#Tool #Sober #Reaction 
Видеоклипы
Ill never understand how Maynard was able to deliver those second and third choruses with THAT posture. It’s almost inhuman cuz being someone who sings, to get that projection you have to have movement of your diaphragm and he’s like suppressing all movement. It’s crazy.
So much power in those choruses.
He actually tricks you with that, the movement he is using is with his arms to the side of the lungs. He is basically playing his own lungs like bagpipes this is allowing him to squeeze more air than you would expect. Not particularly healthy but it does add to the performance he was projecting visually and it actually gives a slightly different sound that I suspect he was after.
@@Crivicus i dunno...just, not to be a dick, or to create a point of argument or anything, but I just can’t see how that’s possible, being a singer myself for many years...musician for 21 years (guitar) and a tool fan for about that long as well (I even have 3 tool covers on guitar on my channel and I truly believe my Forty Six and 2 cover could be the only 100% correct one on the platform. I also went to college (university) for music theory and part of it involved singing and the techniques and talked a lot about the human anatomy and the way it contributes to how we sing...
And I just can’t see that position working in the particular way you speak of. Then again, I can’t find an actual reason for it myself. I guess I’m just curious if that’s your personal opinion of why he does that or if you heard/read that somewhere? And if it’s credible...like where/what it was? I’m super curious.
@@ZolFox I read it somewhere but it was so long ago now that I don't really remember where, so definitely don't take it as fact.
Like you, I have been a tool fan for a long time, but not being a singer when I read it I figured it kinda made sense and could explain how he manages it.
I would love to know if you find out any more about it (like the source, because not remembering is going to bug me) and especially if what I have believed for so long is right or not.
@@Crivicus oh cool thanks for being chill about my point of contention. Most people get all butt-hurt and pissed off lol. I’ll certainly look into it cuz the more I watch this performance (at least every time I come back to reply to comments and stuff) by the time he’s at full power in the chorus, one octave higher, he seems to do it even more, and I swear he even did this even more aggressively on their Lateralus tour, but from what I remember (cuz they just had to play The Pot for their second song and I was at THAT age, you know...we got really good weed lol, but yeah there’s some blanks in my memory from that show) he had completely abandoned that style of singing or whatever you wanna call it. And never did it with APC and I have yet to see Puscifer live...but there’s something interesting there and I wonder if anyone, maybe a vocal coach, has analyzed this to the extent I’d like to hear about it, cuz personally being a singer it intrigues me and although I don’t see myself trying this out necessarily...you never know. Right before I created my channel like ten years ago, I never thought I’d be doing vocal covers of metal tracks and be able to figure out how to do that screaming, but I worked at it and well, I still do it to this day. Not vocal covers. I’ve just done guitar covers for the past few years. But it’s the WHY that intrigues me so much. And if it’s just a like visual display like I assume is the case, how is he still able to project so much while restricting his diaphragm so drastically. It’s like a mindfuck. Or he’s an alien and the answer is as simple as that 👽 lol.
"i will work to elevate you,
just enough to bring you down"
I fell like this part can be interpreted as the addiction talking. When an addict is intoxicated he feels good, but then he feels the guilt after
Maynard very often does double meaning lyrics.
The song "The Pot" is a perfect example
I have always felt the same way, it’s the addiction talking.
It is...the high will make you feel great again, but after everytime you do it and come down, your life is a little more miserable than it was before.
imo i think the whole song is from the addiction point of view
hes better than eminem with is double entendres
We were one of the only Reaction Channels who hadn't done this one yet 😂. We have a really in-depth discussion about my struggle with addiction and discuss the biblical view of alcohol. It might be a little controversial to some of you. 😬
I appreciate you sharing your story. God Bless!
I've watched most tool reaction channels grow from near day one.
i too struggled with addiction. i feel even more of a connection with this channel.. this channel is amazing
While we may have different opinions on many topics, your openness about your own struggles is a positive example to others suffering similar problems. Your wisdom about those difficulties and what you need to do in order to take care of yourself is a guide for many. Thank you for talking about this and the best wishes to you and your family!
There is song you need to react too. Its called - God we need you now. Its by Strugle Jennings He is a Rapper. I would really like to know your thoughts on it. Thanks!!
What impresses me about this is how Maynard, rather than just standing there singing, gives himself to embody the character of the tortured soul of the alcoholic/addict. I think it give an emotional authenticity to the song.
