Tool

[misunderstood]

Toolband was updated again today with some 'news' on the Schism and Parabola DVDs. And some other strange message.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Blair is Tool online PR fag, basically. :lol:

Is it just me, or is Toolband not letting anyone else onto the site?

[misunderstood]

^^I'm not having any trouble getting onto Toolband. I'm actually having a hard time with this site at the moment.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I got to Toolband, and yeah, mx has been having constant lagging problems the last few days. :-/

!

Thanks to Tojes Dolan, I acquired a 26 minute version of Disposition/Reflection featuring Robert Fripp on guitar.

ATTN: This is a bootleg with no copyright, therefor if you suspend the link, or if I get banned, gtfo. :)

Enjoy, people. I only just finished downloading it, so I'm only into Disposition as we speak(24 minutes to go \m/) but so far, it is amazing. I've always thought Disposition was amazing, but live, it's even more of a trip. :p

[Kage]

They are both amazing artist but i do prefer Alex Grey, the guy is so unique, another great artist even though he has nothing to do with tool is Tony Koehl.
In my opinion, one of the best artists of recent times is Clyfford Still, who was an abstract expressionist. His paintings are primarily centered around textures and the ambience of experimental formations, usually without any true decipherable form. Another great painter is Salvador Dali, but most of you probably know about him.

Look at my new spiffy shirt. :D

[Kage]

That's an awesome shirt; I've had the same one for a long time, but it is now way too small. :(

[G_Mac07]

:eek: I'm wearing that shirt right now!

And what's a guy got to do around here to get the Oklahoma Show uploaded? After a long year I'm finally back on a computer that allows me to download such things.

[Blizzink]

Heh, I'm such a loser, I've collected more Tool shirts in the past year than there are days of the week.

And yeah, I haven't seen Oklahoma yet, that'd be an upload I'd value highly.

[paganman7]

Amazon has just released a list of albums to be released on January 3rd...anyone want to guess who's album is NOT listed?

Even if Tool are finished recording the album, they haven't a clue when they're going to release it.

Are Tool still with Volcano? I would think the label would insist that once they actually know the release date, that they let retailers know.

[Darkness]

Download it off me on Soulseek.

You guys are sneaky sneaky.

And you're a god for posting this link, I can't wait to listen to it.

[Magicaltroll]

What the hell is this I hear about Tool releasing two DVDs featuring only ONE video on them?!

Money hungry bastards...

There better be some incredibly awesome Special Features on these if they expect me to buy it.

[BlindWriting]

The special features basically consist of a couple of band commentaries.

Meh. Very meh. While it's not often we get to hear their direct thoughts on their music, it's still very meh. I've got both videos on my computer, so unless I can find these used for a buck each, I don't think I'm buying these.

[clearvision]

"(with observations that only the truly [TOOL] initiated are capable of making)"

Ugh pretentiousness, that is all.

[Darkness]

Theres also something about remixed songs or something.

[musicftm]

so will new album > lateralus?

[mudvayne420]

i wouldn't mind buying them because hey, commentary by a band who doesn't really like DOing this kinda stuff but at least it's something to hold us out while we wait for the new album.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Theres also something about remixed songs or something.

I'm actually pretty sure they're already available. I saw them on a friend's last.fm, but he could have downloaded a joke-file from soulseek or something.

[Toaster]

Theres also something about remixed songs or something.

I hate remixes! Ugh. Does anyone remember the NIN album Fixed?

Terrible.

[Magicaltroll]

I hate remixes! Ugh. Does anyone remember the NIN album Fixed?

Terrible.
Unfortunately, yes I do.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

so will new album > lateralus?

It comes out next week, you tell me.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I doubt Tool would let anyone remix their song in a shitty fashion, so I wouldn't worry, guys. :p

[G_Mac07]

Download it off me on Soulseek.

What's your sign in name thing? I'm getting no search results. :(

I hate remixes! Ugh. Does anyone remember the NIN album Fixed?

Terrible.

Have you heard the version of Hurt on Radiant Decay?

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

It comes out next week, you tell me.

You guys are awful. Just horrible people.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

His soulseek handle is Lateralus509, Greg. He's offline right now, though.

[Kage]

Have you heard the version of Hurt on Radiant Decay?
To clarify: Fixed is a masterpiece in comparison. :lol:

[G_Mac07]

His soulseek handle is Lateralus509, Greg. He's offline right now, though.

