Tool and Carl Jung Philosophy

Tool? I don't think so Tim. The only thing Jung about Tool is that people who listen to it have got to be sooo boozed that they get collectively unconcious.....
(p/t)

Gareth_d - no names of books off the top of my head but shitloads of results if you google. Eg... http://www.ship.edu/~cgboeree/jung.html. Good on ya for thinking about some of this stuff. The people who laugh are intimidated by things they can't understand

Fair enough....It wouldnt surprise me in the least that TOOL had other stuff going on in their songs, Just goes to show they are the bestest band on the planet being able to entertain Inteleck...Intalekchew.... Brainy Cunts and Dumbarses like myself

Long live MJK and the boys

By the way they won one of these too.................(Its a Grammy award)

Colonel: Marine, what is that button on your body armor?
Private Joker: A peace symbol, sir.
Colonel: Where'd you get it?
Private Joker: I don't remember, sir.
Colonel: What is that you've got written on your helmet?
Private Joker: "Born to Kill", sir.
Colonel: You write "Born to Kill" on your helmet and you wear a peace button. What's that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?
Private Joker: No, sir.
Colonel: You'd better get your head and your ass wired together, or I will take a giant shit on you.
Private Joker: Yes, sir.
Colonel: Now answer my question or you'll be standing tall before the man.
Private Joker: I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir.
Colonel: The what?
Private Joker: The duality of man. The Jungian thing, sir.
Colonel: Whose side are you on, son?
Private Joker: Our side, sir.
Colonel: Don't you love your country?
Private Joker: Yes, sir.
Colonel: Then how about getting with the program? Why don't you jump on the team and come on in for the big win?
Private Joker: Yes, sir.
Colonel: Son, all I've ever asked of my marines is that they obey my orders as they would the word of God. We are here to help the Vietnamese, because inside every gook there is an American trying to get out. It's a hardball world, son. We've gotta keep our heads until this peace craze blows over.
Private Joker: Aye-aye, sir.

Danny Carey is a frickin legend drummer. Check out some of the comments on his philosophies and beliefs in this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Carey

Interesting......

P.S. - I often fall asleep to music through a good pair of headphones - falling asleep to Tool songs leads to weird dreams!
