remembber this is tool we're talking about here. can you point to something in recent band history that showed they gave a fuck about fans and their experience?yeah caught that....point still holds though for readers wondering the same as your beginning.

remembber this is tool we're talking about here. can you point to something in recent band history that showed they gave a fuck about fans and their experience?If Tool were to play their standard 2.25 hours with their short intermission, it wouldn’t be so bad. But 90 minute sets is pretty bad, plus to have other major acts only getting one hour is also pretty bad. But a lot of the dislike is representative of the fan base. Phish and dead heads love these festivals, Tool fans not so much.
As a comparison, the Dead Ahead festival is basically Bobby Weir plus a cover band. It’s a five day festival so the cost is a couple thousand dollars more, but Bobby is playing three shows, and he will be on the stage for three hours each show.0 -
also as a comparison, when mmj did their festival down there they played 7 albums over 3 nights. close to 10 hours of stage time total.This show, another show, a show here and a show there.0

Any interest in this Salival set?Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?0

Bit too munted for me sorry mate. Saw one in Amoeba in LA for 80 bucks the other week but the bottom bit was ripped and the plastic split. They really need to reissue this but given they can't get their act together with 10KD and Ænima as well as the Cam de Leon artwork lawsuit I'm not holding my breath we'll see it.
Glad you didn't give it to your dad who put it in an attic for 15 years though. This is what colour it turns:
