The pure and simple fact that he didnt say anything to us and merely went out on stage and did the absolute bare minimum is the biggest fuck you ever. Sick, tired, want to quit, whatever, fucking tell me so that I can put your performance in the proper context. Its the only decent thing to do. And it is for this reason that I think Maynard is a fucking douche becuase he didnt say shit.
Justin - Always a stalwart. Always rocking out and dropping insane baselines. He sat for Lateralus. Let me say that again: Sat-For-Lateralus. Fuuuuuuck.
Adam - My friends were front row in front of Adam up until 10,000 days and they said he looked haggard and old. Even I could tell he was sub-par.
Danny- Danny is the only one who did not dissapoint.
I said it after the show and I will say it again. Since this was a highly instrumental show. More so than any I've ever heard (and I have alot of boots). This show had the potential to go down in history as one of the rarest shows ever. But because they didnt put the show into the proper context it will be forever framed in negativity, I feel sorry for Adam, Justin, and Danny.

This was my 29th Tool show since first seeing them open for Henry Rollins in 1992. You take from it what you will. Framed in negativity? Not for me, I enjoyed the show immensly, even though I knew Maynard was not feeling it. Anyone who's seen this band for any period of time knows that no Tool show is the same. I thought the dude that jumped up on stage during 10,000 Days was a complete ass and the was the only negative moment for me. Maynard hardly sang much and Adam was a bit sloppy during the improv jams between songs. But it was all part of the Tool experience for me. I was thinking to myself during Lateralus, "this is so fucking good they should end the show with this song" and suddenly they did. And I left the show completely satisfied with what I saw, even though it wasn't one of the best Tool shows I ever saw. But I left feeling positive and not framed in negativity. Take from it what you will and remember you never know when you will see Tool for the last time.
