Yeh I saw them a few times in 2007, 2011 & 2013 and his voice got better each time, but even then he didn't get even close to sounding anything like that. Compare it to his apc show I saw also in 2013 where he was a little bit closer to that at least during the outsider.

What pissed me off the most was hearing him scream well for APC and then 2 months later skip half of the lyrics for pushit. Made no sense

I've heard him scream, and will in again in the live environment, I don't necessarily "need" it on a new album. What I do need is creativity and new territory, and given the two songs they've been playing, they've nailed that part.
This 100% is exactly how I feel. Maynard singing clean on this album just makes sense given where they are as a band. I would rather him stay where he is most comfortable so nothing feels forced or over extended.

- You like noisy music?
- Yes. The louder the better. Stops me from thinking.

Yeah that song touches me in special places. Was lucky to see it properly in 01 otherwise I probably woulda bottled him when he butchered it in 2013. Would rather they not play it at all if he's going to half arse it like he did

Are you referring to 'Pushit'? I saw them play it on that tour (both nights in Melb) and didn't think it was that bad - well it was better on the second night which was the second show of the tour. From memory he was also suffering a bit of sickness - well I hope he was because he certainly fucked up Vicarious on the first night and wasn't that strong on a number of songs.

Yep talking about pushit. Just the way he skipped half the chorus every time. I was so stoked to hear pushit back in the set. At first I thought he forgot the lyrics but nope he just started cutting his vocals out in the chorus . Is one of my all time favourite songs by anyone and musically it sounded great. Just felt why even bother play it if that's the effort he's gonna put in

Old, but cool. This definitely feels like a "prove the doubters wrong" tour. I'm loving how much fun all four of them are having. They know they are killing it.

Looks like Blair has access to post on the Toolband website once again, with information on their support in Europe...and more!
So Long, and Thanks for All the Tool.

Part of me sounding great 👍. The screams on opiate were so goddamn raw. Didn't have the chance, but I would have shit a brick hearing jerk off screamed into my face back in the day. Glad we have recording & videos of so many early shows. And these latest shows as well ;)

There hasn't been a reason to touch that website since Blaire left.

It's so refreshing to hear a new tool song. Maynard must be clawing at his eyes screaming about these freaks, here in this hole, this fucking hole we call la

Somebody mentioned that it sounds like Merkaba 2, which has me hyped. Think I'll abstain from hearing it until the album drops.

I had zero problem with him revising Pushit like he did. I took it as taking a different approach, not "half-assing" something. He still killed the screams and high parts in it, just divided the "chorus" (if you can even call it that) into a different flow.

Danny's been doing his synth/drum thing for a few tours or a bit longer even.(cant remember exactly) thats a good way to fill time/give M a break vocally. i dont think this will be on the album. also the ''intermissions'' are about 14 minutes long now? geeze.

I think Danny is the one that needs a break, the dude is pushing 60 and still killing it on the drums, he’s just incredible. We are in for a treat on August 30 from the looks of it, Maynard’s voice is sounding great so i bet he did a great job on the album plus the whole band is sounding tight.

Yeah the rest of the song still sounded ok , I just didn't enjoy when he did that part. I took it as half assing. If it was just to give it a different flow, then can someone please tell MJ next time they speak to him that the new flow sucked? K thanks

I disagree, but that is a totally fair opinion.

Now Vicarious on the other hand... I wish they'd stop playing if he can't/won't nail the end. Kills the entire song for me.
