Where you hear that?

They have been touring solidly for the last month and currently making their way down the US west coast after a week in Canada,. Latest interview with Adam says writing is still happening, slowly, and Maynard yet to have his input.

 

[zombie jesus]

Bump.

It's a wonderful day.

 

[Mong]

Agreed.

If there's no sideshow, I will cry.

Overall I probably have the greatest appreciation for Lateralus, although big fan of all the albums.

Got to see them live for the first time in 2002 in Wellington, which funnily enough coincided with the weekend I saw league live for the first time (Warriors v Bulldogs). Was blown away, right from the Melvins opening, to the weird crazy soundcheck (all kinds of evil creepy noises), to the weird naked upside down people hanging down writhing all contortedly during one of the songs, to the EXTREME loudness.

Also, saw them at BDO '07 (Muse-Tool closer was epically mean) and got to hear one of my favourite tracks Forty Six & Two (which they didn't play in 2002). Cameo by Serj on Sober was also great.

Absolutely looking forward to them again at next year's BDO, even though I'm unaware if they even have new material.



Also love the first two Perfect Circle albums (eMOTIVe, yeah not so much), which I also got to see live in 2004. Which was great, although coincided with a massive flooding the night or two before up and down the country, so they were unable to bring much of their stage show, so it was a rather stripped down & raw show (music still rocked the party that rocks the body).

No new material since 10000 days as yet.

They have announced a couple of side shows being in Brisbane Jan 24 and Melbourne Feb 2..

Apparently no Sydney since they are doing 2 BDO's there.

I will skip the BDO and head straight for the Brisbane side show.

I despise festivals - please do a Sydney show!

 

[Mong]

I agree HD.. Way too many f*ck heads at the BDO now days to make it worth the effort.

I haven't been since the last time tool played and I think that will be my last.

 

[zombie jesus]

I'll be heading to Brisbane and Melbourne. Pissed there's no Sydney side show though.

It is, should have worded it "studio release".
Go see them, it will change your life!! No not really, but they're f**king great.
