Live's first two albums were great. Also Ed Kowalczyk has a cameo in Fight Club.

Also didn't they or at least the lead singer go hardcore Christian later on? So what I'm saying is that Live is what happens when Live has a stroke.

Ed quit/was kicked out of Live for some reason (money/licensing/whatever) and made a couple of sappy, overly-spiritual/Christian albums that nobody bought.

Kind of surreal reading this and thinking "oh hey Isis I haven't thought about them in a while" then looking at my wrist with a fading 20 year old Isis tattoo on it that I frequently forget is even an Isis tattoo and thinking "oh yeah that's isis on my arm" lol.

Anyways, don't get band tattoos. Isis owned before they went all prog metal though. They got boring after Celestial.

a friend of mine in high school got a Coheed and Cambria tattoo which I mean...woof

i'm not a tattoo guy personally but it's probably best to get a tattoo after the band retires / dies as like a tribute. i can see people getting ziggy stardust tattoos or something after bowie kicked the bucket

on the other hand with tool the art is alex grey's vajrayana stuff which gives fans the chance to incorporate their own style on a sleeve or whatever without just stamping a TOOL logo on their lower back, so it doesn't have to be just a TOOL thing and allows for a greater degree of individual expression, and that seems fine

One time at Burning Man I took a group shower in a shipping container while Alex Grey and his wife were painting on stage net to a glitch-house DJ.

It was seriously 30-40 people squeezed into a big box and then they dumped warm soapy foam on all of our naked bodies and then hosed us all off.

I remember looking at the painting as I was dancing and thinking “drat dude, we get it, you like painting striated skinless people” and wondered what I was gonna do for lunch now that I was all clean.

Including Blink 182’s self titled album, which was a hard pivot from pop punk to emo.

I remember one of my best friends in college going to see APC and coming home bummed because Maynard had been such an rear end in a top hat during the set that he realized that no amount of emotional resonance with the lyrics was worth having to identify as a fan of his because he basically had open contempt for his fans.

I don’t know why I didn’t remember that until now.

I tripped out with a friend and listened to Fear Inoculum and it just sounds like 3 TOOL songs from their previous records stitched together. I hope the rest of the album goes more far put, otherwise this will be the Chinese Democracy of prog Rock

Fear Inoculum.

The song opens with a modulated bell noise. Danny wasn’t in the studio one day, so we decided to have fun with his stupid gong he has set up. I smacked that thing with my schlong really hard and we recorded it. We then pitch shifted it up 3 octaves and there ya go. The cello was recorded by Devo, my breed.
