It's such a catchy little tune that my friends yell at me now if I play it because randomly they'll just start singing aboutboners for the next three days. And I believe the final song was identified already as Funeropolis by Electric Wizard, from Dopethrone.

Word is we're getting a new Tool album this year. 8 years it's been, and I literally got into them right as they were wrapping up the '06 tour. Missed getting tickets to the mini-tour a couple years back (there was a show right by me) because tickets went on sale and sold out during my shift at work.

Tool shows sell out nearly instantly. My GM and I were discussing Tool the other day. When he learned that I've never seen them live, he told me next time they come through, I AM going. No questions about getting a day off or anything, just tell him I need the day off to get some Tool.

I'd love another Tool album like aenima or lateralus, MJK has said that his singing voice has changed so much he couldn't sign like he does on his early stuff, though

In 1998ish I transferred to a different college and started classes for my new major. Sitting next to me in the main intro class was some guy and I was sitting there listening to tapes on my walkman and I just happened to be listening to Tool. He asked me what I was listening to so I let him listen for a while and he was like "oh I've never heard this wow". Now he's a huge Tool fan (way more than me), like, it's almost all he listens to and he's been to see them more than a dozen times. Also he knits. So he goes to Tool concerts and sits there knitting stuff while he listens to the music. I went with him once when Tool played at the Oakland Colosseum. Also that guy got me in the door at my current job that I've had for 9 years, even though I didn't have as many years of experience as they were asking for. That's my random story about Tool.

Huh! Would have been, hmm, maybe mid-2000s? I don't remember the exact year but it was a while ago. My wife and I met up with him and we had seats, and we were also kind of late because of traffic, but it was a good show.

MJK did a wine signing in... 2008? or so at the Whole Foods I worked at. Didn't get to meet him since I worked that day. I did get a signed bottle, at least. I have some stories about rear end in a top hat customers that day though. Turns out when you close off the least-used entry to the store, it suddenly becomes the most important one, and suddenly super vital to anyone handicapped (despite it being nowhere near handicapped parking).

I saw Tool when they did Lollapalooza in '97 or '98. Bassist was blue from head to toe, guitarist was green, MJK was dressed full Blond Ambition Madonna down to the big ponytail wig and cone bra. Maybe because it was Lollapalooza and not a standalone show, the Tool fans were a lot more normal than NIN fans.

Does your car work with those magnetic sensors under the pavement? Just curious how many times you've had to do 2-3 right turns to get past a light.

Puscifer was my favorite concert of the three bands. When I went to see APC, The Mars Volta was opening for them but security was a lovely single file line so even though I got to the venue more than an hour before the show started, I didn't get in until Mars Volta was done. Also 13in, that video makes me want to be your passenger.

The Midniter posted:Your GM is right - it's a necessary experience. Absolutely right. My roommate had different people flake on him on multiple occasions, which is why I don't buy other people concert tickets in advance. It just happened that 4 concerts over the years were Tool. When people flaked on him, I'd buy an extra ticket to the show du jour since he was a concert person. The worst concert I went to with him was Killswitch Engage. It was a last minute small club thing apparently except they brought large concert speakers into a small club, I couldn't hear for 3 days after only being in there for 15 minutes. Even outside where it was "listenable" everything was distorted. Though that's the only time I've seen them so I don't have any other venues to compare their sound to.

I saw Killswitch a few years back. Pretty awesome show.  They opened for Static-X though - at least when Killswitch was on stage, there was just barely enough open space for people to move around (and mosh, and crowd surf). Once SX came up, the place was packed so tight that I couldn't even scratch my balls. This was at House of Blues Dallas though, which really doesn't have a ton of open floor. Been to a few other shows there since then, it's a great venue.

Always, always, always wear earplugs at concerts. I didn't use to bother with them, and after numerous loud concerts, listening to loud music on earphones, track construction and watching motor races, I now have tinnitus, a measurable hearing loss at 4kHz on both ears and a slightly bigger high-frequency hearing loss on my left ear. And I'm only 28. Wear those drat plugs.

Agreed about the ear plugs. I was in marching band for 9 years (4 in high school, 5 in college) and I have permanently damaged hearing as well. I didn't learn my lesson until my 3rd year in college, but the damage was already done. You would be amazed at how little it takes to exceed the PELs (permissible exposure limits) for noise. You learn a lot when you work in environmental, health, and safety. Nowadays, I wear earplugs when I'm doing pretty much anything remotely loud.

Gonna also vouch for earplugs - according to my doctor I have the hearing of a 70 year old man and I'm only 26. Tool is absolutely one of the best concerts, saw then in Rhode Island at the Dunkin' Donuts center for Lateralus, which MJK kept incessantly making fun of, mentioning donuts specials etc. Then I saw them in my hometown in Albany NY for the 10,000 days tour. I really need to get out and see Puscifer. Maynard was on the Joe Rogan podcast the other day and was talking all about Puscifer concerts and they sound cool as hell.

I always used to hate wearing earplugs because they filter out the high end while not filtering the bass, so you get a really distorted sound through them. But a few years back I went to a music store and paid like $15 for some acoustically-even earplugs that basically reduce decibels more evenly across the whole audible spectrum. I loved those things (lost them at a concert not too long ago, need to replace them) and I strongly recommend them to anyone who normally doesn't wear earplugs to concerts because they make the music sound like poo poo.

Ask for musicians earplugs. Most places will know what your talking about....well at least in Nashville they do. Those things are great though. I have a poo poo ton of hearing loss and a bad case of tinnitus so I really can't go to concerts without them. I still don't use them when I see Springsteen though. Some things are worth the pain/suffering.

I saw a Maserati Biturbo 228 today at the junkyard, no more than 3 cars away was a TR6. I considered convincing you to buy the Maserati but it looked comfortable where it was. It was snowing like the end of the world though so I got the parts I needed and got the hell out.

I saw an actual, running biturbo yesterday on the motorway. Being driven, not towed. I guess 13" has a kindred spirit in the southern hemisphere.

Of all the things LHD Fieros have been turned into, are you really discounting someone turning one into a RHD Fiero?
