5TH LP NOW THAT RECENT TOUR HAS COME TO AN END


*For "Hard At Work", please refer to what really happened:


Monday - 11am, band arrive at loft, discuss writing schedule for upcoming week and begin rehearsing. After around 90 minutes of shambolic, directionless postulating from the trio, tempers flare up and nerves are on edge. Things come to a head when Justin sticks a Post It note on Adam's back which reads "I Am Curious Orange" and Adam responds by throwing a half eaten sausage at the smirking bassist. Danny packs it in, slams door to Loft and drives home in his Lamborghini to watch reruns of Curb Your Enthusiasm for around 4 hours straight.

Tuesday - 2 hours of rehearsing and 4 hours of Titanfall on Loft Playstation console.

Wednesday - day off.

Thursday - Band convene after brunch at Le Croissant. Adam shows off new effects pedal and Justin berates him for his "cowardly lack of ambition". Danny breaks tension with an amusing anecdote about Rush Limbaugh. Band spends next three hours rehearsing new tune, tentatively titled "Murder In the Bahamas".

Friday - Two hours rehearsing, four hours listening to motivational tapes by Jewish Pakistani new age guru, Rag Nousembaum. At around 4pm, Justin bakes a flourless chocolate cake which they all enjoy. Danny remarks that loft "could use a table tennis table", to which they all agree.

[hellboy]

If I were rich and in a band, that's more or less what would happen during our writing sessions.

[MobileVortex]

There would be a lot more killzone on my xbone, but yea that's pretty much it

Anyone who took the time to create an account on 4E is probably a fan of tool more than the average person
