so long as they change up the set-lists every now & then, lol!
that's my two on that!

I think you misunderstood my last couple of sentences:
"Business wise it makes sense. They line their pockets touring, not so much releasing an album"
Anyhow, my point is, I'd like to get a new album rather then another tour - and I think most Tool fans are with me.
But I'm happy they're at least touring. Something is better then nothing.
