8:30 Can't get enough of this bit, Danny extending that incredible drum outro and Maynard full on crunking it. What a shot!

[@bradygolden5232]

No comments on how the polyrhythm Danny plays is something 99.5% of percussionists can't do? Dudes seriously the best technical drummer since music has been recorded.

[@richardroberts741]

Damn right. The vibe between drums and bass is fucking awesome. The guitar fills it with beautiful tones. And the lyrics and vocals are the painstakingly perfect. As a whole tool are unsurpassed. League of their own.

You know he's that fucking good when you also think he's also playing Adams part on drums as well

[@SN4K3P1T000]

This was like a couple of months before I was born. It's weird to think that from their perspective, they made the favorite music of someone who wasn't even born yet. Tool is just absolutely amazing, glad to be part from this experience.

[@cynzia_d]

I am a New fan. A Perfect Circle brought me here.

Maynard is too cool for clothes

[@nuke97]

I love the look of this whole video recording. The grainy look it has really adds to the whole look of this performance.

[@FMCREPAIRARMAGH22]

+nuke97 this video has amazing bass

[@FMCREPAIRARMAGH22]

+nuke97 especially through my beats tour

[@jimmyellis7951]

I immediately started thinking the same thing about the hazy graininess of the video as well! Like its some pro-shot live video of a psychedelic band from the 60s. Obviously the visual art on the projector screens certainly aids in that aesthetic :) Adam definitely has a cool eye and ear for those nuances. And whomever filmed this deserves commendable praise as well. It's amazing what people can do when they're passionate about something.

[@Greatlakeskyle.]

I was thinking that too watching some of these other vhs 📼 recordings

one of tool's greatest things is maynard's live style on stage, great voice and mystic attitude

[@cynzia_d]

That voice ....

[@ericwesche7707]

For when this was recorded (97 I’m guessing) it’s such an amazing quality on the audio. It’s funny how stuff that was recorded over he next 15 years wasn’t even this good. Hell its 2018 and people post “live” videos where the audio quality blows. Wish I would have seen tool in this era live.

[@nebraskanimalhemi]

Yeah, some tool fan in the future definitely time traveled lol

[@FIDEL_CASHFLOW_]

It's because this camera is getting the audio directly from the venue's sound board. This has been going on for 50+ years and continues to this day. What are you talking about?

[@jonathankarakas5354]

people had to use pro mics w battery packs , before shitty camera phones existed!

[@lelandbradford51]

Maynards voice and danny’s drums by themselves are mind twisting and it just sounds so beautiful.

[@enlightenwolf]

that was beautiful, i'm changed. Saw Tool this past 2014 tour wish they could still play like this.

[@StefanG5]

Not only is the video good for this era but there's something about their music then, especially in the last minute of the song. It's like they're not trying, and I love it.

[@Star3NoLimits]

@DrFHead Well that certainly wouldn't surprise me. I think Maynard is a very intelligent individual and surprisingly humble. If you are interested you may want to look up the Documentary/Movie called "Blood into Wine" He became interested in winemaking some years ago and decided to buy some land and try it. He is making Wine in AZ on a small scale. It's informative, funny and just a picture of the real MJK. He's a very likeable person outside of his music !

Imagine, admiring highly of someone who was there for you through breakups, deaths, shared food, and water. Slept in the same room side by side, shared life with. While claiming to love you. Then Stab you in the back. Then them making you out to be the bad guy. Breaking out of illusion then seeing "holy shit this person isn't worth it." My light on the song.

Bill Hicks

[@MisanthropicTimeSlipperz]

It's absolutely about L. Ron Hubbard. Maynard has even said this.

[@DaveHogerty]

@@rjpena9529 No, you are wrong ... It is about Bill Hicks. Look at the liner notes, Bill is the smoking doctor, depicted in the painting, with Maynard on the examination table. And if you don't know Bill, look him up, and you might understand why he was a good friend of the band, and why you are still wrong.

[@dondre3000]

When they go back on tour, it is my deepest hope that this goes back into the back catalogue rotation. I've seen them play H, Aenima, 46&2, Stinkfist, and Pushit. But NEVER Eulogy. Funny thing is - I listened to and enjoyed Bill Hicks before the wrote the song.

@DrFHead It's been years of course but I heard an interview with Maynard and this song is about Christ. I personally do not echo his opinion but I like his music and that of A Perfect Circle and I believe everybody has a right to their own opinion even if I do not agree. I think it's a great song regardless. Maynard is known for his controversial subjects.

[@nyr9teen9d4]

Maynard sacrificed Bill Hicks:"You claimed all this time that you would die for me. Why, then, are you so surprised when you hear your own eulogy?"Further:"Join. Kill him. Join. Kill him."Maynard sacrificed his close friend to enlist in the ranks of the unholy.
