Vocal coach sees Tool for the first time: Doctor Strange-ing new realities

"This is a really odd meter they are starting with. This is complicated" - vocal coach Ken Lavigne said in reaction to 'Pneuma' by Tool, watching it for the first time. Coach was watching and reacting mostly to drummer Danny Carey whom he called "a wizard around all these cauldrons... brewing potion”. At the highpoint of the song he stopped and said "I'm new to Tool...and I feel like I have wasted my life", whereas actually, he should be happy about living in a time when there's so much great music, including Tool, who are great again.
