Schism was the closer in Charlotte last month... During the interlude gold flakes starting raining from the ceiling. With the lasers and smoke and the music it was just a crazy experience.
I liked the 12-string but felt like the 6-string was a little too thin. Sounded good, but just needed something heavier/thicker. So maybe a set with electric lead and bass but the 12-string playing the rhythm parts?
I've seen Tool and A Perfect Circle a few times. The no phones thing has been standard for years. I love the idea of living in the moment and enjoying the performance you paid for instead of worrying about taking a video. Some of the best live performances I've ever been to.
I saw Tool for the first time in November - Maynard said the exact same thing to the crowd in Toronto. I couldn't have been more psyched that they followed through with making people put their phones away. Thanks for the content!
Makes you really enjoy the moment instead of seeing the concert through your phone. I was gonna go but I didn’t like their setlist, went to see the tool cover band instead last month
That 12 string is beautiful, and the fact that its Irish made makes me want it even more. "how can one man stop an entire room from taking their phones out?" Respect.
I saw them here in Knoxville last year, were freaking awesome, they pick different songs to play at each concert and different ones to let you film at each concert. Its like getting a unique performance every time. Pretty damn awesome
@ileutur6863 source my guy? Same tour two shows last year, my buddy saw them a few weeks before me in a different city, a few songs (tool so like 20-30 minutes of the show lol) were different on the track list. It could be that they have two sets they switch between while on tour but I can guarantee you they are not exactly the same at each. And they pick a different song to let everyone take phones out and film.
On this leg of the tour, they’ve played the same setlist, but switch out two songs. The second song can either be Jambi or The Pot and the last song can be either Schism or Stinkfist. I think that’s more or less what they do on every tour. I think they added one song at one of the Madison Square Garden shows, but on this current tour, that’s the only time they added a song.
Tool is the only reason I play guitar. I've seen them live twice, once in an arena and another outside at a festival, and they put on the most amazing live experiences you could ever imagine. Seen plenty of amazing creative performances but none of them top a tool show. Can only dream that they get to play a venue like the las vegas sphere one day cause they'd be the best concerts of all time
I've seen Tool twice and both times it was a terribly boring performance. The music was good, of course, but their live shows are dull. Lasers and lights were impressive in the 70s and 80s. Maynard spent the whole time facing the wall. No one moved besides to walk off stage while they left a delay pedal echoing to infinity.
@@riot057 Idk they've only been performing that way for 3 decades, it sounds like you went to a Tool show expecting people to t-rex walk across the stage and crowd surf like it's a turnstile show. Both amazing bands and experiences, but it sounds like you're just a cringe zoomer fan. Especially since you didn't know that's how they've been performing since the 90s. That fact alone makes it very easy to ignore any take your tiktok rotted brain could make.
My dad purchased his rolls Royce of guitars. A left handed Emerald in green. It was the Cherry on top of his collection. Unfortunately he passed away about 3 months after it arrived. Beautiful instrument
I love Tool. I'm a devout Maynard fan. I first learned of them from Sober. I was a singer in a band. I spent a decade training myself to sound like all my hero's. Maynard, Vedder, Cornell, Staley, and Jim Morrison. I used to do a perfect Maynard James Keenan. My guitar players played the songs, I sang them. I learned guitar late in life after I lost my voice for two years at age 42. I've never sang the same since. I used to be a perfect clone of all my hero's. I was a monster. But even Maynard can't sing like he could when he was 25 anymore. I really appreciate this video. I had no idea you were a Tool fan. I've watched hundreds of your video's over the years. Those new guitars you have sound amazing as all hell.
Saw Muse twice once on the Black Holes Tour and then this last one in 2023. They're up there. Muse, NIN, Deftness, Gojira, Meshuggah... there's too many good shows to name.
Go see Umphree's McGee! They literally became my favorite band when I saw them last fall, knowing absolutely nothing about them! It blew my mind every few minutes, no joke
Saw Muse in 2005 at the U of H theater on the Absolution tour. They were badass live! Probably seen Incubus 10 times. Did we just become best friends? 😂😂
At Jack Whites concerts in Berlin ,Germany you had to lock up your phone in a little bag they provide - if you are leaving the actual concert hall, they unlock it - lock it up again if you go in. It really made the whole concert experience better . Great move by Jack White + he always releases great video and photos after the concert , so you still got your memories. I think Tool made a great move
Flew to Paris last May to see them perform live and the situation was the same: there were discaimers everywhere tellin' you to not use your phone or other cameras. Even the security was very, very active and stopped everyone was trying to pickup their phone from their pocket. I liked it a lot. Finally a concert where people Watch the show and not the screen of their phone. Finally a concert where you are not forced to see all these harms holding thousands of phones. Finally a concert where you only have to enjoy the show
