There’s a Rush documentary on Netflix called “Beyond the Lighted Stage” and it includes clips of old home movies from the guys. Alex sitting at dinner with his parents discussing why he doesn’t want to continue high school is among them. Absolutely fantastic watch as I’ve seen it about qt times.
That’s awesome. Tool is the spiritual successor to Rush. It’s not an Apples to Apples comparison, but Rush pushed the boundaries of prog/rock/metal back in the 70’s and 80’s, and Tool continued to push in the late 90’s and 00’s. Also, today, a Mid-concert Danny Carey drum solo is the closest thing we can get to a Niel Peart mid-concert drum solo (RIP). And Danny is carrying that torch well! So happy to see this!
Tool’s ongoing fall tour recently took them to Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena, and for the occasion the prog heroes called upon Canadian native Alex Lifeson to help them through a set-closing performance of Jambi. No doubt Lifeson seized the opportunity to take to the stage alongside Adam Jones when the chance presented itself, given the fact the Rush virtuoso has repeatedly spoken of his admiration for the Silverburst Les Paul-wielding mastermind - and Tool - in the past.
Adam Jones doesn’t get the recognition that he deserves. He doesn’t do the guitar solo, but the only other guitar player who lays down a sound that is essential to the song is the edge.. U2 aren’t my favorite band,but he has a similar role. Jones and chancellor are tremendous… and you add the rhythmic subtlety and thunderous drumming of D Carey and you’ve got a powerful sound. Not much I need to say about A lifeson…one of my favorite guitarists in my favorite band.
Carey is probably capable of doing do, but I would personally give the nod to either Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater or Gavin Harrison of Porcupine Tree. Copeland would not be a great fit at all, despite his incredible resume with The Police.
@@byrondean Not attacking what you said or anything, but personally, I find even the notion of Ged and Al touring under the Rush name with anyone other than Neil offensive. Besides which, I've heard all those guys (except Gavin) cover Rush tunes, and their styles just don't gel. Although, the one-off stuff-tributes and such-are always fun to watch, I think the fans' last memory of them being with a different drummer for a stretch of dates wouldn't sit right at all.
@ENIGMVTIK It's fair to feel that way, because that's how I currently feel about "AIC" with William Duvall. To me, AIC isn't AIC without Layne Staley, but I'm also not a member of the band, and yet they chose to continue under that name as they have that exclusive right. Same deal with Geddy and Alex. Neil Peart will never, ever be replaced, but if touring under the Rush moniker means I might possibly get to see Alex and Geddy play live again, who am I to say no to that? Besides, I don't really think they will ever really fully tour again, considering that Lifeson has mentioned that his arthritis is progressively getting worse.
@@toolrammsteindeftonesBecause YEARS ago in a Guitar Magazine interview, he was asked “who’s your favorite band right now?” and without missing a beat, he responded with “Tool!”
took my 11 yr old daughter to foo fighters in ottawa july , godsmack aug 8th at budweiser stage tdot , metallica in montreal aug 13th , godsmack again oct 18 in london ontario , then finished off the yr with tool nov 21 in tdot lfg... steel beans is one crazy mofo
It was a mix of not knowing the song and security being all over us, my friend beside me was obviously filming so the guys on the ground kept lighting us up. I did get the full show audio on my watch at least...
Sorry Alex. If I knew what I know now Maynard James I would have suggested you both not doing a collab to be real with you. In Jesus Christs name we pray amen.
he is 60 and in three bands. touring hard for 30+ years. what do you want from the man. he does the best he can, not always going to have it every night.
People don't want to hear it, but Slipknot is kiddie shit comparatively. People would have to use the part of their brain that thinks to figure that out though- they like the aggression and energy and endless double bass drumming at high rates of speed more than all of the other stuff music does.
Tool is an appropriate name for this band, completely self-absorbed and the music has zero appeal, no matter how complex it is. Somehow this Maynard dude has convinced sheep that they are so complex and depressing it must be cool to be a fan.....I've been a Rush fan 40 years, Tool is a garage band compared to them.
Thank you! I'm in full agreement with you. It's not hard to play an E chord over and over again. I'm sure it inspired Alex to say Fu..k this shit, I need to play with Rush again.
Tell me you don't get the tune without saying "I don't get the tune". Jambi is a masterpiece of lyric, rhythm with a big swinging bass line and a tight guitar tone holing down a groove and taking a pretty cool solo, even if it's not Van Halen (as if everything needs to be). It's an awesome tune and very much what Tool does generally. Rush has been aping this thing with tunes like Time and Motion (that shit is 25 years ago now) and Spindrift because they're into what Tool does.
