Tool formed in Los Angeles in 1991, in the middle of the grunge era. Vocalist Maynard James Keenan, drummer Danny Carey, guitarist Adam Jones and bassist Paul D'Amour managed to forge a terrifying, claustrophobic sound, the ideal soundtrack for the insanity of an inmate confined in solitary confinement. It is a highly psychological music, which seems to want to open the most hidden ravines of the human psyche, where evil hatches waiting to be triggered by an external stimulus. The sound of Tool does not just reproduce the teachings of the masters of the 70s (certainly Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Blue Oyster Cult), but assimilates the characters of a series of bands that have made the history of the last 20 years of extreme rock .

The aggressiveness of Metallica, the darkness of the Swans, the barbarism of the first Soundgarden, the tediousness of Godflesh echo in a highly spectacular sonic mosaic, somewhat in contradiction with the intent of the band to make existential music. What distinguishes Tool from the myriad of "hard" bands that populated the charts in those years, is the recovery of the progressive 70s, which can already be felt in the first compositions, but which will undeniably reveal itself in the last album, Lateralus.

Macro Mondays - Hand Tool

I call this hand tool a pincher grabber, but am not sure what its technical name is. This tool is over two feet long with a flexible metal shaft. The end shown has a pincher claw for grabbing items like screws that have been dropped where they cannot easily be reached. The other end of the tool has a button for opening and closing the pincher.

It was a tradition for men in some parts of Sumatra to carry a bag of miniature ‘tools’ as part of their wedding costume - symbolising everything he would need in everyday married life. A picture of these antique tools and bag can be seen in comments.

After an absence of several weeks, I hope to be more regular on Flickr as we approach the end of what has been a very busy year.
