Tab Discussion, Comments, and Critiques


No Picture Chris Average	#1 by Chris Tucker at Feb 16, 1978 at 11:43 PM EST
	this is the greatest song i think Tool has wrote next to lateralus. The song is 13 minutes of pure music heaven. Going to one part where the song is so punding you almost get a headache, to silence..... where all you hear is a little tap on the bass drum. The lyrics now are incredible I know its alll about doing acid and opening your third eye. But i think thats cool. He has some amazing trips. But anyway the song is incredible. oh yea by the way when listening to this song high its almost like going to heaven.

No Picture *Lee Average	#2 by Lee at Sep 17, 1981 at 9:43 PM EST
	I'd think it'd be something more along the lines of DMT, Salvia, or Peyote(like OceanOfChaos said).

No Picture Jeremy Average	#3 by Jeremy Rees at Dec 2, 1987 at 3:18 PM EST
	ketamine. look at the jacket, the dissociative anesthetic part. oddly enough the answer's right there...

No Picture Squats Average	#4 by Squats at Jan 2, 1992 at 6:16 PM EST
	this song is obiviously about drugs opening up his eyes, all three of them, and showing him everything that he couldnt see with out them, maybe not maynard, but someone.

No Picture Justin Average	#5 by Justin Ruiz at Apr 8, 1992 at 6:02 AM EST
	This is Tool's Stairway to heaven.

No Picture Euroynmous Average	#6 by Euroynmous at Jul 6, 1995 at 5:46 PM EST
	Hmm.. I posted a comment on this song a long time ago, it seems to have been deleted. This song is the grand finale of Ænema. This collaberation of every meaning behind the other songs in Ænema is a metaphoric sea of beauty. It reminds us to keep an omnispective view of everything, to question and contemplate existance, to not believe blindly, amongst other things.

No Picture batman Average	#7 by batman chum at Dec 17, 1996 at 11:33 PM EST
	"Came out to watch you play Why are you running away?" then "I thought that you were hiding And you thought that I had run away" I just thought I'd comment on this strangely written part. It's MJK writing about himself, as two people. One him thought that the other him was hiding, and the "hiding" him thought the other was running away ("Chasing the tail of Dogma"). As small as it is, most people probably don't recognize this, but it's a beautifully written piece. Good times, good times...
