Tickets on sale next Friday!!!

GET IN!!!

[Navid]

Try and get them fast. To my knowledge, there's every chance you'll miss the boat fi you don't jump on them when they become available.

But the lack of official confirmation as yet is keeping me a little skeptical. Dates may be subject to change...

[onethirtyeight]

I'll be ready and raring to go at 9am.

[justlikeme]

I'm gonna get them that morning. But I don't think they'll sell out straight away.

[MunkyHed]

This here is my first post!! An historical mark in time i'm sure.

I signed up here just to express my joy that this news brings me. After the Deftones gig i was almost complete but there was that sickening feeling that i'd missed Tool playing in Donnington, i should've gone but it wouldve been too shaggin expensive. I can't wait for this gig lads. Its goin to be SAVAGE!
Dunno about the venue though, only been there once for Roger Waters a few years back and to be honest i think the place was a bit of a hole!

[onethirtyeight]

Yeah, it's no SFX for sure, but it's better than the UK equivalent (which would be Wembley). I saw Joe Cocker there about 12 years ago, and also thought it a bit shit, but seeing as I am not going to be home for Christmas, this ties in perfectly with paying the folks a visit. Let's just hope it's not an all seated affair. Now THAT would suck.

bleeedin' rapid...

...an all'n'anyways.

[ktdude]

My friends and I will be coming across from Newcastle for this show - I love Dublin, and to see Tool there is going to be awesome - can anyone reccommend somewhere good to go drinking after.

[onethirtyeight]

Just got myself two standing tickets for the grand old price of €116.90! HURRAH!!! Now all I have to do is book the flight, make sure my folks don't mind me staying and get unbelievably excited!!! Already got the time off work.

As ktdude said - where we going to be drinking?

[justlikeme]

got mine also :D

[ktdude]

YEAH!!! Got mine too. Was a bit worried because the site refreshed pretty late. But 3 standing, AWESOME!!!

I'm not from Dublin so people might have better suggestions but there's an awesome pub called Eamon Doran's in the Temple Bar area which plays alternative music - I loved it there!

[connman]

oh yes got just 4 tickets!this is going to be amazing!

[Propulcid]

5 tickets, oh yeah. 292 yo-yos, holy crap that is expensive but whaddya going to do. Its worth it to see the best band in the frieking world.

[onethirtyeight]

I am positively giddy now. How the hell am I expected to concentrate on work for the next 4 months?

[ktdude]

Tell me about it!!! People were asking me to do stuff at 9:03 when the paeg still hadn't refreshed and I was sooo jittery. Now I'm just too freaking excited to do any work. FREAKIN' TOOL MAN!!

[bringitdown]

4 x tickets in zee bag - w00t.

@ktdude - 'rock/metal' pubs in Dublin - would recommend Bruxelles off Grafton Street. Then Fibbers at a stretch - Whelans of Wexford Street for some good oul rock/indie clubbing ... Dorans if okay but haven't been there in ages. Or for an excellent alternative try the Gaeity - a big ol' theatre with lots of bars and rooms and all sorts of music....

[stagger lee]

YEAH!!! Got mine too. Was a bit worried because the site refreshed pretty late. But 3 standing, AWESOME!!!

I'm not from Dublin so people might have better suggestions but there's an awesome pub called Eamon Doran's in the Temple Bar area which plays alternative music - I loved it there!

dorans is grand but its a jailbait crowd and the beer is easily the worst in dublin. and it smells of piss.

if you want a bit of rock hit the downstairs part of bruxelles and attempt fibbers later on when youre really wasted

if you want a bit of craic try the traddy bars in templebar - the oliver st john gogarty or the auld dub

and for a quality (read, QUALITY) pint of guinness drop into the long stone or mulligans just off pearse street

[Loveboat Captain]

Excellent.

[Loveboat Captain]

My second Tool show.

[ktdude]

thanks for the advice on drinking establishments. we will be visiting as many as possible. should work out nearer the time where most Tool fans are heading. Would be good to be amongst like-minded people after the show.