Thanks. It will be handy for future reference though.

To clarify: Fixed is a masterpiece in comparison. :lol:

I don't even think I've listened to it all the way through. It's that bad...

[misunderstood]

To clarify: Fixed is a masterpiece in comparison. :lol:

Ha! Yeah, no kidding. :lol:

[Spiritofmosa]

i was looking at jerk off lyrics -
"But it must not be true
for jerk-offs like you.
Maybe it takes longer to catch a total spatula.
but I'm tired of waiting.
Maybe it's just bull**** and I should play GOD,
and shoot you myself.
Because I'm tired of waiting."

what does maynard mean by waiting ?
can anyone answer?

[Matter]

Prolly just means hes tired of waiting for god or who/whatever to take out this jerk-off...

[Spiritofmosa]

hmm and thats the concept of laterallus too

[repcak]

Radiant Decay ?

:upset:

[Huber]

hmm and thats the concept of laterallus too

The concepts of the album vary, and if you mean the song I don't see how you see it that way. I think the song clearly means to take whatever energies, good bad or sad, that you get from an experience and make something of it.

[Knifeboy]

I'm not believing any of these DVD news before they're actually out.. I'm not completely doubting that they'd release a dvd with only one video and a couple of comments... But it just seems too unlikely

[A pig in a cage on antibiotics]

Theres goin to be 2 videos Schism and Parabol/Parabola, Why would they release them seperatly?

As far as I can see the only reasons are:

A>The artwork is going to be really impressive and people will be able to get two different types?

B>Theres going to be more special features that havnt been announced (I personally hope this is the case)?

C>There looking for more money (which doesnt make sense because theyre only $8 each and anyway they dont seem the kinda guys that are like that)?

D>They see it as being a better option to choose if you want to buy one dvd at $8 or two for $16 instead of paying $15-$20 for one dvd with both videos and one set of artwork? (this seems the most believable option)

What do you all think?

[Knifeboy]

I'm guessing B

[repcak]

i'm guessing A

[bwnstl]

can anyone answer?

He's tired of waiting for the asshole to be "caught." The definition of "caught" is up to the listener, but I think from the original song lyrics of "maybe I should play god and shoot you myself" that by being "caught" Maynard hopes the asshole will be eliminated.

[Toaster]

Have you heard the version of Hurt on Radiant Decay?

I haven't, actually. This is the first time I've heard of it.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Did anyone else notice this paragraph from wikipedia?

Although the end of the tour seemed to spell another dormancy for the band, they did not become completely inactive. While Keenan recorded and toured with A Perfect Circle, the other band members released an official interview conducted by (long-time toolband.com maintainer) Blair McKenzie Blake in which they answered many questions about the upcoming album, future DVD releases, and the new direction of their music. Members of the Tool Army were also given access to a recording of the three members jamming to some of their new material, sparking increased anticipation for the album to come.

I don't recall hearing about the band letting people hear some of the new material.

[paganman7]

Just in case there was some lingering doubt: the album is absolutely finished being recorded...Justin is on a sailboat sailing towards the Dutch Antilles (per Blair's most recent post).

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Yeah, I just read that. If he's on a sailboat heading to someplace far away, then there's no doubt in my mind that the album is done. What's left is the music video and the artwork, which has been worked on for a few months now, I think. I believe this album will be coming a lot earlier then when I originally predicted (June 2006).

[A pig in a cage on antibiotics]

Im guessing January-February 2006 (I hope!) Danny said that it would be spring 2006. Hopefully the live dvd will be released before it as some people are speculating. That would definatly keep me "temporaraly pacified"!!

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Im guessing January-February 2006 (I hope!) Danny said that it would be spring 2006. Hopefully the live dvd will be released before it as some people are speculating. That would definatly keep me "temporaraly pacified"!!

When did he say spring 2006?

[Red Cow]

Dose any one know who did the cover art for Schism and Parabol/Parabola. The designs are amazen,was thinkn Alex Grey cuz of the intricice but its not realy his style or is it that Eli Morgan guy,anyone any ideas?

[Knifeboy]

If they're releasing the live dvd before the next album, I'll bet you 20 bucks that there'll be atleast a half years space between the next album and the dvd

[horseman]

maybe theyre releasing two dvds for contratual obligations...maybe they had to release two dvds so they split them up

[paganman7]

maybe theyre releasing two dvds for contratual obligations

That's something that I'd not considered. I think it's unlikely, but certainly a possibility. Good thinking mate!


