It's Maynard's birthday today, and in the time honoured Fourtheye tradition I shall post a video of him doing one of my favorite Tool songs. Happy Birthday Maynard - see you in a couple of weeks! Watch for the cool laser effect at around 6:25...

You should have posted the video of him doing "Parabola" when his voice cracks and he throws the microphone on the ground. I love that video and when I feel like life is shit and want to be reminded that even the most focused and determined high functioning individual can fuck shit up sometimes... I watch that video. Happy Birthday Maynard.

I'm guessing you picked the Boston venue in light of what happened yesterday? you're very thoughtful if that's a case.

Happy bd MJK. Â Was at this show. Â So good. Â As for yesterday...ugh. Â I've been hearing stories from people I know that were there. Â Pretty terrible. Â Anyways, watch the 46&2 video from this taper as well. Â Danny gets some ridiculous visuals during his solo. Â Nutso.

No, it revolves around Adam, that could be a good question to ask him actually, if the world revolves around him.

This article was originally posted on the Fourtheye blog, and it doesn't bring the video link into the forum (presumably because the forum won't allow iFrames).
Here it is for those curious:
As I said in the OP, it's worth checking out just for the laser effect at 6:25. Â I'm sure most of us have seen it before at their shows, but from the angle that video is taken, it looks especially cool with Danny drumming on top of a lattice of lasers.

They need lasers to distract you from how terrible the music is.

It looks cool how Justin's and Adam's heads are sticking up out of the lasers which makes it look like a massive flood has consumed the arena. Impressive design.
In other news, my signed Opiate edition (version 4) arrived today (Sydney). It all looks very good, especially when you display all of the bits and pieces. I'm thinking of spreading it all out and combining it with an Opiate vinyl and then frame the whole thing. I didn't think $150 was worth it originally but I've now changed my mind... maybe

Or whatever passes for music these days to these drug-addled fanbois.
Fun day, really.

Pink Floyd used lasers, therefore they suck.
Gotta love the attitude of todays hipster douchebag.

It's been a while, Drury, but remember: we're not going to respond to you because you're a violent gun-nut who wants non-gun users' homes horribly invaded to "teach them a lesson".
Like I said - been a while, but you're fucking weird, so don't expect an answer to anything you say.
LOL, you fucking psycho.

Ah fuck it. Happy Bday, May Jay. You catch a lot of shit around here (though to be fair recently a lot of us here have caught on that it is probably Adam who is most to blame for Tool's laziness) but Tool wouldn't be Tool without your wine loving ass.

Just visited toolband.com and it appears that Blair had to remind us that "Nothings Matter" is still available (obviously not selling well). Did anyone buy the album? I dig some of the music but the Polish vocals or whatever that language is... I dunno, just wasn't for me I guess... Any other opinions?
