Melvins Tool Primus coming 24 June 17

Hoping it spawns a future collab. Without Maynard.

I remember hearing Tomahawk copped a lot of shit from Tool fans when they opened for them on a tour back in the day. In 2001 Melvins supported Tool on their Australian tour but I didn't go price was too high when all I really wanted to see was the Melvins.

I saw that tour in Salt Lake. Guy in front of me threw his gum at Tomahawk. Told him he was an ass hole and that tool should have opened for Tomahawk. He was a clueless tool...

I never understood how Tool attracted so many fans, a lot of them that clueless jock type in college like your experience. Makes no sense as their music is very pretentious, long and outside the normal.

Even though Tool are a bit arty I think it's because their music was accessible enough for everyone to get into. I remember back in high school Tool was the band you were into if you were in the know just about everyone in school that I knew was into rock/metal had taped copies of Aenima. A few good songs on it sure but for me there just wasn't enough there.

The lineup is:

Tool
Primus
Special guest TBA
Melvins
The Crystal Method

I wonder who that other band will be? Dead Cross?

[(the) Razor]

Very likely. Would make sense.

Faith No More. Or a Patton of some sort...

[von grip]

Divorced... Live...

[POOP GRENADE]

Add Faith No More and I'll be making travel arrangements

[glen]

The lineup is:

Tool
Primus
Special guest TBA
Melvins
The Crystal Method



I wonder who that other band will be? Dead Cross?

if they put dead cross above MELVINS on the line-up list I'm fighting somebody.      in fact...   whatever that "special guest" is it better impress the shit out of me to be above MELVINS or I'm fighting somebody.   and I'm not even going to the stupid thing. 

[Stonergrunge]

oh bummer, wish I could be there. I'm a fan of both bands. In fact, I dicovered Tool at least 2 or 3 years before the Melvins.

[DToxico]

Damn, that sounds like a hell of a show. Wish I could go; big fan of the Melvins, Primus, and Tool, and having the Crystal Method there sounds just strange enough to work.

Nah, the bands are all friends, and it's pretty safe to say that most tool fans today are also melvins fans.

Also have to join in the disagreement here. Every Tool fan I've ever met who was either aware of Primus and the Melvins beforehand or who I try to introduce either to despises the latter two. Tend to either be a lot of uber-serious deeper-than-thou art-school types who can't deal with any degree of humor or whimsy in their music and think Maynard is god (while somehow ignoring the huge amount of jokey bullshit that he produces), or people with more mundane taste who mostly just like Tool's singles and find Primus and the Melvins too weird or esoteric. Not kidding when I say I've never met a single other person with overlapping interest in those bands.

[Bigval]

Not Dead Cross but Fantomas and Clutch have been added to the bill!

Dale Crover will be filling in for Dave Lombardo due to his Suicidal Tendencies commitments.

[POOP GRENADE]

Such a cool show..  I look forward to the bootleg

[(the) Razor]

Almost like the Geek tour from a decade a go.

So good that Fantomas is not dead....but they'll probably not play anything other than Directors cut.
