| _______________________________________ [Apr 25,2010 1:56pm - Alexecutioner ""] how did the forced set come out with out all the mics? did the bass drum sound really bad or just quiet cuz of the blankets? |
| ___________________________________________ [Apr 25,2010 2:15pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] josh_hates_you said: H#9 - again the drums sound killer. vox are a tiny bit rough when the singer pushes it but overall sounds great. sweet! cant wait to finally here a recorded version of "The Law" |

The snare and tom mics were just for the recording. The kick wasn't necessarily quieter but didn't have the snap that was helping it cut through for the other bands. It was all good though. This show was an epic drumfest. Cassette Tape, Alex, Casey, Brian, Jim, Alex, Matt...Epic. |

Funny you should say that, because my wife came REALLY close to knocking out this chick who kept hitting on me and moshing into me during you guys' set. Last night was such a great time, just the right vibe. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 25,2010 5:00pm - boblovesmusic ""] Seriously guys, I'm super bummed and sorry I missed this one! Please let's do it again!!! Also alex/Tom give me so hard no 9 CDs! |

| _____________________________________________ [Apr 25,2010 10:04pm - neverpurified nli ""] One of the best shows i've played. thanks to everyone for coming out |
| ______________________________ [Apr 26,2010 7:31am - Yeti ""] this kicked ass, Tom deserves a round of applause for planning this so well. even with a really late start it still went without a hitch. the sound was killer, especially for Useful Idiot. that was probably the best i've heard them sound, they nailed it. the bass tone cut through so well. Faces of Bayon is bowel-disruptingly heavy. sucks for anyone who got stuck at the shitshow Metalfest, this was down the street and infinitely better. |

| _____________________________________ [Apr 26,2010 8:42am - ouchdrummer ""] this show was awesome. Me AND all of Useful Idiot had a wonderful time, we really did. Tom + crew: you guys really put on a good show. Obviously we would want to do it again whenever we can. That was the best i'd heard scaphism sound, Hard #9 was definitely similar to the black crows, not only in that catchy groovy way, but also in that "they had tons of hot-ass in the crowd" way. Josh is the man for recording, i know that was a pain in the ass, but he stayed on top of it without holding up the show as far as i could tell. TOM - I did NOT leave my bag there, it was in Jimmy's car... and i'll talk to Aaron this morning about his card. lastly - you guys are all real nice for saying the nice words. I frieking LOVE Tool, and have for almost 20years. I've seen them 25 times, and Danney Carey is the reason i started playing drums, so i know better than most how disappointing most Tool tribute bands are... and it feels great to hear that we didn't let anyone down. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 26,2010 9:19am - ShadowSD ""] I saw Tool live at Ozzfest '98, and your drumming was AT LEAST as good if not better, a real highlight of the night. Personally, I'm not as big a fan of their albums as many others because it's very minimalist on the guitar front, and certain songs just got way too much radio play for my taste, but Tool's drum parts really grab you when played live in the way they lead and shape the song, and you nailed them to a tee. Thanks to Tom for putting on such a great show, to Tony for singing, to Mike for doing sound, to Josh for recording everything, and to all of the bands. A special thanks also goes out to marijuana, without whom this show would not have been possible. |

That poor drunk girl in the mosh pit was just trying to follow Tony's directions and rape somebody - and I had to let her down. |
| ___________________________________________ [Apr 26,2010 9:30am - FuckIsMySignature ""] thanks dooods. more good times ahead. |

(same album we played.) REALLY nice for you to say, but i was definitely not better than him live. I think I was pretty close on all the parts, and that's good enough. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 26,2010 9:39am - IvoryandSteel ""] okay, here are links to the pics I did at this show. download and enjoy. Sorry there aren't more of Useful Idiot, I was just enjoying the set so much I wanted to rock out and not take pictures :o) Forced Asphyxiation Suicide Dream Useful Idiot Fuck Everyone |
| ___________________________________________ [Apr 26,2010 9:41am - FuckIsMySignature ""] also sorry to cut out the drum jam... it was either drop it or cut into band's set times. :( Bryan still wants to do it though if we can set it up at another show possibly. |
| _________________________________ [Apr 26,2010 9:45am - RustyPS ""] thanks for the pics! they came out great! |

