07.18/19.2010 - Los Angeles, CA @ Nokia

[SadSummerSea]

Feel free to discuss your brooding excitement. A new thread will be opened (post performance) for reviews ONLY.

[hi8is]

Any news yet on an onsale date for tickets?

[EGG-MAN]

Any news yet on an onsale date for tickets?

I would imagine fairly soon considering the SD show went on sale today...

[yerom17]

any word yet as to tickets/ has anyone gotten their june 4th tickets yet in the mail?

[hi8is]

Incase anyone missed it - from toolband.com

TICKETS go ON SALE this FRIDAY, JUNE 25 at 10 am.

[objectsession]

does anyone have an idea of how much of the venue was sold (out) last time? like, if you bought tickets later in the time frame when they were on sale, what did you end up with? just want to get a sense of what to expect on friday.

my last tool concert was kind of ruined by bad seating (way off to the side in the back . . sound was really unclear . . this was in toronto last summer), so i might skip the concerts if i don't get something i know will be good.

thanks!

[hi8is]

Even though we now know tickets go onsale at ten am on friday - we still don't know where the tickets will be on sale at.

Ticketmaster still doesn't have anything posted :(

I'm gonna go cry now.

[hi8is]

Tickets are listed on ticketmaster now!

Woot Woot!!

39.50 - 85.50

[sonnyboy11]

Now that they've allowed people who bought tickets for the cancelled Wednesday show to exchange for either Sunday's or Monday's show it's goin to limit even further the seats available for this coming Friday's "re-sale". Only advice I can give is don't snooze on it. Call up TM about 10 minutes before the on-sale at 10am and then have the rep search while you search online. Snap up whichever seats look best (TM reps almost always get better seats than online)

[tool-n-die]

is this show definitely at the Nokia Theater?

[objectsession]

thanks for the information. now, i'm considering shooting for a cheaper ticket, since $85 sounds like a lot. any opinions on nokia theatre itself and the different seating areas?

and does anyone know the price for the different areas? (the range is on ticketmaster, but don't the prices for each section.) thanks!

[objectsession]

great, thanks! i think the center loge sections are exactly what i'll shoot for.

[deadwinterskies]

I'm thinking I'm going to try for some center Mezzanine.

[SJC91]

I'm thinking I'm going to try for some center Mezzanine.

Same here...Ive got tix for SD...Im not trying to spend an arm and a leg

[SJC91]

Well, just found out my buddy can't go, so it looks like I will be flying solo to the show.
Anyone want to meet in the lobby and have some drinks beforehand? Nothing like $8 rum and cokes to help ease in to the night.

Do I have to be 21? haha

[SJC91]

Got my center Mezzanine tickets :D Row C seats 305-306

[objectsession]

loge L 310. i feel very centered.

[deadwinterskies]

18th: Loge row S seats in low 400s.
19th: Mezzanine row A. Seats in the low 200s. Hope this is front row.

[deadwinterskies]

To slash my wrist, it's up and down, not side to side, right? I want to make sure I do it right the first time.

Down the block, not across the street.......

[markuspoop]

Long story short, I had to close it out. No tickets for poor little Quantum.

Who are u taking to the show? I'm taking my sis, have so for the last couple of shows!

[markuspoop]

If anyone wants to have a meet-n-greet with the infamous "markuspoop" before the show on the 19th it shouldn't be a problem.

Oh, and the Lakers suck and Kobe is not only an adulterer but he's also a rapist.

...jealousy.


Can we punch you in the face at this meet-n-greet? ;)

[sonnyboy11]

Ah, Laker/Kobe hatred- aka jealousy because your fave team never wins squat!! I love it!! No matter what you say, we are still the best team in the league and Kobe is still MV frickin P!

Sunday show I'll have a beer with anyone who wants to meet up. If we want to do one inside the venue, there are typically two bars on either side of the merch booth which is usually set up dead center. Just have to pick one to meet around.

Alternately, I live 5 minutes drive away from Nokia so plan is to be at LA Live and line up a bit early so I'll have a crack at special edition t shirts. So if peeps would rather have a brew or 3 outside at some place like the Yardhouse I could easily be persuaded.

[markuspoop]

Lol c'mon. I'm just busting chops. Really indifferent on the Lakers/Celtics finals.

