Invincible is wicked.
Sounds more like A Perfect Circle though. Which ain't a bad thing. |

You should enjoy it. Tool shows aren’t the mind**** they were in the 90s, but it will still be a good show. I told myself I wasn’t spending any more money on them until they dropped a new album, so I’ll catch the next tour. I’ve seen the greatest hits tour too many times with them. For someone who hasn’t been before, it will be perfect.

While the fever pitch may not be quite as high this time around, I feel it’s still there. I mean, the reddit sub can barely contain itself. I think expecting greatness from a group of 50 somethings is going to prove foolish though. That being said, I really like Invincible. Lyrically it seems to reference that exact theme; the once great warrior struggling to find relevance as he grows older. |

Disagree. While I love all of their albums 10,000 Days was every bit as good as the rest in my opinion. Lateralus is still my favorite song but Right In Two is close and the whole vibe of that album with Maynard still grieving over the loss of his mother left me every bit as satisfied as I was with the previous Tool and APC albums. I know I'm in the minority but Eat The Elephant is right up there for me as well. Maynard is by far my favorite musician of all time though, the only person that even comes close for me is Trent Reznor. |

Maynard is said to be an asshole but any guy that names his grape field Merkin Vineyards is ok with me.

I don’t really know that I consider Maynard to be a musician though. Singer? Yeah. Songwriter? Yeah. Is he a musician though? Sure he’s been known to hop on a second guitar on stage, but I’ve never really been certain anything was even coming from it. Last edited by Third Eye; 05-10-2019 at 11:30 PM.. |

IMO: Maynard has made a living on writing, performing, producing and mixing music. He is considered to be one of the best of all time at his instrument (voice+effects/tone). How is he not a musician? I mean, you could say he's not a drummer... or not a guitarist... but I think he fits the criteria of Musician. |

It’s in no way meant to be disparaging, as I know you’re a singer as well. I’m not implying that the voice is somehow less than an instrument. Hell, in many ways it’s the opposite. I’ve just always considered a musician to be someone who PLAYS music.

I know that when he lends his voice to other people's work it always elevates the song. He's irreplaceable as a vocalist.
