Tool - Crawl Away 1992 @ JC Dobbs

2-05-92 live at JC Dobbs Philadelphia, PA

[@cape46and2]

I love these guys. I can be having a shit day with my siblings and put my headphones on and I'm cured. If you like Tool like I do, we are friends

[@NiteOWL82]

I was visiting my cousins in philly. Thank god my oldest xousin was 19. He took me to this show. Never forget it.

[@EatMySchwartz61]

It really didn't need a thesis because it was just about how to relate it to something psychological and i decised to relate it to bad relaions ships like divorse and abuse...but if it needed one id probally say something like...The anger and agression of Tool's "Crawl Away" can extract a more negative connotaion twoards it lyricly...its hard to write a thesis for a topic like this. Best i could think of

[@biff022]

Adam's tone is insane. Before the money too. He just has it.

[@godhandvoid9795]

He had a very very expensive rig before tool even started. 76 superbass and a lp custom aren't cheap

[@t-dubya9276]

paul too, I feel like he needs more credit for making the path for pick style bass playing

[@exeter13]

Les Pauls I'm pretty sure we're cheaper back then but by the time guns n roses hit they shot up in price because of slash but before that they weren't very cool

[@nuke97]

That small amount of applause after that intense performance. Just goes to show you every band has to pay their dues.

[@skinheadyouth66]

nuke97 saw them on this tour w Rollins. at cbgbs people were going nuts

[@Cymanytb]

you guys with the applause and dead crowd comments. why can't you understand that you have to be there to hear the details and you get 10-20% of the experience through a video. The microphone of the camera has to be set at a low sensitivity so it doesn't clip from the incredible 100 decibels it receives so it is set so low that when they stop playing you won't hear the much quieter though crazy crowd reaction on video. got it? everyone who went to a tool concert knows that the crowd is always going nuts with people passing out.

[@joelclark4528]

How many people are in that venue?

[@antondavidovic3996]

What you talkin' bout? All 15 people in the crowd applauded

[@ImpuLseLuna]

@@skinheadyouth66 sir this was before they were popular.

[@JacksonCopBlock]

I've jumped out of airplanes and had six guns pointed at me at one time, but I've never been scared more than I was listening to Tool in the dark on acid. I'll take Tool over the guns any day!

[@As_Asa_PhD]

I have a similar experience.

[@josesaavedra260]

bro i did this i set it up😂 their songs are just intense dark adventures, its really eye opening

[@CyborgNinja442]

Lol tell that to his classic "Maynard Stare" and those huge pupils of his.

[@nicholaslee2323]

It is/was a dimly lit environment, not negating anything.

[@cape46and2]

I admire Maynard for blinking. He knows if you take your eye off the world for a second...your are Fucked.

[@drummer265]

Goddamnit, Maynard. That scream at the end is dirty.

[@glidingsideways]

lol I got messed up 1 day and decided to try and make a Tool Cover song.. and I tried to sing Swamp Song... lmao.. not even close. Maynard is/was an amazing vocalist.

[@marshallaberle6867]

count the number of times he blinks.

[@IntooleranceRieg]

0

[@afatty322]

Hold your breath until he blinks........

[@everythingsretros4421]

same 0

[@jermowight8942]

7 lol👼

[@spiralouttoolband]

My band, Spiral Out (a tribute to Tool) just played this song at the very same venue last night... it was fucking magical to stand in the same spot and sing the same song as Maynard himself...

[@chrissywolfjones6307]

Maynard’s lack of expression in these videos makes me smile. Love the performance! Tool is the best…❤️🤗

[@DongleKumquat]

"I can see, your back is turnin if I could i'd stick a knife in" I mean, Who can think up something like that?

[@rangerkasdorf4476]

I’ve always heard that line as “if I could I’d step on your hand”. That’s what it sounds like on the album, though he’s clearly singing “stick a knife in” here. I prefer the way I heard it though!

[@iliketotubeyou]

Keenan: I've experimented, absolutely. I've definitely treaded that fine line. But I've never gotten so down into it that I couldn't dig my way back out, luckily. There's that voice in there somewhere - which some people don't have - that says, "Hang on, come back." -MJK interview from 2007 with MTV. Look it up Like I said, do your homework before you flame somebody

[@oscarriley9265]

is he talking about drugs? what is the context

[@camelsarekillers]

gotta love at 4:30 when he just sneaks the stranglehold lyric in there. nice work, mr. keenan.

[@theholliebug1]

Gawd. >< I just cannot stress it enough. This is the best song of all time. And its just as freaking good here, in 92 recorded live, as it is studio on the cd. They nail it everytime. This happens to be my favorite! Gawd!! So freaking bad ass!

[@Allisonloosemore]

Sick isn’t it?

[@AssassinTaco]

3:35 - 3:47, his change in facial expression is quite intense.

[@bojanks15]

3:00 the cameraman cant decide where to go Everywhere is too epic!

[@sickxpleasure]

maynard has pain filled eyes. I wish i could meet him.

[@Zlpempleh]

That scream at the end!!!I just love it.

[@1lazyDJ]

I doubt very seriously that any member of Tool is "drunk" or "high" during there live performances. They are just too good live.

[@1978vicarious]

He never blinks, not once.

[@nun6996]

maybe he was just blinking when you were

[@jacobbronson9581]

This album holds a special place in my heart, after discovering undertow was released the literal week I was born in april 93. I have loved this whole album for many years before I knew that cool ass fact.. It is up there in some of the best Hard rock albums of all time IMO. He absolutely slammed this performance while out of his mind high. Awesome 🤘 stuck between this song, 46 and 2, And stinkfist for tool favs. APC is a diff story. Too many.

[@Allisonloosemore]

I concur, And, Nevermind was released on the day my Son in Heaven, was born!

[@skataeric]

Seriously intense ending. That is one of my favorite parts of a few Tool songs such as Eulogy, 46&2, The Grudge, the endings alone get you pumped! STICK THE KNIFE IN!!!!! :)

[@GGattuso1991]

I'm not a big metal fan. But when I watch this, all that pent up rage and frustration just call out and it makes me feel so much better knowing that there is a medium that perfectly expresses that for me. Thank you Tool. For being the bridge that gapped me to my sanity again.

[@jeheirn]

Maynard.. I love you...

[@ozzmosis213]

gods dont blink!!

[@TheBlahman3]

WOOOOOOOOW HE IS HIGH AS A KITE! :D

[@ErikForSOAD]

he's seeing ghosts

[@jermowight8942]

There so far ahead of the curve no one knew what to think I'd trade both kidneys to have been there

[@laynestaley1990]

god.. look how intense he looks at the beginning.. you can tell that in his head hes not even in that room.. .hes in what ever memory made him write this song

[@heyapathy]

THANKS I've been looking for this early 90's stuff for awhile. Got to see this live before Sober made them huge. They were really scary back then. This was serious shit

[@pranakhan]

Save Your Own Soul

[@TorrMup]

@tool4janes He self admitted it recently in an interview...I saw him last July (with Tool) and last November (with APC) and as great as he was when I saw them, he doesnt have the same voice.

[@canwill29]

This is fucking intense!!

[@J3MOdh3NOWX3S]

Hell yeah it is, Tool at it's finest!

[@Besos41]

LOVE YOU!!! " TOOL ROCKS" I have been to concerts BUT, still cannot find FRONT roll, Too many Tool lovers, as myself

[@1lazyDJ]

They are just as good in this video playing for a handful of people as they are now playing big shows. And when I say "high" , I'm not talking about mari-jane I'm talking about tripin on mushrooms or acid or something of that calibre. You can be super intense like Maynard without dope!

[@DrummingFuzz]

Looks like Maynard "spiralled out"

[@Danster82]

This is awesome footage, so many people must love to see this. The energy given off by maynard!

[@morningeuphoria64]

fuckin love ya Maynard!

[@djjoep100]

nice performances i was 22 years old i wish i was there i have to see them live one day now i am 40 next time they go on tour i will see them in ny or nj

[@cape46and2]

Classic. Classic. If u don't love Tool, that's ur problem. Classic. I'm all for gay marriage if only Maynard would marry me

[@Captain_Neckbeard]

An underrated song, and one of my favorites.

[@beastlyboii123]

lmaoo maynard is awesome the best part is at 4:05 LMAOO SOO FOCUSED

[@Shabutie554]

Maynard...devouring souls with his eyes

[@cape46and2]

I can see your back is turning if I could I'd buy you lunch Maynard. U r the best. We love you

[@satanicaleve]

@ilavaspaintballs Maybe he was maybe he wasn't. I do know that him and the other band members have done Psychedelic drugs. It does look a little like his eyes are dilated heh.

[@jedidrummer69]

this is one of those Tool live performances were I always like to play, Guess That Drug! ;D

[@xstrongerxthanxdeath81]

te amo maynard

[@TuneTalesGamer]

I just love this whole song, and the whole undertow album, too.

[@1223tool]

@jayfril So you would rather him make believe he still has the same anger from Undertow, Opiate rather then heal through his music. I would rather someone show their present emotions and as for the last four years theres not one show I wouldn't have wanted to see. If you don't realize 10,000 days for the same greatness as their earlier albums I believe you're being very negligent to a different type of passion in the later albums. They're all well thought out processes, but it's your opinion.

[@DanCfan01]

as sub-par as 10,000 Days is, its still better than 80% of the NU-metal and emo crap put out nowadays. Theres some great songs there, but 1/2 the records basically filler. Undertow is a fucking masterpiece but i believe they peaked with Lateralus. With 10,000 Days it seems like they tried to create a hybrid between the two and it just came out dis-jointed.

[@deutschluz]

i know right...in his early career he has these hypnotic performances and when lateralus came out he prolly spent half the time in a dark corner of the stage just letting the music be. Whatever the reasons and consequences, its very original for rock, which tends to be so egocentric.

