lepeep Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 So, who went to see tool last night at the carling Academy ?I have to say, I went along with apprehension, as the last time they played glasgow (the barras), they were pretty dissapointing...but last night changed that for me....what a fantastic gig, I was a bit worried to start with, as they started with (rossetta stoned, if I remember!)...muddy sound, all over the shop, a basic stramash of a noise, then (once again, "i think") they played stinkfist, and boy oh boy was that good...from then on in, they played a heap of great tunes, and the sound just got better...hard to pinpoint all the best bits, but of course, watching danny carey drum has to be the highlight of any tool gig. spectacular.good to see that they do make mistakes too (not mr carey though)...justin fucking up the start of parabola was pretty funny...no "the Pot" as an encore, but hey, who cares, 1 hour and 45 mins of amazing music...fantastic, I left happy. tired and slightly deaf today...loved it.peep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an amazing gig though, I love Maynard's sunglasses and bare chest look, very rock star-ish. The sound was great, I was worried after a below-par Deftones gig at the Academy on Thursday, but it all came good. Also was wanting The Pot, but was glad they stopped when they did, seemed just the right moment, and probably saved me from tinnitus too...

lepeep Posted June 13, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 what's the song where Justin fucked up the bass at the start? I thought that was parabola ? "spiral down, keep going, spiral down, keep going..." (?)..."I saw the pieces fit" (blah)I did have tinitus...but it's gone now...thankfully!

PlaySleepRepeat Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 This gig was amazing!!This is the 3rd time I've seen Tool and it was by far the best one. Although when they supported Rage Against The Machine back in '93 it was amazing hearing Maynard sing on Know Your Enemy.Anyway I was completely blown away.I don't think they did play Wings for Marie. They played Right In Two as we saw the set list before the gig. Unfortunately my memory is rubbish so I can't remember all the tracks.The tickets for Glasgow were 25.00 (we were downstairs).

french_disko Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 I was downstairs as well - great gig. Can't remember half the set list - just got caught up in the music and stood in awe the whole gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(lateralus tour)carling academy (2006)I have to say the 2000 gig was bland and pretentious...the Garage gig, they played No Quarter (with Paul d'Amour on Bass), and that was a spectacular event..."for those of you under 25, we wrote that"... he he Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
