There’s nothing worse than attending a live performance and strolling away feeling underwhelmed. After spending all of your money and time investing in a efficiency, solely to really feel like one thing was lacking simply isn’t enjoyable. If you speak about Software and their exhibits, nonetheless, “boring” isn’t essentially one thing that involves thoughts.

However what in case you’re some punk child who’s used to seeing wild shit at your exhibits? For Corey Taylor, that form of live performance going expertise apparently didn’t translate effectively when he attended a Software present again within the day. Throughout an look on Steve-O’s Wild Journey podcast, the Slipknot vocalist defined how his first impression of the Software’s dwell exhibits nonetheless shade his emotions on the band now, regardless that he hasn’t seen the band carry out in a few years.

“Software, to me, is an acquired style [to watch live] as a result of they’re so dialed that it’s virtually like listening to the album. And as a punk child rising up, that’s not essentially the place I’m at.

“They’re superb at what they do, however after I go to a present, I need to see one thing as effectively. And since they’re not as demonstrably lively, I get bored.

“And I hate to say that. It’s not as a result of they’re boring. It’s as a result of I’m myself bored as a result of I’m so used to shit like Napalm Demise the place Barney [Greenway]’s strolling up partitions and fucking leaping on individuals’s heads.

“However what [Tool] do is so… I imply, Danny Carey‘s one of many best fucking drummers of all time. The way in which they mesh collectively as a band is so easy. They take you there. They usually’ll extrapolate stuff for minutes upon minutes, they’re simply pulling you in. It’s loopy.

“Possibly I ought to go and see them now. As I’m older I might in all probability recognize it greater than after I was youthful.”

That final bit is one thing I believe most of us can take away. Our tastes undoubtedly change as we grow old, so if there’s one thing you hated as a child, perhaps give it a shot now. For instance, I fucking HATED the one Queensryche present I noticed once they opened for Judas Priest. Possibly it’s time to determine which of the Queensryches I must see and catch them once more.

As for Software, Taylor can get his alternative to present them a second probability at any of the dates under. He may like ’em now.