i saw them for the first time last friday. had a blast. spent too much on merch. the last song was incredible live and seeing the stadium light up like the night sky with 21,000 cell phone screens was amazing in its own respect. what an incredible show
At the Jack White concert , everybody had to put their cell phone in a special pouch that locked the phone inside . At the end of the concert on the way out you got your phone unlocked et gave back the pouch . It was kind of cool a concert without all the light from phones screens .
Yeah I’m never going to one of his concerts again because of that. Pretentiousness at its finest. Look what rock and roll has become, rockers are no more than schoolmarms. Rock really died with Kurt Cobain
@@pedrog7663Maybe it's not so much pretentious art wankery as it is getting tired of getting blinded by every flash in an arena when the lights get put low. As a fan of Kurt Cobain, I'm sure you know he wasn't fond of getting his picture taken when he wasn't expecting it. I think people are wrong to make an argument against it for art's sake - it's fucking annoying, that should be enough reason right there.
Nearly forgot to leave a like because I was enjoying this so much. Thank you for your content. You sound great and you're obviously healing well from those idiots. Big hug.
A Perfect Circle, Tool, and Puscifer (in that order) are my favorite bands. They're similar but their own. Their songs speak to me in so many ways. I got to see A Perfect Circle at the play the eMotive album in concert at the Marquee Theater in Tempe, AZ years ago and it was the first and only concert I've been to. It was the most amazing thing I've ever gotten to experience and I've been wanting to see Tool live ever since! You pretty much nailed these man. Definitely did them justice. The only one I was hoping you'd include was the intro of Right In Two, my favorite Tool song!
Man, respect to Tool. I'm someone who likes to record the first couple of seconds of each song so I can go back and re-experience the set in the order that they played it in. I always put my phone away after the first few second and really exist in the here and now. More people should just exist in the here and now. There is a happy medium to be had.
You got a new sub... Been a tool fan for 30 years.. and about the same length of time as a guitar player..seen tool 14 times and they never disappoint.
Saw them a few months ago. Absolutely one of the best shows I've ever seen. It's maybe a silly thing, but I love that they didn't mess around with a planned encore; they gave an incredible show, and then it's done.
I saw Tool around 2015. I barely even *had* a smartphone by then, so it didn't occur to me to take video. I remember that concert in such vivid detail. I remember looking to either side and seeing other fans just standing up to see better, the blue lighting, the slightly annoying lazers. The faint smell of beer and weed. The energy of the crowd. Danny Carey's fucking crazy drum solo between sets. Memories I'll treasure til my deathbed.
Just saw them on the 10th, and it was the greatest concert I've ever been to. Not having my phone out until the end was kinda crazy. I really slipped into a trance, and it was an amazing experience! Hearing them live was just incredible!!!!
I went to a small Jack White acoustic set here in Chattanooga last year. You had to check your phone in before you could go in the show. Really made it special. You were there for the whole moment, not just what you recorded.
I just got my first acoustic electric and it's been tuned in DROP D almost the entire time! I didn't even know when i clicked this video so I'm very excited to learn this stuff. It's such a fun tuning to learn on. Another song to check out is MIST by John Butler! It's quite fun and leaves room for improvisation if you like. He also uses a 12 string a lot so I'm sure you'll have fun with his music (though it takes a lot of work to get to his level) Thanks for sharing this! I have a whole new respect for Tool
Saw them during the first wave of Fear Inoculum tour with this no photography policy and it was the greatest thing for the show. I could actually just be in the moment and thrash out the whole time like when I was in my teens. Top 5 live shows ever for me 🤘
I once went to a Tool concert in St. Paul and then the next night, drove to Madison and saw them again. It was a special 2 days for sure. Cool video dude.
As someone who went to see them in concert on the 10th of Jan. I can confirm that performance with the "diamond dust" was incredible, legit had my eyes watering.
Tyler your song is bad ass man! I so dig the dark-drop D stylings in tribal off time signatures… (fun fact) About 20 years ago I got to jam with Justin Chancellor all night at our studio in LA. It was something I’ll never forget… They had just won a Grammy too! Excellent vid! ✊🏽😌
They did this at the Winnipeg show as well ! And when I saw Jack White in 2018 he told everyone before the concert no phones and they had a special bag you had to put your phone in during the show that they had to unlock at the end of the night. He said they hired camera men so the audience doesn’t need to be. I actually kinda love that some bands are doing this. It completely changed the show and you have everyone engaged in the concert and then it’s also cool to see during the “lighter” moments it’s not just a bunch of phone lights but it’s actually people pulling out lighters.
