I had not played for 30 years until the wife let me buy some drums a year ago, hence “reborn.” I’d say some would call me a hack as well!

That is a wonderful story! My wife recently let me buy a Washburn 12-string. Guitar hack, also. To the wives!!

You can never go wrong with Pink Floyd. If you don't have the double live CD Pulse you should get it or down load it. it is awesome GBR!

Oh, I got it. Amazing
Was in Britain when it was recorded.

Sober, Eulogy and Pneuma are probably my 3 favorite Tool songs. Saw them in Omaha back in 2002.

Those would be my top 3 so far.

Real drummers don't have wives, they have broods of broads.

I thought this thread was going to be about the BLM poster.

I've seen Tool a number of times...the last time in Lincoln a couple years back. Front row center! Got a drumstick from Danny Carey. Adam Jones even came into my store earlier in the day, but I was not there.

Dr John's?

Dr John's?

Haha....no, but it is a toy store. Toys From The Past.

I had Forty-Six-And-Two on an old workout mix CD and that portion of the workout always went well. By sheer dumb luck, the ending of that song flows perfectly into the start of this song (lyrics NSFW) and I happened to have them back to back:

We played this at my wedding.

Good times.

I listen to Tool daily and have since the early 90's and that's not BS.. The GOAT and I'd put Floyd 2nd right behind them.

As a lifelong fan of Rush and Pink Floyd, my ears have recently been opened to TOOL. Of course, I have heard a couple songs over the years (e.g. Sober, Stinkfist, Schism), but I had no idea the band was this deeply talented. I think I now can name three bands that meet my lofty standards. Pneuma and Eulogy are on constant loop. It's a whole new world.

If you like Tool, you'll probably like this band. They mix elements of Tool and Jethro Tull (use of flute) into their own sound. Pretty noticeable on their third release (the vids I'm posting are from that album):

Also, if you like Pink Floyd, you may like Porcupine Tree (if you don't know the band already). It brings the trippy/psych vibe of Pink Floyd without sounding like a clone:

Here's some of the solo work from Steven Wilson (Porcupine Tree leader):

Who pulls more wool - drummers, singers or quarterbacks? I'd probably say singers.
