I admit the venue has horrible aucoustics (Ahoy, Rotterdam) but i kept thinking WTF??? Waist of time and money, Mastodon 
Tool, well, one of my 2 fav bands  (sound was instantly way better when the Tool sound technician got at the soundboard, still barely listenable at the back. Every one moved forward and downward to get at least a bit better sound).
I've seen quite a few Toolgigs on vid this past year, i think they are unique. Maybe not as hard as a metal metal lover would like though.

I've heard this from several people that catched them in the Tool show, I don't know maybe it is because I've noticed openers seem to be outshined by the main act no matter who they are. I really recommend the album Leviathan, it is fucking mind blowing. I recently catched Mastodon on their own tour at a small venue, despise the fact that it was packed as hell and I could not get in into the main area until the very end (and therefore I could no hear the guitars sounds at all) they were amazing. In the last 2 song when finally it seems they pumped up the guitar sound and I was inside the actual concert venue they totally blew me away, incredible musicians, I can't believe people like Tool over Mastodon, I really can't....
