Been blaring Motörhead all night, and now drinking whiskey because it seems fitting. RIP.

Continuing through Floyd's discography. Made it through Obscured by Clouds by quitting time yesterday. Now onto the real good stuff.

First Scott Weiland and now Lemmy. RIP.

...And yet, Keith Richards lives on.

That man is some kind of Highlander.

I think he's just effectively embalmed himself while still living.

He looks like Alice Cooper in full makeup.

Yeah, Tool blows my mind. I have no idea how they even come up with the idea for some of the stuff they do, let alone actually put the concept into fabrication

Yeah... even though Maynard vehemently denies that The Holy Gift was ever intended. But, he is a major troll, so... the jury is out for me.

Don't have a link but found a post from someone who translated it from a German magazine.

VISIONS: Another side effect is that your psychedelic visual style and your image do fire your fans’ imagination. There are people who say you have to listen to Lateralus beginning with the centred song Parabola towards the outside, others see occult…

Keenan: That’s bull****. That is all bull****. Every human does search for moments in which all makes sense. And those who search in music, will find. People have developed countless theories about Tool songs and what they mean. Theories about the playing order on our albums or the lyrics which can be reduced to a numeric pattern. Occultism equals fear. Much like religions, radical people use the occult to manipulate others. Most people who are practising those strange disciplines want truth. Because they’re tired of the lies which are told to them.

"The Holy Gift" reordering is debatable, but the 10,000 Days/Wings For Marie/Viginti Tres sync is so blatantly intentional once you hear it.

And slow-mo Parabol is just fvcking cool.

LOL, Maynard is so awesomely weird. Not sure if you've listened to the latest Puscifer album but the track Simultaneous starts with a 2 minute long rambling speech about some guy who met him at a music festival:

"So, the first time I saw him was at the annual city festival, at the end of the plaza, on, uh, "Punker Hill", also known as "The Island of Misfits". Um, It's like a mound of black leather and army surplus jackets and boots and spiky egg-white hairdos and mohawks and second generation Exploited and Minor Threat and Sex Pistols patches and stuff. Basically a haven for the misunderstood punk-y, rock-y, goth-y, "Woe is me" types

And, uh, there he was, right in the middle of it all. Um, oversized yellow foam cowboy hat; pink plastic Toys-R-Us pistols and holster. Off-white dashiki, uh, shirt, and tattered bell bottom jeans, leather feet, Raleigh cigarette finger stains. And he was an island within an island, and I just, kinda had to know more

So, I, uhh, I sat with him for hours just trying to get a bearing on his beautiful insanity. Every third inquiry was met with, you know, an eloquent but unusual response, and, you know, the subsequent exchange, it kinda warranted continuing the conversation, because he was, he was interesting. Uh, 'course the other, the other reason my efforts where dismissed, while he took in the constant flow of the festival crowd, all around us

A raging river of multi cultural river of music, art, food, families, uh, all of this with his Walkman at full volume. I think it was Foreigner, playing through the headphones. And I asked maybe, you know "Hey maybe you could turn that down, so we can talk? ", and he replied "Can you hear me"? and I said "Yes", he said "Well, then it's fine". He never really pretended, not once, to be able to organize all of this chaos that was going on around us. Uh, he just unapologetically chose which pieces to focus on

Well, you know, after a few hours we seemed to have found our stride, found our rhythm, kinda settled into it, and we're having these intermittent conversations, uh, flipping back and forth between the chaos and the focus. And then, just kinda out of nowhere, he seemed to become a little unsettled and disturbed. And I asked him what was wrong and he just blurted out "Peanuts parents and syrup", and then he looked at me like I wondered what that means, and then he said, "You have any, do you have any batteries?"

So, basically his, his walkman was running out of power, and he just needed batteries, so before I could ever turn and ask one of our fellow punkers for some double-A's, he grabbed my face with both hands, and then for the first time in the entire conversation, he, gave me his complete focus and attention, completely present, and calmly said "We will never know world peace, until three people can simultaneously look each other straight in the eye"



Funny thing is, I've seen that giant foam cowboy hat

I would listen to Maynard take a dump in a portapotty at this point.

So... yes. Haha.

That speech is good, thought it was pretty cool myself.

Moving on to what was arguably Pink Floyd's best album:

He looked like a dinosaur already when he was 30.

Too soon for another one dammit...

I hadn't heard of it, googled it & it sounds interesting. I'll have to listen to it sometime.

It's a good reordering... makes the whole album have a heavier feel to it, if you ask me.

But, I've listened to it several times and focusing on the transitions, I really don't think it was intended.

I still prefer the album in its original order.

I used to love this album when I was much younger... lost some of its luster now, but good for nostalgia.

Tool is one of the few bands where I still listen to albums from start to finish in order. Most other bands I just press shuffle and play. I'll have to check out this holy gift thing.

It's neat enough to warrant a listen, that's for sure.

Im still on the fence about it too. But the first transition from Parabola to Schism is spot on. You can totally feel the resonance from the two notes that are an octave apart when they line it up. Triad to The Grudge is pretty spot on too. They are playing the same chords and general rhythm at the beginning/end of those tracks. Also, the transition from Eon Blue Apocalypse to Reflection seems to make sense of that weird kettle drumming on the outro of Eon Blue

I'm listening through it right now (nothing much going on, so I can focus on it without distraction). I agree that some transitions work better than others. The segue from Faaip de Oiad into the 2nd half of the album was awkward.
