I don't. :(

...and you call yourself a Tool fan. lol.

But I also call myself a potato.

hahahahaha... ok, you win.

Make that TWICE for Lateralus (once previously in 1997 for Aenima).
The second Lateralus concert had a fantastic setlist - opening with Flood and they also played The Patient and Swamp Song . . .that was a treat.

So yeah, even if its not til late 06/early 07 I can wait.

Tool and deftones have been confirmed to play Japan's Summer Sonic festival August 12 and 13, which clashes with some of the Australian rumoured dates,

fuk

or www.summersonic.com

I guess that's why they call them rumours. :(

"Jap" dates........LOL. I need a Jap date.

EDIT. 100th post. Yay.

Roadrunner recordings is technically an official source, although it's not a very good one... We'll just have to wait and see what the official word is from the band.

"Jap Date"...why don't you just change it to "***** date"..?
Way to be inconsiderate

If Tool are in Japan around August 12th I'd imagine they'd come to Australia either shortly before or after that time - they played a few shows in April '02 in Japan before coming to Australia so I'd imagine they'd do something similar this year etc.

Just waiting for Blair/Toolband to confirm it and hopefully update us Aussies...

I like Roadrunner, Type O Negative's on it.

didnt mean to be a wanker, sorry if it came across as such

i dont care about Jap dates.......i want american dates

AMERICA! - FUCK YEAH!

nevermind aussie dates what about good old NZ - U2 sold 80,000 tickets down here for two dates.

i was drinking tea when i read "JAP" ...my keyboard is now covered in tea. VERY NICE!

Hell yeah.

This better be true or close to the truth...
I'll be coming over from NZ for the Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide shows.
+ Any New Zealand dates. I've been told by their chef Chris that NZ dates are looking like January 2007. But I don't trust him, he lost my $20.

WHICH MEANS I NEED CONFIRMMMAATTIOON SO I CAN BOOK MY FLIGHTS WHILE THEY'RE STILL REALLY CHEAP!

C'mon boys, give us a rock!

bad luck, you will be waiting a little while for rock solid Australian dates. Well maybe not that long.

Some Japanese dates have been announced in early-mid August. So applying the known path of previous tours, they should come to Australia soon after that.

yeah, cos like, i didn't tell you a week or two ago that those dates were wrong

although, if they're in japan on august 12/13, then they'll almost certainly be here just before or after that

then show my thread some love

Pff, Japanese can't even speak english. They are not worthy of Tool.

Neither can Americans yet Tool keep touring and touring....

Good point...

Let's hope its just a teaser in August, like last time. Otherwise i think im gonna have to come over for the Melbourne/Adelaide shows. IF this is the only dates, i'm damn spewin their not coming to perth. Although we are running out of fuckin venues, so i can't half blame them. only time will tell...

I think the dates that have been going around are either fake, or at best an early draft, or perhaps submission from Tools management to a local touring company. I have no doubt we will see them, though I'd be surprised if it was before the Japanese dates.

i thought august 8 sounded a tad to sweet to be true

Triple J today confimed TOOL are definitely touring Australia shortly after the release of the new album but no dates were annouced or confirmed.

Was that on last night's (Tuesday 21/03/06) Full Metal Racket? If so, how far into the show do you think it was?

Otherwise, good to hear that Tool are DEFINITELY coming... apparently?

Better late than never.

I heard it during the afternoon on music news. They also said that U2 are going to come back and that Pearl Jam will be touring in either November or February.

now thats something to look forward to...

i also heard that the album release date could eb false also. because apparently Pearl Jam are set to release their album on may 2nd and their both under teh same company (sony) so it just wouldnt happen...

Trav

Where and when exactly did you hear this?

Also, with the release dates, who knows? The Tool album could come out earlier/later, or the Pearl Jam album could be earlier/later, or both at the same time... I wouldn't worry about it too much. We will eventually get the album...

I'm sure Sony are capable of release more than 1 CD in a day.....
From a marketing point of view they may not though, but it may not be their decision when to release.

yeh, sorry, thats wat i was getting at. could be pearl jam OR tool, who knows. and yeh the source i got that from said Sony just wouldnt do it cos of marketing etc. maybe this means australias 29th April release could be true...

i don't care, whichever date, it'll be worth the wait.

Trav

That's ok, I thought that's probably what you meant. Thing is, first day music sales are generally driven by fans anyway, and if there was a fan of both PJ and Tool, and the CD happened to be released on the same day, they'd probably buy both anyway.

Well, I don't know how old this is but Australia has finally caught on - check out the Sanity link below, it says May 1st is the release date!!

http://www.sanity.com.au/product.asp...tArtistID=8845

That's pretty cool if you ask me - May 1st is gonna be a great day! Sanity should do well that day too as Pearl Jam's new album is released at the same time...

I will be at Sanity (i still have $25 left on a gift voucher from Xmas!) at like 9am Monday May 1st although I might try asking them about it on the Saturday or Sunday just in case I can get it early etc.? From there it's only a 5min walk (downhill - great) to my stereo and 77 minutes of long-awaited Tool goodness! Only trouble is I have 5 or 6 hours of class that day...

Anyway, hope some tour news comes soon.

Also, with the text 'Tool' and '10,000 days' NOT on the cover, I actually think the cover is pretty good - it definitely fits with my pre-conception of what Tool's albums should look like. I always expected something dark/black, just like Lateralus, Aenima and Undertow...

I think it will look great at live shows if they display that 3 sided head/face on the giant projection screens and slowly move/rotate it, similar to the 'flaming eyes' animation on the Lateralus tour... I reckon it would look cool slowly spinning around, possibly with the eyes all slowly opening and lighting up etc. I'm sure Tool have got some trippy artwork planned for their gigs...

New release CD's come out on Saturdays in Australia (used to be Sundays), so if the stock in there on time you should be able to get it on the Saturday beforehand. It would be unusual for the CD to be embargoed until the 1st of May.
I work for Brazin (the company that is Sanity, Virgin and HMV) which makes me credible, I should hope.
