Tool.
I’ve recently fallen in love with Tool again, after an almost complete hiatus of a few years. A few years back, Tool lived in the background of my life, a constant. This was a particularly dark time. So by association, listening to Tool now placed me back in that head space.
But listening to them again over the past few months, really listening, and having a new album to reflect on (10,000 days), I’ve reached a whole new level in my appreciation. It has expanded and gone deeper.
For all Tool’s darkness, I now see their light too. Listening to Tool is like riding a great wave that lifts you up and pulls you down, sometimes simultaneously. I see the spiritual aspects and the yearning to move forward, and the balance in their songs, both lyrically and musically.
I’m always finding new layers. And with the layers, appreciation.
Like a great friend, I think you’ve found a really great band when it evolves with you, and you with it.

Yey or nae? http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WDIPNUBP Did anyone else see them there? That concert kicked a$$! I saw MUSE at the Garden with their own alien sh*t but nothing beats TOOL. I just wish they had played The Pot, though... I was wondering if anyone had a set list for this tour. Also, is the opening band worth checking out or should we just hang out in the parking lot and drink? Going to see TOOL tonight in Pittsburgh. Fucken excited. Hope all well. I recently saw Tool live, and I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find the awesome visuals they used? I'd really like to find the director. I've looked on YouTube but no luck. :( Just went to the Tool Concert last night in Toronto! Hello, I was wondering if anyone here knew if the vinyl listed in the subject line had graphics on the sleeve or not. |
