Skullz reacts to Cold and Ugly (live) by Tool for the first time
Tool is an American rock band from Los Angeles. Formed in 1990... due to Tool's incorporation of visual arts and very long and complex releases, the band is generally described as a style-transcending act and part of progressive rock, psychedelic rock, and art rock. The relationship between the band and today's music industry is ambivalent, at times marked by censorship, and the band's insistence on privacy....Tool has won four Grammy Awards, performed worldwide tours, and produced albums topping the charts in several countries.

I’m sure someone has already said this, but if not, here you go. The reason why these songs on opiate sound like undertow, it’s because it basically is. Tool had a number of songs ready to go to record, they chose the hardest most in your face songs they had for opiate, the rest were put on undertow. Early love shows before undertow was recorded, they were playing sober, bottom, crawl away, and swamp song. Only a handful of “new songs” were written for undertow. Been loving this Tool journey so far!

After you see TOOL, you compare other bands. Not style of music, but musically talented and sound wise. And NO ONE and I mean NO ONE compares to TOOL live. Just get a ticket when they come close. You won’t regret it. I promise.

I see it as a woman with trauma or insecurities who won't let people in through fear. The penetrate line (like a lot of Tools lyrics has double meaning. She is promiscuous because it helps her validate her self and feel beautiful. But she can't bare the thought of being close to someone so they can't hurt her. It's really quite a sad song if it weren't for the energy

So, the live recordings off the Opiate EP were from a 1991 New Years Eve show at the Jello Loft (Green Jello)... The guys in Tool all initially formed (loosely) in the late 80s/early 90s. They all met through the band Green Jello, which was more of funny punk rock band that would dress up in costumes (somewhat like Gwar). The climate in the LA rock scene at that period of time was ruled by "hair metal" bands (Motley Crue, Poison, Ratt, LA Guns, etc)... Green Jello had a cult following that was kind of the counter to that movement. Adam Jones was a bass player before Tool, as well as Paul D'Amour was initially a guitar player. They begged Danny to practice and audition at his rehearsal space (still currently Tool's rehearsal space over 30 years later). They tried auditioning a few drummers, but they would pull no-shows and often asked Danny to fill in.... they'd maybe rehearse once a week, if that, so Danny never took it serious and just played whatever he wanted. Early on, Tool bonded more from the LA punk scene in the 80s (Black Flag, X, Circle Jerks, The Germs)... they viewed the LA "hair metal" scene as completely vapid and insincere. Tool were just a few misfits that wanted to be provocative and make sincere art. It was never intended to be a serious thing at first... Danny even told his friends to not bother going to their early shows because "this band probably isn't going anywhere!" lol

@avedic Жыл бұрын

Since you kinda went back to Opiate after the first 4 official albums..... May I suggest a fun little detour? Check out the live performance of Maynard's first band. I think it was called C.A.D. Stood for Children of the Anachronistic Dynasty or something equally ridiculous. The video is....amazing. Just hilarious. Really shows how FAR Maynard had come in terms of musical talent once Tool started. Because in this video he doesn't sound awful.....but I certainly wouldn't say he sounds good lol. Also....they play a song that might sound familiar.....it's a super early version of Sober. Although played much faster....and worse lol. And.....it's one of the weirdest bands you'll ever see, visually speaking. It's been a while....but from what I remember the guitarist looked like an angsty teen Kurt Cobain wannabe, the bass player looked like Eddie Murphy...complete with geri-curl, a shiny satin blouse(??), and the requisit 80s head-less bass guitar, the drummer was some beefy norm-core 80s mullet dude, and Maynard...........sported an undercut/mohawk/mullet, a flashy dangling earring, and a skin-tight spandex body suit. It's hands down one of the most horrifying things I've ever seen. It brings me so much joy. You gotta check it out! :D

I always saw this song as simply exemplary of more based narcissistic tendency and not really a narrative about Maynard being a part of it; other than having the same nagging compulsions. Which is why he uses a pretty known stereotype of a woman who is materialistic and narcissistic as a wall to shield her from her fears. It’s more like it’s not that he’s involved with someone so much as he’s using an example of something he’s repulsed by to explain his feelings
