“It was with my girlfriend, Carla, and my daughter Mia came, and we met some friends there. And I fucking enjoyed it, I thought they were awesome.”
While he continues to his words, Charlie stated with certainty that the TOOL is the new Rush.
“You know, that band, to me, is… like the new Rush. And not that Tool are new or anything, but – when I think back to Rush and the songs and just the musicianship and just the vibe that they had, I feel like Tool have that now, and I just – I just love them.
“They played songs that I wanted to hear, and I just fuckin’ enjoyed it. I didn’t know that was gonna be the last show that I would see for the year or however long this is gonna be but yeah, that was it.”
