No. 1: Tool, ‘Lateralus’ – Top 21st Century Metal Songs
As one of the most groundbreaking and analytical pieces of progressive metal, Tool‘s magnum opus, ‘Lateralus,’ comes in at No. 1 on our list of the Top 50 Metal Songs of the 21st Century.
Based on the Fibonacci sequence, an intriguing mathematical pattern found in nature, Tool gained the inspiration from the sequence in various ways. Vocalist Maynard James Keenan chose to house the sequence within his verses, creating a syllabic pattern that aligns with the numerical code of Fibonacci’s work. The song also switches between 9/8, 8/8 and 7/8 time signatures, with the number 987 being the 17th number of the Fibonacci sequence.
In mapping the numerical representation of the Fibonacci sequence, an eternal spiral shape can be formed, which Keenan uses as a metaphor for finding strength within yourself in the lyric, ‘Spiral out, keep going.’ The concept of using color as a metaphor for attaining wisdom can also be found within ‘Lateralus,’ as Keenan describes gaining the ability to see red and yellow after living a life in black and white.
Apart from the concept of ‘Lateralus,’ the nine-minute track (from Tool’s 2001 album of the same name) is a masterpiece even to the casual listener. The innovative cocktail that exists between Maynard Keenan, Adam Jones, Justin Chancellor and Danny Carey cannot simply be manufactured, and as one of music’s purest bands, Tool have risen to legendary prominence by simply sticking to their convictions and offering unparalleled depth to their fans.
Just posted on Facebook is the news that one of Justin’s side projects One White Onion may be playing a show sometime soon.

Aaron Turner hints at Tool studio date
News on progress on the new Tool record is quite elusive at the moment, and while this is nothing concrete, some new information has come to light courtesy of one of our forum members:
Interview with Aaron Turner a few nights ago on RRR radio. They asked him what albums he was looking forward to in 2013. He mentioned Tool and the interviewer commented on the massive gap of nothingness since 10,000 Days. Turner replied that he had heard it from the band themselves that they are looking to start recording the new album in January / February 2013

The beat-box breakdown during Opiate is as interesting as the 2001-era additions of Hawkman from Tricky. Definitely, for that very reason alone, this is a performance that is one for repetition in your Tool-library. The vibe of this show, hell of all the Japanese shows from this era, is about as experimental as Tool tends to get on stage. Highly recommended. This is also the only recording, that I can think of, where you hear Justin Chancellor's voice...

Justinism: "the human beat box band."

At Opiate, the middle section was stretched and two Human-Beat-Box performers appeared and play scratch noise or synth-drum like voices. There're no Synth. Good performance.

First show of 2002 & has the world premiere of the Parabola video. Extremely clear audience recording. This performance was almost a carbon copy of the 2001 tour as well which for the Japanese audience was only quasi-new. The crowd is very mellow during & between songs. Clapping/cheering when they are, ideologically, supposed to. This is very different from listening to an American audience.
In America, when we talk, we seem to want everyone to hear our opinion for some reason. At this show, there are time when it is completely silent in the theatre. Very cool. This source is, if absolutely nothing else, an accurate capture of the performance, what more can one really ask for?
