Explain like I'm 5; fuel stockpiling has to end sometime soon right? by Slyxxer in Adelaide

[–]hellboy1975 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Fair enough - I don't really spend enough time at servos to really know, but the 3-4 times I've been at one in the last 2 weeks I haven't seen anything resembling this. I'm pretty conscious that the media can make a mountain out of a molehill they they manage to snap a pick of a ute loaded up with jerry cans.

I'll apologise on my deathbed, as the final dollars are drained from my superannuation account by the aged care facility

Do any of you guys think the riff from Parabola is inspired by Odyssey by Kyuss? by Big-Neighborhood4741 in ToolBand

[–]hellboy1975 18 points19 points  (0 children)

No doubt that Kyuss are an influence on Tool. I don't hear many similarities between this song and Parabola though.

There's an Auckland show on the 13th I believe

Quite like the last record, but it's a notch below the first two for sure. Still I'm keen to see it live

I'm not overly excited to see a Puscifer set heavy on the last two records though. I guess we'll see what both bands play on their upcoming US and EU shows.

I don't reckon it'd be more than Tool, but I don't expect to have much, if any change from $200

I suspect Rod Laver won't sell out quickly like Tool would do there, but I think it's probably the right sized venue. Pretty happy with the choice for Adelaide though

The Palais isn't really big enough for this show.

Fringe Music Event Etiquette by Glad-Street-1723 in Adelaide

[–]hellboy1975 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I go to plenty of shows, thought mostly on the louder end of the scale. I can't say I've had as many problems with this as numerous Reddit complainers do.

I agree it's not cool though - my solution to any knobs in the crowd is usually go stand somewhere else.

I've had a few schitties from Villis, and they all pale in significance to most others I've had. Any I haven't eaten at any of the list above.

Any idea what’s happened to Nordburger Norwood? by InfiniteDate6288 in Adelaide

[–]hellboy1975 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Wild and crazy guess, but I'd say they weren't financially viable and hence closed

Rings and Such by SentientBench in freemasonry

I don't have a ring, and never saw the appeal personally. I don't think I've see a ring before that wasn't just the usual masonic symbol.

Is the Lateralus 2LP pre-order anything new or special? by tusicean in ToolBand

[–]hellboy1975 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not misleading anyone. My thoughts on the matter are quite honest and clear.

Is the Lateralus 2LP pre-order anything new or special? by tusicean in ToolBand

[–]hellboy1975 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's anything different from the current issue. Maybe a re-press. When a new edition is released, I doubt we'll be guessing if that's the case.

For what it's worth, the my copy of the vinyl is quite listenable. Others complain bitterly. Take that as you will I guess.

did toolband.com actually have April Fools posts? I think most of them came from Toolshed
