For any B/CS locals, I went into the Proudest Monkey on Wednesday and saw a flyer next door at Grand Stafford for a TOOL tribute band that will be playing August 27th with a Pantera tribute band opening.

ETA: Saw TOOL in Vegas back in January. It was an incredible experience. It just bugs me that they don't play a ton of their best/my favorite songs. I almost feel like it's intentional, and just Maynard being Maynard. They have so many phenomenal tracks that for whatever reason are just shelved. "H", for one, being my favorite. How they don't play that song anymore is beyond my comprehension.

I've seen them three times, and an amazing show every time (did the VIP one time and met and talked with Adam Jones for over an hour in a private room. He then pulled out an amp and guitar and played us a rendition of Jambi which was an insane experience. We later then went into the stadium (by ourselves, doors still closed) and let us watch them warm up and sound check. We got to pick a song (46 and 2) and they played it for us (minus vocals of course). They also then played Third Eye (with Maynard) which they also played during the show (which is a rarity). Definitely was worth the ticket.

DUUUDE!

I watch a lot of gear review videos on the Anderton's channel. It's a music store in a London suburb. Mostly I watch Lee and Pete trade off guitar solos in the intro and outtro to the gear review.

This time they had their bass player gal and their mad scientist looking guy do a review of bass and guitar choices plus amps and pedals to sound like Tool.

Most "rig up" videos are "put together a rig for a thousand pounds or less". This one is "price is not a problem".

Once they have their rigs together, they play some Tool. It's pretty entertaining! They are obviously huge fans.

Not Fear Inoculum related but it is Aenema related that was published today by Primus and it kicks ass:
