Convincing Tool to play Ireland...

Jimmynohands · 02-09-2005 11:54PM #1

Hey, one and all. If you would part with 70 euro for a ticket to see Tool playing the Point/Ambassador/anywhere in this damn country, please stick yer name below...
Once there's a convincing number of posts I shall bug MCD, Aiken, and the band themselves about playing over here. Hopefully they'll see this and stick an Irish date on the next tour, or the promoter-y types will realise the cash money to be made out of us and ask them to.

Enough from me, let the madness begin!

Arucard · 02-09-2005 11:58PM

****ing Yes!

EDIT: k, i got 2nd, now i can actually post =P
i would kill to see Tool live. Lateralus....awwww.....

ive just realised that i cant actually express how much i need to see them in words. oh well....*crosses fingers*

also, im not sure how many people would pay €70 to see a band (for Tool....i would), but they may well give up anything just shy of an arm to see them. i can only imagine it is a fantastically unique experience

EDIT: preferably the Ambassador over the Point. but i wouldnt complain either way

Matthewthebig · 03-09-2005 12:00AM

I would like to see them but fu.ck €70

far far too much

Gonzolas · 03-09-2005 12:02AM

I would like to see them too. I would pay €70 to be honest.

The Evil Monkey · 03-09-2005 12:06AM

i be in for it,
i'll pay whatever!!!

fortysixand2 · 03-09-2005 12:11AM

I'd fecking LOVE to see em. 70 squids is too much for any one band though, no matter WHO they are.

I'd also be afraid at the gig if I wasn't with a group because rockers at concerts very much intimidate me . . .

qz · 03-09-2005 12:14AM

Already seen them, wouldn't mind seeing them again.

masteroftherealm · 03-09-2005 12:15AM

Hell yeah most definity!!! Go Jimmy!! Any Evil Monkey I never knew you were a boardsie! Fair Play.

they are the only band i would pay that to see, tbf

fortysixand2 · 03-09-2005 12:19AM

I love em but you know I'm not QUITE as big a fan as you

Ciaran* · 03-09-2005 12:20AM

Why would they not play here?

jimi_t · 03-09-2005 12:25AM

Too little interest (well, that's what the promoters think - too little profit). Ticket prices are bad enough as it is nowadays, don't dare suggest that you'd pay more for *any* band!

Arucard · 03-09-2005 12:36AM

you say too little interest, yet they've played here twice before, granted one of those times was Ozzfest. but they're bigger than ever now, so.....again, *fingers crossed*

Jimmynohands · 03-09-2005 12:40AM

70 wasn't ENTIRELY plucked from the air - it's more than enough to make promoters sit up and take notice.
Plus there's a lot of difference in the mind of 'yer basic punter' (ie, us), between 70 and 80 - and it also attracts the Fortysix's to post, showing the size of the "No way! But for fifty..." contigent. (",)

i come for the Phantom board
i stay for the deranged rantings of Arucard

Jimmynohands · 03-09-2005 12:48AM

No-one ever gets enough of Arucard's derangement... He's as fascinating as a car crash. (",

The Evil Monkey · 03-09-2005 12:49AM

no car crashes are over too quickly!!
he's better then a car crash!!
he's like.....some .....big ..car crash.......

its late and i don't have any ideas.......

R0ot · 03-09-2005 01:14AM

**** YEAH!!!! Tool ARE AMAZING!!!

Dermo · 03-09-2005 02:41AM

add me to said list of ppl that would .... hmmm .... go on a hunger strike, cept for alcohol in all it's forms, for tool to come back

Arucard · 03-09-2005 12:47PM

hunger strike, i like it. we should also make a point of promising the band all the jelly beans they can eat should they come

0utshined · 03-09-2005 01:37PM

They've played before in the SFX so Ireland should be on the list for the next tour. €70 is a lot for a gig but I'd probably bitch and moan and pay it anyway just to see them.

RebelRockChick · 03-09-2005 04:47PM

I'd love to see them live! But if they do play here, i hope it's during the summer when the exams and crap are over!

sonofsam · 04-09-2005 11:09AM

correct me if I'm wrong, but they are not exactly active as a band at the mo (either recording or gigging) so is'nt this a bit pointless ?

Mongo · 04-09-2005 03:07PM

They are recording now.And Yes I'd love to see them here

Karl Hungus · 04-09-2005 03:14PM

I'd love to see them, so it's got my support, but no way would I pay €70.

masteroftherealm · 04-09-2005 03:22PM

He Karl any chance you could link to this frem RockMetal?

dr gonzo · 04-09-2005 03:25PM

Tool? i thought they were finished, you know a perfect circle and all that jazz.

No, because that would be off-topic, and posting on mutliple boards is spam...

However, what I would suggest, if you want to get the most amount of people to notice it, link this thread in your sig and encourage anyone else who wants to see Tool to do the same. Quite a few peeps have that retarded Bunny in their sigs for no reason whatsoever, so a decent cause should catch on fast enough.

feylya · 04-09-2005 04:43PM

I'd pay 70 if they had a great support act with them but I'd prefer to pay less and see them in a smaller venue.

EL_Loco · 04-09-2005 06:47PM

Anyone see them live and enjoy it?

I saw them once, stage was very dark and the singer hid behind/beside the on stage screen the whole time. they had the videos to the songs playing on the screens so it was like watching MTV without sitting down. they stayed in time with the videos for the most part so any sense of a "live" feel was gone. no deviation from the album tracks to any great extent.

the hardcore Tool fan I went with was very dissapointed. I'm not that big a fan so I wasn't too put out. although I was peeved.

so with this petition you might want to throw in a "please don't hide on stage" clause.
