Paul is sorely missed.

This is so fucking dope

The Bass riffs on Undertow have long made it my favorite album. Paul’s playing has more punch than ‘89 Mike Tyson. However, the man himself is pretty cunty. When the Lesser Key album (so great, make another one) came out myself and my friends and bandmates were the only people who knew who they were and got pretty much a private show at a small club. Paul locked the keys to the tour van in it. I had AAA so I had them come unlock the van and bought everyone in the band a beer till they got there. Myself and my buddy even helped them load their gear up to help out. Everyone in Lesser Key was super cool, except Paul. He acted like a total prick even though we were the only ones there to see his band, I got his van opened for him and loaded up his goddamn gear for him! That being said he’s still one of my favorite musicians. Being a great artist and being an asshole go hand in hand sometimes. Justin really murdered it on 10, 000 Days but I feel he has taken a minimalist approach since. Every time I listen to 7empest I just can help but feel it’s Adam’s best guitar work ever and JC just plays the same bassline for 7 minutes and doesn’t do it justice. But the bass on Rosetta Stoned is some of the best playing ever. Let’s get Tool at The Sphere in Vegas for 4 nights: 1st night Opiate and Undertow with Paul on the Bass, and another album each night with terrifying graphics 200ft tall behind them. Make it happen some rich promoter somewhere.

12:32 Sounds like a dream.

I kinda prefer this version of maynards' vocals in pushit. Instead of whispering the beginning lyrics, he talks them.

I have to wonder where Paul is these days. He definitely added a creepy factor to the sound that made them what they've become. I dig JC, but Paul has more bottom end and punch to it. I first heard Tool in 94 and was immediately bitch slapped by the bass. I think if he and the band are still getting along it would be stellar to see him and the band reunite for a few gigs. Double stuff like Oreos ...this is killer, thanks for sharing. Question Authority, Think For Yourself...🤯👽

Amazing ❤

"relax, turn around and take my hand" has a whole new meaning in the context of an*al fisting huh ✊🏻

How did someone aquire these tapes ??

I was buying the bootleg VHS tapes of their live shows prior to AEnima releasing and these early version of those songs always hit harder than the studio mix on that album for me.

So good. Such an addicting clip.

Watching Letterman with my folks was some of my favorite memories growing up. The moment he left was the beginning of the death of cable. I wish I woulda caught this live. I’ve been a Tool fan since 2006, but I didn’t find APC or Puscifer til after I graduated in 2012. Conditions is probably still my favorite album they’ve made, but they’re all amazing honestly. Carina Round is the icing on the cake.

Why does UA-cam serve these on my suggestions only now after 12 years?

You can tell david bottril was a great choice on this album. Can’t be understated.

love this

Holy $hit this is badass

Paulyyyy!

"What if she is a Zombie, or a Dracula?" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Self censoring bicycle horn by the mic. Pure gold. Btw, in Europe we do not hear censored US versions, only original uncensored stuff. Daily on radio, tv or internet.

Noice

Paul Schaefer almost stole this performance. I cannot listen to the studio version anymore because this is 10000x cooler

Paul’s synth went absolutely ballistic

Fluck me, Paul was behind some of the great basslines on Aenima as well!?!?! Here i thought Chancellor helped create this album. Damnit Paul, imagine what masterpieces wed have today had he not left between, in my opinion, Tool's 2 best albums. Whats worse, he left cuz he wanted to play guitar.... but has only played bass since, as hes the bassist with Ministry. At least with Tool, a more artistic style driven band, his bass meant more and had more behind it. Hell, he was known for his tone with the Undertow album, which im sure hooked many listeners.

is the first one a demo or is it live

They certainly produced sound.😬

This is pretty rad, but not as rad as Scott Stapp at Seaworld.

im late to the party but so were these demos, thanks for sharing...i actively listened to this band for many years and downloaded anything i could possibly find related to them, but never stumbled onto this one

I think this is a perfect example that you could say when you change one band member you change a little of the Dynamics about a band. Now I remember why I enjoyed Paul Bass so much. Quite honestly I enjoy both Bass styles. But I think Paul doesn't get the recognition he so deserves for his sound.

pretty much a perfect performance.

Paul Schaeffer is the real deal

Sometimes I think part of what makes the old tool sound better. Is the old equipment. Part of their sound was their equipment and they've upgraded it over the years. And there's just nothing you can really do to get that unique sound back. Do a great job they're still good at what they do but there's never going to be the original sound.

The scream at the end of anima. Probably one of his longest recorded screams.

Does anybody know what he’s saying at 3:28? I’m also wondering what he’s saying at the part of the chorus where in the studio version he says show me that you love me and we belong together.

Style different changed when he joined!

The beginnings of the greatest album ever

D'Amour is great

I like a lot about these, but most of the things they changed were worth it. Still cool to hear a lot of great ideas they didn't end up using tho.

dat drummer man!

Love MJK & Puscifer! But anyone else notice how Letterman got out of the swamp just in time?? 😂😂 every other late night host has turned to complete scum talking puppet heads & zero humor.

Puscifer actually made late night television watchable.

Definitely preferred Tool’s music with Paul in the fold. Where more of a “forward thinking hard rock band” then the straight up Prog-Rock act that they are now

Best demo ever

i love pussey fur 😍😍😍

i am still hoping that someday they will release a remix of this song feat. Paul Schaeffer.. it'll be such a phenomenal mix.. CONDITIONS OF MY PAROLE (Schaeffer Mix)

Paul Schaefer's synth solo at the end was straight up the rule.

Justin is badass, don't get me wrong. But......Paul is the fucking man.

Great performance and Paul brought it home!

Telefon Tel Aviv looks nice in a suit.

David Letterman's pianist put the icing on the cake 🍰!

Basically undertow maynard sings some AEnima songs lol
