Fun fact; Danny Carey laid down the whole drum track in his first and only take. He wanted to do this to challenge himself but the band was trying to distract him through the studio window. You can subtlety hear Danny at the end "Aw, you fuckin' bastard!" to his mates. Dude is a legend!
yeah, its a fun story, but this is another online myth that was started fairly recently. I know that Danny back then really didn't record to a click-track (its very common drummers do)... think it may have got lost in translation along the way.
@@forgetaboutit1069 well, I worked for the band from ‘95 through the Lateralus era, so can verify no song was ever done in one take only. Not sure when the rumor came about, but I’ve only heard about it online years later.
@@forgetaboutit1069 exactly, you forgot the detail that Danny was also riding a unicycle while juggling flaming drum sticks during that 1 and only take. Salud 🥂
Heard that MJK lost his voice after singing that. But we love Tool because they r so real and u can hear and feel the anger. They r true 2 their craft and don't worry about radio play. Heard Adam say on a podcast that radio only cuts up their songs anyway and he loves and appreciates the Tool fans for being so loyal to them.
This is a true story. 'Ticks & Leeches' was the last song he recorded vocals on the album and did blow his voice out for about a week or so afterwards.
I miss those car videos. 😭 Tool never gets old! Can’t tell you how many times I’ve listened to this album front to back..all their albums for that matter. They’re living, breathing art.
LOVE!!! Car days fan here, love you and your passenger!!! And what can you say about TooL that hasn't already been said.......hey the record company wanted a certain piece of music.....and I hope this is what they had in mind......cause this was what they got!
Listening in the car (with a good system) is great for feeling the music, but there is nothing quite like LISTENING with great headphones. You should redo all your car days if you haven't heard them a lot.
I know its been more of an online urban legend that the song is directed at the music label. The fact is, that Tool originally signed their record contract to a very small record label (Zoo/Volcano Ent) for the purpose of having 100% creative control over what they make. The "record label" at that time was made up of 2 guys (Cliff Bernstein & Peter Mensch) - and it was far from what you'd think some big corporate entity is. From what I know, they hadn't even heard any music from Lateralus until the band was in the mixing process of recordings. Their rection was indifferent and perhaps was discussed that the album didn't have a clear "radio friendly" song - but that's as far as it went! The band already had 100% creative control, so its not like Cliff & Peter's opinion had much sway anyway. This era was a tense moment in the band's history and they nearly broke up in the studio a few times. A lot of the lyrical content is more reflective of the band's inner atmosphere on the album - song to song., not just this one.
Love this. Totally makes sense. I’m sure there’s a LOT to unpack before, after, and during sessions, recordings, and meetings. But it almost sounds like the objectivity of time lets them share memories over drinks and laughs.
Just so epic and breath taking! So satisfying! So happy you shared this with your passenger! 😂 Just wizards showing off their sonics and lyrical sorcery!❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥
Love you guys, living Vicariously through your reactions always makes my day. I remember your Tool days, you are alot more happy now, guess that has to do with the amazing woman sitting next to you. So happy you both found each other ❤❤❤❤
the middle section when it slows down is a little long but the buildup is done so good, i always just go for the ride. they are so good at building tension
The mythology of this song is that the record label was pressuring them for a heavier song that could be marketed against Slipknot or System of a Down. So the purposefully wrote in that super chill break in the middle of the song as an F U knowing the rep would only listen the first minute or two and sign off on the song.
Yeah, and the quiet midsection ruins the label's chance of making it a single, which is brilliant. I feel like their last track in 2019, Mockingbeat is an extension of this motif, of the middle finger
It says a lot of this album that this is easily my least favourite track. I've heard it was aimed at the label that heard some of the stuff they had written for the album and asked for something that's heavier and to the point. "So this is what you wanted, then this is what youre getting". It's a cool track but doesn't quite fit in with the other songs.
Oh bro, I love you two, but I wish you would let her speak more, like, you are always interrupting her thoughts and exposing yours... Maybe I'm biased, but maybe I'm an honest fan of your work and would like to see it get better.. let her talk!