[Mooseifer]

I got my ticket today... This will be my 3rd Tool gig.

[BlindVisionary]

I stopped checking for future dates and a guy in work came and told me about 30 mins ago they're playing in Dublin. Tickets booked already! :)

2nd Tool show in 6 months :D

[Loveboat Captain]

what's everyone expecting from the show visually?

[BlindVisionary]

Same as last time, only more screens...

[8564]

I bought tickets 20 seconds after they went on sale. Stayed up all night to be sure I'd be awake at 9am when they went on sale.

This will be my first time seeing Tool live so there was no way I was missing out.

[downward_spiral]

5 tickets, oh yeah. 292 yo-yos, holy crap that is expensive but whaddya going to do. Its worth it to see the best band in the frieking world.
Wot part of wexico you from propulcid?? I'm the word's of the amstel add "This is gonna be great"

[Loveboat Captain]

Any idea who's supporting?

[8564]

Aslan.

[downward_spiral]

I've heard the corrs were supporting

[eonblue462]

Oh yeah, I have my ticket, I had a friend go to get it at 7am the day they went on sale, he was the only guy there. But at least I was one of the first in ireland to get a ticket! This is my first tool show so any advice anyone?

Oh and I'll be in first year in college in Dublin by November (hopefully) so you're all welcome to come back to my flat afterwards!! I think I should be able to fit a couple of thousand in there if we squeeze!!

Oh and I think b*witched are supporting. can anyone else confirm this?

[Loveboat Captain]

Ticket arrived today. Shit the bed. Now I'm excited.

[cosmo]

this will be my first tool show,what should i expect?

[BlindVisionary]

this will be my first tool show,what should i expect?
Expect MJK to sing with an Irish accent.

[ktdude]

Ticket arrived today. Shit the bed. Now I'm excited.

Shit, you got your tickets already?!! My unemployed housemate is away for 2 weeks which means I'll miss delivery of mine - arse!

[Propulcid]

Wot part of wexico you from propulcid?? I'm the word's of the amstel add "This is gonna be great"
The classiest town in Ireland, New Ross. You?

[downward_spiral]

Kiltealy

[BlindVisionary]

Shit, you got your tickets already?!! My unemployed housemate is away for 2 weeks which means I'll miss delivery of mine - arse!
I got my tickets 2 days after booking and i just got my other tickets for Glasgow, just booked on Friday :-D

[connman]

The classiest town in Ireland, New Ross. You?
new ross? feckin southsiders. bunclody!

[downward_spiral]

new ross? feckin southsiders. bunclody!
Fecking tinkers!

[ktdude]

Got me tickets this morning - awesome!! Going to have 2 days of complete insanity in Dublin with Tool in the middle of the alcohol sandwich. Excellent.

[Vpaah]

I've just been informed that maynard knows

'an bhfuil cead agam dul go dti an leithris'

that was a close one but we should be alright, just raise your hand durning the show

AAAAHHHHH they are playing dublin!!! so this is what love feels like..........

[Bassmingo]

Just putting out an idea, if a tool tribute band were to play somewhere after the gig, would people be interested in going? esp if it were free?

[ktdude]

If it were in a good venue with lots of Tool fans and obviosuly if you invited Tool down as well...

Joking about the last part. Sounds cool. Are they any good like?

[floydy]

what is the capacity of the point..been there a few times and it must be 8 or 9 k!..i wonder who will support on the night..isis..not sure about them theyre singer is pretty awful..same with meshuggah although music is excellent...hopefully it will be just tool...hopefully fripp might turn up and do a 70min soundscape..not bloody likely...kcrimson with belew..tool ta do larks tongue in aspic 2!!..no really the corrs would be a perfect support or maybe sharon shannon..andrea " this boy is cracking up..this boy has broke down"..ahah cringe murdering a good song...id like to see the corrs cover the grudge!..i wanna hear more lateralus godammit this time!.so cool that theyre are playing a bigger venue this time..excellent band..the screens incredible.

