[Foamy]

Yeah. I never knew TOOL were hated so much.

[gerbil]

You realize what these dates mean, right?

They toured for Lateralus the DAY it came out. Unless they're gonna preview material (which doesn't seem like their style) the album will have come out before these shows.

[Chris_Brightwell]

They toured for Lateralus the DAY it came out. Unless they're gonna preview material (which doesn't seem like their style) the album will have come out before these shows.Given the success rate of the Tool tapers out there and their disdain for having stuff "leak" to the 'net hours after they walk off the stage, I think it's safe to assume they won't play anything from the new album if it hasn't been released.

At the same time ... If you're not going to be promoting a new album, why bother? Looks like early- to mid-April is going to be the release date.

[toolloot]

I would refuse to play any gig, regardless of size, if Depeche Mode were there. Enjoy the silence, bitches.

[cureformax]

Bands don't have to have material out to play a show. When Tool played in '99 there wasn't a new record to promote. This is a warm-up show, but I'm sure they'll play some new stuff. The album will not be out by then.

i'm loving your username.

[Lateral Undertow]

It is unfortunate that those tool hating bastards can not distinguish between tool fans and 80's hair metal fans. One person essentially said that we were a bunch of mullet wearing hillbillies. I say we all grow mullets or get wigs, dress in drag and go mosh with all those emo bitches. If thats what they want then thats what they can get.

[ARMZ]

That's Maynard's job.

[dawn]

They aren't playing out here.

[Lateral Undertow]

That's Maynard's job.

It used to be, who knows now. He may still be hanging out at the back of the stage and all you can really see is his sillouhette.

[ARMZ]

Yea, although I can't wait to see what approach he takes this time, I'm sure people who go will take their cameras? if not then I'm sure someone will post pics on another site.

[Hodge]

maynard LOVES cameras

[ARMZ]

Maynard doesn't have a choice, if people get them in then they get them in.

[TurdEye13]

This is really important news

[awaking]

Looks like im gonna be planning my trip to Cali for april now i guess.. hmm maybe

[Lateral Undertow]

I am very excited to see what kind of stage set-up they will use. Both Tool and APC have had some interesting ones, so I am sure they will come up with somthing different. Maybe they will all be inside shadow boxes, like Maynard was on the last APC tour. I doubt it though, they will do something new and creative.

[Perseensilmä]

Haha, and if the new album doesn´t quite sell they all have to perform inside cartboard boxes.

[Chris_Brightwell]

Bands don't have to have material out to play a show.Why bother headlining a spring festival if you're not going to play material from the new album you're releasing that spring?

I don't know it to be fact, but I would bet money that Tool won't play anything from the new album before it's released.

[Cid]

anybody k now which day tool is gonna play? i want to get tickets, but i don't want to goto both days if i don't have to.

[ARMZ]

I think they are one of the last acts to play although this I'm not sure of.

[jwb]

Last act on Sunday.

[ARMZ]

Tool's headlining set is scheduled to cap off the weekend as the finale to Sunday night's show, the Times reports. Tool, who'd rocked the crowd during the inaugural Coachella back in 1999, have not performed live in the United States since 2002, when the band toured with Mike Patton's Tomahawk. At present, the Maynard James Keenan-fronted band is mixing its forthcoming album — Tool's first since 2001's Lateralus. Photos taken during the recording of the LP, which were posted on guitarist Adam Jones' online blog, showed that Queens of the Stone Age's Josh Homme, Melvins guitarist King Buzzo and Isis frontman Aaron Turner had stopped into the studio during the sessions. It's not yet known whether they'll be appearing on the album, which will arrive in stores in late April or early May.

[hanger25934]

i expect there to be a toolband update concerning this between now and the time they play the fiestival

[Cid]

YES!! i just heard on the radio the whole lineup. tool is headlining sunday, i'm there.

[mike tyson]

ugh, ISIS frontman.. that's fucking disappointing

[Lateral Undertow]

I don't think it is going to matter, because I'll bet the album is out before they play any shows.

[MasterOfKtulu109]

I bet the album comes out April 25, right before this festival.

MTV are idiots. As if the album will come out after they start touring. Morons.

I'm pretty sure that is his point.

[Th1_rhs13]

FUCK Coahella is so fucking DIRTY! I haven't been around that area (Palm springs area) since early 05'. I might be willing to go if I meet up with others in San diego and caravan out there anyone willing? I always get lost out there.

