The new album has grown on me quite a bit.

I have no doubt they'll take care of it, but their response time is insane. Dealt with it before. It's mind-boggling they still take such a home-grown/under-staffed approach to their merch since they're one of the biggest bands on the planet. I know they don't do it maliciously, but there's really n...

touche! haha

Sex with groupies!!!! HEAVENS NO!!!!!

Jesus tittyfucking christ, you all. Grow up.

I think you guys would really get into infowars.com

Highly recommended.

Mog, Void and anyone else with a similar stance, I'd argue very strongly that I can make a judgement on this. This has nothing to do with my passion for Tool but more my common bloody sense. The power of the #metoo movement is it contains real people with real credibility standing behind their name...

If you want to stand behind a VERY serious allegation and do it properly, I will listen. I will believe, and ask for more information/etc.

This? Fuck that. Fuck Twitter, and fuck dicking with people's reputations anonymously.

It won't, because it's bullshit. 3 days on now... maybe time to let the thread die. Joey you can't assume anything. I think maybe your passion for Tool's music is getting in the way of your objectivity. I am not saying I think the allegation is true or false. As I said I don't not have enough infor...

And if I sound agitated, I am, but not so much for #metoo related reasons as fucking Twitter/Reddit. People put too much time and stock into those fucking sites, which are RIDDLED with bullshit upon bullshit upon bullshit. Humanity would be better off immediately if you could somehow just close thos...

At this point I hope he doesn't even address it. He shouldn't, and doesn't have to. It's one lone anonymous shit-stirrer at this point. You notice ZERO even halfway respectable news blogs have picked this up and for good reason: It's irresponsible to do so. Just like it's irresponsible to just wing ...

Unfortunately, I think standing behind an accusation is part of it. Hell though it might be for the people. You can't just start rolling over for any person with an anonymous twitter account. These are serious accusations, and you have to stand behind that. Otherwise, you're just spreading rumor.

Nothing wrong with a discussion about a quite important topic. This whole situation is likely to get worse before it gets better. No offense taken by the way. Oh, absolutely. My only quibble is that it's a totally anonymous twitter account, ergo could be (and likely is) someone with an ax to grind....

And no offense, but there shouldn't have even been a thread about this crap because you're just amplifying it. My $0.02.

One anonymous TWITTER (cesspool of fucking humanity) accusation is something I'm going to label as "bullshit," frankly. It has to be more substantial than that, especially with a rockstar... who's been very prone to freaks spreading wild backstage stories over the years... who has a VERY s...

haha, likewise, the only other place I'd want to be is Red Rocks.

Going to the first two nights of the Fall tour in New Orleans. Can't wait! Never seen them in a venue quite that small. Aragon Ballroom is the smallest place I've seen them.

I still love them, but it's night and day to me.

Fucking amazing album, not my favorite of theirs though. At least, speaking of them as a whole piece.

Ablaze is one of the finest things they've ever written though. An all-timer in the doom category.

That Rock Am stream is really great.

Also highlights how much Freese is missed. The Hollow is like a whole different (lesser) song without him. Fills are weak, son!!

Did anyone ever figure out exactly what the deal was? Not that it's our business but... I am curious what spurred his hiatus.

Nice!

Yeah, they're an all-timer live for sure. Otherworldly.

For Parabol/Parabola and generally whatever other song in a set may be tuned differently, he plays a natural/"blonde" finished Les Paul. For Parabola it's tuned with the low string to B, and the second string to E. The rest of the strings are standard. For Prison Sex, the low string is tun...

Doesn't Adam really only use his Les Pauls though? I don't know a ton about their recording process but I always got the impression that he never really used other guitars. Although I do think there was one song where he used a different guitar, like on Undertow (Prison Sex maybe?) but that's the o...
