    Funny thing… I had the original green jello album (before they got sued and had to change to green jelly).

    It was my first CD.

    Awesome weird brutal sounds. Loved it. No clue who the members were. Listened

    One day I was walking through the record store and saw these eyes. These fucking fucked up acid dream demon eyes.

    I bought the album.

    Fucking opiate.

    Fucking Maynard was on the green jello album. (The high pitched voice on 3 little pigs)

    Anyway, I still listen to tool. Not so such green jello.

      Damn, I had no idea that Maynard was on the that green jello album. That was also my first CD I ever got. Probably from Sam Goody in the mall to play on my sony discman in like 1993 or something.

        The whole back story of tool, Maynard, green jello, and Danny Carey is bonkers.

        I think it’s a Rick Beato interview with Danny Carey where he goes into it all.

        Brb.

        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ErsWJw28XU

        He starts talking about it at the very beginning of the interview.

        The whole video is gold, though. Beato does another with Maynard.

        Carey definitely comes across as more grounded and likeable.

      Heh, I had the green jello cassette. I thought it was weird when I saw them featured in Maximum Carnage as Green Jelly.

      I’ve never listened to tool, though. What’s a good start?

        Start at the beginning (Opiate), but their best work in my opinion is Aenima.
