Maynard is fucking hilarious..that dance he does when the song starts hahaa...When i saw them a few years back at Forte Wayne, Indiana, he straight up started playing checkers on stage..was good shit..they had the floor of the stage all like up like a flood when they were playing Aenima (flush it all away)..was kickass
@10000diamondeyes as Maynard says himself he is only 1 part of the band. There are 4 members, without each other there would be no Tool. So yeah, respect to the whole band.
I really do think people are just happy to see TOOL live nowadays, just the idea of it is awesome, i believe.. I felt the same way, till i went to go see them twice on the lateralus tour and twice on their 10K Days tour. this whole light show BS is for the birds, they are just jammin out as if they're in their garage.. this is not ticket worthy i belive, i love TOOL but they arent into their live shows anymore.. if you look up Aenima tour shows, those were 100 times better than this.
@gorgeousgeorge23 ha, giving critism and not happy with the performance.. thats being a sheep??.. lol..if you wanna see a sheep, go to ur bathroom and look in the mirror.
@gorgeousgeorge23 Dude, get real! They're in their 40s now! Of course Maynard is not going to act like he did on stage in the early 90s! I love bands that change with the times and mature, unlike the 80s groups that keep on performing and acting exactly the same way they did 30 years ago but are as old as dirt.
@naj6911 man, i get it.. i just wasnt happy with the performance.. I love TOOL, believe me.. but damn, people are gettin all butthurt just cuz i critisized them.. it really shouldnt be that serious...
I was lucky to be there. Had a pretty good view, I wasnt down with the crowd but I was up on the hill by the VIP tents and I could just see over the crowd to see the band. Was an amazing concert...
wats crazy is that right as they started playing that night a guy hands me a J. also 1.5 weeks b4 this i was in a motorcycle wreck broke my elbow and totalled my triumph daytona 675. TOOL RULES. as maynard said at the show. he missed the prime part of his wine harvest season to play. thank you for your kindness Lord Maynard !!! lol
tool on ecstasy wood be better but me and my friends used to get blazed and listen to them all day and night at his crib. wished to of been there...fuck
This was definitely the best night of my fucking life. I was somewhere in the front, these stupid chicks kept on falling because they were holding hands.
But damn. Thank you for posting this. It made the memories come backkk.
Am I the only person who thinks that Chicago is the best venue for this kind of music? I was standing right next to the sound stage (some stoned chick passed out on my friend-LOL) and it was orgasmic to be listening to the greatest of all bands ever and looking back to see the sky scrapers of Chicago over the dimly lit haze of the city? Damn, I just near jizzed my pants remembering it... One of the best nights of my life right here.
Yeah way too much pushing. I am 6'2" 280 lbs, and It was too much for me, I had to work my way over to the right. The view was just as good, but I actually listen to the music. I will say, however, that when I hear this song I can remember the concert better than any other song - mainly because of the pain and fear of getting crushed. Weird, but I glad it happened, because my memory of the night is really triggered.
hahaha pathologicalglances has a point it was so packed in there and i was being pushed every which way and just dying of thirst at this point it was distracting me from seeing tool it was fun slipping through all of the slimey sweaty bodies though hahahahaha
I was fucking there dude and almost got crushed during this song. I was so close though I could have spit on Justin. It was a good show, but I would never be that close again for a Tool show. Too fucking distracting. Tool is meant to be able to saturate you, I don't think I want to ever be touched while listening to them live again.
WHAT!? he smelled pot a TOOL concert? NO WAY!!!! lol first time i smoked i listened to TOOL for the first time also, and i fell in love instantly, with both substances
The only band I've seen that doesn't need to headbang or do anything stereotypical like that onstage to be good. I would kill to relive this concert. I smell marijuana, for those of you who didn't get the memo, that's illegal... Good news, we just got the clearance. It's okay to take your clothes off.
great vid, i was there on the other side of the soundstage. I also agree about them playing H. I personally wish they'd play right in two, or The Grudge
Does anyone know what the setlist was they played this night? I am just curious because I went and saw them in Cinci, which was their last stop before lolla and they rocked out as usual!
this was fucking incredible. almost tripped acid for this show. kind of glad i didn't because i got right in the middle of one of the mosh pits...might have been a little overwhelming. This was the loudest and most powerful concert i may have ever been to. I just can't decide which was more epic...this? or jane's addiction the following night? i got right up close for that one? what do you guys think? and for those of you up front...did you guys worry about wearing earplugs?
Yeah, this show was great. I purposefully didn't go to the very front. (I learned my lesson at Rage last year) . I think Maynard was really into this show. He seemed happy to be there...I had a great time!
ik it may seem like that to some, but he is just being modest because he doesn't want to be idolized like most frontmen are, he is just 1/4 of TOOL and doesn't feel he is anymore important than danny, adam, or justin, anyway that was one badass concert i was about fifth row
Exactly, he isolates himself. Unlike other lead singers. Like its working, he had more cheers than any other member. People do idolize him. He understands this. BUT, what happened to the group hug after concerts, why does he enter from a different area? That's what I was getting at.
I for one think the victor of the concert was Danny. What a beast.
I was in the mosh 20 feet from the band for the first three songs. It was one hell of an experience but i wont do it again, too many idiots. First Tool show, and im still blown away days later. Thanks for the post.
Every other band performing on this day are probably hiding in their dressing rooms.. they just got b!tch slapped by pure power..
