I'm gonna cry if there's no new Tool news soon...

I should get some more Sigur Ros. I've heard a pair of tracks from [I]()[/I], and I have Takk on my mp3 player, but I ought to hear[I] ()[/I] in its entirety.

I only have Takk on my mp3 player because I got it from my cousin's computer, and rather than burn it to a cd, rip it to my computer, then sync it with my player, I just put it in my player. Does anyone know how to get it from my player to my computer hard drive? Would it work if I put the album in a ZIP file, then transfered it?

Cool dredg shirt too. :)

The albums coming out in the spring. Most likely April or May.

There's alot of reputation to live up to after Lateralus, i hope to God they don't pull a St. Anger. I really can't wait to see what amazing bass work Justin has for us.

Hehe, I can't really see how they could possible pull a st anger.. That'd recquire them to release 4 really bad cd's and then an even worse one

Tool to headline reading...

WHAT!

Soooooooooo happy :):):)

We've pretty much established that the new album will be out relatively soon, but not as soon as we all thought, maybe March, May?

^ What happened to April?

Im actually pretty annoyed at that. Happy that they're coming to do the festivals here, but I know one they belong at a lot more than that NME suck-up fest


(im not bitter against it or anything lol)

I hate England. Down with the Motherland!

They should be playing download instead. However i can't make download so this suits me fine. Add it to the fact i spent 20mins yesterday trying to get arctic monkeys tickets only to be owned by the website...I think i'll have a good weekend :)

Muse and franz will be OK, lots of other band have potential to play...

Panic! at the disco
Fall out boy
taking back sunday

Yeah i know it's a pile of 'emo' but that's what i listen to these days. It would be cool to have a sigur ros/dredg performance too.

I hope dredg will do a festival tour round europe, they could use the publicity

tool's definitely playing coachella. it's been released on the coachella page.

coachella's indie-centric too. people on the forums for coachella are bitching about them being there.

Man, I haven't heard that much bitching since the day Bush took office again..

And I find it funny how others are complaining that Tool sucks, and that Cold Play rocks major ***..

"You know how I know you're gay? You listen to Cold Play.."
~40 Year Old Virgin

yeah man. it's ridiculous how many people came out to complain about it.

Have you guys ever heard of Tool doing a Pink floyd song? My friend told me about it today.

I haven't, but aren't Tool fans of them?

[QUOTE=Dunkelheit509]I haven't, but aren't Tool fans of them?[/QUOTE]
I guess, Not sure though, I would be intrested in hearing it for sure though.

[QUOTE=Med57]Admittedly I've just cited myself as a source, but I got it from the LA times, which is reporting that Tool are playing there. So any Californians who can get there, you may want to be by your computer this weekend when tickets go on sale. It is their first gig since the end of the Lateralus tour, isn't it? I'm surprised that Tool are playing Reading rather than Download...Reading's become more of an indie-focused thing in the last few years, and Download would be the more obvious choice. Maybe it's because more people go to Reading...[/QUOTE]

I'm interested in hearing bootlegs from the show, hopefully new material's going to be in the set.

That's as far as me listening to bootlegs of new material will go, that is unless the album's already in my possession at that time.

I would be utterly shocked if Tool weren't fans of Pink Floyd.

[QUOTE=Dried Muffin Remnants]I would be utterly shocked if Tool weren't fans of Pink Floyd.[/QUOTE]

I actually see Tool as the new generation Pink Floyd. Both bands ahve alot in common.

There was a mass rumor that Tool covered Comfortably Numb, but it was a fallacy, so I cried. :upset: We all should know that Tool are fans of PF because an excerpt of the intro from Shine on you Crazy Diamond is played by Adam during The Grudge.

Nah Radiohead is more of a neo-Pink Floyd than Tool.

Both in terms of sound and record sales

I'd say that Porcupine Tree sounds the most like Pink Floyd. Most PF is easy to listen to, as is PT, and both bands have a large range of song structures. They both can/could write great pop songs to please the masses, but they can also bust out with an 15 minute+ soundscape of pure joy and sex appeal. :p Granted, PT will never have the popularity that Floyd did, but still, they sound a lot alike to me.

Aside from a couple instances, I don't think Pink Floyd and Porcupine Tree sound anything alike.

Agreed, although old PT sounded a lot more like Floyd.

However aside from not sounding alike, all the features he mentioned are true.

Plus the fact that Maynard has stated he wants Tool to be remembered and revered the way Floyd is.

Adam also plays Rush's A Passage To Bankok for an opening riff.

[QUOTE=One Groovin Clown]I actually see Tool as the new generation Pink Floyd. Both bands ahve alot in common.[/QUOTE]

I see Tool as an evolution of the style and atitude of Pink Floyd and musically of Rush and prolly zeppelin.

Right, I forgot to mention that I agreed with all the points he made aside from the sound comparisons.

[QUOTE]Adam also plays Rush's A Passage To Bankok for an opening riff.[/QUOTE] Really? What song?
