He probably had a bad trip at one of his shows. He definitely didn't have stage fright (not freight, lol) the times I saw them. Dude's always been a cyco though.

Maybe you just need to hear the words come out of his mouth. He has admitted to having anxiety issues.

Possibly... but sometimes I think that's all bullshit or he wouldn't act how he used to... like all the strange characteristics and actions... it's all on purpose.. and all a show... now established all the sudden... can't be seen? I call bullshit... it's maynards way of doing what he wants as usual lol... I love the guy... he's very interesting and intelligent as well.. as are the rest of the band also... 4 people creating all that... incredible!! Anyone ever even contemplate a polyrythym? Just give it a shot ... see how your mind breaks apart ... shits difficult for a reason.. I. Just can't get over the creativity of unique timings.. and just how special that all is in itself is unspeakable... they just keep writing killer shit and never really fading or slacking... who cares if maynard wants to do it via live friggin chat lol... it would still outperform and upstage all others currently and most others previously... the mainstream makes me sick... look at it... what it's becoming... sad. Headed in an even more untalented pathetic direction... it'll be the new 80s in the future... the trash people are producing now... will be our future disco. So I cling to good shit like TOOL and bands like them only because nowadays... music absolutely is like a mcchicken

Not a fan of Tool but I’ve been a fan of Alex Grey for what seems like 20 years

definitely love alex as much as tool

I had just moved to Florida back in '91 and found a job down in Plantation as an alarm tech. There was a high school there that played heavy rock on the afternoon radio and I always made sure to tune in while on the job and on the way home.

So, on the way home one day, they played Prison Sex from the newest Tool cd. I was like WTF are these guys?!??! I called the high school when I got home and asked if I could find out what song that was. I never looked back once I found out.

Ran to a cd store that night and got the new Undertow cd and the first cd they had out as well with Hush on it. Was addicted soon after. Never looked back. The only time they ever let me down was the last cd. Played it once.........tried to play it twice.................never played it again.

Life goes on

Saw tool last night and they are still just so fucking good it’s amazing.

What was their setlist?
