Possible US Tour Dates [Archive] - The Tool Page: Opinion

Has anyone heard if there will be a mini tour for 10,000 Days?
I'm hoping they will do the same thing as they did with Laterlus.
A 4 show tour before they went to Europe.

There is a small amount of time after Coachella in May. I believe Coachella is April 30th, and the first Euro show isn't until May 27th. That leaves a few weeks for something small.

*prays for Berkeley*.... again (or better yet, Santa Cruz) =D

But, compared to the rest of the tour, the beginning mini-tour pretty much sucked. Mind you, I said "compared to the rest". But that's obvious cuz it takes time and experience to work out the bugs and whatnot.

Although, it's still pretty cool to say "I got tickets for a show that sold out in 3 minutes". =P

And I completely agree with you Scrunzet, a Santa Cruz show would be ideal (in our dreams!).

I heard from a very reliable source that TOOL was going to play at some small club in Dallas, Texas on May 8th. Another detail was that the tickets were going to be $80. That's all that was said, and I'm looking for more information. Does anyone have any info, or has anyone heard this?

I know Tool and A Perfect Circle have had mini-tours, and played scattered shows, but this is totally out of character for them. Usually these shows are in Cali, not Texas. Then again, APC opened their Fall 2003 tour in San Antonio, so I don't know. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks!

Expect Tool's 'next' release to drop sometime in 2011... until then, you'll have to wait!"

Sometimes I regret coming to forums because of the people that are members. I am a huge Tool fan, as many of you are, and I'd like to be proven wrong. I've been to Tool shows and their crowds are like none other. But there are a few in the crowd who ruin it.

Can you elaborate on who or what your 'very reliable source' is? I'm not accusing you of lying, just wondering where you heard it etc.

Sending emails to venues seems to be the way to go - you can get some very interesting responses... or just give the venue a call if you haven't heard anything in a few days...

A buddy of mine is the Program Director of 99.5 KISS FM here in San Antonio, he told me that he got word from his Sony BMG Rep that Tool was going to play a show in Dallas, on the 8th...yadda yadda yadda. I myself am a Warner Music Rep and we don't disclose any tour info unless it's true, and I'm pretty sure Sony doesn't want Tool's loyal Texas fans (or any fans, anywhere in the world) to be toyed with. That's why I posted this, to see if anyone else besides me and tons of other people in Texas heard about this. or if anyone in general has info. As of right now, the details of the show are very shaky and I'm patiently waiting for more info.

I book tours.

A buddy does major booking in Austin and Dallas. His reaction: "Yeah we wish!"

That guy who designed the artwork for them also stated that the interest in doing a few US shows prior to Coachella is there, but very doubtful. There will be a private invite for a LA show, and I could actually fanboy my way into that.

I hope they play that cookie song, the one where that guy talks about being a nazi....man it's so evil!

So speaking of being straight, how about you name your sources now. If I can give out those two, surely you can start being honest yourself.

JoeyVWEA

03-28-2006, 02:37 AM

Tool doesn't seem like the kind of band to drop by local clubs anonymously and try out new material, nor do they seem like the type to bother with small clubs at all anymore. They were never a bar band, so it's not like they would feel a need to 'get back to their roots'. Plus, if they were going to do such a thing, it would seem to make more sense they do it in their own back yard of Southern California.

See that's what I was thinking. But I don't know. APC did a few shows at smaller venues. Now let me clarify by smaller venues I don't mean a bar, I mean 1,000-2,000 seat venues, not the arenas we're used to seeing them in. APC, Morressey, Deftones, Radiohead, System of a Down, and Coldplay (to name a few) also did this, so I mean, when you say that they aren't the type to bother with small clubs, or if a big band like tool wouldn't do small venues, I beg to differ. Now I'm not saying that those bands are better/bigger than Tool, because they're not (in their own ways), I'm just saying that anything is possible and I do see this more as a reality than a hoax.

Thanks for helping though.

Boozy Eulogist

03-28-2006, 02:41 AM

I think it's hard to differ when Tool did do a few small venue shows in 01.

