Tool

[Otherside]

Yeah, it's far better to lead them on so they feel frustrated and foolish. Then you can have a few giggles at their expense and feel like a "real" Tool fan.

Seems like someone got their feelings hurt :p

You don't have the obligation to ridicule them either. You could just ignore their post, or in your next post simply print "see top of page", or something similar.

[Darkness]

But they have the obligation to check various other sources, such as the Tool web sites, or even quickly browse a few pages back to see if anythings been said.

[Toaster]

First of all, you're condoning the behaviour by saying that since one person doesn't do what he is "obligated" to do, you then take it upon yourself to punish him by ridiculing him?

Second, you don't know whether these users checked other sources or not. Users are allowed to ask questions about a release date. When I check other sources about an upcoming album title, and I find nothing, it's obvious I'm going to ask questions when I see titles in this thread. However, I wouldn't ask if I was aware of the fake titles that have been posted recently.. which leads me to think that you're just bored with real Tool discussion, and are posting these falsities for kicks alone.

Adam jones.tv should be pretty cool. Well from what I have seen on his myspace at least.

don't take this so seriously. it's really not a big deal. you're making this out to be something huge. punishing a user by ridicule? i mean, come on, a little joking around is to be expected. and besides, this threads been around for a long time. i'm pretty sure we've almost exhausted talk about what minimal details we get about the new album and older albums.

[Toaster]

I can't believe how extremely gullible people are in this thread some times

I know...

Transvestite Musings!

o rly?!11

You'd think by the tenth time we've made that joke or something similar, people would catch on.

Yeah its pretty funny.

I know it's not that serious. I was trying to make a point, people wanted to argue, so I defended my position. It just bugs me how I got ridiculed for something so trivial and obviously not indicative in any way of my amount of love for Tool.

And yes, my feelings were hurt somewhat.. this is after I believed that the album was out in 2 weeks. :p

I thought it was funny. It dosn't have anything to do with being more or less of a fan of the band. We always joke around like this, mostly because the band members themselves are known to. It's sort of a Tool in-joke, though pretty much everyone knows about it, so it's not exactly exclusive or anything.

When the new album comes out we can think of more interesting things to talk about, rather than either rehashing old discussions or clutching at straws and making up dumb theories.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

There's a highly good chance that the album will be out in May. That's 3 months away. It's a long way from now, but atleast we don't have to wait another year. Judging by the timeline from the events leading up to the Lateralus release, we should find out the name of the new album within the next couple weeks.

I remember searching for one of the fake ones 5 years ago :(

Actually, following the Lateralus timeline, we would've gotten those fake album/song titles already. Plus, I doubt Tool would pull that joke twice.

[Darkness]

this is after I believed that the album was out in 2 weeks. :p
That would be my fault. :D

Not that I regret it. :p

[Kage]

I wonder if anyone's going to believe the titles are real when they do release the real ones.

[Darkness]

I'm not believing anything tell the records in my hands.

[Kage]

I'm not believing anything tell the records in my hands.
Man, I couldn't have put it better myself.

[Shadius]

In your hands? I thought the album was a myth at this point. :p

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Man, I couldn't have put it better myself.

Spelling aside, I also agree with this idea. :p

To fill the void, why don't you guys check out Steerpikes most recent spotlight on The Cruxshadows. Wicked good band.

[Darkness]

What did I spell wrong...

[Futuro]

I couldn't till you.

It should be "...'till (or until) the record's in my hands."

[Moses]

Soon they're going to sell fake albums and we won't know when the real one will come out because there will be all these fake ones and they'll keep releasing them to make you think the real one is a fake too and then they'll sit in their lazy-boys and laugh till someone actually stumbles upon the real album and then Maynard will flip some people and then the Rapture will take place and all the Christians will disappear from the Earth which is kinda sad because they wouldn't have been able to hear the album but who cares cuz they're in heaven as far as they know right?

[G_Mac07]

So, what's the news guys?

/hasn't been around here for the last 2 months

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

So, what's the news guys?

/hasn't been around here for the last 2 months

Album is mastered and is coming out in May. They are going to Europe (minus Adam) to do promo touring. Most likely, this is giving the album to certain critics for early reviews. Expect to hear the name of the album and/or song titles within the next couple weeks.

[G_Mac07]

Thank you. :)

[Futuro]

Why is uploading illegal?

And since when does tool do love songs?

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Why is upload (http://s52.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=25EWJMILNAXS016E8QRUOF3OPJ)ing illegal?

And since when does tool do love songs?

It's not allowed on these forums, not sure why. Ask MX.

Oh, and that's not Tool. That's probably a band Maynard was in before he joined Tool.

[Futuro]

Ok cool, Drummer has the same dynamic style as Carey.

[Rounder]

Oh, and that's not Tool. That's probably a band Maynard was in before he joined Tool.

it is the Replicants, they did a bunch of covers, floyd and stuff. Was looking for some of this stuff, always wanted to hear it. The drummer does have a danny vibe.

it was maynard, Paul d'Amour (tool) some guys from some other band and someone from Danny's side project Zaum.

