Tool

Before I heard Tool my music revolved around the heavy metal riffs of Metallica, Megadeth, Sepultura, Wolfgang, the growls of Deftones, Korn, Soulfly, Cheese (Queso), Greyhoundz, the melodic hard rhythm of Silverchair, Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, Faith No More, and the cool and laid-back strumming of Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Oasis, Rivermaya, Seven Mary Three, Days of the New.

When I heard the song "Sweat", I've noticed something familiar that haunted me during my grade school years. A song that randomly played in my mind that I can hardly distinguish and define but somehow I was certain that I already heard it - somewhere between NU 107's or from a neighbor's ear-splitting music tracks. I found out that "Stinkfist" and "Forty-6 and Two" were all Tool songs just like "Sweat" and I knew then that I felt attached to their music of some kind. This band is way too deep and realistic and meaningful than any new bands emerging like weeds in the garden.

It's not just Maynard, it's not just Adam but all of them collaborating to create a more meaningful, unworldly and piercing music that takes anybody to the limits of their humanity to appreciate something more enlightening and out-of-worldly. Great band! Very great band! Their music, words and arrangements are not just a musical influence but a philisophical and spiritual influence to me.

hmm...murag nka kta kog interview ni maynard lately duha duha siya if mubalik pa siya sa Tool and APC cuz for him Tool and APC's songs are from his past mao daw 2 time na frustrated siya and music is the only way to escape it...right now he is happy is his career as a comedian and a businessman and with his new project Pusifer. He also said na dli siya gsto maapektohan iyang anak sa iyang career.

Well, that sounds like John Lennon taking a 5-year hiatus from his music to focus on his son, Sean.
It's a nice way of sequieng to something personal and significant sa iyang life as a musician.

You know what, I somehow agree to your words here. Mine would be 'Otherworldly'; their music is truly different---

I was into APC then I started hearing Tool. When maminaw ka nila it's like being brought to a different environment. I call it "dark". It's comforting and something I can relate to. Their songs dig deep into emotions and Maynard's voice kay power kaayo as their songs are. I remember I used to recruit some of my classmates in college to listen to these two bands and if they didn't like it, I told them balik-balika lang hangtud maganahan ka. It turned out they that they in turn "recruited" other friends to listen.

I like almost all of the APC songs in Mer de Noms and in Thirteenth Step. Sa eMotive kay dili kaayo but I like "Passive". Sa Tool I listen to "The Patient" from Lateralus a lot.

Maynard has a side projct called Pusifer, very musically different from his previous bands.

totally different from his previous bands. more ang Puscifer pagka electronica than his previous works.. pero abit sexed up kaayo..hehe. V IS FOR VAGINA. if you want to hear Maynard and his fascination with *** and the toys then this album will be it. ka remember mo sa Golden Rode(the golden ***** )? hehehe

ka kita ko interview niya sa Attack of the Show iya gi sulti ang meaning REV 22:20. iya daw to gi refer sa book of revelation nya ang naka suwat man kay "He who testifieth these things saith, Yea: I come quickly. Amen: come, Lord Jesus." .... na weirdohan lang ko kay ga sige niya balik2x ang i com quickly, com,lord jesus... he said he wasnt refering to it in a religious manner but in a kinky act of way...hahaha asta bible naa sad daw pagka sexy...hehehe mao kono mas jusnon gyud ang mga pornstar kay mao ila e balik2x "Come, lord jesus, oh God" ang pild "I come Quickly" hehe..ahak

naa sad d i si Milla Jovovich sa Puscifer as Maynard's back up singer..
