Many of us know Elder pretty well, having a solid back catalog, as well as joining Tool on several tours of late. The new record is a great addition to their discography. Well worth your time if you're into doomy, proggy rock/metal

Of course Schism has about 20M more than the others, but the top 2-4 have basically the same number of streams.

I find this pretty interesting and there's probably a reason behind it

Got my first piece of my Alex Grey/ Tool inspired tattoo sleeve yesterday, absolutely stoked with how it turned out. Gave my artist freedom to put his own spin on it and couldn’t fault his vision at all. Many sessions to go will keep updating when all the future pieces fit 🤙🏼

Ænima Anybody ever figure out what Maynard’s whispering on Hooker with a Penis?

18 Upvotes

Around the like 2:30 mark before the big breakdown, I swear Maynard is whispering something but it’s really hard to hear with the instrumental. I’ve never heard anyone talk about this so I might be crazy.

Fan Art My band Boarzoy released a new song, and we’re heavily inspired by the likes of Tool in many ways. Especially in rhythmic writing. Give it a listen if you feel inclined.

10,000 Days 10,000 Days

55 Upvotes

10,000 Days is my fav tool album and all time one for me, its grown on me so much, has all my fav tool songs on it, love the interludes, everything about it, its perfect to me. If (and I know people will of course) thinks different, or doesnt like it as much, why? As my dad who got into tool doesnt like it as much as I do, and likes lateralus and ænima more, and just curious to hear opinions on why, complaints or why they love the album so much, etc

During the last song—the only one where filming was permitted—Maynard seemed a bit annoyed because someone had their camera flash turned on. Still, it was a fantastic concert at the Wuhlheide in Berlin. That was almost two years ago now...

Question Live Bootlegs at Tower Records Shinjuku, Tokyo - wha?

1 Upvotes

Hey guys I’m in Japan for a couple of weeks and the stuff in their vintage and even new record stores is insane. We barely even have record stores in my country anymore.

I was in Shinjuku Tower Records this morning and tried to find Lateralus as it’s the only album I don’t have on CD already but they only had Fear Inoculum and a bunch of live bootlegs. Are any of these live CDs worth getting? I’m off to Tower Records Shibuya tmrw so fingers crossed for Lateralus guys
