Last night was the Tool concert. Tool put on a pretty good show with a very interesting light and laser show. I was a little disappointed in that they didn't play some of their older songs like Hush, Sober, Hooker With A Penis, Eulogy, and Undertow. They mainly focused on songs off of their latest release, 10,000 Days. Tool almost put on a full two hour set, not a lot of artists do that these days. The opening band was Kinski and they blew donkey balls. They were a purely instrumental band and 3 out of 4 band members had their backs to the audience the entire time. The only band member facing the audience was the drummer. They had a good sound though as they had elements of Tool mixed with good sections of The Mars Volta and even a little Deftones. However, they really need a singer and they need to learn that there is an audience watching them. It reminded me of a garage jam session, they just did it on a big stage.
My ears still haven't come back to normal, Tool was pretty loud and the speakers were facing us so we received almost the full force of the speakers. I would have hated to be in the front row on the floor, I think I would have lost my hearing for a few hours. It was also Cinco dey Mayo yesterday but we didn't celebrate. I had a Dos Equis and that was it. My main day of celebration with either be this Thursday or next Monday as my last final is on this Wednesday. Hopefully the get together for Thursday pulls through, I really want to let loose on that day as it is the day after my last final. I don't want to wait 5 days to celebrate but it is no big deal.
Until then...
