Would love to see Tool at Coachella...

[RotationSlimWang]

That too. Although frankly, the fucking long-ass drum break (when I saw them, the dude from Meshuggah came out to solo with Danny) in the middle of all that was a bit much for me to put up with, even with 10 oz of Robitussin in my belly.

Oh, and they played H. That was fucking amazing. This tour I got to hear Opiate, which was equally rare but just didn't have the transcendence of the "as the snake is drowned" interlude. That shit put the zap on me, like I always knew it would.

And as much as I love Aenema as a closer (particularly when you're living in LA, heh), Lateralus definitely has/had the more powerful crescendo.

[Mr. Dylanja]

I could listen to Danny Carey hit pencils on a desktop for hours, let alone his massive drum kit with his double-bass altering my heartbeat and his gong jarring my brain loose! Guy is gonna be ahead of his time 30 yrs from now!

I've caught them 5 times on the 10,000 days tour and have been pretty damn lucky.....

Gammage Auditorioum- Lipan Conjuring, The Patient and Right in Two
Theatre Under the Stars- Opiate
Tuscon Convention Center- Pushit
Bonnaroo-Flood (full intro)

They also closed all those shows with Aenima, I agree about Lateralus as a better closer. It just is so uplifting it makes you want to go do something positive. Although Aenima is always welcome when watching them here in "Arizona Bay".

The 5th time was @ Cricket Pavillion which was the worst cuz some moron hit maynard in the head with a bottle resulting in instrumental versions of The Pot and 46 & 2. I was second row from the rail, blazing spliffs left and right tho so it was still incredible!

[RotationSlimWang]

As a drummer (well, former, but you never really stop) I admire Danny to no end--probably my favorite drummer from any band ever. Nonetheless, I have a staunch anti-solos stance--that shit is fucking boring.

The Salival versions of Pushit and even more so Third Eye would throw any show over the top for me. I wonder if they're ever going to do those again.

Gammage Auditorioum- The Patient and Right in Two

That was a good night. It was also the night the Suns stomped the Lakers in Game 7 (the one where Kobe wouldn't shoot).

Were these two songs not played much on the tour?

[Mr. Dylanja]

Not much at all, The Patient less than a handful of times early on in the tour. It seems like they weren't sure how they wanted the set list to go and used this as sort of a fill-in.

Right in Two I just don't think they had it all the way down pat so they used it sparingly as well. More recently it has been showing up quite a bit more often.

I totally forgot the Gammage show is also THE ONLY TIME EVER that they've played LIPAN CONJURING!

5/6/06-I watched the Lakers game, actually it was the SUNS game! I'm glad it was a blowout cuz I was afraid I was going to miss some of the show if it came down to the wire. For the record Danny Carey wore his Kansas jersey that night, knowing the crowd what not be happy seeing him in purple and gold. After that series coincidentally he started wearing a MATRIX jersey!!!

Sidenote: Exactly one year to the day later 5/6/07 I saw them in Tucson (pretty weird I thought).

[R3d Snapper]

So uh, the rumors are true.

[R3d Snapper]

46 AND 2 ARE JUST AHEAD OF ME

[Ill_Eagle]

HOLY SHITASS im going.

[Boourns]

Fuck. I wonder if there's a chance of hearing H. or Pushit (Salival) at either of those shows.

[Ill_Eagle]

Fuck. I wonder if there's a chance of hearing H. or Pushit (Salival) at either of those shows.

Holy shit i would love to hear h. and pushit live.

i was watching some videos of h. live, damn that shit is intense

[Boourns]

Oooh, I know. Sigh, why can't they play H. every show instead of 46 & 2 or Stinkfist (they are great, don't get me wrong, but variety is the spice of life, especially when there's an even spicier spice available)

[PassiveTheory]

I went to the first SD show, which was alright, but I'd trade the borefest that was the Wings for Marie two-parter for Pushit (which they played the second night... >>; ).

[Boourns]

I heard Pushit (not the Salival version, though) and Prison Sex in 2001. That was a great show.

[clarky123]

I saw a few people at coachella who had clearly not seen their "Tool" for a long time!

[brando4n82]

Holy Shit! It is official!! This is gonna be one hell of a show. they better pull some classics out for this one. I'm talking some Hooker with a Penis, H, or Eulogy. And give me at least two songs from Opiate

[RotationSlimWang]

Well I'll be goddamned. Wonder how much this shit's going to cost. If poorness keeps me out of those shows somebody's getting shot.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Man o man, those boys better come to PHX or be at Vegoose or I might have to start whoring myself to get to a Cali show (maybe at Vegas 2 get 2 Cali?). So someone is going to hook up the presale password right? Pleez.

[disgustipated]

This will sell out pretty quick...


I bet it's already sold out, actually.


remember kids, don't tell anyone... until monday.

[disgustipated]

I went to the first SD show, which was alright, but I'd trade the borefest that was the Wings for Marie two-parter for Pushit (which they played the second night... >>; ).

You're kidding right?

Putting "borefest" in any conversation about Tool is enough to get yourself a good old-fashioned beat down.

You obviously know jack shit if you think Wings/10,000 days is a borefest.

[Mr. Dylanja]

They took the LA dates down off of Ticketmaster......

Looks like somebody let it slip.

[disgustipated]

see...sold out already.

[Mr. Dylanja]

I dont think so, yesterday it said tickets go on sale this Fri 9/7/07. Tool's management probably had it pulled off until it is officially official.

God I hope they come to PHX and play the USAC!

10,000 Days is an exercise in mediocrity. Sorry.

it was a joke...



I personally think 10,000 days is one of their best tracks. It is their most personal, something they have never done. It represents where this band is at in this point in its career.


Mediocre it is not.

[BlueDevil50]

any idea when these tickets will actually go on sale?

[disgustipated]

what tickets?

[brando4n82]

today it said tickets go on sale saturday at 10am, but i guess that means nothing now

[R3d Snapper]

Blair on toolarmy, being the useless cunt that he usually is, apparently has no knowledge of these 2 dates. But someone did some investigating and...

"I called ticketmaster first and they said they dont know why it showed tool and not showing now. So then I called staples center, which is doing the nokia tickets. Staples center said it must be aproblem with the website, but tool is playing there on oct 31st and november first and that tickets are going on sale this saturday. Hope this was helpful"

[Sladokusac]

saw them 2 days ago. for the 11th time now. the worst show ever. only 8 songs. maynard out of form. god bless those 2001 dates when they played for 2 hours+, with pushit, H, the grudge, parabola and 3 tracks from undertow in the set list.

[disgustipated]

Blair on toolarmy, being the useless cunt that he usually is, apparently has no knowledge of these 2 dates.

He (acts like) has no knowledge because the dates, as far as the band is concerned, are not confirmed yet. He is playing TA for the gullible sheep a majority of them are. You should read between the lines, and take most of what he says as bullshit.


edit: for the record I believe the dates are confirmed, just not the on sale dates.
