I have this borderline disgusting habit of ranking EVERYTHING into a top 10 list. Anything that I'm remotely interested in is ranked. Haha.

Bullshit. You can play anything backwards and interpret it into whatever stupid shit you want to.
That being said its commonly known that Jimmy Page was DEEPLY into the occult and black magic. I like to indulge in the fantastical belief that Page made a deal with the devil that JPJ stayed out of and Page/Bonham were too young and naive to avoid. I've apparently read way too many Zeppelin biographies/documentaries.

So happy to meet people who aren't morons and understand the validity of the Tool/Zeppelin comparison. It really goes deep.

I firmly stand by the statement that Lateralus is the second greatest recorded song of all time after Stairway to Heaven.
Dont rage on me. I'm a Zeppelin/Tool superfan. I kind of view Tool as the Zeppelin of this generation.

Purists will tell you the golden album is Lateralus many others will lean toward Aenima. I'm unquestionably in favor of Lateralus. The title song itself is written in a Fibonacci sequence which is pretty mind blowing when you think about it.
Best albums in order Lateralus Aenima Undertow 10,000 Days Opiate
What I love is that if you start with Opiate and work your way forward there is a clear and obvious progression in their talents. To me Tool's music coalesces better than anyone since Zeppelin.

I'm sorry, but what limited range of emotion do you feel that Tool portrays? Yah, that may be the strangest critique I've heard of Tool. Tool does one thing. Super-Fast Finger Wizard Master Class shit. I've got all the respect in the world for what they do but I get pretty limited enjoyment from it I love people who aren't too stupid to respect something that is great, even if it is something they don't like. Someone as intelligent as you are should have profound respect for Maynard's lyrics and the drum/guitar sequencing that seem to speak the words as the notes are played. Tool has love songs, but many don't identify them due to their lyrical complexity. I'm still learning new things from their music and I've been a die hard for better than a decade now.

Even deaf people know that Tool is the greatest band in the world and yes NIN headlined 2006, they are what drew me to Sasquatch and the Gorge for the first time. Still the best performance I've seen at Sasquatch. That giant fucking light gate they put in front of the stage melted my face off. I'm typing this without a face.
Unless we resurrect Led Zeppelin, Tool wins the World Cup by a landslide!

It definitely makes NO SENSE to have the best band in the world at your music festival especially since they've headlined every other significant festival in the US. I say if NIN can headline then so can Tool.

Amon Tobin Isam would be totally adequate. You're going to that?

I wont defend Sphongle as I don't 'know' the music, BUT his light show looks awesome and I'm a sucker for that type of thing. That being said, he's far from the top of my must see hopefuls. His strange presentation piqued my interest.

Oh and if Black Mountain returns, give them a longer set. It felt like they got cut off just as they warmed up.

Yah. Tool is definitely a deep, DEEEP wishlist band. I would be happy to simply see them perform at the Gorge again.

Amongst my circle of friends I've always been the mature, fatherly guy that everyone came to for advice and never wanted to disappoint so everybody took to calling me Mr Lantto(my last name). In an effort to appear cleverer than I probably am I switched to MisterL when I came here.

Thats hilarious Fig. Our caravan is departing from Minot, North Dakota. We'll be there thursday and we'll be stepping out of our vehicles thirsty. If perchance you happen past a campsite where multiple cars have ND plates and you hear the sound of laughter and fun stuff happening - it could be us! 30 days to departure!

Hahaha. Oh yah. I'm tossin around parental insults left and right! Really though my son has been playing hockey for 5 years and in my local community the hockey parents are stuck up assholes. I don't own a business and my family doesn't have a big name and I don't donate every moment of my free time to the hockey boosters so I'm not holier than thou like the rest of'em. I'm sure its different everywhere, but here most hockey parents here look at you like a painted turd if you don't meet certain social standards. Or maybe its just me.
