THE Tool Thread

[bout to crash]

Yeah, that ain't real.

[jakepriest]

No way I'm getting an album this long from Tool when I can't even get through 10,000 Days without getting bored.

[wolfking]

No song under 12 minutes?  Yeah, I ain't buying into that.

[Zantera]

I will say that IF Tool ever made another album (which I don't think will happen), I wouldn't be surprised if it just showed up one day - Radiohead marketing style. No long campaign of "the album is coming in September" followed by 2 singles and creating a buzz, I think Tool would just drop it. And chaos would happen.

[ReaperKK]

My new theory, Tool's new album is the soundtrack to Half-Life 3

[Ben_Jamin]

I remember when everyone thought the 10,000 days title and track listing was fake. Look how that turned out. Hmm...seems odd this happened to come out and on reddit. But it is most likely fake.

Someone probably googled " Ten in latin / greek " and came across Decem and thought that'll do.

We should find out who did this...


...and Deck 'em.

In response to the rumors, Maynard James Keenan posted this on twitter :

@Tool @ToolMusic @puscifer @aperfectcircle #dumb

So, yeah, dumb.

MJK have written a biography, and is starting a book tour soon. He'll be touring with Puscifer in the fall. As it seems the recording hasn't even started, it is very unlikely the new Tool album will come out this year.

[Kotowboy]

Yawn..... moving on.

[wolfking]

As expected.

Justin talks about bass playing and plays some TOOL.

[MrBoom_shack-a-lack]

I'm sorry

[Ben_Jamin]

I Honestly like that Alternate Track list of Lateralus.

Parabol(a)
Schism
Ticks
Mantra
Lateralus
The Patient
Disposition
Eon Blue
Reflection
The Grudge
Triad
Faaip De Oiad

It is really interesting. Because the title track is in Fibonacci, and the middle two tracks flow seemingly into another.

[Kotowboy]

I tried this once and it sounded crap to me.

[Ben_Jamin]

Everything sound like crap to you.

Haha...anyways it is interesting how crafted Lateralus is.

[Kotowboy]

Lateralus sounds fine as it is

I used to post at the TOOL forum and some people there were absolutely obsessed and think the album was a decoy for the new album which is yet to materialise...

The fibbonacci album was FACT and that songs are a certain length for a specific reason.

it's hilarious.

[faizoff]

Isn't that the case with every single Tool album? A part of the fanbase keeps saying how the just released album is not the real album because they don't like it and then go on to say the real album will drop soon.

So for some fans - the last TOOL album was Lateralus in 2001 - 15 years ago

Kotowboy: unhappy with everything

[NotePad]

Lateralus is Tool's best album. I douht they'll ever top it. It's the quintessential Tool album.

By being unhappy with that post you're just reinforcing his point

1. I'm seeing Tool next week!!
2. I had a special experience with the first half of Lateralus on Sunday.

[Kotowboy]

Anyone ever tried the supposed synchronised song ?

I've heard a supposed proper version and funnily enough it sounds like 2 songs playing at the same time.

[Podaar]

Intriguing.

Yeah, it's hilariously awful, jumbled crap when Wings 1 plays over 2; too bad they didn't record to a click, I guess. It's less offensive with VT playing over top though.

Still doesn't beat the chaotic Kid 17, though, for the prize of dumbest fan theory with zero results.

I bet TOOL looked at WFM and 10,000 Days and thought - hey there's 5 minutes difference between them. Let's just shove on 5 mins of white noise at the end and call it something

vaguely cryptic like Viginti Tres and fans will think it meenz sumfing.


please explain the Kid 17 theory.

[Kotowboy]

You've also heard that theory that OK Computer and In Rainbows are supposed to match up ?


This just smacks of fanboys trying to make out their perfect bands are more amazing than they actually are...

[Ben_Jamin]

Yes I tried that one song. Some parts sounded pretty cool like the 10,000days wings pt 1 ending bounce back.

I view the Lateralus track list no different than people making alternate track lists for albums.

[Kotowboy]

It's a bit annoying when you get multitudes of fan edits and they're all like " this is how it SHOULD have been " instead of " this is how I PREFER it "...

Doesn't bother me one bit. I'll check it out and be that wssnt bad at all. Sometimes though I'll forget my iPod is on shuffle when I put on an album and sometimes it does marvelous lists.

Intension though has to be their underrated gem. It was amazing live and the lights during it made me wish I bought seats in the stands and not the GA section.

" TOOL have two albums worth of new material but only 5 songs that are good enough " says Adam Jones...


Best part :

" There is still no timetable for the new TOOL album's release or even the beginning of its recording sessions. "




Their supposed lawsuit was over in March 2015 and it's getting pretty close to 18 months ago and still no recording sessions in sight.

Holy LOL...

Not surprised about this at all...

There was a time when i was holding my breath for this new Tool album, that was a long time ago.

I'm betting, that this thing will never see the light of day.