[Vpaah]

Just putting out an idea, if a tool tribute band were to play somewhere after the gig, would people be interested in going? esp if it were free?

yeah man you got an idea where? i'll have 20 or so people that'll go

[Bassmingo]

I'm friends with a tribute band, I've yet to approach them but i've got the idea for the gig, i've got the venue (dublin city centre) and it would take place after the gig in the point had finished and it would run late (up to 2 am) I dont want to give much more away but because it takes place on a weeknight i'm wary about nobody staying out too late.

[Vpaah]

hell yeah that be great
where abouts in town?

[Bassmingo]

If it goes ahead, all will be revealed right here in this thread. It might also be an excuse for a boards meet up pre and post gig!

[Vpaah]

right, just msg me with the details aswell wen u get em, being responsible for a good 14% of the tools fans in dublin i gotta stay up to date on this kinda shit

[Bassmingo]

Then we must know each other, because a lot of my friends are tool fans! Big fan of the porky tree too, in fact probablt gonna head over to london to see them in sept

[Vpaah]

oh man I heard 'the porky tree' as you so eloquently put it for the first time last week, its been all the joys of an amazing new relationship with none of the talking, nagging or cuddling after

[Bassmingo]

Beautiful band and deadwing and in absentia are beautiful albums.

heres something you might enjoy:


http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=138242861598716315&q=Porcupine+Tree

[Vpaah]

wow, now my neighbours know the lyrics to blackest eyes

i downloaded a rather huge amount of their stuff but which of their albums would you recommend?

[Bassmingo]

The two albums i mentioned are my faves, mind you i'm a bigger fan of their rockier stuff. A friend of mine however has everything they've ever done.

[Vpaah]

what is the capacity of the point...

8000

this is gona be great

[floydy]

8,000 wow thats big. thanks for that.still a while away...i hope they play more from lateralus i saw them in england and it was cool..but i have a feeling this will be much better if thats possible..hopefully the set-list will be a varied a little for that...but at the end of the day..its still TOOL!love ta hear undertow and grudge!

[Vpaah]

this is gona be great

[downward_spiral]

Just putting out an idea, if a tool tribute band were to play somewhere after the gig, would people be interested in going? esp if it were free?
I'm up for that 2. Could get another 10 or 20 ppl going.

Wow, Thats the first time i ever heard them. Fecking brilliant.

[Bassmingo]

I know! arent they??

[Bleakest Harvest]

Just putting out an idea, if a tool tribute band were to play somewhere after the gig, would people be interested in going? esp if it were free?
I don't think that's a very good idea. Surely they'll sound terrible in comparison to seeing the real deal on the same night.

I got my tickets a few weeks ago, seating in the best seats in the house, cant wait. Saw them in the Hammersmith Ap[ollo a few months back and it was the greatest night of my life!

[ktdude]

That did sort of occur to me too, I am more up for just talking and meeting other Tool fans really, was more concerned there wouldn't be anywhere with a late enough license on a Wednesday - but I could be wrong... will be up for lots of drinking and stuff

[Bassmingo]

I'm having second thoughts about it. I may not put on the gig, but the place i had in mind stays open till 2:30 AM so if you guys want to organise a boards meet just say so and i'll get the ball rolling.

oh and re the tribute band, they're quite good. (i've mixed sound for them many times)

[Loveboat Captain]

I'm still stuck for accomodation. Anyone know anywhere close and cheap?

[ktdude]

we were goona go for a hostel or something...

[Bleakest Harvest]

There's plenty of hostels around Dublin.

[ktdude]

anyone have recommendations for any cheaper hotels? rather than hostels?

7 weeks today and we will be in Dublin!! Bring it on. Sounds like ages.... but I'm hoping it'll fly by.

[Vpaah]

not long now

i was told if i held my breath time would past quicker, and i did, and it did, i jumped almost two weeks and got lots of flowers and grapes and stuff, man that was fun, cept they made me promise not to do it again and started crying and stuff, just jelous i guess, silly mortals

'they call me!! they call me doctor love!'

thoughts anyone?

[Lachrymologist]

i'm coming up from cork to see the show, i'd definately be in for doing something after, as my current plan is to get there, see the concert and then go to sleep. and anything beats that, especially drinking.

