The Outsider is the amazing 7th track off 13th step

The Package however is the equally amazing first track off 13th step

An old News bulletin on the APC website, but not as old as wot started this thread:

2006-09-18 The Sleeper Must Awaken

Peace. sorry it's been awhile since we've posted. Been busy. Billy is hard at work on his solo project and i'm on the road with TOOL, working on the www.puscifer.com website, and making wine in between all that. No telling when Billy will be finished with his new material, but what i've heard is very promising. i forgot to post lyrics for 13th step and eMOTIVe so i'm get on that soon. Check back often. peace. out. mjk

some of the tracks on the puscifier jukebox are pretty cool, hadn't heard some of them before. still love the AIC tracks.

oh yeah, i forgot about that, go to the ball i shall, regardless of whether my services are needed....

Winner!

Whats the bass-plan batman?

(just in the offchance i need to book the night off, i shall get in there before that moon-faced monsrosity )

i just can't believe that big brother has eaten itself. Putting that goody twat back in, who qualifies for celebrity status only because she was in the show before. Guess the money and attention must of dried up from the last time round.

And her mum... what a knob. I just saw it for the first time since it started and her standoff with Shilpa made me want to throw my telly out the window in the hope it might damage her in some way.

God I hate big brother... especially as i only get reception on channel 4 and end up watching people sleep for most the night... gah.

yeah, that was bloody good fun, except for being completely not ready for kill.. and having to duck and dodge to try and see what craigy was doing (bad move i know )

Wolfskin and Momentum were great fun tho, that video camera i saw on the backline wasnt rolling was it?!

Binky cameo for Wall Of Skin?

bugger that, its the only one im confident with....

i just admitted to that didnt i...

shit.

ok, taken down that post until someone tells me whats going on....

i should be off 3rd, booked it off anyway.

the whole idea i heard is a big no sale i'm afraid as im sure you gathered from my original post.

just incase anyone's arsed, Atom arent playing this gig and havent been for weeks, just found the thread or i'd of said sooner.

That AND i can't get off work for the Deadloss Bass Idol, fucking blow!

working til 2 big man, but i'm sure i'll be able to fit in a jar or twa after work with yourselves.

see you there homeboy x

it struggles with Rimmer from Red Dwarf as well, it gets the Red Dwarf reference but immediately accuses you of being Lister or Captain Hollister.

it got cat fairly easily for me, which i was impressed about, i guess it was the alien creature/dressing well questions next to each other that just clicked it immediately.

Now that had me in hysterics, god bless, finally a film that i can actually look forward to with no reservations.

Just saw Saw 3, nae impressed, perhaps i was hoping too much from the end but i thought the previous 2 pride themselves on awesome twists and gore. While they turned the gore up to 11, the only decent twist in the film was that of the guy on the rack's arms and legs. Shame, coz after Identity, i thought the ones in the first 2 films were utterly superb.

It wasn't all bad, i just expected a lot more from it.

found the gig at the academy far better due to the two big screens rather than the 4 smaller ones that just didnt quite create the same atmosphere.

I'm pretty sure they only take one set of screens with them on tour, the academy is way smaller than the secc, perspective n all that.

Still no performance of awesome tracks "the grudge" and "parabola"

Fucking right, the grudge would of been absolutely fucking awesome.

Also, some one was talking about the images on the screens, my favourite was by far in Lateralus with the DNA strains made out of little men with thier heads between anothers legs, all nuggying the one below. Perfect for the song, and just pretty much says it all about Tool.

Stinkfist

swamp song

lost keys (blame hoffman)

jambi

schism (jam version)

the pot

wings for marie pt 1

10 000 days (wings pt 2)

Lateralus

Vicarious

nema

You missed Rosetta Stoned, they played it between schism and the pot i think. I remember thinking how only tool could get away with playing 3 10+ minute tracks almost back to back.

Aye, FUCKING ace tho, as usual with SECC gigs i have the major gripes with the bonehead assholes that ruined the second half of the show for me by elbowing their way in front of us and starting beating crap out of each other, wish they'd just save the 28 and just stand outside and have a streetfight next time, then letting the rest of us enjoy the show but meh, what can you do.

