and puscifer will never amount to APC.

Anyone going to see Tool this summer? I'm going to the show at Molson Ampitheatre, can't wait.

I wholey agree... I myself play the bass...trying to keep up with some of his rifs are impossible...His techniques are different from other bassists in regard to note progression and some slapping aspects. I think of all the bassists that I have forced myself to learn about, he is the bloody best.

Agreed. I took a listen on the day it came out. I seriously don't see what the fuss is all about. Where've you been, Shawn?

And Antonio, I have albums and I can share them with you. Will you show me how? I have Opiate, Undertow, AEnima, Lateralus, and 10,000 Days. Take your pick. Also, what did you think of Lateralus after a full listen?

Hooked you up with some samps from each album you haven't heard:

Opiate (1992):

Undertow (1993):

AENIMA (1996):

10,000 Days (2006):

I wish! If they ever came to Australia again I'd see them in a heartbeat. I'm so jealous of anyone who gets to see them live, grr.

And Puscifer of course will never live up to APC. It's a completely different thing, more of an experimental project Maynard started not knowing where it would head. I don't really like it though... I wish he'd just put all of his energy into Tool!

Maybe if tickets weren't over $100 a piece. I saw them 7 years ago for $50. What happened between then and now? Danny Carey already has a ****in' Lambourgini! What the **** does he need my $100 for?

I'm going to see them this summer - don't care how far I have to drive or how much i have to pay for a ticket. Come Hell, high-water, space aliens, or flying stealth bananas, I'm still going to see them damnit!

I just hope they're coming over to Europe soon. Can't wait to see them over here. I was hoping they may play some festivals here but I guess that's gonna happen.

How else can he afford another solid gold Humvee and a diamond studded swimming pool. Those things don’t grow on trees.

Maynard's a ****ing pimp.