As for the LA shows, cant wait.

[hi8is]

Hi Guys - I ended up with 2 extra single seats for Sunday night.
One is 307 GG ( ORCH )
another is 219 HH ( ORCH )

Am just looking to sell for face.
Email me if interested at:
tcaesar <at> gmail <dot> com

[markuspoop]

anyone know where I can pick up a "Kobe's an Adulterer" shirt to wear to the show?

I kid, I kid.

[SJC91]

I just found out I WILL be in town on the 18th...would anyone be willing to trade me one decent ticket for an autographed poster from their Pomona date last tour?

[aevasquez]

dude im totally down!!! i'll hit you up as it gets closer.

[Dylanja]

Can we fast forward please?

[mhovis]

I'm going to the Sunday night show. If anyone needs a ride, I live in Santa Clarita and provided you don't live too far out of the way I can pick you up. Just share the parking cost. I have room for 3 people
Email me if interested at:

[deadwinterskies]

Mailman delivered my tix for both shows today. Sweet.

[deadwinterskies]

BTW, has it been confirmed who's opening for Tool these shows? Dalek? Wolfsheim?

[SJC91]

I dont think theyve confirmed anyone yet...Dalek isnt supporting them for much longer...the most recent one that was mentioned was Jello Biafra for Sacramento and S.F.

[kabir]

i will be at the monday show, fwiw.

I might be interested in the single ticket you have for sale. I live in Vancouver WA and might be flying down to catch the show there and if so I will be searching for a ticket. If you could keep this thread updated on whether you sell them or not that would be great. I should know later this week for sure and I will get back to you on here if they are still availible.

Thanks
Jake

[SJC91]

No problemo man...I doubt Ill sell the single ticket anytime soon but the pair is gonna go fast...Ive already had a ton of texts about it

[aquacaldo]

Im going to be there, can't wait!

[tonguedrop]

Myself and some friends will be hitting up a Psy-Trance daytime dance party in Woodley Park (Burbank, CA) before the Tool show on 7/18.

Alot of psychedelic heads hanging out and great exchanging of knowledge and experience. If anyone would like to meet up and hang out there before the show private message me here and we'll get down with it. Its only about 20 miles from the venue. Best of all its FREE :)

see greensector.com for details

SPIRAL OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Dylanja]

I really hope we get a Danny solo during Lateralus at one of the LA shows.

[kabir]

alright so who all is going to the final show?

[livid star]

I'll be in SD tonight then at both LA shows :)

Where are you sitting?

[DHutch7]

Just putting this out there, if anyone wants to pick up an extra unsigned poster, I will trade you a Kansas City unsigned poster for it.

[athirdeye85]

Feel free to discuss your brooding excitement. A new thread will be opened (post performance) for reviews ONLY.

Does any one know why maynard is not singing the last part of Vicarious? Its my favorite part and he hasnt been singing it kinda bumbed

[markuspoop]

alright so who all is going to the final show?

I'll totally be there. I may even wear a tshirt that says "Lady Gaga > Tool"

[forty6and2]

Going to the Sunday show =) My boyfriend and I have seen them 3 times. We've got orchestra tickets, row K so we're pretty excited. Best tickets we've had so far! We met some really cool people for the last show at Staples, so hopefully we'll run into some cool peeps again. If anyone is down to meet up before or after, feel free to send a message! We're not gonna be able to get to the area till about 7pm though.

[cirkus]

I can't wait to see what the setlist change is from night to night. I mean, having Intension would be awesome in itself! Anyone hear any soundcheck rumors?


Also, check my post in the ticket hookup thread, I have excellent pairs for both nights. Face value OBO. bradonthemoon(at)hotmail(dot)com. Thanks!

[forty6and2]

[begmetostay]

omfg. my older sister in la just told me she might be able to get me a ticket. I'm fucking flying out tomorrow if' that's possible

[sonnyboy11]

[SHbassGTR]

Would anybody be kind enough and able to grab me an unsigned poster for each night? I just know these last two are going to be great! I'm stuck in TX so won't be making it to LA. I don't have the money to be buying them off of ebay but I can pay for the shipping as well as the posters themselves. Any extra money I have is yours too for doing me the favor. I'm willing to pay up to $100 for the set. Please PM me if this is a possibility.

