2019 Tool

тул ето тул
Мне после этого видео стало стыдно за все свое музицирование. Да и вообще, наверное, за все, чем я занимался в жизни.

Tool – 3/4/2014 Spokane Arena – Spokane, Washington

Tool is another in a (too long of) line of great “1990’s bands” that I have wanted to see but never got the opportunity, for one reason or another. I have been getting many of these types of bands off my bucket list the last few years, Soundgarden, Rancid, Mudhoney, etc. But Tool was one that hadn’t really crossed my mind as a possibility for some reason. Needless to say, once I saw that Tool had announced some random new tour dates with the first show being in Spokane, an hour from home, I had to go. It’s not very often that a band of this stature hits Eastern Washington, much less as a tour opener.

Being most familiar with Undertow and Ænima, I was hoping to hear a bunch of Tools older songs that I knew plus some other gems that I might not have known much about. To that end, the band did not disappoint. We got two “sets”, although they were pretty darn short. I am not sure the point of the twelve minute intermission 6 songs into the show, but who am I to complain?

VIP experience / march 4th Spokane Arena, US

After getting our VIP lanyards and some sexy red wristbands, we were ushered to a conference room, aptly called “The Champions Room.” We took our seats and spent some time talking among ourselves. I have to say that it impresses me how quickly die-hard Tool fans start talking like old friends. The excitement was on everyone’s faces and there was no way we could contain ourselves, even if it meant preaching to the choir.

Adam shows up, shyly peaking around the corner at us. His first act of the afternoon was to let us know how nervous he was. This was a great insight into how down to Earth he is. It is easy to forget that these rock gods are mortal men like you and I, but his honesty and friendliness were apparent from the start. Everything from this point will be paraphrased (as far as insights, questions and answers) since I’m not a fucking stenographer and couldn’t record it. The no camera thing is quite serious. Be sure to only bring your camera phone and take pictures only when they say it is okay. Not saying you can’t sneak a few covert shots (I know many did) but who knows when they would draw the line.

He started off giving us some insight into how some of the songs are written. Everyone brings their riffs into the loft, throws them around and then start plugging them together, experimenting with what sounds right. Things that sound shitty can end up sounding great, which gives everyone else ammunition for when their stuff gets rejected right out. It was fun listening to Adam talk about this creative process as being very organic and collaborative, a marriage of 4 very different egos, trying to make something new. During this discussion we got to hear Adam jam to Jambi with a click-track he had on his Iphone (the highlight of this bit, besides the intimate shredding of the guitar we were treated to, is when… I think… the phone fell off the chair and unplugged, mid song. Funny and jarring moment). He followed up with a quick clinic on the different rhythms they use; overlaying dissonant beats that meet up at the right moment to punch you in the nuts. Little bits of Lateralus and Pushit were used as an example of this theory. All I can say is “Pass the God damn butter.”

The Q&A started after that. Adam was far better at this portion than I think he thought he would be. Very natural and relaxed. He made sure we knew we could ask about anything even when the next album is coming out, though nobody tried to pry into that one after he assured us that they ARE in fact working diligently. There were some great questions from the group, which was fun. Nobody asking what his favorite brand of peanut butter was. I’ll give a couple of examples… again, highly paraphrased (if you were there and can remember more, please post them in the comments!):
Q: What do you think about when you are playing?
A: My laundry. No, seriously. My mind will wander and I’ll suddenly jump back in and remember where I’m at. Don’t get me wrong, I take it seriously and I’m playing with heart, but it happens.
Q: What kind of amps and pickups do you use to get your great sound?
A: It is more about heart and attitude than what you are using. I think I’m mediocre (uh huh) but the attitude and the sound that I bring make it sound better.
Q: Do certain songs represent certain members of the band more than others?
A: Obviously Maynard is responsible for the lyrics and what you hear there. The whole songs are very collaborative and are a result of everyone pitching ideas. Sometimes song titles can be a specific suggestion from someone. (Adam then talked about suggesting the name Prison Sex for that song, which Maynard thought was great).
Q: You recently became a father, and mentioned in a past interview how your songs come from one idea or theme, and then are nurtured to become something else. What effect, if any, or what idea or wisdom do you hope your music can pass on to your kids?
A: I really don’t want to be that guy, but I think about my son all the time. I find myself playing or practicing and suddenly realize I am thinking about my son. I don’t know how it would affect the music specifically, only that I believe it can only make it better.
I could do more, but this is going to be a long post already… or IS, already...

So, after Q&A we get to line up and get an autograph, an exclusive VIP poster, and a picture with Adam. The Q&A lasted longer than they expected (Adam having more fun than he planned, maybe?) so we only got one item autographed. Posters, baby onesies, vinyls, and even a couple skulls were all signed. It was great watching him interact with his very excited fans. He had a smile on his face the whole time and made sure whoever he was talking to, got his undivided attention.

When that was finished up and Adam had departed (seriously, I could keep talking about how cool this was, but you wouldn’t believe me and I can’t do it justice) and we were waiting to depart for sound check, we got our gift bags: an exclusive VIP shirt, sticker, and tote bag. As I mentioned before, they felt bad about the delayed start, so added some things: a keychain, a beanie, and an iphone case. Scored big time! If this is how it’s going to be, I hope your VIP experience is delayed as well.

