Is there any truth to the rumors I have heard about PJ touring with Tool?

    ... and I still think Drive-By Truckers are better.

    i hope so. i love tool, one of the best bands out there right now. but they are headliners so i cant see them touring with another headliner like pj.
    if you think what I believe is stupid, bizarre, ridiculous or outrageous.....it's ok, I think I had a brain tumor when I wrote that.

    As cool as it would be...I doubt it would ever happen.
    Pearl Jam and Tool are completley different bands with very different audiences. A co-headline tour with these 2 bands would be very weird.

    Um... I might lose my mind if these two bands toured together. I thought the world was going to end when they released their albums on the same day in '06... but this concert would be pleasure overload.

    However, someone pointed out that these two audiences are different... would be a weird clash of people.

    I like Tool, but would not like to see them together at the same show. For one, ticket prics would be crazy high!!!!

    My two favorite bands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I think Lollapalooza will be the only show these two monster bands play together. How can a obvious PJ fan hate Tool??? Maynards' lyrics are just as great as eddie's, if not better and deeper. If you "get" the PJ message, you should be able to "get" Tool's message. Two undeniable bands!! 8-) :!:

    Other than a festival, I could not see them together, they are both great live, but Tool, at least on there last tour, has a pretty complex stage set up for visuals and stuff. And they are both headliners.

    Quite easily.

    To me, Maynard's lyrics are like his videos and stage performances - pretentious and over the top.

    I've seen Tool 3 times over my many years of gigging and festivals and all 3 times I was bored ridged. Never once did I even SEE the message, let alone 'get' it... and trust me, i've tried so hard to like them.

    Tool bite... IMO ;)

    Tool's not for everyone. I saw them twice in two different cities back in 02- both setlists were exactly the same. The first show was great- then 2nd was quite boring. Plus all of the satanic crap on stage gets old

    This is true, they may change 1 song from night to night, you only need to see them one time on a tour.

    im sorry I LOVE PEARL JAM AND LOVE TOOL..(anything Maynard)........but there is no way in hell they would have these to bands play the same stage on the same night......i have been to over 30 pearl jam shows and about 15-20 tool shows....the crowd at a tool show is OUT OF CONTROL ....MOSH PITS ...ALIEN DOLLS ..yes i said alien dolls.. .tool fans are WORSE THEN PEARL JAM FANS....you dont become a tool fan you JOIN THE CULT..and there fans DONT FUCK AROUND..kinda like a pearl jam show in 92-94 at the small clubs......X10....unless you guys wanna get your heads bashed in from the MULTIPLE mosh pits...and the 6'8" goon with a maynard tat on his back....and girl on girl action........................be my guest....


    and for the record..... I WOULD TOTALY GO TO THAT CONCERT......a tool concert is totaly different from ANY CONCERT YOU WILL EVER GO TO...lets just say you can be totaly DEAF IN BOTH EARS and would walk out so amazed at what you saw for the last two+ hours......

    i recommend going to a TOOL CONCERT...............

    Yes, if by great you mean really strange. "Waiting like a stalking butler" very creative indeed, but who would a butler be stalking? Other stuff, like "Sh*t adds up at the bottom" is really just obvious. Poop is heavy and gravity makes it go down to the bottom. Not really necessary to sing about, unless you are in physics class. Not very deep in my opinion, just really, really, strange.

    Hmmmmm, Eddie loves wine and Maynard makes it...... maybe :D

    I'm confused here.....are you saying that TOOL has no talent?

    And the show with both bands would never happen. Worlds apart.

    I've seen Tool once live and the only reason why we didn't go to another show was this very reason. A friend of ours told us (me and the hubby) that they never change the setlist, if slightly. So even though I like their albums, as far as live performances go, once was enough for us. You know, I hate it when bands do that. We are quite the spoiled crowd you know, us Pearl Jam fans :)
    I have no patience for bad music and stupid people...

    I just have to chime in here....this is the first I've heard of this rumor and it's FUCKING RIDICULOUS!!! Why anyone would ever think that this might happen is obviously not a fan of either music, because if you were, you would know that this just would not work. I love both bands but can clearly see the major differences not only in their music but with the majority of the people that would go see them.

    Maybe at a festival, but that's as far as this match would go. Lame to even start this thread.

    I see, so lame you had to reply...

    Yeah but when a band has to use gimics like that to get people to go to the shows, it's a sorry state of affairs... I'd rather have a sausage fest and good music... but then, I am a girl :mrgreen:
