Tool-Lateralus-Parental advisory?

[plastick]

I've now seen a couple tool lateralus cds with the parental advisory sticker on them.
But there are no bad words in any songs and their subjects aren't bad either.

So, anyone know why the stickers are on them? Just curious.

I see one f-bomb on this entire page.

I guess that's enough to push a kid over the edge into a life of drugs and crime, right?

because tool is the music of satan and maynard is the antichrist

They decide to try and censor a CD that preaches good things.

The Grudge :

"Give away the stone.
Let the oceans take and transmutate this cold and fated anchor.
Give away the stone.
Let the waters kiss and transmutate these leaden grudges into gold.
Let go."

----------------------------------------------------------

The Patient :

"But I'm still right here
Giving blood, keeping faith
And I'm still right here.

Wait it out,
Gonna wait it out,
Be patient (wait it out).

If there were no rewards to reap,
No loving embrace to see me through
This tedious path I've chosen here,
I certainly would've walked away by now.
Gonna wait it out."

----------------------------------------------------------

Lateralus :

"Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind.
Withering my intuition leaving all these opportunities behind."

"I'm reaching up and reaching out,
I'm reaching for the random or what ever will bewilder me.
And following our will and wind we may just go where no one's been.
We'll ride the spiral to the end and may just go where no one's been.

Spiral out. Keep going, going..."

----------------------------------------------------------

Yep. That's just bad stuff right there.

tool likes to play themselves off as satanic for laughs, but i think a lot of people (including a lot of the fans) don't get that it's a joke. they are one of the most subversively humorous bands in rock.

as for the stickers, i have no idea why they're there.

Anyone know any facts about what the songs mean? I've heard theories, but I want to know what maynard said they mean... if anyone know anthing about this..

Dig around here. It's about as official as it gets with Tool.
