CadetStimpy Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Tommy Castro and The Pain Killers are gonna be playin' 1.4 miles from my house this Saturday at the Stargazers Theater. I might go. I really love funky dance music, and there's a nice dance floor there. What more do I need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmjohn0x Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I feel like I'd be amiss not mentioning the (un)Holy Trinity of Reznor, Maynard, and Chino in this thread about music. And my favorite NIN Music Video: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used Vicarious Sounds like cheating since that is exactly what the song is about. Hell, half of that album is just a running commentary on America.

It was a great choice, just so good It couldve been considered a "cheap" way out. But you cannot deny that it's a bleak take on modern society in America. Gratz on your A and for having good taste in music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmjohn0x Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 I've seen arguments saying that Right in Two is told from the perspective of Satan pre-dissent of humanity as a whole, which is cool to think about but I personally believe it is told from the perspective of a choir of Angels and their view of man in relation to God. Like a conversation amongst themselves on how men seem damned to war. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombeaver Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 The funny thing was that the professor wanted to actually hear the songs or watch the movie that people chose (the class was fairly small), and he was this Albert Einstein lookin' dude with crazy white hair going everywhere, so having him listen to TOOL and seeing his reaction to it was pretty great. I'm fairly certain this guy went to Woodstock in his younger days though so he was pretty cool with it. He was one of the few genuinely great professors I had in my college years.

Could be, although I think people tend to read a lot into TOOL lyrics, probably more than is actually necessary (and I say that as a huge TOOL fan).

Well Maynard doesnt exactly dissuade it, even revealing cryptic meanings behind some songs in the past. Both in Tool and APC. Many refer to Tool as "Intellectual Rock" but it's hard to justify that with songs about fist fucking, "prison sex", and "Hooker with a penis." Not to mention how album art and music videos often allude to the opening of a 3rd Eye or "minds eye" and trippy imagery of spiritual enlightenment.
