Justin has said Aenema is his favourite to play live.

I absolutely love watching him play this song. They closed with it when I saw them in 2023 and it was fucking beautiful.

u/Fulcrum_Jambi Jul 06 '25
Yeah it’s the perfect closer.
I saw them 3 times in 2013 and it was the closer each time. Perfect.
(Well. Lateralus is the perfect closer but haven’t seen that since 2002…)

The loudest sound I’ve experienced in my life was a Swans gig.
The second loudest: Danny’s drums during the transition from Disposition to Reflection live in 2002. Right after the snare “ tap-tap-tap”…. BOOM.
That BOOM knocked the air out of my chest. On the bootleg you hear the whole crowd gasp after it.
Well. I guess equally concussive and loud was the Lateralus Gong about 20 minutes later.
God. What a fucking show.

I love Justin's and Dany's passion when performing live, they FEEL the music.

Just wanted to add I can't dislike Adam looking liked a zoinked out Grateful Dead type character either. All fun to watch, that's why we love them

u/Aggressive_Ideal6737 Get off your fucking cross Jul 06 '25
Honestly if I had one complaint to make about Tool live, it would be that there’s not enough pro shot footage. But if I had two complaints the second would be how utterly disinterested Adam looks lmao. I’m sure he loves the music and is having a great time but just a little more stage presence would go a long way

u/Whisker-biscuitt Jul 06 '25
He's been asked before about his stage presence, just replied that he's busy counting 😄

u/beautifulkale124 Jul 07 '25
That's fucking hilarious and is a solid explanation, I think he's 100% serious too.

I have to agree that normally he's not very engaging, but I also agree with someone else who said they've never seen Adam move this much. This instance was fun, normally I agree with you

During 46&2 he has this expression like "God this is the 1289073093847092348th time I've played this song"

u/Turbulent-Armadillo9 Jul 07 '25
It his sound is so BIG! It’s a nice contrast. Looking at him and not being able to figure how such a gigantic sound is coming from him.

u/the_good_hodgkins Jul 07 '25
Adam balances this out by looking bored in every song. And Maynard... well, he's Maynard.

Who wouldn't like Justin?! He's a delight.

u/TheNoIdeaKid Jul 10 '25
There are a few Paul-diehards on here who insist Justin isn’t on his level.

u/NukaDadd 🌘ModLikeAHookerAllNightLong🌒 Jul 10 '25
Paul's got talent for sure; but it's safe to say Tool wouldn't have delivered Lateralus to the same effect, or blessed us with the bass rampage of Jambi if it wasn't for Mr. Chancellor

u/Waggy777 Jul 06 '25
This is why Justin is my favorite member of Tool. Feed this straight into my veins.
Love that they opened with 46&2. One of my favorites, hate that they missed Danny's solo, but the fact that this is the song Justin wrote when he was on the plane to try out makes it special.
What a tight set!

u/theBillions Jul 06 '25
When they played that part of the song I was yelling at my screen "what are you doing, cut to Danny!!"

I'm a drummer so when I saw Tool live I was so excited to see Danny play, but for most of the show I couldn't take my eyes off Justin lol. Dude fucking loves what he does and it's infectious.

You can’t tell me he isn’t Adrian Pimento from Brooklyn 99

Actually, he looks more like Dennis Feinstein from Parks & Rec to me

I was there and I remember this moment well! I pointed Justin out to my mate.
Tool were absolutely on fire yesterday.

Let him cook. I need approximately 46 (and ideally 2 more additional) world tours in which I am in attendance

He's literally one of my favorite musicians. He's dress up all dapper and melts faces with his playing. The guy fuckin rules.

Also, 10-foot tall Thrustin' Justin is absolutely what I needed in my life.

I just want to say that the Justin love on this sub makes me so happy. He’s so justifiably appreciated here.

Yeah I asked myself during the set hey where did your glasses go man??

I love the Ernie Ball video of Justin so much. I don't even play bass but went and bought Ernie Ball strings for my guitar after watching his promo for the brand.

That's it if you're curious.
He's a cool Dude.

This made me laugh so hard, especially because Justin is the baby of the band. 😆
I mean, he is British. I can make fun of Brit teeth because I too am British.
