Why, you ask, are we trying to con you into believing a picture exists in this space? Because our editors got fnsked at the concert and their camera was taken from them. We are too poor to purchase photos and we’re trying to refrain from being sued. Our apologies. Imagine on. ♦PICTURE*PICTURE*PICTURE*PICTURE*PICTURE* Tool in Concert -by Lance Ruggeri, editor- A concert event by Tool was showcased on Saturday, October 6, 2001 at 7:30pm. Driving from Brevard College to Charlotte’s Verizon Wireless Amphithe ater took around 2-1/2 hours counting a food break and refueling. The parking lots were filled to the brim and had the cheering excitement of Tool fans in the waiting. Beer and another familiar illegal substance was present as soon as the first step was taken out of the car. The fans were smiling and ready on the long entry lines even as the staff patted and frisked every person, searching for cameras, weapons, drugs, and loose change. While walking into the crowded Amphitheater fans began listening to the pleasurable cacophony of the feature band Fantomas. With melodious screams and powerful drum ballads Fantomas gave the crowd something to pay attention too. Fantomas represented a supportive opening act for the type of show that Tool was about to perform. After a quick intermission to visit the little boys’ room and a sound test, the lights grew quite low and there was dead silence. The shouts and yells broke the cosmic omnipotence in the air as Tools’ trademark of circular eyes was presented on five large screens. A circle of twenty- four flaming eyes that is on the cover of Tools’ latest album Lateralus, also represented where the first song came from. They played a number of songs from Lateralus and the previous album Aenima. The talented lead singer Maynard, proved to still have one of the best singing voices in rock music today. The long tracks and eye catching back ground videos kept the audience waiting for even more after the show was over. One great spectacle was during the song Schism when the two gray characters from its’ video came out on stage and began bobbing their heads in synchro nized fashion. Then they continued to entertain by climbing wire cables and stay. suspended in the air performing a hyp notic body dance to the songs’ rhythm. From the reaction of the audience at this concert it seems that almost anyone who likes rock would enjoy this show. If Tool comes back in your area, be sure to check them out.
