!!!!!!!!!! Loving the words and sounds of music................................................. .. Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness; chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself.Think for yourself. Question authority...
! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Tool is a rock music group formed in the United States in 1990 by vocalist Maynard James Keenan, guitarist Adam Jones, bassist Paul d'Amour, and drummer Danny Carey. Paul d'Amour left the band in 1995 and was replaced by Justin Chancellor of the UK band Peach shortly after recording for their third major release, Ænima, began........... Tool has long clashed with conventional television and radio due to their dark musical content and dry disposition: the "Prison Sex" single from Undertow came under fire when the Canadian branch of MuchMusic deemed it too graphically offensive in spite of its abstract nature. Although the video was directed by Adam Jones, it was Maynard James Keenan who was summoned to argue the song's redeeming value. Keenan was bluntly interrogated about his childhood and was never given a chance to illuminate the video's meaning or that they needed to talk to Jones for a full explanation. "Stinkfist", the first single from Ænima, was initially shortened for radio play until overwhelming fan response compelled them to play the track uncut. The music video for the song was also renamed by MTV America to "Track %231" for its offensive connotations. Though the singles for Ænima received significant radio play, 2001's Lateralus featured songs averaging six-and-a-half minutes in length, unwieldy for even the most ambitious disc jockeys. The length of the music video for "Parabola" clocked in at an unheard of ten-and-a-half minutes, almost condemning it from being aired on mainstream music channels. In addition, the members of Tool avoid press, rarely grant interviews, and have only appeared in two of their music videos: in "Hush" and, very briefly, in "Sober"..................................................... .....All of the members of Tool have their own side projects that exist both during and after Tool's own time for recording and touring. Most notable is Maynard James Keenan's band A Perfect Circle, which was formed during the legal limbo Tool encountered with their record label during the late 1990's. A Perfect Circle has since become a band of its own and Maynard has devoted ample time to them. Danny Carey works as a major player in both Pigmy Love Circus Volto!. Adam Jones has had several collaborations with The Melvins, and Adrian Belew on occassion. As well as collaborating with other musicians, Justin Chandcellor runs his own bookstore, called Lobal Orning, with the help of his wife....................... ETYMOLOGY...... The name "Tool" was alleged by drummer Danny Carey in a 1994 interview to mean that the band served its fans as a tool through which those people would come to understand lachrymology, a pseudophilosophy that the band has alleged was founded in 1949 by Ronald P. Vincent after the death of his wife in a snow plowing accident. However, it is more likely that the band made this up in order to create a unique backdrop for their own beliefs.............Lachrymology teaches the simple belief that crying is the best emotional release and should be encouraged as therapeutic. Tool's lyrical message often reflects this in their candid expressions of anger and frustration. People who endorse lachrymology often believe that it is only through pain (both physical and emotional) and recovery that an individual can advance him or her self, adopting a slight "whatever doesn't kill me only makes me stronger" mentality........Other beliefs about the origin of Tool's name besides lachrymology theories include a nickname for certain types of army cadets and the obvious possible reference to male genitals. It is very possible that the name could stem from all of these things...........MembersDanny Carey (Drums) Justin Chancellor (Bass guitar) Adam Jones (Guitar) Maynard James Keenan (Vocals)...