[Darkness]

It should be "...'till (or until) the record's in my hands."
Oh, I guess I was just typing the way I talk.

[Killtacular]

Wrong. It should be "...'til."

Because you're shortening "until" not "untill."

[Darkness]

Wrong. It should be "...'til."

Oh, burn.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Christ, sorry for the derailment guys. :lol:

[Pezzo_di_Merda]

You can get info on pretty much anything about TOOL on one of their websites, no need asking anyone here, and quite frankly, I'd much rather go to TOOL's site then to an unofficial one, no offense to anyone

hahaha ****..

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

"Till" is a word. The apostrophe isn't needed. When people say till, it's not an abbreviation of until, it's its own word.



Oh, burn. :rolleyes:

[Kurrpt]

someone need to put a BIG reminder for me that states



THREAD IS WORTH VISITING AGAIN KURRPT



it would be greatly appreciated :lol: :thumb:

[Solvent_Abuse]

Wow.. talking about 'til' ant 'till' :lol:

Anyway, first post here, expect to see me a lot more.

Just gotta say, Tool has really made a difference to me. I love Third Eye, The Grudge, Jimmy and Lateralus.

Have you guys ever discussed 'toolgasms'?

Well every one of those songs does it for me :lol:

See you around!

[Futuro]

Have you guys ever discussed 'toolgasms'?Freak! :mad:

I think Tool should either switch to writing songs about dragons(Power metal lol)/and or Boy band pop songs for one album. I can just imagine "Bye Bye Bye" In 5/8 :p

[Trintar_VIII]

Toolgasms, eh? I call them Tool Moments, but I guess they both mean the same thing. Yeah, I get those on several of their songs. It's good stuff.

[Moses]

I can just imagine "Bye Bye Bye" In 5/8 :p
This made me laugh out loud and actually try it.

[Knifeboy]

I've tried "toolgasms" but I'm not so arrogant or ignorant to believe that only Tool can cause them.. So I call them the correct term "eargasms"

[Huber]

I've tried "toolgasms" but I'm not so arrogant or ignorant to believe that only Tool can cause them.. So I call them the correct term "eargasms"

I call it the "musical g-spot".

[Spiritofmosa]

the best toolgasm i had was when i was listeining to the grudge and my mind wad half awake , the chunky distorted riffs gave we the great feeling

[Trintar_VIII]

Yeah, they're quite nice. I've gotten such feelings during some Opeth stuff as well, though it originated with Tool.

[Kage]

I get eargasms from a lot of music, in fact, most of my favorite music.

[clearvision]

Waking up to the scream in ticks is probably the best experience i've had listening to tool. It ALWAYS happens it's quite amusing. SUUUUUCK

Maybe no quarter/push!t/third eye in the dark too...

[ThePatient]

Pushit in the dark is my favorite.

I actually cried during it once, but in my defense it was my 6th day in the hospital and I was starting to crack.

[Esoteric_Creator]

I first had my first Toolgasm (if you don't like me calling them this...sue me. lol.) during a depression I was going through. A cousin had burned this CD for me (I had never heard them beforehand) and I listened to Reflection...
...nearly wet myself after that..

Now I get a toolgasm everytime I'm learning something new and I have the Lateralus CD playing in my ears..

[Magicaltroll]

I get eargasms from a lot of music, in fact, most of my favorite music.
I get constant eargasms while listening to Pig Destroyer - Terrifyer.

Half an hour of musical bliss...
And it never gets old.

I know what you mean, although I have trouble getting any kind of blissful feeling from music that extreme. Softer stuff usually does it for me. ;)

[Magicaltroll]

Me too.
Usually heavy stuff is just awesome sounding. Or whatever you wanna call it :p


But that album is the most emotional album I have ever heard. And everything about it for me is just incredible. The riffs, the vocals, the insanely fast drum parts, and just all the intensity you hear in every song, just makes me get shivers. The lyrics are what really do it for me though, since I can relate extremely well to them.

The only album that comes close to this album emotional wise, in my opinion, is NIN - The Downward Spiral

[Shadius]

Eargasms... Oh dear.

Get laid, you freaks!

:p

[Toaster]

Do you get eargasms or just goosebumps? I've never gotten what I consider an eargasm from grind. It's usually a melodic thing, or a certain way a singer pronounces a part, or something to that effect. However, I get an equally awesome (yet different) feeling from a really heavy, sinister part.

That band really unnerves me. I listened to Prowler in it's entirety one evening, and I swear I had trouble falling asleep because the lyrics to "Starbelly" just kept repeating in my head. A very disturbing concept, but I do agree that the lyrics are well-written.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Eargasms... Oh dear.

Get laid, you freaks!

:p

Being obsessed with a band is by far greater than getting some.

Moses below: You're such a sap. :lol: But I love you.

[Darkness]

Agreed 100%.


Didn't we have a similar discussion about this a long time ago?