I always thought of the "whistle" line as a cry for Jesus to snap him out of his focus and grab his attention, as one might a dog that is doing something wrong. Or perhaps to whistle to mark the beginning of an event.
That’s similar to my thought. I interpreted the whistle reference like a coach or referee blowing a whistle to stop the game.
Thats how he dealt with stage fright at first. Now he stands in the dark to Danny's right side
And I think both lend a very genuine artistic dynamic to his work.
@@walker7155 he may not be, but in this song it may represent" prove your existence right and help me out of this"
@@walker7155 I doubt Maynard holds much hate for anything. Then again, I'm not him, nor you. But I got to ask why do you feel the need to soo vigorously defend your interpretation of a song someone else wrote? When Maynard himself says he has no problems with people making their own interpretations of his music.
I have a friend who saw tool before they were famous. He said it was such a strange experience. He said Maynard would kinda pick out a person in the crowd and just stair at them through an entire song and not blink the whole time.
He never blinks during performances. I read that he gets bad anxiety when performing and will "crawl inside his own mind" often wearing costumes. It helps him envelope in the music. It's so intense.
My all time favorite band. So much emotion in all Maynards lyrics. He also has the song called H and opiate. Those of us that have been there or who are there understand this all to well.
H.
So damn good...
...the whole album, infact
Opiate is (also) about religion according to maynard. It was off their first ep and its named after a quote by Marx, something like "religion is the opiate of the masses".
Maynard was fully channeling in that performance
this is one of the greatest live performances i've ever seen. i watch it at least once a month just to be WOWed by this vocal performance
Another legendary performance from a power standpoint is Gojira playing “Where Dragons Dwell” at Hellfest 2013. Insane.
I'm a simple woman. I see a Robert Houghton reacts to Tool, I click.
❤️❤️🙏🙏
Maynard is a unicorn in the metal world. He really is brilliant!
As someone struggling with addiction this whole song is a perfect analogy. You make promises when you're wasted and you can't keep them when you're sober
I love Tool and Maynard. I, too, am a Christian. I really, really would love to see what you guys think of A Perfect Circle's "The Doomed."
@@mattclatworthy4068 yeah it was talk talk talk. I thought The Doomed was the perfect song for a reaction since heading it.
I've been hoping for The Noose by APC.
The Package!
I am in the same boat I have been a Tool fan since undertow and I’m a Christian. Christian first I will add.
How about Judith?
I always thought the line "Jesus won't you fu*king whistle" as being a call for help. It's like asking for Jesus to let his presence be known.
The first time that is the correct line. IDK the reason it was changed for this performance.
I suspect this is because he was told "This is for MTV ... keep it clean."
It could in part be a call for help, but I think its more about "just show me that you really exist".
I always saw it was exasperation with everyone who would say that he needs help with his addiction, rather than a literal call to Jesus. "Whatever! Won't you just let it go! I'm sick of hearing it!"
@@Misrabelle I think you nailed it. Tired of broken record talking. Besides, directly addressing Jesus would be unmaynardly:-).
The guitarist explained the song in an interview a long time ago
'This was written about a guy the band knows who can only do great, inspired, stuff when he's high. The words "Jesus won't you F--king whistle, something but the past and gone" is actually referring to how this guy kept talking about the same old stuff over and over again, as in, "Christ almighty, can't we talk about something new???" '
I've read the same thing......overall MJK has alluded to he does not abide in patience the 'addict'
which guitarist? Adam Jones from tool, or from Children of the Anachronistic Dynasty - because the song predates Tool...
@@99bajakid Jones
You’re really good at analyzing lyrics!! My wife is a Christian and I’m struggling as to what I believe. I’ve been soul searching for decades. I have a hard time relating to pastors but I listen to your videos to educate myself about Christianity. I wanna get to that peaceful and calm place of faith before I die.
Yeah it's pretty hard to disregard the laws of physics which all point to no outside interference at any point in the 13.8 billion years of the universe plus we don't even know if we have free will or not because of the lag in your our brains(speed of neuron communication) . For those 2 reasons the god of the bible can not exist, but thats just me.
That's your interpretation... There's too much order for there not to be a creator, and the God of the Bible is the only one who doesn't actually contradict. Only difference is other religions are blatant contradictions, but God makes you work with Him and search his word to fully reconcile a "contradiction"..
