I'm a simple man, my vote was sold to Busty for welcoming me as a new resident and the prospect of a tiddy thread.

The DC snare was discontinued by Sonor after a few years, while other signature snares from the same era are still around. So it probably wasn't a big seller - but it seems to be collector's item, since it very rarely shows up on ebay, and last time I've seen it the asking price was more than twice ...

"tone is in the fingers" - absolutely. The player is always the most important factor.

I never played a signature model and always imagined it would sound exactly like whoever it's modelled on, so that must be a gimmick type thing? I know you could say the same about a strat etc but you can tweak the sound and if your gonna do that on a signature model then why get it in the first pl...

I'm really not too keen on the golden lettering. Seems kind of cheesy to me, like a 90s video game package design.

I like imagining them scrambling for a last minute album name change, because Chod (or Chöd... Chød...) is way better than whatever they had before. I want to believe.

https://loudwire.com/metallica-rep-live-nation-scam/ "The deal gave 40 percent of the resale revenue to Metallica, 40 percent to Live Nation, 12 percent to DiCioccio and 8 percent to Millette. A separate source claimed Live Nation’s share was lower." Nice. The cynical part of me is suspect...

This is a fascinating topic for me. Any opinions? Please provide some examples. Iron Maiden is probably the only band that I actively wanted to like (or at least "get") and couldn't for quite a while. This was in the early 90s. I could not stand Bruces voice, the overly dramatic vibrato, ...

Damn good stuff.

They have written plenty of extensive song sections that don't include any or just a touch of vocals. Basically any long track since maybe Flood has at at some point a very "unrestrained instrumental" vibe going on. I don't think they miss "not having the constraint to write songs wit...

The Lateralus era setlists were great! I'm fine with the band playing every new song of course, including the "Danny listening to call-in radio shows" or "Maynard squeezing his cat"-bits. It's just the in sequence-thing that generally bums me out.

Please no "playing the whole album in sequence"-tour. That's 80-90 minutes of knowing what will happen next and very little surprises. I've found myself bored after a while during every "full album"-show I've been to, regardless of the band (and in some cases I thought the band s...

"Steeds weer passeerde het ‘WoW-gevoel’ als de bassist een immens vette baslijn invoegde of de gitarist zijn gitaar liet gieren als was het de vrouw van zijn leven." -> "Often the "WoW feeling" happened when the bass player inserted an immensely fat bass line or the guitar p...

Not "harder" of course, but more often (e.g. if only one 10-15 minute song fits on a side) - pulling me out of the flow of the album each time. To me Tool are a CD age band - they structure their albums with a 80 minute timeframe, long songs and no "breaks for format" in mind. Wo...

Unpopular (?) opinion: To me Tool isn't exactly "vinyl music". While the records certainly sound great and are nice to have and look at, I find the distribution of fewer but longer tracks over more vinyl sides makes it a hassle to listen and change the record every 10-15 minutes. Regardles...

Ah, gongs. I should put it on my bucket list to play - or even be near - one of these 80" Paiste monsters.



And for around $28,000 they are a bargain, really.

I have completely forgotten the Lateralus logo.

Given the previous evolution, the next one might just be some nested circles.
... They are going from dick logo to boob logo, aren't they?

$10 for the first journalist who asks Maynard about this on camera.

The company providing the Rock am Ring streams (MagentaMusik 360) has clarified on its FB page - no Tool stream.

While I don't believe Tool will actually be livestreamed, this site claims that there will be on for their next show at the Rock Am Ring festival: http://www.general-anzeiger-bonn.de/region/ahr-und-rhein/mehr-ahr-und-rhein/Hier-k%C3%B6nnen-Sie-Rock-am-Ring-im-Livestream-sehen-article3571127.html No...

You can watch at 2:00. There are subdivision hits laced throughout the groove that sound higher pitched than the bass drum. I guess he could be playing some melody on the bass drums, but it really doesn't sound like it. Edit: Around three minutes is a good spot because the video focuses on him. The...

Can anyone tell what is going on with Danny's part during the verses? He's clearly keeping time in 3/4 on the wavedrum with his right hand, snare on 7 in the song's 7/8, with some bass drums around, but in between these things you hear percussion that sounds like it would be pad samples, but his ha...

I don't mind the singles heavy setlist for Europe. They haven't been here since 2007 and these are the first shows ever for a considerable part of the audience. And I got to check off four songs of my "to hear live" list, including 25 minutes of new music. Complaining about that would seem...
