Adam Jones does most of the videos, right. I was just wondering, if anyone knows a site i could find that kindof links the weird things with the music or like with the lyrics. Or if any of them are just dreams they have had so they put it on a music video...The Parabol/Parabola video has to be the coolest thing ever.. But i cant figure out what it has to do with anything...Well if anyone has any information about their videos, please tell me, some of them are so confusing
Thanks
Ddude

An excerpt from Adam's bio may explain somewhat how he gets ideas for the videos:
"It has only been through the last nine years, however, that Adam has begun to explore the full potentials of projecting his thoughts and emotions through Tool's songs, videos, and album artwork. Sometimes in this environment, Adam is able to achieve a state of synesthesia where playing guitar invokes visions and images to appear before him and making videos, sketching, or sculpting creates auditory hallucinations of riffs and music. Currently Adam is sculpting a piece for the re-release of the Peach album Giving Birth to a Stone, writing music each day for the next Tool album with Danny and Justin, sketching the images he obtains in these practices, and dealing with the business side of the music industry. One way to perceive the experiences that have led to Adam's state in Tool is as the exploration of contrasting modalities of perception. As the hemispheres of the brain struggle for dominance there is a constant shifting of polarity between the right and left lobes that exists as music vs. number, image vs. word, being vs. doing, and holistic integration vs. linear abstraction."

Well, maybe Adam is the master of the Tool videos, but that doesn't mean you can't use your dreams and your mind and do your own creating.
