Re: Random Tool Social Media thread

Thats Alan Cross thats based out of toronto. he use to do ''the history of new music'' (or still does small segments or more? something) dude knows quite a bit about lots of bands and had shows every week on diff ones. he did tool a few times over the last 20 years or so or whatever its been. he lost his touch a little i'd say. the last time i heard him do a tool special he referred to ''stinkfist from salival'' what ? O o considering how much research this guys done through his career i can forgive him for that but hes also talked about that three over layed song from 10k as ''Tool made a 3 dimensional song'' that you layer together. he realizes its made from fans but i got the impression he thinks thats real and not just weird fandom crap. whatever i guess, dude is still pretty awesome but i noticed those two things.Busty McCracken wrote: ↑Sat Sep 07, 2019 10:40 pm https://globalnews.ca/news/5824635/tool ... lan-cross/
Not sure the accuracy of all this Coz I hadn't ever seen it so detailed before but clears alot up if it's all true. Maybe junior or Hellboy maybe able to shed some light? A good article on why the album took so long

I like the tactic mate. Keep em keen and slam dunk em with the quality! Reminded me of Alice Cooper in Wayne's world with his well time knowledge
I don't think there's much there we don't already know. Not sure about the claims that Tool couldn't release new music while undergoing legal action - never heard that one before, and I' not sure I buy it. They just didn't have stuff ready to release in that time, or the creative juices flowing well enough.Busty McCracken wrote: ↑Sat Sep 07, 2019 10:40 pm https://globalnews.ca/news/5824635/tool ... lan-cross/

I can't comment on things that happen way above my involvement level, and also am not privy to most of that stuff, anyway.Busty McCracken wrote: ↑Sat Sep 07, 2019 10:40 pm https://globalnews.ca/news/5824635/tool ... lan-cross/

Fair enough but I have to disagree though. The new album is well past the point of being great and is firmly entrenched in the absolutely fucking amazing department! The boys done good.junior wrote: ↑Sun Sep 08, 2019 3:55 pmI can't comment on things that happen way above my involvement level, and also am not privy to most of that stuff, anyway.Busty McCracken wrote: ↑Sat Sep 07, 2019 10:40 pm https://globalnews.ca/news/5824635/tool ... lan-cross/

Some of those things he mentions are matters of public record, and some of them seem like conjecture.
All I know is that it took a while, now it's out, and it's good.
As it turns out, junior wrote the entire thing. Tool's hired him as a ghost writer for decades.Busty McCracken wrote: ↑Sun Sep 08, 2019 4:24 pmFair enough but I have to disagree though.
