    Tool Concert: August 25th 2006, Edmonton

    Wow, no tengo palabras para explicar lo que fue el concierto de ayer, mis oidos aun no se recuperan de la experiencia, pero si me quedo sordo habra valido la pena. Solo puedo decir que las canciones de Tool suenan mucho mejor en vivo que en el CD, algo de lo que deberian aprender muchas bandas. Tambien debo decir que habia subestimado el valor y la calidad de Danny Carey (baterista) y Justin Chancellor (bajista), son de lo mejor que hay en sus respectivos instrumentos y estan musicalmente a la par de Adam y Maynard.
     
    Lo que tocaron(La calidad de estos videos no les hace justicia pero se dan una idea):
     
     
    Las que faltaron:
     
    10,000 Days
    Right in Two

    Children of the Grave

     

    Mmmm...estando por aca me acorde que me estaba aprendiendo unos riffs de esta cancion de los pioneros del metal, cancion de los 70's en la onda hippie, pero con letra y musica muy chidas.

     Les debo mas cosas de Edmonton para despues, saludos.

    Children of the Grave
    Black Sabbath

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-x6on4lW0-E

    Revolution in their minds - the children start to march
    Against the world in which they have to live
    and all the hate that's in their hearts
    They're tired of being pushed around
    and told just what to do
    They'll fight the world until they've won
    and love comes flowing through

    Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today
    Will the sun rise up tomorrow bringing peace in any way?
    Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear?
    Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear?

    So you children of the world,
    listen to what I say
    If you want a better place to live in
    spread the words today
    Show the world that love is still alive
    you must be brave
    Or you children of today are
    Children of the Grave, Yeah!

    Sympathy for the Devil

    This is one of the best and most famous songs about the devil... played and composed by The Rolling Stones.

     Warning: if you play this video 666 times something evil/demonic/sexy will happen to you exactly 666 days after.

    Lyrics:

    Please allow me to introduce myself
    I'm a man of wealth and taste
    I've been around for a long long year stolen many a man's soul and faith
    I was around when Jesus Christ had his moment of doubt and pain
    Made damn sure that Pilate washed his hands and sealed his fate
    Please to meet you hope you guess my name
    But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game

    Stuck around St. Petersburg when I saw it was a time for a change
    Killed the Tzar and his ministers; Anastacia screamed in vain
    I rode a tank held a generals rank when the blitzkrieg
    raged and the bodies stank
    Please to meet you hope your guess my name, oh yeah
    Ah what's puzzling you is the nature of my game, oh yeah

    I watched the glee while your kings and queens fought for
    ten decades for the Gods they made
    I shouted out "who killed the Kennedy's?" when after all it was you and me
    Let me please introduce myself I'm a man of wealth and taste
    And I lay traps for troubadors who get killed before they reach Bombay

    Please to meet you hope you guess my name, oh yeah
    But what's puzzling you is the nature of my game, oh yeah

    Please to meet you hope you guess my name
    But what's confusin you is just the nature of my game

    Just as every cop is a criminal
    And all the sinners saints
    As heads is tails
    Just call me Lucifer
    'Cause I'm in need of some restraint

    So if you meet me Have some courtesy
    Have some sympathy, and some taste
    Use all your well-learned politesse
    Or I'll lay your soul to waste, um yeah

    Pleased to meet you
    Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
    But what's puzzling you
    Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down

    Woo, who
    Oh yeah, get on down
    Oh yeah
    Oh yeah!

    Tell me baby, what's my name
    Tell me honey, can ya guess my name
    Tell me baby, what's my name
    I tell you one time, you're to blame

    oh, who
    woo, woo
    Woo, who
    Woo, woo
    Woo, who, who
    Woo, who, who
    Oh, yeah

    What's my name
    Tell me, baby, what's my name
    Tell me, sweetie, what's my name

    Woo, who, who
    Woo, who, who
    Woo, who, who
    Woo, who, who
    Woo, who, who
    Woo, who, who
    Oh, yeah
    Woo woo
    Woo woo

