Tool Tickets

Leave the phone in your pocket as the gods of psychedelic metal take you on a journey to yourself! Third time seeing TOOL and hopefully not the last! The band is incredibly tight abd the light show is unparalleled. Ever drum strike from Danny punches you right in the chest. Justin is a bass machine with a great onstage groove. Adam invokes his signature guitar sound flawlessly. The lyrics and voice of Maynard has only improved over the years just "don't go pissing grandpa off"with your damn phone. Go see TOOL if you ever get the opportunity!

The visuals were unbelievable, as always, cause its tool. A bit sad they didn't play more of they older hits, but I regret nothing. Id go again in a heartbeat.

Incredible performance by tool. The band is legendary and their music will be a staple of their era. The stage wasn’t a spectacular build but the lasers were incredible. I also enjoyed the graphics they put up. The bell centre is a large venue, ample food stands and plenty of bathrooms. That being said the venue is not acoustic friendly but the group played to thousands of people allowing their music to be accessible in one show. No choice in venue given their large fandom. All in all, amazing performance by tool! Kudos for telling people to put away their phones!

La qualité des prestations musicales et visuelles étaient encore à la hauteur pour ce show de Tool. Les projections de qualité sur l'immense écran géant étaient une des forces de la soirée. L'étoile qui manque pour un 5 sur 5 est que j'aurais apprécié entendre plus de succès des plus vieux albums.

Excellent musicians, no running around fist pumping and stupidity. Just great music. Danny Carey is on the same level as Neil Peart of Rush

Visuals were amazing and put you in a Trance, and the sound you felt in your Soul. Was a very psychedelic experience. Only negative was they didn't play enough of the classic anthems, but the setlist was still pretty good. Definitely recommend seeing them!!!

Tool is one of the best live shows you will ever see. Musicianship, light show, just nuts. The audience, however, was awful. I couldn't believe it. Talking and unengaged, on the last night of the tour no less. Maynard makes a request to put the cameras away and lo and behold so many people have them out and are openly filming all around, and the venue does little to enforce the rule besides some tepid ushers tapping elbows, "eeehm please don't film."Come on! Throw them out! Embarrassing lack of respect for the artist from the tourists and the venue. It evidently bugged Maynard enough that he commented on it at the end of the show, and sapped some of his enthusiasm. Anyway I still had a great time, I can't dock a point from Tool because Toronto sucks and the management of Scotiabank Arena is spineless.

This was my first concert at Scotiabank and I justified the price as a worthwhile expense to see my favourite band live. I was so disappointed. The acoustics are so terrible that the vocals echoed out into jibberish - the video recording I have has clearer audio than the live event. I say this as a trained musician with really good hearing. Also, having chairs laid out on the whole floor just flat out discourages the crowd from moving, headbanging, and vibing with the music. This was the most lifeless crowd I've ever seen at a metal concert, and before we justify it with half the audience being sextagenarians, Tool fans are also the same demographic and genre as a lot of other bands who perform at smaller venues with actual floor space. The chairs in the venue are good for sports games, terrible for enjoying music. As soon as someone down your row needs to use the washroom it's the awkward movie theater experience of "oh excuse me, oops, sorry"that is jarring for the concert experience. This venue set up a metal show to be viewed like an orchestra and it's just not the ethos of the genre. The artist complained the crowd was lame and people were recording before he allowed them to, but what else is an audience that can't move, flow, or adequately hear the performers going to do? They pull out there phones, get distracted, and I legitimately saw people getting bored. People were bored at a Tool concert!! I saw people in my section sitting down and scrolling on their phones because they got bored!!! Because they were disconnected from the performance! It was a disconnected crowd, at a terrible venue for music, set up in a way that detracts from the metal show experience. Worst concert experience ever and it breaks my heart to say that about a band I love so much. There is no musician out there that justifies the price of seeing a concert at Scotiabank, I'll never go there for another show again.

Heaviest show I may have ever seen. A two-song cameo from Rush's Alex Lifeson before the intermission was the cherry on top!

Great show. The band sounded awesome. The stage show was brilliant. I just wish they played a few more "hits". Love all the music but expect a bit more when doling out do much cash to see them.

It was worth it, I had nose bleeds and got picked by staff and they moved my to the best seat in the house :) I can’t complain !! The lazy show was awesome !!

Best cover ever so far, 29 years old and this has been one the greatest and most astonishing experiences in my whole life. Tool performance was absolutely delirious and insane, lights, music, sound, timing, vibrant, everything was perfect. I'd like to see them again ASAP

Waited so long to see Tool again, well worth the wait. This time up in the 300's , watching the Lighting from that vantage point was mind blowing and images provocative. Listening to Tool always send me to a different place. Their music invokes many different emotions for me. Thanks for the Show and bonus of having Alex Leifson play with them, the Cherry on top.

Tool is obviously a masterful band. Their arrangements and instrumentation are incredible. Danny Carey is one of the best drummers of all time and they really centered him which was amazing. They played one hit, 46&2 and closed with it. While I understand that this is standard Tool, what could be an absolutely electric show turns into just and really solid show. That "Tool sound' drawn out over 12 minute song after 12 minute song starts to get a little repetitive and dare I even say a little boring by the time they finally decided to lower themselves to treat is peons with a hit song. Do your thing Tool, but for real, sprinkle in Schism and Sober and The Pot and feed off of that energy that the crowd will invariably give you because the place will go nuts! Maynard added a little extra mystique to the whole things by always singing from one of the raised platforms and always in the dark. That + no hits is a little too broody for me and knocks the show down from what could easily be a 5++ to a hard 4 leaning toward 3 1/2. When the emperor isn't wearing clothes, I'm gonna say something.

It was an amazing show. I’ve been 6-7 times and think is was the best so far!!

Setlist was WAY too heavy on the new stuff and Maynard's vocal mix was too far back - not enough (any?) clean vocals is getting old. Rosetta Stoned and Chocolate Chip Trip in the same setlist is probably a mistake. Visuals and lighting was peak TOOL though!

I bought Tuesdays shows tickets right after Mondays concert . Amazing both nights

I was excited to see Tool because they have such a cult following. My seats were in nosebleed 301 right by the wall, but the sight lines were very good. After the opening act, the usher offered a bunch of people in my section tickets in the 100 section, so down we went. Great seats, until everyone stood up, which made them not so good seats. I stayed there for 3 songs then went back up to 301 where I was able to chill and enjoy the show. I was a bit disappointed with Tool as I though their music would have been more sonically punishing, and not really knowing any of there songs beforehand, I just let the show unfold in front of me. They had one really good visual of an eye'ss iris, but the rest were mostly creepy computer generations - a bit too dark for me. I was glad I went to the show, but I wouldn't see them again. Thanks for the seat change, that was a really unexpected and very nice touch, and I have an actual unused ticket stub as a souvenir. On to the next show...

I have seen so many live shows in my lifetime, SO many! TOOL is one of the best shows I have ever seen!! I will always see them live from this day forward, truly amazing!! I was overwhelmed with emotion realizing I was really there and that it was finally happening, we all were! The talent of each member of this incredible band is outstanding. Everything about TOOL is outstanding! The lighting, the specials effects, the images on the screens, the sound, ALL of it! I am still on an other level of consciousness 3 days post show just from the experience, no stimulating substances involved just TOOL!

Wanted to see them for years. Did not disappoint! Fantastic light show with lasers and stunning visuals. Would go again!
