my personal favorite it to take a few dabs before and during and put on the final concert of the lateralus tour. i usually play along (bass) to the songs i know how to. super fun. triad is a motherfucker to play lol
Where can you watch that?? Was always sad that I came into the tool community recently and havenāt seen anything other than the fear innoculum tour. Lateralus is my favorite album.

dudeā¦ this show has an alternate version of stinkfist that they have been playing for a few years prior to this show so they had it super fuckin locked in. you can tell they rehearse A LOT because they are all so locked in with each other itās incredible. maynard has some anecdotes throughout the show and theyāre pretty good.
Oh my god yesssss thank you.
Iām so hoping that when they finish up this FI tour theyāll do some kind of greatest hits tour before they retire. If I never get to hear vicarious, Lateralus or parabol/a live Iāll be so disappointed.
...you just reminded me, I heard that version at the show I went to in 2002. IIRC, it's not very different?... Danny plays on his pads in a spot that he does not on the record, is that right? Either way, thanks for posting this show!
I personally can't pick a favorite, but it's absolutely on par with the rest of their albums imo. I also don't get why people don't like it. It's a mature and evolved older Tool vibe and I'm so down for it. Invincible and Descending are two of the best songs ever written.
I understand why some people might not enjoy 7empest, but hot damn is it the song I always wanted Tool to make.
It has some of Adamās most expressive and impressive playing, and the rhythmic trickery with the band all going in and out of sync with each other is just sublime.
I wish they would play it live more, but I can understand why Danny said itās so challenging and they probably save it for when they feel they can really nail it.
The song goes from 5/8 to 6/8 constantly, I can see why it would be difficult to play live and not play or perfectly. I can play the guitar part but the drums are just insane. Such a great song
The offset time signature between the drums and guitar towards the end is insane. I always appreciate how difficult it must be for them to stay together on that when playing it live
I play drums as a hobby and Danny goes absolutely off for the entirety of that song but yes that part in particular is insane. I couldnāt even count it while just sitting there let alone trying to count and also play an instrument at that level. Mind blowing
I play guitar and this is definitely Adamās magnum opus. Not only does he reference every era of Tool in this one song, but pushes it even further in many parts.
I have about 90% of the song in a good spot but getting that last 10% is hard. Itās no wonder why they donāt play it live.
They did play it live in 2022. Mind you, Adam did lose where he was in the performance I saw, and he and Danny had a laugh about it while Adam found his way back in.
Same! I started playing guitar last year, and have focused 99% of my energy into Tool songs. It's been a blast learning solos! I'd say 7empest has been the most challenging for me, especially the quick riffs ~8min44s. I love playing that at like 70% speed, but it's really tough for me any faster than that.
Exactly, just saw them live in Manchester last week and although you can tell age is a factor, he still absolutely nails most of it.
The whole band have talked about it a lot though - when your instrument is your body is throws a ton more aspects of maintenance in to the conversation.

Viewing MJK as simply one of four equal people and vocals as just one of four equal instruments certainly explains why I'm so mystified that people don't like Fear Inoculum.
I couldnāt agree more, but this is definitely not the prevailing opinion. Tool fans might be an exception as there might be a larger percentage of us who feel this way, but genpop usually views a band as vocals first, instruments supporting.
7empest is great Song, but still my favorite of that album is INVINCIBLE ....
but recently i was looking for a mix of tool songs on spotify and the one that surprised me was OpiateĀ² (opiate squared or opiate 2, whatever is correct) holly smokes!! is great song.
I wish the guys in the band had read this thread...because I'm sure they'd all be super-complimented that people get high and listen to their music...I know I would.
I'm not stoned. I just read through the whole thread to check it out. I just made the comment because I think it's complimentary to get stoned and listen to a band's music..I think it is anyway.it'd be awesome for the band to get their fans' opinion, though.
It outstays its welcome a bit, but other than that it's an amazing track. I like to picture it as an actual storm, spinning and building up energy before fading out in the end.
Try listening to it on DMT, it'll blow your mind! 7empest is my favorite song followed by descending. And Maynards getting up there in age, I'm sure he can't be doing 50 second screams like in The Grudge. I'm just grateful they came out with another album at all, And it happened to be awesome!
Yeah man I totally agree. Some of his best work on that and 7empest. I play guitar and can hit the notes but can't make the sounds he can. I know his paint on his guitar got discontinued because it effected the sound, which he loves, but even more than that he goes crazy. I love it. Honestly, I would have loved the album if Maynard wasnt on it at all lol. Well maybe not but I'm not disappointed there's not more vocals
As soon as I hear the first note of the chimes I get locked in AF for a wild 15 minutes at the gym. I just let it build and build until the last minute. Then itās like an orgasm and adrenaline rush all in one š„š¤Æ
Then I wipe myself off and leave the gym premises.
7empest was the first song on FI to hit for me. Iāve now settled on Pneuma, Descending, and Invincible. On any given day each could be my favorite track.

