It did suck to see. And I'm in complete agreement with you. Someone in the band did, in fact, have a bad night. The point of my post was to say 'he told you that could happen'.

That which was positive and blessed upon one in their moment is much, much more important than a semantical flaw in performance.

Wasn't it great to see all the TOOL folks inside the casinos? Who here enjoyed playing blackjack at 4AM with TOOL brethren and sisteren? I did. Who here enjoyed communion with their beloved people and had a moment of Real Life? I did, and I'm sure MANY others did as well.

I could say I was sorry to see TOOL have a bad night... I could wish it perfect every time. But that just isn't reality. Reality is, I - and SO many others - had a kick ass time. Denial of this is bullshit... period. For all who have posted the "maynard was a lazy ass/disrespectful ass/inconsiderate ass" bullshit... can you really say you didn't have a good fucking time?

Mattrogesis, your response was succinct. Mine have been somewhat ranty - I believe you Get It more than anyone. Bless - and I'm glad you enjoyed yourself.
