I think the chances for Flood are decent. I don't think they will play The Pot though. If you look at the setlists from the last part of this tour, they haven't played it very often. I could be wrong though. I don't really care if we get it or not. I like the song but its not one of my favorites.
Re: 2007/07/07 - Huntington, WV - Big Sandy Superstore Arena
i've heard flood at both shows i've been to this year, but it's so amazing live i wouldn't be disappointed if i heard it a 3rd time. i would prefer to hear pushit or right in two though, simply because i've never heard either live. (i've heard the salival version of pushit but never the album version they've been playing).

you would definitely not be disappointed. first time i heard was 6/5 when they played it for the first time and my friends and i went crazy. that was such a great surprise. they didn't include the full intro though. the next show i went to i was hoping to hear something else and when it become obvious it was gonna be flood again i was only slightly disappointed. but then i realized they were gonna play the full intro this time and it was more than worth it....such an amazing song.
Re: 2007/07/07 - Huntington, WV - Big Sandy Superstore Arena
I would love to get AEnema as a closer regardless of what we get during the rest of the show. What I wouldn't give to hear, "Goodnight everyone, drive home safely...Hey hey hey hey hey!" But I know that we will get a hell of a show regarless. Small arena, no bad seats and a Saturday night show on 7/7/7....believe!
Re: 2007/07/07 - Huntington, WV - Big Sandy Superstore Arena
Aenima is my favorite Tool song and I have been fortunate enough to hear it as a closer twice on this tour. No song could be better to end the show with.
Re: 2007/07/07 - Huntington, WV - Big Sandy Superstore Arena
Under 24 hrs from now, the best thing to happen to Huntington since 2002(last time Tool played in WV) will have just occured. Everyone have a safe trip into "The Mountain State" greet ones at bars and steakhouses hell even buy them a beer(worth a try) and talk some music. Good times.
Re: 2007/07/07 - Huntington, WV - Big Sandy Superstore Arena
Coming from Beckley, Were leaving soon, to wait in line, for the dude asking about pot, put a joint in a pen. Alcohol, maybe a bottle of water if they let u take that in and its Vodky, u can always put pot in a baggie in a hollowed out Zippo, or a tampon box. Most venues allow u take one bottle of water in. Ozzfest does. See you der. Imma take my cell phone in for pics, I may take a disposable camera in, I'm not risking my digital getting taken. Ill have on a FOR THE HORDE Warcraft shirt, and a Warcraft hat if anyone wants to say hey. Im eatin at a gas station, cause I'm poor, lol, Ill also be taking donations for gas, LMAO!

Yeah, seriously. Let's act like we've got some sense this time people. NO FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY. This can be the difference between a good show and a great show.

Yeah, don't be the idiot that everyone posts about in the review section after the show.... you know, the one that people say that they should have died in a car crash after the show or that they should never have been born... That guy.
Re: 2007/07/07 - Huntington, WV - Big Sandy Superstore Arena
This was my first TOOL show and I agree with all I have ever heard, they are absolutely amazing! The lights, the effects, and the sound is mind blowing. Maynards creativity on the stage, humping his hat, it was all awesome. The dipshit crowd, however.... We were 4 rows back from the stage. At first it was OK, some bumping, shoving, nothing too bad. I've been to many shows in my life and I know how to deal with it. Then the drunks got loose, some fights broke out. Props to security for handling it very well. Anyways....I'm a big guy, I slowly made my way to the back 'cause I was hot and having some trouble breathing. So, I left my wife and her brother and a good friend, I walked upstairs and had a great view of the stage, the people upstairs had a great treat with the floor lights. I'm sitting there hearing Schism and watching the video thinking about my wife and how its her favorite song. Then I decide to go smoke. I just lit my smoke and my friend Shane calls me and tells me Mandi had gotten hurt. I go inside and meet them and find out a dude, let me repeat that, a DUDE punched her twice. Once in the mouth, and once in the left eye. So everyone told me the TOOL crowd is a stoner crowd, um no. Stoners don't know what the word punch means. Buuuuuut after it happed her brother walked her to the back and found the dude, because the lame ass ran away. \m/ And to make a long story short, the dude got his bitch ass knocked out. We're pretty sure he was assisted up by EMT's, wtf ever. They finally found my asthmatic ass. We decided to just leave. This was so upsetting man. I just don't get how some people feel the need to get so drunk that they end up punching random people in the face. I did go back and look for the guy and was told to leave. We're home now all the way back in Beckley. We still love Maynard and the guys. They didn't do it, they are merely artists conveying. However, the drunk redneck ice may help. KUNG POW BIATCH!

WOW! This was my first TOOL concert, and HOLY CRAP! They really rocked folks. And Big Business had a good set also. The drummer pretty much carried them. SO well actually that he came on stage and played with Tool for a great little battle. He's impressive, and we may hear from him again.
But what was up with Maynard still making the smart mouthed comment "Thanks for coming down here Columbus," insinuating that the people of Huntington aren't appreciative enough? That artsy-fartsy attitude is so gay... But other than that and him hurrying off the stage afterward while the rest of the band showed its appreciation for our absolutely amazing crowd. The crowd was great, but he ran off while the guys stood and waved, bowed, etc.
Oh and the 10min intros were a little uncalled for also.
Not meaning to complain because it was an absolutely amazing show. I'd like to see them again on THIS TOUR it was so good. I'm just psyched, at 3am. Time to bother my wife and get to sleep.

My room is next to that suite :O) I was too shy/tired to make any attempt to verify my suspicions.. Besides, if I had actually run in to anyone... I would have pissed my pants, and probably stuttered, and then promptly shit myself. The security guard at the show said that they spent the day riding their bikes around town :O) Cool. I'm off to get some sleep but I will catch up with you guys tomorrow!
Re: 2007/07/07 - Huntington, WV - Big Sandy Superstore Arena
Nevermind, I read on. So it's the stuff on the screens then? That could be pretty cool to just put on the albums and play that while you listen. I didn't even notice it at the show, how much was it?
Re: 2007/07/07 - Huntington, WV - Big Sandy Superstore Arena
To Pewturd:
IF you have seen Tool before, the fact that Maynard leaves quickly should be no surprise to you. If you haven't seen Tool before, now you know.... so get over it or don't go.
To gabe_angelfire:
That is awesome. I was gonna come up to Huntington yesterday to just fuck around before the show but I didn't. It would have been awesome to see them out somewhere.
To mercurykeith & Kangaroo:
The DVD was $25. You can buy it from Chet Zar's website, so I wouldn't worry about not getting it at the concert. The way he explains it, makes it sound like it is just 13 pieces of artwork that loop like at the shows. I mean that is cool and all but I'm not sure it is worth $25... maybe I'm wrong.
