Again. Tool is a delicacy at this point, and should be treated as such. It's not 2001 anymore. They don't have to book, or perform for that matter, so aggressively. When they come around, you're gonna pay. Bottom line.

The prime of a band's career is not a watermark that needs to be reached perpetually. If you didn't get so see the band '97-2002.. That's unfortunate. I never got to see Pink Floyd. Them's the breaks.


And as far as 90 minutes sets of "hits" go. They don't have "hits". They play their most indentifiable songs because that's what you do when you're so big you play arenas. People on message boards that post setlists are a miniscule miniscule % of people that attend these shows. There's 40K members here, the premier Tool fan forum for over a decade. Tool has sold 13 million records.

99.99999999% of concert attendees are surprised. Every time.

Can't please 'em all.

They'll put out a new record out eventually. At their own pace. Their longevity is predicated on being on no ones time but their own.

It'll be worth it. Always was and always will be.