Don't overthink it, you don't need to be religious to be happy. You can always find something that fills the void for you and make your own religion out of it! Personally I love music and I'm dedicating myself to it, as well as other forms of art. So find your passion and enjoy it as much as you can, and do everything you ever wanted to do, so you die with no regrets. And if you feel like there's nothing worth living for or empty, that's also alright. You don't need to force yourself to live like everyone else. Find your own way to enjoy the trivial things in life and live at the moment, don't overthink the future and get stressed out about it. Best wishes to you!
@@adecentdelinquent8986I spent several years actively trying to disprove Yahweh's existence, but I was still searching for truth even if it ended up being Christianity. So much from other religions borrow from Christianity, throughout history. So much of the new age stuff now uses Christian terms and a new one "Christ consciousness". If the Bible were hyperlinked to referenced verses, it'd be the most hyperlinked document in history. What does that mean and why is it important? It means that it's one coherent work, in spite of the number of authors and years from Moses to John. Nature itself does indeed testify of God, just as the Bible says. Look up examples of the fibonacci sequence in nature. As far as God's law, it was unprecedented. Look at the cultures around Israel and how they conducted themselves. A lot of these other cultures had child sacrifice.. Israel had animal.. As one example on the superiority of God's law.. Compare Freud's id and Jung's shadow to the Bible verses saying no one is free from sin. Hopefully someone else can cite the one I tried to reference and others.. There's a few. To try to tie this off. All humanity must repent, acknowledge the sin nature and turn away from it, and believe that Jesus Christ is the final sacrifice for sin that covers all sin throughout humanity because of Jesus divine nature.
Check out Kevin Zadai. He has a lot of videos on here. I had a hard time with most pastors as well. He doesn't preach religion, he preaches relationship. Good stuff!
The way Maynard was acting is he wasn't sober and showing fighting addiction and he was bent over and broken like addicts can be and he shows it and its such a powerful act showing his words are so strong.
I felt like he was more trying to personify and portray addiction itself rather than an addict, which is why he is moving in non human like way.
This song is beyond intense. When I see his performance I recall the rest of that type of journey. I appreciate seeing him fight for his life on stage while singing. I can recognise that energy.
He was playing a role. In this song he is addiction personified. The song is written from the perspective of the drug/addiction.
I have seen Tool seven times and for me every time was an absolute spiritual experience.
As an agnostic and a long time Tool fan I really appreciate your analysis, open-mindedness and opinions. Thank you.
No way! Your doing this reaction? Sober live has been known to grow channels quickly. I've seen it and this is a good day. Thanks
😎
Haha you're gonna LOVE this! Real raw emotion and energy.
I’m 10 years sober and first this channel has been so great for me I can’t thank you enough I love your videos and the breakdowns you do love it!! But this song hits hard for me as I said I’m a alcoholic in recovery and to hear you. Is say that makes me love you even more. Thank you sir!
Great video! I’ve been waiting some time for this one! So glad y’all got around to it. Thanks for continuing to help others through your work. May God continue to bless y’all! Much love!
Awesome! love TOOL, as a fellow christian (catholic btw) I am excited that you are doing this! Your analysis are always spot on, keep it up!
The part of the song that has the line, “I will elevate you,” actually works better when you look at it NOT as the user speaking but as the actual DRUG, saying that it will give you power and vision.
Yeap, spot on. The song is a back and forth conversation.
This was a great festival. Man how I miss the 90's and my youth, pastor Rob. Prayers brother, we're almost there.
Great video guys, love how you put another dimension to the songs
The RUclips channel Beth Roars is a singing teacher and she does a reaction video to this live Tool performance
So excited for this!
Thank both of you for this channel and the honest effort both of you put into it.
I personally think "i just want to start this over" refers to how when you're addicted, you want to go back to before you ever used, but at the same time you still want to use because you already entered the cycle
He is portraying an addict, Great Musical Art
Amazing reaction and discussion as always guy's. 🙂
Amon Amarth - Thousand Years Of Oppression 🤘🏻
The reasoning for Maynard's odd actions during live concerts is because he has horrible stage fright and that is how he deals with it. Sometimes he will even sing with his back to a massive crowd.