APC did damn near a full tour in small venues. Thank God for John Z and his +40 guest lists. I've never seen so many people make money just selling their tickets on that tour. 200 bucks a night, minimum.

CCD

03-28-2006, 02:42 AM

Well, your specific statement was 'small club', which is what I based my comments on. Tool played the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles on the last tour for a few shows, which only seats a few hundred (maybe a thousand?), so I know there is precedent for non-arena sized shows. But I wouldn't call a theatre or hall a 'small club'. By 'small club' I would mean The Troubadour in Hollywood, which holds max one hundred people (if that many).

JoeyVWEA

03-28-2006, 02:46 AM

You've got some reading to do. Don't be upset. You should've given your second answer first. I hate to burst your bubble and maybe hurt your ego, but I could probably Label Rep my way into Coachella and hang with Tool, and Depeche Mode. Then send you a picture. But that's not like me, so please no more personal shots, and don't blow up your own ego. Just answer the question. Thank you

This one sure is sassy.

PS, you can't suck label cock to get to Tool. You have no idea how many people try that shit at every single show. Since you don't like me being straight (should I go paste it in a myspace forum for you?), I'll change the topic so that you can keep pretending that it's true.

Hey Cali: How's the Troubadour? I think the club owner was at SXSW with a guy that owns the Viper. I've heard good things as far as the sound goes.

Hey take it easy sweetheart. Don't get all antsy. I just asked a question. You're the one who blew up and claimed you booked shows, and by shows we don't mean pledge drives and benefit concerts. I know how many people pull that shit. I AM a label rep and people beg me to meet artists under my label. You should see the list of "cock suckers" I have for the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Have fun running your college radio station...been there...done that. and please stop with the abuse.

If you had been straight since your first answer all of this would've been avoided.

I'd much rather wait and see a full show under more controlled circumstances.

The group is also rumored to be hitting several other cities that same month, including Seattle and Oakland. These shows will follow TOOL's April 30 headlining performance at the Coachella...

Wonder what the NYC venue would be? For the 2001 mini-tour, it was Hammerstein Ballroom. I just wrote them this afternoon to check and received the following response:

"As of right now, there is no Tool concert confirmed for next month here at
the Hammerstein Ballroom."

So I guess that means it hasn't been finalized or it will be somewhere else. I'm leaning toward it being somewhere else, but who knows. Hammerstein is pretty small (~3000). Maybe they'll do Radio City (~6000)?

I can't speak of the mini-tour shows per se but I will say that I think Tool's performance of new material improves drastically throughout their tour. D\R\T, for instance, was not bad during the earlier portions of their tour for lateralus but I thought those versions were quite boring in comparison to the last tour Tool did for lateralus.

I imagine I will try and get tickets the normal way but I am not paying above face value just for the mini-tour shows. It is nice to see Tool in a smaller venue but, then again, they are one of the few bands who can really fill out the stage in an enormous auditorium.

Travelling to see a Tool show is an awesome experience - you won't be disappointed (if you haven't seen them before). And even if you have, it would still be great to see Tool fresh from releasing their new album, playing all their new stuff for the first few times as well as some classic songs from years gone by - I'm getting all aroused just thinking and typing about it!

i just heard on Sirius Radio that these dates are confirmed, yet nothing from Tool Army..funny thing is that I had a dream last nite that Tool was confirmed to play Hammerstein (NYC) on May 8th....and i doubt that TOOL could pull off US tour dates in late may as the article states, because they are booked from May 26th on....so any dates before May 26th are possible

ive got goosebumps just thinking about seeing TOOL again live at Hammerstein!!!! We're so close!!!!

actually since i joined TA i think the chances are pretty good, although for the last Mini-Tour in 2001 me and my friends ended up paying a scalper $140 each for fake tickets although we were still let in!!! It was my first time seeing TOOL (An Evening With TOOL at that!) and it was purley amazing to say the least

Bolth venues are far to small for tool try the key! (arena)

I agree that they are too small for a regular tour and the Key would be ideal. But they:

A) aren't going to play an arena for a 4 show mini-tour
B) probably couldn't get the Key with only 3-4 weeks notice
C) definately couldn't sell out the Key in 4 weeks
D) as stated after quoted post, played small venues on last mini-tour.

