I don't want to sound pessimistic or like I'm anti-Tasmania (I think it's an awesome place!) but would it be in the band's interests to play a show down there? I know there would be lots of genuine Tool fans in Tassie but with a population of 500,000 would it be worth playing there as a band, strictly from a business point of view? How many would turn up for the concert?

Again, I don't want this to be taken the wrong way. Tool did play in Anchorage, Alaska back in late September, 2002, and their state population is about 600,000 so it's possible they'll come. Maybe next year when they do a full Aussie tour instead of this rumoured one just featuring the bigger cities...
