You know that drum-duel part at around the 10 minute mark? My guess (and if I'm wrong, I don't know shit about shit) is that Dale plays in the left channel, and Danny C plays in the right channel. What do you guys think, and more importantly...WHY DO YOU THINK SO? :shock:
of course dale is on the left,
danny is more tom tom stuff
also buzzo guitar is on the left
and adam's is on the right
awesome! I was wondering about that.
it's way too obvious
It seemed pretty obvious to me too, but I met a guy who didn't believe what I was saying. The guy is as dumb as a post, and just as deaf.
- Dale's drums sound (and are) bigger.
- You can tell that Dale is playing with massive, shovel handle drumsticks.
- Danny is faster, jazzier, more "wrist-orientated".
Anyway, it was a great idea for a song, and they're both amazing. Dale is still the king, though. Who else plays like that??? There are plenty of guys who play odd stuff, but Dale is a whole other ballgame. BORIS is a good example. He plays some FUCKED UP stuff on that song. Ah crap, I gotta go blow out my eardrums with Bullhead.

Yeah, at first I thought it was Dale in the right, its weird.
the drummer in my band, listened to it and heard it right away...
he said he recognized dales "sucky" sound...
he`s NOT a melvins fan...(even though he gets crazy and dances when i put on houdini or never breath...)
he likes Tool and Meshuggah but NOT the Melvins...STRANGE.
"that song is soopacool, ja?"
it's my understanding that the melvins gave tool a tape that had a lot of silence sprinkled throughout the noise/beats/phone conversations. the opening part is the best, IMO. I would love to hear these two bands collaborate more.
:shock: :o :shock: :o :shock:
Anybody else here find it hilarious when the guy on Divorced talks about the woman having a voice like a modem? And then the band continues pummeling away, as if they're pissed off about her modem voice.
and that was recorded around the time dale did get divorced.
Quote from: BryanAnybody else here find it hilarious when the guy on Divorced talks about the woman having a voice like a modem? And then the band continues pummeling away, as if they're pissed off about her modem voice.
The first guy that mentions the modem is MJK and the other guy is Danny Carey.
no the other guy is Buzz
it sounds more like danny if ya ask me... but cha didn't
The real question is, "Who is she?" :P
Quote from: SpiralEyesit sounds more like danny if ya ask me... but cha didn't
ok, I havent heard Danny talk that much(besides an interview a year ago), and I think that chuckle sounds like the Buzzmeister. but you know, "Im not going to debate you on this Jerry, Im not going to debate".
Im wondering who took the lead role in writing this song? it kind of sounds like the melvins barely did anything on this track... the ambience it starts with and then im thinking dale does strokes on his tom as danny fills the gap for him... It seems like tool did alot of filling in big gaps in this song... does anybody really know who does what?.. besides the drumming.
epic song by the way.

Dale was in the process of getting a divorce from the belly button above.
That was the driving force to the creativity. He is even given credit for the composition Dale Crover/Melvins.
"Free" I think is Lori's retaliation a year later.

the electronics could have been done by buzz or adam, as they are the whizkids of Colossus of Destiny (aka Noiseland Arcade).
obviously dale is playing drums in one speaker, and danny carey in the other.
do ya think justin chancellor is playing bass in it? i don't think so.
that could easily be buzz or a melvin on bass.
of course the guitars are a combo of adam recording different guitar tracks, hell buzz might have even thrown in some lead guitar, but overall it's adam's riff prolly.
and last but not least, it
could be maynard doing the screaming vocals..i mean... didn't maynard also do the "little pig, little pig, let me in..." line from Green Jelly's 3 Little Pigs?
at the end of Divorced you can hear maynard, and danny or buzz, talking about some shit...
prolly of course prolly obviously

"Divorced" is one hell of a song. I'm listening to it right now. I have no idea who's playing bass to be honest but I know that the drum duel part is legendary. You can actually spot the different styles of drumming... so cool.
neither one of the voices at the end sound like buzz to me, I thought it was maynard and danny or at least one tool talking to another
Quote from: suck poppet on April 21, 2008, 10:49:48 AM

agreed.
Adam's girlfriend Camilla performs the screams. She has a website somewhere, and that's one of the credits she lists.
QuotePerformed by The Melvins + Tool
From the album "The Crybaby"
(all of Tool plays at some point)
[around 13:30 into the song, this conversation takes place] BUZZ: what about Ryan?
MAYNARD: no, he blew it, he lost the number for the girl he met down here.
BUZZ: oh,and Adam said she's a beauty.
MAYNARD: she's the one who has that fucked up voice.
BUZZ: is she a rocket scientist?
MAYNARD: the fuckin...she has a voice like a fuckin' modem dude!
BUZZ: (laughs) sounds perfect!
MAYNARD: immatates a chick with a voice like a modem sayin' some weird gibberish...(you have to hear it)
BUZZ: (laughs heavely)
MAYNARD: then he got to work up there, you know Ryan gets off at work,i guess to show that he has a dick.
BUZZ: (laughs again)
Divorced - my favourite song of Melvins.
Where did you find that rictus?
You know, I listened to it again and I still don't think that's Buzz, even now that I know the words. I don't know,
especially the laughter. we all know Buzzo's laugh..
we do, that's buzz's laughter. *

It's from a Tool fansite(toolshed.down.net). I don't really know where they got it from, but I do think it's right. Voices recorded over the phone sound a little distorted, it's not really a high quality microphone after all, even Maynard's voice souds a little different but I know it's him.
Yeah the sound is kinda muffled and there's all that noise so it's hard to tell. I just don't hear it somehow.
Hmmm, now I've gone back and listened really loudlly and I'm not sure either.
It's a more calm voice then Buzz usually speaks with, almost too conversational
and maybe not deep enough to be him, although that laugh sure seems like his.
Time to post a topic on toolband and get the real answer.
It sounds like it's been slowed down a fraction.

Yeah, my thoughts exactly. I just couldn't really explain why it doesn't sound like Buzz to me.
His voice is sort of... recognizable if you know what I mean. Yep, I guess that's what I was trying to say.
"Divorced contains performances by the band Tool, as well as a conversation between Tool drummer Danny Carey and frontman Maynard James Keenan."
that's from wikipedia so you can take it with a grain of bullshit but I still don't think either one of those voices sounds like buzz.
Now that you mention it, it does sound like Danny Carey. :-k
Well I'll be damned. :o

No, not really, but I can see how someone might.
its curt cobain. AKA Kurkle Bane.
He also does most of the bass guitar on houdini. this is a little known fact. but seriously, just take my word on it. its him guys. its him.
hahaha, Buzz did the bass on Houdini
buzz did most of the bass on houdini, except for goin blind, where it was billy anderson.

OK.
4 Going Blind (4:32)
Bass, Guitar [Lead] - Bill Bartell
6 Hag Me (7:06)
Bass - Billy Anderson
10 Teet (2:51)
Bass - Billy Anderson
no, if i remember correctly buzzo sayd that the story of billy anderson and other bass players on the Houdini album were just a lot of bullshit and were just him and Dale playing bass.
They didn't have a bass player at the time, Lorax had just been fired (hence she's still at the back cover?) and I believe I read something that they didn't want Atlantic to think the band was falling apart or something and they just though listing various people would just work out better. I believe it was Pat Fear from White Flag who played the solo on Goin' Blind. Cobain did some percussion on Spread Eagle Beagle I believe or maybe he just walked by the drum kit while being high and fell into Dale's drum kit - I wouldn't be able to tell you the difference. He was a junkie. Buzz hoped for some creative input from his side, but he was dealing with a junkie here.
We're a bunch of nerds, goddammit, and I'm loving every minute of it.

hey rictus is that quote
Nothing Is True - Everything Is Permitted...
from burroughs city of red nights or is it actually someones sentiment. a brilliant book, very dark. i always thought burroughs made up all those philosiphies but now i'm wondering are they quoted?
just wondering.
it's burroughs quoting hassan i sabbah, aka the old man on the mount. burroughs talks about him frequently in his writings and lectures.
not to... divorce... this thread but... I read the first two of that trilogy and had to take a break. I loved both books but I got tired of reading about purple mushrooms.
This is waaaayyyy off topic but, Burroughs is said to have gotten that quote from Hassan-i Sabbah(leader of The Order of Assassins). It was supposedly his last words or something.

So bringing this back to Divorced (and I'm sure this has probably been discussed in the past on a different thread somewhere), what's everyone's opinion on which drummer is which. I used to think that the drummer panned right sounds more like Danny Carey and the left sounds more like Dale, but the toms sound way bigger on the right, and Danny Carey plays relatively small toms, while Dale of course plays massive toms. What's everyone think? Also, do you think they played off of each other live in the studio or were recorded separate. It sounds too organic to me to have been recorded separate from one another...
Dale-Left Speaker.... Danny Right Speaker.
it is pretty obvious wich one is wich... danny has a wristy kind of bounce with his drums... dale is just dale.

