Danny grew up in Paola, KS. Relatively normal, an element of mystery was added to Danny's childhood when one day he spied his father with a large sword conducting a Masonic ritual. Danny would later notice himself performing similar movements when he began playing drums at the age of thirteen. As Danny progressed through high school and then college at the University of Missouri in Kansas City he began supplementing his studies in percussion with speculation into the principles of geometry, science, and metaphysics. A commitment to life as an artist brought Danny to LA where he was able to perform as a studio drummer with projects like Carole King and play around town with Pygmy Love Circus. He would later find an outlet for addressing a fuller scope of his potent More... (Submit New Tool Lyrics) (Submit New Tool Lyrics) Review about Tool um | Reviewer: Marissa ------ About the song Rosetta Stoned performed by Tool I think everything that needed to be said about the song, has been said. Kickass song. I just want to point out how much I love that when I came to this page, the ad on the right side was for the movie Fourth Kind. I love irony. Really, Josh? | Reviewer: Snarf ------ About the song Schism performed by Tool Though I have no idea what the true meaning of this song is, I can most assuredly say that Keenan was not discussing how a secular Christianity has destroyed our society. I think he believes that Christianity did that from the start, what with the fact that its very fundamentals breed dichotomy and dissonance. Look at Judith-APC or The Patient-Lateralus, and you can see how his mother's blind belief in Christianity ruined her life. Fuck your God! Your Lord! Your Christ! The very fact that the world is cut and divided by lines of religion and arbitrary values should disgust you, and make you wonder why. But it doesn't, because you are too blinded by your differences to see your similarities. And what you are losing as you secularize yourself more and more. Balance is what is needed. But the world is shaped by its contrasts. get it straight guys | Reviewer: zilla ------ About the song Right in Two performed by Tool Actually ....... "talking monkeys" and "tug of war" is a reference to a movie - I'll let you figure which one. The story has to do with an ongoing battle in heaven started by Arch Angel Gabriel. See Gabriel jealous that God gave souls to humans - aka "talking monkeys" and he is rather pissed off about it. So much that he started a war in heaven and created a stale mate. No souls will ascend until it is resolved - so they all remain here. "Right in Two" is referencing the division of the two sides of the battle. On one side you have the angels loyal to Gabriel and on the other you have the angels loyal to God. The two sides have been battling for at least a couple millennium. You all have read into this way too much. I wonder what you think 10,000 days is about? I'll give you a hint - his name is Judas. tool's lyrics | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Stinkfist performed by Tool I could never get into tool's music and i know exactly why. You must create your own meaning to the songs. I feel with music, actually anything, meaning should be somewhat clear and not have 40 interpretations. I feel like I am reading a Nostra dumb-ass quatrain. These words are so "brilliantly abstract" that they have minimized their value to the point where they can be applied to almost anything. In other words I think it's ridiculous when a band has written lyrics so cryptic that no one knows what they mean and then tries to decipher the meaning to tell others who have no idea what it means. note | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Lateralus performed by Tool people offended by walls of text and other people's innocent opinions: don't read them people desperate to share their opinions and thoughts with the faceless crowd known as the internet: go ahead, but it's kind of pathetic and implies that you have no friends (I do like some of the stuff you guys wrote though) H.eaven or H.ell | Reviewer: LovelyDay LoL ------ About the song H. performed by Tool Tool can make you feel close 2 GOD and the devil for this is the reflection of the swaying of human life but this song is my favorite cause when a musician is making some songz and he is "swaying" the negative songz feels as if its the "snake" singing them himself in which he is using us as a "TOOL" 2 destroy others "Looking to turn my piss to wine"(my uncleanness into glory) ..but i believe this songz explains satan tryna hold u back and GOD pulling u forward basically...another thing is when youre depressed you actually at times feel "numb" unable 2 feel nor cry..and as the snake drowns he relize how he let the devil controlled his life and he overcomes as he looks 2 GOD having no fear recalling the times he died spiritually but this time he'll kill his flesh and will be reborn again..its sad how in the midst of these demonic songs you can her the artist true cry Unworthy... | Reviewer: christian ------ About the song Lateralus performed by Tool seriously, all of you need to shut up and enjoy the music that maynard has blessed us with. you arent worthy to criticize his music, its too far beyond any of your comprehentions to even try to understand what these music gods are saying. hey!! | Reviewer: hellblazer123 ------ About the song Schism performed by Tool oy!! joshy poo!! you are fucking stupid. the entirety of the world has read into the song too much. i dont know what the song is about and i dont care. and im sure that the millions of people listening to there music dont give half a shit either. so quit trying to be all amart because you are the shitstain on the whity tities of the epic failures of the world Tool Fan | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Stinkfist performed by Tool Tim Schepers is exactly correct. This is a song about over stimulation in any sense and becoming numbed to it so that you need more and more to feel something... anything. It is very much a social commentary on our society and the unhealthy practices that we have come to incorporate in our lives to feel satisfied. tool is THE shyt! | Reviewer: marcus340 ------ About the song Swamp Song performed by Tool ..i dont think its about someone in particular,or about fitting in..it can be a lot of things,my take on this is that he's talking about someone who gets into shit,is warned,doesnt give a shit about warnings given by buddies and family and sinks deeper,so the one giving the warning ends up just watching that person sink going"i told you so.."