Daniel spotted this AD on TV just the other day. Looks like one of the promos Blair posted on Toolarmy the other day. After all the talk of “turning off your television” who would have thought. Ahhh the irony….. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qx6gdUqHfRI
Ravenskull just sent me this link which has another picture of the 10,000 Days packaging. In respect to those wanting to hold out until the CD is released, I’ve posted just the link…. Looks pretty damn good to me. Was there ever any doubt? Edit:Â Old link broken, try here instead.
Chris emailed me this link this morning, which tells us about the existing 10,000 Days Midnight Sales in Australia, but also mentions a new one in Melbourne. So all you Victorians can now hear 10,000 Days at 12:01. Oh, it’s at HMV in Bourke Street by the way. SlickNickShady on Toolnavy seems to have purchased some of the new Tool T-Shirts. Here’s a couple of links to the pictures: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v102/slicknickshady/100_0151.jpg… Read More »Melbourne at Midnight, Shirts, More Tours, TA Member Tickets…
Turns out Triple J has started playing tracks off 10,000 Days on the radio. Apparently Jambi was played this morning, and then The Pot was played later on this afternoon. Those wanting to avoid hearing songs until buying the CD may want to tune out….. Thanks to Elle for that tip!
Daniel tells me that Hot Topic, an American store are giving away free Tool stickers (in the current 10,000 Days style) as well as having a couple of new T-Shirts for sale. Merchandise addicts start your engines!
The Betterfly on Toolarmy posted an interview with Maynard on TA boards this morning. Here’s some highlights: A huge thanks to Joe Barresi who spent lots of time and effort working on (especially) guitar sounds. I think “10,000 Days” is overall more “raw” sounding than “Lateralus” or “Aenima” and you have to go back all the way to “Undertow” to find similar soundscapes. “Lipan Conjuring” is Danny’s little song which… Read More »Finnish Maynard Interview
Archival update: Sadly the website that contained these images is not closed. I don’t have a copy of them, but if anyone does, then let me know and I’ll host them on Fourtheye. hellboy – 14-Jul-2015 Mr. Beadle emailed me this morning with this long email outlining the Stereoscopic Ark hoax that he perpetrated in the leadup of the release of Tool‘s 10000 Days. OK, seeing as the real thing… Read More »10000 Days Stereoscopic Ark Hoax
JB Hi-Fi has updated their website regarding the Australian 10,000 Days shortage, to say the following: Updated information as of 23rd April: we are quietly confident we will be receiving additional stock of this album – while this cannot be guaranteed, we do suggest that you put your orders in straight away to get to the front of the line. We hope to be able to post a definite answer… Read More »10,000 Days Shortage Update
Looks like all of the US Shows (feel free to correct me if I’m wrong) have sold out, many in a matter of seconds. This was more or less expected, which explains the general dismay with the lack of Pre-Sales. Those who missed out, I guess you’ll have to resort to scouring ebay, or as some have done, think about selling your souls…..
Orange on Toolnavy posted this interview with Danny and Maynard done by Visions Magazine. A good read, more about the working of the band and the story behind the recording than about 10,000 Days itself.