Did not know that. I struggle with stage fright myself. Maybe I should do a sermon in my PJs as well 😂😂
Regular guy that’s actually not true not hating he just never reveals why I saw old footage saying he likes to see danny drum playin and another one saying he feels the back is the best spot for a vocalists back when tool was not famous he still sang in the front but not acting odd in my eyes i believe he does it to express his music
He has no stage-fright issues, he's said it himself. Look at his performances in Puscifer and A Perfect Circle. He's said, numerous times, that he chooses to perform out of the limelight with Tool to give the other 3 members more presence on stage, and use his vocals simply as another instrument equal to Danny, Justin, and Adams' skilled musical roles. In other words, it's not about him, but the combined unit of 4 guys who know what they're doing.
This doesn't look so much like stage fright. It looks more like he is playing the part he is singing. An addict. Tortured soul. Lost. Crippled. Dying.
Just saw them live the other day. For most the performance he stood on platforms in the back turned to the side. There were a few moments I noticed him shaking. Over all though there was something something very iconic about his posture, it was almost like he was praying, but in the calling to the heaven way, not the bowing way.
Love your guys's Channel. Never been a religious man but I love how you guys are very open-minded and understanding. Keep up the good work
Someone may have covered this by now, but the song explores artists' -- painters, writers, musicians, etc. -- desire to create without chemically altering their minds coupled with an inability to do so, eventuating relapse.
In the military this was classified a “thousand mile stare”..battle fatigue, a hypnosis of a sort
Honesty is a BEAUTIFUL thing! Sharing your experiences shows your humility, truth, and strength to overcome!
Said it once before and i will say it again i love watching your videos as someone who is not a christian i love watching someone who can watch music videos like you guys do and appreciate it for the art that it is and not just dam it and say its bad and condemn it. Always like watching and hearing your takes on these songs and videos and this one for sure because to me its one of the best live performances ever maynard really kills it his posture the way he almost goes into a trance and really pours himself into the song...great job guys look forward to more videos from you guys.
Where is 46 & 2!!!! Get after that song NOW!!!!
I would love to see them react to that song
Great tune I’d like to see, but Eulogy shoulda been covered already tbh
@@spacejesus8856 agreed as well!
Its just ahead of you!
I thought they already did that one
You can always count on Maynard to look pretty strange on stage. One of the times I saw tool live his whole body was painted blue and he had on only a speedo. An eccentric guy to say the least.
My favorite video of yours by far, thank you so much!
Thank you for the encouragement. 🙏❤️
Been around since the first tool reaction. Y'all are really cool folks! Love your content💚
Awesome! Thanks for sticking with us! ❤️🙏
I always took this from the addictions perspective and not the addicts.
The song is specifically about somebody who is in a band who gets creative influence and writes his best material when drunk or high. It is the realization that I work better under the influence of mind-altering substances despite its destructiveness.
Yes !!! Thanks guys 🙏🤘🤘😎
Culling voices next ??? More Tool for sure
Huge Tool Fan here, the majority of us aren't jerks, just a little passionate. Love you guys and keep it up. Looking forward to more Tool reactions.
Out of every song I've heard, Sober is the one that convinced me to buy a bass and make music. The intensity, emotion and pure musical prowess showed in this song made my love for music grow to the point it is now
Sidenote: I'm not technically a god fearing man. I love theology and everything related to it and from what I gathered is that if God loves us he wouldn't "force" us to live by his commandments. It's encouraged and will guarantee you a place in the big beautiful place in the sky but not a necessity for living a good life. He loves you so don't be sober for him. Be sober for yourself so you can live a fulfilling life. But that's just my two cents. I love hearing y'all's thoughts and beliefs about a song I took at face value most of the time. Cheers boys!
I heard the lyric change was at the request of the concert organizes due to religious differences due to playing in a different country. If someone said that already. Credit to u.
What religion allows "Mother Mary" but no "Jesus"?:-) But seriously, the song was quite often censored when aimed for broadcasting. Imho more because the f* word.
Glad sooooo extremely hyped you guys are well and doing good
Yall have been an inspiration for me to get sober, thank yall
Amen!
When I saw Tool in Nashville a few years back Maynard stayed at the back of the stage, I could only see his shadow.
Saw them in February and it was the same way. He just stood to right of Danny most of the night.
Idk if this has been said yet, it probably has, but his stage presence in this song is a direct representation of a drug addict who is at war with themselves wishing they could just be sober.
On top of that, you are taking the double negative to literally. You have to think like an addict in this song. “Why can’t we not be sober” could translate to “why do I have to be intoxicated”, just feel the raw message of the song.
