Problem #1 that needs to be addressed: Creed boards.

[Lateralus11235]

i mean what else is out there right now on the mainstream. the new muse album came out a month or so ago, and it was pretty disapointing aside from a few decent tracks. Creed's new album is the only thing that has gotten my interest since Masoton's Crack the Skye and that was like 8 months ago now. They aren't really that good, but compared to nickelback and seether and all that other junk on the radio their still pretty decent... their guitarist is very good actually.

i am just upset that there is NO new tool news whatsoever. like a year and a half ago they said that they were gonna release their next album sooner than normal because they are getting older and time is running out... plus their whole "we release albums ever 5 years because that way we can grow as artists" thing was kinda pointless on 10k days because it wasn't much of a change from their previous material, more of a combination of their previous material.

It has been 3 1/2 years since Tool's last album was released, and we have heard nothing so far as to what to expect with their next album. I am just sick of them releasing an album every 5 years because they are lazy.... yeah i said it... lazy.

yes creed boards.... if you played guitar you would understand... if you do play guitar and your not familiar with their guitarist you are missing out.

i learned how to play stairway to heaven on the guitar a few months ago..
it blew my mind. It was the highlight of the month for me.

Suffer an ego death, then I'll listen.

haha you dont know ego death boy,
Did you swallow some triple Cs and have an ego death for a few hours or something?
haha try having one without drugs,
then try recollecting your sanity through the years of cognitive dissonance that follow

[Sano]

Oh, snap.

First of all do not refer to me as boy. For the record, the only drug I use (occasionally) is mary jane, and that's just to help with the nausea associated with receiving chemotherapy, asshat.

Ego death can be achieved in many ways, and I will say that in my case, it had nothing to do with drugs. It had to do with clean mountain air, and solitude.

if you had experienced ego death you wouldn't have said "suffer an ego death, then i'll listen"

I wouldn't call it suffering. I have had real suffering, and that had nothing to do with ego.

So have I
We don't have to be arguing, we could be brothers.
I've been there too man, I promise you.
Just because I came to this forum with an "I dont give a shit about my reputation" attitude doesn't mean we have to be enemies.
I can respect your accomplishments, just as I hope you could respect mine.
We've mistaken each other as enemies, when the real enemy is still out there (or arguably, the real enemies are those who think there are still enemies when there are none).
I regret coming across as offensive.
I'm not an idiot, and neither are you. I've written over 250+ pages of my own original philosophy. I am no stranger to the occult, or to the abstract - and neither are you from the looks of it. The fact that you even know what an "ego death" is tells me that you are well beyond the others - those uneducated individuals who make up the majority of our population.
I've shown you respect now, and I hope you could do me the same favor in the future.
