Too Much Rock Band On My Mind

...and it's led me to contemplate what songs I would pay a pretty penny to pretend to rock out to. On my list of all-time must haves would have to include Forty Six and Two, a old Tool joint from 1996, my favorite part illustrated below.

That clip really doesn't capture it fairly, as this comes after six minutes of build up. Even so, it's not hard to imagine a 13 year old, angst-ridden version of myself, air-drumming this bad boy out in the shadow of my blacklight Tool poster (maybe it was even a tapestry? you could get a lot of weird stuff at tower records back then).

So come on, Harmonix. Let's get something brutal on this list.