Awesome video Tyler. And amazing guitar playing as always. Yeah the 1st time I saw TOOL was here in Australia at the Festival Hall in Brisbane on the Ænema tour was only a fairly small venue by comparison and you could see the band so clear. They were all painted blue with glowing red dots on them. It was so amazing that I didn't even bother drinking as I was just glued to watching them perform the whole time. They were absolutely flawless. I saw them in later years when the Melvins opened for them. Melvins are just so unbelievably loud. TOOL sounded quiet by comparison however it was still an all round amazing concert. And yes Queens of the Stone Age are another band that absolutely delivers live as TOOL do. I'd have to say those 2 bands could be my 2 favourites live as well. 🤘🇦🇺
Just saw tool a couple months ago in Calgary and they did the same thing with the phones. That show was hands down the best concert I've ever seen, those dudes still crush it and it's unbelievable that they are all around 60 years old.
I was so close to buying an Emerald guitar a few years ago, I really wish I had after watching this video. They look and sound incredible, who knows maybe I'll purchase one in the future. Also, Tool are amazing!
Grats on getting to see them and also seeing that 99% of the fans will respect the intimacy of a phoneless concert.. especially a concert that has insane visuals and an amazing energy.. I've been lucky enough to see them twice
thank you, Maynard! I saw GnR play H&H metal fest in Mexico last november - or should I say, I saw GnR through phone screens as EVERYONE around me recorded every damn second of a GnR show up front, and it was truly maddening. plus I bet 95% of those videos will never be watched, ever, maybe once at most...
First time I had the privilege was Lollapalooza in 1997. At one one point my brother and I look back from the front barrier and it literally looked like an ocean of bodies churning like waves. From that moment on I try to get to any show when they play nearby. Every show has been an amazing experience.
I saw this tour in moline, illinois it was the same thing with the phones. They didnt play the classics i wanted to here most they played at other shows in the tour. Adam jones let his guitar sit there forever on the first song blasting sound without it even in his hands 🙌
it was the same phone routine at the Dallas show on friday. it's awesome not having tons of phones up the whole time. such a great show! really cool hearing these riffs on acoustics and a 12 string 🤘
I saw Tool back in November with some friends I play in a band with and we heard the same thing about not having our phones out until the very last song, but he did make an exception when they brought Alex Lifeson out to join them for Jambi (which neither of us were expecting, since two of my friend and I are huge Rush fans and Jambi was our singer’s favourite Tool song) but it was still an awesome show since we were also sitting beside someone who had been following Tool since the very beginning of their career and had a lot of cool stories as well
I've been part of the Tool Army since '95. Tool IS the best band ever created. Even if we have to wait 15 years between albums. It gives us enough time to appreciate the latest album.
Tool have been doing this forever. I remember my first gig was Tool, Wembley Arena back in the early 2000’s and there was clear signage saying not to use your phones or flash photography.
My daughter got me and her tickets to the Birmingham Alabama show in February and it was amazing. I kept my phone in my pocket the entire show but my daughter did record lateralus at the end. I know I wouldn't have had no where near the experience if I was looking through my phone. Tool Army 4Life btw it was my daughter first tool concert and she loved it, she was sad cause they didn't play her fav song which is the pot but she had a blast anyways. Going to see puscifer and apc soon.
Tool is amazing
Be present
Be in the moment
Lol
Lol
The schism interlude is my favorite piece of music of all time. It's so beautiful.
Schism was the closer in Charlotte last month... During the interlude gold flakes starting raining from the ceiling. With the lasers and smoke and the music it was just a crazy experience.
It is so good. I love TOOL so much I can’t pick a favorite song
I have been a fan since 93 never seen them life and can play half the discography one of myfavorites definitely
@@codymcdaniel6672 it's at the end of this vid if wanna see gain.
Watching this made me realize that Tool acoustic set is a thing I never knew I needed.
I liked the 12-string but felt like the 6-string was a little too thin. Sounded good, but just needed something heavier/thicker. So maybe a set with electric lead and bass but the 12-string playing the rhythm parts?
There's a UA-cam guitarist named Ernesto Schnack who does a lot of acoustic Tool covers and he's freaking good.
@@Gnomesmusher he makes the best tool and APC covers on the internet. thoroughly recommend learning them; he has tabs on his website
tool performs culling voices live with acoustic guitars
@@Gnomesmusher thank you, I'll be looking him up now.
I've seen Tool and A Perfect Circle a few times. The no phones thing has been standard for years. I love the idea of living in the moment and enjoying the performance you paid for instead of worrying about taking a video. Some of the best live performances I've ever been to.
Puscifer is the same also

