If you were to go out with a guy that fell asleep at a Tool concert, would you go on a second date? I wouldn’t either.
During an interview with Guitar Player magazine, she discussed ten different albums that had a big impact on her. When she mentioned Tool’s Lateralus, she said it impacted her love for music, but also for a more *personal* reason. She said:
I had a s*****y waitress job, and I got us tickets to see Tool at Hershey Park. I was so stoked. Then Arejay did something to piss off our parents, so they wouldn’t allow him to go. I thought, “Okay, this could be an opportunity to ask somebody out on a date, which I did. I asked this guy Nate, and he said yes.
I was like, “Sweet!” We didn’t have great seats, but it didn’t matter — the show was amazing. Halfway through, I looked at my date and saw that he had fallen asleep — total deal-breaker for me.
So, in a weird way, Tool’s ‘Lateralus’ was a life-changer. My brother still teases me about it: “I wouldn’t have fallen asleep.
I would’ve totally done the same. Read more of the interview from Guitar Player magazine HERE.
