TOOL NEEDS VOCALS!!! (oh ya pictures)
16 years 4 albums?
most of what's written on APC's CD label are written like this. for example on their album MER DE NOMS (Sea Of Names in French) if you want to be a hardcore APC fan and you want this font, ask.
In the background it says 'La Cascade des Prenoms' "the waterfall of first names".
Steve and I were talking at work about TOOL/APC. He was the one who got me into those 2 bands. He mentioned taking me to the next concert he's going to. sweet. <3 APC needs to tour more in So Cal. I want to see Static-X too.
TOOL has been around for 16 years and they've only 4 albums. that's quit productive.
Their next album is ready they just need vocals. Where has Maynard James Keenan been? He's too cool for TOOL. He's been hanging out with A Perfect Circle too much. If you don't know who he is. He's lead vocalist for both A Perfect Circle and TOOL.
i was listening to JUDITH from APC. It clearly addresses negativity towards Christianity. However, it does in a very intellegant and literary way. Judith, who was a widow in the Bible, decollated the general Holofernes to save her community. It's believed that God acted through her to save His people. It came to mind when i thought back to the painting i learned about in Art History 115C.
Judith Slaying Holofernes by Artemisia Gentileschi
I forgot why they have the second version where her dress is blue. The 2nd one emphasizes less on the blood.
Lines like "It's not like you killed someone." "He did it all for you." have an ironic and bitter edge to them.
You're such an inspiration for the ways
That I'll never ever choose to be
Oh so many ways for me to show you
How the savior has abandoned you
Fuck your God
Your Lord and your Christ
He did this
Took all you had and
Left you this way
Still you pray, you never stray
Never taste of the fruit
You never thought to question why
It's not like you killed someone
It's not like you drove a hateful spear into his side
Praise the one who left you
Broken down and paralyzed
He did it all for you
He did it all for you
Oh so many many ways for me to show you
How your dogma has abandoned you
Pray to your Christ, to your god
Never taste of the fruit
Never stray, never break
Never---choke on a lie
Even though he's the one who did this to you
You never thought to question why
Not like you killed someone
It's Not like you drove a spiteful spear into his side
Talk to Jesus Christ
As if he knows the reasons why
He did it all for you
Did it all for you
He did it all for you..
I loved and I hated art history. I loved it because of the in depth description of each painting. I hated it because of the dates. I can't memorize things.
oooo. I have more songs to ponder about. Next I'll probably ramble about Orestes. APC's a highly intellectual and literary based band.
