Re: General Tool tour questions / discussion (merged)

I really want to say that the main reason that this tour's setlist has been so rigid is due to the lack or rehearsing by the band. And I would conjecture that the reason why they seldomly rehearse is because of things going on in their personal lives. Though it seems this is probably more true for Maynard than anyone else. He has his Puscifer project that he's been occupied with not to mention his vineyard. If you skim through his online journel for his wine website he spends 90% of his free time with that. I'm not saying he shouldn't, it's just a little discouraging. Especially if you consider that they are continuing this tour to cover the US again. Why even bother if you can't devote any time to rehearsing? It really doesn't make sense. I have to think that they are all pretty well off financially so it seems pointless to drag out this tour with the exact same material and lack of enthusiasm.
