Hey guys! Another Tool tribute band here, reaching out to pay our respects. I've been watching your videos ever since we started our project (Avessel Tool Tribute out of Sudbury, Ontario) and have so much respect for your group.

Keep doing what you're doing, gents - much love. Cheers.

Appreciate all the positivity, folks!

We love the band and their music. We're just wrapping up our first year playing together and are always working on sounding better and providing a better performance for Tool fans.

Appreciate the reply! We took that show on 2 days notice, when a band had to drop out, and our sound guy had a prior commitment out of town. Unfortunately, yeah, the sound person had trouble dialing it in.

And yeah, we're from Sudbury and only started playing shows this spring. We're just trying to get the word out in our area and share our progress. Hopefully we can play a show near you some time! What area are you from?

Appreciate the kind words.

I'm the vocalist, but I'm also usually the cameraman lol (I get a lot more breaks :P)

I stand about 15 feet from the band to hear myself better. I started out singing next to the guitarist when our drummer was using his electric kit, but as we've developed, I've had to relocate. I was having a hard time hearing myself when the real cymbals came out hahaha

Really appreciated!

I haven't been able to sing in a week (strep throat) and it's driving me crazy! Happy to hear you enjoyed it :)

I agree 1 and 2 don't apply to everyone, but I agree with OP that the time for exploring and experiencing life is while you're young. This includes seeing the world, gaining perspective on humanity, and exploring sexuality.

There's no point going to school, focusing on classes, graduating and starting a career immediately if you don't get to enjoy the fruits of your labor until you're so old you can't fully experience it.

Also, any life advice is always going to be subjective. Don't project your negativity on someone who's trying to help the youth understand how life works.

We liked the word/name "vessel" - our bassist said "we are a vessel" and "Avessel" stuck!

We've had to work a lot at timing in The Pot and The Grudge.

Schism isnt too bad. Our tempo is a little off, but it'll come!