(same album we played.) REALLY nice for you to say, but i was definitely not better than him live. I think I was pretty close on all the parts, and that's good enough. I was in the lawn for that show, so maybe part of it was being up closer during you guys' set and feeling the natural vibrations of the drums making the parts stand out more; I personally enjoyed watching you guys more. Plus, at the '98 tour, Tool was in between incredible sets by Megadeth and Ozzy; given the comparable lack of melody and harmony with those two, it was hard to sound anything beyond "good" in that slot. Of course, that's a guitarist talking here, I can understand a drummer finding Tool live more interesting than Ozzy live. |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 26,2010 10:42am - IvoryandSteel ""] yes! I enjoyed meeting you and claudia. you guys are awesome! thanks to everyone who smoked me up at the show, I appreciated it. Next time I'll be sure to bring enough to reciprocate. |
| _______________________________ [Apr 26,2010 10:46am - Yeti ""] thanks to Suicide Dream for giving me the opportunity to sing Type O Negative. i've only done it once or twice before, but it was death versions of the songs. that was the first time i've ever actually sang them. from what i could tell We Hate Everyone came out great. |

| ___________________________________ [Apr 26,2010 10:48am - ShadowSD ""] I like picture 19 the best for our pics, it really captures something. I generally hate most photos of myself but that one is of the few live ones of me that I can tolerate, nice work. Can we add any of these to our official website with a credit to you? |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 26,2010 10:54am - IvoryandSteel ""] sure, as always, any of my pics can be used for myspace, facebook, website whatever. credit to me is appreciated, but whatever. I loved the ones of your drummer, lighting just came out really well over by that side of the stage. |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 26,2010 11:03am - ShadowSD ""] Those were cool, too, I also like how you threw in some black and whites with the color photos. |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 26,2010 11:16am - IvoryandSteel ""] I'm trying to get my feet wet with promo shots as well. I love doing live, but I have so much more control with promo type stuff, which I like. My recent promo work can be seen on the Your Pain is Endearing myspace page. I did all the photos for it. If you're ever interested let me know Shadow! |

| ____________________________________ [Apr 26,2010 11:32am - Slag NLI ""] Gents, please let me know the next time comes around where I can play a show. I need some motivation to finish the work I've started and set-up my live rig. Hope the show went well. |
| ____________________________________________ [Apr 26,2010 11:42am - FuckIsMySignature ""] def dude ...everything worked out just fine. we'll fig somethin out for the future |
| ________________________________________ [Apr 26,2010 12:15pm - Alexecutioner ""] Yeti said:the bass tone cut through so well. the bass tone during Useful Idiot's set was SOOOO FUCKING GOOD. god damn that was definitely one awesome set from you guys man. everything sounded spot on, just like the album in my opinion |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 26,2010 12:47pm - Sacreligion ""] Just listened to a rough mix of Hooker with a Penis and it sounds tit. |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 26,2010 12:53pm - josh_hates_you ""] http://www.mediafire.com/?r3inj0wkeiu useful idiot. Super rough mix. It's only levels and minor eq adjustment straight of the mixing board with no compression, editing, effects, phase correction etc. If someone wants to take the time the clean this stuff up and master it I'm pretty sure it would sound awesome. I'll post at least one track from every band by tomorrow. |
| ____________________________________________ [Apr 26,2010 12:57pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] thanks again josh |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 26,2010 1:10pm - Alexecutioner ""] yea man, thanks josh! |

| ______________________________ [Apr 26,2010 3:39pm - Yeti ""] i just meant in general. does it sound horrible? i have no way to hear it. |
| ___________________________________________ [Apr 26,2010 3:51pm - FuckIsMySignature ""] i'm sure its just the vocals that suck :krusty: |
| __________________________________ [Apr 26,2010 5:44pm - ShadowSD ""] Wow, I should never talk into a microphone, I sound like a tool, hahahaha... |
| __________________________________ [Apr 26,2010 5:50pm - ShadowSD ""] Josh, do you happen to have rough mixes of any else from us posted? I'm curious about Life Is Killing Me, I couldn't hear too well during the second half of the set and never got to rehearse any of this with Casey beforehand at practice so I have no idea how my vocals turned out, kind of curious about it. (Perhaps morbidly.) |
