[edit] Video?

I wonder if that Justin Chancellor quote was in relation to The Pot video that was reported filmed in December, rather than being about Jambi hellboy 06:20, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] There is radioplay in January

I live in Metero Detroit and just today I heard it on the radio. I forgot which station, but it wast probably 88.7.

[edit] Lyrics

Most sites have the last lyrics to this song listed as "Silent leach save your poison Silent leach stay out of my way" or "Silent legions save your poison Silent legions stay out of my way." I was thinking it was "Silent Nietzsche save your poison Silent Nietzsche stay out of my way," I could be wrong, but I thought someone might want to check it.

Or "Silently, just..." Nietzsche may be an interesting reference (didn't he live up a mountain?), but I don't hear it. Official lyrics have not been released, so until then it is all speculation. Pomte 19:34, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alternative lyrics

There is a great video on youtube of maynard introducing the song by asking the audience if any of them fancies a pizza, he then goes on to say "i could do with a waffle right now" (or words to that effect.) Then Jambi starts, and mjk replaces the lyric "treasures and flesh never few" with "waffles and flesh never few" lol, it kicks ass, unfortunately i cant post a link right now as im at work and dont have access to youtube, but if you search through the jambi live vids its on there - its at festival.

[edit] Divine Intervention?

I don't think the lyrics make it clear that any of it was inspired by divine intervention. I don't think it's appropriate to contribute one's personal interpretation unless the lyrics make the content unmistakably clear. Ignitus 11:06, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] So is the single out yet?

So is the single out yet or no? I heard the song on my way back from Austin, but I don't know if it was actually the single, or just an album track. After all, this song also got a lot of radio airplay back in Summer '06, before the song was even announced as a single. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.238.218.27 (talk) 03:47, 6 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Which supporting tour?

On 09/09/2006, In Phoenix, AZ, Tool did not play "Jambi". If this was the supporting tour the original poster had in mind, then the information is incorrect. I was at the show, and the following link is from a Tool fan site with several copies of the set list.

You're right, my mistake. I have changed it to say "almost", though feel free to delete that sentence altogether. –Pomte 20:47, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Song Name

The name of the song isn't solely related to the Indonesian province. It's also related to the name of the main metrical pattern he uses: iamb. Which is actually my favourite one. As many may know, J is pronounced as Y in many languages (If I'm not wrong it's the original sound, hence /j/ as a phonetic symbol in IPA), And Y is I in most languages where the J lost its place. Jambi, to my opinion, is just a random similar existing word they chose to highlight the fact that Maynard uses such metre. SuperFacO 20:31, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
