Brendan Duffy I think he’s implying Lusk is one of the lesser known projects he’s worked on, never the less I fucking love Paul and wish he stayed on with Tool, they would be a massively different band
@@FeaturedPixel be interesting to see eh. I do wonder. But you cannot deny the brilliance of Lateralus is all. Playing wise I think I prefer playing Paul's stuff at the moment. Opiate and Undertow. Havent got to Lateralus, 10000 and FI.
I love hearing demos of my favorite albums. Sometimes hearing the music stripped down to its infancy can be amazing, especially when it's recorded raw.
I know, I love pink floyd's animals because theres the first draft of dogs and sheep in 1974 then in 1976 theres an early version of the complete album setlist
Honestly I didn't appreciate mudvayne till I heard demos and suddenly I realized the genius of that band. Demos can really show you a new vibe to bands you've known for years.
Finally gave these a listen. This is 2019, and after knowing about this being released in 2007. D'amour's, crunchier, more percussive sound is definately there, and reminds me of TOOL'S vintage sound. I like the way the album came out though, with Chancellor adding his more subtle bass tones. But, it makes me appreciate where D'amour took the band. Good listen, I'm glad I finally gave this a listen after knowing it existed all these years.
Did they rerecord D'Amour's bass parts? I was under the impression that they did not. I still like the direction Tool took after Aenima, but Aenima is still my favorite album of all time.
It wasn't until Lateralus that Justin really started to make his mark on the band, in terms of what we now recognize as his "signature" bass tone and writing/playing style, and this demo really sort of shows the extent to which he was basically just coloring by the numbers on Aenima, i.e. with the parts that Paul had originally come up with. So its interesting to hear, as background for how swapping Paul for Justin played a role in Tool's progression from Aenima (and Undertow/Opiate) to Lateralus and beyond.
I love the demos. I always like to listen to the demos of my favourite records and see how the songs evolve untill the original record version. Thank you for uploading 'em.
I’ve never heard the demos for this album. It’s still one of my fav tool albums. It definitely has more of an Undertow sound than what Aenima ended up having. Thanks for posting this !!
Outta this world! I heard that these surfaced in 2007 online well over a decade after the album was initially released (my favorite tool album), MJK sounds sounds so young, like undertow era! Excited to see these guys on tour they still kick ass! Hopeful for some new material however them just continuing to stay together as a band is enough for this OGT.
I'm seeing a trend with Stinkfist that Maynard would progressively sing the heavier sections softer as the years go by. He sounds so raw and impactful here, more than the final album version.
These songs where so far ahead of their time when the album was released, let alone in 94’. Incredible. Also I’m surprised the interlude bass in Pushit was Paul, though Justin played it with more fluidity on the album.
Pushit went through such a transformative process. From this demo, to the studio version, to another spin they did during a live show (ruclips.net/video/LGbel0NZpXo/видео.html). Phenomenal song.
im late to the party but so were these demos, thanks for sharing...i actively listened to this band for many years and downloaded anything i could possibly find related to them, but never stumbled onto this one
Danny Octopus Arms Carey is really the true highlight here. Maynard sounds so raw and hungry for success, Paul has that raw bass sound that is very guitar like and blends with Adam very well and adds so much punch to their sound. Adam has a way to make simple melodies sound great and are laden with so much emotion and creativity. TOOL definitely created a niche all their own and doing so created a aperture of endless possibilities and perspectives ✌🏽♥️
Increddddible! Never heard the demo's!! Having a completely new TOOL experience right now!!!! The last time this happened was Nov 11, 2020, hearing F.I in Toronto live. Shivvers!
@@Schaz42yeah, the material I love the most was written with Paul even though I fondly appreciate what Justin has contributed. Once I found out that Stinkfist, Eulogy and Aenima were written with Paul everything made a lot more sense.
Paul was really great. I still think of Justin as the new bassist even though he’s played with tool longer and done more albums with them. Weird how that works.
Check out his isolated vocal stems sometime, it's not all that different. I mean he still sounds insane but it's like a god like singer vs a literal god of singing lol ..
Fucking amazing to hear these songs in a pre-polished state while maintaining the energy, vibe and magic. Reminded me of hearing this album for the first time back in '96 -Thank you so much for sharing.
Quinn Minnehan en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_D'Amour, probably not the best source, I’ve also read it elsewhere, but go to bass gear on the page and it’ll tell you. Paul was predominantly using MM Stingrays during this period (94-95)
I think this is a perfect example that you could say when you change one band member you change a little of the Dynamics about a band. Now I remember why I enjoyed Paul Bass so much. Quite honestly I enjoy both Bass styles. But I think Paul doesn't get the recognition he so deserves for his sound.
I was buying the bootleg VHS tapes of their live shows prior to AEnima releasing and these early version of those songs always hit harder than the studio mix on that album for me.
Definitely preferred Tool’s music with Paul in the fold. Where more of a “forward thinking hard rock band” then the straight up Prog-Rock act that they are now
