Thx, Apparently New Mexico doesn't have wireless service in the venue or they don't know what the internet is.

My brother-in-law and I will be driving from Tulsa also! Where's the after party?! We lucked out with Row AA. At the Tulsa show we had Row A and it was TOO close. This is just behind the GA pit.

I CAN'T WAIT!!

LPPanther

Seriously, I'm dying without updates haha.

TOOLwrench

you got good seats melba,i got pit HELL yeah,i dont think you can be too close unless you're there for visuals,further back may be better. I had rail at both OKC Lateralus shows and i was happy there. I normally get pit tickets to most shows.
what other concerts are you guys going to this summer?
I got TOOL Dallas (obviously)
Mayhemfest OKC (slayer manson etc)
Hatebreed with Chimaira OKC
Emmure with evergreen terrace Tulsa
KATTFEST OKC (BLS Static X Suicide silence Mudvayne Bury your dead)
LAMBOFGOD with GWAR and Job for a cowboy OKC

MelbaToast454

Well I guess I wasn't too close at the Tulsa show but as far as visuals go. I was so close Maynard hit my brother in face and reflected into my hands! haha he joked about me selling it on ebay but I just fuckin drank it right there.

I won't tell u how much I spent on these tickets but I had to spend a little more than usual but I've always wanted to see Tool in a small setting like Nokia. This will be my 5th show.

This summer so far I got a ticket to see the Melvins August 24th! When is Mayhemfest?
I can't believe the Melvins are playing Tulsa and headlining the show (Marquee).

TOOLwrench

The Melvins are playing the diamond ballroom OKC also.
I saw them with TOOL on the Aenima tour back in 98.
This is my 7th show and i've been to this venue to see Killswitch Engage with LambofGod.
Mayhemfest is august 16th at the zoo amphitheatre,its like 12 bands.
go to zooamp.com

dude i hate the 5 hour drive coming back from dallas.
are you coming home that night? I am..........i walk in the door at about 5 in the morning. we've done this 2 or 3 times before,its exhausting but worth it.

Tmax

Fuck no man... I've made that drive after a concert before but never again... I splurged months ago for a decent hotel five minutes from the Theatre . Good thing I did it when I did cause I am barely gonna be able to afford gas, food, and merch!!

Someone at my work asked if I was going to the show with White Snake? Couldn't say if it was this or San Antonio. Uhhh?

edit:// nevermind, saw something about Judas Priest and White Snake the next night.

Wait till this weekend. Nokia is a kick ass venue.

EyesOfAFallenAngel

Yeeeah. I asked her where the fuck she heard that, because it sounded absurd. She said she didn't remember, and then said "I wonder who would open for who?" wtf. no.

I think Faith No More will be at the show tomorrow night! I could be wrong but there are a lot of cryptic posts by jmk on fourtheye.net that seem to hint in that direction. Should be amazing. Now if they would only play Sober!

hboghbog0

Who is that "jmk" guy on fourtheye? I can't imagine that it's Maynard, but they are certainly talking like they are in the know.

And Faith No More at that show would be Epic!

Ganjalf

Faith no more is not going to show up don't get your hopes up.

no, faith no more will not 'show up' at the show.
that sounds a bit ridiculous

But im curious how many of you think that we will see anything... any change in the setlist, cover song, altered version of a song, anything at all that world justify Blair saying:

"One of the best Tool shows ever will be on JULY 25... at the NOKIA THEATER at GRAND PRAIRIE. And being that it's such a big state... who knows... maybe more."

i mean... i think theres gotta be something to that statement...
but when has tool ever pulled out a 'surpise' for their fans?
other than once they played a extra extra encore of Faaip de Oiad. thats pretty fucking surprising.

im hoping to see something.

yeah, i seriously doubt faith no more will play tomarrow night.

especially considering that theyre playing in EDINBURGH SCOTLAND at the flippin CORN EXCHANGE festival... haha

i dont know who the fuck jmk is at fourtheye, but hes a nob.

WOOT! getting ready for drive to dallas. At show, i'll tweet if I get cell reception. You can follow me at jambi. I know, I know. I just really was into that song when I created my account. Anybody heading to the racetracks? Hope everyone has a safe drive to show.

Man, some buddies went to SA show. Kinda jealous but whatever. Nokia here I come!!!!!

plexus

the dallas show will be 10 times better. its way way smaller. every seat is a good view.

Anyone know what time Tool has been going on this tour?

Also, for those who have been to Nokia, does the pit get pretty violent?

Sp00k

No, the pit is not at all violent. They usually go on 1 hr after the ticket time. So 9pm tonight!

goosenesque

Ya I figured since it looks like a pretty small pit, there wouldn't be as much madness.

I hope this show ends up as epic as that clown Blair made it sound.

jwb

Just got to big D. Haven't checked a setlist all week. As sad as this sounds, I feel like I accomplished something. I gotta get a life.

See you guys tonight!

kanaduh

jwb i'll give you a call when i get to dallas.

you going to atlanta as well?

Cool. Not sure about ATL. Don't have tickets and I should probably go to work.

teknofear

Can. Not. Wait. Got my ticket online the morning ticketbastard released them, I lucked out and got sec 101, Row Q seat 1.

TMAX, I think I'm right behind you...

Have seem several shows at Nokia, and I have high expectations for the performance tonight... There's really not a bad seat in the house, but this will be the closest I've been at Nokia, as well as the closest to seeing Tool - have always had lower balcony seats for some odd reason.

HOLYFUCKINSHIT - They did "FLOOD" last night in San Antonio...


This will be fucking amazing.

Let's keep the setlist talk out of this thread. A lot of people haven't looked at the setlists and want to be surprised (not that they ever change the setlist anyway).

At the horse racing track across the street from the Nokia. It's about the only thing to do in GP.
