On August 30th you will have to pay for access to an exclusive Tool app that will coordinate your national scavenger hunt. One pieces are found, every one must work together to paste the pieces together in the correct manner (and trust me, they do fit). The first country to assemble the album will receive bonus studio demos, videos, and misc live recordings from the last 3 years. Once your country has completed the album, it will become available for download. Physical releases will arrive on store shelves Spring 2020.

He didn't, because this is horseshit.

Not that any of us are buying into this just yet, but what makes you so convinced it's horseshit?

That's the only part that sounds legit to me bearing in mind Adam has added a new guitar part to one of the tracks. Still think it's bollox though.

You know I was thinking about this the other day. I know it's been mentioned already but it still boggles my mind. When they release their physical copies of the album on CD I have absolutely no hardware to play it on. lol I do have Vinyl so obviously i would pick that up but a CD is useless to me. It would probably just sit in the packaging shrink wrapped forever. My car doesn't even have a CD player.

Yah, my car has usb or bluetooth connection for music. How will Tool solve this?

USB in keychain!

2013? In 2011 they had an epic geometic thing going on for a few mins on its own but I can't remember if it was part of a song intro or not. Something like that would be way better than a countdown timer and that fist holding a flame.
Also re the 'its not about you' thing - Adam comes across in the VIP stuff as a stupidly nice dude. Pensive. It felt like he sincerely was stoked to be around a small group of ppl taking about as much as he could on whatever was being asked, not skirting around the edges. I think maybe it could've been a done a little better by letting ppl pre-submit questions or something with a little more structure, cause otherwise the breaks they take to answer questions between the instrumentals are at the mercy of whoever gets picked out of many raised hands.

Call me crazy but I could've sworn that Justin played new bass parts in the Berlin video of Invincible.

Or maybe it was Descending.

Fuck, I'm getting old.

I remember this question. I think the question wasn't very clear and/or it was misinterpreted.

Adam answered the question by defending the existence an intermission. Whereas I think the person asking the question was more interested in how the intermission was presented.

Oh right I thought he got defensive because the fan was implying the way they do it kind of killed the mood but I have got a bad memory so I'm probably wrong.

Fuck Adam I don't care how the question was asked. First off if you are paying 500 bucks for a fucking VIP experience you can ask whatever goddamn question you want. Secondly the live show is ENTIRELY about the fans. Tool wouldn't tour dive bars for chump change they are making crazy money. Typical Adam bullshit.

See a normal person would have answered the question in a normal way. Maybe explaining they needed a break or Maynard needed a break for his voice or an equipment change, etc. Maybe explain what kinds of changes go into the visual side or if they have things they need to adjust or tweak. Provide an actual answer rather than just it isn't about you.

Adam and Maynard both live in these dream worlds where they think the millions and millions they have made have absolutely nothing to do with fans at all. I guess it is easy to forget the early days in those dive bars where fans go to every show and bring their friends and buy copies of cds for other friends and spread word of mouth. You know all the shit that gets a band off and running. Or the fans that have put up with their bullshit excuses for delays that have largely been about having a poor work ethic and living off greatest hits tours until they finally got around to actually getting something done when they felt like it.

Adam and Maynard just need to keep their mouth shut and let Danny do all the talking for the band. Danny might be a little too optimistic at times but he actually knows how to communicate with people and he genuinely treats fans with respect. He is not going to kiss anyones ass but he doesn't seem as delusional as the rest.
