And right now we are being sold the 80s concert experience, Tool style. The lights, the lasers, encouraging everyone to light the lighters, the all top hits set list. Maynard in his sunglasses and leather jacket, jeans with the big buckled belt and cowboy hat. I don't think that get up is any less a costume than anything else we've seen. If there is a thread about this somewhere, please direct me, I'd like to know if what others think about this…
