The Tool Page: Opinion - View Single Post - Who else discovered Tool with "Sober"?

Even though I became a hardcore fan this year, I can say that I was fortunate enough to loosely follow Tool's career over the years. The start of which was seeing "Sober" on MTV's Headanger's Ball in the spring of '93. I even still have an old VHS of when I recorded it on the show.

I still have a soft spot for "Sober". Because it was my first Tool song, I'm biased towards it. When I hear it, it mostly affects me on a nostalgic level; remembering junior high at the age of 13, when I first heard it. But now that I've heard their whole catalogue, it still holds up as one of my favorites, and it'd probably be in my Top 5. Also, it was probably the highlight of my first show, in September.

I can't say I was lucky enough to know about them in the Opiate days, but oh well.
