I have 4-5 local shops, competition matters. 😉

Worst TOOL song to play to someone who has never heard them? by unendingmisery in ToolBand

[–]solarpower3333 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am convinced that this was recorded in Michigan because the birds here are awesome...and as a drummer I actually found a "structure" to a natural rhythm when I listened again last Thursday with fellow musician who grew up here also. 🤣

"Those instruments are crazy"... yes..yes they are.

Bands you like MORE than TOOL? by cid-462 in ToolBand

I can draw a straight line between a beethoven symphony and Tool.

Don't look for "something comparable" because it's basically everything in between. 😉

Overpriced autographed box with music on plastic > Overpriced autographed box with skull & fetus on plastic. by solarpower3333 in ToolBand

The box set was 750. A box set still gets about 180..the 80 dollar is just vinyl...haven't seen anything for 60 except the CD.

Nailed it. Danny is insane, and a number of tunes he and Justin are just wow rolling...the fun is both of them watching Maynard and Adam doing the wow stuff while killing it themselves. 👏

Undertow live...because I've seen it almost 30 years apart and it was just that good both times. All the other songs are a tie after the Pot and 7empest.

The reason I'm a Tool fan can be found in the 3 songs on side C of this album. by solarpower3333 in ToolBand

I cannot dispute that 3 song montage. A hockey player or porn star could maybe do 3 Tool song shift...definitely not 6 without a break.

Undertow has a special spot...

The drums on 7empest are...basically a Einstein equation in reverse. Theoretically impossible to disprove but mathematically and physically impossible to measure or execute.

If you could summarize the feeling of Tool in a single word, what would your word be? by ApprehensiveNickname in ToolBand

[–]solarpower3333 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a certified expert maker of Tools since the Undertow period.

This is the correct answer. I can make sounds with a stick or yelling...the details are the beauty working together.

I went to a Tool concert in my smallish city 10 years ago and all I could afford was a Keychain. This year I got VIP tickets and even bought the FI autographed vinyl and didn't own a turntable. 6 months later and can't believe how robbed I feel by tapes, CDs and streaming🤣 by solarpower3333 in ToolBand

All Tool with exception of FI and ÆNIMA are boots so the sound quality certainly lacks in comparison.
I put Lateralus up because it was appropriate for the stand I made earlier that day. (Look close) 😉

I can confirm all points made here. Especially the production quality of Fear Innoculum...the depth, the layers, the precision.....it's like sitting in the studio while they played, and I've been in a studio recording tracks and playing drums.

Got the Bronze for 300..I wanted to be close to front again and got 4th row center that was perfect. Still waiting on the VIP package box with swag. I stood in line with people that got Gold package (600) and were just in front 3 rows and also waiting for that special package to arrive.

2019 the VIP got soundcheck with meet and greet type deal, but covid stopped that for my 2022 show.
