They at Nissan? Well, Jiffy Lube?

nah. Eagle Bank Arena, formerly known as the Patriot Center

can't blame 'em, I wouldn't want to play in a stadium named "Jiffy Lube Live"

Hope you enjoy. I'll be seeing them in about 2 weeks when they are playing Chicago.

Christmas in July....wait a second

When you're listening to Tool, just remember that they're not like other bands. Their music is incredibly artistic, almost to the point where you have to be paying complete attention to them to even remotely understand them. I remember listening to a song on Lateralus (though I can't remember what it was), where I thought a song was absolute bollocks during the listen. Then, I closed my eyes for a second, and all of a sudden the song had an entirely new meaning. It was insane the way Tool could just become something so different when you take a look into the music.

Another thing you should note about Tool is that it's easy to get a headache listening to them. Not because they're a bad band, but because of how many ideas their music is riddled with and how complex they are. Soon enough your head will fill to the brim and the rest will just sound like noise to you. Just turn it off and give it a listen the next day.

If you don't like the music, you'll definitely at least enjoy reading through the lyrics, and picking apart the song itself and all of the artistic values that go into making it the complexity that it is.

NO, THERE'S A FAT FUCK SITTING NEXT TO ME

he's spilling over into my seat

so fucking jealous. Tool is one of the last few bands on my list that I need to see live. the only stops they're doing near me are part of festivals and well.. fuck that.

I wondered what Brutal was doing these days

I saw them in 06 or 07, good times.

does everyone know what time it is?

not Tool Time

dunno who these guys are

eww, they're like one of those jam bands that plays dissonant melodies that sound out of tune

boo-urns

alright, here we go. I'll see you on the other side @_@

that was pretty fucking awesome. good setlist.

The Grudge
Parabol/Parabola (amazing)
Schism
Opiate
Aenema (awesome)
Descending
Jambi
Forty Six & 2
Third Eye (fantastic)
Vicarious
Sweat
Stinkfist (fucking nailed it)

Maynard wore his strange suit of armor and cracked some poop jokes. in Aenema, he also substituted "DC" for "LA" in the chorus - "LEARN TO SWIM, SEE YOU DOWN IN THE CHESAPEAKE BAY"

21 posts, CE. That's real disappointing.

Fuck......I waited too late. They're sold out for the Chicago show. :(

i frantically waited for the website to load the second they went on sale and bought the best seat I could find. I checked back a half hour later out of curiosity and they were completely sold out

They need to release their new album already

They played third eye? Jesus fuck I would trade my left nut to see that

yeah, it was sweet. if there's one song I'd give my left nut to see though, it'd be the alternate version of Pushit, like the one off Salival. that's easily my favorite Tool song

I stayed up all night so I could try to buy them when they went on sale. Still took me about an hour before I got through, and that was after my computer crashed on me. Got seats on the side of the stage, but they might actually be slightly behind.

But like Sparta said, that is necessarily a bad thing. When I saw them in Chicago about 15 years ago, Maynard was behind a screen for most of it anyway, and its not like they are know for elaborate stage setups anyway.
