Ok, so...were they doing a show at a high school or what? I used to sing Christmas songs on stages like that when I was in first grade (me and the whole class; nothing special about me).

Re: The Grudge (WARNING: It Hapenned!!)

Re: The Grudge (WARNING: It Hapenned!!)

"Descending" - by far the weakest song of Fear Innoculum. Is this like a "velvet rope" type of thing? Like, the better the song that isn't good enough for you, the cooler you must be? Or do you actually occupy some weird middle zone of musical taste, where you like what Tool doe...

Yeah, but that's only because people in Amsterdam are generally too busy getting baked and spanked to have time for much else, even a Tool show.

My balcony ticket (Boston) was about $79 direct from Ticketmaster (including all fees; the face value might have been $55 or $59 etc.).

I have to contend with public transportation and would like to have an idea of what I'll be dealing with for times. Given that the stated "showtime" is 7:30 and they have an opening band, any guesses as to when Tool will likely go on and how long they might play? I think they played around...

I wish Ticketmaster would let you see the general price tiers before going on sale; by the time they're on sale, sure, you can see the prices, but at that moment you're in a panic trying to nail something down.
