The number of days it will take me to wade through the e-mails calling me a prick for making fun of Maynard’s mom having a stroke. It’s not funny, Maynard’s mom had a STROKE and she was PARALYZED for 10,000 Days, you prick! The average age at which a male Tool fan loses his virginity, if manual stimulation by a 15-year-old girl in the back of a movie theater showing Saw II counts. "Fool"?-The combined man-hours involved in designing the album’s packaging. And now, here it is: 10,000 Days, which could refer to just about anything. The worst part, though, is that it set a precedent whenever some high-profile nerd-rock album comes out, people expect me to listen to it.Īs soon as there were grim whispers that a new Tool album was impending, I started to get all sorts of e-mails demanding that I write a review of it. The post-traumatic shockwaves of extended noise passages and cockeyed guitar solos and songs called “Snyrf the Volpen Piss’t” are still ringing in my ears. In case you missed it, I made the mistake of listening to the damn thing. Tickets go on sale 2pm Thursday 25 October.I really shot myself in the foot with last year’s Mars Volta album review.

You don’t get much more insane crowds than a Slipknot gig. Masked menace of metal storm Slipknot will deliver a devastating and triumphant show. Def Leppard have said in a press release that they will play the seminal album Hysteria in full alongside the hits. They won’t fail to deliver and the anticipation from fans is there as the follow up album to 10,000 days is being prepared so the setlist almost certainly will include new material.ĭef Leppard played Royal Albert Hall earlier this year and Gigwise reviewer Patrick Clarke caught them and said the title track to Hysteria was “one of the finest renditions of the last 40 years” and opined that “you’d be hard-pressed not to be thrilled to the core”. Expect the world and more when you go see Tool. Gigwise saw recent Tool's Metal Hammer icon award winner Maynard James Kennan lead A Perfect Circle at Brixton Academy recently, and live performances don’t come much better.
