Watch RAMMSTEIN SET FIRE TO TOOL’S STAGE DURING PERFORMANCE

Tool put on an epic arena-filling stage show, but they’ve never been ones for pyro. Their vibe is more psychedelic, with hallucinogenic projections and trippy lasers. In 2011, when Maynard, Adam, Justin and Danny played Australia’s Big Day Out festival, they were somewhat unwilling introduced to the wonders of fire and lots of it by those German masters of conflagration Rammstein. While the latter band’s drummer Christoph Schneider battled Tool’s Danny Carey, Rammstein singer Till Lindemann and guitarist Paul Landers took the stage with massive blowtorches, blasting flames above the crowd and the instrumentalists, before setting their bandmate’s kit on fire. Schneider gamely continued to play until it became impossible, the inferno consuming his drums while the audience lost their minds. The scene was insane enough that Keenan took out out his cellphone to capture it, cracking, “I’m gonna turn these photos in to my lawyer.”
