Between you three (Hodge, HelenA and Hellboy {12,785 posts}), you must have killed a good many hours at work posting on this board hahaha
Shit, that's 35 posts a day over the course of a year, 3.5 a day over the course of a decade and if they average about, oh, 50 words per post 639,250 words typed, or, in essay form, a 51 page piece of Tool literature.
I am surprised you aren't coming to see them Kanaduh! How many times have you seen them in the last year!? I enjoyed reading your reviews, will have to return the favour if you cant make it to aus
I'm thinking about it.
As insane as an australia trip would be, it's pretty crazy expensive to pull off from over here. Plus the dates are scattered so far apart and the cities are also far from each other. If anything, only 1 or maybe 2 cities would be realistic. Still, way too expensive methinks...
If anything, I think I'll try to make it to one of the APC tour cities.

The question is, why do you hate Tool so much?
Who hates Tool? I'm pretty sure Hodge, Helena and myself are all big fans...
"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."

Don't forget about Hawaii... In January...
I think last time they went to New Zealand/Australia they stopped for a show in Honolulu on their way down/back.

I am certainly a fan.
It has been a while since I was here and I forgot about the review section but I can see them now - it certainly is an amazing setlist. They probably won't be able to do so many at BDO.

I noticed something a bit interesting when I was listening to a '93 show...the info text says "Maynard's Dick (tease)" and it's clearly a Lite version of Maynard's Dick. However, more than that, it reminded me of something else, what was it...ah! The pre-Schism interlude has also been called 'Maynard's Dick (tease)' by a few tapers but I never really saw the resemblance...until now.

I'll wait until I hear it live (presuming they play it down under) before I judge too much. On bootlegs I can't say I'm blown away by them, but I don't think they're terrible either. Also, my experience with bootlegs is that you don't really get the same feeling with vocals on them as you do live.

Adelaide is me. I'll probably do the Adelaide Big Day Out, and then one of the sideshows in Sydney or Melbourne, depending on timing, ticket availability, etc.

ah yea S.A. home to some of the best wine in the world and more serial killers per capita than anywhere else.
Plus the best place for kangaroo steak. Yum. (just don't over cook it)

we had almost a page without a post from 200L and then he came back and put someone down about their bootlegs. bummer.
now not to get too off topic here.... great to see tool going to australia because even though there is no way in hell ill be going to a show there its nice to know that you guys might be able to see the setlist(s) we got here in the states. now if they will just go to the east coast with the 2010 setlist(s) we could all be happy except for you smelly european types ;)

so is anyone else addicted to this new stream of 1993 soundboards coming out? There have been at least 20 so far, and a couple of them are actually new...

so does that mean your last post was a not-so-subtle indicator for someone to help you out?
Dime, Zomb, Trader's Den, in that order.
Thanks for not being a 200L about it.
Random question: does anybody here happen to know HuntingtonSt? I'm sure almost all of you know of him, but I'm curious if anybody has actually met him or even chatted with him directly online. Does anybody think he has a direct connection to the band?
