There's some pretty angry songs on Money Shot.

I don't think it's a question of what goes into the writing of new material. I think it's simply how he approaches the live environment these days. He has expressly stated that he doesn't have much interest in putting himself "in that space" these days when singing some of those songs. And I can absolutely respect that. The power in those songs is palpable because it undoubtedly came from very real things in his life, and I can't imagine opening that wound night after night to do it "properly."_peterpwn wrote:the question is, does he need any more purification with powerful emotional tracks, and powerful words? it seems like he is in peace with life now, maybe the other members, fans, his family, politics and grapes can make him angry for a short period of time, but I dont think he has gone thru any kind of stuff that would make him to write powerful words, like Pushit, Schism, Wings etc
yeah and maynard has said multiple times that he wrote those songs as a way to help him get through things. So if it works and gets him past it then there is no need to sing those anymore; but if he is still singing them then all that screaming was for nothing.joeypants wrote:

The Rapid City 2002 bootleg is arguably the best quality audio I've heard, next to maybe the Michigan '98 one. Those are the two pinnacles, I think. Also there's a San Francisco source from 2010 that's pretty amazing for an audience boot.xZ1mM3r wrote:what is everyones favorite live tool concert. just for best audio quality, not necessarily for video.
Thanks man, Ill check those out. Im trying to find a great audio quality mixed with a great setlist to download and have just for listening. Little overwhelming when there is about 300 shows on youtube from Tool. Cant listen to em all...joeypants wrote:The Rapid City 2002 bootleg is arguably the best quality audio I've heard, next to maybe the Michigan '98 one. Those are the two pinnacles, I think.

The first two I mentioned are soundboard and/or IEM+matrix quality. Really nice. Also there are some good versions of the Denver 2002 show out there of a similar quality. Amazing setlists on all of those shows too.xZ1mM3r wrote:Thanks man, Ill check those out. Im trying to find a great audio quality mixed with a great setlist to download and have just for listening.

San Francisco 2010 immediately comes to mind. It's my go-to show when I'm working at the computer. Also, Paris 2006 is great.xZ1mM3r wrote:what is everyones favorite live tool concert. just for best audio quality, not necessarily for video.
