My wife said I'm not allowed to hang creepy posters so I'm buggered where im going to put this one! Interesting despite the macabre but Mexicans love the skull motifs (hence dia de los Muertos) and it is appealing enough to snag for mine. Looking forward to tomorrow-they kicked arse in Monterrey so glad they were still in the mood to bring it.

QOTSA are guilty of this too. Out of the 6 times I've seen them here, 5 of them have posters, 3 of them are skulls, and two of those even have topless females (one of which is getting her slit throat sewn up by the skull guy) which is bizarre and makes them un-displayable. I didn't even bother buying them.

Epic gig in Mexico City. Great crowd for the most part and Maynard really brought it. He was in fine form. Just a couple of wee fuckups but they were back in step very quickly. The crowd fed off the energy Maynard had and it really made a difference. Brilliant night.

I'm guessing there's some small-print when buying the tickest about things "subject to change" which will stop a lawsuit dead in its tracks. Compare with Madonna being sued... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-68027965

In a rare fan friendly move... Tool's doing something on this tour we've been clamoring for around these parts for some time now... you can preorder the tour merch from their website, posters and all. https://store.toolband.com/dept/tour-merchandise?cp=109315_109661
I'm not sure if the stock of posters will be numbered or signed. What I will say is there were a heap of the CDMX posters when I snagged my merch and there were hardly any people I saw with them. Of course I bolted after the gig ended so didn't check on the tent but I'd say they may be able to satisfy demand with the leftovers.

I can't imagine the posters that ship from the website will be signed or numbered - I know the show prints are usually numbered, and from a limited run (they were 3 years ago at least). I can appreciate having a numbered print, but if I knew I was guaranteed the same print with no number from the website, I would preorder online and skip the merch stand 10 times out of 10. (it's also nice to know what the print is going to be before you invest any time in waiting for it, especially considering some of the posters Tool's put out there in the last few years)
I'm curious as to why they're doing this now & wonder if this move is to get ahead of the bootlegs being sold on ebay... if so, that's more $ for the band (and possibly artist), a big W for the consumer, and a huge kick in the junk for the flippers... I love it.
So they streamed a two camera pro shot video of Lollapalooza Argentina. Both cameras were from a distance so I'd say the band specified that condition. Looked great-and made me think I was closer to the front in CDMX than I thought.
Audio was very good-clear enough to see what parts Maynard needs help with backing tracks. Just the harmonies really-he does well. Adam messed up Pneuma but they got back on track.
Fun has started already though as all the links to see it are being taken down. It is frustrating as a fan to have zero official live releases on video. I get them wanting to try something like a hybrid of their videos/light show and their playing but like anything they do it seems coming to a consensus is almost impossible and communication about the most basic stuff seems to be neglected.

yeah, could have easily knocked out a decent live double album/DVD, etc in all the time between albums!

lol, yeah the novelty of being mysterious has worn off for me.

Based on their level of activity on Instagram, I think the novelty of being mysterious has worn off on them too.
If I had to guess, it's more about having control over how their live shows are represented than it is about appearing mysterious or anything else.

It's on the internet, the files are circulating now. They can't really stamp it out. Maybe cease and desists on youtube, but on torrent sites and what not. Good luck. Both the Argentina and Brazil shows are circulating. The Brazil one is in 4k, both look pretty good.
