Random Tool Social Media thread

Ah I was so close to being right

[UndKeineZwEier]

I was going to suggest that it would be both of them earlier, but I didn't for some reason.

[joeypants]

Thanks!!!! Not sure how that sounds like Jambi at all though

There's a very vague similarity, but as I said it's a stretch. It mostly just sounds like "Tool fucking around in the Loft" to me, as do most of the live segues people post as new material.

I have to disagree with you there. It is the same exact riff, just played at a different tempo. It's the riff Adam plays towards the end of the song ("Shine on forever..."). I would put loads of money on that clip being one of the many "digressions" they tried with those riffs and didn't use.

those webcasts or whatever are pretty cool to listen to.. and correct me if im wrong but the majority of them have came out BEFORE the album release? interested to know if they will even do one for the new album..

to be honest im a little worried they wont take the next album as seriously post-release, as in possibly not making music videos, touring it much, promoting it (webcasts, interviews)... i dunno just a thought ive had, i just dont "feel" like they will be as into it as past releases.

[joeypants]

Oh they will.

Also after listening to that "thing" at the end of that webcast, the audio definitely sounds manipulated. It could have been an early clip of Jambi that was slowed down without altering the pitch (it sounds like some of that digital "distortion" you get when you do that to audio).

Danny & Justin presenting the Best Drummer award at the Golden Gods Awards

anyone have any footage from it?

[ToolFanFromWayBack]

I guess that means that Danny didn't win it? ^^^^

Of course not. Not sure who won. Doesn't matter. Tomas Haake is the greatest metal drummer on the planet by a country mile. DC might be a better all around drummer, although that could easily be debated. I certainly wouldn't call DC a metal drummer. In terms of metal, it's Tomas and then everyone else. Fact.

[BlindnCynical]

haha Avenged Sevenfold's drummer won it

You are shitting me? LOLOLOLOL Avenged Sevenfold bwahahahahahahaha

Dude what is this world coming to?

[UndKeineZwEier]

I'm pretty sure the candidates had to have released an album last year and I don't think Volto! is the kind of music they give awards to at this event.

[M0G]

^ Yeah he did drum his nuts off on the Volto! album. No matter what I think of Tool, I can't hate on Danny's skill.

I HAVE SOME NEWS!!!!:

The American guy I use as a "go to" for all the music news that is presented on my radio program here in sunny ol' Melbourne, has come up with a tasty tidbit regarding Tool (FINALLY!!). Do not read any further if you don't want spoilers......well derr...:

► Show Spoiler

"....and I heard from a source close to the band (ie a tour promoter...TA DA!! ) that somewhere between8 and 11 tracks were listened to several times by all four members of Tool, during band meetings that took place back stage at several of the venues on the last tour. Although this does not sound exceptional (to me anyway), it must be noted....ahem, are you ready???....that this was the first time that Maynard's vocal recordings were heard in conjunction with the music that has thus far been recorded by the other three. The band were said to be "ecstatic" with the progress and relieved that a breakthrough is at last on the horizon. The vocals provided by Nard were said to have "exceeded expectations considerably" and put the band in a cracking mood for the rest of the tour! Good huh?!?Put an end to all that whining by those snivelling Tool fanactics, don't you think? Well.....not you though!! he he"

Taken directly from "go to's" email to me this morning.

I take this "news" with a pinch of salt...HOWEVER I cannot remember the last time his information did not prove to be more than worthy (He was right about Neurosis and their last album for a start AND gave me a blow by blow description of King Animal a month before it was released). But of course it goes without saying that this "news" is far from "official". So don't get all angsty with me if shit doesn't happen.

I'm still sticking to a 2015 release date though. This is Tool remember.

!!!

[Ravenpig]

That's more or less where I thought they'd be at this point, though I'm still a "it'll be out when it's out" guy. Whatevs.

A sign that this might be true is that beside that bday concert, May Jay has nothing going on with Puscifer and APC at a time of the year when he normally might, especially Puscifer.

True. Exactly how I feel.

Bummer he didn't share a tidbit that was a little more "earth shattering".

"Tour Promoters" aren't that close to the band that they would be privy to that kind of information. Promoters (in the US) are local or regional. On the most recent tour, I can only think of 1 promoter rep who did more than one of the shows, and he did 2 of them, not several.
Sounds bogus to me.

Danny is enjoying Stumpfest this weekend with Jon Theodore (Mars Volta, QOTSA) and Sebastian Thomson (TransAm, Baroness)

Cool pic. I would have loved to have gone to Stumpfest. Some awesome bands were part of that line up. Dig how they do the small, intimate venue thing. Would love to see it grow beyond just the Pacific Northwest and see it hit some other cities.

[Calfium Jay]

Sounds bogus to me.

Sounds bogus that the band as a whole would listen to the music they have created so far?? They're on tour together for a start. Sounds reasonable to me.

That part isn't that far-fetched. The part that sounded bogus to me is that a promoter rep would know about it and also know how the band reacted to it.
