Re: *Official TOOL Thread*
I went to the 10/21/02 at Conseco Fieldhouse (Go Pacers!) in Indianapolis, IN.
Meshuggah opened and they absolutely positively sucked balls. It was some bald Swedish dude screaming at the top of his lungs with a bunch of thrashed out power chords playing in the background.
It was funny, in between songs the guy was like:
"Thank You, you fucking rock. Fuck Yeah. Fuck. You fucking rock America." he had a funny voice when he spoke, a cross between the chef on the muppets and James Hetfield.
Anyways,
Tool will send chills down your spine, you feel every note they play, and they play with perfection. There are the tightest (not like "thats tight dawg", but tight as in togetherness) rock band I've ever heard. I was about three people off the front rail and it was incredible. Maynard had on a pair of speedos, with his whole head painted black. He stood at the far back end of the stage facing away from the crowd playing a strange little bass or guitar (couldn't see). The whole show is an experience, with tons of lights and monitors. At the end they turned on black lights in the whole place and dropped black light repsonsive confetti during the encore.
All of their albums are incredible, I love how raw Opiate is. Anyways, can't wait for the new album and corresponding tour, I'll be there.
