Got an email today from Rick, who is selling what he claims to be a Master recording of the Undertow album on DAT tape. From the Ebay sale page:
There is not much to explain I mean this is the real deal . It was obtained from a personal friend who knew people who worked at larrinkin Management.
This particular MASTER RECORDING is for the Cassette Version. NEVER in the history of ebay have anything has ever been available like this. This DAT cassette is even before any testpressing. Straight from the studio.
Buy it now price is US$1500. Considering the Aussie dollar is almost worth the same as the US dollar then someone from Down Under with more money than sense should have a go at it…

Finally, Big Day Out‘s in Sydney, Gold Coast, Adelaide, Melbourne, Auckland and Perth are now mostly on sale. Sydney and the Gold Coast have sold out, with a new Sydney show to go on sale on the 11th of October. Those still wanting Gold Coast tickets can enter a ballot to do so. Visit the Big Day Out page for details. I believe the Melbourne event is sold out as well, though I think you may still be able to get them from Ticketmaster. There will probably be a ballot for this show as well. I’d expect Auckland, Adelaide and Perth to sell out in the coming weeks…
Still no news on sideshows!
Sigh….I’m losing hope for sideshows!

Well Rammstein are definitely not doing a side show. http://www.metalobsession.net/06/10/2010/news/no-rammstein-sideshows-bdo-on-sale-dates
Can only hope for a Tool one.
Rammstein may be a bit different…I don’t know if we would have many venues that they could sell out in Sydney or Melbourne that could handle their pyro etc.
I’m just making assumptions though…

I want that tape.
that tape thing sounds a little crazy, i would want to see it first

Yes I Do!!! 🙂
Indeed, very suspicious. Then again, D.A.T.s are super old and D.A.T. players are hard to find cheap; maybe it is legit, but not for the suggested price, though, in my opinion.
I don’t know about the rest of you but it seems like there’s nothing some people won’t do to make a buck off these guys and/or their stuff. IF it’s what they say it is, why don’t they just give it back to them? Ultimately, it’s their work, not the studios or the mgmnt corp.
just my 2 cents.

Well Said.
i agree with you mrs jones. its seems wrong to profit off of someone elses work, unless that someone gives their blessing. but welcome to the new world. morals, values, integrity are all on the decline. this is just a small example of an evolving problem.
Yeah totally agree, why don’t they just flick Maynard a txt, and tell him to come round and pick it up.
Junior, are you looking forward to your stay in Honolulu?
Nice fishing!
My understanding is that the DAT tape is legit, and hasn’t been “stolen” in any way. There’s no way I can be sure it’s the real deal (I don’t know the seller outside of what we’ve discussed via email) but for me there’s no red flags either saying it’s a fake at all.
Should he give it back to the band? My response would be why? I don’t think it contains anything the band doesn’t already have.
What kind of Tool would you have to be to give a tape to the band that we don’t have and they already do?
Anyway Junior would you like to borrow a surfboard when your here?
i’d give it back to the band if it meant meeting them in person or getting like a poster signed by everyone or something. but either fair enough to sell it in my opinion, its memorabilia.

that DAT is completely bogus..”master studio recordings” are not made on those kind of cassettes. Tool also record all of their (master) studio material on analog..then transfer it to digital. I’d guess what this is..since this half-ass desciption makes no sense whatsoever..is simply a DAT rip of the cassette mix..POSSIBLY made at a studio..but even that (best case scenario)..who gives a fuck? whenever people see the word “master” they get all hot and bothered..truth is that word is rarely used correctly..especially on Ebay.

super excited to see Tool at BDO (though normally not a BDO girl, bought a ticket just to see them and Deftones). fingers crossed for a sideshow, well worth the flight to whichever city it happens in!
^ it would appear we share a similar, somewhat decent taste in music at a glance
…kinda like panties getting wet whenever so much as a whisper of “petemasterpete” crosses their auditory nerves