I've lost like 3 copies of the Crybaby.
DAMN, that song is worth an entire Record in itself.
There should be like 3 TOOLVINS albums by now y'think?
someone DID tell me once about who was talking on the phone to who and who's Ex wife they are talking about..
I forget who told me also..don't know how many times this must have been answered by now..
don't worry, I'm sure it will arbitrarily come up in Final Jeoporady next week! (sarcastically as in, does it really matter?, IT was probably more of an 'inside' joke in the first place, as in, the humor derived will have less meaning to you than those persons directly involved in the conversation, and co-participants of said "inside joke" rendering the humor less effective to the listener of afore mentioned Conversation during playback time)
WHO actually TAPED the conversation and snuck it in at the end of the track is the question that you REALLY should be asking. :D
dale's solo is so better than carey's
uh, Stallion Dude, Dale's solo is a Millions billion times better than a TON of amazing drummers.
I beleive the whole "drum off" thing was a homage to buddy rich Vs. Gene Krupa...check THAT shit out!!!
I just love Dales attention to detail and timing. the way he throws down hit hits. He's got PROJECTION...depth and enunciation, STYLE and just pure 100 percent savage and raw cuts.
plus he throws in stuff I've NEVER heard other drummers pull.
you cannot beat (no pun intended) Dale.
dale crover and danny carey are a great pair. divorced alone blows any of the dual drumming stuff themelvins do now way out of the water

not being such a big tool fan, I still think a melvins/tool album would be too good for anyones ears. a band like tool needs the melvins. tool (maynard) are so far up their own ass and come off as so serious and pretentious, the melvins lighten them up and help bring them to an enjoyable level.
you can say that again chuck!
Man a Melvins/Tool album would be great (Probably). In a way it's surprising it hasnt happened yet. I guess its the Tool boys being lazy gits and tending to vineyards. :)
Also i feel i must say that when the riff kicks in after the drum off its one of the most bad ass bits in music going.

I hear That the Tool boys have been here to prince Edward county to go wine Tasting on a few occaisions, this here's fancy rich people wine country...the opposite end of the Lake is niagra falls, n' they got wine there too.
must be sweet life.
wine makes me go to sleep.
Tool makes me go to sleep. HAHAHAHHA ah, hrm.
Just thinking of Tool reminds me of all the kids who used to eat-sleep-and-breath TOOL....and I was always trying to be like, "yeah, but there's this band called the melvins you see....and uh...."
it's like where are all the tool fans NOW? and where's all the new TOOL albums NOW?
seriously man, why did they get so huge of a following, only to have it just vanish into nothing.
for that matter...system of a down...
*faaaaart*
Uh? what?...sorry I was asleep again.
tools output is pathetic. I know its been said many times before but....4-5 years to release one album? too bad it takes them 5 years to make an album that essentially sounds the same as the one before it.
however, Adam Jones guitar tone is amazing and I wish he would tour with the melvins more. I miss those good ol days.
Undertow still sounds great. The rest of the albums are ok.
And this shit is a common occurrence at live shows now.
Maynard James Keenan from Tool screws up (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFoWz4fiwCE#)
Last time I saw them was on their first leg of the 10,000 days tour. Hearing Flood was great, the rest of the show was ok aka the light show was more interesting. My friends saw them a year or so after that. I passed. Tool played the same setlist, minus a song or two and Maynard failed to hit the notes on almost every song.
I once met Danny Carey at an A Perfect Circle show. He was playing with Pigmy Love Circus as the opening band. He was hanging out at the merch table after the show. When I noticed him, I walked up to him, shook his hand and asked him to sign an old Tool ticket I kept in my wallet. He refused and said he only signed Pigmy Love Circus merch.

I've never seen a Tool show but i get the impression they are (visually) boring as shit. Maynard hides on his raised platform in the dark, whilst Justin and Adam stay rooted to the spot as the overbearing light show goes about its predictable business. Personally i find an over reliance on lights to be a real turn off at a show. It's like its compensating for something else that is missing in either (A) the showmanship
or (B) the music. For me seeing a band live is as much about the SEEING as the listening. I dont want to be distracted by 3000 ufo spaceship lights beaming down or giant explosions. Leave that crap to U2 and their stupid glittery Lemon vehicle or whatever it is.
I liked Tool live in 2001.
Maybe it was all those psychedellic drugs I used.
Tool was Endorsed by LSD, the second and third album for sure.
There hasn't been Any real LSD going around for a Dog's age.

as for the light show, I guess they don't NEED it, but hey, I guess go for it if you got the cash!

you need to come to vancouver, then.
yea, I DO need a trip out west (no pun intended)!
and maybe visit those circuit bending classes too!
I got a cousin out there just had a newborn baby, I should visit out there in them mountains...
Take a ride on the old LSD train once again, ZZZZT!!! =P~
I've been thinking they should totally play this live. Coady could play the Carey parts/provide counter point to Crover. It would be great! :D
yeah, I'd like to hear some of Coady's chops, see if he can take the pressure.

We all know he's good. Real good so i dont think it would be a problem.
If it wasn't for my love of Tool years ago, I wouldn't have been possessed to buy The Crybaby, making it my first Melvins album, and the first of many. Still an awesome track to this day.
