Three-time Grammy Award winning alternative metal pioneers, Tool, return to Washington fifteen years into their career with their latest effort, 10,000 Days firmly under their belt. Boasting such previous work as Undertow and Aenima (their tribute to Bill Hicks), the band surpasses legend status and continues to up an ante they themselves helped establish.
Tool's greatest breakthrough was to introduce dark, vaguely underground metal to the preening pretentiousness of art rock. Or maybe it was introducing the self-absorbed pretension of art rock to the wearing grind of post-thrash metal — the order really doesn't matter. Though Metallica wrote their multi-sectioned, layered songs as if they were composers, they kept their musical attack ferociously at street level. Tool didn't. They embraced the artsy, faux-bohemian preoccupations of Jane's Addiction while they simultaneously paid musical homage to the dark, relentlessly bleak visions of grindcore, death metal, and thrash. Even with their post-punk influences, they executed their music with the ponderous, anti-song aesthetic of prog rock, alternating between long, detailed instrumental interludes and tuneless, pseudo-meaningful lyrical rants in their songs.

I shot hoops with those guys when I was working as a bouncer in college. I was working the production door of the club before thier concert and they were like "Dude come shoot hoops with us and stop looking so uptight" So I did. They like alot of musicians were very cool regular guys on the roaad making a living. Have fun Kid Sauk should be a real toe tapper tonight.-TBJ

Danny Carey is an awesome drummer. I keep missing all these shows,it's starting to get to me. Maybe King Diamond will come to Portland and I'll miss that one as well.

AA, King had to cancel his North American tour due to a herniated disc. I would not worry about missing him for at least 4 or 5 months but I am sure as soon as soon as he is ready he will be out spreading those feel good evil vibes for the black masses everywhere. -T Shouldn't he be able to cure himself with some poultice made up in a giant black cauldron full of batwings, goat testicles, Sharon Osbourne's checkbook and Linda Blair's sweat?
