Yep, Denver tickets go on sale Friday. Crossing my fingers! Last time they played here (at Red Rocks) shit sold out instantly and prices got jacked up by the asshole scalpers. They're playing at an inferior venue this time, not one I'd pay $100 to go to, so if I don't get my own tickets I'm probably out.

Well, after a very stressful 15 minutes this morning I did indeed get tickets. I was not able to get more than one at a time, using my phone and my laptop, so I got two separate tickets. They were 95 bucks plus fees each, but the seats are actually pretty good. I'm in the first row of a section close to the stage but not right up front. I am excited!
My coworker, on the other hand, was not so lucky... She ended up buying from some other website and paid almost seven hundred bucks for two tickets! I am not that hardcore.

I've still never seen Tool, and the last "mini tour" didn't come to Seattle. I wish they would just do a full blown tour....even if they don't release an album.

Nobody buy tickets until they release the next album. I couldn't care less about new live dates right now. Metal needs new Tool. Especially the radio, considering for some weird reason Tool actually gets airplay.

I'd actually LOVE it if all TOOL fans did this.

"

Um. NO . We're not buying a single ticket until you release the album "

If I had chance to see them, I wouldn't miss it. I stopped believing in new album, so better nothing than new album just for sake of it.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #672 on:** June 13, 2016, 06:56:55 PM »

Their official website is probably the shittest band site online.

It's like it hasn't been updated since 2001.

There's not even any mention of 10,000 Days.

It's not even in the discography.

Awful.

In a feature on the Melvins' back catalogue, Osborne says while discussing 1994's Stoner Witch: "I think it was the longest time we ever spent in the studio actually, 19 days, which for us is a long time.

"Bands like Tool obviously spend about six months on their albums, and they’ve spent about 10 years putting together the new one.

"And they haven’t even started recording yet, but Adam told me the shortest song they’ve been working on is 12 minutes long.

Well crap, if that's the case, that might explain why we've waited so damn long. If it takes them 5 years to put out a 70-minute album with songs that don't go too far above 10 minutes, can you imagine an album of songs 12-minutes and above?! They've probably spent a month for each minute of each song!!!

Kotowboy · « **Reply #677 on:** July 01, 2016, 02:14:12 AM »

Yeah - no band could possibly put out an album of songs which are no shorter than 10 minutes every two years...

That's just not possible...

....

10,000 Days was 10 years ago. Just think of everything you've done in your life since May 2006. It's mad.

Zantera · « **Reply #678 on:** July 01, 2016, 03:48:45 AM »

You'd think that if the band REALLY wanted to make another album, they would have done it by now. Don't get me wrong, they probably want to put out another album (it's free money after all), but the passion or fire is clearly not strong. I just think about The Dear Hunter and how they put out one of the best albums of 2015 and are already putting out their next this fall. Striking while the iron is hot. Meanwhile Tool has gone 10 years since 10k Days without recording anything.

That STUNS me. I'm not the biggest Tool fan in the world - though I have everything except for "Opiate", and would buy the new album - and so I don't care about 10 years between releases, but I thought Adam was some kind of multi-media wiz; I would think he would demand that the website be at least semi-current.

...and right as I make that reality TV show comment.

I swear the only thing missing from this is "YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT TOP TEN CRAaAaAaAaAZY THINGS BLAIR FOUND IN TOOL'S CLOSET!"

Seriously...this guy should've been fired years ago. That's the secret.

The fact that 10,000 days isn't even featured on their official website means the site - apart form Blair's nonsensical ramblings - hasn't been updated since 2001.

That took 15 years or more. Depending if you count from their last album proper or from The Spaghetti Incident.

Ahhh. Yeah it's some awesome clickbait.

Fuck that hypothetical album. I wouldn't get past the first couple songs.

It's basically a giant cumshot of pretentiousness right to the face.

.....oh fuck maybe it is real.

i sure hope this is legit so i can safely ignore the album entirely. no way am i buying a 160 minute album from a band way past their prime

jammindude · « **Reply #694 on:** July 16, 2016, 09:51:23 PM »

Actually, one of the more interesting things about the entire thing to me is that you can't tell the Tool trolls from Tool themselves....because they troll as much as their fans do.

That occurred to me as I was looking at the story and the track listing. As soon as you start thinking how ridiculous it is...it suddenly starts to seem plausible.

I mean, look at that track listing. Isn't something like this HONESTLY the only thing they could do to be more bombastic than 10,000 Days?

Disc 1:
1. Abscissa (13:47)
2. The Awakening (12:03)
3. Gematria (Act I) (14:33)
4. Regresolution (13:56)
5. Divinotus (12:45)
6. Astral (Act II) (12:21)

Disc 2:
7. Descending (13:53)
8. Decem (12:22)
9. Lesous (Act III) (12:43)
10. Principles of March (12:01)
11. Pascal's Wager (13:46)
12. Zeta (Act IV) (14:27)

I'm no fan of Tool - actually, I have never listened to any music from them - but I've been checking this thread for some time.
There are a few references to mathematics in the titles ('abscissa', 'gematria', 'Pascal', 'zeta'). How much of an influence does math have in the band's music? I read about some time signatures/rhythms composed based on the Fibonacci sequence or something like that.

fadetoblackdude7 · « **Reply #696 on:** July 16, 2016, 11:29:43 PM »

As fake as this album probably is, I gotta admit those titles sound pretty cool and somewhat legit.

Kilgore Trout · « **Reply #697 on:** July 17, 2016, 12:41:45 AM »

It sounds more like some fan's fantasy than anything real.

Zantera · « **Reply #698 on:** July 17, 2016, 02:04:53 AM »

I think it's almost certainly fake. At first I thought that maybe it could be legit because a while back we heard a rumour that the album would be a double album with no song under 10 minutes, but then I realized that some fan probably just wrote a fake tracklist based on that rumour.

Kotowboy · « **Reply #699 on:** July 17, 2016, 02:27:53 AM »

Surprised they didn't make a fake artwork to go with it.
