Looking at that list of bands I have to wonder what they think of a band that has not released its 5th album (technically kind of 4th) in a 10 yr time frame.
Does anyone here like the band Floater by the way?
I’d be surprised of any of those bands have given it much thought. The only ones that do seem to be the ones that complain ceaselessly on Fourtheye!
Only replying one time, but I completely disagree. There’s no possible way their peers in any conceivable realm have any respect at all for them.
So you think Les Claypool sits down and thinks “man Tool haven’t released an album in 10 years – what dicks!”?
Pretty much. Also pathetic. All of them.
Cool story bro. I think you should stick to your promise of only replying once.
Not a reply, an answer to your question.
God you are such a little bitch Hellboi.
Why the fuck do you think you have to reply to negative comments?
You think you are part of the band or something?
Negative comments require a contrarian response from you ?
ALL THROUGH EVERY FUCKING THREAD?
How about you focus on just reporting the news and cut the endless, “I shall respond on behalf of Tool/Blair and be contrarian because I hope Blair will keep responding to my emails” CRAP.
Nice try Maynerd.
I got my tickets this morning. Im actually excited but sadly. tools got nothing to do with my excitement. Baroness, Slayer, Primus, and Messuggah?? all on one day. thats amazing.
tool is the stale, dated, tired cherry on top.
looking forward to slayer reminding the kids how its done.
cut hellboi some slack. its not his fault the band is lazy. he runs a fansite for an inoperable band.
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!….. Heh… HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! OH….. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! Pfffft……. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This guy…. MAN!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!! 🙂 jadrianX2… a person of the same age, status, or ability as another specified person. Les would be in there for age, status and ability but the rest of the bill…. Those guys are all lucky to be at the same festival as TOOL. I’m sure they look on with admiration more than anything.

Wasn’t it said in a newsletter that Tool were not going to do another live show until they have some new material released?
I think that was 2, maybe 3 years ago… ?
Huge floater fan here. Someone on Toolarmy turned me on to them about 7-8 years ago. Even have a shirt.

Most of those bands shouldn’t have bothered making any albums in the last 10 years.
Tool is ahead of the game by not fucking up their record yet.
So much this. So much lol to the person above stating the other acts will have 0 respect for Tool. Members of meshuggah/primus/korn(haha) have all expressed otherwise and that’s just my memory.
I mean. Korn. XD …. XD if they played nothing after follow the leader the 14 year old in me might get excited to watch them 😛
Admiration for them as a band, and that was quite a while ago. It’s possible other bands admire them being supported by their fans to watch Maynard stomp his foot to Lateralus YET AGAIN while getting away with releasing no new material in 10 years, but I doubt it. I seriously doubt Kerry Kings going “Yeah Tool, there you go, that’s the way you do it”
Don’t forget, their own singer doesn’t understand or respect it.
I thought that was more an allusion to the fact that Primus went 12+ years without a new album.
But yeah at that point… that was an extremely underwhelming release.
1988 Blind Illusion – The Sane Asylum 1988 Primus – Sausage (demo) 1988 Primus – Sucking Songs (demo) 1989 Nov Primus – Suck on This (live album) 1990 Feb Primus – Frizzle Fry 1991 May Primus – Sailing the Seas of Cheese 1992 Mar Primus – Miscellaneous Debris (EP) 1993 Apr Primus – Pork Soda 1994 Apr Sausage – Riddles Are Abound Tonight (1988 Primus line-up reunion) 1995 May Primus – Tales from the Punchbowl 1996 Aug Les Claypool and the Holy Mackerel – Highball with the Devil 1997 Jul Primus – Brown Album 1998 Aug Primus – Rhinoplasty (EP)… Read more »
So you’re saying we can include all the APC and Puscifer releases as Tool ones?
No. They’re from the productive member of the band, the one who’s frustrated with the others for holding the record up.
How that works is that Les Claypool is the primary creator in those other bands. In the world he operates in, I don’t think it makes a lot of difference what he titles a project.
If you like and can tolerate Korn in spite of themselves, (I can, at times), they’ve released material that’s easily as good as their early stuff. At least they’ve released SOMETHING, and its all varied and at least interesting.
“If you like and can tolerate Korn…they’ve released material that’s easily as good as their early stuff”
At least we now know that we can discard your opinions on the junk pile.
Someone else brought up Korn. Go after them.
Regardless of what each band thinks of each other, I’ll go to this show and have an enjoyable evening.
The bands playing on the bill will make good money and have a good time.
If Tool never released a new album, the songs they did record will still stand the test of time and gain new fans for years to come.
i highly doubt any of the other musicians are sitting around judging Tool for not having a new album out. They’re probably anticipating it along with everyone else.
I’m more in line with this, have been since the release of Destroy; Contradictions Collapse (1991)
Destroy Erase Improve (1995)
Chaosphere (1998)
Nothing (2002)
Catch Thirtythree (2005)
obZen (2008)
Koloss (2012)
TBA (2016)
Is anyone actually debating that other bands release more albums? Unsure of what the point of these comments are.