Taken to sound check. We could hear Danny pounding away while we walked outside and in through the main entrance. Got to hear Hooker and Pushit, with a short Schism jam. And some new riffs. Holy hell… if this is the base for what we have to look forward to? It was almost ethereal in sound. Don’t know how to describe it adequately. I am truly sorry that I can’t give you a better idea of what it was like. Anyway… Maynard wasn’t there. Adam told us that his throat was fucked and he wanted to save it for the show tonight. Fine by me, saving it for the real deal. It didn’t take away from the experience. Justin’s trimmed beard, gentlemanly hairdo, and specs did him right, and was disarming when coupled with this bounding bass rhythms.
Back to the CHAMPIONS ROOM to gaze at some video props. The life-size model of the Schism dude was there, as well as one of the bloated corporate – suit wearing fat cats from Parabol. Juan (our guide and band attaché for the day) was security for these props. It was great fun watching him cringe when people got too close. All in good fun though. He was awesome. Thanks for the good times, Juan!

TOOL опубликовали сообщение, разъясняющее, что недопонимание слов гитариста поклонниками привели к утверждению, что новый альбом коллектива уже готов.

"Недавно Adam Jones в личной беседе с поклонниками в ходе концерта TOOL в Портленде не только пошутил, что альбом уже готов, но и выйдет на следующий день. Увы, его импровизацию вырвали из контекста. Работа над новым альбомом все еще продолжается и как только все будет сделано, поверьте мне, вы будете первыми, кто об этом узнает!"

============

видео выше, кстати, это никакая не новая песня, а всего лишь очередное интро к Schism, которое они играют в ходе этого тура, в прошлом году было другое, и, замечу, намного интереснее:

а то, что выше - звучит как вариация на тему wings for marie, в общем - ничего особо интересного (для меня лично)

Вот это круче:

This little gem was found in a bathroom at Toyota Centre Houston at the Tool concert.

The ‘Y’ Incision’, part of the Cal McDonald series, is experimenting with an audio accompaniment to enhance the reading experience. Jones will be composing and producing, whilst it’s up to Buzzo to perform the musical segments. Bloody Pulp Books are publishing the effort.

Поискал в теме dmt\дмт и не нашел!
Так что справедливости ради: DMT :hare:
 
Как-то крайне плотно вишу последнюю неделю на сабже, и столько мыслей в связи с этим возникает.

Как два года назад проникся Андертоу, так теперь вот максимально выкупил Аэниму. Я открыл ее заново для себя благодаря финальному эпику, до которого в свое время даже не дослушивал, на "Pushit" залипал) Понятно, что у них все альбомы крутые, и слушаю я их уже 13 лет, больше только Нирвану слушаю, но вот недавно понял, что Аэнима - пик "роковой" формы сабжа. Латералус уже более прогово-утонченно-совершенен, а 10ТыщДней, за исключением титульного трека, уж извините, кажется каким-то необязательным альбомом вообще. И да, новый альбом сабжа не жду и не хочу :smile:

И тем не менее, идеальным туловским треком считаю "The Grudge". Есть песни доступнее, есть хитовее, но именно в этих восьми минутах есть всё, чем может похвастаться калифорнийский квартет :pray:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sni0JoGxV_U

Педики они, конечно, что не играют бОльшую часть лучших треков, но я все равно их люблю)
 
Nico, я думал о твоей любви к Райт Ин Ту, когда писал эту строчку :smile:
 
Вчера с Тимофеем об этом говорили как раз. По мнению рок-фанатов, музыкант постоянно чего-то должен. Выдавать откровения, выворачиваться наизнанку, не скатываться, быть в рамках, выходить за рамки. Не знаю, чего музыканты Тул должны лично тебе, но я больше сам чувствую себя обязанным, чем наоборот. Какой альбом там лучше и какой обязателен, это уже мыслеебство, Тул я такими категориями мерять не хочу.

Краща їхня композиція. Якщо в цілому Тул просто хороша група, то "Third Eye" - це щось близьке до геніального.
 
мои любимые треки Tool - disposition, intension
вкус такой так сказать

Дико плюсую. Мені іноді після цеї пісні навіть можна більше нічого в них і не слухати.
 
я один в последнее время слушаю только ранние демки? лайвы cold and ugly и crawl away волочат так нормально)

Игорь, за такие слова тебя четвертовать надо)

для меня джамби и сейчас остаётся одной из самых любимых песен тул, да и вообще я считаю 10тыщ сильнейшим релизом, охуенность которого сразу не открывается (в отличие от латералуса например, в который сразу влюбляешься)

ну а вообще да - каждый альбом по-своему потрясающ, поэтому не думаю, что стоит вот так вот разбрасываться словами в отношении Богов, Игорь)
 
не знаю, было ли, поэтому просто оставлю это здесь)

для меня очень годный альбом, на нем два моихпочтисамыхлюбимыхтрека, Vicarious и Right in Two, ну и Jambi там все дела.
 
Приснился кошмар, что проебал концерт Tool у себя в городе. Что за хуйня мне сниться. :crying:

не, это не новый трек, насколько я знаю. Просто Tool немного по-разному исполняют интерлюдии между композициями. Вроде как Адам придумывает что-то новенькое к каждому туру.
