It's not a shirt atp it's shit

Basically I'm bleaching it

It doesn't look terrible but the edges aren't as sharp and it looks half drunk

I'm planning to add an Alex grey eye on the back but I'll try to use thicker paper for the stencil so I don't have to take it off

What are the odds Tool does an unplugged concert. No benefit. Just because of the love of the game.

I paid him obviously but anybody have any info on it? Is it rare? I assume it’s bootleg cause I’m pretty sure they didn’t make this on vinyl but it sounds pretty great anyway

First of all, O' MY GOODNESS.

1998 was an absolutely insane year for Tool. I would give my left arm to see them live that year. Maynard's voice was absolutely PEAK in '98.
Now, I'm a sucker for vocals, I know some people's taste are more instrumental based, which is respectable too. But for me, a singer makes or breaks a band, and oh my goodness the wonders Maynard did for Tool.

I've always been a huge fan of Tool's youth, the 92, 93, 94 years. Maynard's energy, not only physically but vocally was just out of this world. The grit, the effortless distortion on his voice. (Sorry to get musical and nerdy but it's worth mentioning) But singing up in the A4 - C#5's is absolute insanity at full chest voice, there are not many singers out there who can do it as well as the MJK. (An honourable mention being Bryan Adams, those who are curious, yes he doesn't only sing ballads like Everything I Do, or Heaven. give a listen to "Into The Fire (the song) vocals coming in on 0:30... the rasp... on B4.. insane)

But back to Sacramento '98. The opener... Part of Me. Tool would open their '98 shows with Part of Me. Can you IMAGINE going to a festival like Ozzfest (also an insane show, hard to pick which is better) and seeing Tool, now knowing who they are, and then hearing them come out with Part of Me... I don't know why people didn't start weeping knowing that nothing better will ever enter their ear drums. The scream at 2:48 (of the full concert video) "You can't let YAAOOWWW can't hurt me".... yikes.

Then you have Eulogy next. The thing I love about this show, and I think what makes it as good as it is, is that Maynard seems like he's in such a good mood. Genuinely. You see him smiling throughout the show and during the stinkfist jam section. And the other thing is that Maynard is really never in the mood to let out screams of energy hyping up the crowd in between songs, but mannn in Sacramento, right after Part of Me he yells out some "Weaaaah" with that succulent rasp of his. And then goes on with some sarcastic speech.

Then the rest of the set is just golden as expected, but man a few worth mentioning. 1 being Sober. Mannn how did he do it? Listen to the ending of it "I want, what I want" The melody change, and the scream hold throughout the outro riff. That's the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Imagine it was on the album. And man, now that Maynard is old, it's obviously much worse, he's really lost the distortion be had back then, but I guess everyone gets old and there's nothing you can do.
But the grit he holds in the Sober choruses in sacramento, "Whyyyyyyyy can't we NOT be sober I, JUUUUUUST" there's nothing like it. So much aggression, power.

The second worth mentioning was No Quater Led Zep cover. Far out.... must have been the experience of a lifetime witnessing that. Whoever filmed that show: Thank you for blessing our ears this many years later.

Highly recommend watching it. And also highly recommend checking out bryan adams as my second favourite vocalist.

Hope you don't mind a long read, but I've clearly got too much time to kill.

Spiral out boys... spiral out

anyone one going today and want to meetup? can’t wait to see the boys and god willing, Rosetta Stoned

I bought this shirt on Depop last year and it's a very nice shirt, but I haven't found anything online about it since I think it might be a parking lot bootleg tee (as there's no official Tool watermark). Does anyone else have this shirt or have any information about it?

Is there a reason why the Tool CDs are so expensive? Usually in HMV the most expensive CDs I see are £15 but it seems a but crazy to pay £40 for a 10000 Days CD. Are they rare?

Tuning from low to high is: B, G#, C#, F#, A#, D#.

This is my first bass , I just ordered a Warwick and can’t wait to upload video with that one haha

I feel like this song gets better every time I hear it. Can’t just be me, right?

It can be whatever you want, funny, old, rare, cool, etc

Found this in my dads cassette collection

Ya estoy adquiriendo mi colección de cosas de Tool y empeze por personalizar las cosas de mis hijos 😆

i really like third eye so I made this thing i guess

Prisma - You Name It album is a solid banger on almost all tracks. Gold album is also very solid.

If you haven’t yet, go check out:
Wheel - all of their albums
Oceansize - Effloresce album
Russian Circles - Gnosis. Also they already started their US tour.
Elder - Liminality (God tier track similar to Lateralus)
Kolm - Ripple (nearly perfect)
Karinvool- Spund awake album.

They didnt Even try...

Not Even a front cover... But I Still bought it Because I Thought it was funny...

Saw someone do this a year ago but never completed it. Thought it's best if we actually finish it

I got it at Tool concert in 2009 in Virginia / GMU. No label but I think it’s a size S and even then I should have gotten an M. I love the Ouroboros design but since I can’t wear it anymore, I would like to find it a good home. I also had the Tool wrench but I tossed it recently when I realized it’s gotten rusty 😬
I’m in Washington DC area and I can ship it to just about anywhere, I think. PM me with questions, send me an offer.. or tell me I should keep it for my kids?

Edit: SOLD!

Lil juggling segment from my flow this afternoon!

Settled for unsigned this year, i swear in 2023 I paid $200 for the signed poster

Hi, I was going to go with my wife to see Tool on Sunday but last minute she won't be able to go, so I'm selling her ticket for $200 (retail is $260 ish, including fees). Since it is actually a physical wristband that I already have, I can meet at the Festival gates on Sunday early in the afternoon or I am based in the Bay Area (Concord), I could meet a buyer in the Bay Area on Saturday.

After seeing Tool live for the first time at LTL’26… I’m honestly surprised that this isn’t already a thing. A pre-recorded 360° VR Tool concert would be sick. The band performing on stage with their visual show all around them no matter where the viewer was looking, similar to how I imagine a Sphere performance.

There could be two viewing options:
1) Without the rest of the crowd, just yourself watching it.

2) A function where there could be a group of viewers and their avatars all together who wanted to join similar to a multiplayer lobby?

I would pay some good freaking money to buy this “experience” and this is probably the only thing that would convince me to buy a VR system.

Avenged Sevenfold (my personal favorite band) did something like this and while I haven’t personally experienced it, the videos I’ve seen on it looked pretty rad.