Additionally, Maynard's involvement in the upcoming album is probably finished as well...he's now focussing on his passion for wine.

[paganman7]

Just because I'm bored:

The Toolnavy page with "Maynard's" profile has been taken down. I'm still not fully convinced it was authentic, but proponents could argue that it was taken down because it suggested something may come out January 3rd...just like the picture on Adam's myspace page of the audio reel cases.

I actually e-mailed Blair about the Maynard username and the date and he said that he had no clue what I was talking about.

No. Sorry, but I've no idea. ~ BMB

I'm curious about something. Over at Toolnavy.com, there's a member named Maynard. He doesn't show up when you do a member search.

Wow, today I listened to Tool for the first time in a while. Felt pretty good but I don't think I'll listen to it again for a while.

[Txus]

Why?

[Moses]

I've overdone in the past and isn't as interesting as it used to be. Before I was captivated because I could just sit there and listen to the song and just watch life flow by. As I listened to it about a million times the effect began to fade. I can't go back and analyze things like I used to either because I've already done that for just about every song.

[paganman7]

How did those reels insist it was going to be released January 3rd?

Sorry, my post wasn't all that clear. The audio reels didn't actually give that date, but the labels on the front did indicate Tool as the "producer". I suspect that's why Adam took them down.

Thats what was happening to me, hence the beginning of my Tool fast all those months ago. :cool:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Surprisingly enough, I've also ceased a little bit in the amount of Tool I listen to on a daily basis. According to my last.fm, I'v only listened to about 20 Tool tracks in the last few weeks.

[Huber]

Compared to before, I listen to very little too. I might give an album a spin every week or so, but that's about it. Probably has something to do with my recent fascination with Prog Metal (DT, Pagan's mind, Symphony X)

[Werny]

Dose any one know who did the cover art for Schism and Parabol/Parabola. The designs are amazen,was thinkn Alex Grey cuz of the intricice but its not realy his style or is it that Eli Morgan guy,anyone any ideas?

There's pictures of the cover art now? Must see!

Hmm, my listening of Tool has suddenly sparked up again lately... listening to Swamp Song right now. Love it.

EDIT: Oh I saw the cover art... rather unToolish, don't you think? Awesome though. They're based on designs by Alex Grey but he didn't actually do them. The font is just not Alex Grey.

And I'm looking forward to the remixes by Lustmord, he's a legend.

[Otherside]

So according to toolband.com, the cd is just about done, I can see a early 1006 release easily.

[BlindWriting]

Early 1006 and even Medieval Europe would have had it by now. :(

[Otherside]

oh shi

You've cracked the secret code that MJK personally told me when I saw him at the movies the other day.

The truth is, the cd is already out. It has been for a millenia. Only the truly enlightened can find it by following the path laid out in the Lateralus art book.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Yeah. I've known about this for a while guys.

Since we're confessing everything here, I might as well tell you that I am actually also the real Michelangelo.

Well, not the real Sistine Chapel Michelangelo, but the one in my avatar of course.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

So according to toolband.com, the cd is just about done, I can see a early 1006 release easily.

Exactly as I expected. They're just putting the finishing touches on it now. My prediction: Feburary 2006 release date. Then again, how much time is there usually between when an album is finished and when it is released?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

A February release date would be right around my birthday. Talk about the most wicked birthday present ever. :p

And no, Donatello was a nerd with a broomhandle for a weapon. :rolleyes:

[Darkness]

I still believe it will be out for my birthday, December 25th. :D

I just want it to come out soon.

[paganman7]

Lateralus was finished recording on January 23rd, and released 5 months later. However, I suspect the conflict with Volcano had something to do with that.

I find it curious that Maynard said "once the album is released and the holidays subsided"...in that order. If the album is to be released in, say, February, wouldn't he have said "once the holidays are over and the album is released". January 3rd is looking more possible to me.

[Spiritofmosa]

By the way, does anyone know what's up with MJK's website? It changed from that haiku to a weird ant looking creature and below it, it says: "Buyer Beware" Interesting...

[pasulpepe]

well, I like tool, you have to be in the mood to listen to a perfect circle, But I think Maynard is a brilliant vocalist

[misunderstood]

By the way, does anyone know what's up with MJK's website? It changed from that haiku to a weird ant looking creature and below it, it says: "Buyer Beware" Interesting...

