Get to go with 5 of my best friends, 3 of which have never seen Tool (1 has never been to an actual ...

Re: TOOL Fall 2023 tour

After finally breaking the wife and getting VIP for Eugene 2020 only to be shut down by a pandemic, I'm finally getting my chance to see Tool via the VIP experience. Scooped up a Eugene OR 2nd Row VIP package for myself after the wife gave me her blessing for an early birthday present. Was able to s...

Re: Opiate2

I really enjoyed the effects on the vocals leading up to the “scream” as well as the guitar tone throughout. Definitely the two highlights for me. I feel jaded as I have become used to the amazing drum and bass work from Danny and Justin. The vocal effects especially in the second half coming out o...

Re: Opiate2

All the typical Tool delay griping aside, I really love what they did hear. A great blend of old and new. The dynamics on the track are awesome especially listening on a nice 2.1 system. The guitar tone shows AJ's evolution but hasn't lost any of its grit from the original. Justin really shines here...

Re: Fear Inoculum Ultra Deluxe LP

Agree. $810 is pretty awesome for an original pre release pressing signed by the band. The level of craftsmanship and detail in that packaging is top notch and the vinyl is primo. Looking forward to see where this lands on the general release.

Re: 2022 North America & Europe Tour

Was in attendance last night with the wife for her 3rd show and my 7th. Between the setlist and the vibe from the band this show has climbed to the top of my experiences. I was able to see them at Monster Mash in 2015 and I though that was going to forever be the the best but this whole show front t...

That’s all I got for you guys. Wow. Everything about this show for me put it at the top of the 7 times I’ve seen them. If your seeing them this go around you won’t be disappointed. Dare I say they have been listening to the fans…

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread

Haha the wife is awesome and a Tool fan herself. She’s given the go ahead for the autographed if it’s attainable. There was some heavy eye roll when mentioning price but she ultimately gets it lol. Let’s just say it won’t be hanging in the living room 🤣, but that’s what the jam rooms for any way.

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread

Really hoping I finally get to hear Descending live. It wasn't played at the three shows I went to after Fear Inoculum was released. Would be great to hear 7empest as well, but I'd be surprised if it's back on the setlist at this point. Stay positive my friend. If you check the first 2 shows they d...

Re: New Album Touring

Should have known, the AXS experience was a shit show. I was ready to pay good money to get a set. Both my wife and I entered the waiting room as soon as it opened on computers and phones and as soon as it went live we got dropped into the que. She got through only to be told a there was none left. ...

Re: New Album Touring

Any have an experience with AXS this morning? I'm on the west coast and gearing up to get tickets for night one at Staples. They offer "AXS Premium" or "Standard" not sure the difference? Have read good things about them as a ticketing outfit so fingers crossed.

Re: Fear Inoculum with SPOILERS

Holy Mackerel. That was a 7ucking ride! I honestly was not expecting this record to sound so good. I went into this first listen completely blind. No live songs on Youtube, no single, no reviews. I was expecting a decent album on par with 10,000 Days. I was very wrong making that assumption. Every ...

To all those who held out... today was something special.

I’m still trying to grasp it all and digest the feelings the whole experience brought with it. Thank you Tool, thank you all artist involved, thank you to this community. Today will forever be etched into who I am.

Jumping back in here after some time away to see the reactions of the shipments hitting the road. Can’t express how excited I am after the whole 13 year ride!

Maybe they are going to post at 11:23:58 PM (pacific time, of course) to commemorate Fibonacci himself.
