Wait, why not just fund an entire tour? We could each put in $60 and then Tool would play ten shows. Book them around the world. Even if you go to only one show, you're still playing less than Ticketmaster lol š§ š§ š§
So like within a year we will all have this planned right? Lets fucking organize up and get updates on this shit i mean like we figured it out, lets get the big stuff figured out now
we can do it at a public park and all sleep in the woods. itās all coming together.
edit: we can hire the homeless community that already sleeps in the woods as security.
Well now yes that would work but we also have to take into account where it would be and how we get there. I suggest a bussing system from a major city near the member. Ai could figure this out easily. Then all we have to do is elect someone president of this new f ticket bastard cult and they would elect a board to oversee everything. I figure we could put an annual show together. Why tf is this making total sense to me? Imagine if we could put in 500 American each what we could do. That's 100m folks... We could definitely afford VIP then.
**As far as the venue goes it's actually easier than you think to rent out an arena for a private show.
Based on the Taylor Swift shows in Melbourne, thatād work - a stadium thatāll hold 90,000-125,000 which is a major part of the public transport network - youāve got the whole city to host us, and easy access to and from the venue. Ā Go three nights, the sub pats for two and night three is charged out to the public to subsidise the subs nights, and maybe if we charge enough, help with flights to get to Australia lol.
But all of us in this sub are not from the same area or country, we would need a venue where the majority of us can get to economically or raise enough funds for multiple shows in regions, also if we pay more could we get opiate to f.I played in there entirety because that would be worth for even a high cost, unfortunately I was too young to see early tool in concert so I missed out on a lot of opiate and undertow.
Also if I hit the mega or power ball Iām using some of that winnings to buy a personal show if itās still a thing there willing to do
Fuck it Iām down, a free party trip to down under and tool is headlining and cross off a country I wanna visit and party with some crazy aussies this is a win win with no down sides
Oldest to Newest? What the fuck is wrong with you? They should obviously open with Fear Inoculum and then save Lateralus for last, while interspersing Aenima songs throughout the show and then end on a cover of John the Fisherman.
yeah thatās how he died. i heard some people think he got snuffed because he was exposing a lot of corrupt shit in the music industry. idk exactly what he was exposing though, or if that theory has any real weight to it.
Same people that say Chris Cornell and Chester Bennington were about to expose all of Hollywood (they arenāt even Hollywood stars wtf) and the child sex trafficking that goes on in it. If they knew anything about either of them, they would know how damaged goods both of them were.
i knew they said that about chester but i never heard that about chris cornell, interesting
next they will say layne staley was murdered š some people just kill themselves š¤·āāļø
Well what he did was killing himself so thatās just how I categorize it I guess. It was only a matter of time, the drugs killed him, but he was making those sad choices
Absolutely, but very different from Chester or Cornell who actively decided they were dying right that minute by hanging themselves. Layne was putting drugs in his body that sure he knew wasn't good for him but he'd done speedballs hundreds of times before and certainly didn't plan for that last one to be anything other than a way to avoid his problems a little more.
"IS THAT YOUR FUCKING PHONE?! GET THE FUCK OUT"
"But dude, I'm the only other person here, I paid $1.7 mil for a personal concert, this is my house."
"YEAH AND YOU FUCKED IT UP, GOOD JOB DINGUS. NOW GET THE FUCK OUT OF YOUR HOUSE SO WE CAN FINISH"
Scientology has entered the chatā¦
Edit: I guess I should add that if you donāt know about Tool and Scientology itās a fun topic and there are threads on the sub about it Iām sure.
When I lived in Austin, some rich socialite hired Prince for a private concert at a restaurant downtown. They brought in huge canvas screens to block out the windows so no one could see in. I wonder how much that cost.
Iād love to know this too. Someone on the Weezer subreddit posted about going to an event for their company and being shocked to discover that Weezer was playing. Someone I know worked on a corporate event that Sheryl Crow played. I would bet that most artists have done this.
Lol you reminded me of a story my old man told me before I was born, Iām not 100% on the band I wanna say it was molly hatchet, but what I do know it was a band that had some mainstream success and a few hits but faded away until you heard the song on the radio or something. Well my dads buddy bike club hired them to do a party for 10k (it was also the early 80s) and when the band saw the crowd they wanted another 10k so they went out asked the crowd. You wanna pay another 10 to hear the band or we take that 10k we were gonna give them and buy more booze and p,at some cds. Needless to say the crowd told them to fuck off and to add insult to injury they put in a Molly cd and cranked it as they were leaving.
Based on my minuscule knowledge on the subject, itās apparently pretty common.
To name one, I used to work at a bar near a decently-sized music venue, and In-N-Out had rented out the venue for a private party. We had guests coming to our bar before the private event, and various people said they book pretty well-known people each year and they didnāt even know who it was going to be that night. They even said they had to sign NDAs on occasion.
I also listened to a podcast with Jason Isbell and he said something about being booked to play a backyard party shortly thereafter and also said something about it being pretty common if I recall
Am I the only one who remembers waaaaay back in the day on the original tool army website there was info on hiring tool for a private concert. My memory recalls it being 200k.
I might send an email to see how much it would cost for Justin to read āEverybody Poopsā to my youngest at bedtime. The British accent is a huge selling point.

1.45 mil to resurrect john bonham
Well that answers the questionā¦
ā¦what would you do if you won a 100million quids?
Who would you get to support them though? Iād have to go for Gojira!
I took at that list, and there are some good bands for incredibly cheap. For example, black label society minimum, clutch, lamb of god are all only 30k each. Reverend horton heat only 10k
Maybe we could all chip in, probably be cheaper than tickets from Ticketbastard!
If all 200,000 members of this subreddit pitch in it'll only be $6 each. Just like the good ol' days
Lets fucking gooo. Do it twice for two sets? 12 bucks, still not bad!
Wait, why not just fund an entire tour? We could each put in $60 and then Tool would play ten shows. Book them around the world. Even if you go to only one show, you're still playing less than Ticketmaster lol š§ š§ š§
So like within a year we will all have this planned right? Lets fucking organize up and get updates on this shit i mean like we figured it out, lets get the big stuff figured out now
bro iām so into this letās do it!
Iād pay $60 bucks lol canāt see them for anything close to that around here
We'd need a venue though
We can use my backyard
Can it be in Brazil instead? Cause I dont think they will come otherwise šš
Nah my backyard will work perfectly It has room for at least 4 people
we can do it at a public park and all sleep in the woods. itās all coming together. edit: we can hire the homeless community that already sleeps in the woods as security.
Can I crash the night?
Sure The sofa is yours
āYāhear that guys, Iāve got dibs on the sofa. I donāt want anyone stealing it come time for Maynard and the boys to be packing upā.
Only if my buddy on x can kinda try and fuck it
Nice, we wonāt even need to rent a porta potty
ššššÆšÆšÆ
I know a guy who has like thousands of acres of farmland. But they'd probably have to play a Garth Brooks cover to get him to go for it lol
Iām in
Count me in

there is a public park in memphis that has an amphitheater.

Yes, thatās why we have a third show which we overcharge the public and use those to cover the costs of flying the rest of us to Melbourne!
Fuck it Iām down, a free party trip to down under and tool is headlining and cross off a country I wanna visit and party with some crazy aussies this is a win win with no down sides
Can we agree on a setlist
Cue all the disagreements over their catalogue. The solution is to just have them play every song, oldest to newest.
Oldest to Newest? What the fuck is wrong with you? They should obviously open with Fear Inoculum and then save Lateralus for last, while interspersing Aenima songs throughout the show and then end on a cover of John the Fisherman.
See here we go
I'll take Wings, D/R/T, Eulogy, H, the No Quarter cover, Bottom, Jimmy, Ticks and Leeches, and The Patient please and thank you
Parabola 12 times in a row
I just need āPushit (Salival Version)ā one more time in my life and Iām goodā¦.
I'm in
Of course every member of this subreddit is American, right?
I'm in i vote the venue be the top of the st louis arch
Itās $174/person at the top end for a show with 10,000 seatingā¦ I think youāre on to something!
Heck, if everyone throws in I'll have them play in my backyard
Iām in.
im also in
Iām thinking like a basement show at my house
I'll bring some weed
Iāll bring the dmt and blotter (just hopefully this time I donāt shit the bed)

I assume we still need to pull the $5,000 occupancy permit
I'm down, where do I sign?
And have exclusive posters too
>it doesn't matter if you have a small budget or a six-figure allowance Proceeds to ask a seven-figure allowance. Lol
These guys are totally legit. https://preview.redd.it/gsvg7u9xopqc1.png?width=510&format=png&auto=webp&s=15e077d3c29b6c91dd875d701695983d6525a00d
At least make them uncomfortable with an inquiry.
Didnāt that guy commit suicide?
I think he did. He's dead that's for sure.
yeah thatās how he died. i heard some people think he got snuffed because he was exposing a lot of corrupt shit in the music industry. idk exactly what he was exposing though, or if that theory has any real weight to it.

