Just a quick note to say that I’ll be over in Sydney for a few days attending a conference. I should be able to get onto the net while I’m over there, but chances are I won’t be able post quite as regularly as I normally would. Hopefully, there won’t be any big news in the next few days, fake track-lists, covers and leaks aside. See you all next week….
Ocelot199 on Toolnavy posted me this mp3 today which is supposedly a leak from 10,000 Days. It’s only short: https://www.fourtheye.net/tool-leak.mp3 Disclaimer: I haven’t had a chance to listen to it since I’m at work, so I can’t vouch for it’s integrity. Word is on Toolnavy that it sounds pretty damn good, regardless of who it is. Edit: In my opinion, it sounds ok, but like the alleged rehearsals that came… Read More »Leak?
My man Ryan told me about his Fake 10,000 Days artwork gallery. Check it out here: http://www.toolcollector.net/fake_artwork/ Man some people have no imagination, at least the first one looked alright…..
I meant to mention before, that Blair also confirmed that the 2nd of May is the official release date.  50 Days to go. I’ve also updated the Signed Lateralus Vinyl Gallery.   Thanks to Ryan, The Betterfly and Stalkingbutler for their contributions. I’m still looking for more, and I know that another batch has been sent out recently, so if you’ve got one, make sure you get me the pics.
It seems all current cover “leaks” are fake. Well so Blair says on Toolband/Army. He also re-iterates the fact that the tracklisting is real and not fake. From the looks of the tracklisting, it would seem Tool had a bad weekend in Vegas and decided to write about….. I kinda liked the first one “cover” though. Anyway, keep the leaks coming, because I’ll keep printing the ones that at least… Read More »â€œLies are usually caused by undue fear of menâ€

Thanks to Ronny for spotting this on Amazon: http://www.amazon.de.toolune.de/qid=1142094124sr=8-3ref=pd_ka_3303-4956888-9710652.htm Edit: This really is fake, but I’m leaving it here, so don’t bother asking me to take it down, just don’t think about ordering from there (if you can) Edit: Here’s a bigger version: Thanks to the guys at toolband.de for that one.
According to Blair on Toolband/Army, here’s the 10,000 Days tracklist. And no, he says it’s not a joke….. Vicarious Jambi Wings For Marie (Pt 1) 10,000 Days (Wings Pt 2) The Pot Lipan Conjuring Lost Keys (Blame Hofmann) Rosetta Stoned Intension Right In Two Viginti Tres
According the Billboard: Rock act Tool will break a five-year silence on May 2 with its next album, “10,000 Days.” No other details have yet been revealed about the Volcano Records project, which is the follow-up to 2001’s “Lateralus.” That set debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 2.3 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Tool will play its first U.S. show… Read More »Billboard, Amazon, Isis+Butcher
