Best & Worst of All Points West: Day 2 08.02.09 9:02 AM
BEST ADVICE FOR FOLKS GOING TO LOLLAPALOOZA Watch Tool. It doesn’t matter what you think about their bombastic hard rock, or their oft-meatheaded fans, or Maynard James Keenan’s anti-frontman tactics, or their strange, semi-Masonic iconography, or their disturbing music videos. Tool’s All Points West set on Saturday was a come-to-Jesus sort of moment, where a band that too many folks pigeonhole as a niche act completely owned their top-billed status. The opening grooves of “Jambi,” off 2006’s 10,000 Days, brought previously unconverted onlookers to their feet, and the familiar throb of “Stinkfist,” from 1996’s Ænima, coaxed many to stomp around in the field’s mushy sludge. It was self-important, passionate rock, complete with stunning lights, engrossing video screens, air-tight execution, and a touch of the bizarre, thanks to Maynard’s decision to strip down to his skivvies later in the set. Compared to bastions of hipster bands, some of whom can barely play their instruments, Tool is a juggernaut, and any fan of rock’n’roll should be required to experience them, if only once.
