If it didn't seem like you were spinning your tires with vitriol the last 4 years I'd say more power to you. However, it's accomplishing nothing. Even Maynard took up some hobbies to pass the time between records. When the long-anticipated record does come out, it'll be epic and you'll forget about ...

I can't believe the amount of bullshit each time I check in on new tool info. Someone once made a joke that tool could record their farts and and sell them. I thought it was a joke. Sadly, this is what it's come to. The farts aren't real farts, but media farts. All we have is a bag of old musty med...

If they were to release a live DVD, for the love of god don't edit it to the point were i'm having seizures and epilepsy attacks due to filters and cuts every damn syllable. looking at you stone and echo. I honestly can't watch that DVD simply because of the editing, i'd rather watch a bootleg. I'd...

Salival II is better. Then nothing...

I'm having this slogan printed on a t-shirt.

No kidding.

Might want to use proper grammar if you're going to do that.

What are the odds adam meant to post a video. It sure seems like he meant for a video but failed and now won't fix it I think he meant to post a pic with a video icon so thousands of convulsing Tool fans would sit there and try to play it several hundred times. "A little taste"... seems u...

^ We most likely all will be though ;) You are probably right, but if they hadn't been keeping this damn "curveball" such a secretive thing then I don't think I will be nearly as disappointed. Tell us what you are working on, then I won't have such high hopes. Honestly as long as it's not...

I like Tool's willingness to use effects to enhance the live performance but not stray too far from the recording. There was an effect he used during Pushit on the most recent tour ("I am somewhere I don't want to be...") that seemed to echo in front and behind me (either from the sound st...

I consider Freese one of the most underrated drummers around. I saw him play with NIN in 2008. He was masterful and it dawned on me at the time that he doesn't get near-enough credit. It's not really a knock on Friedl to say so... their styles are pretty different.

^I agree with this. Even if tool left a bunch of Easter eggs for people to uncover and interpret, would you really want to be THAT anal-ytical as to come up with some hypothesis that will never be confirmed? What is the end-game? If I surmise something from their lyrics or their behaviors it's likel...

and too see the guys just messing around gives them more of a human element.

Yeah, they never mess around.

It would make sense to package whatever they're doing with the new album so there is incentive to buy it rather than download it

i get the feeling maynard wasnt there in the studio suggested in the motorhead video He doesn't contribute to the segues, at least in a live setting. I'm not saying that I think this is what the curveball is, necessarily. It's just on my wishlist. And... there are a few factors that would play into...

For a curveball, I'd love to see Adam stick it to all you "Lazy Bones Jones" guys with a feature-length movie, like The Wall. He has shown an incredible ability of blending different visual techniques and now that he has a pretty big team of collaborators I think he could do it. They were ...

What Puscifer song did Cat walk out to before getting owned? I read that it was The Mission, but haven't actually seen it. Humbling River might have been more appropriate. No kidding. I read today her husband/trainer killed himself last year. Hopefully she gets another shot and picks a better song ...

What Puscifer song did Cat walk out to before getting owned?

Maynard says that he is excited. I don't think I have ever heard him say that about Tool. Maynard looking like an excited toddler on Danny's giant trap set... that's enough to make anybody giddy. I remember a photo of Adam's raw, bleeding fingers from recording the 10k days record; I really hope th...

But ask yourself... if they were to come out with a Salival 2, or a double-album, even after they yanked you around for a few years between releases, wouldn't you be pretty thrilled? Wouldn't you forgive them for having a bunch of laughs at your expense? This is the life of a Tool fan. You've been ...

Finally some love for Conditions? Is this the same forum? I couldn't agree more... it's a great album. I've always been fond of Puscifer's use of negative space (silence, whatever...). Like Maynard's wine, it's hard not to feel like that album was created in the desert (maybe that's just me). I'm pr...

You're such a little bitch.

I'll ready your noose.

I've been as hungry as anyone for new Tool music. Year after year we all wait and yeah... it sucks. But honestly, we'll all embrace it whenever it's released. They're in charge. They'll release it when they feel like it---and you'll listen. They'll come to your town when they feel like it---and you'...

Tool puts a lot of money into their set/visuals. Their concert experience is second to none. I don't have a problem with them getting said money in whatever way they can... I don't have a problem with them taking a long time writing the new record... I do have a problem with a bunch of whiny, entitl...