I wasn't saying anything negative about the song. I love tool. I just think they should have given him a song with some chord changes to where he could maybe do an extended solo over. Hell, even do an instrumental Rush song. I'm sure the rest of the band could keep up. @@colinburroughs9871
Know what would be good? Rush songs sung by somebody who is not Geddy Lee, someone with a normal voice. Entire albums could be made listenable, they could call it Rush DeGeddyed.
As a huge fan of Rush and Tool, I highly approve this video.
Alex, sitting with his family as a teen, discussing his music career at the kitchen table remains one of my faves.
sorry but, what are you talking about?

Add Alex Lifeson to anything and it gets better. He's the bacon of music....
Well said👏👏👏
Bacon is really high in Sat Fats.
Funny
Canadian bacon….. 🥓 🇨🇦
Bacon is good
my two favorite guitarists on stage together, what a time to be alive
right!? This came out of left field. Just so happy to see this
ABSOLUTELY!
And a bit ago Justin and Claypool were on the same stage
OMG. Can you imagine Danny working with Geddy and Alex if they get back together for a new project? That would be f***ing awesome!
Agree 👍. Their performance at the Taylor Hawkins tribute was unreal
alex is at the point where he can just be,and play music with whomever in whatever music he feels like,and just have fun
I was there on Tuesday. It was epic. First time seeing Tool. I put it in my top ten of concerts seen since the late seventies.
Me too ( first time ) I was in 108 section first row .. awesome show
@@b6k66 me to. first time.........fantastic show!!!!!...... best ive seen!!!!!............love rush though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well stated! Agree.
I've always felt like Tool was the offspring of RUSH
Love Tool but I gotta disagree, that’s too much praise. There are better and closer comparisons to Rush imo as well.
@@UroboricNateDream Theater?
My thoughts exactly!
Unexpected guest star, love it ❤
Adam and Alex are so close stylistically! Love this!
Thank you for risking it all to film this video.
Dropping the pick
And giving it back to the man
That was so cool
This brings the music of Tool to the next level! More please!
Been a huge Rush nerd since I was 12... what a cool time to be alive.
Alex is my fave Tool guitarist!
This just makes the world happy. Sigh. Makes me happier :) :) Alex is the glue that makes the world better
Now that’s just badass!!! ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
This is superb. So bummed it stopped at the best part
k.. I came to make sure i wasnt alone in this feeling!! 😂 😎🤙

It was awesome to see this delicious treat live that night
What an honor for Tool WOW
I’m sure they are thrilled to play with their idol Alex Lifeson !!
Absolutely amazing. Saw these guys live a month ago and it was incredible!
Thanks for this post!
It brings joy to me to see Alex Lifeson doing Jambi, while standing beside Adam Jones.
- So - Fu**en - Cool -
U sound old
Adam Jones doesn’t get the recognition that he deserves. He doesn’t do the guitar solo, but the only other guitar player who lays down a sound that is essential to the song is the edge.. U2 aren’t my favorite band,but he has a similar role. Jones and chancellor are tremendous… and you add the rhythmic subtlety and thunderous drumming of D Carey and you’ve got a powerful sound. Not much I need to say about A lifeson…one of my favorite guitarists in my favorite band.
So glad I saw this live.
Why was the video cut off before the rest of the song? The best part of the song was still coming up
The immortals in the presence of a Rock God. Doesn't get much higher than this.
This was Epic ❤❤❤
I love Alex playing a bit of Passage to Bangkok there!
tool super kapela,alex lifeson legendarni gitarista.
I was there, great show, didn't pull out my phone once like Maynard asked so thanks for this haha
Want to say I watched the whole video. But when I woke up it was over
Our first stop was in Bogota , to check Colombian fields..
Thanks so much for this Woot!
thanks for sharing! ✌🧡
how cool ... love it !!!!!!
I was there Tues night Nelson.... mint show, good vid you snagged dude
Tool just bumped up a notch ...
Total goosebumps!!!
Friggin awesome 😊
Best vid iv seen so far,but would’ve been better if all of it was gotten ✌️
My musical idol (AL) sharing the stage with my total crush (JC).
If rush ever decided to tour again. I think Danny Carey would be the one for the job.
Stewart
Carey is probably capable of doing do, but I would personally give the nod to either Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater or Gavin Harrison of Porcupine Tree.
Copeland would not be a great fit at all, despite his incredible resume with The Police.

Alex always killed on trailer park boys
I already loved Alex but then when I saw him on trailer Park boys AND it was funny? What a legend.
Cool how they started with passage to bangcock
I want to like this music so much. Love Alex.
Wowwwwwwww ❤❤❤❤❤❤ my two best band ever
Nooooooo don’t end it THERE!!
This is probably the coolest thing I’ve ever seen, how do I get this on a jump drive from you?
