Tool no doubt. I do quite like A Perfect Circle though, and I havn't heard that much of Puscifer. I liked the song you posted though.

I only ever really liked Tool. The rest isn't hard enough IMO.

Tool, no doubt about it. APC second, then puscifer i guess. I've never been to a puscifer show. Seen apc 3 times and tool 16 times (plus the hawaii show in a couple weeks!). Nothing compares to tool imo.
I started collecting tool tour posters in 2009. I've finally gotten all the ones from 2010 framed up. They look fucking awesome. There's a thread on it in the dome somewhere. maybe i'll update that now. I'm also a big fan of adam's art work.
Edit: fuck it, i couldn't find it. I guess i just put a couple pics in a thread and didn't start one. i suppose i can share these now, here....
^that's my centerpiece. two nights posters. one signed by the band the other was signed by the printmaker. I cut the edge of the one signed by the printmaker (i have an extra;) so that the posters would line up like that. Then added my tickets and that tool army patch. It's also got a suede, textured matt and is under museum glass. I love that thing. This last one is my newest one. Also signed by the band and under museum glass...

I remember seeing those before, and it was still equally as cool this time

FurrowedBrow, respect man. It would be awesome to have seen Tool half as many times as you. And those framed posters are fucking sick.

I love tool, and cant wait till i get to see them. A perfect circle is good, but not as many good songs really. Puscifer i have really heard much of them, but maynards voice is always the best.

I hold The Thirteenth Step above the whole Tool collection. Or any modern band for that matter. Theres so much genius in that album. Tool is crazy good, but my soul grooves to APC beautifully.

yeah, he's got a very unique voice. It's too bad we will never see the maynard of old when he was thrashing his voice like crazy. Here's the other vid i managed to take...
love that song.

While Thirteenth Step is completely redefining... thier first album has only so many good songs.
And Tool is the only REAL "status" band... APC is just a side project. Maynard is great, don't get me wrong but... it's just a supergroup.

Honestly i think 10,000 days is one of there best albums so far. It may not be the same, but definitely great.

i am not a fan of 10k days at all. Aenima and lateralus are more my style. But 'liking' music is a very complicated matter. I tend to like a lot of music because of what i was doing at the time. a song can really rekindle some old lost memories. I remember the first time i realized opiate was a song by the same guys that brought me sober and stinkfist of mtv fame. i was listening to it on the radio driving from one lawn job to another. Anyway, i feel that i was blessed to have even seen one show where they performed third eye, let alone 5! I just remembered, a couple weeks ago i calculated up all the miles ive gone to see tool over the last 8 years and came up with the following:
Quote:
FurrowedBrow said: Total mileage for shows
7/25/02 - 250 miles 04/30/06 - 500 miles 05/06/06 - 2 miles - they played right down the street from me 09/09/06 - 20 miles 05/06/07 - 232 miles 12/14/07 - 602 miles 07/18/09 - 904 miles 07/19/09 - 605 miles 07/21/09 - 660 miles 07/22/09 - 425 miles 06/28/10 - 602 miles 06/29/10 - 20 miles (same venue as the previous night) 07/16/10 - 580 miles 07/18/10 - 270 miles 07/19/10 - 800 miles
TOTAL MILEAGE - 6,552
Pending shows: 01/14/11 - 6,460 miles

I guess I stand alone in this one.

Tool
and more specifically, Tool - Undertow
Maybe it's just because I grew up listening to Opiate/Undertow
but there's something about that album that makes it truly epic, for me