    10,000 Days

    Tool has a new album!!! it has been 5 years since the last album was released (Lateralus) and like always the fans expect totally new sounds and experimentation with the classical Tool signature. The album it's called 10,000 Days because that's  the time that Maynard's mom (Judith Marie Keenan) lived paralyzed and in suffering, so he wrote a  new song about her (previous song being 'Judith' by A Perfect Circle) but the song was too long so they decided to split it in two: "Wings for Marie, Pt. 1"  and "10,000 Days (Wings, Pt. 2)". This prrreciousss album will be mine soon. Here's the 11 tracks of the album:
    1. "Vicarious" – 7:06
    2. "Jambi" – 7:28
    3. "Wings for Marie, Pt. 1" – 6:11
    4. "10,000 Days (Wings, Pt. 2)" – 11:13
    5. "The Pot" – 6:21
    6. "Lipan Conjuring" – 1:11
    7. "Lost Keys (Blame Hofmann)" – 3:46
    8. "Rosetta Stoned" – 11:11
    9. "Intension" – 7:21
    10. "Right in Two" – 8:55
    11. "Viginti Tres" – 5:02

        - Danny Carey (Drums)

    Moonspell

    Moonspell is one of my most beloved bands, they're going to release a new CD on April, it's called Memorial and if it's half as good as their previous cds, it's going to be great.  So... if you question yourself who the #&"# is Moonspell?... they're a band from Portugal, they play a blend of Gothic/Doom/Death Metal according to experts, but i think it's a pretty unique sound so... no need to categorize their music. These are some of their best songs in my opinion, if you want any of them just let me know(the first songs i liked from them are Opium and Full Moon Madness):
     
    The Antidote(2003):
       Crystal Gazing
       As we eternally sleep in it
       
    Darkness And Hope(2001): 
      Firewalking
      Nocturna
      Devilred
      How we became fire
      Than the serpents in my hands
     
    Sin/Pecado(1997):
        HandmadeGod
        Abysmo
        Magdalene

    The Unnamed Feeling

    I remembered this song yesterday because a friend of mine feels this way sometimes. If you are reading this, i hope that you feel better soon. While not of the best of Metallica it's still a great song.
     
     
    The Unnamed Feeling
     
    Been here before (6x)

    Been here before couldn't say I liked it
    When do I start writing all this down
    Just let me plug you into my world
    Can't you help me be uncrazy

    Name this for me, heat the cold air
    Take the chill off of my life
    And if I could I'd turn my eyes
    To look inside to see what's coming

    It comes alive (3x)
    And I die a little more
    It comes alive (3x)
    Each moment here I die a little more
    Ooh, i die i die i die a little more..

    Then the unnamed feeling
    It comes alive
    Then the unnamed feeling
    Takes me away

    (Been here before) (6x)

    I'm frantic in your soothing arms
    I cannot sleep in this down filled world
    Found safety in this loneliness
    But I cannot stand it anymore

    Cross my heart hope not to die
    Swallow evil, ride the sky
    Lose myself in a crowded room
    You fool, you fool, it'll be here soon

    It comes alive (3x)
    And I die a little more
    It comes alive (3x)
    Each moment here I die a little more
    Ooh, i die i die i die a little more..

    Then the unnamed feeling
    It comes alive
    Then the unnamed feeling
    Treats me this way
    And I wait for this train
    Toes over the line
    Then the unnamed feeling
    It takes me away, it takes me..

    Then the unnamed feeling
    It comes alive
    Then the unnamed feeling
    Takes me away
    Yeah, it takes me away

    Get the fuck out of here
    I just wanna get the fuck away from me
    I rage, I glaze, I hurt, I hate
    I hate it all, why why why me?

    I cannot sleep with a head like this
    I wanna cry, I wanna scream
    I rage, I glaze, I hurt, I hate
    I wanna hate it all away

    Then the unnamed feeling
    It comes alive
    Then the unnamed feeling
    Treats me this way
    And I wait for this train
    Toes over the line
    Then the unnamed feeling
    It takes me away, it takes me..

    Then the unnamed feeling
    It comes alive
    Then the unnamed feeling
    Takes me away
    Yeah, it takes me away

    Miedo

    Para que no digan que soy malinchista, aqui una canción viejita pero de lo mejor de Caifanes, chidas guitarras y piano.
    Miedo
    Caifanes
    El Nervio del Volcán
    Miedo  
    Es lo que debe tener el cielo  
    Será invadido  
    Por amantes, delirantes por un beso  
    Por profetas y dementes exiliados  
    Miedo  
    Es lo que debe tener la vida  
    Será enfrentada  
    Por los presos y los brujos solitarios  
    Por las ánimas de niños enjuiciados  
    Antes que muera Déjame amarte en vida Hasta que el cielo Se caiga por nosotros

