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...

Yeah i agree with the population thing. The largest permanent venue here only has a capacity of about 2200. Tool would almost certainly sell that out, that is if they would even bother playing such a small venue (although I'd prefer to see them at a small place like that than a 20,000 peep mega theatre). THe biggest bands to play here recently was the White stripes, they sold out in about a day, Henry Rollins was here on the same night and sold a lol-worthy 3 tickets. I trust most Tool fans would jump at the opportunity to see them, even if they were just casual fans, simply becuase they are pissed off at the lack of bands coming here.
Anyway I'm just a desperate fan hoping for the best.
Fuck I'm tired.
