- the fall 1996 tour -

Here's what normal everyday people like yourself had to say about Tool live this past fall; 181 reviews came in.

historical This fall, there was a contest sponsored by some other site (which has long since ended) which was ultimately entered by some 2000 folks; no doubt the link that was here generated some good amount of them...

A note here used to read: "be warned that reading these may lessen your enjoyment of the show!"

This fall, the mailing list decided that if you were going to see Tool live, all you had to do was yell "Chickenweasel!!!" as loud as you can, right after they play "Stinkfist". Amazingly, the "chickenweasel"ing was rampant, and even carried over into the following spring tour in many foreign dates. Even the band noticed our little ploy. Mwaha. In fact, reports indicate that cries of "chickenweasel" have even surfaced at local small-band shows and at certain animated feature length movies starring two guys whose names start with B. Thanks to all who participated in the campaign, becoming themselves a part of t.d.n and Tool lore.
