Did you not just see Tool in Toledo? DTE's sound is not as bad as you say. I've been on the lawn for shows there more often than not. Rex <_>
yes i did...and it was an amazing show....but my main issue with seeing TOOL is the seats on the floor...THis is a festival setting and will be all GA....i want to go super bad
IMO go see Soad/Tones tour instead of Tool. Tool will tour again and no one knows wtf SOAD is ever going to do and the Tones are going to be with them. Go see Soad/Tones instead.
You'd be seeing the exact same Tool show you saw earlier in the year. Save your money.
ummm sounds good to me....especially IF..which i doubt they will, but if they play ticks and leeches again...i expect the same set with maybe a different opener and MAYBE one other song

In late summer, Lamb of God WILL — I repeat, WILL — be touring the states, doing their own festival, Adler confirmed; you may recall he mentioned in one of our last chats that the band would be doing its own fest, and we predicted Gojira would play it. Well, we’re still predicting that.
“It is happening,” Adler updates us. “We just haven’t announced it yet, due to the people we are doing it with having commitments not to announce future shows while they are currently doing something else.”
This is beyond rad; Lamb of God headlining its own festival? Damn, man…damn. We also spoke to Chris about the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Cruise, and he confirmed they’ll be doing it after turning down 70,000 Tons of Metal in the past…but more on that later.
“It’ll be two three-week blocks that I believe begins at the end of July,” Adler says. “End of July or whenever Mayhem stops. We know those guys well, and we are not interested in competing with them. So we will wait until they are done…stay out of the way, and come back and crush it.”
Chris would not specifically talk about any of the bands who’ll be playing the festival, but we’re still predicting Gojira and Meshuggah will be playing Lamb of God’s traveling circus of metal depravity. Just educated guesses on our part.
Adler says the tour will feature “a couple of bands we have often been lumped in with that have CDs either recently out or soon to be out — and that’s about as much as I can tell you.”
It looks like August is going to be a month to remember. And that may be the cheesiest sentence I have ever typed. Chris rules, Lamb of God rules, and this fest will rule. Any questions?