[Moses]

I think it depends on whether you're in love with the girl or not. Sex without love is such a petty and forgettable act.

[Mr_Bounce]

Hehe, eargasms...

About Tool, they're pretty much just f***ing amazing in all ways.

[Kurrpt]

I think it depends on whether you're in love with the girl or not. Sex without love is such a petty and forgettable act.



well, if you are man-whore it is...

[misunderstood]

"Rumors continue to fly around about album release dates, and now rumors are out about the title of the new album. A Seattle radio station this morning announced the title would be "Elephtheria", to which Maynard's response was "nice try." Even more amusing were the song titles they announced (these bogus names are here only so you can laugh and ask yourself if these sound more like Tool titles or Limp Bizkit titles) -- "Greed Lies", "Psychiatrical", "Karma", and "Feminist Souls." Yikes."

:rolleyes:
That album title had been in the rumor mill for quite some time now...especially over at the toolnavy boards. It can finally be scratched out.

[Knifeboy]

Christ, these fake album titles are some of the dumbest I've ever seen

[Otherside]

I like how everyone goes for all these psuedo-intellectual names to try and sound like Tool and fail so bad, when it's really not hard to come up with names in the style of Tool.

(looks over at screen name)

[Esoteric_Creator]

Are there anyone in here that are visual artists..?
The reason I ask this is because after first hearing Lateralus so many images were flashing through my head I had to draw some of them. I can only imagine so with the new album on the horizon..
Did any of the past albums strike a creative streak in any of you guys..?

[Huber]

I get constant eargasms while listening to Pig Destroyer - Terrifyer.

Didn't you need some Pig Destroyer stuff from me awhile back? I completely forgot.

[Moses]

This totally qualifies me as MX Sap coming after what I replied to Jake before.

Okay last night I was really dreaming but almost half awake but not quite Lucid Dreaming. I was kind of self aware but not really and all the sudden I hear Sarah (my significan't other) whisper the words "I love you", I thought that she might have been on the phone so I wake up looking around for my phone and it's not with me and this is the point where I figure out it was a dream. I actually get up and find my phone to see that noone called.

I told her about it this morning and she thinks that she might have actually said it and this immediately triggers a question in my head, can there be astral communication? What do you all think?

[Darkness]

I think you just killed the thread again.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

I think it depends on whether you're in love with the girl or not. Sex without love is such a petty and forgettable act.

Haha, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree; at this point, I think love is petty at 17-18 yrs old. Sex is the sh!t.

[Trintar_VIII]

That's pretty interesting. I've never had such a thing happen to me, so I'm not really sure if it's possible or not. Very interesting, nonetheless.

haha wow maybe shes just playing wit you. Maybe you were thinking of her before your body fell asleep.
Once i was lying on my bed waiting for a handphone message, and the lights were off so if i recieved a message there would be light. so i was waiting and i fell into sleep paralys. my body couldnt move and i actually remember seeing light, but i coudlnt get out of the paralys. later i realised i did not recieve any message. :(

[Moses]

Shut up!!

/:upset:

Haha, I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree; at this point, I think love is petty at 17-18 yrs old. Sex is the sh!t.
The thing is I've had a licentious past and I really lost my virginity very young. I guess I just grew up really fast.

[Dried Muffin Remnants]

No, some day YOU'LL learn that sex is the only thing that matters, when all of sudden your wife turns into an old hag. Something tells me you won't "love" her as much when she's dry pvssy.

edit: excuse this 'licentious' post hahaha

[Kage]

I was gonna say, 'yowza.'

Except at extreme moments of horniness every once in a while, I'm not interested in having sex until it's something meaningful with a girl I really like.

cigaro - Very interesting story. Could you have been dreaming the entire time, perhaps?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Sex isn't as fun when it isn't meaningful.


That is why at this point in my life, I will say sex is overrated.

Anyone smart would deduce that I have not had anything meaningful, which would be correct.


This is relevant to Tool, because I am listening to 4 Degrees, a song about opening up. :)

[Moses]

Anyway, what does everyone think of my astral communication story?

Oh and Kage I have an album for you.

Extol-The Blueprint Dives

I could see you liking this.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

The power of suggestion is a real kicker.

[Kage]

Jake - You and me both. ;)

Anyway, what does everyone think of my astral communication story?
It's shaky, but things like that do happen to me quite a lot. I think when you have a close personal connection with a person, there is some kind of astral connection as well. I find that my brother and I have experiences similar to what you talked about, although, obviously with significantly different details.

Oh and Kage I have an album for you.

To all of those talking about sex:

Having sex is fun. It doesn't matter who it is with. I have a few female friends that I am close friends with, but if we are horny we will have sex with each other. It doesn't mean we are all out sleeping with a million people or whatever. What it comes down to is that sex feels good. It is nice being close to another person for that moment. And may I repeat that it feels great.

Sure, some will say that having sex with someone you care about feels better. Which it may (or may not), at times, but the problem is that a large percent of these people have not been experienced enough of these other relationships, or regular relationships for that matter, to make a critical judgement on the matter. But, in my opinion first (or the first couple) time sex is great (but wear protection).

