...with Tool
Yesterday evening, I attended a gig which will stay with me for the rest of my life.
Tool have been a favourite band of mine for a few years now, and I've been waiting 3 years to see them in the live environment. I already knew it was going to be a superb gig, but quite honestly, I don't think anything could have prepared me for what was to come from this quartet.
After support band, Cortizone, had finished their VERY Undertow-inspired set, the cover was drawn from Tool drummer, Danny Carey's drum-kit which drew a big cheer from the crowd, now, you may be asking, it's just a drum-kit. Trust me, if you'd seen it, then you'd realise why - being a drummer myself, I had to pick my jaw up off of the floor, when I saw this drum-kit unveiled.
After numerous Python sketches, Drum N' Bass tunes and a Bill Hicks skit, the lights went down, a huge roar went up and the intro played with various parts of the Lataralus album cover displayed on the video-screen behind the band. A minute later the band kicked into 'The Grudge' which sounded BIG. During each song, videos designed by Tool guitarist, Adam Jones, adorned the screens making the experience ever more, intense and beautiful. Certain parts of the videos looked like they were encapsulating singer Maynard James Keenan.
This was a gig where you could close your eyes, and Tool would take you on a trip you would never forget, and when you'd open your eyes, you couldn't help but being mesmorised by the videos accompanying each song - it truly was a carthatic, intense and beautiful experience, one I will never forget.

It does, I found some of the imagery quite striking, especially the er, 'friendly' women underwater bit. Lest we forget the eye being operated on during 'Sober'.

I went but had to leave early.
Ate some...er...things before hand and made the experience just a little too intense for me.
I did fine until the colours swept through me and made my ribcage inflate.
Does that make sense?
No
But neither does Tool.
A perfect, perfect band.
