Wow. 100 pages?! I'll almost be glad when the NIN/SG leg is over so this thread can finally die a peaceful death.
What's wrong with this thread? It's just so people can talk about the tour even if they're not going to a particular show and not clutter up tour journals with people who weren't there
Oh, the discussion and relevant tour talk have been great. I was just cranky with insomnia.
I think it will make sense 'till we arrive to 1,000,000, dont you?
Who cares if a thread dies? Just don't go to it if you think it's stoopid.
It's not good by any stretch but Cornell's voice ain't THAT bad. Fuck, imagine if SG fans pulled up YT vids of LITS 2008 after Trent got sick. Or go and search recent Tool vids and listen to Maynard.
People get old, sheesh.
I'm not looking forward to Soundgarden anyway (though it'll at least be worth it if they play Pretty Noose -- do they ever play that these days?), but I don't understand why Cornell is playing guitar. It just makes him be way less good at the thing he's known for, while adding barely anything to the sound of the band. They need a backup guitarist and Chris needs to just sing. /armchair SG criticism from a non-fan
You only say that because you haven't heard them. 30 minutes of this and I wanted to Erase myself. This was actually the highlight of the set right here:
No really, why the fuck do they even give the dude a mic?
And seriously, you guys would take death grips over soundgarden?
MJK can't sing the long brutal notes like he used to. To say that he can't sing is a massive exaggeration.

Maynard hasnt been able to sing live in over a decade. Its well known that APC and Tool are shit live these days....as for The Bug, never heard his solo stuff, but he used to partner up with Justin Broadrick from Godflesh in this really sick band called Techno Animal back in the day. They also had a digital hardcore band called Curse Of The Golden Vampire
I'll just leave this here:
NOONE that was actually there that night could reasonably proclaim that MJK can no longer sing.

Holy crap that last DG vid was bad! LOL. My bad, that is just crap. I will take SG over that and that's saying something. But I guess both will be on the tour, so one gets the best of both worlds, that's awful. Why are these bands touring with NIN? LOL...that's some funny crap. What the heck, it's like Blue Man Group meets Vanilla Ice meets Aphex Twin, with Vanilla Ice singing. No thanks.
Over a decade, Maynard? I doubt that.
Edit, the only ppl that can't sing in that APC video are those in the audience, LOL.

I was there that night!!!
Yes, Maynard still sounds fine with APC and Puscifer. He's lost quite a bit with Tool since some time after 10k Days for whatever reason- I understand it's not the same notes and that topic (he doesn't give a shit, mails it in for Tool, etc.) has been debated and beaten to death ad nauseum on forums so don't even feel like getting down there again.
Oh shit, my fault- didn't start the vid (just typing from phone during work break)- thought it was APC from Red Rocks back in '11. MJK sounded great that night, they were recording so he may have gotten a wee little bit of help. Sound wise it's probably the best show I've seen/heard.
Cant wait for Red Rocks in a month. Love that place.
Another dedicated Wisconsinite here, haha. I traveled from Madison for both nights; worth it! On the topic of Maynard singing though, one of my favs of the night(s) was hearing him sing Breathe. "Don't forget to breeatheee!" (Edit: good stuff is around 3:22)
On the topic of traveling to NIN shows, I too am looking forward to Red Rocks. Lucky enough to be hitting up both nights
The scenery is incredible (that's an understatement)- located high atop Red Rocks park. I'm sure you you can google image the hell out of it. There's a few of my pics below when I was there a couple months ago for work and had time to kill before a flight. The ampitheater is open during park hours- you can even go on the stage.
Ive be only been there once, so can't make too much out of it, but it really was probably the best sounding place I've ever been to. Who knew a couple of huge slabs 'o rock would make for great acoustics?
Also not a bad seat in the house, with narrow seating and stepping theatre-like rows. Also have enough room for each person, it's a bit shoulder to shoulder but your seating area is about 2 large people deep.
Add that with a somewhat intimate crowd of 9500 and it's a must-go-to for music lovers.
From the stage...
