During a Tool concert sometime ago Danny Carey and Justin Chancellor were holding down the rhythm section, Adam Jones was strumming a melody over an odd time signature, and Maynard James Keenan was crooning about his deepest emotions. Ænima had been released, and the set contained one of many album favorites, Pushit. Good times were being had by all when suddenly a rouge fan made his way onto the stage and found himself as the proverbial "victim" of the song after finding out that Maynard is fluent in Jujitsu . The following is (edited)video of the event.
The guy in the suit (Nathan) came out and sung his own part, but because of youtube time constrictions it was edited out
Now, I can't stand the assholes who ruin shows by being dicks during songs by jumping up on stage, throwing beers, using lasers, or any of that shit. But it had to of been bad ass to be that guy. Maynard essentially dedicated the song to him when he got him in that choke hold, mounted him, and wrapped the mic chord around him. Can you imagine what it would be like to have Maynard singing:
"Staring down the hole again.
Hands upon my back again.
Survival is my only friend.
Terrified of what may come.
Just remember I will always love you,
Even as I tear your fucking throat away.
But it will end no other way."
right into your ear at one of their shows? I'd cream my pants more than a pedophile playing Santa. And that's why this is one of the greatest moments in concert history.
