A few days late post, but anyway. Saw Tool in San Jose and Sacramento. Both amazing shows, Tool always delivers. For San Jose I had lower bowl seat to the right, for Sacramento I had floor seats. It was cool to get the two locations. The lower bowl I could se the band clearly so I watched them a lot...

Yes, a thorough APC rig run down. Next I hope they post a thorough APC wig rundown.

Well I am confused about the Toolarmy stuff. But it is the first day of it all, so I'll give time before getting too frustrated. Not like there is really anything to benefit from Toolarmy at this moment in time.
Anyway at least the new visual aspect is cool.

Awesome line-up. that will be a hell of a show for those attending!

I think I know who it is. It starts with a "K" if my guess is accurate. If it is King Crimson...which is what the clickbait sites have rumored so take that with a grain of salt.... but if it is them, I wonder if they are waiting until after their LA Greek Theater show happens to be announ...

the email from the Promoter APE Concerts a couple days before the show reads: Stay Hydrated We encourage you to bring a water bottle to refill at our water stations. We will have multiple stations set up with free water available all night. Remember to stay hydrated throughout the event! Items Allo...

Holy fucking shit. What an amazing show in San Francisco! 1) The band was great. They are so tight and professional. 2) The setlist was amazing: I do like emotive, so I wasn't upset and did enjoy the 2011 tour, unlike a lot of people. That being said, it was great to see this show include a lot more...

Maybe Bandwidth will play. Could be the special quest, or just happen during Crystal Method's set. Though that guess is based on nothing other than the fact Justin and CM will both be there. I guess time will tell.

I'd guess it partly has to do with promoters seeing a Tool tour is happening, then trying hard to get a show booked in one of their promoted venue locations. Tool sells out almost every show, so a Tool show is ideal for promoters. The shows sell out so fast there is no real consequences for doing it...

Got tickets to San Jose and Sacramento. Gonna be great! Always love seeing Tool. Seeing Roger Waters, King Crimson, and Tool in June, gonna be a proggy month!

San Manual Amphitheater is in San Bernardino. It has a HUGE lawn, venue fits 65,000 people total.

If any of you would see them April 29, would you spoil the setlist or keep it as a surprise? I'm not sure yet, but i'm leaning towards going AFK for a while.. I always like to keep it a surprise, and am good about avoiding setlist.fm/message boards. What is harder for me is to avoid music news webs...

True. That's a bummer, but no surprise.

It is odd that Ticketmaster's new design makes it so the ticket price won't be listed until on sale time, don't know why they thought that is a good idea. But anyway looking forward to seeing them again this summer, glad the SF bay area is such a good market for them, so they always come around.

SAP Center in San Jose on June 21st! Super stoked, great way to spend the first day of summer. It is indoors, but that is the better way to see Tool anyway.

If anyone is interested, it looks like (as of the time of this post) Ticketmaster has released more tickets to the San Francisco show, which was previously sold out.

The $350 stage walk with Billy tickets....would be cool if they provided stage light examples while one is on the stage. If those $350 reserved seat tix don't sell, when do you expect they release them as $79 reserved tix? In my ticket buying experience over the years, the front row seats that are ...

I'd be very surprised if Freese were back in the band. Seems playing with Sublime is much more rewarding. Plus he's playing with Sting now. They recently played for the Queen. Does seem funny for someone who plays with the Vandals and The Replacements to play for the Queen. Whatever. Anyway got my ...

Stoked for the San Francisco show! Bill Graham is always a good place to see shows. Interesting that the seats upstair are reserved as opposed to general admission for the whole venue. Guess that is good for the people who usually wait in line for hours before doors open to get a good seat. I'll sti...

I was unaware of Josh not being interested. I don't really keep up with APC as much as TOOL. What's the reason behind Josh's decision? I don't know the actual reason for his departure because no one has commented on details directly, but this what I think the reason was based on interviews from Jos...

Awesome video! Really enjoyed that.

Also want to remind people that this tour (for the San Francisco date at least, and I assume for the other shows as well) that a copy of the book is included with the ticket. I cancelled my pre-order when I got my ticket, so others might want to do the same if they weren't aware of that.

Sweet, Laura Milligan moderating SF. That will be great, she is hilarious. Looks likes these events will all have different vibes each night with the variety of the moderators.

Maynard talks about wrestling. You know you want to listen to it.