[@killermind19]

@yaosgirl4life im only 17 and i ve been listening to them for about 4 years now? idk but i agree with u... maynard put so much heart into his music. its impossible to compair them to each other i love every album and songs.. there my fav band =]

[@DanCfan01]

No comprenday, Brohan, but 1 tings fer shurr N"begorrah, the ULTIMATE Tool set list has to be: 1. The Grudge 2. Crawl Away 3. 46&2 4. Right in Two 5. Undertow 6. Lateralus 7. Schism 8. Jambi 9. Opiate 10. Anema Encore: Sober & Vicarious

[@deutschluz]

wow its safe to say that Tool would be much bigger if maynard had decided to accept the limelight and be a star. The camera work is weird but it was prolly for a potential video...I gotta say that wrt early Tool sober is number 1 and then crawl away is 2....

[@Tool19781]

@jayfril Actually, he explains why he doesn't sing with the anger he had on Opiate and Undertow. He's moved away from that. It had nothing to do with passion at all. Get ur shit straight.

[@Blacktull89]

Good example of just letting the music speak for itself. This is why I love Tool.

[@ijustsmokedajoint]

im the 42420 veiwer = epic win. long live tool fans and lets hope that new album drops soon. the oldies are the best but im interested in what the new shits gonna be like!

[@Jegor666]

Yeah i know... I saw lotta Tool performances live & i can see a big difference here... in my opinion he's high on drugs here... acid days defenitly.

[@darylcurtis8034]

Ecstasy

[@undertoes]

damn, he's so lost in the song, that he doesn't sing it the way he does in Salival (sing-song way), More like he's yelling at someone, Still good tho

[@mds484]

I can... lol. Its nice to see an intelligent disagreement rather than the typical uneducated barbaric pointless argument.

[@seaptown]

contrary to popular belief the band dosent do drugs all the time like people think and definently not during shows.

[@ultrakool]

What, was there like eight people in the audience? It's too bad because they still played their balls off anyhow.

[@Michael-ls8mg]

Adam Jones. Incredible guitar 🎸

[@cliffemall86]

He looks like he's been through some stuff, it looks like a lot of people are good at misunderstanding him.

[@Baxxter101]

LOL @ the lame zoom in zoom out action around 3:30 That made it way more intense! thanks camera guy.

[@EatMySchwartz61]

im writing a paper about this song for psychology....im actually excited to write a paper for once

[@jumeau1]

@theseer27 i'll bet money they were sober. it's called intelligence, passion, and focus.

[@Jegor666]

oh yeah it was. just look at his eyes... total madness... he looks like he was on acid.

[@jermowight8942]

Maynard dance s like me an I have a spinal injury who copies how ... I copied him# my hero

[@shantih433]

I don't think anyone concentrates as hard on anything as Maynard does on singing.

[@Dhieen]

He must have been so hiiiiiiiiigh LOL

[@basicwrench4510]

Dhieen high on his music and maybe a couple other things

[@ewall09]

someone PLEASE count how many times maynard blinks. I don't think he does once.

[@parsonsplayzone]

@Tool19781 yes anyone that knows tool opiate and undertow was about abuse not passion.

[@josepaiva7193]

allright? what an awkward coment to give maynard at the end of that song

[@Manslaughter777]

If i meet him in person at that time, I wouldn't look him in the eyes.

[@nathanlambbass]

i've only just realised how much maynard looks like nicholas cage lol

[@Ellwood19851]

haha, I just noticed that, he doesn't blink until the song is over.

[@Tooltoolla]

wow ur right...creepy the guy must own him money or something :)

[@Besos41]

Hoorah!!! My favorite song!!!!!

[@tool4janes]

@TorrMup i beg to differ, he still has the lungs and the rage

[@mribanez91]

@facelessman555 what if he blinks at the same time you do?

[@SimonRouge]

wenn du bei dieser Musik nach dem 5. mal höhren immer noch nichts fühlst, bist du entweder zu wenig sensibel für diese Art von Musik oder du lässt es einfach nicht an dich ran

[@CocytusFrost]

@banksfan02 I'm sure James wants to kill the crowd. Lol

[@EatMySchwartz61]

he probally didnt blink because he was on a trip dude

[@ACE234dm]

Maynard acted like he knew he wasn't supposed to be there

[@SHAWN-rz6vu]

Pupils lookin a little big there buddy.

[@mikeschderkater]

Did anyone notice he doesnt blink at all??? WTF?

[@threebabago]

LoL no shit to that, I love the pan-o-matic.

[@katarina1976]

Or maybe he's just acting to fool us all.

[@JustinJagger]

the demented little brother of RiffRaff.

[@twinatoms]

to the contrary, i think he was 'in it.'

[@DamianSatan76]

Blink maynard blink, if you really be a human.

[@chump203]

is that a fucking cougar growl at 4:37?

[@manwithtwoeyes6911]

He was on some serious drugs here. You can see it in his face.

[@SimonRouge]

how do you know they habe a tour this summer?

[@MrPebkac]

its called LSD..and he was on a trip
