Been a TOOL fan for around 11-12 years and they are SCARY good. On DMT, they are nightmarishly GOOD..... so much so I can't even listen to them during a trip but after one it's fine.... 1% of reality is within our plane of existence. What we feel... what we see... what we hear... what we "think" we know... The other 99% percent of reality can only be shown to us through DMT. This 99% lies within the "Realm of the Unknowns". We can only experience FULL reality when we leave this vessel, our bodies. DMT gives us a taste of this full reality... the universal knowledge is given to us by the beings who call "hyperspace" their home. When in hyperspace there is no "self" but instead this self is replaced with pure and raw energy. ENERGY CAN NOT BE DESTROYED, ONLY TRANSFERRED OR TRANSFORMED! So when you have that "ego-death" during a breakthrough trip, don't fret, you are not being destroyed but yet..... YOU ARE BEING TRANSFORMED.
I LOVE YOU, RESPECT YOU AND I THANK YOU... Dimethyltryptamine ... for showing me the 99% of reality that I would never have experienced in everyday life.

This may be somewhat of a cliche to some here on the nexus, but I started paying more attention to them lately, and I must say I seriously dig it. It makes sense and I love this style, though I rarely listen to much rock or metal or whatever. The connection to psychedelics is obvious. Art Van D'lay wrote:Smoalk. It. And. See.

I know this thread is pretty old but....I have to be a part of it because I love Tool so very much...... Besides Pink Floyd.....I have seen no better concert.... - of course I am relatively young and have never seen a 1973 Grateful Dead show or anything like that.... And why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but do not percieve the plank in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, "brother let me remove the speck from your eye", when you yourself do not see the plank that is in your own eye?-Yeshua ben Yoseph

For a while I would listen to Tool at least twice a day.
That's how good they are.
It's useless to try and introduce Tool because I would have to fill pages hah.
Can't wait for the new album.

Awesome. Hopefully they will get to Europe to promote it  "Mama matrix most mysterious." James Joyce

I have yet to try drinking DMT, but I can guarantee you I will be jamming tool and coil in my earphones. As far as smoking goes, I have only had one experience with tool and smoking, but I can say that 10 000 days complimented the trip extremely well, and I feel that it took me a lot deeper and never distracted me from the experience. I love Tool With every great plan comes the pleasure of patience. Take a rest, and grab a suckle off the teat of life!

Tool and DMT seem to go hand in hand. The music along with Maynards voice are so powerful and easily carry you through a journey. Not to mention their album art and graphics are so intensely similar to certain visual patterns we are all familiar with. Only sad thing is that they are an atheist band, its kind of contradictory to search for spiritual revelations listening to that. Idk just my thoughts. Peace and Love. Maybe we don't know what we need.

There's no tool song that has made me resolve to be a gentler, more understanding person the way that prog-pop and chillout music does.
I know we're trying to understand this thing, but it seems about as meaningless and short-sighted to listen to music with lyrics that "might be about DMT" as all those jerks i knew in high school who wore hoodies, didn't smile, and only listened to rap songs about weed. Doesn't it seem redundant, shortsighted, and junkieish to have to wrap this extreme psychedelic experience in obvious, overdone psychedelic art? It's like.. these are things for straights to use so we can say "the experience is very slightly similar to an alex gray painting."
In terms of psychedelic art, i feel like tool/alex gray are obvious, tasteless, and hamhanded, even though I have tremendous respect their talents. I agree. but theres exeption. I like shpongle or bob marley, which both mention from time to time the un-sober realities. Music always sound better on psychadelic. Just for a little music suggestion for you guys to explore on any psychadelic Coltrane- A love supreme or any stuff from 1963. I love the hartman-coltrane record. Zappa- Joe's garage, grand wazoo, burnt weeny sandwich Miles Davis- Electric period. Shpongle Ishq Herbie hancock-anything he did from 1970 to 1975. especially thrust or mwandishi.

I love TOOL and the Mars Volta.
I have seen TOOL 7 times live. Only once not completly lost on psychedelics. Oddly the one time I went just having a few beers was the best, although every show left me with a special memory.
I saw TMV open for system a few years back and thought they were awesome live. So much frantic energy coupled with a softness that is not often replicated in music

I forgot to mention the electronic to listen while on ANY psychedelic (weed included). Shpongle Kettel Aphex twin Those are the three very best. My favorite is kettel. His early stuff is just raw, pure emotion. The guy have a good musical background, and his idm style is highly musical. A must. Album recommended: My dogan Dreim through friendly waters Red pear simon posford (Hallucinogen and shpongle): Hallucinogen- Twisted Shpongle- Are you Shpongle celtic cross- Hicksville Aphex twin: Everything Music is why I'm doing all the Psychedelic. It enhence so much the true power of musical artistitery that its hard to ever listen to music without getting high  cheers βMe only have one ambition, y'know.

Black then white are all I see in my infancy.

reaching out to me, lets me see.
There is so much more and it beckons me to look though to these,
infinite possibilities.

I saw Tool at the start of 2012 during their stint in Australia... MIND BLOWING! All the senses were overwhelmed and I was sober too, simply amazing. They definitely have something in their sound that instantly screams DMT to me (as do most psychedelics too). After I first tried the spirit molecule I got into "10000 Days" and just the repetitious grinding of some of their music instantly recalls back the organic machinery imagery of DMT visuals. Also, the tranquil parts of that album reflect the aftermath of a hyperspace journey to me. As for The Mars Volta... Not much to say, one of my favourite, if not my favourite band. Omar Rodriguez-Lopez in my opinion is a genius. Not just for his music but also his mind, his integrity as an artist and also his philosophies on existence. I was lucky enough to see him play a solo show in a tiny guitar store in Brisbane late last year (also have seen The Mars Volta countless times), the man somehow manages to channel hyperspace through his instrument, incredible! Anyway, enough gushing, it's great to see so many people on here are fans of these musicians Peace and happy traveling... "The love I've made is the shape of my space"