Agree. I loved Tool when they had testosterone, and didn’t feel like they NEEDED to make every one of their songs in some goofball 17/8 time signature… as if playing in 4/4 is now somehow “beneath” them? There’s a reason people FEEL grooves in more standard, straightforward time signatures… It’s wired into our DNA on a primal level. You feel that shit in your heart and your balls! Which is how Tool, I feel, USED to write & compose. There was a PRIMAL element. Now their songs are (admittedly impressive) math problems that are written with their brains/heads. But yeah, to the detriment of losing the balls/heart factor. Weird background music for yoga studios is more like what they do now. 😕🤷🏻♂️
@@Simsimma33 Uh, okay? Go… buy more dorky comic book t-shirts and make more online accounts so you can leave comments on other peoples’ stuff, but not offer anything creative or of any substance yourself? 🤷🏻♂️
The algorithms have failed me, incredibly have not heard or known about this until now. What I find the most fun is hearing which elements were there from beginning, and which were added later, especially regarding the vocals - how some small details were completely semented for the demos, when some of the choruses were not at all finished and nowhere near as epic as they would end up. Love it.
I know Paul wrote these songs with Tool and did most of the writing, but IMO Justin just owns them. Especially Ænema and Pushit. Not saying I hate Paul (Stinkfist could have been on Undertow and it would have been perfect), but I don’t think the band would have evolved musically with Paul the way they are now.
@@Minnevan they wouldn’t have evolved to what Tool ultimately became because it’s well documented that Paul didn’t care for the direction they were going into with the more prog focus and long, atmospheric interludes. They’d still be good I’m sure but just much different than what they are now
@@RobotSnakeyeah they did evolve, you can tell how in 10k and fear how they’re slowly and slowly getting more proggier, slow progression is still progression
Felt that Pushit was the closest to the final product than the other tracks. Only 3 lines that vary from the final version other than the switch of two lines at the end.
Does anybody know what he’s saying at 3:28? I’m also wondering what he’s saying at the part of the chorus where in the studio version he says show me that you love me and we belong together.
I didn't realize Paul damour wrote the bulk of anemia I thought j Chandler came in ànd was the Bass wizard so Paul d amour U are a the wizard of aenima
Nah, not the bulk of aenima. I wouldn't want to live in a universe in which aenima's missing songs like third eye, H. or Forty six and two, basslines you simply wouldn't get with D'amour. Not to discredit him though. I think he was there for the right time and for the right songs.
@@batigol47 I was looking some things up after my initial comment and I came across an interview where Justin himself said he co-wrote H. While the official ASCAP website credits Paul with writing H, it also incorrectly credits Justin with writing Aenema, which leads me to believe that it may not be reliable.
@@austinthelizard8370 Do you know which interview that was? I don't remember it and would love to read. I know that Justin said the first thing he wrote with Adam was 46 & 2 (from interviews last year 9/19 where Justin says they had written 3.5 songs though these 4 clearly were pretty fully formed already), which he wrote the main line for in excitement on his way over sometime after Paul left in September of '95. They were playing a near full formed H. as Half Empty on New Year's 95/96, and knowing how they work, it is pretty crazy that it would have beaten 46 & 2 to the punch that way. Not impossible mind you, but seems unlikely. I did some more research and saw that there was a comment on the old TDN board that said they debuted the new Half Empty song they wrote with Justin on 12/15/95, but I think it is just an assumption, because lo and behold that concert audio is on youtube in excellent quality and the song (fully formed it sounds, as it was two weeks later) has no comments before or after to give the info that Justin wrote on it. It is just inferred from that source.
I have to wonder where Paul is these days. He definitely added a creepy factor to the sound that made them what they've become. I dig JC, but Paul has more bottom end and punch to it. I first heard Tool in 94 and was immediately bitch slapped by the bass. I think if he and the band are still getting along it would be stellar to see him and the band reunite for a few gigs. Double stuff like Oreos ...this is killer, thanks for sharing. Question Authority, Think For Yourself...🤯👽
If it really is Paul playing bass here why does he holds copyrights for "H." over "AEnema" according to ASCAP? In this demo he supposedly plays "AEnema", but Justin is the one credited as co-creator.
Jimmy Gebo Justin said the first song he wrote was 46&2 in an interview. But he could have written H. too I honestly don’t remember. Do you remember where you heard this?
Tool could play fucking Green Day and make it sound good. Well that's pushing it. ;) But still amazing. We waited so long for "Fear Inoculum" (13 damn years). I, for one, loved it. "Descending" and "Invincible" were AMAZING! The rest of the album was great, but "Aenima" is untouchable. I loved the whole Tool journey, and when I saw them live again in Philly on 11/19/20, I almost cried. Ok I did cry at the end of their 30 minute encore. I admit it. Talk about a standing ovation. Holy Christ! Maybe Fear Inoculum was their final encore. But now with this COVID quarantine, I hear they're working on a new EP. Yeah buddy! Why can't Tool play forever?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And in there purest form. Well live is the purstest. Less production
Youre right
The fact that Paul D'Amour is the one that created all those awesome parts on "Stinkfist" and "Eulogy" means he's even greater than I thought.
indeed ! also he did an amazing work on Feersum Ennjin.. Saludos Santino!
I've liked everything D'Amour has done or been a part of, even Lusk.