Pretty damn cool.
The best TooL and Alex video and it comes to a stop at Alex’s solo?🤷♂️
Oh yeah baby!!!!!!
Maynard the wizard behind the curtain. Bring back the mohawk and shirtless to overcome the gaze of so many fans
Very nice
Not quite Alex's style of music but very cool to see Alex making an appearance in a large venue again.
Alex has always been a Tool fan.
How you know what he likes?
Not best song to show off Alex’s skills
@@toolrammsteindeftonesBecause YEARS ago in a Guitar Magazine interview, he was asked “who’s your favorite band right now?” and without missing a beat, he responded with “Tool!”
Not his style? You're mistaken.
That's pretty damn cool.
Adam playing part of a new riff at the beginning…he did that with other music in the past…new music coming
That's actually the opening riff to a Rush song, Passage to Bangkok.
BAD ASS 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
How many can say they played with Peart and Carey?
WHY DID YOU CUT RIGHT BEFORE THE BEST PART???
took my 11 yr old daughter to foo fighters in ottawa july , godsmack aug 8th at budweiser stage tdot , metallica in montreal aug 13th , godsmack again oct 18 in london ontario , then finished off the yr with tool nov 21 in tdot lfg... steel beans is one crazy mofo
Where's the solo???
What? When was this? Last night?
Wow Tool with chord changes.
bruh, how you gonna stop recording just before the guitar solo? 😢
Very cool
This video cuts out before the interesting stuff
was he even introduced because my nephew was there and he didnt say anything about this
why'd you stop filming at the best part? Security catch ya?
Damn.... This was way better than the other video too... What a shame!
It was a mix of not knowing the song and security being all over us, my friend beside me was obviously filming so the guys on the ground kept lighting us up. I did get the full show audio on my watch at least...
Having a rough day, hit the booze and high AF. This cheered me up quick
the audio is superb lol
Was this 20th or 21st nov?
21st
W H A T!!!!!!
Did DMT at this show…
Bucket list check
Why is the singer in the dark? Totally 👻
Where's the singer???
On the box to the left of the drums. He stays in the back.
I thought Maynard had quit the band?
Still want to hear Maynard with Aaron Lewis.
Sorry Alex. If I knew what I know now Maynard James I would have suggested you both not doing a collab to be real with you. In Jesus Christs name we pray amen.
Is this a rehearsal? No energy.
I think Alex would like a little more action
Jealous of Toronto Tool fans
Ewwww you in big trouble with TooL, didn’t listen to the rules. JK, thank you.
Save for opening riff, couldn't even tell Lerxst was there.
Bro stopped filming not even halfway through
Guacamole is better with cilantro
so seriously where the fuck is Maynard hiding? wtf?
He stays up on the stages beside the drummer, you can kinda see the silhouette.
Rush is coming back. Just watch!!!!!
I hope that
Sounds like Maynard needs a break. He's the emotion of the band and it sounds like he's out of energy.
he is 60 and in three bands. touring hard for 30+ years. what do you want from the man. he does the best he can, not always going to have it every night.
@@kylejaros6406 Yea, I know.
Since Corey Taylor spoke nonsense and was shit talking tool they’ve brought out Alex lifeson and billy strings
People don't want to hear it, but Slipknot is kiddie shit comparatively. People would have to use the part of their brain that thinks to figure that out though- they like the aggression and energy and endless double bass drumming at high rates of speed more than all of the other stuff music does.
Who is Corey Taylor? Enough said.
My hero academia
Disappointing. I wanted to see more Alex Lifeson playing his rhythmic style adding some Rush flair to Tool.
low energy show huh
Polyrhythms. Too complicated for this guy.
TOOL has about 3 1/2 good songs. RUSH has about 300.
Justin looks lonely.
Worst end cut ever… middle of the song
Tool is an appropriate name for this band, completely self-absorbed and the music has zero appeal, no matter how complex it is. Somehow this Maynard dude has convinced sheep that they are so complex and depressing it must be cool to be a fan.....I've been a Rush fan 40 years, Tool is a garage band compared to them.
Cmon man don’t you wanna hear about how cool Maynard thinks he is?
Yah, sure, been around over 30 years, but sure, "self-absorbed". Thanks for your opinion.
Your boy Alex is a big fan of Tool and Adam Jones. Maybe your hero knows more about music than you do.
you just described pretty much most rock stars, so this isn't saying anything@@Shoot_and_Scoot
Couldn’t have picked a more, monotonous, repetitive, Tool song for Alex to play.
Thank you! I'm in full agreement with you. It's not hard to play an E chord over and over again. I'm sure it inspired Alex to say Fu..k this shit, I need to play with Rush again.
