Ok. I haven't been shopping in ages so I have no new or cute clothes. I'm thinking about going out and getting an outfit for the concert, or maybe just wearing some jeans and a tshirt.

What do you wear to a TOOL concert?

I'm wearing **** that I dont mind getting sweated in, because thats all that happens at concerts. unless you're far far far from any big smelly sweaty guys who wart off their sweat vibes on you.. hehe

Somethin you wont be so hot in would be good. : )

last tool concert i went to, i dressed up like i was from a disco - khaki pants and a big sh*t brown button up long sleeve polyester shirt with different colored squares everywhere

now my new favorite shirt is a dark grey button up short sleeve shirt with leopard print all over the front :D

What do you wear to a TOOL concert? Most of what I saw at Melbourne was a sea of black tee shirts, most of them occupied by 20-ish-yo guys. Much the same for the girls.

Like oh my god, you should be so distressed... like to totally cute yourself up go to like the mall and like get a little skort with a shimery top and like glitter yourself up, girl!

Okay, that was painful.

/me runs.

:p

Oh, you so ungirly girly. No. When I went and saw A Perfect Circle at a small venue I was able to dress in high platform-vinyl-to-my-knee-boots, a skirt, and a vinyl shirt. My first Tool concert I wore a black pants with velvet armless top. But this year I don't have anything of that sort to wear. I kind of like to blend with the crowd. I'm just wondering if I should opt for regular old jeans and a t-shirt this year.

I, being predictably less-than-bright, am considering wearing a brightly-colored club shirt and white cargo pants, or maybe I'll just pretend I'm a 20-ish male and wear a black tee shirt and some jeans.

THE SHOW IS TONIGHT!!!

oh my god! come back here and tell me everything! :D

Okay, so we got to the Great Western Forum at around 7:15pm. Parking was $15, which neither of us were prepared for. We haggled the guy down to $11(I love huge car lines!) and found a place to park. There was the usual assortment of freaks and geeks drinking on a budget in the parking lot. I understood why when I got inside and they were charging $8.25 a bottle for beer! My first step was to head for the ATM line, as my meager funds were quickly depleted by the homey with the lot tickets. I snag my munney and Mizz and I head over to the vendors to get some Sauza. They're mixing it with orange juice or cranberry juice, and Mizz asks for a cranberry and I take it straight. We were hoping her lack-of-having-a-purse would get her out of an I.D. check, being that she's just a little girl and I'm a pedophile, but no-go. I presented my badge of ugly and we got just one drink; like a $6 shot of taquila and a drop of cranberry juice.

The opening band was Tomahawk. Fronted by Mike Patton, they were really damn loud. Unfortunately, they were just too much like a screamy young Tool for me to get into it too much. They had some really great basslines, though. Tool came out like a summer storm, starting with a few drops of light and sound here and there and building and building and building until it was just too electric to believe. Their opening song was Sober, if I recall correctly. They played a lot of tracks off of Ænima, even more off of Lateralus, and I believe the only track they played from Opiate was Part of Me, but I've been wrong before. A special treat was seeing Maynard on guitar during Disposition and Triad(which also featured Sasha Popovic of BÜTCHER alongside Danny Carey[they introduced him as the Tour Manager for Duran Duran]). The visuals were incredible; very, very mindblowing. There were two rear-projection screens brought down above the floor area, on which were played some of Adam's(and probably Alex Grey's and Cam de Leon's) animated art. Included was the video for Parabol/Parabola. It looks even better accompanied live. Maynard was naked and blue last night. That only matters to the hardcore Tool fans here. The overall best moment of the night for me was a few seconds during Disposition when the lighting over the audience bathed us all in violets and blues and white shades, and the path of the light could be traced through the air. Adam was hitting natural harmonics and the screens above were displaying animated geometric patterns that reminded me of breathing spider webs. The backdrop behind the band was lit blue, illuminating the hive-eyes which symbolize the collective unconscious(seen at the end of the Parabol/Parabola video), as was a ten-foot-tall septagram suspended above it. There were three transparent screens suspended just over the front of the general admission area: the one to the far(audience's) left was of a human skeletal system. All gender-defining characteristics were removed from it. The screen just off-center on the left was of a human nervous system, with highlights over the five chakras. The far right screen was an indistinct pattern of black over orange, somewhat resembling several overburns of the symbol once used as a descriptor by His Purpleness, the Prince.

It was a beautiful night. I hope yours is too.

My vote says cords and a black T-Shirt. Or a black wife beater. Comfort clothes.

That sounded just like my first TOOL concert. Not that it's bad, It's VERY good. The huge screens displaying their visual art, maynard being naked, them playing things off all their albums. Yes yes. I'm very excited. I hope they open with Sober here. I didn't get to hear it the first time around. It ranks near number one with me.

11 days! :D :D :D :D

I think the bigger question is "Who Is Tool?"
