    I saw them play this live in Vegas last month. They start by all sitting on chairs at the center of the stage, with Danny playing guitar. He then walks back to his drums later. It was so cool to see them jam together like that.

      @@sabarafilmes I never said Culling Voices has been performed live (although I couldn’t confirm if it has - I haven’t seen or heard it live). Adam has used a Boss PS looper and BF 2/3 hardware for lots of his effects. I’ve seen Tool live multiple times. The last one was Memphis before Covid stopped the FI tour. Prior to that I caught them in Nashville. Prior to that it was… a long list. If I’m interpreting what I’m seeing him do inaccurately, I apologize.

    Hey John ! Great to have you back on the TOOL journey.
    This one is kind of special.
    The "ugly duckling" of Fear Inoculum.
    Unfairly so.
    It's a grower. With a powerful buildup.
    Maynard is put under the spotlight here whereas as you probably know already he is usually considered like another instrument within the band.
    He is the one shining here.
    They don't play this song live. At least this is what I've seen so far.
    Indeed Adam plays 3 different guitar tracks on this one on the studio version.
    So doing it live perfectly like the studio version would be difficult. Except if he uses a looper as you suggested but didn't see that live as of today.
    He doesn't use a capo. On the D string, he plays on the 16th fret and on the G string, he plays on the 11th fret for the continuing melody from the start of the song. He alternates between those two to create this cool melody.
    This song is probably the evidence that proves how mature TOOL got over the years and since 10,000 Days.
    This whole album is sweating maturity for me (I don't know why some people don't see how TOOL evolved and transitioned into another dimension).

    I think with the last few tool albums, it's best to seperate the tracks and not blast through them all in the first sitting, I find the mind figuring things on first listen can exhaust. Same with Meshuggah. Then once exposed the full albums are more enjoyable to experience start to finish. It's a lot to take in.
