Anybody else a big TOOL fan ?I've been into them for years now since they first came out.I can remember back when I first saw their video Sober.Mtv had this show called 120 minutes.I was really stoned sitting there on the couch with a buddy and it comes on.We just sat there staring at the tv checking out this trippy video and the music and lyrics were just so awesome.We ended up later seeing them at lolapalooza.I had the chance to see them twice over the summer.They are a really awesome live band.Just looking up and seeing Maynard standing there on stage jamming,its a rush.The show they put on just rocks!They didn't play any of their older stuff these past two times I saw them but they did all of their 10,000 days cd live.I was just stoned loving every minute of it.Definately my kind of music to smoke to.
??I think psychedelics play a major part in what we do, but having said that, I feel that if somebody's going to experiment with those things they really need to educate themselves about them. People just taking the chemicals and diving in without having any kind of preparation about what they're about to experience tend to have no frame of reference, so they're missing everything flying by and all these new perspectives. It's just a waste. They reach a little bit of spiritual enlightenment, but they end up going, 'Well, now I need that drug to get back there again.' The trick is to use the drugs once to get there, and maybe spend the next ten years trying to get back there without the drug.? - Maynard James keenan (TOOL)
