Total legend! Yeah there’s a ton of Tool lore that I’d love to know the answers to! Did you check out the full 2 hour interview with David? I ask 25 mins straight of in depth Tool questions! 🤘🔥
@@joelmartinmastery I will check that out next then. Great job on the video too man. Most people who interview anyone who worked with Tool always asks about Maynard the whole time. If you get a chance to interview him again, PLEASE ask him to elaborate on the messages. You can hear one plainly in track 7 of Aenima at 1.42 in the left channel say "Consume. Be fruitful and multiply" but there are tons across all albums. I figured since he actually recorded the messages he could tell us some of them. I would really love to know what the whispering says in the later half of Third Eye.
@@spiraloutkeepgoing I doubt David could remember them during an interview. I know what you mean though. There’s some in hooker with a p as well in the bridge section. If you mean the ones in the third eye section at 6:55… they are, “A child's rhyme stuck in my head, It said that life is but a dream, I've spent so many years in question, To find I've known this all along…”. That’s pretty clear to hear though. There are other parts, like at 10:30 mins onwards and around 11:30 before the guitar solo, which might even also being playing backwards making it even more difficult. I don’t think Maynard intended for us to be able to know what they are, so they might just be him whispering gibberish.. ?
I'd still love to know the hidden messages on No Quarter where Maynard is lightly whispering. At one point the "message" became irrelevant. I'd still love to know what he said, lol.
part two would be amazinggg. i gotta hear more detail about tricks they used for bass tone, what david thinks of 10,000 Days, and maybe even more details abt TOOL's writing process in general, like how they put parts together. Great interview!!
I always kind of felt that Aenema was Adam's album, Lateralus was Danny's album and 10K days was Justin's album. Obviously they're each a part of the whole but they really shine individually on each those albums. And I will say that IMO Fear Inoculum is the most cohesive Tool album to date; the writing is so insanely good and they're so intertwined that the album is kind of a marvel to me. Maybe not my favorite album but just an insane feat of musicianship and composition IMHO.
@@joelmartinmastery I've felt AEnima is a Danny Carey LP. It's the first one that REALLY showcased his skillset prominently. That's how I feel about Lateralus/Chancellor, 10,000 Days/Keenan, and Fear Inoculum/Jones.
That's great stuff, I could listen to this guy talk about Tool for hours! I'm curious to know what Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan works he produced, wikipedia says nothing about it. I wasn't aware that he produced two of my favorite artists.
Good job on this interview dude! I will check out the full 2 hour version. I’ve recorded a lot of bands and played guitar and been a singer in bands too, and I just wanted to clear a couple things up that you got a bit inaccurate. When you talked about ‘breaking drums’, that isn’t really a thing when you talk about drummers like Danny. Dave Grohl, sure, he hit the drums so hard that the stick probably broke through the drum skin often at live Nirvana shows. In the recording studio with drummers at the pro level, when they are recording a song they replace the drum skin (especially) on the snare drum every few hours of recording. It’s the same with guitarists and guitar strings. If Adam Jones is recording guitars for 8 hours straight, every hour or so his guitar tech would come in and take his guitar for 10 minutes, and put new strings on, and then give it back to him. Guys at this level can hear the difference, and need the sound to stay super consistent. They actually ‘tune’ the drums by tightening or loosening the skins on each part of the drum which is done by ear, not with an electronic device like how a guitarist uses a guitar tuner. So the concept of ‘breaking’ the drum skin is foreign. especially during recording with a drummer at Danny’s level who probably hasn’t broken a drum skin in decades. Like David said, Danny doesn’t hit the drums like your standard drummer does. He has an amazing ability to hit them with far less full arm downward velocity and still get a big sound. Very rare!
Its funny hearing him say Bath, I live in Bath, but in New York I love reading about the history of town Names and where they derive from ..... especially a name like Bath lol
One of my guests on the “My 5 Fav Albums” series chose that album as one of his all time favs! th-cam.com/video/UGiWHyTap04/w-d-xo.htmlsi=TA83GchXG_CVuBJw
@@joelmartinmastery great interview. Recommended checking the songs “fazer” and “dine alone”. Quicksand’s own sound grew on manic compression and I love that album as a whole more. But slip changed music
Shortly after that interview I updated my wall to have album covers! I interviewed David a year later if you’d like to check out that one with the new background!
Can we just appreciate that David Bottrill, Robert Plant, and Jimmy Page were in a room together listening to TooL?😳
Incredible!
No shit!😮
It's hard for my brain to comprehend! 😂🔥🤘
Man, what a legend! It would be awesome if he would share some of the "hidden" background messages and vocals are on the Aenima and Lateralus albums.

Lateralus would probably be my deserted island album.
Great interview buddy. Great questions, good flow, never came off as a fanboy while being a fan. Enjoyed it!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the interview!
I could talk with Mr. Botrill for like a day I think, breaking down every single track from Aenima and Lateralus!
Me too! We’ll have to do a part 2!

@@Fakename70 I agree, Undertow didn’t really showcase Danny’s skills!
About that, I feel Aenima is Maynard's album, Lateralus is Adam's, 10000 days is Justin's album and Fear inoculum is Danny's.
I think Aenima is the best drum album of all time when you go through all the possible evaluation categories.
What a great interview!
@@marmarsmandalas thank you! 🙏

if I could choose a producer for album,i would choose David Bottrill.
That would be my choice as well!
The Fibonacci pattern is actually a Tabla drill that is well known and used in India, ftr
Those interludes also allow time for tuning during concerts
That’s a good point!

Thanks for watching and thanks for the insight!
It's very difficult to puncture a drum head with a drumstick. Unless the drum head is very worn out.
Aenima is a level I dont think any band (including Tool) has equaled since
Lateralus is better.
Its funny hearing him say Bath,
I live in Bath, but in New York
I love reading about the history of town Names and where they derive from ..... especially a name like Bath lol
Who knew there were so many places called Bath! 😂
That impromptu Boyle-Page convergence could've/must've been awkward. Especially with Robert in the other room.
Bottrill lives in Bath? wtf my favourite producer/mixer of all time live 30 miles down the road from me?
I think he lives in Toronto, Canada now!
He also produced King Crimson!
Anyone know if Aenima was mixed on a neve console?
Good question!
Well said.
🤘🔥
Tool can cover any other band's song. My favourite musicians with King Crimson musicians.
didn't anyone tell Plant and Page about Tool's cover of No Quarter?!

Tool’s sound was HEAVILY influenced by quicksand’s slip album

According to Adam Jones, he was just an engineer but insisted on being credited as a producer.
auditory palate cleansers.
I think so!
Great interview. Terrible posters lmao

The posters are bangers. Let the guy do what he wants.
