what issue is that GW?

How did it take tool close to 5 years to make another album?

If this album isn't the pinnacle of music I think every tool fan is going to be and should be dissapointed.

they are busy with other projects. Obviously they havent been working on the album for 5 years. Be serious.

It didn't take five years. They took a long break and it only actually took just over a year to make. It still has to be amazing though to redeem for Tool fans having to wait five years.

if you look at the release dates for all their albums, this is definitely not something new (referring to the wait)

Jones is on the cover and I believe the issue should be on sale in stores on April 11th...i believe that's what I saw on their site. I'm guessing only GW subscribers have access to this issue as of now.

very good :thumb:


tbh, my "love" of adam jones is going down hill at a ridiculous speed. I still respect him for his ridiculous ambient sounding effects, but that trick starts getting old for me after a while

[QUOTE=Dr. Jake Destructo]Man, Jones sounds like a real jackass at some points in the article.

"That's what Tool is. Tool is MY band. I asked Maynard to play with me, so Tool is MY band."

:rolleyes:[/QUOTE]

Obviously, he was being sarcastic.

Yeah, he dosn't actually think that. No way. Maynard has been consistant with his "I am only 1/4 of this project" thing, and all the other band members feel the same.

Come on Jake, I thought you knew Tool by now :p

Ill go out and get the magazine when its out, for both the interview, and the fact I havent bought a magazine for years

The article was a good read, and it definately got my interest up for the album..

It's cool how down to earth Adam is at times, but the guy still sticks to his guns....and he cries easily...now, I don't know how to take that...maybe he's Emo..? j/k But the guy has a passion for his music..

I like how he shed some light on the song, "The Pot" with the phrase, "The Pot calling the kettle black."

so they are the kettle

Could you post the article up on the net for me please? Either a scan.. or transcription would be cool, scan obviously being easier for you. I'm sure tons of people would love to see it.

dude, go back like a page or 2. The link is still active

Good article, i noticed the phrase "the pot calling the kettle black" too.

I can. I just have to wait till I get home...I'm surfing the net here at work at the moment.. :thumb:

It's ok! I found a link! Nice article.

That article has got me even more anxious for this new album.

Look for the new single to leak out in about a week or so.

someone needs to post that link when its available :thumb:

It will probably be posted on toolband.com like Schism was those many years ago; if not yes a link to it should be posted...

Looking on TDN someone says it is due to ship soonish, which means it will leak soonish. THE WHOLE ALBUM. People on TDN are buying it too, which is kinda rare, they're normally pessimistic fools.

I've not heard much more about this streaming the single online before the release anytime soon, that would be a good thing to do. Im still in the minority though hoping it wont leak, giving me confidence that there is a way to prevent it falling out of the artist's control

I'm hoping that it won't leak either, but I think that it is inevitable. Almost everything gets leaked these days, which is unfortunate. Either way, it won't affect me as I refuse to download leaks.

well, arent you the self-righteous fighter for music rights...


i bet you OWN all the music you have too :lol:

Of course I don't. I didn't mean to come across as a smug **** either.

I will download an album freely if it's already been released, but if it's something I've been anticipating for a while, I will generally be in the local CD store the morning of it's release.

yea, i was just talking smack bro.


It just gets to me how people act so ABOVE everyone else, stating that they wont download leaks, yet own countless albums they didnt pay for.


Im just not sure where you draw the line. Dont get me wrong, im buying this CD the day of as well :thumb:

No hard feelings. :)

Like I said above, I don't mean to come across as thinking I'm "above" anybody. But if an album has been released for a while, I feel like I can download, sample, and the pick up the CD at a later date if I enjoy it. If I'm keen enough for an album to be considering downloading it before it's actually been released, shouldn't I also be keen enough to fork out $30~ for it on the actual release date? And if I'm going to do that, why would I download it first? That only lessens the great feeling you get from having purchased an album only hours after it's been available on shelves.

thats totally cool man...


i just get offended when others try to ruin it for everyone is all.

I too hope it doesn't leak... Mostly because I'm curious to see if it's possible for such an anticipated album not to leak.. If anyone should be able to keep their album from leaking, it should be Tool...

I doubt they'll be unable to keep it from leaking though.. And I'll download it as soon as I find it