I've been to MJK's site a few times and there's usually nothing 'important' on there. I did see that "Buyer Beware" thing as well. I just thought this site was a tease all on its own. I figured that maybe Maynard bought the domain so no one else would. But who knows, now it opens as Puscifer's page. Maybe it's their future homepage.:confused:

Maynard thinks Leonardo is the coolest Ninja Turtle and the new album will have a 28 minute song completely dedicated to him, as well as a fold out poster of him in the liner notes.

Current Events
# Latest news: 08 Dec 05
PARABOL/PARABOLA & SCHISM DVD PRE-ORDERS

I've just been informed that pre-sales of the PARABOL(A) & SCHISM dvds will be available in the TA SHOPPING BAZAAR tomorrow (that's FRIDAY, DEC 9). Any orders will be packed up over the weekend and shipped out on Monday (Dec 12th) and Tuesday (Dec 13th), so that those who want them slightly before they're released in the chains can do so (also, in case some of you are worried about finding them in your local record stores). The dvds for Parabol(a) and Schism are being sold separately, each one for $9.98 (I'm fairly sure) plus shipping and handling. Each one contains the video with audio commentary by a guest (and NOT by the band members) plus a LUSTMORD audio re-mix of the song.

Hmm. I wonder if that's really all they're going to have. I thought they were really gonna have commentary by the band. Oh well. Just thought I'd share this.

[Knifeboy]

That seems mightily sucky

[mudvayne420]

if it's going to be like that then for sure they released them for contractual purposes, but maybe not, i dont mind i'll still check them out.

[BlindWriting]

Ten bucks says that the commentaries are either from Scott Reeder, King Buzzo, one of the members of Collide, or anyone else associated to the Tool that Blair talks about on the site for no real reason.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Himself?

[horseman]

good guess jake...twas what i was bout to say.

I'd say scott reeder will definatly be in their, and for parabola definatly alex grey, hey thats not so bad, but still damn you to hell tool!!!!!!!

I actually like how they don't give commentary. It kinda keeps it open to interpretation, which is half the fun.

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=45484

Looks like a April/May release after all.
All right, well, I eagerly await it.

[Kage]

At least that's something more concrete. I don't have a problem with it.

[ThePatient]

The posts on that site were... wow.

A few of my favorites:

Another new album??? They just release that Ghost Reveries album cot too long ago.

tool were cool like ten+ years ago.their **** is soo ****ing stale. a perfect cirlce was wayyy over played.especially in the strip clubs.new tool album better be mind boggling good or im gonna do worst thing I can think of which is bash them on blabbermouth every single day.im soooo evil.....

TOOL is über overrated... The live show was lame just some tv screens with wierd videos..... I left TOOL to see Godsmack instead. Everything about TOOL and APC is that it is super boring.

We have a winner!!!

Oh and this is good news. Not great news, because it'll probably be pushed back, because they're dicks like that.

[Werny]

I don't think the commentaries will be worth it, I mean the videos go for 6 minutes and 10 minutes, we won't get much chatter out of the boys.

But I eagerly await the remixes, have you heard Pigs of the Roman Empire? It's Lustmord with The Melvins (when they had Adam Jones... he might still be with them, actually). Brilliance.

Wow, what a great forum. That's gonna be a great time for music! New Tool, and new RHCP!

[G_Mac07]

So, last night I re-watched an interview with Maynard that I have on my laptop, and found it surprising that he referred to Nirvana as one of their peers (alongside RATM, Soundgarden etc). I found it interesting. Thoughts?

[Werny]

I think he added so much to The Melvins' sound, he made it so much more trippy and atmospheric. But to each his own.

Not surprising, they were both very alternative and both guitarists have bizarre tones. Remember that peer doesn't necessarily mean they liked Nirvana.

Looks like a April/May release after all.
TOOL singer Maynard James Keenan is preparing to release the first wines from his own personal vineyard. Three 2004 red wine blends will debut in the spring of 2006, with more information available at caduceus.org.

[something erotic]

Isis will be the Summer 06 opener unless something changes fast.