...a situation that just happens to everybody,but put together in a real nice way..Tool is my #1 band ..and will always be,they have such an honest straight forward way of expressing real life stuff,with hallucinatingly badass instrumentals TO ALL CHRISTIANS | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Eulogy performed by Tool just thought i would add a little note to all the 'wishful thinking' god botherers. the song is clearly about the relationship maynard had with some won in his youth. it is also about the effect of 'God' or 'Jesus', which by the way ARE FICTIONAL CHARACTERS FROM A BOOK! hes saying that even though he was taught to believe all these things, he new the teacher was not honest, and how could he be when he didn't know the truth himself. The bible isn't proven, it's not even believable but the messages are good. Maynard is relating his personal experience(with maybe his father, who knows?) with the life we all live and the effects Christianity has on everyone. How do we know Jesus (if this person exists) was happy with what he was doing, if he really believed in it all? He did have a lot of nothing to say, so did maynards teacher. Jesus said in death there is life.... Prove it?? at which point do u become divine when u die, maynard sees the fault in this and even says "ranting and pointing his finger, everywhere but his heart. Did he know what he was doing was right? Are the Sep 11 Bombers martyrs? Are they 'devine' or in 'heaven'? There religion says they are. stupid you say? YOU ARE INTOLERANT! It is no worse. Is the world a better place now because of Jesus? i say NO. but in the time he was supposedly living and showing people "the truth" his messages probably would have done a lot of good. The problem was people in the church back then became powerful and started to control the world in the way that they saw fit. At which point did the church prove its story? Romans believed in gods way before the christian church was around? Maynard states in the song; "He had a voice that was strong and loud and I Swallowed his facade cuz I'm so Eager to identify with Someone above the ground, Someone who seemed to feel the same, Someone prepared to lead the way, and Someone who would die for me." this is the same then as it is now, people need something to believe in, its programmed into the human brain, if we didn't believe in something we would not get up in the morning because the risk of sudden death when opening the front door or driving to work would be to great. That mixed with the fact Christianity is drummed into us from an early age (T.V, parents, church, massive billboards) and taught at school (funnily enough run by the government) makes it extremely easy to believe and hold on to most of our lives. At least now the youth of today have more of a choice to see whats REAL. Finally jesus said he would die for us, "Would you die for me?" to save us all from our sins, Explain to me how we are saved please Christians please, please explain to me because look at the state of this world we are all saved in. ITS RUINED. war, poverty, hatred, EVEN PRIESTS RAPING CHILDREN. Monsoons, earthquakes all of which killing people who probably did nothing to directly deserve it. Is this Saved? To enter the divine heaven we must first have to die, matter cannot be created or destroyed only changed. Heaven is wishful thinking a good way of controlling people and pushing the actions of poeple in the world for a certain purpose. Funny, i dont remember seeing anything about money in the bible, why does the church of england need it so much now, dont they only teach the christian religion? Or do they want to brainwash and force us? To ascend you must die. You must be crucified For our sins and our lies. Goodbye!!! Nature of the Lateralus human | Reviewer: Epistemology ------ About the song Lateralus performed by Tool Not trying to prove a point or impose my view on others. I'm just responding to the song's ingenuity. In my opinion, MJK wrote this song about the speaker overthinking and overanalyzing random things such as life by following a prescribed, logical pattern.Although the speaker of the song eventually tries to be more spontaneous, an element of hopelesness is conveyed when the plan of supposed randomness ("to spiral out") is eerily, a plan that is still systematic and prescribed. This could be related to the theory of human's wish for order. It has been psychologically proven that normal human beings usually strive to find logical order in events or phenomenon even when no order is intended. At the same time that MJK tries to prove this treatise in the song, the lyrics he chose causes a paradox because his lyrics that eventually promote the idea of spiraling out of control to become more spontaneous are arranged in a logical mathematical pattern (fibonacci). It's interesting how the speaker of the song tries to become