yea bad company.
saw them a few times.
one time a kid literary died right next to me.
at least the music was good.
ahh gotcha
agreed on style of dnb too. was always a fan of the harder sound (loxy, dylan, bad company) then settled into the jazzy stuff (mutt, alix perez).

that wasn't that warehouse party that was like kinda out in the middle of nowhere in austin back in like 02 was it? right before shot down on safari was released?
grim scene.
yup that one.that wasn't that warehouse party that was like kinda out in the middle of nowhere in austin back in like 02 was it? right before shot down on safari was released?
grim scene.
like towards far east austin.
right before things in the scene got really bad and collapsed on itself.
it was all over the news.
i just remember him being out and my girl at the time trying to give him water and he refused it.
i found out later he was stationed at ft.sam. sad indeed.
Every time this last tour I saw tool it was worse than the previous.
But the entire cost is worth it to hear them perform Lateralus as the closer. Such an amazing amazing song live.
Mind blowing.
I still go to their concerts in hope I will hear Third eye again, last time I heard it was in 2002.
Tool is awesome. Saw em in 97' at Lollapalooza (Atlanta, Lakewood amphitheatre) and it was one of the greatest shows I've ever seen. The music was incredible, as was the ridiculous amount of liquid I ate that day.
They played just as the sun was setting, and the combination of their music and really crazy video presentation (on ing humongous screens both above and behind the stage) was awe inspiring. Stuff off of Aenima was what they mostly played, but they also played a few songs off Opiate, which is still my favorite Album of theirs.
Would love to see them again.
Tool are amazing live, an absolutely astonishing group of performs. They toured here a few years ago - and it was easily the best concert I have ever been to.
I hope they tour Australia again soon... and record a new freaking album already!
To be honest, the thing that most makes me go meh to this thread. is that i've seen both tool and a perfect circle live. unimpressed. especially with a perfect circle, if some hot chick wants to spend the money she earned on a pole taking me to corpus and buying the ticket, then how the are you going to be in a dark corner behind a screen for the whole ing show? at least at the tool show there was rope climbing contortionists to entertain me through the dialed in ho hum music.
Wow, really? That's the only thing you get out of their music?!
Danny Carey is worth the price alone, although I hope they change that stale setlist and stage show that's been close to the same since 2001.
Its better then Radiohead
Maynard seems to be losing his voice capabilities though. Just listen to 10,000 Days.
One of the three times I saw them for that tour he had a ing cold and still did the show (I believe it got even worse after and he had to cancel the SA show that was next)
Well I wish they had postponed the Dallas show. He sounded like total jackass. And he kept complaining the whole set how he had to take a piss.
During Aenema instead of saying "learn to swim...." he kept sayin "gotta piss...."
kinda funny but he still sounded like ass
Never heard of them . . .
I've seen Tool probably 10 times over the years, and used to be one of my favorite bands. But I think after Aenima they did start to become very repe ive and their songs sound almost formuleaic. If you've heard one Tool song these days, you can almost predict the way rest of the songs off the album will sound. Sure the chords are different, but the formula is the same.
With that said I think their earlier work, particular Aenima, stands up as an all-time great album.
I think the Mars Volta is what Tool was on their way to and should have become.
this tbh. I can say that about a lot of bands though it seems.
that and undertow are my fav ing songs.
I like APC a lot more though. Anyone who thinks tool isn't a great band has been corrupted by mainstream music way too much.
I have seen Tool 3 times in my life, the last show at the At&t center was the worst by far. IMO Maynard doesnt give a anymore, I dont even understand why they are still touring, not like they need the money. He should just go sit in his vineyard and play with his grapes all day. $100 bucks and we got 9 ing songs, and most of them were off that crap 10000 days album. Even hearing Aenima live one last time couldnt make up for that ty show.
