if there's one thing that should recommend tool as a band to anyone, it's that there's no such thing as a mediocre tool fan. they're the kind of people who know all the songs by heart and would drive interstate to see all the concerts they play in the country. tickets here sold out in about 1.5hrs for their sydney and melbourne shows, they were both awesome though :)

points for being brave enough to put tool on your list (i like them, too).
