TDN has people talking about Coachella, though someone saying they have sources saying that no dates will be later than Feb. 18th, and Atlanta on Feb 8th at Gwinnett Arena.
I do too, brother. I use Last.fm, though at times I don't have the plugin installed. So there's some gaps in my listening habits here and there that could last up to 6 months or more. Having said that, I've been signed up there since March 2005 and have 8588 plays of Tool as of now. That's not counting stuff I listen to in my car or at any time before March of 2005, so I'd say I love them quite a lot as well.
As for Rosetta Stoned, when I initially saw the tracklist for the album, I thought it was fake like Systema Encéphale. I didn't see a reason why they would split up Wings For Marie into two parts and the name Rosetta Stoned seemed insulting to me. Once I heard it was the real list, I was disappointed in the name of the song, but after I heard it I changed my perception because it actually works. I've always had an interest in extra-terrestrial life, and if you listen to Faaip De Oiaad, you can Tool has even approached the idea on at least one album before. I like the story that Rosetta tells and I think the music is great. Lateralus is probably going to always by my favorite from the,, but 10,000 Days is a really solid album and I probably hold it second (tied with Ænima).
Reno, NV (Jan 14, Reno Events Center)
Now, I just need to get this out...
OH MY GOD HOLY SHIT NO ONE EVER COMES TO RENO AHHH FUCK WHAT MERRY GODDAMN CHRISTMAS TO ME
From my Twitter feed:
Any Tool fans out there? Today's @wootwine is from Maynard's own winery- it's $55 for 4 bottles (but you can still hum 46 and 2).

Most updated list. Shows are getting added like crazy.
RENO, NV (Jan 14, Reno Events Center)
Tucson, AZ (Jan 17, Tucson Arena)
Albuquerque, NM (Jan 18, Tingley Coliseum)

Toledo, OH (Jan 24, Huntington Center)
Camden, NJ (Jan 29, Susquehanna Bank Center)
Duluth, GA (Feb 8, Gwinnett Arena) (Confirmed by local radio station)
Great news! I will hopefully make it to the Camden, NJ show.. and I hope they announce another one closer to NYC which would be ideal. Saw them live most recently in July of last year in Las Vegas which was amazing, after having not seen them since the Lateralus era when I was just 14 years old, hard to believe (October 2001 at Madison Square Garden and August 2002 at Continental Airlines Arena a.k.a. Izod Center)
Vegas added.
Got the map from Fourtheye.
Unless they're playing REALLY different setlist this time (filled with long forgotten stuff like Sweat, Prison Sex, jimmy, The Grudge, etc.), I can't see how can they even motivate themselves to go on the road again with no new music. Do they need money so bad?
I would think that they are doing this tour to fund the finishing of their new record. If it's just the 10,000 days setlist again I'll pass.

$74 for Camden = what, $90 with fees?
Nope. Won't even consider that price.
It seems a bit more expensive than the average price for a concert these days, but not by much. Most big bands seem to be charging around 60 to 70 bucks for the best tickets.
You pay less fees if you buy in person. Ticketmaster markups are ridiculous online.
I'll probably try and get some GA tickets for the Toronto show. I just really hope that the setlist will be quite a bit different this time around.
More from Undertow would be nice.
Not for that price. Not when I'd have to drive from Staten Island to Camden (I did it for the NIN|JA tour, but that's it). Nope. Maybe next time, Maynard!
I won't bother seeing a Tool show until they have a new album. Touring the same album for nearly six years is pretty lame. How many times can you hear Wings for Marie? Bah.
Meh. Then again, other than the lyrics (which might be the best Maynard has ever written...which is saying something) that song does pretty much nothing for me. So when I saw it live, it was pretty boring. Except for the light show- holy SHIT that was a rad light show. They had the laser lights going over our heads and kind of spread out flat, so it kind of looked like there was this neon green sky above our heads and then they had what looked like clouds passing through them, which were black. It was neat.
The real meaning of the title 10,000 days is that's how long you're gonna have to listen to this album before we put out a new one.
Yeah, where do they get off waiting 6+ years to release a new album??
Still doesn't make it any less excessive.

willing to trade "album primer" promo cd for "parabola" and/or "schism" cds
I'm surprised at how fast Camden tickets are going, but I guess money is no object to hardcore Tool fans. I decided to hold off on this because according to Ticketmaster there is a date at Izod Center on February 1st. Tickets on sale tomorrow at 11. Hope I made the right decision and get some good tickets tomorrow.
Not the same. Here's a comparison:
Dallas, TX next year for Tool, for 1 Ticket in the back section with fees and everything, $107
Austin, TX Puscifer date next February for 2 tickets center orchestra pit with fees and all, $92 (for TWO)
Big difference. And until there's a new album from Tool, I'm far more excited about Puscifer. It'll be a way more fun and involved show.