[Esoteric_Creator]

Hey there Sinner's and Enlightened Ones alike,

For those who are fans TOOL (granted), Alex Grey and of Daily Grail (http://www.dailygrail.com), there is a news update:

Those out there who enjoyed the Alex Grey piece in the most recent issue of Sub Rosa, and who like that teeny-boppin' boy band known as TOOL, might be interested in a new book from Alex Grey scheduled for June 2006. The short blurb for the book includes this: "Tool celebrates the fusion of two of the top talents in the worlds of art and music."

And if you like TOOL and art combined, then you're surely a person of high tastes and don't mind combining the legendary band with some wine as well. And what better wine to drink when listening to Mister Keenan's dulcet tones than this little drop? I'm sure our good friend Blair over at Toolband.com has been telling us about this for months now, but knowing him he probably wrapped it in some esoteric biliteral cipher known only to a few enlightened initiates (and their drinking buddies, waitresses, and really anybody who would listen to them at 3am after a long night).

Just something else to wet appetites till the Live DVD and new album come out..

Prying Open my Third Eye,

[paganman7]

New update on Toolband. Nothing big, just some screenshots of the two DVD menus.

[Knifeboy]

Hm, as lame as it might sound, I'm considering buying those DVD's for those menus, haha

That's what I heard from a "trustworthy" messageboard.

New update on Toolband. Nothing big, just some screenshots of the two DVD menus.
My sister in law said she'd buy those for me for my birthday/christmas (there on the same day). :cool:

[misunderstood]

Well, just finished reading on another board that:

"the remixes are interesting. the schism one is very cool. digipak packaging".

Also found out that the 'Schism' remix is suppose to be about 20mins long while 'Parabola' is about 15mins.
And! I also read who the commentary guests are suppose to be. Not sure if everyone on here wants me to just put out the names or you'd rather wait and find out when you get the dvds.

[paganman7]

Hm, as lame as it might sound, I'm considering buying those DVD's for those menus, haha

Same here, or more likely, I suspect that at least one person will buy them for me this christmas.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

And! I also read who the commentary guests are suppose to be. Not sure if everyone on here wants me to just put out the names or you'd rather wait and find out when you get the dvds.

Yeah, tell me.

[Dude3]

I thought I'd bump this, and drop in and say hi.

I've really deserted this site as of lately. I've had a lot of personal issues in my life going on, with everything ranging from love, confusion, divorce, moving, as of last night finally believing in God, and so on. Its been the complete best and worst year of my life.

^Why I told you that? I don't know....

Anyways, its Christmas break! Woohooo!!! Exams=over. I didn't study for any of them, and I think the outcome will be just fine. I haven't been listening to Tool for quite some time, and actually probably wont listen to them til I hear the new album. I've actually started to take a liking in From First to Last, some emo and indie stuff, etc... Oh, and The Fall of Troy is like woooaaahhh. I'm starting to get my band together. Not sure what we'll sound like though. I was thinking metal before, but now, I want a good mix of metal, post hardcore, lots of melody, breakdowns, acoustic interludes, and the such. Who knows where this may be going.

So who are the guests?

[misunderstood]

Ok, well this is what I read:
"'Schism' guest commentary = David Yow"
"'Parabola' guest commentary = Jello Biafra"

[Dude3]

Ok, well this is what I read:

Fuk yeah.

[A pig in a cage on antibiotics]

Jello as in Green jello (the Band)?
Forgive my ignorance but who is David Yow?

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

extremely dissapointed in those guests

[Darkness]

As am I, I haven't even heard of either of them.

[lucky luciano]

Ive heard of Jelly Biafra, but I have no ****in clue who either of them are

[Kage]

Possibly the worst guests I could imagine.


EDIT: How can you be a political activist if you're an anarchist?

[Darkness]

Man.. thats weak... :upset:

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

I was hoping for atleast commentary from Alex Grey or Chet Zar. I can understand the band not doing it, because that would be like Kubrick explaining his movies shot by shot. It's better left open for interpretation. However, I really hope those aren't the real guest commentators on the dvds. That's really lame.

And I agree. Why should we give a **** what those two guys have to say?

I suddenly regret getting a $300 Schecter for Christmas.

I won't be able to get the DVD. :upset:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I'm going to guess they're not worth my 20 bucks to buy both. :-/

But hey, after Christmas, I'll probably have a bunch of extra cash floating around, so I'm guessing I'll end up buying both DVD's. :p

[randomthought9]

Exactly what I'm saying.

