Adam totally fucked up at 4:39. He's probably just trying to make Maynard feel better because he's butchering the vocals. At least he didn't launch his microphone across the stage this time.
@toolfanatic98 This one. He doesn't quite hit those highs and doesn't accentuate certain parts like I've heard him do in the past and on the album especially. You can't really sing as hard as he does for 20+ years and expect to nail it every night. I actually just got home from the Charlotte show (2-4) tonight and he did absolutely fantastic. Apparently hes a Packers fan.
@trash266001 it's because he uses that guitar because it's a different tuning BEDGBE (low to high) and also uses a different one for Prison sex which is tuned BADGBE (low to high)
@trash266001 I've never seen him play this song with a silverburst. Keeping your guitar in such a wierd tuning long enough can warp the neck because of the unbalanced string tension. Unlikely, but not impossible. Either way, I wouldn't risk it with a 30 year old guitar either.
Every morning for months I would wake up , put this on my player and meditate for the whole track. It helped me to put my head on right. This will play at my wake.
Thank you so much for evening out the camera, not just focusing on Maynard the entire time. And also, thank you for sacraficing your chance to go nuts while they're playing so you can film this like you did. May be the best fan-filmed video I've seen.
When I saw them live for the first time and the climax to this song came (part around 7:20), I got fucking CHILLS up my spine. I couldn't grasp the enormity of how amazing this band is until that moment. It was the most sensational feeling I ever got while at a show, there was nothing else close to it.
@MKtagteamer I know exactly what you mean. I saw them in the summer in NOLA and had front row tickets. Words couldn't describe the meaning of the experience
theres no words to describe tool stile is amazing but thats not the word i want, i want to fucking feel the music acting weird as the song guides me TOOL will fucking prevail forever......Thumbs up if u feel as hell like this.....if not u can eat shit and die....TOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't really pay attention to the lyrics. Does getting naked have anything to do with the words.(I am not trying to b funny or crude in any way) I'm actually interested in a real answer.
@tbrockin3322 no it doesn't, its about been here for a reason, an specific reason that we should embrace , gain and achieve, its about all of us been eternal special beings , its about purpose and hope, faith and wisdom..its about the real you!the real us!
@devan616 when a singer is pitchy it throws off the performance for me. during some of this song he can't quite hit the notes and it hurts my brains. i've heard them play this better. i'm sure AT the show it was awesome, but it pales to the studio version if you just wanna listen to the song. The band sounds fine.
Danny, Justin, and Adam put on one hell of a show. Maybe they should mic Maynard up backstage so he dosen't have to perform in front of people. Poor guy.
tool are probably one of the best metal bands ever . the have there own sound and are different to other bands and if dont like wat i just said then fuck u
You'd better write them a letter requesting your setlist and where you'll be seeing them, so they know what show to play your specifically requested songs. They do what they do because they are your jukebox. Don't let them get away with not playing what you specifically want to hear. They better, cuz if they don't, you can boycott their live shows, and they need you there! It'll hurt their feelings otherwise. Don't let Tool get away with being amazing on their own. Shape them up!
I wasnt trying to sound mad or anything i was just meaning i want to see those songs performed live bc they are 2 of my favs lol... but way to waste probably about 30 minutes of your life thinking of how to word and putting together your huge sarcastic comment to make yourself seem so smart when i dont even care what some random person on the internet thinks and your really just making yourself look like a total douchebag..
Haha, internet rebuttals are fun. I don't care either, and that's the point of all this Youtube nonesense. I'm done. Good day, to you. Enjoy the rest of your life.
Dont you mean august 1st? because thats when im seeing them in NJ. Unless they are playing two days in a row...anyway im beyond excited. It will be my second time seeing them. There arent words for the experience these guys give you live.
Actualy, Maynard doesn't face the crowd because that represent how the music was made. It is 4 people who came together and made music out of a certain sound or idea and then put words on top. They don't believe in wiritng a song on top of lyrics. The lyrics come from what you feel in the song. Therefore, he stand in the back as if he were just another instrument... hense why they are all brilliant at what they do
No, he doesn't have stage fright. He doesn't face the crowd because he doesn't care about being known, he wants people to know their music and not the musicians that make it, so he intentionally hides himself so they can listen and focus on the music and visual art instead of watching him sing.
This is true. Pink Floyd did the same thing, they stood back and played and allowed the audience to enjoy a theatrical performance rather than show off.
Fans, before the cells (Balls) there are fans that keep them floating, the fans are shaped in a tube like fashion to make sure the air is blowing steady in one direction.
Guys, think that 1504hogner meant that the quality to the film is fuckin bad, as in baddass..lol...so lets give this guy a break and no more thumbs down for him..haha
I totally agree. I was seriously hoping for these two songs and lateralus. Luckily I got Lateralus at the Southaven MS show but no Parabol/Parabola >:( These two songs are freaking badass