“Most of those bands shouldn’t have bothered making any albums in the last 10 years.

You’re usually one of the more level headed posters on here. Which bands ‘shouldn’t have bothered making any albums in the last 10 years.’ ?
I think you’re taking his comment overly seriously, especially for someone saying they were going to reply only once.
I imagine he was specifically referring to Anthrax, Slayer and to a lesser extent Primus.
Pretty much….
Especially Slayer.
I used to love Primus, but they just seem to be more diluted with each release.
That’s cool. To each their own. I like how Slayer has done different things with each record. Very creative within their established sound. Switching back and forth between Lombardo and Bostaph and whether Bostaph chooses to sound like Lombardo or be his technical self on each album is cool. World Painted Blood has a really different, close miles amp production that was a bold step, and again interesting.
No problem at all with anything Anthrax has done.
Close miked.
Last good Primus album was Tales from the punchbowl.
Probably right. I thought Brown Album was funny for the sheer audacity and gall.
No argument with that. Claypool IS just an entirely different thing from just about everybody though.
Bring on the flaming, because everyone who’s not Tool ‘sucks’ and shouldn’t be releasing albums, but I really like the output of those 3, except Primus’s last 2. Green Naugahyde was decent, afraid I’m at a loss for words for ‘Chocalate”
That’s an assumption you are making that I think is incorrect. I certainly don’t fall into that category. The last few releases from each of those 3 bands was pretty forgettable, but I’m cool with them trying.
I’m equally cool with Tool making the call to drag it out. If they feel like it’ll result in a better album, then that’s fine by me – I don’t feel any need to interfere with the artistic process, even if I feel they might be going down the wrong path.
jadrianjadrian = manowarrollins. Or at least is his twin/clone. if not, then now there are two meat heads to contend with on here.
Sure seems like it.
Personally I think we need more lists of bands and release dates to read
Well, well, well, Listen to the Ugly Sisters bickering at each other. Not surprised with you cunts. Hey Hellboi…… do you think that’s all for the tour dates or could there be a few more added
thx
Goddamn fucking scalpers!! Just tried to buy tix for the Denver show, got on the website for purchasing probably the second they went on sale, BOOM!, sold out already. How in the fuck is that even possible? The Pepsi Center ain’t no little boutique venue, fucking sports arena for fuck’s sake. Even tried buying just one ticket, nothing. Oh well, the sound will likely be horrible in there anyways and the chances of a major change to the setlist are slim to hotdog bun none.

Tool has a different set list each tour. Since 2010, I’ve seen many different songs from them that I didn’t think I’d ever see again, namely Undertow, HWAP, Flood, intolerance, Sweat, Parabola, Ect.
Damn you. Where did you get Undertow?!?!
I remember when I got Ticks & Leeches. My jaw looked like Sebastian in Little Mermaid.
First ever tool/little mermaid simile?!?
@ out…
Stinkfist
Looks like I was wrong about Undertow…and Flood was back in 2007.
I guess I’m thinking Intolderance and got them mixed up…weird.
I could have swore I saw Undertow in the last 6 years, but I don’t see it on my list. 🙁
I’m always surprised they don’t play 4 degrees. Seems like it’d be an easy song for Maynard.
Agreed – 4 Degress is one of the most underrated songs in their entire catalog IMO.
If memory serves, they played Flood on that tour b/c that’s one of David Cross’ favorite tracks by them and he was also performing at Bonnaroo that year so they added it in in the dates surrounding Roo that year.

I meant a MAJOR change, not just a song or two or some stupid reordering of the same damn songs. Something along the lines of a lengthy D/R/T, or Intension into Right in Two, you know, some combinations that eat up a lot of time, yet flow. Hell, them playing the ‘Holy Gift’ would take up the first set alone, would be cool to experience live too.
Right in Two would be nice.
No it’s true they are pretty limited because they have to abide by what Maynard is willing to sing.
Although not one of my go to tracks per se, RI2 was absolutely amazing live. It helped that we saw it in an opera house so the acoustics were ridiculously good but that crescendo at the end blew the hair off m my head.

Stinkfist
I can’t stand that song. It’s so tedious, his lyrics suck ass on it. The ending is the only good bit.
Hey everybody!!! Happy Friday! Anyhoots, a pal of mine shared that the TA site is getting a makeover. I guess it’s going to look a lot like the new web store. Anyway, you can check it out for yourself on FaceBook. It’s under the group TOOL Army Members. Gotta scroll down a little to see the post.
Fuck Yeah the days of ole shall be back!! Cant fuckin wait……. Wonder if our Karma will be carried over? Hahahahaa!!!

There’s one. Yes, great, interesting band. I stumbled across them in 2002 on Amazon.com when reading Tool reviews. This was just prior to Alter. A lot of the reviewers were comparing them to Tool. A lot were also saying yes, while similar at times, very much their own thing.
Two sets that I’ve seen…..

Saw APC at the Fillmore “Mer De Noms” in its entirety. Didn’t want to see the other albums live at the time although now I wish I had been there for “Thirteenth Step”. Also heard the emotive evening blew them all away which surprises me…
