Re: Best concert you have ever seen..............................................

Tool's music always sounds amazing life but sometimes Maynard can be a complete prick on stage and then you get a bad vibe from that. I went to one tool show and he only came out on stage for 1 song, the rest he sang standing behind Danny Carey. I would have kicked that short bastard's ass after that show if I would have got the chance and I have tattoos of their songs on my body I'm such a fan.

maynard doesn't do that to be a dick. he thinks their music should be about their music, not the personalities singing/playing it.

would you prfer him to run and jump around on stage like fred durst?

plus, the man is a total introvert.

Dude I have Tool tattoos on my arms, I know a lot about the band. I understand why he says he does it, I just don't agree with it. If you are going to stand on a stage and play for someone while taking their money then you are a performer. That is what a performer does. I am ridiculing the way he is performing. That is total BULLSHIT about how his music means something to him and he feels more comfortable presenting it from the 'shadows'. Why not just sing from backstage, or another location and forget the concert at all. If you are going to take my 65 buck to perform then stand on stage like a fucking monkey and do some tricks.


This thread is about best concerts not best music. I love the shit out of Tool(though the entire shift in philosophy on the last album lyrically is not in line with why I began liking them, though the sound is still there). On a good show there are few better but the new attitude is sketchy at best.

No but there is a thing called stage presence. He wasn't beyond putting on a dress and coming out to sing Stinkfist was he? He understands what he is doing, it is just one more way he has to communicate with us and I don't agree it makes for the best concert.

BTW if you can't tell I'm overly passionate about this you should have been there when I walked out of that show. The sound was amazing, the production was OK and Maynard was a complete asshole. When you are a dedicated folllowing fan and you get that then you usually aren't happy.

Summer Sanitarium tour with Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit and Metallica after Hetfield got out of rehab. I was 10 feet from the stage in the pit. Linkin Park blew the roof off the place and made Fred Durst look like a fag.

Rage in 1997 was amazing since the whole building rushed the floor before the show started and had a riot during the concert.

I've seen over 30 shows and am a huge Rush fan, so I want to say Rush, but the two best shows I've ever seen were Ac/DC and The Kinks.
Oh and a small show with a Canadian band called The Tragically Hip. I never had so much fun at one show.
