We saw Tool last night. I had never been to a ROCK concert before.






Adam didn�t even like Tool before the concert and he may have just said it was the best show he�d ever seen and something about what could top that now? I�m not sure either.
My hearing is not fully back yet. It is funny walking and not being able to hear your feet hit the ground trying to get the fuck out of there.
Due to my nasty migraines we prepared for the absolute worst case scenario and hoped for the best. We left the house at eight when the concert started we must have gotten there around nine we smoked a joint on the way but somehow Adam forgot to put the other one in his underwear and it got taken away fucking FUCK. People were smoking so much pot from the second we entered it almost didn�t matter, although it did �cause I wanted some damn it. The opening act was off stage and it was interesting to me thinking who was making who wait, Tool or the crowd? The people came in slowly and I wondered if it was the only way they had to show them how uncool it was they didn�t come here for the Lateralus tour but that it was ok they�d been forgiven they were here now.
I have never in my life heard anything that loud it was fucking amazing the chairs were vibrating. I didn�t think I could feel Tool like that, thought I had already been penetrated to the max by their power. I didn�t know you could feel music like that so cavernous and have it actually move my insides. The music was my oxygen.
The stage was all white, images came off the floor and off a small back wall; the stage actually looked like it was going to blow up at one point. Coolest motherfucking thing I have ever seen. Maynard wore cowboy boots, jeans with a huge silver belt buckle, sunglasses and a mohawk. The man must have legs of steel he gets into this monkey stance and stomps around; he sang some songs with a cowboy hat on.
I won�t lie, I cried during the opening song I could not believe I was finally there finally watching them, hearing them seeing them in the flesh. The band is in such an 80�s rocker phase right now it was awesome. I probably had mascara all down my face, I bet I looked rad. I was completely possessed by him by the energy my eyes were glued to the square of space he stomped in. He talked but unless you are not from America you don�t want to know what he had to say. I wonder if he and Natalie Maines are friends.
I would suffer any headache and possibly give a body part away, maybe a kidney to see them again. And I knew they would do �nima as the encore.
