danementzer Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I have been a fan since jr high and they happen to be in Vegas tomorrow and I happen to have a friend that got me tickets. I am so pumped that I just want to talk about it. Can anyone tell me about their experience at a Tool show? Will they have anything cool for sale or will Maynard sneak around the audience before the show or anything like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhulud Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Just watch and enjoy the show. Take it all in. I've seen TOOL numerous times since '95 or so and every show is a treat and experience. In recent years it has been a very sensory overload adventure. Trust me. Merch is overpriced. Especially the signed and special stuff.

paranoidantroyd Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Don't expect to see Maynard walking around before the show. Matter of fact, don't expect to see Maynard at all. He's usually slightly isolated and behind Danny Carey for the duration of the show. As Juan said, it's a treat and the visual experience is amazing. All video imagery is unique and never reused. Laser light show. 4 guys just standing up on stage playing their asses off with absolutely no showboating. All that good stuff I always found their merch prices fair. Tool tour prints are always great pieces. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuzzersonKillwell Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 They just stand there and play but usually sound great. I've found it better to sit back and watch it all rather than get real close to the stage. Have fun tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danementzer Posted March 15, 2014 Author Share Posted March 15, 2014 I noticed that Maynard stands back in the videos that I have seen. That's super interesting. He's one of the more intruiging frontmen in the music industry today. Kind of an antihero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 Sensory overload is a fair statement. I saw them at lolla so I was exhausted by the time they played. Just laid on a hill in the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santa Bateman Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I saw them a few years ago, one of my favorite bands but the setlist didnt do much for me. Kind of a disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bladewillisisdead Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 I saw A Perfect Circle once. Maynard hid behind the back drop for awhile, then sat on the edge of the stage eating a bucket of popcorn. His between song stage banter consisted of bad "Michael Jackson is a pedophile" jokes. I almost saw Tool back around the time 10,000 days came out but I hate arenas and am poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamover Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 i've never seen tool, but i'd expect to see a lot of people dressed like seann hunter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morfiend Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 They sound really good live but I wish Maynard would move around more on stage instead of being so stationary. The merch prices are definitely ludicrous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drds89 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Maynard will flip you off when he leaves the stage (don't take it personally though - it's April Fool's every day for him) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benchwarmer Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 I saw them in 1997, Maynard was crawling around on stage wearing a braw and a pony tail. It was wild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topher Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Lots and lots of "enlightened" people. Those quotation marks should be several stories high. Anyway, Tool rules. How was it? mindless 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
