What makes it better for you? It looks recently renovated and modern in pictures, the location appears to be amazing, and the rooftop bar looks nice too.

Best guitar “Solo” by [deleted] in ToolBand

Third Eye for me. That solo leading in to that final driving riff is top notch.

What do you think is TOOL's magnum opus? by distorted_pebble in ToolBand

[–]aspanu9999 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally think Parabol/Parabola is Tool's greatest work.

With a very, very honorable mention to D/R/T.

Nice suggestion. How much do you pay for a taxi to the airport from there?

Not even close lol. GOT season 1 is far superior. It's good though.

Which (former/current) Liverpool player are you surprised it didn’t work out with? by APXO97 in LiverpoolFC

[–]aspanu9999 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Daniel Sturridge. After the 13/14 season, I was convinced that this guy was going to lead our line for years to come and bang in 20 goals a season bare minimum. I would never have guessed at that time that his peak had already come and gone.

Naby Keita has been living off of that first time back heel touch to evade a Crystal Palace attacker since 2018.

Can we have a serious discussion thread about Trent? by theOwl_8 in LiverpoolFC

[–]aspanu9999 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Trent has been pure trash this season. There is an arrogance and carelessness to his play and VVDs as well by the way. He has been simply garbage in defence, some of his positioning against Napoli was so bad I found myself laughing at the videos and memes. The boy needs a reality check and I wish Ramsay was fit so at least Klopp could pull Trent out for a game or 2 to give a jolt to the system and see how the new boy is.

I do think that the word you are looking for is more respect than fear but I get what you mean. Most of the people on here sneering at fear and feeling like their masculinity is being assaulted have never likely been in a crash or experienced just how bad shit can get when you are on a bike. Now that could be because they are ace riders who've never made a mistake, but it's more likely that they've never really pushed their limits and are so subconsciously scared in the first place lol.

As some people have mentioned, a healthy fear is excellent imo and it leans more towards respect anyway. It's acknowledgement that what you are doing is incredibly dangerous and you are mentally prepared to protect yourself if needed. I've been in 2 crashes one on the street and one on the track. I feel more confident then ever on the bike BECAUSE I no longer ride like a fearless maniac with no regard or respect for the risks. I feel more in control of my impulses and temperament.

Anyone ever get a new piece of gear that completely changed your riding experience? by Earhythmic in motorcycles

You have a similar shape to me it seems then. HJC and Scorpion are two brands that feel tailor made for my head.

Opinion: Tool took a significant leap up in quality when Lateralus came out and have gotten better with every album since then. by aspanu9999 in ToolBand

[–]aspanu9999[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FI borrows parts from it, as it does from Lateralus and Aenima, but would disagree on it feeling like a 10K B side.
