all that overly hardcore security is a turn off for me. possibly cause i audio tape i wouldnt want to deal with that (got popped at a Danzig show for the same type of security to deal with)

<t>Haha, had to do it.<br/> <br/>  <br/> <br/> We're good. Hard at writing our next album (which we're talking to someone really cool about helping us with, assuming we can get all the pieces into place) and prepping for our big (well, big for us) show here in April. We'll definitely film it, whethe...

One of my favorite Tool songs. A relentless lesson in the power of simplicity.

Hey, if your first EP had THAT cover art... wouldn't you want another crack at it now that you win Grammys for your amazing packaging? I would. (No offense, I like the priest but the rest of the design?)

<r>"TOOL will release a handcrafted, bonus-laden, limited edition package of their original debut EP, Opiate, on Mar. 26 to mark the 21st anniversary of the six-song release.<br/> <br/> The anniversary edition is limited to 5,000 copies and features art direction by Adam Jones, illustrations by lege...

<t>Ahahaha, only took until page 11 for the classic HWAP quote to be trotted out! We already had a "think for yourself, question authority" but I was waiting for that old chestnut. <br/> <br/>  <br/> <br/> And also, who the hell said anything about the design being a poster or t-shirt? Anyone who w...

Louis CK and Doug Stanhope can pull this sort of thing off. You guys... Eh, just leave it to the pros. 

<r>The dudes were kind enough to mention us in this new interview. <br/> <br/> <URL url="http://www.heavyblogisheavy.com/2013/02/19/habitual-conversations-with-intronaut-the-heavy-blog-is-heavy-interview/"><LINK_TEXT text="http://www.heavyblogisheavy.com/2013/02 ... interview/">http://www.heavyblogi...

<t>That's a really tough question, as they change so much and evolve with each album. I'd say Leviathan or Crack The Skye if I'm looking at it in "complete album" terms. But Blood Mountain and The Hunter also contain some of the best Mastodon songs written, in my opinion, so it's tough. I'll go with...

Oh I'm not. Knowing that they're taking a while actually makes me happy because it says their quality control hasn't dipped. But then, I looooove 10K Days so... haha. I'm not worried about the Tool material at all. I think it'll be mind blowing as always.

<t>I get that. Puscifer is just a take it or leave it thing for me, personally. If I like some of it, great. If not, whatever he has his fun. As much as I wish he was just with Tool, as a group, I get why he can't just sit there. Being in a band I can totally and clearly see how a singer would be so...

I'd say it's 99.9999999999999% it's a poster and by extension, Tshirt.

<t>I agree with you though! The original is an amazing classic, and the cover (and basically every cover I've heard) is just a bland recreation of it that pales to the energy of the original.<br/> <br/>  <br/> <br/> Maynard said as much, but to me it's just a selfish exercise (nothing wrong with tha...

He did say that they did do a more 'out there' version of it, but the "Queen estate" or rights dictate that you can't release such versions, and any covers that are released have to "adhere to the original" or something to that effect.

<t>Because that's the only medium where it exists? And he probably likes the pixelated "what iiiiiiiiisssss ittttt?" quality?<br/> <br/>  <br/> <br/> I saw more than a few people pages back using the pixelated quality as some "hint" that it "MUST BE A VIDEO!!!" or something bigger than, he simply to...

Just to clear something up I keep seeing thrown around, whatever it is that Adam posted, he took a picture of a monitor. That's why it looks "funky" or "pixelated" or whatever.

<t>Interesting end to the interview. Kind of. I mean we all know the deal by this point.<br/> <br/>  <br/> <br/> I don't see the vitriol over the cover, unless you're in the "it's untouchable" camp. I can see that part. But I mean... it's a cover. A very capable cover that basically just recreates t...

True. Either way, I'm looking forward to this one. Props to Adam for pushing his drawing skills further.

<t>And I don't really mean you guys, more the mountains of people on Instagram, FB, etc. ALL of them just echoing "new album finally!!!!! whooooooooo!!!!" If you follow them enough to be aware of the new album hubub, you should probably be aware they're about to tour, and this is what the gig poster...

How does anyone not realize it's a gig poster for the upcoming tour? I mean... the mind reels sometimes.

So, these guys are new and very good. If you're into sludge or heaviness of any kind really, I highly suggest it.

I don'ta heara no autotune.

<t>Yeah I can see all that. I mean, he's still miles ahead of a lot of the other tech guys we've mentioned when it comes to pleasing my ear. But it's still all too much for me to really enjoy more than I just admire the skill involved. IF I was going to listen to or watch a tech-oriented player thou...

<t>Tosin is an amazing guitarist, but I just check out after like 2 songs with AAL. There's no real groove or "musicality" to it for me. It just feels like one long wank session, like if Steve Vai was a huge Meshuggah fan or something. It's fucking amazing and impressive to watch from a guitarist po...