The most certainly don't. Every setlist since fear inoculum has been very similar, except shortened sets for festival dates

@@ryanshredz9743have you guys thought about seeing the Taylor swift eras tour ™?? Lots of fun dancing and running around from your musician.
I’m in awe of Tool AND the sound of the Emerald acoustics! Wow!
These guitars sound amazing and I do love Tool. Great video here.
My dad purchased his rolls Royce of guitars. A left handed Emerald in green. It was the Cherry on top of his collection. Unfortunately he passed away about 3 months after it arrived. Beautiful instrument
My condolences bro.. 🙏
sorry for your loss
That guitar is as beautiful as is it sounds. Man what a great piece of musical work
Tool is a bucket list band ,so glad my family and I got to see them . That twelve is amazing!!
I love Tool. I'm a devout Maynard fan. I first learned of them from Sober. I was a singer in a band. I spent a decade training myself to sound like all my hero's.

I LOVE my own 12 string guitars, but I must say, that Emerald sounds unbelievable!
Keep that thing close to you forever!!
Those sounds that come out of those guitars are incredible. Very haunting. Very Tool
Best live bands I ever saw: Muse (2010) and Incubus (2002, 2004, 2009, 2019). Great concerts I’ll never forget
Muse on the "Drones" tour was hands down the greatest show I've ever been to.
Saw Muse twice once on the Black Holes Tour and then this last one in 2023. They're up there. Muse, NIN, Deftness, Gojira, Meshuggah... there's too many good shows to name.
Go see Umphree's McGee!
They literally became my favorite band when I saw them last fall, knowing absolutely nothing about them!
It blew my mind every few minutes, no joke
Saw Muse in 2005 at the U of H theater on the Absolution tour. They were badass live! Probably seen Incubus 10 times.
Did we just become best friends? 😂😂
Incubus is absolutely amazing live. My favorite band. I've seen them so many times I've lost count.
You have to see them until they quit playing over and over again. I’m so stoked as a major Tall fan to see you recognize the power.
At Jack Whites concerts in Berlin ,Germany you had to lock up your phone in a little bag they provide - if you are leaving the actual concert hall, they unlock it - lock it up again if you go in. It really made the whole concert experience better . Great move by Jack White + he always releases great video and photos after the concert , so you still got your memories.

I wanted to say the same thing. He started banning cellphones in 2018 so this is nothing new but definitely a good thing.
Flew to Paris last May to see them perform live and the situation was the same: there were discaimers everywhere tellin' you to not use your phone or other cameras.

Awesome video Tyler! Love to see your passion for TOOL since they're my favorite band!
I was so pumped to see them last year. They finished the set with forty six & 2. What a concert.
At the Jack White concert , everybody had to put their cell phone in a special pouch that locked the phone inside . At the end of the concert on the way out you got your phone unlocked et gave back the pouch . It was kind of cool a concert without all the light from phones screens .
should be mandatory
Yeah I’m never going to one of his concerts again because of that. Pretentiousness at its finest. Look what rock and roll has become, rockers are no more than schoolmarms.
Rock really died with Kurt Cobain
Can tell a dude who didn't know music till after the creation of cell phones. It's ok kiddo. Just stay home and watch UA-cam clips
@@pedrog7663Maybe it's not so much pretentious art wankery as it is getting tired of getting blinded by every flash in an arena when the lights get put low.

Great video. The acoustics (and your versions of the songs) sound great!
Man the guitar sounds soo good. Cool your scar is heeling good. Best
“Not about the guitar tone” every Adam jones fan just shuttered

awesome tyler. i saw them in philly this past november! they were awesome. they finished with 46 and 2.
I once went to a Tool concert in St. Paul and then the next night, drove to Madison and saw them again. It was a special 2 days for sure. Cool video dude.
Have to say, I love your version of this song. I listened to the original a lot, yet I always love a well-done acoustic cover. So.. 👌
Those guitars are astonishingly beautiful. And Schism sounds amazing on them.
Greatest band that ever was.