[ktdude]

your current plan sounds rubbish. get drunk instead.

[Bleakest Harvest]

Or take some acid and see where the night takes you.

[Vpaah]

there are tool fans in cork?

wait there are computers in cork?!

[Vpaah]

lol nice dude, I like it. I expect to see variations on that theme from now until 22nd November.

[Vpaah]

are you kidding?! it took four weeks and 200 men working around the clock in condtitions that violated more human rights laws than i care to mention

you want anther one? hire your own god damned korean children!

(i called them my umpa lumpas and whipped them thoughout the day, i also sold the female ones to certain politicians for a nice profit)

here look at this http://stashbox.org/2534/can.bmp

[ktdude]

lmao

nice dude. far be it from me to cause those little children a minute more of suffering producing such fine pieces of art. you are but a kind and benevolent slave driver. I will suffer to produce unworthy versions of time counters myself.

27 days to go.

it doesn't have the same pizazz but it does a job.

[Vpaah]

ah fuck it they organized a union before i could get my coup ideas under control, course then all 200 of them ran though town shouting that they wer unionists, emm i havent heard anything yet

ah well akuna matata and all that what what? i say! good show!

[Armbar21]

as regards drinking when you get to dublin, I'd definatly second the long stone, especially if your coming from abroad and have any intention of drinking guinness.

My mate's even coming home from New Zealand for this gig. I haven't seen tool play since ozzfest back in 2001(ish). I'm changing my pants on an hourly basis

has the plan for the tribute band fallen through, cause me and my mates would have been well interested

[ktdude]

3 weeks to go Irish dudes!! fuck yeah!! they are close now... I can smell them, oh yes.

we are booking a hostel today, avalon house which is near temple bar apparently.

EDIT: fuck, I'm a day early. just realised I got confused because we'll be in Dublin 3 weeks today. Tool 3 weeks tomorrow. ah well, I'll be back to celebrate then.

[Vpaah]

they are close now... I can smell them, oh yes

actually thats sumtin else but its cool, ya don't even notice it after awhile

as for drinking some how i think we'll find places, i was in mullingar
(or near there) yesterday and counted eleven bars on a small street, if you cant find a pub then just stand still and one will be built around you, we are a very industrious people

(eleven is standing still - you see?! its all connected!)

I think you guys might luck out and get Mastadon for an opener. They are better than Isis.

[azatoth]

never heard.what do they sound like?

[sonnyboy11]

never heard.what do they sound like?

http://www.myspace.com/mastodon

It's heavy shit! :P

Edit- you guys are indeed getting them. Schedule is on the Myspace page.

[Loveboat Captain]

Anyone know if there's a coach going to this show from Belfast? Any info on it? I still ain't got accomodation!

[laerfan]

Seriously excited now. Getting really close. I've heard that there's loads of security at the other European shows, that people are missing the whole support of Mastodon, so I'm heading into the gig EXTREMELY early just to be sure to get the most out of it.

Does anyone know if there are any events on after the gig? I remember after Weezer played last year there was a big after party in Eamon Dorans and a tribute band played and everything. I'm sure a Tool tribute wouldn't be the first thing on my mind after just seeing Tool themselves, but you never know, it might be cool.

They have to play "Part of Me," that would make my life totally complete.

look up metalireland.com im sure some1 will know on that!2 weeks today cant wait!hopefully the set is longer and more varied than average on the tour!went to see them in june on the "pre-tour" in glasgow and sound,crowd and setlist were very disappointing!

[ktdude]

[Vpaah]

amazing.....tool.....beyond literal expression

[ktdude]

okay people, it's getting really fucking close now - 1 FUCKING WEEK! CRAZY!! I will be in Dublin drinking myself into a stupor in 6 days! fucking awesome. I can't wait.

[Vpaah]

in just seven days....i can make you a maaaaa-aaa-aa-aa-aaan!!!

oooh..titilating

[Mooseifer]

Ok I can't be bothered reading the whole thread... is anyone meeting up for this?

