A Perfect Circle 8/2 @ 930

There is a second separate Black Cat that starts at 10 pm that night, so Rhett will have to be finished before that time.

Funny, I have never heard of A Perfect Circle before reading this thread. I love being uncool. I am the new Mankie I guess.

Have you heard of Tool? It is a Tool side project, I am sure they would be your favorite.

ps recent news i heard said that twiggy (manson bassist) is out of APC…. not sure if that's true or not. i just really want to seee them live

Not being a fan, I'm not up on them at all but it seems to me that I read something like that too. I do know that there was a very, very recent personel change with one of the members.

Is Tool anything like Korn? I remember seeing Old 97's years ago right after they had finished playing the second stage of Lollapalooza, and Rhett commented that "it was the fucking worse experience of our lives having to play for Korn fans"

I guess I have never heard any Tool or Korn, at least not knowingly.

Tool is like nu metal in its shittiness.

Rhett, I really dont think you would like all the shouting.

Don't sweat it,you're not missing much.Although Tool is much better than Korn.

Personally, I think Tool is worse than Korn.

Either way, you won't catch me at either of their shows.

Rhett, avoid at all cost!!!

I really dont know why Jadetree is going at all?

LOLOLOL!

Good analogy. ;)

Say what you will about Tool, but in reviewing a Clear Channel list of prices for various concerts that they promote (and who don't they promote these days), Tool was at the top. $250k per show, if I recall correctly.

Just goes to show,some people have no common sense,or taste for that matter,IMHO of course.Crap bands seem to always make a boat load of money.It's the real gems that struggle in these days of Clear channel.

I'd largely agree with you, but I think Tool might be an exception. I don't really care for them, but they seem to draw from a far more diverse and musically sophisticated audience than your run-of-the-mill Korn, Limp Bizkit, nu-Metal, date-raping lunkheads.

Ok uncle Bob,i'll be good : ) Just giving the facts as i see em.

i just want to know why everyone thinks they suck… honestly. they dont have to be the best band ever, but for all the people here who have "good taste" in music, you think that you could appreciate talent even if it doesn't fall in your realm of familiarity

That was kind of my point – although I didn't spell it out very well.

Tool isn't a gold or platinum selling artist, yet they can demand as high a concert fee as any Billboard #1 or TRL artist. So the fans must be pretty hardcore. Moreover, they don't seem to draw the backwards-baseball-cap wearing half-breeds that jump on the latest nu-Metal bandwagon. They appear to draw a more diverse crowd of traditional head-bangers, prog-rock enthusiasts, punks, and hard-rock fans. From this, I would assume they must be talented, despite the fact that I don't elect to listen to them.

well jack osborne loves tool so i guess they must be "good"… ain't tool such a great name for a band, there are just so many meanings for that word none of them sexual in nature.