Love this, Tyler.
I’m going to see them in L.A. on Thursday with my dad… so stoked!!!
These are some of the best sounding guitars I've ever heard!
I was at the Austin show last week and thought this was the coolest thing. Having everyone in the moment being present together.
Awesome video Tyler. And amazing guitar playing as always. Yeah the 1st time I saw TOOL was here in Australia at the Festival Hall in Brisbane on the Ænema tour was only a fairly small venue by comparison and you could see the band so clear.

Saw them a couple of weeks ago, and trust me when I say. The best concert I have been too and very very intimate when you pay full attention to them
Attended in Charlotte. Epic. My first tool show. Looking forward to the next one!!!!!
I was so close to buying an Emerald guitar a few years ago, I really wish I had after watching this video. They look and sound incredible, who knows maybe I'll purchase one in the future.
Also, Tool are amazing!
Best band ever wish I got tickets when they were in Edmonton this winter.😢
Grats on getting to see them and also seeing that 99% of the fans will respect the intimacy of a phoneless concert.. especially a concert that has insane visuals and an amazing energy.. I've been lucky enough to see them twice
Those acoustics sound beautiful!
That 12 string is gorgeous 😍😍 & it sounds amazing
I've never listened to Tool but what you played sounded AWESOME!! Timing is off the hook!
thank you, Maynard! I saw GnR play H&H metal fest in Mexico last november - or should I say, I saw GnR through phone screens as EVERYONE around me recorded every damn second of a GnR show up front, and it was truly maddening. plus I bet 95% of those videos will never be watched, ever, maybe once at most...
Been lovin" my Emerald Virtuo!
First time I had the privilege was Lollapalooza in 1997. At one one point my brother and I look back from the front barrier and it literally looked like an ocean of bodies churning like waves. From that moment on I try to get to any show when they play nearby. Every show has been an amazing experience.
I saw this tour in moline, illinois it was the same thing with the phones. They didnt play the classics i wanted to here most they played at other shows in the tour. Adam jones let his guitar sit there forever on the first song blasting sound without it even in his hands 🙌
Totally agree, Tool are incredible live! Lateralus absolutely went off when they came to New Zealand in Feb(?) 2020 🤩
Great12 string! Love that tone.
it was the same phone routine at the Dallas show on friday. it's awesome not having tons of phones up the whole time. such a great show!
really cool hearing these riffs on acoustics and a 12 string
🤘
I saw Tool back in November with some friends I play in a band with and we heard the same thing about not having our phones out until the very last song, but he did make an exception when they brought Alex Lifeson out to join them for Jambi (which neither of us were expecting, since two of my friend and I are huge Rush fans and Jambi was our singer’s favourite Tool song) but it was still an awesome show since we were also sitting beside someone who had been following Tool since the very beginning of their career and had a lot of cool stories as well
You're an awesome musician
dude the 12 string, rustic, dark country feel just sounds sick!
I've been part of the Tool Army since '95. Tool IS the best band ever created. Even if we have to wait 15 years between albums. It gives us enough time to appreciate the latest album.
I've got my tickets for June! That ending gave me shivers. I really hope we get something similar.
Tool fans exist in a quantum superposition of being both amazing and The Worst
Those guitars sounded AMAZING through my studio monitors, nice recording!!
Yeah, just saw them in Atlanta. What a show! This band is a force, still! I dig these Emerald guitars.
I got to see them in Portland this past October! It was awesome and they played Rosetta stoned!!!
Love those guitars the sound is incredible, The twelve string at time 6:43 sounds like Yes Awaken, beautiful sounding guitars Good vid Tyler..
Emerald Guitars are astoundingly good ❤
Tool have been doing this forever. I remember my first gig was Tool, Wembley Arena back in the early 2000’s and there was clear signage saying not to use your phones or flash photography.
My daughter got me and her tickets to the Birmingham Alabama show in February and it was amazing. I kept my phone in my pocket the entire show but my daughter did record lateralus at the end. I know I wouldn't have had no where near the experience if I was looking through my phone. Tool Army 4Life btw it was my daughter first tool concert and she loved it, she was sad cause they didn't play her fav song which is the pot but she had a blast anyways. Going to see puscifer and apc soon.
