A Bowl of Stupid

I received favorable responses from several friends with respect to the “unauthorized” video I posted yesterday for Tool’s latest release, The Pot. Hell, I’ve personally found myself watching the video over and over again today. It’s a great tune. And just now, Marc Rapp over at Uniquely the Epitome posted a follow-up with another great unauthorized video from that same director.

Marc’s post got me thinking about the first video I had ever seen for one of Tool’s songs, their classic “Sober.” That song is the epitome of Tool’s underlying aesthetic and sound. It also gives you a glimpse at how the vocals of lead singer, Maynard James Keenan, have evolved and strengthened since Sober was first released in 1994. It is also one of the creepiest, disturbing, and utterly brilliant music videos I’ve ever seen.

So, I apologize if this is turning into “Tool Week” over here at The Bowl, but restating what I’ve said in the past – it’s my damn blog and I can do whatever the fuck I please. That’s not to say anyone will ever read it again if this keeps up, but that’s for another day. Okay, watch this video, preferably on some sort of powerful hallucinogen.

Tool – Sober

P.S. Yes Kang, I said “Tool” again. He-he, uh, he-he.