PLUS: If you've ever been to a really small, intimate concert you already know how awesome it is with just a small crowd. One of the best concerts I've ever seen was Collective Soul at the Shrine Auditorium in Billings, MT. Not because it was Collective Soul (not really a fan of them) but because the Shrine tops out at maybe 700, 800 people (it's like a school gym) and, IMO, the band was REALLY into playing for such a small crowd. It was a great show. I would love to see TOOL with less that 2000 people at the show. (Yes that sounds selfish, but oh well)

tooldude

04-05-2006, 09:05 AM

this was posted by a dude over at toolarmy.....

According to the local radio station, KUPD, Tool will be playing an intimate venue in the Phoenix metro area in early May. Just thought fellow desert dwelling folk, or those willing to travel would be interested. The date and venue are undetermined but the radio station confirmed a concert will be happening but lack details as of yet. For those of us headed to Indio, CA this will be two Tool shows prior to the exodus to Europe, can’t wait and hope to see you all there.

Cheers…

There's plenty of time for them to play 12 shows. In 2001, they played the last US mini-tour show 4 days before they started playing in Europe. If they did the same this time, they could play their last US show on May 22nd. If you count Coachella as one of the 12 shows, that would be 11 more shows in 22 days.

Twelve shows probably means NYC and Philly -- sweet!

Also the other cities are only rumors as far as I am concerned. I have no other info on them so until I see a date they are rumors. Shit I guess Tempe is still a rumor at this point. :-)

Well I'm hoping their gonna come to Denver, though it will probably be a b*tch to get tickets because they probably won't release any info. on the show. Or they'll only release tickets to a certain amount of people on Tool army or some BS like that, thats how shows are getting nowadays.

I dont disagree with you but i dont understand why tool would play one of their 6-10 mini tour shows in Tempe arizona

The same reason APC would play small clubs here before their first album came out and the same reason Tool would play part of a mini tour here back in 98 when they played LA, SD and the Phoenix Civic Plaza. They have some ties here, Danny Carey has been spotted at Suns games and if I am correct Manyard has lived in Jerome, AZ at some point or still does.

edit: Nice to see someone else called Gammage! Look I am not here to bullshit people because there is enough of it with all the rumors. I heard a rumor about a Tool show in Tempe and called a friend who can confirm local information like this for me. He confirmed it and as of right now they are playing Gammage Auditorium on May 6th. I came here to give people in the area a heads up since it only holds 3,000 and tickets are going to be hard to come by.

Why wouldn't they play in Tempe? Tempe, Glendale, Chandler, etc. basically are all one massive city we like to call Pheonix and Pheonix is a huge fuckin city. And like lights said, Maynard lives/lived in AZ.

How far ahead of time would Tool need to announce the dates of shows for a mini-tour? They gave about 6 weeks notice for the Lateralus US mini-tour in 2001. It seems to be getting down to crunch time!

IN Blair's most recent post (Happy Birthday Camella) he says to "Remember the Chinese saying (curse): May you live in interesting times…"

I am pulling at straws here, I know, but I was thinking this could possibly be a reference to shows in MAY. Any thoughts?

My local radio station previously said they are going to tour in 12 U.S states, and I just heard now that they have a big concert announcent coming either tomorrow or next tuesday, I'm thinkin it could be Tool, but I'm not sure.

That's awesome. They'll probably come to Montana, right?
Most likely, I know their comin to Denver for sure, just don't know when, their announcing it on Monday.

Ya, I don't really think they'll come to Montana because more people live in the Denver bus station than in Montana. It's a quick drive to Denver or Seattle though.

Well also on kilo they really pretty much gave it away, they kept saying BIG Tool announcement on monday, and said stuff like you'll be excited for this one, so Im pretty sure. But yeah it's at 7 a.m, and the single hits the air at 8.
