and this news isn't surprising

Digging: The Red Paintings - The Revolution is Never Coming

Starting to think a new album will never happen at this rate oh well

Digging: August Burns Red - Rescue & Restore

Didn't they say like 2 months ago that the album was half way done rofl

Digging: Steely Dan - Aja

Shouldn't be surprised by this.

Disowning this band now this is fuckin' ridiculous.

Digging: Laura Marling - Once I Was An Eagle

idgaf

Digging: Louise Cyphre - Discography

Hahaha saw that coming. Guess they really don't care about making new music.

Alright I used to like Tool but now that they're pulling this shit I'm done with them

You can never believe half of the information that comes out of their camp. They have a long history
of fucking with fans that care. You're best off just moseying along and being happily surprised when
one arrives.

I figured they were playing a joke on the whole idea when the release date was announced as 12/21/12 before

oh well

Digging: King Crimson - Red

what the fuck

Digging: Squarepusher - Ufabulum

"Alright I used to like Tool but now that they're pulling this shit I'm done with them"

until the next record comes out.

Digging: Thundercat - Apocalypse

I feel as this is a joke.

Digging: Deafheaven - Sunbather

Band sucks anyway

I've never liked this band, but dear God, they really are dicks to their fanbase. I'm not even a fan and this is fucking annoying: if I were a fan then this would literally be insulting.

Digging: Deafheaven - Sunbather

lol this is great

I was really doubting this release. If writing music is such a chore for him, I'll be willing to bet this album will never come.

There's always next year guys!

I read that Carey said in an interview with Rhythm Magazine they were 7 tracks in. So this must be a joke.

"We have six or seven really good frameworks that we’re working on. We’re over half way in my opinion. The first tune is always hard to get polished off. It seems like on every record we have this big, epic thing like ‘Rosetta’, ‘Wings for Marie’ or ‘Lateralus’. That’s the one we’re focusing on now. Once we knock out that, the other songs fall into place around it. We’re right on the fringe of knocking that big one out. We’re all excited and it seems to have progressed really well."

Digging: Filter - The Sun Comes Out Tonight

oh

watch they are gonna say "NEW ALBUM GOING TO BE RELEASED" and then the release date is going to be like 3 days from now and Twitter/Lastfm/Internet will explode

Maynard Keenan you lazy bastard, get back to work or Hoyt Volker will torture you. We need something with the same level of depth, complexity and epicnees of Trick and leeches and Thrid Eye.

impossible to know with tool

they could release a double album next week or they could keep suspending the release date out weekly until the end of eternity, who knows

New Tool album in 2020... Woooo

[IGNORE THIS!]

hahaha

This article was approved with a broken link. Moderators need to get their act together.

vespa cross country trip so an album will have to wait.

Digging: Across Five Aprils - Tragedy in Progress

i feel like this is a joke [2] thx

fucking hate this bullshit

'GaynardJamesKeenan'

lmfao

news like this really brings out the best in people

That's what I get for dreaming...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Maybe the band minus the vocalist are done half the record? In the article it states that Maynard hasn't written anything, but maybe there's still a chance!

You know what? I'm actually beyond caring to hear that there isn't going to be a Tool album this year. I mean, it seems that Maynard James Keenan is worrying too much about his own side projects than anything else.

Digging: Voivod - Target Earth

I think they should just call it a day and go out on a high note.

Digging: Napalm Death - Inside the Torn Apart

somebody cares alot anymore

Digging: Daylight - Jar

LOL

Remember when this new album was supposed to come in 2012?

Meh. They can take as long as they want. 2013 is fuckin' jammed up as it is.

Digging: Letlive. - The Blackest Beautiful

more bummed about no APC than Tool

Digging: Kanye West - Yeezus

Haha, totally saw this coming! Seriously Tool, if you want us to keep worshipping you like we do, PLEASE try to put out more than one record a decade.

well, they put out two last decade and two the decade before so...

Honestly, don't believe anything that comes out of Maynard's mouth regarding a new album. He's a known jokester.

what the actual fuck

Supposedly, the rest of the band said that the album was about halfway done late 2012. I guess the other half will take another six years, so...Tool 2018.

