991.0. "Tool" by BUSY::SLABOUNTY (Tinkerbell vs. bug zapper) Sat Jan 22 1994 15:07

    
    	What??  No note on Tool?  Well, there is now.
    
    	I bought "Undertow" on one of my Christmas shopping sprees, basic-
    	ally for the song "Sober" [of course].  Listened to it once, and
    	thought it was OK.
    
    	And for those of you who like this sort of thing, there is a track
    	69 on the CD which is who-knows-how-long [the Kenwood in my Duster	
    	has NO CD time info at all ... just disc selected and track #], but
    	I remember hearing what sounded like a typical country-type back-
    	ground of crickets.  Very strange.

    I've heard the song sober a couple of timesand found it to be very
    depressing....!

    I got a copy of Undertow from a friend awhile back and generally enjoy
    it.  Very angry, heavy sound.  "Sober" is a good representation of what
    the rest of the album is like and is currently getting a lot of
    airplay since MTV's blessed it by showing the video frequently...

    Prison Sex Is a Good One.  I actually Heard it on the Radio the 
    other day, Of course it was about 4 in the Morning. 
    
    Has any one heard their first one,  Opiate.  I haven't had 
    much of a chance to listen to it, but so far it sounds like Undertow,
    there is only five songs on it with one live one.  So far I like it.

991.10POWDML::BUCKLEYRaptor -- Rules the Skies!Mon Feb 14 1994 13:032
    Sorry, but for me, Prison Sex is a big letdown as far as a follow-up
    single to Sober.  It's just not as good (or listenable) imvho.
991.11I agree...PATE::SCHIAVONE...ticking in my head....Mon Feb 14 1994 13:304
	I thought "Prison Sex" was as generic as they come...

991.13"Let the rabbits wear glasses"COMET::LAURICHThu May 26 1994 17:3813
    
    
            I got to see them last night at the Mammoth in Denver. The
    opening band was Failure, and I was not impressed. They had a good
    guitar player, but still need a sound man. The second band was Flaming
    Lips, and they were better than Failure but not very tight. Tool came
    out with a vengance, with good sound, stage presence, and had the crowd
    going from the start. My only regret was that Tool only played for
    about 50 minutes. All in all, it was worth the $17.50 for the ticket.
    Next time they come around I hope they have a better opening act.

    Hey Hey Jeff,  I do believe I did run into you (literally) at the show.
    TOOL put one Killer show, I agree they need some better opening acts. 
    I would have liked to see them play longer, but I don't know how huch 
    longer my well fed body could have lasted in the pit :-).

    I thought Failure did a good job with the opening duties.
    
    Flaming Lips were not as good ( But I did like the "light and bubble"
    show)     B*)

991.16I will work to levitate you, just enough to bring you down.POLAR::TYSICKLead, follow or get lost!Thu Jun 06 1996 13:569
    Let me start by sayin' I think this group kick butt!!!
    
    I've had the album for about 3 1/2 years and the only reason why I
    don't leave it in my CD changer, is cause of the "69" track thing...
    anytime I wanna hear all the disks play randomly..."Undertow" ends
    up getting left out!
    
    I thought I heard they were comin' out with an album in '96 or around
    then...anyone else know anything about this? 
991.17PATE::SCHIAVONEWhile the hypocrites hide insideThu Jun 06 1996 14:316
	I don't know if you saw my message on the Replicants disk, but
	members of Tool and Failure got together to do covers,  pretty
	"interesting" stuff...
