The Grudge (WARNING: 26 years to #6?)

[nxrm]

The ticketing industry is such a pile of shit these days. Although I frequently wonder if, similar to the US's "maniac cop" predicament, if it's simply a case where we didn't have the technology to have all of it right in our faces these days. Maybe it was this bad in the 80s you just never knew about it?

Very true. As Hellboy, and others have discussed numerous times, Tool could also make more of an effort connecting their fan base with tickets.

No doubt. Definitely not saying they shouldn't do more in that regard.

Even if and when they do though... it always looks like this. Radiohead goes out of their way, as does NIN, and all of their shows wind up like this (with far more exorbitant prices for Radiohead, I might add. The lower level seats on stubhub for their shows are enough to make me simply not go if I miss the initial sale).

A simple free market supply and demand in effect I guess...still can't shake that grudge though.

QOTSA had a nice little pre-sale setup. Sign up via email and cell phone number. They send you a text message with a code to purchase before general on-sale.
Bottom line is Tool is too lazy to set something simple like this up. They sell out every show, the money is in their hands and they don't care where it came from.

Tool are more of a joke than Michael Bay.

Oh wait, I just remembered.

Michael Bay does stuff.....

[UndKeineZwEier]

I bet he gets emails too.

That's harsh. True, but harsh.

Had the realisation that in the bands first 9 years of existence we received:

1 Ep.
3 full length albums
7 film clips
A live cd/video box set

In the 16 years thats followed we have received:

1 album.
1 video clip.

Fuck those guys.

[Pimple]

The fucking silence is deafening... There is nothing, at least when Blair was writing newsletters there was something to read, think and talk about... But since the new and super crap website launched and the tour stopped.... Fucking silence... So boring TOOL.... Bring back the fucking newsletters I loved reading that shit....

[ziggy23]

Lazy dickheads.

[Ravenpig]

Loulz

The newsletters went from “what is this crap??!!”

To

“Bring them back!!!”

Nah, I think the ones that want them back enjoyed them in the first place.

[Busty McCracken]

I dont think i ever managed to get through an entire article of his dribble once

[trilobite]

They were amusing, and occasionally actually interesting, when the band was active. They tied in on the periphery. Without any Tool activity I can't be bothered.

I think it’s about time to bring this thread back to the top.

[the chill]

Fuck Tool and them taking so long to record their new album........... wait a min, I guess there is nothing else for me to bitch about, except for Trumps tiny hands.

[M0G]

I think it’s about time to bring this thread back to the top.

Yeah I got nothin. The only real venom I have in me is aimed at Trump, the GOP, the NRA, FOX News, Racists, Homophobes, White Supremacists, etc

[Bill Hilly]

I'm glad somebody finally grabbed Tool by the pussy to get this show on the road.

[Calfium Jay]

[hellboy]

At least the pussy grabbing got shit done. You didn't see a Tool album during Obama's term. I bet we see another album out before Trump is done.

Man none of those things worry me, we live in a progressive western society, sometimes people in yours go on a shooting spree, what's the big deal?

It's a tough pill to swallow, but you have a point. 4 more years. 4 more years. 4 more years. 4 more years.

[ziggy23]

4 more years. 4 more years. 4 more years. 4 more years.

2018 + 16 = 2034 confirmed, fuuuuuuuuck...

[M0G]

@Tool - Fucking lazy asses hurry the fuck up. 10 hour days like the rest of us. Drums should already be done I don't wanna hear any bullshit about buzzes, studio changes or exploding drum heads. Get to work.

@APCDepheceModeEmotive2018 - Go fuck yourself

@Kittaan - Eat a bag of dicks ya wrinkly old fuck

That was fun. I might even have a rant or two left in me. I will save that for the summer when everything goes quiet in the Tool camp while they wait around for dipshit Maynard to finish with this Depeche Mode tour.

New album's coming soon. It's finally, actually happening. Let's agree to disagree. I have very high hopes the music will blow you (this) away.


Is there an option yet to hear the music pre-vocals?

[trilobite]

I hope you all appreciate the new album
