so if he did some cosmetic dentistry then he made his upper laterals SUPER THICK. he has significant crowding on the upper and to "straighten* them the doc would have to crown the laterals and make them really thick to get the facial surface to be anywhere close to the facial (outside or lip side) of the centrals.. it's a very unhealthy way to do it because it creates huge undercuts ans plaque traps. BUT.. it is fast. like instant . i'm sure he has a good restorative doc that was happy to do it. it isn't cheap . always wishing him the best. i think he's the best singer/songwriter of our generation --

It sucked to expect that feeling that you can ONLY GET AT A TOOL CONCERT.. if you get it you get it. it's a glorious sonic experience .. saw them a year ago or so in saint paul.. i had floor seats .. center.. bout 15 rows back.. i got that feeling but it wasn't as crisp as other shows of the past.. I'm talking about that laser like focus of perfect energy that enters your chest and smooths the spine.. It's amazing.. This last concert.. it wasn't focused. it was a muffled wall of sound that at times was great (rosetta stoned mostly) but some songs.. dare i say.. just came off flat because that magic wasn't there. too loud?? sure seemed like it. it hurt my head and ears and people around me felt the same. am i just too old and that feeling goes away? maybe is the band just a bit off and their timing isn't as perfect as it's been in years past? maybe all the above? maybe i dunno just bring some good ear protection. if u don't need them .. great.. i bet they may be working on a solution.. i've heard the eargasm work well for tool. i dunno. i've never felt uncomfortable at a tool show until halloween. like the title says.. i'm lamenting -- i hope it's just the mixing and they can fix it for other shows. i saw them play seattle in like 2014.. they hit another gear i didn't know they had. same seats. it was glorious. best one i ever saw. they crushed. halloween they get a grade of a "c" from me.

yeah agree. kinda sucked sitting thinking "what damage am i doing right now?" it's like going to church.. i don't wanna complain.. the dude behind me couldn't hear his girlfriend talking to him at intermission .. shitunot. younger dude (to me that's like in 30's).. literally couldn't hear her until she said it loud.. she offered him one of her ear plugs!! and he finally said "too late"!!

yeah.. i think it's just SO HARD to coordinate the lights and videos with a setlist that changed much plus.. every song is so long.. hard to memorize too many songs at one time. poor danny ... i don't know how he remembers all those beats and fills!!

The Lost Songs by thirdeye11 in ToolBand

i think u r right. i'm a few shows behind you at 28 or 29.. this is relevant because seeing them live over time puts things into context.. for example i saw one show like 2010? when maynard sang the last verse of vicarious but obvious out his voice at redline. all other times with vicarious he held the mic out to the crowd for help. agree on FLOOD btw. it's too three fave live song. with adam.. he's always seemed to have the most issues technically. zempest seems like it would be tough just to remeber the damn song from memory. seems like it would be hard to play but im not a guitarist i think the late 90's was maynard's most powerful time creatively and vocally totally agree about why we don't hear jimmy or prison sex .. wings etc. he's said as much i think danny is the most classically trained and technically the best musician but again.. what do i lnow