more random, as if he had a choice. The speaker does not have the choice because even when he tries to be free-form, the pattern is still fibonacci, the systematic pattern that is found in most natural objects although many people consider nature to be random and without purpose or direction. I believe that the lines "black and white is all I see, in my infancy/ red and yellow came to be/" is a refercence to the Aboriginal creation archetypes because the birth of the human race is compared, in most cultures, to the birth of human infants. And infants, as most people know, have limited vision and perception of color, with more colors and magnification becoming more available with growth ("let's me see there is so much more/". Motivation is my anti-drug | Reviewer: Epistemology ------ About the song Sober performed by Tool The song is about how addiction (whether it be phsyical or psychological dependence) has a hold on some people that can be almost personifiable. Not necessarily pro-drug or anti-drug, just that drugs and alcohol (or in this case, general desire) can have a hold on people any thoughts to this, anyone? | Reviewer: mike ------ About the song Lateralus performed by Tool over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind. Withering my intuition leaving opportunities behind. This is the only part for me that, I can't quite understand its meaning to Tool's full extent. It seems out of line, but i don't know. As of now, I'm guessing what they're trying to say is that, one can't quite witness what could be beautiful and thought provoking when, he/she is misguided from "overthinking" what is the truth, or like, a universally accepted idea? i'm not too sure, just wondering if anyone else would like to give an input about that. We all know what this song is about. | Reviewer: Angel Githara ------ About the song Third Eye performed by Tool Even if we have never heard this song before. Life is but a dream. The lyrics are abstract because they're somewhat disconnected from conceptual thought, i.e objectivity. Anyone ever heard about an artist named Alex Grey? Chapel of Sacred Mirrors? I found out about him through listening to Tool, thank god. Other then that, I will not add anything else and agree totally with what Veronica says in her review. heroin | Reviewer: heroin ------ About the song H. performed by Tool look the song is about heroin. turning my piss into wine=turning his life into something great. most time a snake bite is related to heroin because of the venom many people have used the expression "i got bit by a venomous snake and sliped into euphoria" the blood before me begs me to open my heart again heroin when shot up goes right to the the heart and they refer it to opening your heart heroin tempts you drains you and drags your life down. feel this coming over like a storm again. maynard talks about what most people call a rush after shooting up you get this rush feeling. a non ee mous | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Pot performed by Tool You're right David of the double entendre. This has at least 2 meanings more than likely it has more because Tool loves to fuck with you and make you decide the meaning for your self and there are MANY of them like so many other Tool songs....Stop arguing you're as bad...Worse than children, just listen to the music and enjoy your self. So what if nobody else agrees it's your opinion not ours, keep it. Location of area 51 | Reviewer: code red ------ About the song Rosetta Stoned performed by Tool i got a few things to say... 1. Area 51 is known to be near Roswell NM. and last time i went through, i saw a alian musiem next to a drug shop. clonclusion, Tool saw this too and said "wtf?" 2.this is split track. Lost Keys and Rosetta Stoned are ment to be one full track like parabol and parabola. the reason for this might be to justify priceing of an album. also, this was ment to be a story about a man geting a coma by useing DMT. 3.DMT + High durggies seeing aliens = reason tool made this song and lost keys. i rest my case. Either way... | Reviewer: Scott ------ About the song The Pot performed by Tool You know no one needs to get to up in arms about interperations of these songs IE right or wrong as only the artist who wrote it truly knows However...... we can be certain no one is dissecting New Kids on the Block lyrics or Jessica Simpson, know what I mean? This is a good thing as this music means something and very little music made does, irregardless of the time in which it was produced, many try but if your "trying" it's probably not truly an origonal tought or one that could have multiple meanings, I'm sure it's not by accident most of Maynards songs are this way. By the way references to Kangaroo court, Stones as in bible, and Testicles, black kettle may be reference to many things like salem witch trials or reference to the indian marytr or the Pot calling the kettle black; the very definition of a hypocrite. either way the opinions are a good read Greek Mythology? | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song The Patient performed by Tool I have an alternate theory. I read a greek legend one time, I can't remember the names of any of the characters, unfortunately, but the general story was this: A man's wife dies, so the man travels all the way to the domain of the god of death to reason with him and talk him into letting him have his wife back. The god agrees, under the condition that the man has to travel all the way back home without turning to check that his wife is following him. He dilligently travels almost all the way there, until he loses trust and turns to look at his wife, and she disappears. Or something like that. The Patient could be about his journey. Maybe.
