My God, as far as 'A-listers' in the rock/metal world, this year's calendar is absolutely ridiculous.
Fucking. Shit.

Godddammit. I've been looking forward to a local tool show announcement since last summer's release. Wouldn't you know it, June 6th is my wife's fucking birthday. Guess what? She doesn't really give a shit about tool.

It literally could have been any other day and I'd be going. Any. Other. Day.
Madison ain’t that far, bro.
Sioux Falls is closer so I'm looking into that.

Not a deal breaker but now I'll have to get a hotel and take Monday off of work. And hope my buddies are up to it. Saturday night in Minneapolis would be so much easier.

I don't know exactly where you're coming from. I live in 'Kato. We made it to Sioux Falls for the Slayer/Anselmo show last fall in exactly 2 hours and 5 minutes. It is literally all 4 lane highway, including interstate for the last half-hour. If you're south/west metro, you should be able to get to Sioux Falls in well under 4 hours--you can do that drive both ways without getting a hotel. And, it's a smaller arena so there's really not a terrible seat in the house. Granted, a Saturday night would probably be preferable! I guess what I'm saying is that if seeing Tool is that important, you'll be there.

Shit, I bet that was an awesome show.

I'm in Owatonna so it's a 3 hour-ish drive for me. That's not a big deal in itself but it being on a Sunday night with a 3 hr drive is a huge difference from a Saturday night and a one hour drive when I have to work on Monday morning. It's just bad luck and I'm over it, but I'd still rather be able to make the Saturday show at TC.

Good news (not that anyone here cares), I talked to my wife and she "says" she'd be cool with it if I went to the Minneapolis show and made it up to her on Sunday.

Robert Plant May 12th Pantages Theatre
The parade of heavyweights continues! I'm gonna do my best to make this one--sadly, I've never seen Plant.

Saw him in the mid-90s with Jimmy on the Page & Plant tour. He was fantastic! Granted, that was about 25 years ago now!


Page sounded fine, but his energy was low and he was sitting down half the show.

Jealous, in hindsight. We're about the same age. Sadly, I didn't have the appreciation for most of that stuff that I do now. Although I was still listening to the stuff that makes up a large portion of my current musical diet, I was also listening to a lot of BAD music during that time. I sometimes shake my head...

Since I went down this worm hole, I'll share a dirty little secret. During the mid-90s I guess I was searching for a "missing sound" so I got into lots of fad bands--Limp Bizkit, etc... It was literally the day I bought Tommy Lee's Methods of Mayhem where I had my 'Come to Jesus' moment. I put on that disc and sat with bewilderment. This was the same guy who played drums on "Shout at the Devil"? Thankfully, something didn't sit well in my stomach--and it's been better since then. Thankfully, during that same time, I still found time for the usual staples--Alice In Chains, etc...

We all have our skeletons. The first lump Bizkit album was something I hadn’t heard before. I didn’t hate it immediately either. For me, it was when bands like papa roach and disturbed came out. I didn’t hate everything they did, but I was like, “is this what heavy music is becoming?” Definitely a buzzkill moment of heavy rock/metal music for me.

The only one I’ve got a ticket for is nick cave in September. I’m cautiously optimistic that show will go on as scheduled.



But Cave is notoriously skiddish. He cancelled his show in Minneapolis a few months after 9/11 because he couldn’t will himself to step foot on a plane.

In around 2000-2001, Nu Metal became what Hair Metal was in the early 90's. 3 Dollar Bill, Y'all was a freaking great album. Even Significant Other was pretty damn good, but you could feel them going too far with the "pop" sound, or something. Staind was the same way, and I'd even say that Korn got that way after they released Issues. But I digress...

Tool has cancelled at least one show and is “evaluating” their tour.

The saying 'A musician's musician' could not be truer with this guy. I probably throw the word genius around too much when it comes to music. Well, the label fits this guy. Keep in mind, I'm still a rather casual fan though I truly appreciate and recognize the talent. A buddy I play with is a huge Townsend freak so he's turned me onto a lot of the post-SYL stuff. I really enjoy the 'Project' stuff, fwiw.

The Summer of 2020 concert scene was looking pretty good until recently.
What is your prediction ? I think many of these big shows will go overseas to countries where the carona virus has already ran it's course. They can't play here unless it's August/Sept and I'm keeping my fingers crossed on that one.