* I also have a signed poster from Houston I would be willing to trade for a set of unsigned LA posters.

[ladycommish]

doesn't seem to be a whole lot of meeting places in the venue. anyone familiar with the venue or any ideas, so kabir can get his drink on?

[markuspoop]

I've changed my mind and decided to wear a tshirt that says, "Dane Cook Sucks"

[sonnyboy11]

I've changed my mind and decided to wear a tshirt that says, "Dane Cook Sucks"

I think I'll be "that guy" and wear a Tool shirt. I also plan to yell "Toooooool" often during the show and at completely inappropriate times.

So, for meet up, here's what I remember about Nokia

The merch table is straight up the center as you walk inside. Given that it will get insanely busy there early, I think I will line up around 6:30. Doors are at 7:30, I think? Anyone know for sure? Is that maybe not early enough? Someone pls fukin tell me! :P

To either side of the merch booth are two bars, iirc- one to the left and one to the right. I am going to chill at the one on the LEFT (as you face the seating entrance). The line will be stupid long of course. Anyway, you won't be able to miss me- I'll have a goofy white and striped hat on and look entirely too much like a gangly dork with an attitude problem. Easy!

Also, I'll probably be at LA Live around 5pm. Plan is to grab a beer at the Yard House if anyone wants to look for me there

http://www.yardhouse.com/CA/los_angeles/


Quick note- for peeps with my cell number, the damn thing gave up the ghost today (brand new phone too) so don't try and ping me on that. Shoot me a message here instead and I'll check before I go. I know who Kabir and Angel are already but others just keep an eye out for me.

Cya there biatches!

[AcridMemory]

Im so stoked for tomorrow night! I have a question, I have seen many comments online saying that Tool doesnt play Aenima in LA out of quote "respect".....is that true??? I certainly hope not, this is my first show in LA, and I was seriously hoping to hear them play it....anyone know if thats true? ever heard it played in LA?

[sonnyboy11]

^LOL! Tool... respect LA?? Haahhaha!

[tooldude]

no definitely not true. you can plan on hearing it

[forty6and2]

LOL.. Last time I saw Tool @ the Staples Center for the 10,000 days tour, and they most certainly played Aenima!! I'm pretty sure there was some trash talking of LA too, but I was pretty stoned, so I could be wrong.

I know I'm new here and all, but my bf and I would love to meet up with some people as crazy about Tool as we are for some drinks, so if anyone wants to chill before the show, and/or during the opening act, let me know!

edit: I'm sure people here have seen them at the Nokia in LA before and been near my area that I'll be sitting. Just curious if I'm going to have a really good view of the stage from row K of Orch, in the 500 section. We got on Ticketmaster just before 10am on the sale date, and this was the best we could get.

[your_halo]

I'll be there for the Monday show. Can't wait- will be my 8th show. Row A on the Mezz

you giving them away!!! lol

lol I wish I coould man :(

[hexfactor]

Ok, so in preparation for a friend of mine possibly bailing out on me due to work, I may have an extra ticket for the 19th. I am not asking for monetary compensation but it would be nice if you could be my ride as I would have to bus it otherwise and possibly buy me a drink if you are 21+ but neither is required though it would be nice. Since I am giving it away I should be allowed to be at least a lil picky as to who I go with so here are my preferences (and please do not be offended):

Female Tool Fan
Taper
Guitar Player
Jesus
The Dalai Llama

in that order, but if you can mix and match any of those you get further up the list.

These are Orchestra seats 12th row.

I guess I'll go to the bar and get shit faced so that everyone will notice me as I interupt their experience with my antics.

[Psilo]

see you tonight!

[godhenry]

anybody else who may have an extra ticket for the last show?

[Andorion]

... Gone!

[livid star]

I'm running on 2.5 hours of sleep. Seriously, so excited to be in LA (for the first time), knowing I'm seeing Tool again. Yes, I know the set list will be the same as usual for tonight, but I can't help fantasizing about hearing PUSHIT!

Off to Ross to buy shoes that I forgot to pack. Do you know how retarded I felt going to the show last night in sandals?!

