Except that Wovenhand is signed to a family-oriented record label, and they promote several Christian ministries through their various web pages (Myspace, etc.) So not only do they reference religion, they apparently advocate Christianity.
This is perfectly fine with me; I'm a strong Christian. I'm glad Tool does not discriminate against certain groups just because they are grounded in Christianity or another religion...yet more proof that all four of them are true, open-minded artists.
I think Maynards mind is made up when it comes to this subject.
Why does that have anything to do with A) what I believe, and B) how good Wovenhand's music is?
It doesn't.
It doesn't.
Don't be so defensive I was just stating my view. My opinion doesn't make yours less credible.
Now I'm off to listen to some Wovenhand even if they may not open the Sac. show.
It sounds like lots of Tool fans are being open minded about Wovenhand. Thats good to see. I really enjoy some of their stuff and I hope they get a warm reception at the shows. Unfortunately it looks like they wont be the supporting act on my half of the summer tour. I wonder if there will even be another one?
I saw Isis in DC last night.
Spent some time hanging out with aaron harris before the show. Nice guy.
Got ridiculously drunk and almost arrested because I forgot hotel name and could barely walk. Woke up this morning to find pictures on my iPhone with me and Aaron turner (Isis vocalist). Yet I don't remember anything. LOL.
In Philly now for Isis again. Think this hangover will be gone soon. wow what an intense 24 hours it has been. NOLA tomorrow!
I'll post pics with Isis members later. They're hillarious. I was so wasted.
I made the trip to the DC Isis show as well. Great time, but I forgot my earplugs and still can't hear anything.

Yeah, hopefully you didn't get too much permanent hearing damage. Temporary hearing damage can last up to 3 days.
If you forget your ear plugs in the future, you can make some hearing protection out of a napkin - just mold a small piece of napkin into a good shape to fit in your ear. Of course, ear plugs are much more effective.

You kanadians can't hold your liqour! How aboot that eh? ;)
I know junior is currently in "hiding", but I wonder if anybody will be posting notes from the crew over on TA. I really enjoyed reading about their experiences.
"Yeah Tool is fucking amazing. But there’s a big chunk of their fan base that think they’ve become thought provoking geniuses just from listening to them."
Getting excited now... and I'll be more excited once I know the status of those damn LA shows!
Yup. I grabbed a decent pair for diego just in case the nokia thing shits the bed. Probably go to that and 1 nokia and be good with that.
Although I find christianity to be vile and insane, the wolfhaven tracks on their myspace are damn good and I'll be buying one or more of their discs shortly.

glad you like Wolfhaven...but, Wovenhand in opening... :)
Tried to get tickets this morning and couldn't pull anything good!! Started off trying to get 6 then 4 then 3 and couldn't pull anything decent. Those ticketmaster devils are a bunch of corrupt scum!! Looks like I'm going to have to spend a small fortune for some decent seats through some over priced agency... Once again! Out of the seven Shows I've been to in the past couple years I've pulled decent seats once!! Frustrated....
Bought 2 pairs for the san diego show- but how the hell does anyone get floor tickets?! I re-laoded TM like a madman and searched as soon as possible to no avail. How do you guys do it?

So, as I was watching the Yankees beat the Red Sox last night at the Staples Center with the bulbs flashing, the crowd roaring, I could only imagine Danny being in the crowd and going, "Ha. I've played here before..."

I wonder about this show? I was out an Outlet this morning and right at 10 and 2 seconds dude put in P1 (price level) 2 amount of tickets and it went right to section V in the bowl. He was cool and kept trying for dumps in the p1 rang for 15 minutes for me and nothing ever came up. I've never seen this happen before for a show and I score all my tickets I can at outlets. Is there some kind of hold for students or something? Did anyone get floors here?

They are a bunch of fucking retards. Ordered my tickets May15th or so and they still haven't come. I'm really getting sick of this shit. Show is in a week. Next time I'll pay more if it's someone more reliable than these assholes. If i don't get to see the show because of them, I'm gonna go find their hq and beat every last employee to death with a dildo just to make sure I get the one responsible.

There are some serious shenanigans going on with this show.
My friends got Bench Seats T row 30 and there is no such thing. Another friend got Bench seats section R row 27. Again no such seats.
I know at least 10 people that were online right on time and nobody floor seats.

If I hadn't been drinking so much, I would have had the sense to cough up a buck for the earplugs at the bar. Again, if I hadn't been drinking so much.... :-/
Man, all of my friends bailed for this Vegas trip. I even actually got permission from the wife. Am I really considering taking 2 vacation days and spending $400 to fly out there alone to see it? Not to mention the room cost. What to do...
Get new friends. Losers. Also, as a fellow married cat, I know what kind of hell you have to go through to earn enough karma points to pull that kind of shit off.

I know everyone's probably getting pretty excited about now but the closer the tour gets the more pissed i am. What did the east coast do to deserve this?

East coast is gonna get some TLC after the new album drops. ;)
P.S. Tomorrow's the fucking day! Have fun and be safe everyone seeing them in NOLA.
I made a similar (more detailed) post in the OKC thread, but I wanted to post here as well.
There are still good seats available on TM for the Oklahoma City show due to ticket dumps. I think there are still more ticket dumps to come because they STILL haven’t released some of the floor and side sections close to the stage (There were never any seats available for these sections on TM or any re-seller).

For y'all that haven't looked at the newest Tool Newsletter... Looks like we may get something different off of Aenima and Lateralus for this tour.
Blair also said "There was also one even older song on the list, but this one had a question mark after it. It’s probably better just to leave it at that – not wanting to spoil anything just in case." Maybe Opiate?
awesome to hear we may be getting an altered setlist.....cant help but speculate
from Aenima? Hooker
from Lateralus? Parabola
even older song? Jerk Off
