The time signatures on this song are insane. It's like everyone is playing their own song and somehow they all intertwine together.

That’s Josh Freese combined with Maynard. Both are masters of painting between the lines. Same for Maynard’s partnership with Danny Carey. It’s just nuts how these cats think & how they can paint such incredible pictures with words, Melodie’s , etc… and all within unorthodox time sigs.

[@DM-il1hf]

Maynard is so damn busy, each of his projects are lucky when he can find time for them. Some can easily focus on one thing for a long, long time but he’s not one of them. And his family & grapes are way higher priorities.

[@Ro6entX]

I've always had lot of respect for Maynard; Few people I have known who had gone to their shows, says he usually stays in the back so the band gets more of the attention. He is very humble and doesn't seem to let fame goe to his head. He's had some dark days in past, but still, can't help but to respect the man.

[@pablerry]

it has never being about the attention, it is better for logistics, and he is not in the back, he is next to the drummer, from that place he can listen to the beat tempo, and he can see all the members and the audience without the need of moving his head, also he doesn't struggle with the guitar and keyboard frequencies.

[@muhammadbangura9404]

@Zac Loves School Yes, studio versions of songs takes out the soul and passion. I don't want perfect, imperfect resonates so much more with music. It's like listening to a robot sing vs a human.

[@LateButGreat]

Worst and cheapest APC performance ever. The only one, tho

[@sirskelt]

It amazes me how people complain about "subpar" performances, mistakes, and even poor mixes. Do you all do your jobs at 100% perfection every time? NO. It's called being human. And I, for one, find no issues worth even mentioning in this performance. Trolls will be trolls. Truth be told you probably dream of having 1% of the talent these guys have. The internet gives too many people balls they do not possess. Shut up and just enjoy music and enjoy life.

[@sirskelt]

+purefault I understand, it is just that I am a sound engineer and have been mixing live shows since the early 90's, and the first priority is to get he best possible sound for the audience in the venue. Then when it gets sent to the broadcast booth, or truck, for tv it may either be taken straight off the console, or it may be re-mixed in real time for whatever show the performers are on. Sometimes these things don't really represent what the band sounds like in that venue. There are multiple factors that can hinder the sound when broadcast, as well as issues mixing live in the venue.

[@ruplateralus]

Tool's third full length album, Lateralus, was certified double platinum by the RIAA. And it was certified silver by the BPI for 60,000 copies in the UK. And they won a Grammy for "Best Metal Performance." Danny Carey's drumwork on "Ticks and Leeches" was rated number 3 on a list of "100 best Rock Drummer Performances." They outsold Missy Eliott by 30,000 copies. That's just one album. Additionally, they're independent. It was the biggest independent release of that decade. One album, dude.