[kabir]

ok so no ideas on where to meet up? as I recall there's a place to get a drink after you enter the venue and go up a big escalator to the right.

maybe there, after the opening band? I'll be roughly there, w my very blonde gf, so see you there maybe?

also anyone who has an extra ticket, I have a friend who could use one, willing to pay for it. email me (not Pm) at [email protected] if you want. I'll be on airplanes all day getting back to la but have a layover in Chicago so can check email then.

[forty6and2]

Anyone have 2 extra tickets for tonight? I'd prefer the cheapest tickets I can find =) By the grace of all higher powers, if you truly can't use them, can't sell them and would wind up giving them away outside the door, please PM me...I'm desperate to go to the show tonight, but broke as hell after last night. Last night just wasn't enough. If they play Intolerance and The Patient, I'm going to be devastated should I not be able to go =( Call me at 661-476-0499 if you can help me!

[taxicabgod]

I'll be there for the Monday show. Can't wait- will be my 8th show. Row A on the Mezz

BTW: First time at LALive- hows the view?

i'll be there tonight in mezz, row a also!
my 17th or so Tool show but my nephews 1st.
he should be blown away.

not sure how the view is up there.
i've only had way close orchestra seats for Tool there a few years ago and also had loge there for QOTSA once.

i had to bail on the S. Diego show as I had work shit i couldn't escape.
so i am ready for this for sure!

[taxicabgod]

anyone know where I can pick up a "Kobe's an Adulterer" shirt to wear to the show?

I kid, I kid.

'it's only wrong if you get caught'

i was at a Mets @ Indians game a few weeks ago and a guy had a typical player / number steeler t-shirt. but it was spelled 'rapistburger'.

[aevasquez]

Maynard was all into it!!! I flipped his ass off when he said see you in Arizona bay!!! bastard!!! lol

They'd love to play Ænema at LA I think. ;)

[sonnyboy11]

Ænema was off the charts good. The whole damn show was incredible! Tonight's gettin close! I'll see if I can find that bar at top of escalator. Head's still a bit wonky after yesterday's debauchery but I'll get in a nap and be good to go. (sux bein old)

[jdpoaps]

If anyone wants to meet up for a drink before hand and talk tool, shoot me an email at jdpoaps @ gmail .com (note the spaces, spam protection). I am visiting here from Toronto on business, so I'm heading to the show alone. it'll be my 9th time seeing tool, and didnt want to miss this one. Even if it meant going alone.

I'll have my blackberry on me, so shoot me an email if youre game.

Cheers

[markuspoop]

For those who were at the show last night, how easy was it to spark up a jammer or 2 once the show started?

[livid star]

NO problems in that area. watch out for dancing bitches that like to knock beer out of your hands, though. =(

[forty6and2]

NO problems in that area. watch out for dancing bitches that like to knock beer out of your hands, though. =(

Hey, everyone's just having a good time, though with the prices of the alcohol there, I'd be irritated with that too.

I thought the security there would be a little tougher, so I left my stash in the car, but there were plenty of people around sparking up, so I wish I had brought mine.

[jdpoaps]

How nuts were they about cameras? Would I be able to bring in a small point and shoot or is that a no no?

[LnL37]

View from the mezz is great. I had row A tix too that I gave away already but, will still be there in orch tonight row x. The good thing about Nokia mezz is not only a great view but you get great lazer effects up there as they shoot above and below your line of sight...

[LnL37]

For those who were at the show last night, how easy was it to spark up a jammer or 2 once the show started?

was funny last night as soon as the lights went down I saw no less than 5 people spark up right around me(including myself). I think thats the best time to light up as there were still people heading in and security/ushers are somewhat busy.

There was a point during the show where some people on our aisle lit up and an usher-lookin lady came rambling down the aisle and pretty much just scolded them and left...so keep an eye out if it's later in the show.

[LnL37]

How nuts were they about cameras? Would I be able to bring in a small point and shoot or is that a no no?

I personally didn't see any of this but, apparently cameras were getting confiscated left and right. I had to 'check' my chain and when I went down to get it afterward there was a line of about 100 waiting to get their cameras back...


that being said, not enough were confiscated! Cameras kept popping up in my line of sight...

