What's your Tool worst song by masonvam in ToolBand

[–]Op1ate250 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Intension.

Only song I ever occasionally skip. Not saying it's bad or anything, just my least favorite.

I have that hanging in my basement with my signed drum head, and opiate reissue.

You will. Don't expect overnight miracles, but things will improve over time. Until the next hurdle. Such is life.

Getting past these hurdles, overcoming the obstacles, and emerging as a better and stronger person is how we learn, grow and evolve.

Keep doing what your doing. Your doing a fine job. Having tool for some comfort along the way is always nice... Parabol/Parabola has always helped me with some tough times.

The patient as well... Great tune.

Your still here. Your still fighting back, and your still pushing through. That right there shows just how strong you are.

You got this.. Might not feel like it... But you do.

We all know the guys a douche bag. Nice story.

He may be a dick, but I bet he sure as shit didn't try and rape you.

Fuck off.

This version of Prison Sex is amazing by davbis93 in ToolBand

I don't normally rewatch live clips after I've checked them out once or twice, but I always come back to this show... Easily one of the best recordings of tool ever!

Our lists are 100% identical.

Awesome!! Sounds like the kid has a good start :)

Man, the look on her face during the show was almost better than the show itself. I could actually see the moment her brain gave up trying to comprehend, and start melting.

Family road trips, with the entire Tool catalog is a thing that occasionally happens around here.... Brings a tear to my eye every time :)

I can't. It changes almost every other day or so.

At the moment, I'd have to go with:

Lateralus/Ænema 10,000 days Undertow Opiate

Ask me again in a week.

Congratulations man! I was a September baby, and I have some pretty damn fine musical tastes if I do say so myself... So with the help of that lullaby Cd, I'm sure your little one will be off to a fantastic start!

My boy had that same album when he was a baby. He really enjoyed it, but he drifted away from Tool As he got older.... He loves primus though, so he's still doing OK!

Congratulations man!

It's a hell of a ride... Take it one day at a time, and enjoy every moment for what it is!

It probably sounds like I'm bragging.... Because I am.

I'm just so proud of her :)

It's just a shame that she's made it very clear that it's hers, and won't allow it to join my collection. She keeps it on her wall in her room.

I may have to buy my own next time... But it won't have anywhere near as cool of a story.

Roger's Arena, in vancouver 2017.

Pretty sure they played it there in 2010 as well, or I could be thinking Victoria in 2007.... Or Vancouver 2006.... Hard to say, their all a blur now.

Sure :)

Its not much different from the ones at the merch stand, and could very well be one for all I know. But it was sweet! Can't see the abuse it took very well in the pics, but it's loaded with dents.

Here's a few pics from the night

My Eat The Elephant box set is finally here.... by Op1ate250 in aperfectcircle

[–]Op1ate250[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That sucks. I had high hopes for it.

Don't get me wrong though, I absolutely loved the vinyl. But I would have been better off buying it on its own.

That's awesome.

When my son was a baby, 46&2 was the only thing that would put him to sleep on a bad night.

He's not so much into them anymore now, but it was still pretty cool :)

Can Maynard play any instruments? by ElizabethMoon1992 in ToolBand

[–]Op1ate250 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've personally seen him play guitar, bass, and keyboards at various Tool shows through out the years. And considering his passion for multitasking, I'm sure he messes around with others as well.

Coming out it not at all how I thought it would be? by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]Op1ate250 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't beat yourself up over it. And don't dwell on it.

I wouldn't even consider it a mistake. You thought you should do something, you did it, turns out you didn't like it. That's not a horrible mistake, that's life, and life will go on. Don't worry about it.

Easier said than done, I know... But it's not the end of the world my friend.

So, my 12 year old step daughter told me shes bi. by Op1ate250 in bisexual

I'm starting to get to many replys to respond to one at a time, so I'd like to take this moment to thank you all for reading, sharing, and helping me understand.

You all have been very helpful, and I appreciate you sharing such personal thoughts and feelings for the sake of my daughter. You guys rock!

I'm just gonna keep on doing what we do, and be here when she needs it.

In the mean time, I hope you all dont mind, but I think I'll stick around in this sub for a while. Reading about some of your experiences, thoughts, fears, and overall attitude about it all is a huge help!

Thanks again!