Which show do you plan on seeing?


We were considering the drive to Mountain View. Depeche Mode and Smashing Pumpkins are the head liners at that show...

I bet these tool hating bastards will be tool lovers after the new album.

[millermt]

Apparently you haven't run into any of these indie music loving freaks. They would never claim to like a band signed to a major label.

i'm going from SD. i've never been there, i just moved out here from NY a few months ago. are tickets hard to get usually? i'm planning on buying them as soon as they're available this saturday.

[Th1_rhs13]

Should be fine, ticket wise if you jump on them. I only went to go visit a girls parents I was seeing at the time, but I got lost and ended up in Coachella. Seriously dude bring an exra set of clothes and shoes to just walk around in, old stuff you don't mind messing up. It was 130 degress went I went too, I wanted to murder people. But it gets stupidly cold out there at night. Oh yeah get ready to be around a bunch of Emo fags too.

http://www.coachella.com/tickets/

Where in San diego, I know how to get to oceanside/Chula Vista area taking the 57 to the 5 fwy from my house, I would really like to go with other people, maybe we can get SoCal people to meet up and head out.

[jwb]

I don't think tickets will be too hard to get, but anybody coming from out of town is gonna get fucked trying to find a hotel room. I've been calling all around the area and everybody is booked up...and getting around $250 a night.

[pris0n]

Tickets aren't going to be a problem. Last year the day of they were still selling tickets and it was like $15 cheaper than buying them through ticketmaster.

I'm going to be going from north county san diego. Anyone wanting to go and has no one to go with go ahead and contact me and we'll figure something out.

[TheInsideSource]

Wow, things are actually happening, in a couple of months time, I'll miss this waiting... I just hope I manage to catch TOOL when they tour over here.

[Th1_rhs13]

Rad, the problem for me is not knowing where to go. I might have some people to tag along I don't know yet, but N. County is even better. I can be in Aliso Viejo/San Clemente area in about an hour. I'll drop you a line with my Aim.

http://toolnavy.com/showpost.php?p=743854&postcount=37

As much as I'd love to claim it, as Goldfoot has pointed out, it was already posted, though I didn't actually notice it until after I made mine.

[millermt]

fuck those doucebags on the coachella site. indie loving fucking freaks.

I wish I could go just to see Tool play "Hooker With A Penis" for those assholes.

[Goldfoot]

Doesn't really matter. There's gonna be two more threads about this before the week is out.

[dark_Speedo]

I just heard them announce on FNX (boston) that Tool will be playing, along with the Smashing Pumpkins (possably)!!!!!!!!!!

I'll be at Coachella.

[Goldfoot]

Smashing Pumpkins (possably)!!!!!!!!!!

Nope. No Pumpkins.

[SuperSteve]

Not yet at least. The lineup changes all the time for Coachella.

[Goldfoot]

Not yet at least. The lineup changes all the time for Coachella.

But the Pumpkins aren't reuniting.

[dark_Speedo]

Yeah, they mentioned that the SP will join at the last minute... don't know how they knew this, but yeah.

[SuperSteve]

But the Pumpkins aren't reuniting.

Pumpkins reunion rumor is smashed

Greg Kot
Published January 27, 2006

A San Diego alternative rock station announced that the Smashing Pumpkins would reunite on the second day of the Coachella music festival in California in April, then had to take it all back in an on-air announcement Thursday.

"We got duped. They're not doing it," said 91-X (XTRA-FM) music director Marco Collins, who said he spoke to singer Billy Corgan's label, Reprise Records. "Reprise said that for whatever reason Billy backed out of it."

A Reprise spokesman said, "We never knew they were in to back out."

Corgan could not be reached for comment, but rumors about the band's reappearance have abounded since the singer announced last summer that he intended to "renew and revive the Smashing Pumpkins." Stories of the band's rumored Coachella appearance have circulated on the Internet and have been published in NME, a British music magazine.

The lineup for the April 29-30 festival will be announced Monday, but Collins said it won't include the Pumpkins. "This info is everywhere, even in the guise of a [concert promoter] press release, and I feel like an idiot for believing it," he said.

[hanger25934]

ha ha. sucks to like the pumpkins. billy is a liar lol

[jwb]

HAha! Who the fuck takes a hotel room when they go to a festival?!!?!!

