Tool Lateralus Rehearsal

Adam Jones has shared some footage of the band rehearsing Lateralus from the Loft.

[@bigtymajosh0]

Never thought they would release something so personal like a guitar pov. My day just got better.

[@snarkyguy2657]

Hope you made it to see the Danny-Cam video of Pneuma!

These guys are pretty good. If they keep practicing, they might make it some day!!!

Compliment: A polite expression of praise or admiration. Complement: A thing that completes or brings to perfection. Unless he meant that the guys in Tool sit around and flatter each other, it should be complement.

[@vilegod3025]

Me too dude. Just saw them live in February. While the track list was amazing. They played the grudge off of lateralus but I would've love to see lateralus live

[@heavenstibetsee5716]

@@vilegod3025 The Grudge is bad ass for sure and I've been loving getting to see all the other tracks off that album, but Lateralus into D/R/T is just such an amazing musical feat. I always wonder if they'll do opuses like that live again.

[@jeremylarue4503]

I love how well these guys sync up. They play off each other, incredible musicianship.

[@rafanj824]

Oh God, that tone is woth a million dollars.

[@lifethroughthecamera8531]

Adam's right hand has an almost inhuman accuracy to it. absolutely perfectly on time, almost robotic in a way. Just awesome.

[@jreinhardt9466]

Dude, I’ve been obsessing over Adam’s right hand technique on guitar for several years now and still can get anywhere near the precision he’s mastered. Cool to see others appreciate it as well.

[@trentkraemer7109]

@@jreinhardt9466 seriously what they mean when tone is in the hands, his palm mutes and chords sounds so damn perfect and it’s because of his right hand. I’ve been trying to copy it, seems like he’s hitting hard at an angle over the top of the bridge pickup… maybe

[@TheSmurfPenis69]

It’s not only his right hand, his left hand is doing most of the mutes. Getting that “full silence” when just touching it with the left hand. Also notice how many pull offs he does when just playing the chords riff that adds a lot. Both his hands are doing his style, mainly my point :)

[@LifeIsGoodYouShouldGetOne]

Right? I learned a chunk of Invincible on the guitar a month ago or so, and I still mess up on my right hand and it's INFURIATING!!!!! Every time I angrily strum my guitar, I wonder how tf Adam does it lmao

[@creedation]

So much power in their music. It’s just unbelievable how much you can feel just by listening.

[@Lola_Santoro]

Everyone - just sit back and remember when you REALLY heard your first Tool song. Not when you first heard them and thought "that's pretty good", but when you REALLY heard them and thought "That's f*cking amazing!" Yeah, that's what I'm talkin' about. #ThisRightHere

[@InsaneFame]

Gotta be when Aenima dropped

[@Lola_Santoro]

@@InsaneFame Yes!

[@suryapanditi3161]

I heard schism before any other tool songs and thought it was a decent song. I really discovered Tool when I was high and listened to pneuma for the first time. It was also when I truly realized danny carey’s drumming ability

[@rossrichardson6593]

Wings for marie on a dxm trip...ooh mama

[@davidbee8793]

The first TOOL song I ever really connected with was Eulogy, 6 mos. after my mother died. And I've never looked back. The circle was complete with Wings for Marie, which is still difficult for me to get through.

[@seanmichael8202]

Probably the most epic rock song ever written... Subject opinion, of course, but damn! It’s that damned spiral! Such an insane build to an even more huge ending. Just, absolutely sick...

[@finneasmcgillicuddy1416]

Your opinion is fact. Laterlus is one of those songs that truly stands above the rest.

[@cgcg73]

No matter how many times I see this, the way Adam just jumps in on those particular notes is so damn cool.

Tool's guitar parts are actually really not that difficult. You just have to be comfortable tuning down. The truly difficult instrument to cover Tool for is drums.

[@jeffhiggins4478]

The only thing holding you back is yourself. Start practicing, bud. You can do it, you just gotta put in the hours.

[@voteZDLR]

@@hc3550 Nah if he learns tabs and starts with easier songs, even easier Tool songs, he can be playing them within a few months depending on natural ability and putting in as little as 30 mins to an hour a day. I am not saying it will be EASY by any means, it's not, I am just saying don't tell him it will take years when it won't. You will be surprised how fast you can pick something up if you really want to. Tool's guitar parts are not that hard. They're just in a weird tuning and use weird rhythms as other people pointed out.