    Antes que muera Déjame amarte en vida Hasta que el sol Se escape con la luna
    Muerte Abrazarás A demonios hechos carne por un sueño A los cuerpos hechos polvo sin justicia

    Antes que muera Déjame amarte en vida Hasta que el cielo Se caiga por nosotros

    Antes que muera Déjame amarte en vida Hasta que el sol Se escape con la luna

    Videito en vivo:

    An Erotic Alchemy

    Just because today is Valentine's day here's a romantic song for you all... well... not exactly romantic... hahaha... but i hope you get the idea:
     
    An Erotic Alchemy
    By: Moonspell
    Album: Woflheart
     
    Queen of all my sleepless nights
    For whose beauty I, Faun
    have played my pipes, with heart
    Queen in white silk, skin like milk
    Horns of Faun, lips of dawn
    You are now honoured you with my presence
    As I'm honoured by your sight
    I crown your perfection
    The predator in your breast, I devour

    Tempted is now my light body

    From where it burns spirals of exotic scents
    Rose, sandal, jasmine, all kinds of incense
    Aged fragrances only dreamed of once
    Dragons do dream far beyond the sense
    We make love in the dusty throne
    of a Modern Sodoma

    "Come to Me, step further into my nakedness
    Caress me in your breasts of Fire"

    "Breed my flame, have no fear or weakness
    I welcome you in my hole of desire"

    "Have me now, Prince, have me here"
    Your beg still whispers in my ear

    Daylight has broken into a strange nostalgia
    Night tired candles seem like two lovers
    Melt in a embrace of conspiracy
    Between us there is this strange chemistry
    but would you die for me?
    would you die for what I've longed to be?

    "Imperious, choleric, irascible, extreme in everything, with a
    dissolute imagination of the like which has never been seen,
    atheistic to the point of fanaticism, there you have me in a nutshell
    and kill me again or take me as I am,
    for I shall not change."
    (De Sade)

    "Breed of a nameless force, origin of our Sin
    We are as large as Gods, we are their tragedy
    We are the four arms of the solar Cross
    Lightning in incredulous faces the flames of Uthopy"

    Would you die for this?

    Paint it, Black

    A classic awesome song, one of the first dark songs ever written:
     
    Paint it, Black
    By: The Rolling Stones
    Album: Aftermath
     
    I see a red door and I want it painted black
    No colors anymore I want them to turn black
    I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
    I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

    I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
    With flowers and my love both never to come back
    I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
    Like a new born baby it just happens every day

    I look inside myself and see my heart is black
    I see my red door and it has been painted black
    Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
    It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black

    No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
    I could not foresee this thing happening to you

    If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
    My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes

    I see a red door and I want it painted black
    No colors anymore I want them to turn black
    I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
    I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

    Hmm, hmm, hmm,...

    I wanna see it painted, painted black
    Black as night, black as coal
    I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
    I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
    Yeah!

    Fade To Black

    A suicidal note that ironically has saved many lives from commiting suicide, this song has one of the greatest, coolest guitar solos of all time:
     
     
    Fade To Black
    By: Metallica
    Album: Ride The Lightning
     
     
     
    Life it seems, will fade away
    Drifting further every day
    Getting lost within myself
    Nothing matters no one else
    I have lost the will to live
    Simply nothing more to give
    There is nothing more for me
    Need the end to set me free

    Things are not what they used to be
    Missing one inside of me
    Deathly lost, this can’t be real
    Cannot stand this hell I feel
    Emptiness is filling me
    To the point of agony
    Growing darkness taking dawn
    I was me, but now he’s gone

    No one but me can save myself, but it’s too late
    Now I can’t think, think why I should even try

    Yesterday seems as though it never existed
    Death greets me warm, now I will just say good-bye

    Cool performance, bad compression and sound:

    How to Disappear Completely

    I think this song describes the way i feel most of the time, dedicated to all who love loneliness:
     
    How To Disappear Completely
    By: Radiohead
    Album: Kid A
     
    That there
    That's not me
    I go
    Where I please
    I walk through walls
    I float down the Liffey
    I'm not here
    This isn't happening
    I'm not here
    I'm not here

    In a little while
    I'll be gone
    The moment's already passed
    Yeah it's gone
    And I'm not here
    This isn't happening
    I'm not here
    I'm not here

    Strobe lights and blown speakers
    Fireworks and hurricanes
    I'm not here
    This isn't happening
    I'm not here
    I'm not here
