Day Two: TOOL!


Think for yourself.
Question authority.

Throughout human history, as our species has faced the frightening, terrorizing fact that we do not know who we are, or where we are going in this ocean of chaos, it has been the authorities, the political, the religious, the educational authorities who attempted to comfort us by giving us order, rules, regulations, informing, forming in our minds their view of reality. To think for yourself you must question authority and learn how to put yourself in a state of vulnerable, open-mindedness; chaotic, confused, vulnerability to inform yourself.
The words echoed through the Planet Hollywood theater as Tool opened with Third Eye. The concert was unbelievable. Amazing. I can't manage the words to do it justice. Their live songs all have a little bit of their newer albums style worked in, and they were amazing. The effects were brilliant. If you get the chance to see Tool, definitely go. Hands down the best concert I have seen to date.

  1. Yea, they're pretty strict about not having anything that emits light in the concerts. Honestly, I thought it was crazy at first, but the concert takes you away to a another world, and not having any lights from the audience distracting you was helpful.

    I was looking for some pictures from the concert.... check out the ones here:
