I miss bill Hicks a whole lot.... and so does ever respectful comedian,, and people of all faith. We are but one collective, and he will never b forgottn,,, tool pritty much intruced an army of new bill hicks fans and that was the point i think of tool.. to keep alive the memory of Mr. Bill Hicks. My fav preformer.. Umm everyone should look at the youtube video of Bill Hicks Looses it in chago.. he goes off on some drunk bitch that tells him that he sucks... its the best comeback from a heckle i have ever seen (and if i get heckeled on stage im gona do the same) Right In Two | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/21/09 Based on everyone's comments that I've read, there are dozens and dozens of interpretations of what this song could possibly mean. Christianity, Scientology, Hicks, Politics, and even more. I think the main point behind this song is how you are to interpret it, not that it is angled at a specific person, martyr, or icon. I think it's much more simple then people are making it out to be, the main fact is that he is speaking of people who believe they are higher up and what they say and believe in is right, and only right. There have been millions of icons throughout the history of the world that can fit into this category, and metaphorically through lyrics. Maynard believes that all people are equal, and there are no higher beings. So calling people stupid for their interpretation of the song would just be going directly against at what Tool aim for. Is it not just possible that he is ultimately the metaphoric god of time, and what he says is MEANT to be interpretted in different ways. There is no right and wrong to a certain extent. He wants you to think critically about how foolish people can be to worship people and believe in everything they say. The meaning of life is what you make it out to be, not what some dumbass standing above a crowd telling you what is right and what is wrong. That is my opinion, and everyone is entitled to their own. So fuck off if you have anything negative to say, tool. Songs for the Dumb | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/11/09 So what you are saying is that not agreeing with every person that preaches gospel is going against the word of jesus himself. I feel more stupid for reading your comment Atheist, and i shouldn't be wasting my time replying to it. God in the book of proverbs wouldn't want me wasting my time on a fool such as yourself-- that is if i was a believer, which i'm not. This song repetedly remarks on the "loud" nature of such martyrs, and not all martyrs are divine. Just think of all the dictators who stand at a podium and yell, playing of peoples emotions... basically preaching. I don't think any one has ever thought of jesus as loud. Look up the word demagogue, you fool. Hmmn | Reviewer: Swa | 5/8/09 Standing above the crowd, He had a voice that was strong and loud and I I am continually impressed with Tool's lyrics. This paragraph does say so much. I feel like a lot of people feel this way about Jesus, and Christianity. They all profess to know so much, and yet are so quick to judge. It is an attack on Christianity, but don't they judge us first? How quick we all are to judge, and yet never judge ourselves.... 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, with Someone who would die for me. I also love this paragraph... Come down. get off your fuckin cross. We need the fuckin space to nail the next fool martyr. The Last Supper | Reviewer: Atheist | 5/6/09 First, to the previous poster I have thought about what "ranting and pointing his finger, at everything but his heart", for much more than a second, and I don't see universal love in there anywhere. I do see preaching though. I think he is pointing out the judgmental attitude and hypocrisy of Christian preachers and Jesus in this case. I think the whole song is the eulogy that Maynard would have read to Jesus at the last summer. rant in e-minor | Reviewer: josh | 4/23/09 Wolverhampton, thanks for being open minded and actually understanding. It isn't an attack on jesus. If he was attacking jesus do you really think the lyrics would read "ranting and pointing his finger, at everything but his heart" Seriously think about THAT for a second. The message these prophets and buddhas have always spread was unconditional love and understanding. Like the song Aenema says, "Try and read between the lines". reply to previous comment | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/17/09 Suicide bombers kill people that have a different religion. U.S. soldiers are protecting innocent lives by killing extremists. It is not morally the same... but this is straying from the point of the song Uy Vey!!! | Reviewer: bleh | 4/6/09 i think this is a pretty clear attack on christianity as a whole. if your not getting this then quit being a closed minded idiot. maynard is a guy whos not afraid to talk trash. what do the words "come down, get off your f---ing cross" mean to you? this a blatant atack on christianity. Is it even possible to see it any other way. This is the most clear explaination. And hes a hypocrite. Is it not better to strive for excellence than to point YOUR OWN FINGER? "it is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The Credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whos faith is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who errs and comes short again." Teddy Roosavelt. Maynard is sitting here pointing his finger at GD, arrogantly about how he thinks GD is a finger pointer. This is pure hypocricy. Also, maybe GD is real and maybe he's not, but either way, better safe than sorry i would think. Its pretty clear that his goal in this song is too attack GD, christians, beleivers, and to offend. These lyrics are disgusting and anyone who dares justify them, I am equally disgusted with. What kind of idiot would write a song for the sole purpose of attacking and offending something that millions of people care deeply about. Evil, disgusting hypocricy. Wolverhampton lad listens to mysterious TOOL | Reviewer: Wayne Gordon | 4/2/09 Fair-do's, I haven't done much research. I am after all from England in the Black country (amongst many simple folk). But i am a Tool fan and i do prefer to come to my own conclusions, Tool would wish for us to think for ourselves anyway. 'The music is a tool, a powerful influence'. Eulogy strongly reminds me of a certain Adolf Hitler, you know, spitting and shouting pointing violently, and all for what? The man talked some shit! But can anyone remember what he said? NO because he's come and gone, like every other self-righteous leader that has ever graced the planet. In with the new and out with the old, so the system of shit can carry on churning. Sheepism. To me this song is all about the shepard. With reference to 'come down, get off your fucking cross', it's like saying "come on then you fucking prick, you've had your time, it's some other prick's turn to talk bollocks". Does anyone get my drift? Clinton.. Bush.. Obama.. etc. Do any of these people make a difference, do they only give a fuck for themselves? Think about it, people get reeled in like makeral, AND THEY ACTUALLY TAKE ON BOARD WHAT'S BEING SAID BECAUSE LIKE FOOLS THEY THINK EVERYTHING IS HUNKY DORY AND THE SUN SHINES OUT OF THEIR LEADERS ARSE AND THEY WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING BAD ETC ETC... When I say leader, this could be religious or political. Often religion has been in league with the government to keep people under the thumb. For me the song is multipurpose, and as with a lot of Tool songs there's definitely an air of sarcasm, singing through a megaphone is sarcy enough, and fits with the context of the song. I love the lyric, pointing his finger at everything but his heart. That says a lot to me. Think about it, think George W Bush! BILL HICKS. BILL HICKS. BILL HICKS. MARTYR. | Reviewer: Insight | 1/25/09 THIS SONG IS ABOUT BILL HICKS : ANOTHER DEAD HERO. LOOK AT THE ALBUM ART INSIDE OF TOOL'S AENEMA. BILL HICKS : ANOTHER DEAD HERO. THE WHOLE SONG TALKS ABOUT BILL HICK'S COMEDY ACT OVER A FIFTEEN YEAR PERIOD. HE'S NOT AFRAID TO DIE : "It's just a ride, Man." "A young man today discovered that matter is just..." Screw ALL of you. This is about MY relationship with GOD. THANK YOU, TOOL. I'M JUST THE NEXT FOOL. WILL I DIE FOR YOU? No. Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2    3    4    5    6    7