I know its lame, but I'm flying (solo) to LA from NC on Saturday, renting a car and driving to Indio to catch the Tool set Sunday night, then turning around. I'm gonna need a bed for a couple hours.

[Wretched]

I liked this comment on that board:

"3. Why GOD why? When there are TONS better choices to headline - ones that haven't been before.

ie

Bowie
Prince
REM

come to mind."

and:

"I went to go check out Tool on iTunes to give them a fair shake. WTF? i Tunes doesn't have a single Tool song...yet they have Korn, Mudvayne. (So you're right, I guess they are not in the same league.) If anyone knows where I could listen to Tool without having to buy Tool, let me know. I'm still willing to try. Gracias."

Not in the same league as Korn or Mudvayne, hahahahahaha.

[Lateral Undertow]

I don't use iTunes, so i wouldn't know. But I would be surprised that they don't have a single Tool song

[Chris_Brightwell]

they don't

[Goldfoot]

I don't use it but I have it so I checked. I didn't find anything. You still have to buy with iTunes though so I don't know what the person expected. Idiots.

TOOL PERFORMING AT COACHELLA FESTIVAL

Some of you may have heard that TOOL will be headlining the Coachella Festival the last weekend in April. This is now official. I'll have more information about this in the coming days.

[nthistogether]

*shits self*

[cheba63]

Hmmmmm Prom or Festival(Never been to a concert, and it would be great to see 2 of my favorite bands)???

[Underalus]

Fuck prom, I didn't do shit and the afterparty blew. I did go with a smoking fine woman though.

[plexus]

you think Coachella will be the first show of they play?

makes sense. release the album in april, start a tour in california, and it happens to be right when coachella is goin on. it would be a good place to kick off a tour.

[Bogart]

I think the North American tour sill start in autumn. However a mini US tour would be pretty sweet, but I highly doubt they would come anywhere near my area.

[Tertius Oculum]

Should I wait till they come to Vegas or go to Coachella? Is it anything like Ozzfest? I don't know what to expect and I'm hesitant to spend 85 bucks for 1 good band and a shitty day of gaysex.

[zoomster]

go to coachella. it's amazing. It's a festival that does not cater to a particularly scene (although they slightly favor the indie scene). There is a lot of variety, usually good acts and some not so good acts. Yeah so maybe some of the bands suck, but that's a good thing. You only get to watch about 10 full sets per day. So let's say as long as there are 13 bands you like (to account for a couple of likely scheduling conflicts), then it's perfect. Plus there are always stages you are going to stumble into and go who the fuck is this?!
Also if you are going to go to Coachella just for tool, i highly recommend getting there early. There are many amazing artists playing and you'll be doing yourself a favor to keep an open mind and appreciate the music. The most memorable performances are sometimes by artists you have never heard of. The atmosphere is what makes coachella special, not the bands that are playing (but it helps--especially tool)...
Keep in mind there is usually about a 15-30 min delay between artists.

[moneyisevil]

i love festivals just for the reason that u are likely to discover bands you would have never found out about

[jwb]

Anyone know about what time TOOL will play Sunday?

[zoomster]

Anyone know about what time TOOL will play Sunday?
one of two options.
1. 10:30 to 11:40 or something close to that (more likely)
2. 9:00-10:15 or so (like NIN did last year-but I think they had to get out a little early)

Also massive attack is going to be playing directly before tool, according to their press release.

[lachrymoIogy]

I hope they give out tazers to tool fans. I'd hate to have to use my .40 on some eyeliner wearing, emo-*** when he starts crying about "the metal band" on stage when tool starts playing.

[Th1_rhs13]

Nice, so it will be a great time for the tool experience I was hointg they would play at night; I mean the lights and projectors would look rather bleek and contrasting in the day. Massive attaks is a great add, I only really like one song (Poloroid girl) but it would defintley make a great venue for the TOOL transition.
I hope they don't cut out the classics from Aenima on the Lateralus tour at coachella.

Im probobaly alone, but I want the classic Lateralus stuff, and the album to release after coachella and start up a new when ever their overseas crap is done and see them then. Then I could experience both, I was too young (read:poor) for the Lateralus tour.

The Lateralus tour is over. Hopefully you'll be able to experience it soon on DVD.
