Any Tool fans out there.

I've been listening to rock for over 25 years with my head stuck mainly in the 70's. Then a while back I started trying out different rock. A few months ago, I was in Tower Records and asked the salesman for suggestions. He gives me Undertow by Tool. Wow!! You guys have got to listen to them. Even if you don't like rock, you need to listen. Bass freaks will love it. Lyrics and music are powerful. Sound is superb quality and one of their cd's is HDCD.

They are great in concert. Their drummer reminds me of John Bonham of Led Zeppelin. Listen to Kashmir or the Immigrant Song and then listen to Tool. Now, I have all their cd's but still favor Undertow. What's your favorite?

Yep, been into them since their first EP "Opiate" in 1992. One of the most powerful, hard rock, bands the last 20 years. Intensity is the word for them, even when they try to slow it down.

Back in ~1991, when I worked at major record label in Los Angeles, I had the good fortune to catch an early live show of theirs, at all places - The Church of Scientology's Celeberity Center. No kidding. I had no idea what it was at the time and didn't know until someone told some time after.

What a weird and mind-blowing show that was.

Having Tool and Helmet break at the same time restored my faith in hard, heavy, rock at a time when it was a dying breed.