[Werny]

I don't want 10 minutes of some punk going "woh man, that's some weird hippy crap right there". Stuff the DVD's, I'm not participating in this stupid money-making scheme.

[A pig in a cage on antibiotics]

Well listen, tool have to have plum sauce to bathe in (its very expensive) so if we want them to keep making music we'd better buy these dvds. Thats how they keep their youthful good looks. They have a truck with a plum sauce bath that follows them on tour and they all get naked with a bunch of asian guys and pygmies from south america and swim in it. If we want them to tour we have to make sure they can afford the Plum sauce so lets all dig deep and dish out those $16 so that the guys can bathe their talented asses in the sauce of kings. Amen.

[Werny]

Jello Biafra's actually quite a smart guy, even though I'm not quite sure why Tool of all bands have picked him to be a commentator. I'm guessing it's got more to do with similar political beliefs to members of the band than anything else, but he is quite an odd choice. Jesus Lizard were a great band, but that's a very strange pick to me. Considering that they could have got so many people to do the commentaries, the picks are quite disappointing.

I wasn't saying he was stupid, I've seen him on a documentary and he seems like a smart, cool guy. I meant to say, what the hell is this guy gonna have to say? Tool are, within alternative music, the polar opposite to what Jello does (not so much Jesus Lizard I'm assuming). The most interesting thing they'll have to say will probably be something like "oh yeah, I remember this thing creeped the shat out of me when I saw it".

I'm saving up already.
Heaven forbid Danny go more than 12 hours without dipping his 9 foot stature into some o' dat sauce. Pretty soon, he'll run out of Paistes to smash and then he'll go Hulk and start smashing humans. Maynard'll go first, since he's the least manly.

"PAISEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS!!!!"
"Whoa, Danny, calm down now. Here, have these Zildjians. They're just as good, maybe better."
"NO! DANNY WANT PAISTEEEEEEEEEESSSSS!!!!"
*SMASH SMASH!!*

[something erotic]

:lol: This thread has really seemed to keep going uphill, then downhill, then uphill....

[One Groovin Clown]

I expect an uphill mstion once one of us gets the DVD's and a even LARGER uphill swing when the labum comes out. Then, once the album is idssected to bits, I'll be ready for a even larger downhill swing.

[Darkness]

Yeah, after the new albums out, and all the dissection begins, this thread will most likely die after a few months... since there will be little Tool talk, except when people talk about all the tours.

[Futuro]

I think i'm going to avoid this thread once the new album is out. Ill wait till the endless interpretations are done. So far I find my own meaning in any Tool song, i do like to know what the majority of the interpretations are, i just dont need tons of ideas into my head. I take what it means to me.

[Werny]

Yeah, after the new albums out, and all the dissection begins, this thread will most likely die after a few months... since there will be little Tool talk, except when people talk about all the tours.

People still discuss the meanings of songs from as far back as Ænima still, so it's gonna take more than a few months for the discussion of this colossus record to stop.

heh heh, i bought the lateralus album today just cuz i heard the track about the area 51 guy is creepy.

That's an odd choice. Have you listened to it yet?

Tool has a pretty close relationship with him, which is why I assume he was chosen. I want to know why the other guy was chosen; I've never even heard of the guy.

[Werny]

Not in this thread buddy. I haven't seen even a Latearlus interpretation in months.

Come to think of it, you're right. I just don't see people in here running out of stuff to talk about. I mean, we have the new album which will be discussed for months on end, then touring, and then talk about another album... yeah.

[Crysiss]

That's an odd choice. Have you listened to it yet?

WEll, i remember hearing them a couple years ago thinking that it was fudged up music. but im more open to music these days.

[Darkness]

DVD's tomorrow. :)

[One Groovin Clown]

DVD's tomorrow. :)

I'm going Christmas shopping tommorow, i'll see if i can either check them out or maybe even pick one up.

[ThePatient]

*has a fresh $20 bill in pocket*

Oh no... :(

[Darkness]

Alright, who bought? Details?

[Kage]

Not me. I was even Best Buy and walked right past them!

/victory

[Futuro]

Couldnt find em at best buy :(

[Darkness]

Couldnt find em at best buy :(
Coudln't find them at cd plus. :(

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

What the hell? I would have figured that at least a handful of people would already have the DVDs. :confused:

Wierd. Maybe we've been dooped. :eek:

[Darkness]

I'm getting them for christmas, I just wanted to check them out at the store... only time will tell...

