Kabir has posted on Toolshed that “A reliable source confirms that the title is ‘10,000 Days'”. For those who don’t know, Kabir is a friend of Maynard, and is usually very reliable. I know there’ll be plenty of doubters still, but as I’ve said before, I like it.
The songs names I’m not so convinced with. I’ve heard it suggested that these are working titles, and possibly not the real thing. Makes sense to me, but given the album name, I’d suggest there will be a song called “Ten Thousand Days”.
Finally, mattw on Toolnavy posted a response from the Sydney Superdome regarding Tool’s booking:

That’s better than a No, and if you read into it, suggests that they’re not allowed to announce it……Think what you will
IF the suggested OZ dates stick, where the fudge would Tool perform in Melbourne? Isn’t there someone already booked at Rod Laver Arena for the proposed night (August 12th)? Vodafone Arena would be the second largest but I haven’t seen anything other than dance parties there. That would leave Festival Hall and The Palace – both of which don’t really pull of big stage productions well. My concern, while rather selfish, is that this would be the first time I would see Tool and I just don’t want to miss out. Having it at Rod Laver would at least mean… Read more »
What about the Myer Music Bowl?
Outdoors…could work. Although security would be an issue since fencing has been easily climbed over/toppled/torn out in the past. For that reason Tool might not want to perform there.
Just found out what IS at Rod Laver on the 12th:
“The Boy From Oz” with Hugh Jackman. The show will be there for at least the 11th – 13th of August.
Yeah I saw that as well. There’s definitely s few big doubts about those tour dates, but hopefully there some shred of true to them.
If that is true, that Kabir heard from a source that confirms it. why doesn’t he change the “new album” section to 10,000 Days on tdn? I still think he would be in on it. It doesn’t matter though, we’ll find out the truth eventually.
also, i was thinking about this as soon as I read Lost Keys, and went to February newsletter. it said something about L.K being changed to something with an “M.” he mentions that title of what we think it is changed and he thought what he saw before was just a temporary joke title. But if you count the stars he uses to block out the letters(and I’m pretty sure he does it accurately cuz he used 4 stars for another), it’s just as much as “Lost Keys” put together. And that maybe that was the joke title? Which would… Read more »
Ok… but if it’s going to the printers (as mentioned in an earlier news post by Blair), then the song titles are no longer ‘working titles.’ They would have to be complete if they’re printing up the CD booklets and all, wouldn’t they?
true but we’re not sure when that interview was actually done (before or after it supposedly went to print), and would TOOL say actual titles though before any of them have been announced?
Kabir also confirmed that Maynard found Jesus
I’m sure the interview was probably done several weeks ago while the guys were in London. The tracklisting may not have been finalised then, and they probably thought it would be a good laugh to post some work-in-progress titles.
the fact that he went to the trouble of making that ugly ass picture on his home page leads me to think this name is lies!
Photoshop filters are always used in scams, and kabir spared no filter in that one 😉