With the protection that is available today, in my opinion, there is no reason to not have sex with random people if you feel inclined. One may bring up the possibility of contracting an STD. Well, to be honest if you are wearing protection the chance of that happening is slim. Another may bring up the chance of pregnancy. Well, if you wear a condom that is not likely to happen. And a decent percent of sexually active women are on the pill, so that helps.

In the end, having sex is fun, and with the right precautions, is just as safe, if not more safe, than a wide spectrum of activities that young, immature, people are involved with.

[Darkness]

Erm.. you took it a bit far, stop now.


So new album next week...

[Werny]

Half an hour of musical bliss...
And it never gets old.

The production is so crisp and clear, yet it still has that spastic grind energy to it, and doesn't sound over-produced.

The guitar is the heaviest and best I've heard. And the riffing in every song is completely different, which is amazing.

The vocals... aren't harsh at all. They're the only bad thing.

The drums play such catchy beats and are so fast... woooo.

I wouldn't call it bliss, but yes it's probably the best grind I've heard.

[Shadius]

About the astral projection; unlikely it was anything significant. Your unconscious will have the desire to hear her say "I love you", and she apparently loves you, so may have thought she said it, or is perhaps only saying it because you asked and she reconstructed the memory. I believe there are some things that are paranormal, but that story dosn't strike me as being particulary paranormal at all.

About having sex with friends; sex leads to loads of emotion, and emotional attachment for most people. Casual sex, especially with people you know can lead to one person getting the wrong idea, and friendships can suffer or break up for it. Sex for fun is totally fine, I'd just recommend them being strangers (So long as you make sure you use protection, preferably both of you, if not, definately the guy to avoid STI's). The best thing is sex with someone you care about a lot though, in my experience. I've been with my current girlfriend for over two years now, and it's all great. Casual sex wouldn't be quite as fulfilling. I couldn't see myself laying next to someone for hours afterwards, etc. and just being intimate in other ways. Sex isn't the 'be all and end all'.

Well the thing is, I'm really into astral projection and lucid dreaming and such. It could just be nothing but I'd like to figure out if we're capable of having conversations with other people while we sleep. It's really interesting to me and I'd like to look into it more.

[Trintar_VIII]

I do lucid dreaming every couple of nights. Isn't that when you can take control of your dream? Or if you wake up from a dream, go back to sleep and continue where you left off?

[Rounder]

one thing about real dreams is that you are not aware until you wakeup. but i was aware and my mind was seeing something else.

Being aware of your dreaming while it is occuring is called lucid dreaming.

its REALLY only cogniscent dreaming.


If you go from a waking state, immediately into a lucid dream its called a WILD, or a waking induced lucid dream


controlling your dreams is a totally different aspect of dreaming

[Trintar_VIII]

Well, I can do both. While I'm dreaming, I'll be fully aware that I'm dreaming and then just "run around" doing stuff that doesn't seem to happen the way it was originally intended.

i cant imagine having sex with some of my friends and stay the same. i rather have sex with a stranger than with my friend.



* sleep is beautiful

[clearvision]

The majority of the dreams i remember are lucid. It's not often i'm not in control, because i don't like not being in control. If i do stuff that is not normal for me to do IRL, more often than not i wake up.

Though this thread is pretty damn wierd now, isn't merkaba's thread in politics still open? (Rob complaining about conversation topic in the tool thread :eek: )

[Shattered_Future]

I've had those dreams, somewhat like lucid dreams, where it's like you're dreaming, but your body isn't. So, in reality, your body is somewhat doing what's happening in the dream.

It's like, if you jump in the dream, you jump in real life. However, you're jumping while laying down on a bed, so it feels really weird. :amaze:

[bwnstl]

No, unless I'm mistaken, lucid dreaming is when you control what happens in the dream, like what you do in it.

[Toaster]

On the topic of dreaming, has anyone else here experienced sleep paralysis? It's a really frightening condition where your mind is fully aware but your body refuses to function, and it occurs right after (before?) waking up.

[Magicaltroll]

That album is so solid and fresh everytime it's put on.

Didn't you need some Pig Destroyer stuff from me awhile back? I completely forgot.
Actually, I think it's you that gave me them first.

So I have you to thank for showing me this incredible album :p


I'm working ona review/interpretation thing of the album right now. I plan on adding it to Sputnik too. So I'll let you guys know when I get it done. I'm on the song Lost Cause right now in the review.

[Flynn]

On the topic of dreaming, has anyone else here experienced sleep paralysis? It's a really frightening condition where your mind is fully aware but your body refuses to function, and it occurs right after (before?) waking up.


It's called Night Terrors. When you're half asleep, and you're starting to dream, but half awake and try to move but can't. Yeah, I've had those a lot, it's the scariest thing I've ever been through.

[Darkness]

On the topic of dreaming, has anyone else here experienced sleep paralysis? It's a really frightening condition where your mind is fully aware but your body refuses to function, and it occurs right after (before?) waking up.
I have, usually right when my alarm goes off. It's pretty bad, but it only lasts a quick second.

