I know that Virginia State Police are pretty bad on I-77 assuming that is the way you are going. I always drive 65 the whole way through Virginia.

Kid fucking Rock sells the damn place out everytime, i really don't understand people here. Maybe the show will feel more personal with less people.
Who knows?

Well I just hope they don't cancel due to poor ticket sales. If I thought they'd still play if it was only a couple hundred people I'd be fine with that. But yeah, that X-fest line-up with Hinder will probably excite the rural rock fans around here into coming out more than this will.
But hopefully all goes well and Tool does in fact grace us with their presence on 7/7/07. I'm really looking forward to the show.
Re: 2007/07/07 - Huntington, WV - Big Sandy Superstore Arena
Just bought my ticket earlier today, after a little uncertainty as the result of a lack of funds and a job. So fucking psyched, saw them in 02 when they came to town and it was of course ridiculous.
here's to hoping they play some Undertow songs, even though they haven't been. and maybe some kabalah jokes or something because of the date.
anybody heard any news on the opening act?
also. ideal setlist:
Opiate
Undertow
Flood
H.
Third Eye
Aenema
Disposition/Reflection/Triad
Lateralus
Jambi
Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned
Right In Two
not necessarily in that order

Yeah, no joke. I'm glad I don't have to hear the melting pot of shit anymore.

My bad. Glad to know you just drive slow as opposed to it really taking that long to get there. If it takes you 7 hours from Durham, it would take me almost 11. jesus.

If anyone recalls, Maynard turned his back to the crowd for the whole show, I even believe he did that at the end when the band hugged. Memories.
Re: 2007/07/07 - Huntington, WV - Big Sandy Superstore Arena
I saw this quote on facebook. I thought you guys may get a laugh. I hope i don't offend anybody:
You know you live in Huntington when you can tell what's going on by the number of mullets in town.
200-500: Normal day
501-2000:Monster truck rally
2001-5000: WWE
5001-10,000+: Kid Rock show

Haha, sounds like ya'll need some more people! Thought we'd help out, haha. There'll be about...Um, 9 in our group, I believe. I'm pretty sure that's right. Some coming from Charlotte, some from Jacksonville. A girlfriend of mine is actually flying in that morning and we're driving directly up from the airport, haha.
Figured why not...we're not going to be on the East coast much longer...it's a chance to see more of the country, as well as Tool again!

Re: 2007/07/07 - Huntington, WV - Big Sandy Superstore Arena
:D I'll be there. I've been a fan of tool since the first time I heard Aenima. I recently got my girlfriend hooked on tool.
This is my second concert ever - first tool. This is her first concert ever. It's also my birthday present to her and myself. Her birthday is 07/21...mine is 07/07 :D Best birthday ever.
Re: 2007/07/07 - Huntington, WV - Big Sandy Superstore Arena
I live in ashland and for some reason, I can't be bothered to make the 15 min drive. Just not as excited to see them this time around as I was last year when I caught a show in Pittsburgh. Have fun though to those going.
edit: 3 posts, 3 bincount and I've been here since 2002. I'm the king of all lurkers.
Re: 2007/07/07 - Huntington, WV - Big Sandy Superstore Arena
I cant wait, WV is really overdue for a Tool show. Yea it might not be a major nor minor market but you gotta give love in the most remote places. I wonder if there is gonna be a place where fans are gonna meet up for drinks and whatnot.
Re: 2007/07/07 - Huntington, WV - Big Sandy Superstore Arena
Anyone remember the setlist they played during the Lateralus tour here? I was there but I can't remember every song since it was 5 years ago. I will be at the Monkey bar after the show. If anyone wants to meet up b4 or after, let me know. These fans better bring it this time.
Re: 2007/07/07 - Huntington, WV - Big Sandy Superstore Arena
My sister, her husband, and I just got our tickets! I'm coming from Atlanta, GA and picking them up from Charlotte, NC on my way. This will be my third show this tour, I also saw them in SC and at Bonnaroo.

Thanks! Getting there won't be so bad. I'm leaving Atlanta on Friday after work and then we'll make the rest of the trip on Saturday morning... Now getting home, on the other hand, that will probably take me ten hours! We're going to stay the night somewhere in WV or Virgina... and leave on Sunday morning.
I'll be running on post-tool giddiness *crosses fingers and hopes that Maynard will be nicer than he was at Bonnaroo* though and the drive is a pretty one :O)
We should be arriving at the arena somewhere around two if all goes well. Then we'll be waiting in line until the show starts! (I missed being in the front row for the show at Bonnaroo, dammit I'll be there this time!)
Maybe I will meet some of you there! :O)

Re: 2007/07/07 - Huntington, WV - Big Sandy Superstore Arena
Man I went to the Atlanta show. Long drive but the show was great. Crowd was better than I expected. Pushit was very good. Really thought they were gonna give us Prison Sex since they teased us w/ the intro b4 Lateralus. Maybe we'll get something new at this show. And yeah Melt Banana was about the worst live act I have witnessed. I had to leave while they finished. See you there.
Re: 2007/07/07 - Huntington, WV - Big Sandy Superstore Arena
I couldn't make it to the Atlanta show... and they played Pushit!!!! I saw them in Greenville last month, and they didn't play it. Didn't play it at Bonnaroo either. Maybe I will get lucky in Huntington. *I hope I hope I hope*
Boredom? Maybe :O) But it will be soooooo worth it!
Waiting in line won't be so bad. I'll pack some sunscreen, a pool floatie, and some margaritas... and pretend I'm somewhere else.
Re: 2007/07/07 - Huntington, WV - Big Sandy Superstore Arena
How far is the drive from Atlanta? We've got about 9 hours from Wilmington ((I'm actually in Jacksonville, but we have to drive down to Wilmington, to pick up my girlfriend from the airport, then backtrack an hour up to WV)). Fun times. The rest of our party is coming up from Charlotte, and we'll meet there. SyzygyOfMyMind/Destructicon, if anyone remembers him, is going.
Very excited it's not Melt Banana as well.
How are the after parties? Anyone been to any before?

Re: 2007/07/07 - Huntington, WV - Big Sandy Superstore Arena
For all of you going to this show in our homestate, I wish you the best. I'm not going, cuz my wife is still mad about me sneaking off to Richmond earlier this month. Huntington will be wild. There will definately be a wafting of substance in the air, as we in rural areas like to escape reality, as we have just enough money to do so, but not enough to relocate.
If i were "ya'll," I would pray the show isn't sold out. We are known for when WV citizens congregate in large quantities, we tend to burn couches and try to tear things down like goal posts, especially you northerners.
Luckily for everyone, most of the police were with the National Guard and sent to Iraq. Partay Time!
Re: 2007/07/07 - Huntington, WV - Big Sandy Superstore Arena
Anon-Imus: As long as there are no hugs or "meaningful" moments involved I'm game.
We will be there with gabe_angelfire. This is my first general admission concert since they built the new coliseum in Charlotte and I can't wait.
We are looking for some real weird retarded things to do in the area on Sunday. Does anyone who lives up there know of anything interesting to get into in the area?
