Subject: I'm E-mailing a reveiw fo the Nov. 1 show in Mesa, AZ. 

The first thing I have to say is that I hurt. That pit was so fucking 
rowdy.
The Cows??!! What in the hell was TOOL thinking when they picked these 
untalented bunch of fucks to go on tour with them? The singer was either 
walking in circles, acting like a robot?!, standing on his head, 
screaming or trying to play what was left of his trumpet. I have to admit 
the music wasn't all that bad, but these guys belonged playing in a High 
school auditorium, not with Tool. The one good thing about them was that 
they only played like four songs. 
Tool was just awsome. It was the first time I ever saw them, but they 
were amazing. Maynard came out with his whole body covered in blue body 
paint except for the boxers. They opened up with Third Eye, which was 
really impressing. Then they played Eulogy, Forty Six & 2, and then they 
went on to a couple of old songs. They played Swamp Song which was awsome 
then Danny soloed for about 2-3 minutes while they started Sober. I 
couldn't say how that was because I was suffocated in between the fence 
near the stage and the thousands of pounds of pushing weight. 
Unfortunately I passed out due to lack of oxygen and missed the whole 
song. After that they played Opiate which they did really well. Then they 
pretended like they were done and left, just to come back and play 
AEnima.
It was definetely the best concert I have ever seen and they guy I went 
with agreed. If Tool would have just had a better opening band it would 
have been perfect.
