So let me ask this here.
How young is too young for a tool show? I can't recall seeing kids there back in the day but wasn't paying attention either.
I ask cause i had a big disagreement with my wife a couple years ago. I wanted to take (drag along) my 11 year old daughter to depeche mode 2 years ago. My wife assumed it was inappropriate. I told her she was being ridiculous. There are gonna be mainly old people dancing. Needless to say i won that discussion and my daughter went. Had a good time and then the following year they were around again and my son (9) came as well.
They each had fun meaning they got to eat popcorn and ice cream and didn't aak to leave halfway through. That's a victory for me.
In all seriousness it was a great memory for me and i know wherever they go in life and a depeche mode tune comes on, they will remeber that concert with me. Even my son who wasn't very engaged; i walked into the living room the following week and i heard him lightly singing..."the grabbing hands, grab all they can...."
Put a huge smile on my face
Ok...anyway back to tool
I jokingly said to my wife that I'm taking the kids to see tool when the time comes. She of course said no way. The usual stereotype of...it's gonna be filled with freaks on drugs. I get tool is harder and stuff so i understand the notion that kids at a metal concert maybe not the best idea but having gone to see Tool even back in the day...the crowd was just...different. not your typical metal/rock concert.
I'm telling my kids it may actually be a nice show, even in terms of the visuals etc...
So, now at what will probably be 14 and 11. Do you guys think that is too young for a tool show?
