You're white, dummy.  And Radiohead has two songs inside the top ten.  Not exactly an unbiased list.

Would this be cool to check out?

You do understand that there will be no live music, right?

[hbionic]

Now I do. Thank you.

What he's really wondering is if there will be a lot of young boys at the event.

The popularity of Sammy Hagar is proof of the colossally awful taste of Americans.

He is beyond terrible.  I never bought a single thing Van Gagger produced.

David Lee Roth will be the frontman on this tour. I'm definitely going to one of their shows

I agree, it was just like when singer Bon Scott from AC/DC bit the bullet. Couldn't even tell you the name of the guy who replaced him.

[Diomedes]

Are you f'n kidding me?  That was THE best lead singer replacement, ever.  Scott was incredible but no one could have been a better fit to replace him than Brian Johnson, and that band has kicked a lot of ass with Johnson.

[Rome]

Yeah, gotta agree with Dio here.  I loved Bon Scott but Brian Johnson was a phenomenal replacement.  Not as good as Scott but almost... and that's not a slant against Johnson either. 

[Sgt PSN]

This might be the biggest WTF? in the proud history of ?  AC/DC was about as good with Johnson as they were with Scott and they're the only group I can think of to change lead singers and not have a significant drop off in appeal.  Maybe there's a couple others, but none immediately come to mind. 

[Rome]

The first dick to say Hagar gets the die.

Alice in Chains

[Diomedes]

True.  Their new guy sounds great.

[Rome]

I was wary of what AIC was going to sound like with DuVall singing, but he was fantastic live.  He sounds just enough like Layne Staley but not so much that he comes off like a karaoke singing embarrassment.  Plus Black Gives Way To Blue was a really good album.

Also - Ronnie James Dio with Black Sabbath was also a great replacement.

Set list for TOOL is supposedly:
Hooker with a penis
Jambi
Stinkfist
Ticks and Leeches
Pushtein
Schism
Intension
46 and 2
Lateralus
The Pot
Aenema

Reading comments from people who were at the Reno, Vegas, and Albequerque show they're still at the top of their game.
