Random Tool Social Media thread

Interesting point, because it has always thrown me that the 10k Days graphic is not symmetrical.

I can’t remember where I read it but I saw Adam is Into chirality where things are mirrored but not quite symmetrical so who knows

[xZ1mM3r]

Seems legit to me. If not it's a great effort at a fake

[Tool_User]

So they spent all that time perfecting what could be their last album, all the hurdles and stress and blood and sweat. Then decided to name it chod... Fuck off!

[Tool_User]

Like the pic though.

[rshforgothispw]

I hope it’s called chod

Well the bands name is Tool.

The lead singer has other releases named V Is For Vagina, Money Shot, Aenima, ...

[gamebounty]

I don't like that album name or the font, but the artwork is wicked. I hope Tool deliver something at least as trippy.

@Tool User - Danny is the man and he is a decent dude doesn’t treat fans like shit. Let Danny do the talking just provide him with accurate dates.

As for this Tool logo fake Chod? Lolz god I hope that is fake. That would be one of the worst album titles of all time.

Tool puts this shit on themselves if they acted like a normal fucking band and announced the fucking album name when they announced the release date like every other normal fucking band this kind of bullshit wouldn’t happen.

Fucking Tool pisses me the fuck off

[limeygringo]

On one hand: Where the fuck is CCTrip?

On the other: There is a black square on their Instagram

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[ms2r]

Black Square? Black Mirror connection!

If it were left up to maynard to name the album then fair enough but I'm not buying it. No way would Adam let them name his most highly anticipated work 'chod'

It's probably tool releasing these fake album details as some kind of misinformation drive

Well I'll be seeing them in a week I might stand near the front screaming chod and see if I get a reaction.

good one! did you see that new nin shirt ? dont sell out or anything,Trent. Pass on all that including the square.

if CHOD is pronounced like FRAUD,it doesnt sound as bad.(how ironic!) if its pronounced the other
way it sounds stupid. whatever.

i do like that Tool logo. Even if its fan made i think its cool looking and suits them well. better
then that circle jerk 10k thing ive been looking at for the past 13 fn years! bahah

Kittaan says ''Somebody had to do it. I just hope there are multiple versions/variations on a theme coming between now and 8/30. Exciting times.''

Sounds like you already knew about this. O o
Some of that is b.s for sure. the power of fear/graveyards. wth is that crap!

can anybody be straight up anymore ?

There ya go! thats the theme of Chod!

dude! totally man! just say around you ''i hear the new album is called Chod and start going nuts with it! people will participate, guaranteed!

if they start wondering what the heck is going on it looks good on them. its a two way street!

do it!

[ziggy23]

Don't kill the messenger, but here it goes... I can't reveal my source and won't say anything else aside from this initial post. This truly is their best, most conceptual and comprehensive album ever. It builds on the spiritual underpinnings of Lateralus, reaches the beautiful peaks of 10k Days, and hits as heavy as anything off of Opiate/Undertow/or Aenima.


**The new album is called Chod.**

​

In typical tool fashion, these four little letters carry a ton of weight (and humor). As we know, a Chode is another name for a dick. It's also one letter off from Chad, which is sort of a sarcastic commentary on the modern "Chad," or douche bro. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, *"Chod is an ancient Tibetan practice known as "Cutting Through the Ego." Based on the Perfection of Wisdom sutras, which expound the "emptiness concept of Buddhist philosophy. Emptiness is the ultimate wisdom of understanding that all things lack inherent existence. Chöd combines philosophy with specific meditation methods and tantric ritual. The chod practitioner seeks to tap the power of fear through activities such as rituals set in graveyards, and visualisation of offering their bodies in a tantric feast in order to put their understanding of emptiness to the ultimate test."*

​

As far as packaging, it's hard to describe. Best I could explain is that it unfolds into a three dimensional "temple" of sorts. It's illuminated internally, so it has a small battery. The "temple" pop-up thingy itself is sort of gothic, but entirely psychedelic, and almost cybernetic in a way. It's hard to describe. It's like they created this "entity." Its almost more like a portal when viewed in the dark. I have NO idea how they pulled this off, but I suspect the current tour is geared to recouping some of the costs.

​

There will be multiple tiered versions of this release, with the most ambitious described above.

Quality shitpost

i think some of it seems true. the pop up book thing i said a few days ago when i heard about some button that makes it open up. hearing about batteries before/the light and this temple deal. makes sense.

the tiers of which one you want to buy also makes sense. some fans will buy them all and you know they know that = $$$$. the colours would be diff on each version more then likely.

the artwork could be an unfinished version of the cover.

and then this CHODE person that commented..is that BLAIR ?
i like what they said but this is becoming a giant cluster f#%k !

exciting times!

[tys0n]

The funny thing with Tool is they have never over promised and under delivered, they've released exactly what they said they would, it's the fans with all these bullshit expectations that leads to disappointment and calls of decoy albums and such.

Curb your expectations.

Knock “chod” all you want, but what did y’all say when the title “10,000 Days” was leaked?

I was hoping the title would be Secks Tool

thats so true! i was one of them saying 'no way its going to call be called 10,000 days. dooh!

Tyson has a point for sure. at times i get stoked and think about it but you gotta put it to rest too. i will. atm though i was getting excited by this.

[limeygringo]

Black Square? Black Mirror connection!

Someone was saying the album cover might be released in 9 pieces on Instagram. That part checks out..so far

[Tool_User]

10,000 days is a cool name. Chod is something you use as an insult. Tyson is a chod.

[snazzl3frass]

I think of it as a compliment, really.
