Do yourself a favour - buy/stream/download 'Lateralus' by his band Tool. 

 

 

Mmmmmmm. Tool.

Okey dokey

Oh my goodness. Watched the live version from 2014, all 13.47 minutes of it.

First impressions, great filthy bass sound, guitarist in a prog band who was actually quite understated and didn't just noodle at speed for ten minutes, singer who stood in shadow at the back - just brilliant to see that - and what a drummer!

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why we love Tool.

Who take 13 years to put out an album that sounds like out takes from the previous two…

But is still fabulous

Never heard them before but been watching a drum cam video from a live show. The guy is out of this world.

You might know Danny Carey (drummer) and Maynard (vocals in Tool, guitarist in GJ) from this:

Adam Jones also makes their videos. The earlier stop motion ones were amazing.

...which still sound better than 99% of what else was released in that year.

You probably watched this one, which is amazing indeed:

However, he also sounds great with a, let's say, less impressive drum kit 😉

Yep: watch a video where he plays Lateralus in the studio. There’s one that lets you see his hands and feet in separate times: one-man polyrhythm machine.

How refreshing to see a video focussed on the bass and drums.

The Pneuma drum video? That is a good one.

 i love that video, he is putting as much effort into doing that with the kids than he is live, and he is having a great time. Its true to say that none of my youth bands had a drummer like that to play with!

It would be very easy to try that and fail. This did not fail. Love it

Mmmmmmm. Tool.

Also taking this advice having never got hold of anything by Tool before. Listening to first album track. First things that hit me.... how "natural" the vocal is, for want of a better word. It's imperfect but not tuneless, it just has character that fits perfectly. Then, something I don't think I've ever said before.... The mix! There's space to let each instrument breathe. There's no washy synth filling sonic gaps, but the gaps are part of the whole thing. I'm enjoying this. I also like the Mars Volta and Karnivool but am not a "fan" as such, I just have one album of each that I really like. I think Tool needs much further exploration from me. How has this taken me so long?!
