    So I got tickets today to see tool next month in Ft. Worth. I can't freaking wait! The past couple years I have been trying to get to one of their gigs, but every time they are playing near me something comes up that prevents me from going. Not this time! It's gonna be awesome!
    saw them twice last year AMAZING enjoy!

    A couple questions for people that have seen them already:

    How long are their sets usually? I'm pretty excited for this show, but I'm gonna be bummed if they play a short set and call it a night...

    Do they play a good variety of songs from new and old albums, and do they switch up their setlists? I'm wondering if they are one of those bands that puts together a setlist and plays it for entire tours...

    There is very little variation in their setlists from show to show however this isn't like Metallica-Syndrome, i.e. laziness, TOOL have a complex lights and visuals stage show organised for certain songs so they can't do what Pj do and decide on the night "Hey let's play Opiate". The show is around 2 hours maybe a bit more.
    Whatever you do DO NOT get bummed out about the fact that they don't vary the setlist, trust me this show is going to be one of the greatest gigs you've attended in your life. BTW, they sell HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE posters of Alex Grey's artwork at the gig, I mean absolutely massive, and they sold them for around £15 (works out to around $25), well worth if you wanna pick up some merch :D

    They've been chucking in Opiate and Swamp randomly but thats it.
    Songs this tour are:
    Stinkfist
    Jambi
    46 & 2
    Vicarious
    Opiate
    Swamp
    Wings For Marie
    10,000 Days Wings Pt 2
    Right In Two
    The Pot
    Lateralus
    Rosetta Stoned

    They'll play between 9 and 11 songs but don't worry "we're not fucking Green Day, a song can last 20 minutes" :D They have hinted about dropping in Ticks & Leeches and Parabol into their sets but no appearance yet.

    Looks like a fuckin great setlist - can't wait to see Jambi, The Pot and Rosetta Stoned! Listening to 10000 Days now for the first time in a month or so. I love this album. Definitely tied with Avocado for my favorite of 2006.

    Yeah it is. Both The Pot and Rosetta SToned will blow your mind, they were anticipated big time when I was waiting in line before the gig. The Pot because Maynard is really showcasing his voice and I wanted to hear if he could hit the notes and Rosetta Stoned because I wanted to know if they could emulate the vocal effects live, needless to say they didn't Dissapoint. Though I will say that A/Enima was absolutely insane but 10,000 Days stole the show for me, it is just incredible in a live setting, the cymbal work really showcases Daney's creativity and the way that the tempo builds just brings the crowd to fever pitch.

    I hated them when I first heard them, same with Nine Inch Nails. I guess what made me really give them both a try was an appreciation for what they were trying to do with their music. Anything in particular that turns you off them?

    Parabola and Ticks & Leeches.. wow. I might not make it ouf of this show alive.

    Id love Hooker with a penis though.

    Lol, yeah I mean having a conversation about TOOL should rarely be a public thing what with phrases like Stinkfist, Prison Sex and shitting the bed (a la Rosetta Stoned) :D

    ha! lost keys and rosetta stoned are just soooo much better live than on the record (no silly doctor/nurse voiceover!). they way they reproduce the wailing noises in ...keys is a sight to behold!

    they opened with ticks and leeches in europe touring lateralus second time around. and they played parabol/parabola then too. both songs were awesome.

    as good as tool are they have been playing the same set list (barring a few variations) for the best part of a year. it would be nice to see tham add/swap a few songs around. although i hope wings/10,000 days remain. they are incredible live - very emotional too.

    Nah, I guess it's just their overall sound....doesn't really appeal to me. I dunno though. I like plenty of different bands from NIN to Modest Mouse to Nirvana, but Tool never really caught on with me.