Been listening to Tool since late '94 and never knew D' Armour wrote these bass lines. Awesome!

Wow this really shows off how much Maynard was a natural tenor and developed his lower range and weight of his voice over the years
I get what you're saying but it think this is also partly to the overall higher pitch produced by the tape
I enjoyed this vocal variation on Stinkfist when he says "to breathe, to feel, to know I'm alive". I might actually prefer it.
Yes

Undertow vocal vibe.
Every TOOL fan needs to know about this. Especially the end of Euology.
Paul deserves more credit
I wouldn’t have minded him continuing on with Tool and developing his style more. Justin’s a gem of a bassist though of course.
He was a great bassist in the band, but personality wise he clearly didn’t fit the vibe.

Maynard. Amazing range
haaha sounds like the Melvins.
You can tell david bottril was a great choice on this album. Can’t be understated.
Does anyone know why the pitch seems to be a bit higher than normal?

I like a lot about these, but most of the things they changed were worth it. Still cool to hear a lot of great ideas they didn't end up using tho.
Tool could play fucking Green Day and make it sound good. Well that's pushing it. ;) But still amazing. We waited so long for "Fear Inoculum" (13 damn years). I, for one, loved it. "Descending" and "Invincible" were AMAZING! The rest of the album was great, but "Aenima" is untouchable. I loved the whole Tool journey, and when I saw them live again in Philly on 11/19/20, I almost cried. Ok I did cry at the end of their 30 minute encore. I admit it. Talk about a standing ovation. Holy Christ! Maybe Fear Inoculum was their final encore. But now with this COVID quarantine, I hear they're working on a new EP. Yeah buddy! Why can't Tool play forever?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Green Day is easily more musically progressive and intelligent than a generic pop rock band like Tool.
I like green day it's just different
