TOOL!

IS COMING TO WHERE I LIVE!!! (at first I typed "Hometown" and than quickly squealed with disgust and deleted it. This is NOT my hometown, thank fucking god)

So My ultimate dream concert lineup would be TOOL and A Perfect Circle (yes I would want Maynard to sing and scream for two sets! I am greedy in my fantasy world, shutup) with Deftones, Slipknot, Sevendust, Metallica, KORN (maybe, I've seen them twice and this last show was pretty horrible) KITTIE and Lacuna Coil (and Drain STH if you know, they were still around.)

But I have a feeling this line up will never happened.

1) Because Maynard would never tour with both his bands at the same time, that's really just cruel to ask a man to sing for one band for an hour or so, and then to take a short break only to return back out there with another band for a headliner. (Because TOOL would obviously be the headliner. DUH)

2) Because as far as I know, KITTIE know longer really tours (they came here but that was like...two years ago) and Drain STH is gone. :( Sad times I know.

3) I just don't see any of these bands agreeing to tour with each other. Especially if Metallica wasn't the headliner.

But it would be an awesome show would it not? I mean you'd have badass chicks on stage doing their thing (KITTIE is fucking..amazing) and than you'd have Deftones, Sevendust, KORN and Slipknot for like..the younger crowd I guess, and than right after that you'd have TOOL (and APC), Metallica for the older guys.

I'm not saying that only old people like TOOL and Metallica but Metallica is kind of the grand daddy of my generations metal and TOOL...their like the respected father (imo)

But I would be happy with TOOL toured with just Deftones and (Slipknot, Sevendust or KITTIE) I would probably jizz in my pants if that line up came anywhere near the East Coast. Fuck, I'd travel far and wide to see that line up, and why? because it's awesome and because Deftones could perform their song "Passenger" with Maynard and I could die a happy camper.

But Deftones aren't touring with either of Maynard's bands, in fact,they're not touring at all.
BUT BUT BUT

There's something so much more important to say. I stated it in the first sentence of this post!!!

TOOL IS COMING HERE ON THE 3RD OF FEBRUARY!!!!!!

I've never been more excited you guys. Honestly I'm bouncing off the walls here. And I have been bouncing off the walls every since my friend Collin told me about it on the 19th of Dec. So you can imagine what I've been like for the past month.

I checked their website and at first they announced it was like....a rumor and the date was left as (TBA) and I was like.... -.- seriously you guys? Really?

The next closest date was the 4th in Charlottesville NC. and honestly I'd drive there if they weren't coming here, but...who wants to drive all the waaaaay there? Exactly no one.

so I spent my time checking Toolband website everyday to look for updates, and how about, the one day (the 4th? of Jan) the one day I DONT look for an update online 96x announces that TOOL is coming and that they're giving away tickets right then and there?

Yeah I was like..WHOAWHOAWHOA WAAAAT?

I tried to win the tickets but I didn't. But who cares. I've entered myself in (as you know) into FM99's front row seat contest (which I probably won't win, but homg if I do)

And I've devised a plan with my parents for our attack on ticketmaster.com tomorrow morning.

At first I was going to have my mother at Starbucks finger on the trigger waiting at 10am and then I would be at the box office waiting in line (if there was a line, hopefully I would be the first there.) But now that I know that it's all on a first come first serve basis I've devised another plan. It still involves my parents, plus the computers and the phones. But it's a little less stressful for everyone.


Clearly I want front and center row seats but...honestly, do you think I'll get that? No

I'd be happy with second row seats in the center. I NEEEEEED to be on that floor people. Even if it's to the side, I need to be in one of the first three seats. I can't stand being far back.

Which is why I'm currently seething at the fact that there isn't a pit. Honestly why not? No one sits down during a rock show. NO ONE! except maybe the unfortunate parent who had to bring their child. They might be sitting down, knitting, with earplugs in. But the rest of us are on our FUCKING FEET! Jumping around and screaming and singing and and and wishing to god there weren't any seats in our fucking way so we could rush the stage and mosh and be packed in like sardines, passively letting out our anger and aggression by pushing and punching complete strangers in the face. And cursing at crowd surfers that kick us in the head and laughing at them when they get carried out of the venue by angry bouncers.

But Hampton likes to piss on my parade so I'm stuck sitting in a seat. fighting for front row. Or second. I don't believe in prayer you guys, or god, but feel free to start praying, worshiping, wishing for two front and center seats or second row center seats for me people.

I want this. No, I NEED this.
In all honesty I'd be happy with second row
