ok, my turn.... Coming from NZ for the Melbourne shows I was just as excited to be visiting a new city for the first time as I was to see Tool again, and travelling with my wife for our first extended break since we had kids 12yrs ago was a treat! short n sweet...Great to finally meet the FE crew. a...

Thanks. Suspected as much. Went to the brisbane side show in 2011 and everyone was sitting. It threw me a bit. Guess we're not as cultured in NZ lol

I do have a question, this senior has a bad back and has chosen a seat for the shows. whats the general rule in Aussie stadiums? Can you stand if you choose to? or is everyone cordial and sitting?

haha yes, i wont lie, i could be mistaken for a senior...

Cheers HB

another possibly stupid question? i'm anticipating there could be other tool fans also prepping, will there be something to identify the group? ya, know maybe a secret password? sign or name tags with our usernames..."hello my name is...." that'd be funny

yea it is. my auntie lives in the Corromandel. its a world away from life in Wellington.

i never bothered reading this thread, i just thought it was someone taking the piss! especially given OPs name, but that was hilarious!

FYI i'm way back from '97 - Wellington town hall. Mad fan by then, but too drunk to fully appreciate what i witnessed that night.

yep, my plan is to try and lay low until after Melbourne Night 1. easier said then done...spent a lot my time in Reddit for the past few months. Some absolute clowns on there, but its good for information

be our first time to Melbourne, i am looking forward to seeing some of the sights there. big sports fan, gonna do one of the MCG tours lol

yea mate, not bad eh! yep, the south Island is especially stunning. I wanna see all of it one day! take the family round...

yea bro! a man few words....and plenty of lurking to be had at the Imperial it would seem!

will do cheers man

haha! cheers fellas, i opted out of night 2 in 2001 Lateralus tour, Brixton Academy in London for a job interview (for a pub job lol) one of my biggest regrets. couldn't do it again. Hopefully see you then. I got sick of the crap here a few years ago, with a few members (who have all moved on) and i...

i'm flying solo Sunday, but seated. Not confident i'll be able to make the Saturday hook up (i have a large group i'm going with) so if the night 2 hook up plans are decided upon, i'd appreciate a public service announcement here!! cheers

yep i'm keen, flying in from Wellington on the Friday. group of us going on the 22nd so i'll need to coordinate with their plans. just last night managed to convince the wife i should do night 2 also!!! managed to score a gold ticket for that, stoked! So, if there is another meet up for the 23rd, i ...

How was the evening? Do you know of anyone importing his wines into NZ? I'm interested to know how his chat goes at the Pinot Noir event in Wellington...doing my best not to be a fan boy and go say hello as its right by my work. I doubt very few tool/APC/puscifer fans would even know he's in town. ...

MJK does seem a little bit more willing to challenge himself these days, but yes there are a range of songs, and I'm thinking Aenima and Undertow in particular that I don't think he could pull off. I think Lateralus could be done though. Yea I reckon lateralus would be very possible. But as you sai...

Yea for several reasons too. All MJK. Ya know.. healing process and anger issues sorted! . Not to mention vocal ability. I don't think the other 3 would have any problem playing their album's in full?

Sorry not sure how to copy the video in...But, let me introduce BEASTWARS!!!

They hail from Lower Hutt, Wellington New Zealand. NZ sludge metal at its finest! this is the first song from their upcoming third (and possible their last) album.

enjoy!

Yes I wondered too! Out of hope really...I instantly thought it might be times perfectly with a tour!

stumbled across this news article earlier. Living here in Wellington and being a wine enthusiast...i must just try and get along to this next year.

couldnt agree more with you here hellboy!. I have suspected this for a while now. we get weeks/months of nothing from them, and you start to think that maybe, they have been busy at work and will drop a bombshell and release the damn thing. but, nope..nothing. Something is wrong in the land of Tool...

There's a whole bunch of things that don't seem right in regards to this latest album. Something is or has been wrong within the band, either it's extreme laziness, some kind personal problems, writers block or all of the above. couldnt agree more with you here hellboy!. I have suspected this for a...

Hey guys,

Question: this is only speculation that there is some announcment right? possibly July 3rd... and this is based on the BMB hand drawn Tool gig Fan BBQ gig poster that was dated July 3rd, a few months back?

there is no "new" indication news is coming????....
