Tool, 10,000 Days

In the early 1990s Tool joined Iron Maiden as one of the few bands that merges metal with progressive rock and the since its first album the band has enjoyed a loyal following.

Tool’s 2006 release of “10,000 Days” features the songs “Vicarious” and “The Pot,” which helped the album garner more than 3 million in total record sales. Highlighting “10,000 Days” unique attributes, the album includes a the use a talk box, some interesting mic’ing techniques to produce some distinctive tones and a typical array of standard studio effects such as echo, reverb and other things.

Signature Test Track: “The Pot” Most music fans know how out of touch the Grammy awards are, but with the nomination of “The Pot” in 2008 at least it could be said the organization was in the ballpark for Best Hard Rock Performance with this song. For demo purposes, check out delayed echo on the beginning of Maynard James Keenan’s vocals. As the song moves into the verse it is anchored by the heavy, but funky bass line played by Justin Chancellor and guitar player Adam Jones controlled feedback volume swells, pick slides and muted riffs that fill the entire soundstage.
