while both good, Â i would much rather hear the Grudge or Ticks or Parabola or any song at all off lateralus over any song off of undertow but i wouldnt be upset if they were to bring out flood or 4 degrees or (heaven forbid) prison sex. i love it all (tools work) but prefer some to others. Â Â

hell im still waiting till i get to be at the show where Nard squeezes the fuck out of his cat with some sweet vox effects and we finally get a Mantra.

opinions, assholes, something something. hahaha. Â

Truth. Hearing "The Grudge" and "4 Degrees" in one show (along side "Lateralus", mind you) made me realise that I actually got the setlist I always wanted from the band.

Besides "Third Eye" and "jimmy". But fuck, you can't win 'em all.

My friend has a video standing next to me where you can hear my exact reaction, but I don't think I'll ever share that. It's embarrassing. I may or may not have quietly gotten choked up by the time it got to "So good to see you; I've missed you so much..."

And if that wasn't enough, by the time I'd recouped from the shock we got The Patient followed by Intolerance. Fuck. I want to go back to that show. Also they had cut an already tiny arena in half, so it was essentially a small theater show.

I was at the show. Â There was a collective shitting of pants. Â We had our arms outstretched as we sang the same lyrics to the band. Â I cried when they played The Patient and my fiancÃ© threw it down when it was followed by the "time travel"....I think we all wish they would do a bit more time traveling. Â The most beautiful aspect of that show, was that it was spoiler free. Â That show is the very reason I try to be vigilant about set list spoilers. Â It was awesome!!!

Yep! I was like, goddamn, never reading another setlist again.

For those making recommendations on favorite Tool boots, please add them here:

Along with links if you've got them.

@ Joey - I had a similar experience in Reno last year. Â Finally getting to hear T&L live was brilliant, even with a megaphone'd MJK. Â In fact, fuck Maynard entirely... guest vocalist(s) and let's get a REAL set list.

But yeah I don't know how any set list can't please, I mean we're all on this forum because we love tool, end of, no need to be cunt about things really.Â

Man. The back to back nights at red rocks will likely always be my favorite shows. Full lunar eclipse during the first night with thirdeye, the patient, intolerence. And then the next night they played intension for the first time I believe, Â followed by right in two.Â

Yup, pretty much it, swapping out Stinkfist for Pot and and a bit of re-jigging... Likewise, even thought that was my second show on that tour, was not expectingÂ IntoleranceÂ or Patient at all.. Special stuff!

as i am far more a justin era fan. i much prefer things when they dropped most of undertow and opiate. those albums held them back musically. Â Lateralus 01 -02 (although MJK started losing his voice near the end of 02 so there is that) tour was their peak as far as live musical achievement.Â

Fuck you, Paul wrote most of aenima

joeypants · Post by **joeypants** » Thu May 09, 2013 8:48 am

Justin's effects work alone puts a huge personal stamp on the Aenima material, whether the wrote certain actual riffs or not. Not to mention his general tone and playing style is different.

Skip the EP, as the full-length is basically the EP with a handful of other songs from various places tacked on. Very unsatisfying, I felt, after being a massive, massive, fan of the EP for so long.

But, you get to skip the dissatisfaction if you go straight for the LP.

Ravenpig · Post by **Ravenpig** » Thu May 09, 2013 5:58 pm

Feersum Enjin LP is ok, nothing great. Paul is still a top notch bass player and it does have Danny on drums in the first track. OG Tool rhythm section!

Oh and its much better than Mtvoid though to be fair they aren't the same kind of music.

Upon reflection, was a great set. What the hell was I thinking
