Everyone watches and experiences live music differently, sir. Just because someone remains stoic throughout a show doesn't mean that he's "angry" or an "asshole." Perhaps the "statue" next to you was having a bad day and was just trying to pretend that every thing was ok, just as Maynard told him to do. Again, everyone responds to live music differently, and just because he wasn't jumping up and down and waving his hands like he just doesn't care doesn't mean that he wasn't enjoying himself.

I saw so many happy people at this show, and it was quite surprising. The last "metal" show I went to was System of a Down back in 2005, and I saw people fighting and yelling at each other. I expected a similar thing to occur at the Tool show, but I met so many happy and fun people!
