Article Views: 21 February gave us a couple of special things this year. An extra day, and on that extra day, we had the privilege to experience a Porno For Pyros show in Toronto for the first time since 1996. A 28-year hiatus from visiting town that most thought would be permanent. But Perry Farrell had other plans. He got the band back together and fired up the machine again for one last tour. The “Horns, Thorns en Halos Farewell Tour” rolled into Toronto’s premiere venue, History.

Article Views: 8 Toronto’s intimate dive bar venue, Lee’s Palace, was host to a couple of veteran ’90s heavy, nu, alt, rap-metal bands this past week. Fort Lauderdale’s Nonpoint on their “A Million Watts” tour, along with Huntington Beach’s Hed PE as direct support, took the century-old building by the balls and held the 500-capacity crowd tight for a ride through their shiny new tracks and well-worn classics.

Article Views: 2 Prog-metal heavyweights Tool took their place at Scotiabank Arena for the first of two sold-out nights in a row. “We love Toronto,” frontman Maynard James Keenan announced early in the show. “You gotta be louder than Montreal, though,” to which the crowd roared their approval. Tool shows are always a feast for the eyes, ears and soul. These shows are heavy, pounding, intense, compelling, as well as sometimes soft and thought-provoking.