I loved how they introduced elements of the stage show bit by bit throught the show, like the first screen didnt go on til the second track, then the rest of the screens then the massive lights on the roof then the lasers, culminating at the very end of nema with the double bass bit when the whole stage turned into a epileptic's nightmare.

They were fucking tight aswell, there are some little bits they do live which just make the songs for me, i don't know if anoyone else noticed but in lateralus, they put this 'breath' or pause in just before the massive heavy breakdown, and the breakdown itself was so fucking heavy and grooving, i remember that made my hairs stick on end at the last gig, and this one.

Also Kudos to Maynard for a)being in a far better mood than he was at the Academy in June and having better banter and b)being the only man alive who could pull of an orange dayglow anorak. If only he hadn't bottled the last soaring chorus in Vicarious, its my favourite part of that whole song, i'd probably of messed myself there and then.

*praying this is not news to any members of Black Atom*

haha, for once dude, i think we're all over it.

Right, i'm stumped.

After all your suggestions (which i am so greatful for) i figured, that a hard drive wipe was probably inevitable, so instead of trying to avoid it i just started scavanging as much of my important stuff off as possible and getting ready to wipe.

Then just a moment ago the missus' PC went down with exactly the same syptoms this one had. i dont really understand how that works, they're not connected by anything other than we both get net access from the same router. Anyway after a couple of failed re-boots, in a panic she unplugged her usb flash drive and restarted and everything was fine.

So, inspired i tried the same, unplugged all usb's (yeah, like i said i would try about a week ago) and the fucker works fine?! plugged the modem in and its like nothing ever happened.

I think im still going to go ahead with a format at some point soon, as i've taken most my precious belongings off it anyway, but any ideas as to what may of caused this? its not the first time and im kinda concerned it might happen again with slightly worse concequences.

Cheers again

Rass

hmm, maybe I'm just harking back to the days of Loz then, but I'm nae impressed with the food at all.

In that case you'll be glad to know Loz started back with us last week

3IOB AND Biomechanical?! fucking ayyy! METAAAAAAL!

roll on 2006.. eh..7

boot up to a black screen take a note of the time reboot into safe mode, go to start>control panel>administrative tools>event viewer - look in the system and applications sections around the time of the bootup and post a screenshot if you can

also have you plugged anything new into it like usb devices?

i got a screen from both, the time of the last freeze was about 20:35, it didnt note anything, tho there was a heap of errors from when i opened the thing in safe mode, in applications, there was nothing since yesterday when it last worked, but i dunno if it might be relevant, here are both the screens anyway if you can make any sense of any of it.

Cheers again man.

cheers to everyone for the help, i'm hoping that if it's a faulty drive it's the one windows is installed on, not the one i have all my stuff saved in or i may break things.

Null-i'll away and attempt to take a screenshot like you suggested, tho im not sure how to get it onto this pc as if i remember correctly all devices are disabled in safe mode and this thing doesnt have a floppy drive, i'll see what i can do, cheers tho man. Also nothing has been plugged in recently that would cause it to screw up. May try unplugging everything and starting up and start from scratch.

Yeah well that pretty much nailed it on the head, my PC's being a massive ass and im in need of someone vaugely tech minded to assist.

Long story short it wont start, i turn it on it gets to the Windows XP loading screen then when it would normally come up with the log-in page it just comes up with a blank black screen. So i've left it to clunk around for a while on the black screen, as it sounds like it is still running healthily, but to no avail, it seems quite happy to just sit and stare blankly at me.

So i've tried restarting and turning it off and on using the 'cold hard cut' buttons on the front of the unit but then it comes up with a dos-style page saying windows didnt load properly (duh) with a list of options. A few variations on safe mode, a revert to last working conigurations options and start running windows as normal.

the revert and and start as normal options just take me to the same black screen with no change, safe mode does exactly as it says on the tin and launches it into safe mode but as i have absolutlely no clue as to whats causing the bother i dont really know what to do.

This did happen before once, once again i came to my wits end, left it over night then tried again and it worked as if nothing had happened. Alas this time i did the same and its still being an arse.

I know my symptoms are incredibly vauge but any form of assistance will be greatly greatly appreciated!

Cheers, Rass.

MASK

thank christ someone mentioned mask! was starting to think i was alone there...