Maynard has so many other projects and hobbies that this really didn't surprise me. It disappointed me, but didn't surprise me.

fucking lol

Digging: Children of Bodom - Halo of Blood

yeah what paxman said

EVERYONE this is an interview with Danny Carey
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2t1lt99CWnA skip to 3:00 or so and he talks about them recording their new album, and this video's almost a year old. Maynard's just fuckin around, as usual.

Maynard probably said this out of spite towards the question. He likes to be a dick all the time.

I've never liked this band, but dear God, they really are dicks to their fanbase. I'm not even a fan and this is fucking annoying: if I were a fan then this would literally be insulting.

Shocker

Digging: Kanye West - Yeezus

Oh for fuck sake just disband already, put people out of their misery.

I'm listening to Aenima now, I still love Tool but I don't give two shits about Maynard's antics and I really don't care about a new album, they've got four great albums and I'm happy enough with that.

NEW TOOL ALBUM 2012

Digging: Saaad - Raincoats

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Tool should just disband at this point.

some gullible garys itt

maynard is just drunk. dont listen to him ever.

Digging: Bill Evans - Waltz for Debby

what a tool

Digging: Strictly Ballroom - Hide Here Forever

Pucifer is trash .

I used to love, Tool. Fuck em now.

Digging: Deafheaven - Sunbather

inb4 it takes them 10,000 days to release anything new

http://grungereport.net/?p=20612

"In the February 2013 issue of Rhythm Magazine, Tool drummer Danny Carey discussed progress on the band’s new album, “We have six or seven really good frameworks that we’re working on. We’re over half way in my opinion. The first tune is always hard to get polished off. It seems like on every record we have this big, epic thing like ‘Rosetta’, ‘Wings for Marie’ or ‘Lateralus’. That’s the one we’re focusing on now. Once we knock out that, the other songs fall into place around it. We’re right on the fringe of knocking that big one out. We’re all excited and it seems to have progressed really well.” Danny also mentioned that Maynard isn’t working with the band yet, which means they’re still working on just the music."

^ So Maynard just hasnt added the vocals yet. They usually do that last. Get the tubes out your bloody holes.

you took forever! I hate you!

They haven't released any new music cause they know they have probably got shit material that would get panned if they ever released it.

"You can never believe half of the information that comes out of their camp. They have a long history

Fucking ay omnipanzer.

Yeah Maynard doesn't write the songs ya dunkers

I don't believe this yet, not until I hear it from the horse's mouth. Not from some Hispanic middle man

"... I have not written any songs. So no, there is nothing", said Keenan."

I forgot he was the only member in the band

He's just fucking with everybody. Album this year or not, there's no way its been almost 7 years and there isn't a single new song written.

I think they should just call it a day and go out on a high note.

They have a contract set for five albums. After this next one, they'll quit.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I'm assuming by saying he hasn't "written any songs," he meant "any more material lately," not new content in general. Wiki says that last March they'd had enough stuff for five songs, so this new quote must be lacking context or something.

Still not surprising though.

Digging: Ruin Lust - Ruin Lust

they'll do what they'll do. If this news ruined your life then just kill yourself.

I'm taking him saying "I have not written any songs" as that he himself hasn't written any songs. The rest of the band has, but he himself hasn't written any lyrics or anything.

I have to wait ANOTHER YEAR? What does Tool do in their freetime?

Digging: Rush - Clockwork Angels

this thread is hilarious, never believe Maynard when it comes to stuff like this

definitely remember reading something about the Tool album being underway a while back

who cares...

Digging: Kylesa - Ultraviolet

not really that good of a band

i hope nobody is sitting on the edge of their seat in anticipation, and if you are you're a huge faggot. and that has nothing to do with being a Tool fan. live your lives, pussies

Digging: Adrift - Monolito

long hair dont care

YES! NO NEW TOOL!!!!

Digging: Children of Bodom - Halo of Blood

This is probably good news...
...however, I still think there's a good chance it'll come out (Maynard is probs trolling)

Digging: The Dillinger Escape Plan - One of Us Is the Killer

This is really disappointing...

Danny Carey said that the new album would be completed by the end of 2012. Now Maynard says nothing has been written. He hasn't written any songs. Hope he really is trolling. I'm a huge Tool fan, this album better be pretty darn good when it's released, whether it's this year or next. Hopefully not a 9-10 year wait.

rip

I used to care, now I don't give a shit. I'll just listen to the new M.T.VOID album when it comes out this year instead. Fuck Maynard, the little creep.