I get them whenever I don't have a few beers before I call it a night. When I'm sober, I concentrate a lot more to get myself to sleep, and find myself half awake when I try to sleep, then start dreaming half awake, and my body freezes. I usually then see frightening images until I snap out of it 10 minutes later. It's scary.

Yes! I'll get up sometimes in the middle of the night and see something moving closer to my bed, and I'm totally freaked out but I can't move at all. It's like the dreaming state and the conscious state are mixed together or something.

Are you guys talking about when you, for instance, are fighting somebody and it feels like you have a tenth of your stength as if you are fighting in water or something, kind of the same thing with running too, you are running away and its as if you are in water but still end up ahead of the guy chasing you, thats kind of scary

No Isis or QOTSA quest apperances on the album then. Least that rumour got quashed quicker than the others

[Rounder]

It's called Night Terrors. When you're half asleep, and you're starting to dream, but half awake and try to move but can't. Yeah, I've had those a lot, it's the scariest thing I've ever been through.

It's called sleep paralysis, and its when you become concious while your body is still alseep. Your brain and body are disconnected. I used to get them really bad all the time, until I figured out if I just concentrate and force my hand or foot to move i could come out of it, after a while I just stopped getting it. In fact, it helped alot knowing what it was and that it wasn't an alien abduction cuz I used to get that sense of a presence in the room pretty bad, which is a major symptom.

I downloaded their album and I'm listening to it now. They remind me a little bit of Murder By Death, except more polished, less brooding and without the genre-hopping.

[Moses]

Okay at the part in Ticks and Leeches where the guitar just kind of fades at about 7:11 theres some growling type vocals in the backround. Can anybody make it out and what the hell is it saying?

So now we can assume they're playing every damn festival ever.

NP Passenger...

Nu-metal breakdowns ftw.

[bwnstl]

Pshhh, Deftones? Nu-metal? Pshhhh

[Moses]

The break down is.

[Darkness]

I always thought Deftones were pretty nu-metal, but I'm not the hugest fan... what would they be if they aren't nu-metal?

[Moses]

(Artistic) modern rock.

[bwnstl]

I'd say alternative metal. I've heard the term Dream Rock applied to them, and I can see where that's coming from because some of their (later) songs are very spacey. I don't know, it's hard to describe.

[Moses]

Their first album was nu-metal but it was really good too. Their second album had some modern rock songs and some new metal songs. White Pony was really expirimental and has alot of high acclaim to it. Self-Titled had some really good ideas but weren't put together as well. Whoever did the production on Digital Bath on White Pony really knows what they're doing. The drums sound PERFECT.

noooooo, please not... :upset: i HATE this ****ing festival! its the worst festivals in austria (well, its for me, cause i never liked the line-up).

hm... i hope they will play a single concert or will play at another festival. if not, i will go to novarock, but only to see tool

edit: i just checked out the page and their line-up changed a little bit... they are playing Metal :eek: subway to sally, trivium and even Opeth ... lol

IS there any news about a release date more specific than spring? (I saw that on a Lateralus picture disc that I couldn't afford. *sigh*)

[A pig in a cage on antibiotics]

Well seeing as how tool is playin loads of european festivals, does anyone think they might play the Oxegen festival in Ireland?
Is there anyone else here from Ireland, maybe we can all unite and get on a plane and go to L.A and try findin maynards house in the Arizona desert and get some of his wine and if we can't find that we'll try and position ourselves directly under the sun and try and find Adam and if we can't do that go to the lodge and see if Danny's around and.....ahhh screw it, too much effort!!!!

They'd beter come to Ireland though!! If your readin Maynard, Danny, Justin or Adam come on over, you can play at my house!!

You don't even understand, last time they were in St. Louis (which was before I was a fan of them so I didn't go) the crowd was apparently bad so they said their not coming back to St. Louis ever again. I'm biting my lip and hoping that they renege on that promise.

[Adam Jones is GOD]

"I'm guessing that the most enthusiastic Tool fans have probably heard all of the band's previously released material, but when the new record comes out in May, these people should try to constrain themselves from listening to the entire CD in one sitting. Save a couple of tracks (or, say, just track #2) for a month, or a couple of months, or for a year, or a couple of years, and then while everyone's itching for new material, YOU HAVE SOME!,. and now it's only a matter of year or so before the next release!"

Blair says something cool.

[Kurrpt]

...or you could just NOT loop the CD for 4 months straight

I honestly doubt that anyone in this thread has the will to pull that off.

