Seeing a live TOOL show is pretty awesome. I've always loved their music, but my main attraction to them had nothing to do with Maynard, who is a great singer and fits perfectly in the toolbox.
Adam Jones is the mastermind behind tool. His melodies on guitar and his visual artwork is an ageless inspiration to me.
TOOL never gets old to me.
Although I could never say that TOOL is the best I've ever heard, musically... I CAN say that I identify with them on a level I could never reach with any other band.
That personal identification is what makes TOOL a great band for me.
And I don't think it should be any other way.
