Tool

[otnavuskire]

honestly the only reason i'd go see tool live is to see A&P

Totally agree. Plus he posted that because these are such big shows, he can bring ALL of his equipment, something he can't usually do. These will be great shows to see.

[Santos L Halper]

honestly the only reason i'd go see tool live is to see A&P again. he was amazing last time i saw him.

p.s. i've been wondering for a long time...are you Santos from OMG?

I'm not. My name is just a deep cut Simpsons reference.

Both dates for San Diego has been acquired! yay!

A 3rd date in San Diego was announced today and tickets go on sale this Friday.

Going to the Barclay's show tonight! Pumped!

Glad to see they're still dusting off older stuff like Spoiler: Swamp Song

Seriously? Damn that's a deep cut. I would love to hear Crawl Away with the Passage to Bangkok intro or Bottom.

I automatically assumed they were the same Santos from the Pearl Jam forums lol

The FOMO was strong after bailing on a last minute ticket for Newark so I grabbed one for Barclays tonight. I was fine with my decision to skip it until I started trolling Instagram.

Got GA tickets to the Brisbane show today. No GA seats in Australia. Standing only. Curious who'll be supporting here.

Ah, the way a TOOL show should be experienced....at least on the floor

[halo eighteen]

It's been a long time since Tool have been in consideration for a Grammy, but "7empest" is up for best Metal Performance, and "Fear Inoculum" for Best Rock Song. In the event either of those are televised awards, maybe Danny can get a chance to thank Satan again lol

At first I thought this was a reference to last night's show with Alex Grey sitting on the floor for Stinkfist.

Am I the only one that thought that was really weird and sorta creepy?

wait, what?

[cdm]

wait, what?

Last night before Stinkfist at the Brooklyn show they brought up the house lights and Maynard introduced Alex Grey as their special guest. Which by itself is fine and normal...they're all friends. The weird part, to me, was THANK YOU ALEX GREY projected on the screen and the cult-like vibe. It was very...I dunno...off-putting.

[ickyvicky]

Last night's show in Brooklyn was amaazzzziiinnnnggggggg. Justin's bass was so muddy and dirty, it was delicious.

The new songs definitely sound better live, I have a new appreciation for them now.

Is there a cut-off date for the reason FI (the album) isn’t nominated this year?

Aug 31 was the cut-off; it was released just a day before that. But so was Bon Iver's i,i and that's up for Album of the Year. Seems like it was shafted.

[Space Suicide]

My deluxe CD finally updated to being shipped.

maybe its because the album isn't worth the title of album of the year?

[halo eighteen]

You do have a point there, there's precedent as the only things their previous albums have ever been nominated for was "Recording Package" which 10K Days actually won.

[sonic_discord]

But the albums by Lil Nas X, Post Malone, and Ariana Grande are?

There'll always be a sway towards that landfill mainstream shit.

[theimage13]

The thing you've gotta remember is that these are about mainstream success and popularity. Album of the Year doesn't mean "which band wrote all of their own content and did the best job at it," it means "which band OR team of producers and writers cranked out the catchiest bops that the most people got hooked on". Which, in a sense, really isn't that unfair - there is absolutely a level of skill involved in creating something that tons of people can't get out of their heads. If it was as easy as people seem to claim it is, there would be new hits being released every single day. And with all due respect to the phenomenal talent that every member of Tool possesses, there wasn't a single song on this album that got stuck in my head until I had listened to it at least half a dozen times. Great music isn't always catchy, but catchy is what...ahem...catches attention.

Agreed. Or just do Opiate and Undertow in full.