[Kurrpt]

yea, that will be hard at first. at least for me, ive find other, more challenging guitar peices then AJ guitar work. Not to take anything away from the man, i just like working on technique a bit more then crazy ambient noises i cant reproduce

[BassMasterMike88]

Its gonna be impossible not to pick it up for me, Justins bass riffs and use of chords on Lateralus were orgasmic. So I'm expecting a whole buffet of great bass lines to try to learn by ear.

yea, learning by ear WOULD require that amount of attension. Maybe ill try that

Im not a big Perfect circle fan anyway. But I went from listening to 13step, Which was really good. Then I bought Emotive and thought it sucked. All the songs are cookie cutting material.

no that the album sucks of anything.. but i cant help but feeling a little cheated because of the album cover and how they promoted emotive through the music video and constatine the movie... the way they promoted the album gives people a different view of how the whole album actually sounds like

Street Spirit, The Tourist etc.
Most songs on those albums deal with a sense of alienation that can easily be compared to death.

Cool, Im surprised someone actually downloaded it. It is going on a cd, Just for transitional purposes. I have always been a big fan of Dark ambient music. The drum beat is actually me hitting an up right bass drum with drum sticks, and a 15 inch piece of sheet metal (The bass drum is looped, the Sheet metal is not) I made most of the sounds that I looped out of wierd noises(Closing a door then expanding it 500 times, Raising the pitch etc) and a abstract style recording process I learned from a friend.

I'm doing more than one so I can put it in the mailing list.

I listened to the track. The only thing I didn't like is how the Art Bell show was really long. I think if it's a transitional song it should be shorter but that's just me. I liked the ambient stuff though, that was cool.

So, Tool is playing at the coachella art and music festival on April 30th, i'm planning to go but it's a bit expensive($ 85).

Now, i know Tool is planning to release a new album this year, so: Should i wait till they make a tour by themselves and buy cheaper tickets, or should i buy the coachella ones?

I also don't know if their normal shows are for all ages.

I would get Coachella tickets, as Mogwai are also on that bill, and you should make it your duty to see them while they're in the US.

They still havent announced any UK festivals though :(

[Kage]

I'm seeing Mogwai on March 24, I believe. I'm extremely excited about that. I'll probably never see Tool.

[Futuro]

Collide featuring Danny Carey on drums.

EDIT crap I keep forgetting it is illegal. Wanna post your emails?

[Turkish]

So, Tool is playing at the coachella art and music festival on April 30th, i'm planning to go but it's a bit expensive($ 85).

Now, i know Tool is planning to release a new album this year, so: Should i wait till they make a tour by themselves and buy cheaper tickets, or should i buy the coachella ones?

I also don't know if their normal shows are for all ages.


If you're going to Coachella, I'll see you there...being as I have my tickets!!

:D

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

Toolnavy going slow for anyone else?

Anyway, over there, the newest album rumor, Aldaraia, is being shown to atleast be the closest to the real thing, if it's fake. The person who posted them, if he made them up, actually spent time researching for those titles. Plus they have other evidence to show that that track list is for real. IDK, i like to wait for blair's updates. Just to know for sure.

That is a long shot rumour im afraid. Plus with the way the lineup is going, Tool would be the one band worth seeing.

The Sunday at Reading looks a much stronger bet

I bet you 50 imaginary bucks that it's fake

[G_Mac07]

Don't know if you guys have seen this or not, because I rarely look in here anymore. I quoted the entire thing because it's from one of those sites that you have to register for before you can see anything. I haven't ever read it myself, because I don't want to have any preconceptions when I first hear the new material, so this might also be bollocks. I can't guarantee it, but I thought I'd share anyway.

The TOOL Story Marches On

From Andy King, TotalRock… New Album playback at 10, Golborne Road, London W10 - February 20th 2006... 4pm and 7.30pm

There is something delightfully Toolian about staging a series of European album press/radio playback and ‘meet-the-new-Record-Company’ dates whilst not only not revealing the name of said new album but also keeping all the track titles themselves firmly under wraps.

For your roving Tool reporter, this presents two particular difficulties – firstly it makes accurate reviewing a task almost as hazardous as Quail shooting whilst under the influence (perish the thought that anyone could even contemplate such foolishness) and secondly it prompts momentary, and forgivable, cynicism along the lines of ‘They’re ‘avin’ a larff! This is just an elaborate, fake decoy album!’. Oh ****, there I go with those hunting expressions again.

Today (and I use the word entirely accurately - as my Tool obsession squirts into me such blind courage as to prompt me to lurk, contrary to Record Company wishes, in the shadows for 90 minutes - so as to catch both the 4pm and 7.30pm playbacks) - today, the Record Company has displayed a remarkable degree of Tool-savvy by booking an unheard of pub-for-bohemians in West London’s debatably fashionable and trendy (or downright dangerous – unless, like me, you have at least two layers of hoodies on top of your baseball hat) W10 area. 10, Golbourne Road is at the foot of one of London’s once most notorious and scary tower blocks – Erno Goldfinger’s (not to mention The Clash’s) Trellick Tower – now perversely, and miraculously, transmogrified into one of the City’s most desirable residences. It sez ‘ere.