[LnL37]

...oh and I was sporting my Kobe jersey-shirt loud and proud for the haters :)

I think I'll wear my Artest one tonight...

[jdpoaps]

Were they being confiscated before getting in (i.e. security check/pat down) or as people used them, security spotted them?

Reason I ask, is i'd like to take photos outside of the venue, and not necessarily at the concert itself. I'm not from around here so wanted to take some shots of downtown.

[LnL37]

I really don't know...I never actually saw any get taken. I took in my phone no problem but, the camera on it is shitty anyways...

[mhovis]

GO TO THE BOTTOM LEVEL FOR DRINKS. There is rarely more than 1 or 2 people in line.

I got a warning last night for using the camera on my phone. meanwhile two rows in front of me this chick never stopped recording on her digital camera,

[Ilovelatool]

I was wearing my Lakers jersey last night too!...There were no pat downs, you will just walk inside the metal detector and put your metal items in a canister.

[LnL37]

I saw a couple Laker jerseys...even a Vujacic! I also saw a dude wearing a shirt with your "California's finest" black mamba on it. Mine's just a $20 gold shirt with the jersey graphics...

[jdpoaps]

I was wearing my Lakers jersey last night too!...There were no pat downs, you will just walk inside the metal detector and put your metal items in a canister.

No pat downs. Perfect. I just don't want to have to go back to my car and drop off the cam. Sitting at espn bar, can't wait.

Soooo jealous. Wish I would have bought tickets for the 19th too.. You guys got Intension, EBA, The Patient AND The Pot?!?! You lucky lucky bastards....

[MFF0RD6]

don't forget about intolerance! but the pot was probably the most unexpected. and to hear intension live was surreal and all-encompassing

Was at the show last night and it was mediocre at best, and that's me being as nice as possible.

I yawned many times throughout the show.

From the videos I've seen, it looked like it was an amazing show.. You sure you were at the right show?

haters gotta be hatin' or else they don't get paid.

this is the same type of guy who will say he's seen the show x amount of times, was fully informed via this website but yet still went to the show.

What's funny is that you all can't pick up and/or detect obvious sarcasm.

Truth is, after Third Eye I turned to my gf and told her that just that song with the visuals that accompanied it was well worth the price of admission alone.

But again, obvious sarcasm isn't picked up on by everyone so that must mean I'm "hatin'"

we shoulda known not to take the guy with poop in his name seriously ...

where was the sarcasm obvious? it may have been obvious to you, but to others, not so much.

glad to know you're not really hatin' though! i agree, third eye by itself was well worth the price of admission.

Yeah, we were up in the Mezz and the visuals for 3rd Eye (and the whole show) were freaking retarded awesome. I think even better than if you were at eye-level with the stage.

I think anyone that wasn't in my section, and over 5 foot had a great view, lol. I was in the far left Orchestra section 12 rows back and didn't have much of a view at all. Mostly because I'm short and was surrounded by very tall people. Oh well, though.. The sound was amazing and what I could see blew my mind away. I now know what seats to try to get next time. It was my first time at the Nokia, so I wasn't sure what to expect from my seats or the sound. I would normally never leave to get a drink during the set, but I wanted to see what the view looked like between the orchestra and loge and oh man... I didn't even want to go back to my seat.

The show WAS incredible- this was my 8th show since 1998 and I have to say... it totally was the best. Had a great time- had GREAT SEATS (oh man) and had just enough mushies to enjoy the music/light show while still saine enough to not bring too much attention to myself. The POT, incredible. Although 3rd Eye was my highlight- the 2nd time I heard it live (first time was in San Jose in '98 and half the amps were blown), and it was killer. Not too many boos for the Opening Band either- infact the least I've ever heard at a Tool Show. Way to go LA- never would of thought it.

On a side note- was Adam's riff for Stinkfist different that normal? Like the first half of the song? Or was I just trippin'?

On another side note- during my first venture to the restroom I remember some dude making a b-line straight to a stall and commenting along the way: "Wow man, I'm REALLY tripping now". Good crowd.

different. or both?

I'd just like to say that I'm still riding high in the sky off these two shows. While Reflection is and always will be my favorite song, these two shows topped the times I saw them on that tour. Yeah they play the radio songs, but they also extend each one to cater to the hardcore fans.
