They’re wonderful at what they do, however once 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 biggest fucking drummers of all time. The way in which they mesh collectively as a band is so easy. They take you there. And so they’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 once I was youthful.”

The subject got here up as Steve-O himself is a diehard Device fan. Steve-O‘s admiration for the band even managed to search out him embarassing himself stanning over Maynard James Keenan whereas interviewing him earlier this yr.