It’s a joy – in this day and age and with such a multi-million selling global mega-band (yes, it really is true, fans!) – to immediately bump into ¾ of the band casually swigging beer from bottles (or, somewhat surprisingly, Starbucks from a paper cup in Maynard’s case) and chatting amiably with the assembled mid-afternoon gathering of hacks. It’s always a joy to meet a man so much ‘his own man’ and Maynard, as usual, manages to take such an expression to dizzy new heights. As inscrutable as the bastard offspring of Chairman Mao and Wallace & Gromit’s Were Rabbit (slightly caught in the headlights of my immediate and presumptuous ‘hail fellow well met’ self-introduction) Maynard professes to ‘feeling a little jet-lagged’ and at once hops off to safer environs. Meanwhile big haired Danny and Justin look, for all the world, like a brace of goddamn hippies from the Bong Shop down the road. As has been revealed – Adam has remained in LA ‘directing the video’.

After a 30 minute delay in proceedings – caused by a tardy and self-important bunch of hacks creeping out of some rank corner of the evil EMAP Empire (they’re all Borgs, we suspect) the Anonymous Playback of The Nameless Songs commences… ‘probably nearly in their Final Running Order’, we are told. Readers will, hopefully, forgive any inaccuracies in reportage. On first listen I surmised this was an 9 track album, managing to squeeze this figure up to 10 on second hearing, whilst having confirmation from the band that it was, in fact an 11 track album. (They thought).

Queens Of The Stone Age, The Melvins, Turbonegro, Satyricon, Weezer and Hole. Hmmm... Joe Baresi’s CV might not be an immediate one to catch the attention whilst puzzling over a new Producer for a band such as our heroes. But then, Tool never have been noted for the obvious, the easier, softer way. The band dynamic IS different on this work. But it’s a challenging difference – perhaps no great surprise for a band which often borders on the recalcitrant. As might have been expected from a ‘guitar-oriented’ knob twiddler– the guitars are very much to the fore. Perhaps more so than on any work since Opiate. And there are other notables – but more of those later. What we have here with The Album With No Name (rather a good title, boys… why not go for it? Surely it’s not too late?) is yet another milestone in the journey of one of the most innovative of rock bands of the last 30 years. It’s a Rollercoaster. It’s difficult (‘Hurrah!’ I hear you yell!). It’s at points dense, frustrating and impenetrable (‘Wahaay!’). On occasion it provides the band’s most commercial work to date. At worst, it heavily borrows hooks and snippets from, mainly, the Lateralus album. At best, it’s soaring and stunning and staggering – an exercise in aural, no sensory, exploration. In short, it’s the new Tool album and it’s f@!# great…

Track 1 (7min 3sec). Mesmeric start. Hypnotic beat. Jagged, angular off beats. Familiar trancey passages punctuated by a guitar part reminiscent of an older Tool track. Tribal drum beats f@!# with a lovely melody and climax with Maynard’s vocals. I am going to cry.

Track 2 (7min 12sec) Melodic intro with almost balladic vocals from Maynard. Lighter feel (almost, dare I say it, APC-tinged) but not for long. Danny gets stronger – Baresi releases our tubthumper and the feel gets much heavier into ‘chugga chugga’ off beats. Then – here’s some unusual guitar work. Man, it’s almost Hendix-like! Then back into a heavy tribal groove. I fight off the urge to masturbate furiously.

Track 3/4 (This is either one 17 minute monster or two tracks – of 6min 20sec and 10min 26sec – only the Gods Of The Stinkfist know the answer). Whichever it is – DO NOT SMOKE THE WEED WHILST LISTENING TO IT! Starting with Buddhist temple-flavoured gong tweaking the collective nipples of Kraftwerk, a deep sphincter-rumbling bass and om chanting might recall ‘Parabol’. After 3 minutes of this nerve-wracking niceness, all Hell breaks loose with mega-heavy riffdom before slipping back into spaciness after 30 seconds. Like an epileptic convulsion in a night of deep sleep. Hawkwind does Greensleeves whilst Pink Floys look on. The Record Company people are starting to look nervous and uncomfortable as if they have seldom HEARD anything so strange and worrying. What the f@!# is this? Let me outta here! I need to go snuggle the Radio One Playlist! Suddenly it’s a crazed sea shanty for whacked-out space travelers. ‘You’re the only one who can hold your head up high. It’s my time now… my time now… give me my… give me my…’ duets Maynard with himself. Danny fights free of the evil clutches of Dr Baresi and goes off on one. Adam’s guitar recalls something off Lateralus again. It’s Triad, I think, but it’s almost impossible to identify one riff whilst another song goes on. The musical equivalent of rubbing one’s head and tummy simultaneously in different directions. They’re doing this on purpose to f@!# with our heads. Bastards! Returns to full-on rhythmic Toolishness to end. No it isn’t the end. It doesn’t end like any other song ends. Tool never ends. I’m losing it. Therap me now, please.

