  • Lateralus by Tool. A picture falls off the piano at 8:50...couldn't have stayed up there for another 20sec!!??...whatever, guess it gives the vid a little more character. It's not perfect, but I'm happy with this take overall. Thanks for listening!

      That would be SOUL ENLIGHTENINGLY MARVELOUSSSSS!!! I can hear it in my head also. :o I think back to 1999, when Metallica performed live with the San Francisco Symphony, and it was fucking EXCELLENT. Metallica's best live performance by far, in my opinion (along with one of their performances with Cliff Burton). Metallica is one of my top ten favorite bands, but Tool is definitely my numbah 1! And thinking about the '99 S&M concert makes me think about how stellar it would be for Tool to perform with an orchestra. There is infinite potential for the idea od such a divine sounding performance!

      @@monroe12478 You have a gift man, and I'm going to venture to say you're likely at your happiest when this is what your doing.. I know all too well life gets in the way sometimes... Usually in the form of responsibilities that make it difficult to prioritize/justify to yourself in a meaningful way anything that does not immediately contribute to fulfilling those responsibilities... That's just me though... But a longtime friend offered me a perspective while discussing this exact thing... Peace and mindset in which nobody but you can understand that occurs when your eyes are closed singing your ass of, fingers floating effortlessly across the keyboard without any conscious thought.. is worth something...a lot actually... It serves to counteract the negative energy that every living person encounters every day.. And by using it to balance the negative out.. it brings out the best version of you and every other aspect of life..
      Again I'm speaking for myself but I'm hoping you can relate... For example I possess the world's most useless, non productive, and irrelevant natural talent..finger tapping... Been doing it my whole life..makes me no money, entertains a few, annoy the s*** out of most... And recently started doing it again after that friend out of nowhere just told me.."dude, you do your best thinking, you're less stressed out, and nothing else in the world matters when your doing your thing... Quit minimalizing it. Use it."
      Alright did not mean to write a whole novel here but thought I would share because I can't even imagine you of all people with your talent forced to put it on a back burner.. because that would be nothing short of a tragedy.
      Take care and thanks for the reply 🙏