This 🔝!!!
They always have to apply some Christianity to every review
Father and son! U 2 r awesome! Rejoice my brothers God is praised for your good work!!...
Brother! and Son! Great video great discussion. Best one yet.
If someone trolls you for your opinion of TOOL, then they are not a true TOOL fan. You can say what you want to, even if you're not serious.
Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability
To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here.
Gotta divide it all right in two.
This man gets it.
I have that quote printed and hung on my office wall.
"Eulogy" by Tool. Please!
Best breakdown. Good job lads
Congrats on being sober! Praise God!!!
When are you going to cover Tool’s Eulogy? It’s honestly a crime you’ve not visited it yet.
Space Lord monster magnet is what your name reminds me of
Space lord mother mother!!
i wish i would have read the comments before i posted lol
Sidenote before you get to it, the song isn't actually about jesus, just uses a lot of references to Jesus. I can't for the life of me remember who it was actually about
@@claygentry8984 L Ron Hubbard, founder of Scientology
Maynard's actually a normal guy, but he always puts on a crazy stage performance
Congrats on your sobriety, Pastor Rob!
I was just jamming this two days ago and thought about suggesting it to y'all. I really felt this song when I was down and out the lyrics are simple but deep. Awesome pick again fellas👍
It's interesting too because I also looked at the lyrics because I was never really what he was saying in the explicit chorus.
And the lyrics in the second verse “I am just a worthless liar...etc”
Always felt he was shifting perspective from the addict to the substance itself. Giving personality and sympathy to the drug itself. As if the substance itself is saying “feel bad for me. Don’t leave me...”
💯
You guys should really listen to the more inspirational & spiritual side of Tool. Namely the entire Lateralus album, which most agree is the high point of their career.
Song 1 The Grudge - Release your grudges before they drag you down
Song 2 The Patient - Stay patient in the face of adversity
Song 3 Schism - Communication is the most important part of human relationship
Song 4 Parabola - Embrace each moment you're alive and breathing
Song 5 Lateralus - Walking the line between the divine and human aspects of our true nature
Song 6 Reflection - Let go of our ego to transcend into what is truly spiritual
I'd argue, The Patient is about Maynards mom. I might be wrong "Paranoid/Paralized vampire acts a little old", "But I am still right here..."
Posture of Maynard is part of performance. It capture drunk person. Maynard is so creative when it comes to performance on stage. I love how he embracing the role.
I just binged watch so many of your videos. I love your break downs, from Tom MacDonalds songs to the instrumentals and complexity of Tool's music. I went through a darker patch as a youth, and would love to hear a break down of some of Cradle of Filth's songs especially "Tearing the Veil from Grace" or any of their other songs based in biblical context.
Maynard has SEVERE stage freight. He has to embody a character to overcome it (hence the staring). Most of their live shows he spends behind the band. Tool uses Maynards voice as an instrument more than as a vocalist.
Your last statement is perfect. Maynard is the 4th instrument, not the singer of the band
Have you seen him in the late 90s? He definitely doesnt have stage fright...
He’s at the back of the stage purely for audio and visual reasons (all band members can see each other which is critical for timing) Nothing at all to do with stage fright
I’ve seen this tossed around but never heard Maynard actually say it
Y'all should do "The Noose" by A Perfect Circle. Great song to start a conversation over.
Great reaction video guys!!
God bless yall!!!
Fun fact: Maynard had a HUGE vineyard, he was on Joe Rogan's podcast when the new album came out and he describes himself as a "farmer" in a band, because the work of the vineyard is his passion. The story about how the band came to be is also pretty funny.
Also, it would be incredible to see you guys listen to Sleeping Giant the band, a song called Tithemi, or literally any of their songs. Phinehas is another great christian metalcore band A song called "Hell Below" would be a great place to start
Maynard, from a young age, was very aware of and had an innate ability to understand the human psyche. The lyrics coupled with this raw performance and the music is spine chilling.
I love this content, I watch this channel with my 71-year-old grandma. She's not a big fan of the music but understands the message behind some of these songs and we bond over some of your videos. I would love to see you guys do some fit for a king. For instance, there Deathgrip album. Songs like Pissed Off, Stacking Bodies and Deathgrip
That’s so cool that you watch our videos with your Grandma! Tell her that we said Hello!
