I worked with a guy that loved Chevelle but hated Tool. I didn't get that at all. Very similar with Tool being more long form experimental (in a way like the Floyd.) I really like theme albums, long experimental shit, and the whole art associated with the music.

I think of Tool as "precision anger." Or surgical anger. It's not raw guitar and vocals - it's focused and prolonged. Great for cutting the lawn or lifting weights.

Mine was older than that. Green Kryptonics wheels, Gull Wing trucks, German bearings. I want to say it was an Alva board but that probably couldn’t be right since he was still riding.

The first titty bar I ever went to had a dancer with a killer body and a face like a Waffle House waitress. She danced to Stinkfist.

This is still my favorite Tool song:

I might be preaching to the proverbial choir here, but there are a few bands I love who do the theme album justice - The Books and Native Construct. They kick ass.

Carey hits more than drums in KC!

Nice!

For 60 years old hes a pretty ****in stout dude.

Saw a Donger thread entitled "Tool" and couldn't resist the urge to say "yes, yes he is".

ROFL

In all seriousness, I can't stand Tool. :D

The title of this thread could be "The Greatest Band of all Time" and it would mean the exact same thing.

Love this:

9 days until the KC show!

Really well done. The creativity on display with these guys is incredible.

Missed out on tickets, I have to settle on the St Louis show a week from this Fri instead.

Really hope they cut Culling Voices out and add 7empest back before then. Love CV but I can't die without seeing 7empest live.

7empest would be great, but they’ll have to cut a couple songs to make it fit. Guess if they cut CV and CC Trip, I’d be good with that. Drum solos are boring as hell. Even DC drum solos. Ideally they’d drop The Pot as well. The Pot and CV are probably their only 2 non-segue songs that I just don’t care for.

Some great seats available from sellers that can't go. I wasn't planning on going, but if I can get a great seat that'll change.

Friend of mine streamed a lot of this show on FB. Looks like it was great.

Radiohead is far superior though.
