I’m not exactly sure who you think I’m arguing with but thanks for making me feel welcome here on my very first post. Cheers, mate!

I hope you don't vote conservative, listen to experimental music or take a logical/sensible approach to social issues instead of kowtowing to liberal progressive propaganda.

Otherwise yr in for a rough time..
Sounds like the type of warning a conservative person would give. Neat!

Do you live in Mongolia or something? The whole "I don't know where they sell CD's" argument is really lame, like using Google search or online stores is a hard thing to do.
Joop, I agree with you. Since HMV closed down (UK) I don’t know off the top of my head where I would go in person to buy a CD anymore. I have had to search out some very small record shops in my local area, a number of which mainly sell vinyl and CDs are an afterthought. Record stores (for CD at least) are a dying breed.

Why a listening party a day before the release? Why oh my God why? Why is Adam confirming that the logo is theirs? Why?

I miss Mog for canalyzing my disbelief.

Tool finally initiates some PR and utterly fails. Fucking hell! Couldn't these guys not have been a joke for once??

Also, doesn't Adam know that cotemporary Gibson is one of the worst and most hated guitar oompanies? There's a reason the guitars he uses are 35+ years old.

I have a 2012 Les Paul Traditional and i love it, more than my Strat. It’s true that Gibson made some mistakes the past couple of years and their late 80s and 90s LPs were pretty awful but is seems they got their shit together.

I don't think they have their shit together yet while they are trying to sue other guitar makers and trademark guitar shapes like the flying v. Stupid greedy cunts.

I do wish we'd have gotten a pattern to follow i.e a simple countdown. But, AFAIK, they have only uploaded Opiate, Undertow and Aenima to social media. The fans came up with a solid theory, but that's just our collective guess of what their intent is. Let's just see what happens next..

The "Not officially official" in that post of Adam seams like a total Troll job! Knowing that everyone is waiting for the Lateralus post on their "Official" social media accounts and posting that.

He said that himself in an interview somewhere.

I have a early 90s Gibson and love it, best tone selection of any guitar I've ever had. But I'm sure it doesn't hold water to 60s Les Paul.

I am referring to the recent changes the company initiated when they brought the relevant CEO in 2017 (or so); the guy who decided Gibson needed to be a lifestyle brand and caused the quality of their guitars to plummet, while the prices go up. Chances are we are getting an Adam Jones artist model or something, but whose to say it won't suck or that it won't cost $3,499?

Edit: This guy is sort of grating, but this video has some good information in it. I also heard Bill Keliher of Mastodon talk about it somewhere. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3MgqYvKzPc)

In 2018 and 2019 they got rid of that awful automatic tuner and all PCBs, from what i heard people were happy with the 2018/19 lineup.
It’s the most iconic guitar brand with the most iconic guitar design(Les Paul of course), it’s a shame that money hungry executives ruined everything, i hope they bounce back.

Edit: where the hell is the Lateralus post? Did they trill us??!!

I reckon this Adam pic will be in the album sleeve/liner notes etc.



A black and white or grey scale with accentuated or highlighted gold parts to match the new logo design:



Each band member might have their own pic included, with each having a different object or part highlighted in gold. Similar to how they set out the album sleeve pics for 10,000 days.

Just my two cents.

I reckon that pic of Adam is a bit too vanilla for the album art, but we'll see I suppose. Would not but surprised if Travis Shinn does the promotional photos again though.

Oh, and I'll add that a Gibson Custom is at a quite different level to the stuff you buy in mom and pops music emporium.

Hellboy didn’t you say some sort of single would come end of week? What’s your thoughts on the fake countdown troll?