Track 5 (Probably. 6min 11 sec definitely). Oooooooh. This is THE one. Ya know what, pluggers? Radio might even go for this! Maynard’s vocals at the start are quite extraordinary. Place equal parts of Chris De Burgh, Tiny Tim and Bilal The Muezzin in a blender and run for your life. Easily the most commercial track to date. In fact, easily the most commercial track Tool have EVER done. That guitar is waaay strong again. Did Adam bribe Baresi? This is still twisted. It’s hard but commercial. The end spells a relief as climactic as a boil bursting. I go ‘Yessssss’ and the whole room of cool jouros looks round at me as if I’m a Bateman cartoon ‘The Man Who Ordered A Pork Sandwich In Blooms’. This is a SERIOUSLY awesome track. Just you mark my words.

Track 6 (1min). In which Maynard becomes a Native American for no good reason. Strange, but we like a bit of strangeness.

Track 7 (Maybe. Could be two medium length tracks and a terribly short one, too. I’m now losing the will to live with the stopwatch. It’s 14min 45sec of music, whatever). Guitars to the fore again. One long note with almost blues-like, overlaid note progressions. f@!# me, it’s House Of The Rising Sun cut with Ketamine. There are unsettling whispers and talking. Is this a bad trip or a psychiatry session? Come to think of it, is there a difference? ‘How Are You Today?’… ‘Tell Me Everything’ then THWACK! Into such a breathtakingly slappy, powerful riff kick that I’m actually physically winded for a nanosecond. Demonic, growling, rap noise over rhythmic heavy heavy groove. Forget the Were Rabbit jibe. This is a f@!# full-on, nasty, shaven headed WEREWOLF. A lightbulb goes mental in the room. The Record Company almost lose all cool and run for it. I damn nearly join them but now I AM crying. I am gulping back wracking sobs at the sheer Toolishness of this monstrous, magnificent track. This is the real deal. Again snippets from Lateralus. You ARE playing with us. You ARE! This is Tool’s equivalent of ‘spot the Hitchcock in the Hitchcock film’! But I don’t care. It’s like The Best Of Tool in one song. The Bomb. It ends like the violent end of a violent life. And then it ends again. Unless that’s another track, of course….

[G_Mac07]

Track 8 (6min 44sec). Odd noises. Sea shore meets ironworks. Ever see the cartoon meisterwerk ‘Spirited Away’? You MUST! In it there is a character called Kamajii The Boiler Keeper who has 6 arms and an army of small black coals. This sound is similar. Soon joined by elastic bass and drum twangling over multi-layered Maynard whisperings and chanted vox. Shades of Pink Floyd again. Shades of the more ‘moody’ Lateralus tracks again. Reflection. Disposition. Tribal and hypnotic.

Track 9 (9min 04sec. I think). Melodic, slow, hypnotic. Almost balladic. Wall of Sound build-up. Danny does some Bamboo pole-type drumming into big riffage. Big, big sound. Tool at their weightiest. It’s almost Chinese at the end. I can think of worse things to be like. Perhaps the boys have their eyes on the World’s fastest developing market?

Track 10 (OK it’s 11 but I’m f@!# if I can work out how we got here). The walk out track (their description not mine). Oddness. The Noodles of Satan.

And that’s it. First playback and Maynard bids us farewell. ‘Hope you enjoyed it. If you didn’t we could put on a little Green Day for you?’. Second playback and Justin apologises for not being The Arctic Monkeys. We smoodge and chatter. We remember that Danny is actually the World’s nicest (and tallest) man. If only I could feel as comfy in my skin as he does. That’s it – go on, compare my insides with his outsides. We rejoice in the fact that ¼ of Tool is, in fact, English. We clamber onto our pushbike past legions of hoodies whilst the Tool Carnival ups and offs to Amsterdam. f@!# knows where THAT playback will take place but I have a shrewd idea or two…

That's the rest of it, it went over the character limit.

^ I want to hear this NOW

I read something a while ago about a couple of the bands members coming here to do some promo stuff, but don't expect much. I don't anyway.

As far as i can remember some of the band are visiting melbourne and sydney in March to do promo work/talk to radio stations/tease us.

[nowitzki]

Wow, I just can't wait to hear it.
That is a long shot rumour im afraid. Plus with the way the lineup is going, Tool would be the one band worth seeing.

The Sunday at Reading looks a much stronger bet
That website is usually quite reliable, and seeing as it says "to be confirmed", that means it must be pretty certain, unless there's been a big mistake.

[Darkness]

Wow... that's awesome.

I fight off the urge to masturbate furiously.

I like the sound of that! :lol:

[Futuro]

Good job Gmac! That looks great! Oh man Im excited about this!

[Adam Jones is GOD]

Good find G man (I feel a little inferior not finding this out when it took place on my own back porch).

Lots of positives, especially the mention of guitar taking center stage more.

And if a UK mag says a song could be radio friendly, it has to be. Fair to say this has added to my already excited mood

[Shadius]

I'm excited. I'm glad to know this sounds to be progressive as ever, whilst having a great potential single-worthy track, the Stinkfist or Parabola (Schism?) of the album. Excellent, I expect nothing less.

Can't wait now.

[JamJar]

That sounds absolutely amazing... must hear new album NOW!
