I’ll just go right into it. ‘ Not feeling very artsy right now. ISIS: I wanted to like Isis, I really did, but after giving them the chance I trust they deserved (listening to their first two songs–couldn’t tell you what they were), I found that I just wasn’t into it. It’s hard to feel a band on a spiritual level while their playing live, like Isis want, when you… Read More »Guest Reviewer: Panoply
Sales of the Tool concerts yesterday have made it into the Herald Sun today. The article talks about the tickets selling quick and getting up on Ebay. It also talks about the possibility of more shows. Personally, I think these extra shows are just the Big Day Out dates, but for the sake of those who missed out, I hope they’re not. Thanks to Nemesis for the link.
Thanks to Reg for this link where Kirk Hammet from Metallica talks about playing with Tool in Hawaii. Here’s an excerpt: When it came time for me to play I was so locked into the vibe that I started really quietly while building the solo. By the last third of the solo I turned on Adam’s delay setting and played some really high notes that felt like the top of… Read More »Kirk talks about playing with Tool
Well, it looks like both shows have sold out, as we expected Melbourne pretty quickly, shortly followed by Sydney at around 10:00am. 1 Hour to sell out ain’t so bad. Despite blackouts and Murphey trying to prevent me from doing so, I managed to get Sydney tickets,though they’re seated and waaaaaay up the back – but at least I’m in the building. I know there’s plenty of people who missed… Read More »Ticket Meltdown
That number in the last post for Ticketmaster is wrong, try 1300 883 622 instead. Good luck to all of you again!
According to many Kiwi’s, Danny confirmed last night that Tool will be playing on the Big Day Out. That’s no surprise to anyone I’m sure. Presumably the official BDO announcement will be made in the coming weeks. Part 2 of the interview will apparently show some more detail into the hobbies of the various members. Maybe someone will Youtube it. Looks like Ticketmaster won’t be having a Pre-sale for the… Read More »Danny Confirms Big Day Out
Mattia sent me this link today in which Aaron from Isis speaks to MTV. They talk about their tour plans, and how they hope to tour here in Australia later on this year. This suggests to me that they won’t be playing with Tool in January. Aaron also talks about the new CD In The Absence Of Truth, which you can preview by downloading the new song Dulcinea from Ipecac.… Read More »Isis Tour, Vinyl Trading
Just a little confirmation on details for the Sydney Tool show on the 24th of January. Prices are $115 for Gold tickets, which is General Admission, and $90 for Silver, which are the seats at the back. GA will be my goal but anywhere in the building will be good enough for me. I signed up to the Ticketmaster website online the other day, and got an email with details… Read More »Sydney Update
Mike tells me that there will be an interview with Adam and Danny on New Zealand’s TV3. The interview on Nightline, which starts at 10:30 on Wednesday night, allegedlly confirms Tool‘s position on the Big Day Out lineup.
For those interested, here’s a copy of the Press Release for the announced Tool Australian Tour in 2007: https://www.fourtheye.net/download/Tool_2006.pdf Edit: The PDF file seems to be buggered for some reason, so here’s a picture instead. CSS file seems back to normal somewhat know as well. Might do some more tweaking over the weekend. Anyone with layout/cpolour scheme suggestions, feel free to let me know, as it’s about time for a… Read More »Tour Press Release
