so what's a decent hotel near/between the coliseum & ikea?

12/18/2011 10:49:50 PM

will wait to see setlists from other shows.

12/19/2011 10:33:38 AM

bojangles coliseum is a pretty good place to see a band, enjoyed the show I caught there

12/19/2011 8:11:12 PM

12/19/2011 8:38:06 PM

Tickets are supposed to go on sale tomorrow.

^ is that a serious question?

i hope it's the opposite (but i totally understand your reasoning). if there's one show i don't want to be sitting for, it's tool.

i'm sure, like normal, you'll have both options available.

when are the tickets going on sale?

12/21/2011 8:38:20 PM

i wasn't planning on sitting, i just don't want to get pushed around. i've been to 3 tool shows. 2 of them had seats all the way to the front (with no open standing room. stand at your chair if you want), 1 had a large open floor. i've not been to a show that had both options.

and according to ^^ tickets go on sale tomorrow. my question is where. the show doesn't show up in ticketmaster or stubhub or anywhere else that i've found yet (except in the news section of the tool website)...

i'm just thinking that like most arenas (eg the rbc center), seating is on the outside where people normally sit, and the floor is a mix of seats and general admission tickets.

and yeah, where are they going on sale at...i don't see them anywhere.

12/21/2011 9:27:17 PM

oh. i've never seen the mix in the floor but i haven't been to a ton of concerts either. i saw tool at walnut creek (or whatever they call it now), winston salem, & huntington wv. the other shows i've been to have been sarah mclachlan & there's never general admission there LOL.

hey saps, since you're familiar with the venue, are you familiar with surrounding hotels?

12/21/2011 9:34:47 PM

Anyone found where the tickets are being sold yet?

12/21/2011 9:43:12 PM

no, that's what we were just discussing

12/21/2011 9:47:21 PM

NM, i misread the article -- read it on my phone (small screen) and quick to read it as I got excited. The dallas show goes on sale tomorrow. Still waiting on on-sale dates for the remaining shows.

It should be ticketmaster, all of the other shows for this tour that have gone on sale so far have been through ticketmaster

fuck Entertainment, seriously

12/22/2011 6:32:56 PM

this isn't about music of 2011... (assuming that's the thread to which you're referring)

their last album came out in 2006 & this tour is in 2012.

every time i see this thread i'm all like "oh sweet, bojangles" and then i realize it's about tool

1/3/2012 11:40:47 AM

does Tool typically sell out the arena's etc they play in? It would seem that way, based on how few shoes they play...

1/3/2012 12:31:44 PM

yes, a lot of the shows on this tour are sold out. supposedly, some of the shows sold out in hours. Which I know was common when they were touring to support a new album, but kind of surprised me for this tour. They crashed a non-ticketmaster ticketing service for one show.

I've seen them in Bojangles Col. a couple of years ago, it's not a huge venue, so I would expect it to sell out --- at least to scalpers.

1/3/2012 1:39:10 PM

It's been probably about 10 years since I last saw tool live.

Do they tend to play a lot of their newer stuff?

I'm not a big fan of lateralus or 10,000 days, but if they tend to play mostly opiate through aenima era songs, it'd be worth it.

1/3/2012 2:37:24 PM

the last show i went to, which was to promote 10000 days, was mostly 10000 days, some lateralus (my favorite album btw), and maybe 1-2 older songs. i'll dig around a bit to see if i can find the setlist.

from huntington va in 2007:
Jambi
Stinkfist
46&2
Schism
Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned
Intension/Right In Two
Wings for Marie
10,000 Days
Lateralus
Vicarious


here's one from a more recent show. vegas in 2010:
Third Eye
Jambi
-Ions
Stinkfist
Vicarious
EBA
The Patient
Intolerance
Schism
46&2
-intermission-
Lateralus w/ Gino from Rajas
Aenima

[Edited on January 3, 2012 at 3:15 PM. Reason : ]

1/3/2012 3:10:00 PM

I've seen them a bunch in the past 10 years, both while supporting a new album and when they weren't.

They play some older stuff, mostly 46 & 2, Aenima, Stinkfist (sped up version), and then there are one or two more older songs that they swap out... flood, intolerance, third eye. But they mostly play newer stuff. And they tend to have almost identical set lists night to night (minus the one or two songs they swap out).

Supposedly, they've finished a video for The Pot (which was started years ago). So I imagine they'll be playing that at every show.

These are the setlists I've seen live (I think you'll see they haven't typically played much older stuff):

Winston Salem - 2002

sober
the grudge
stinkfist (extended)
H.
schism
parabol

REALLY WANNA GO

1/3/2012 8:08:07 PM

They only play 10-12 songs that's really freakin lame. When I was at Foo Fighters a few months ago in Charlotte, Dave Grohl cranked out 22 songs.

Bitching aside, I saw Tool on July 5, 1997 at Lollapalooza. It was my first real rock show, it was outdoors and it was wicked. I was on the lawn with my buddy and when Tool took the stage, we jumped the fence with another couple hundred people and I watched the show a few rows from the stage. I remember thinking how weird Maynard was with all his sexual movements throughout the set and humping the microphone and what not. The coolest part was that being the day after the 4th of July, the three main band members each wore these unicolor latex skin-tight suits; Maynard was white, the one guy was red, and the other was blue. Hard to believe that was 15 years ago this year

1/3/2012 10:16:01 PM

so grohl played like 2 actually decent songs?

that's right

i'm hatin'

1/3/2012 11:09:39 PM

The number of songs, or lack there of, is kind of shity. But keep in mind that the average tool song is like 7 minutes with several around12 or so, whereas the average foo fighters song is closer to 3.

It still sucks, but it's not like they're playing half the time.

1/3/2012 11:11:37 PM

^this.

just a few more mins

1/7/2012 9:46:30 AM

it's 10:10 and they're still not available on the site for me. I called, and it's searching but keeps saying there are no seats available even when i ask for "best available." I guess the good thing is tha this will thwart scalpers to some extent... but wtf.

[Edited on January 7, 2012 at 10:12 AM. Reason : .]

1/7/2012 10:10:18 AM

i FINALLY got tickets after the 5th try submitting for best available. section 123 up in the nosebleed section. that's actually kinda what i wanted, but i was pissed that it told me the first 4 times that no tickets were available. it finally showed tickets for sale at about 10:03 for me. i'm not sure wtf ticketmaster is doing.

hotels! suggestions?