[mudvayne420]

i got it yesterday And to say most of you will be dissapointed with the way its presented in which to me seems HALF-***. The commentary, is doubled, its trippy to hear, its pretty hard to understand what he's saying, but its pretty funny. It comes with pics of the vid, and some behind the scenes pics. It's alright but, it seems they HAD to release a DVD, but they didn't want to. I'm just glad i got the videos.

[Kage]

I didn't expect any more or less than pure dissapointment.

Why do I want funny commentary about the videos? Christ, this pisses me off. What a lackluster and sub-par product.

[paganman7]

Despite my best intentions, I bought them yesterday. The commentaries are absolutely worthless. Even if they were understandable, they had little, if anything, to do with the videos or the music. I appreciate that two has-beens should not be telling us what they think of Tool music, but their commentary was worthless; it was like having your dumbest, least eduacated friend over, getting him stoned, and then listening to him talk about a music video.

These things are crap.

[omgwtfboogie]

I'm so tired of everyone trashing the singles, so before I review:

First of all, they are DVD SINGLES. This means that they are one song with a few extra things thrown in. I'm tired of hearing, "OMGZ WHERE R DA NU SONGZ LAWL?!!`1" coming out of every damn Tool fan's mouth. It's a single, you get what you get. If you expected more, you're retarded. If you wanted both to be released on the same disc, once again...it's a single. (Although that is a more valid argument than the previous, and I see where you're coming from.)

Second...Lustmord is an AMBIENT artist. If you don't know what ambient music is, look it up and you'll see why the remixes turned out the way they did. I mean honestly. If you bitch about that you're missing pieces of information.. B. Lustmord remixed the songs using his style to manipulate them.

Okay, so now that I got that out of the way, I must say I love both of the videos. Now instead of turning on my computer to watch them, I can put them on the TV! Woot.

The commentaries are not what I expected them to be. Jello Biafra is a damn smart guy, but the relationship between Tool and him doesn't make much sense. I'd rather have a band member or someone like Alex Grey commentate. But hey...I can always turn the commentary off.

The remixes might just be something I personally like. I'm a fan of Lustmord's work, so him remixing Tool is pretty special to me. Good stuff.

The menus...well let's see another band put something together like that. Granted, they are just menus and all, but still. Artistic++

Of course, another thing about the DVD singles: the copies I have had a sticker on them claiming the release of the next Tool album will be in Spring 2006. We all know that, but it's always nice to hear.

All in all, worth the money. They're eight bucks, they have the videos, art, Lustmord Remixes, and commentary. Even if they only contained the videos, they would be well worth it.

:chug:

[Knifeboy]

^^ was that post directed at anyone on these forums?

[omgwtfboogie]

I do not know. Has anyone here complained about that stuff? I know on other boards they sure have. People just can't grasp the concept of a single..

[One Groovin Clown]

i know what i'm getting for Christmas form my sister. Shes getting me the toolology dvd. I'm actually quite interested to see it. I had teh choice between: Toology, parabola single, or the schism single. I chose the dvd because i though that i might never have another chance to get it.

[Darkness]

I heard that DVD was complete crap... I would have gotten one of the singles. :p

The reviews for Toology on amazon.com says that it's easily one of the worst things ever released on DVD, laughably awful. The band had nothing to do with the making of it.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

I am proud to say that I have not/will not purchase this... A live DVD on the other hand...

Get off your soap box and take it easy with the condescension! These DVDs were crap.

[Moses]

Seriously that's really dissappointing. All this time and all they could do was give us these overpriced DVD singles? WTF MATE!!!

[Darkness]

8 bucks is overpriced? I think not, personally.

[ThePatient]

Why pay $8 when I can sit and watch the video on my computer, and commentate them myself. I care more about what I have to say then the guys they got to do them.

[BlindWriting]

I agree. I'm planning on borrowing both from a friend of mine who got each one already, so I'm definitely not wasting a dime.

[Moses]

My friend said they were like 10 bucks so, yeah.

[Darkness]

^That dude up there said 8. I'd probably still buy it for 10 though, I'd really like to have the DVD quality version of the Parabola video... <3

But thats just me.

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

tool are a very good band. maynard is a very good vocalist. i am looking foward to the new album too!

[ShadowMan]

Saw "DVD" and got excited the live one may finally be out.....
Is now disappointed.

