should I check out his non-SYL stuff then?

I just read that he decided to end that band after this very set. I feel mad privileged to have witnessed this set in the flesh.

Oh man hell yeah. I’ve been meaning to start a thread. You’d love him.

GF is a big fan of his, I’ve enjoyed what she’s played. Ziltoid the Omniscient gets a lot of spins in this house, it’s pretty good.

It’s a pIsstake of RnM fanboys more specifically

Unlike with the mega Placebo post I wrote, Tool aren’t in my “this is my truth, so fuck you all” wheelhouse, so I definitely fall into this category.

Gave them a 4. At their best, a hyper dynamic, powerhouse of a band that for all their brazen shithousery can occasionally do some genuinely poignant material that also sounds near perfect.

In less expected Tool, Danny Carey’s also on this Daniel Romano podcast/single from last year.

On the money on Wings Pt 2. Very poignant as you say. One of the best

Yeah @Acorn - Juular is an absolutely massive tune to get you started with.

Wings Pt II is probably the only song I’d regularly listen to on 10,000 Days. Have little time for the rest.

Greg Saunier is one of my very faves

I reckon the production and pop sensibilities of NIN’s best stuff might appeal to you

Have a memory of some Tool fans on usenet turning on Maynard for Wings of Marie Pt II because of the distortion at the end - it was something that “lesser / more immature” bands would do and that Maynard should have outgrown that. The Holy Gift created a monster.

Whenever I’ve read tool fans writing stuff on the internet, I’ve got the impression that they’re generally pretty young, and take Tool seriously, in that way you can do when you’re like 16

They wish they had that excuse

I love Vicarious as well. Feel like 10,000 Days gets short shrift compared to Lateralus and so on but in general I think it stands up. I mean for me, beyond the music itself, I think the sentiment of ‘I need to watch things die from a good safe distance / why can’t we just admit it’ is a great thing to force on the American public in 2008, when they were extracting thier vengeance on Afghanistan and Iraq.

What’s the source on this? I KNOW I’ve heard it, defo a live recording, but I need to hear it again because truth.

#628

it’s on the Last Night I Saved Here From Vampires live album, after getting heckled by a guy in a Tool t-shirt

funnily enough i think a Tool song is playing over the PA at the start of the record if i remember rightly. that one with the riff.

Cheers, I’ve had a fair rake of cans and tried to find it in the interim, and ended up watching this SXSW 2012: Future of the Left (Cardiff, Wales) - In Conversation with the AU review. - YouTube