We’ve meaning to do Deathgrip but haven’t gotten around to it. We did do this song in case you missed it.

Thank you for your honesty.
And Maynard himself hates his fans as well your not alone 🤣🤣🤣
Can't blame him, they're super cringy
@@adecentdelinquent8986 True. Hardcore Tool fan here and I hate the fan base.
@@namesurname7172 There's a story out there somewhere, where Maynard bought a paintball gun to shoot the crazy Tool fans who would come on to his property/house. Same, as a big Tool fan, theres a lot of superiority complex that exists within the Tool fan base.....
You guys could react to the glass prison by dream theater! That'd be epic. You could even turn it into a series and do the other 4 songs in the 12 step suite
I know a bunch of people say this, but as a non-believer, I love watching your videos. You guys have great takes and teach me things about a subject Im not an expert in. Plus you seem like such a great/fun father. Keep up the awesome work dudes!!
Thank you for the kind words. 🙏❤️
Thank you for this!
I think this song, as with most of Tool's work, has a dual meaning. One being of personal addiction but also about society's addiction to religion (opiate of the masses). He is crying out for something new and for people not to have blind faith in religious leaders that will take advantage of you. Also you can interpret the shadow at the beginning of the song as being religion. I do not totally agree with Maynard's view on religion but from what I have read on his experiences with his mother's church congregation I can understand why he thinks the way he does.
Maynard writes the most subversive lyrics ever. Props for really digging into it, bringing up the censored frase as well as the double negation, which was hauting me for some time.
46&2 is must do for you guys! Great content! Carl Jung plays a big role in Tool philosophy.
The way your son is looking at you in the beginning of the video is beautiful.
4:00 "he looks like a caveman" 😂 Pot, meet kettle
Parabol / Porabola
Please please please
God bless you Pastor Rob! I'm Catholic and we need priests like you.
I don't understand why fans would be rough on you. I really appreciate someone giving the music a chance, giving an honest diving interpretation. It's how the music is meant to be heard. Maynard has said he usually leaves lyrics vague to let the listener understand their own interpretation. I really love your videos, giving a non judgemental listen and dissection of some wonderful and genius music. And being able to appreciate it, even when you don't agree with every subject mentioned. Thanks guys. Appreciate it. You are the guys I like to sit down and have conversations with.
Recommendation: Please react to Arriving Somewhere but not Here by Porcupine Tree
I agree with you my friend.
Great song by a great band. However, I'd rather hear a reaction to "Anethetize" or "Trains". Steven Wilson is an amazing songwriter.
@@maynarddrivesfast804 absolutely! These songs are great as well.
it amazes me that a man with such horrific stagefright can go out there and perform this well in front of so many people
He emulates addiction so straight. That he even rarely blink. Maynard really taught me to this performance and songs that doing stuff regarding addiction I might look like that. And its kind a painful.
You guys are awesome.
I always thought "I will work to elevate you just enough to bring you down" was the drugs or alcohol. I'm curious why you didn't watch the actual video. Maybe the copyright thing. But in the video he keeps going back to this box. He ties it up and hides it and then goes back and gets it out and cuts the ropes off and keeps going back. You should watch the actual video. Glad you're still doing TOOL either way. God bless this ministry.
Kind of wishing I did do the original video. It makes sense that it would be the personification of the drugs or alcohol now that I think about it. Very clever.
Do the original video too...we need your take on a tool video...if you've never watched one, they're a little "uuuhhhh......strange?"😂😂😂
I have bugged him incessantly about Parabol Porabola and he has said twice now it's coming. I know it's not the same type of video as the older stuff but yet it is and it still definitely qualifies as "strange" ...lol
I would love a react to Rapture by Hurt
it KILLS me that you havent done Eulogy yet! Amazing tune, but man... I'm not even overly sensitive about song lyrics, and MAN< id LOVE to hear your analysis on that track.
Interesting reactions, your intelligent and good people for sure, i am not saying you can't make any mistakes we all do. Your sons hair looks fantastic like that haha
Maynard got the Rono and had some lung damage..hopefully it doesnt retire him from music 😐
Metallica - Bleeding me
That reaction was awesome
Fortunate enough to have been able to be graced with seeing Tool live a handful of times and always unbelievable and epic performances. This recording does no justice and Maynards commitment to his characters are always phenomenal. Ozzfest 98 was an awesome and insane Tool performance at Alpine Valley.
