So not only are you trying to once again create in fighting, but you're stealing my slanderous term jerk! You're skating on thin ice around here as it is Mr Bottles.

I'll limit my elite list to only 5 or 6 songs I'd find it hard to never hear again:
Third Eye
7empest
Jambi
Stinkfist
Pneuma
46 & 2
I was tempted to include Reflection here but only if we can hear the Disposition/Reflection/Triad piece altogether etc. My list above doesn't include any songs from Lateralus so maybe I should throw in The Grudge or Parabola just for fun.

I worked for them from early 1998 - late 2003. One of the reasons they hired me was because Fred liked Tool.Bobby Bottleservice wrote: ↑Sun Jan 31, 2021 1:14 amJunior, this is interesting. You are being very vague. I think you spill the beans?

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
actually this past week my memories been a tad weird but only with a few small things. i didnt even think of my old neighbour Bryan that moved almost 3 years ago at this point :S Thanks for the reminder, TYSON. im just taking a little vacation i guess or a permanent one ? heavy Aerosmith!Busty McCracken wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 1:39 pmGeez im used to Bob never listening to me but now hes doing it to even himself!!! Bob you deserve better than that mate, listen to yourself. It's what Bryan would have wanted.
f'd if i know Busty, shit happens as they say! ha
naah, Third Eye is one of my all time favs by Tool. As a song that holds up better then 7empest ever will :0 I have doubts it will ever sound as cohesive as it should live. Third Eye just has it. The lighting rig at the Tool shows is the best thing about them anymore

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
Ok Junior. this band was trying something different back then (Damn, we are fucking old). I thought it sounded cool, but not for very long. I witnessed (on youtube) Limp Bizqit played Opiate and it was not good at all. I am surpised becasue I think Wes Borlad is a great guitarist. Maybe it was the rest of the band that sounded like shit?junior wrote: ↑Mon Feb 01, 2021 8:17 pmI worked for them from early 1998 - late 2003.

I'd heard that he once told an interviewer that he wouldn't listen to Limp Bizkit if he wasn't in the band.
I had some good times with them. I don't want to make it sound like it was all negative. The "Opiate" cover was just too weird for me.

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
I've always heard his other stuff he's done outside of LB is pretty well done. I always think back to the breakstuff video and Fred and everyone look like your typical early 2000's nu-metal dudebro's and Wes looks like this:junior wrote: ↑Tue Feb 02, 2021 8:25 pmWes was always a bit different than the other 4 guys.Bobby Bottleservice wrote: ↑Tue Feb 02, 2021 8:04 pmOk Junior. this band was trying something different back then (Damn, we are fucking old).

Ok, so I looked up some interviews and it seems that Wes and Fred are pretty down to earth, so I can see that you would have some fun times together. I also had to look up Limp B and Opiate again. it is a 2013 show and the band sounded really good, but I can not lie, Fred still sounded like crap. He is obviously not a real singer.
Junior, I do hope that you guys get going late this year (maybe wishful thinking). Any optimistic talk from you and your crew?

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
I reckon they should all just relocate to aus , quarantine and then just keep touring around the island in circles. Im sure their families wouldn't mind.

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
They were still playing "Opiate" in 2013? I haven't worked for them since 2003, so I'm not up on what they are like now. When I was with SOAD, Bizkit were on an Australian festival tour with us (Soundwave 2012). I think that's the only time I've seen them since 2003. The sound guy they had back in 2003 was also on that tour with another band (Alter Bridge) and he and I went out front to watch Bizkit the first day of the tour. We looked at each other on the way to FOH and realized how weird it was to be making that trip together again, but not in a working capacity.Bobby Bottleservice wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 8:44 pmjunior wrote: ↑Tue Feb 02, 2021 8:25 pmWes was always a bit different than the other 4 guys.Bobby Bottleservice wrote: ↑Tue Feb 02, 2021 8:04 pm

I haven't heard any plans for this year, but the crew often don't hear about plans right away. I think everyone is still watching the situation to see how it's going. I wouldn't doubt that management and the booking agent are at least putting together hypotheticals. They are constantly doing that, anyway.
Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
I'd be up for that. My lighting crew chief lives in Brisbane. He's probably eager to get out of Aussie for a while, but would gladly do any shows, I'm sure.Busty McCracken wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 12:56 am I reckon they should all just relocate to aus , quarantine and then just keep touring around the island in circles.

Might not be that much of a pipedream after all. Just read this link below. We should become the touring/ sporting mecha of the world right now. Turn this shitfight into a positive.

I'm not sure my wallet will cope with 2022, or whenever touring becomes a thing again, as I suspect there might be a flood of showsBusty McCracken wrote: ↑Thu Feb 04, 2021 1:11 pm Might not be that much of a pipedream after all.

Tool will be back in Oz again, I have no doubt. Danny did mention to me that a followup tour was very much on the cards, but it's anyone's guess as to how the timetable looks now

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
I mentioned earlier that Wes Borland has great music. I guess his solo stuff is under "Black light burns" and the album that I'm talking about is "Cruel Melody". It is a very well put together album. I have not listened to any other of his stuff. But this a great listen.Whowatchesthewampas wrote: ↑Wed Feb 03, 2021 6:19 amI've always heard his other stuff he's done outside of LB is pretty well done.
