Tool - Opiate (1992)
Maynard James Keenan hit the ground running with his band Tool. This and subsequent records completely shocked the world of metal, grunge and alternative rock.
commentsMaynard James Keenan hit the ground running with his band Tool. This and subsequent records completely shocked the world of metal, grunge and alternative rock.
commentsThe themes were: Planes, Trains and Automobiles , Hey this isn’t my usual genre?, Hey this isn’t my usual genre? (Bonus Track), WTF - Who was that?
commentsIt’s been full-on 12 hour plus days over a 13 day solid stretch as I rolled up my sleeves and gave all the techy stuff a kick up the pants.
commentsIt’s only been 14 years since their last record! What’s the big deal! Listening for the first time with my best pair of headphones, it’s something I thought I would never hear in 2019.
commentsLive: Friday 19th April 2002 - Queen’s Wharf Event Centre, Wellington (support Melvins)Live: Friday 21st January 2011 - The Big Day Out, Auckland Two unforgettable gigs nearly 10 years apart.
commentsI needed a short, sharp burst of proper metal-infused, hard-edged rock this evening. Hopefully to fuck up the neighbours (who have a tendency to party into the wee hours) but unfortunately you need a really crap sound system like theirs to do the damage.
commentsAfter a day of hearing the “I’m so busy” chant at work (ah diddums!) it’s time for a blow out. Tool live is one of the greatest rock events I have ever experienced.