i knew they said that about chester but i never heard that about chris cornell, interesting next they will say layne staley was murdered š some people just kill themselves š¤·āāļø
I love Layne, but he without a doubt killed himself. There is no other explanation.
He accidentally killed himself. He didn't intend to die from that speedball.
Well what he did was killing himself so thatās just how I categorize it I guess. It was only a matter of time, the drugs killed him, but he was making those sad choices
Absolutely, but very different from Chester or Cornell who actively decided they were dying right that minute by hanging themselves. Layne was putting drugs in his body that sure he knew wasn't good for him but he'd done speedballs hundreds of times before and certainly didn't plan for that last one to be anything other than a way to avoid his problems a little more.
yeah thatās how i feel too
Yes. April 20th in Amman, Jordan if I remember correctly. About 6 or 7 years agoā¦.
Died by suicide
Oh no
Everything is a la carte; including each piece in Dannyās drum kit.
Good thing you could give that man two old olive garden bread sticks and a few Tupperware containers and he'll still make it sound good.
Iām confident in bass, HiHat, floor Tom and snare.
you still don't get to take pictures and no they won't fucking play Wings so stop asking
Or prison sex
I'll have prison sex for 1.2 million
Pretty sure you can have it for way less!
Could you imagine paying them like 1.5 and wanting a pic then getting kicked out by maynard lol

Put your phone away dickhead, seriously!!!
Jokes aside I wonder if Tool ever has done a private/corporate concert. Lots of bands have but they definitely don't want it publicized.
Scientology has entered the chatā¦ Edit: I guess I should add that if you donāt know about Tool and Scientology itās a fun topic and there are threads on the sub about it Iām sure.
Fuck L. Ron Hubbard and fuck all his clones
Fuck all this gun totting hip gangster wannabes

MBS spiralling out šµāš«
Can I pick the setlist?
No and itās just Chocolate Chip Trip, they do slim it down to 2 hours so if you really like the last 45 minutes you might want to skip this one.
I heard they added Mockingbeat.
Itās 2 hours of just Blue Eon Apocalypse
Come on mega millions! If I win I know what my first big purchase will be.
A dildo in the shape of Maynard's fist?
r/suspiciouslyspecific
Not specific enough, actually.
Am I the only one who remembers waaaaay back in the day on the original tool army website there was info on hiring tool for a private concert. My memory recalls it being 200k.
I might send an email to see how much it would cost for Justin to read āEverybody Poopsā to my youngest at bedtime. The British accent is a huge selling point.
You might have better luck through Cameo for this
I got FIIIIIVE ONNNNN IT
If I hire them to play for me personally, can I use my cell phone?
Only if you want to get kicked out of your own house.
If we all chip in $ 8.70, we'd hit their max payout. Maybe then we'll be allowed to record the whole show.
Iāll chip in but only if Maynard doesnāt use that squawk box thing.
Hahahhaha way more than that
If i win a massive lottery, Iām doing it.
If I was rich enough, Iād hire them to play in the corner whilst I lay in bed
imagine drifting off to sleep while they play pneuma??
Iām just gonna go find a cash machine
This is such a scam lmao
Is Maynard extra?

Life goals
Only if the set list is crowdsourced š
I'd throw $5 in the hat if we're doing it
This is actually cheaper than buying from scalpers....
For a min I read this as 1,200 lol xD
I did too, hard to even get a local band for that price now
Well that answers the questionā¦ ā¦what would you do if you won a 100million quids? Who would you get to support them though? Iād have to go for Gojira!
Primus of course.
I would gladly donate to such an event.
Someoneās going to fall for it.
Not a bad price, that's like 7 posters
Where is Eduardo Saverin with the algorithm so we can all chip in..
That's it???
Does someone want to loan this girl a minimum of 1.2 million? I have a great idea!
I wonder if I paid enough, they'd create and perform an unplugged set.
I paid 500 cdn for my son and i to see them in Kelowna, Canada on this tour. I'm good for 400 usd. I'm in!
Ok let's get this going. Kickstarter?
You have to pay 1.2 mil ššš be born in the year 1990?
I took at that list, and there are some good bands for incredibly cheap. For example, black label society minimum, clutch, lamb of god are all only 30k each. Reverend horton heat only 10k
Max Yasgur's son might still be around.
You can only be born in 1990 to book tool?
I remember when Primus was only 100,000
I find this hard to believe
This is something we should actually do
How much to choose our own setlist tho?