Agreed base.

Digging: Ulver - Bergtatt

...sure bra.

Couldn't give a fuck really

i give some fuck, just not as much as my younger self.

Didn't they say that they were halfway done with the album or something? Now they haven't written anything..

Digging: Blackfield - Blackfield

Maynard meant that he hasn't wrote lyrics for the album yet.

It could be instrumentally done.

only tool can release a statement about not doing an album and it making sputnik news, if ANY other band said that it wouldn't be news ugh

Spec will not be releasing any music this year.

Digging: The Black Dahlia Murder - Everblack

It's hilarious how fucking enraged all you people are... "Maynard is such a dick! Albums NEVER coming out! Omg Fuck this band!" ...It's annoyingly ironic. They are people too, and unfortunately they have a lot more going on with their lives than any of you do=/

Maynard has tricked us before... i just dont give a shit about what they say anymore... when the album comes, then i'll listen to it. until then, i dont care about maynard's schemes. However, i guess they lost the timing and sincerely i think that the album will probably suck. Metal has changed a lot since 10000 days and it's hard for me to believe they will still pull out something original

everyone seems to have forgotten about the April Fools incident....

double post, my bad.

What incident

and it's not april fools

something to do with maynard saying they wouldn't release an album cause he found god lol

Yup, leading up to the release of 10,000 Days. The ensuing panic from fanboys was hilarious.

lol guys remember when there was a news article with this kind of title in 2011

Digging: Renaissance - Ashes are Burning

New Tool album: Half Life 3

Why are people surprised? Tool, or most likely Maynard, are complete snobbish asses when it comes to dealing with their fanbase. They make great music but if it wasn't for Chancellor I'd have stopped listening to them on principle a long time ago.

They are people too, and unfortunately they have a lot more going on with their lives than any of you do=/

haha Tool those tricksters.

New album probably comes out next week

Shit. Might as well kill myself now

Digging: Letlive. - Fake History

"only tool can release a statement about not doing an album and it making sputnik news, if ANY other
band said that it wouldn't be news ugh"

MO bringing the trooff.

If Danny or Justin had said this, maybe I would be a little bit thrown off.

But c'mon this is Maynard we are dealing with. Dude is certifiable loony-toons. I've heard so much other stuff from other, less
insane members that leads me to believe that this is a load of shazbot.

just remembered that they haven't been good since 2001 lol

^is that when your musical taste took a nosedive?

yea age seven was my peak

band i don't like doesn't do something

cool

Digging: Incendiary - Cost of Living

Tool fans are the best in the world!!!!!

shut your face

what y?

Hope this is a joke to avoid the album getting leaked (just like they did with 10,000 Days while releasing a false tracklist).

People are still gonna be searching

"Tool album 2013 torrent" into Google on a daily basis anyways.

_|_

"I've never liked this band, but dear God, they really are dicks to their fanbase. I'm not even a fan and this is fucking annoying: if I were a fan then this would literally be insulting."

My feelings exactly. I don't have any idea what people find so great about this band, but they do have a loyal fanbase.... that they apparently don't give a shit about. Cool guys.

Digging: August Burns Red - Rescue & Restore

well that's a slap on the balls

Digging: Bomb the Music Industry! - Goodbye Cool World!

Give it another 15 years and maybe we'll see something

Digging: Lamb of God - Resolution

Is anyone actually honestly surprised?

Why would I have to be? Keenan is probably trolling or just too lazy to make another album.

A lot of Tool fans say that Maynard is this genius musician and songwriter but he's not even working
with the band on their music?

You can't really take anything that Maynard says about Tool seriously anymore, we'll just have to wait and see. The album
might be released next week for all we know.

crap, somebody made the Tool album = Half Life 3 thing before I could

reverse psychology.

I'd rather have a new APC album than a new Tool album.

Maynard is going to make at least one of his fans vomit with anger before he drops the album (Which has probably been finished for years for all we know).

good, fuck him, he's losing his voice anyways, all about the other 3 at this point OHHH DID I JUST GO THERE!!!@WERGFAERGJNIPQW#$JTP@

all about Aenima

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffair enough.

everybody wants another aenima

naw i'm happy with 1

aenima of the soul