[ktdude]

lol... the last page or so has just been me counting down, I think I started about 6 weeks ago... I'm cool meeting up, just gotta tell me where and when. I'll be in Dublin the night before as well, and drinking is my sole aim, so name a pub and I'll come for a pint or several

[JDK]

Well me and a few of my mates are gonna be boozin it up all day long. cant wait to see tool. 3rd and last time this year. i gonna be bollixed and smacked off my head.bring on wednesday 22/11, day of drink, drugs, and above all tool. We stayin in the 4 seasons. Thats where tool will more tahn likely be stayin. peace out dudes and dudettes.

[fatguy2k1]

I have a spare ticket for this gig if anyone needs one....

[Dee]

Hey everyone,

just wondering what will the deal be with pit bands, does anyone know? Will they be given out for those queuing early or only once we're in the door? Is it up to the band? In which case what has been happening at the other gigs? Or is it up to the venue? In which case I assume it'll be inside on a first-in-gets-one basis as is usual in the Point.

Anyone know?

Also, what time are people starting to queue at? I'm thinking about 5pm, will that be too late?

[ktdude]

there's a pit at the Point? crazy... that sucks imo

you won't need to get there that early Dee, I really don't think so anyway. We won't be going down till about 7:30

[eonblue462]

Hey does anyone know the where band entrance is in the point? I want to try and meet TOOL. anyone? If it was the ambassador, then It'd be no problem but I'm unfamilliar with the point. anyone?!!!! please!!!!

[JDK]

man u wont need to head up to the point that early for pit bands. Stroll up there round se7en - half se7en and you should get em not a bother. Sometimes there is a pit and other times there isnt, lets call it a suprise. i remember quein early for KoRn just for the pit and then we finnally get inside and there aint any! load of piss. (valuable drinkin time gone a miss too) Also Tool fans are a lot older than must idots that que hours on end just to get to the front so dont expect a huge crowd up there till round 8ish. i live just down the quay, from the point, so i familiar enough with it.

[Doylebag]

CANT WAIT! man its gona be deadly.........!!!!!!! headin back over from uni in aberdeen for the week for this. i know the point is shit but who cares! twill be great.

[azatoth]

acid or no acid..can't decide.most likely the only chance to see them as a headline show, so would like to be sober...but then again on acid it would be quite an experience...choices choices...maybe just a little bit...

[ollie]

dont spoil the show by taking acid,personally id like to remember the show might not see them again 4 a while.only a few more days cant bloody wait!!!sound at slayer was shite hopefully sound in the point will be better for tool!!!bring it on!!

[Vpaah]

Three days!
reading the reviews from the last cupla shows, amazing, so much anticipation, calm before the storm, the sound and the fury

[ktdude]

two days, two days!! this time tomorrow I'll have arrived in dublin and probably started drinking already. look out for a tall girl in a tool hoody staggering around the temple bar area at any time in on tuesday or wednesday and come say hi!

Two freiking days.... Its funny but after all of the years of listening to Tool I'm finding it quite difficult to get really enthusiastic about seeing them.I'm not sure why tho, I think its cause Im not surrounded by the normal excitement I had at home.. oh well, it should be class.

I felt that before I saw them this summer... kinda like an anti-climax in reverse. don't worry though, as soon as you're in the venue and the lights go down you'll feel it

Nice one, I'm sure you are right, I just have not had a minute free to look forward to it, but I just spent the last two hours listening to Undertow and Lateralus and that pang of excitement is beginning to grow in my belly.

Tool are on their way to Dublin as we speak. Perhaps they'll follow a recent trend of metal bands drinking in Bruxelles the night before their gig? Anyone gonna be there?

Either way, I'm totally excited and can't wait to hear Rosetta Stoned

X-tina (in such 50's chic) is playing there on tuesday, so naturally the place will reek of disinfectant, ahhhhhhh oh may i just listened 2 pushit live and you lied, im all chilled.......

Is the sound in the Point as bad as it's made out to be? I'm just thinking in terms of Mastodon; bands that heavy need good acoustics.