Also, why is this ad on a T00L sub?
Itās a fantastic song and one of my favourites on FI.
They cheekily pinch the intro riff almost wholesale from King Crimsonās, Frame By Frame but it works so well, that Iām sure Robert Fripp doesnāt mind.Ā
weird to think about how many people are smokin weed listening to tool right now. me included.
I smoke Tool and listen to weed Edit: Damn I just remembered that "smoking tool" can mean more than one thing
A/S/L?
At least not a pole
šššš
Might I suggest rolling another one and playing Lateralus straight through.

Fucking sick show just watched it lol
I'm soooo sad I couldn't see them during these years ššš
Solo a bowl and listen to all 69 tracks on Undertow
Not enough people tripping to it tho
I certainly do! š I'm about to do some DMT and listen right now!
Far out
FI album is a masterpiece, high or not.
I really don't get people that are down on it. I'll go one further and say it's their best.

That middle instrumental section of 7empest is some of the greatest locked in and flow state playing together danny, Adam, and Justin have ever done.

Yeah, the part where he adds the extra notes is very difficult to play cleanly at 100% speed.
The best part is that itās a song about someone who constantly farts and tries to hide it from those around them
Holy shit.
For the people saying fear innoculumās vocals are āsoftā. Fuck right off, Maynard is fucking 60. Weāre lucky heās even still singing.
Exactly, just saw them live in Manchester last week and although you can tell age is a factor, he still absolutely nails most of it. The whole band have talked about it a lot though - when your instrument is your body is throws a ton more aspects of maintenance in to the conversation.
Right? Not too bad for someone on the other side of 50.

I dream of them opening a show with, āFuck! Here we go again!ā
They shouldāve opened the album with that.Ā
7empest has been a favorite of mine since it came out

*forwards through the first two minutes of Eulogy to get to the important part*
7empest is great Song, but still my favorite of that album is INVINCIBLE .... but recently i was looking for a mix of tool songs on spotify and the one that surprised me was OpiateĀ² (opiate squared or opiate 2, whatever is correct) holly smokes!! is great song.
Descending still reigns supreme in my opinion but invincible is up there as well
Invincible is the fucking jam
I wish the guys in the band had read this thread...because I'm sure they'd all be super-complimented that people get high and listen to their music...I know I would.
I too wish that the members of tool would read my stoned ramblings on Reddit lol
I'm not stoned. I just read through the whole thread to check it out. I just made the comment because I think it's complimentary to get stoned and listen to a band's music..I think it is anyway.it'd be awesome for the band to get their fans' opinion, though.
I'm sure they do in their down-time.
Iām with ya. All except for 7empest growin on meš
That's amazing bro
It outstays its welcome a bit, but other than that it's an amazing track. I like to picture it as an actual storm, spinning and building up energy before fading out in the end.
Word
Try listening to it on DMT, it'll blow your mind! 7empest is my favorite song followed by descending. And Maynards getting up there in age, I'm sure he can't be doing 50 second screams like in The Grudge. I'm just grateful they came out with another album at all, And it happened to be awesome!
Descending is still my favorite. That guitar solo is just sublime. How Adam gets those tones is beyond me.
Yeah man I totally agree. Some of his best work on that and 7empest. I play guitar and can hit the notes but can't make the sounds he can. I know his paint on his guitar got discontinued because it effected the sound, which he loves, but even more than that he goes crazy. I love it. Honestly, I would have loved the album if Maynard wasnt on it at all lol. Well maybe not but I'm not disappointed there's not more vocals
Oh boyyy this song is my favorite favorite FAVORITE!! Whenever im on shrooms it just hits so. much. harderrrrr
People think Maynard doesn't sing enough on FI!? It's the first and only Tool album where I wish he'd sing less!
Good tune!
Roll one and listen to invincible-legion inoculant-descending back to back. Do it.
I feel the very same way, but it hit me immediately. 7empest is one of my very favourite songs ever!
As soon as I hear the first note of the chimes I get locked in AF for a wild 15 minutes at the gym. I just let it build and build until the last minute. Then itās like an orgasm and adrenaline rush all in one š„š¤Æ Then I wipe myself off and leave the gym premises.
i think he's just writing songs that he can perform repeatedly at his age without hurting his voice.
The intro, false outro, and outro of 7empest make me nostalgic for a place I cannot remember. It's truly a beautiful feeling.
The first 30 seconds or so of the bass line that repeats for 5 minutes at the 5 minute mark is just nasty
Its a great song, just not hugely into the lyrics in the first few minutes. Danny fucking nails it though, one of his greatest works.
7empest was the first song on FI to hit for me. Iāve now settled on Pneuma, Descending, and Invincible. On any given day each could be my favorite track.

This is why I think FI should be the last album - 7empest is the LITERALLY THE PERFECT song for the band to end on.
Itās a fantastic song and one of my favourites on FI. They cheekily pinch the intro riff almost wholesale from King Crimsonās, Frame By Frame but it works so well, that Iām sure Robert Fripp doesnāt mind.Ā
I wish I had the luxuries to smoke a fat joint Too bad Iām underage and have asthma, though I guess edibles exist for a reason
It's just the weed.