[paganman7]

At Best Buy, Schism is $7.99 and Parabola is $9.99.

[Magicaltroll]

Where the hell is the November newsletter?

[Killtacular]

Concealed firmly within the depths of Blair's ***.

[Shadius]

I like how everyones pissed off because they illegally downloaded videos that wern't up for release yet. Those videos are amazing artwork; i'd say worth a few bucks/quid for each one isn't too much to ask. I'd like to own them in DVD quality.

Imagine what it was like the first time you saw the Schism/Parabola videos on your computer and you could watch them whenever you wanted. I'm sure most of you watched them a few times at least. Well, most Tool fans will get that, and in far superior quality. Most of whom might only have seen them on TV when they were released (If they were lucky) or maybe clips from the bands shows. Not everyone d/ls all the videos ripped from TV, and the band wouldn't expect you to, they crafted those videos and don't expect people to just steal all that art for free; so I see where they're coming from.

Having said that, from what I'm hearing about the commentaries; I wish they were better. I'll be getting mine shipped from america within the next few weeks, so we'll see. I'm also a little excited to hear the remixes of the songs in a different style.

Everyone was hoping for so much with these singles, thats why everyones saying they're utter crap. Everyone was like.. I bet theres a few more tracks on, or more special features, etc. *shrug*

I bet everyone complains when the live DVD comes out because it's the OK show, or something. That'd be hilarious.

You get what you pay for. The new album, on the other hand, that'll be something we can all enjoy.

[paganman7]

Imagine what it was like the first time you saw the Schism/Parabola videos on your computer and you could watch them whenever you wanted. I'm sure most of you watched them a few times at least. Well, most Tool fans will get that, and in far superior quality.

This is the most cognitive, rational defense of the DVDs I've heard so far; well said mate. My main complaint is that I just paid $19.00 for two videos...let me say that again, I just paid $19.00 for two videos. Videos on iTunes cost $1.99 each, end of story. The commentaries are absolutely atrocious, incomprehensible nonsense.

I never had a complaint about the videos; the videos are fantastic. However, $19.00? Crikey!

[Shadius]

Really? If i'd lived in America I could have gotten both videos for $5.99 each off amazon (Free postage if i'd have put them along with some other stuff I wanted). 12 bucks is like.. what? 7 quid or something. That'd be worth it for me personally, especially considering I get the remixes as well. Any more, and I know what you mean.

They probably *should* have put both of them on the same DVD so we got something a bit more like a Salival II.

[omgwtfboogie]

I understand the whole "include them on one DVD" argument, but then how many bands include their singles on the same disc? None.

And don't give me some crap about singles collections, those don't count.

[Shadius]

Most bands don't release singles four years after an album's released, either.

To pick an example of a double single would be Muse's Dead Star/In your world double single.

[paganman7]

Most bands don't release singles four years after an album's released, either.

Yahtzee! These DVDs are an attempt to assuage the impatience felt by most fans...they failed miserably.

Why pay $8 when I can sit and watch the video on my computer, and commentate them myself. I care more about what I have to say then the guys they got to do them.

[mudvayne420]

who doesn't....well have you guys ever wondered they might be hinting something to us either about that crazy Alt. order, or the new album.....well when i listened to schism on this DVD i never noticed after the bridge that there were church sounding bells. i'm also starting to wonder if Their really is an alternative order......

Do you speak of the remix? Last time I checked there's definitely no church bells on the album version.

Get it? Church bells? Schism?

[mudvayne420]

its at about 5:13 into the song, you have to use earphones or listen real closely to hear them.

I listened to that part and still can't hear them. Are you sure you're not talking about the remix on the singles?

[Huber]

As soon as I heard that Tool themselves weren't commentating I didn't care anymore. Not being into ambient music didn't help either.

I think I'll instead buy a Volto! ticket :thumb:

Did anyone read the newest Toolband.com update? Blair and Danny went on a little trip or something. There's something I noticed about it, though. It says they went to Danny's hometown Payola, Kansas. Except, it's spelt Paola. Payola, as I'm sure a lot of you know, is a bribe given to a disc jockey to induce him to promote a particular record. This is an illegal act but is known to be done by just about every record company. Blair also mentioned that when they pulled into Danny's childhood home driveway, "Schism" was playing on the radio. Considering the fact that he replaces Paola with Payola in the story more than once, do you think he's hinting at a new single soon?

[Killtacular]
