At this point in time I'm more curious about the possible "Salival II ish" release since it'd be here much sooner than the new album..
My guess:
  • Remastered HD versions of Tool videos.
  • A bunch of live tracks recorded over the years (probably audio only, since they appear to have given up on the video recordings they made).
  • Problem 8 or some other unreleased stuff lying around the place.
  • Collectors edition with a replica character from one of their videos.
my reaction to you mentioning "Problem 8" is similar to my reaction when the guys who work in the mailroom argue about the results of professional wrestling matches.

I wonder if this (?!?!) Salival II thingy is what Mackie Osbourne was working on when she commented on "Tool stuff" all those months ago.......

Most likely. She's worked on much much everything since Lateralus, so I expect she'd also work on any future Tool releases.

the WWE and Problem 8 both have no basis in reality. for all intention purposes they are fake and in my own opinion are figments of an overactive imagination.

How does that make WWE different from any other tv show?

I'm not convinced Problem 8 is real either, but it wouldn't shock me if it was. I could see Blair thinking, "I'll tell them about this song, even the name, and they won't believe me because I'm me". Either way I think he's played it very well.

That fact that Tool have unreleased tracks has no basis in reality? I doubt that very much and have heard quite the opposite from my sources.

Has Blair added a large amount of fiction to the lore surrounding the track? That's most likely, but as to the existence of such a track I don't think that should surprise anyone or be considered figments or peoples imagination.

it doesn't make it any different when talking about entertainment, that much is true. but the "sports" part of sports-entertainment is where it swerves and millions of people in the States lump it in with the NBA/MLB which could not be more perverse. correlation being that 10,000 Days is an actual album, Rosetta Stoned is a song, that has been recorded and exists, I could play it for you, you could listen to it right now. "Problem 8" is not a song that fits into that category, because the fucking thing is made up lol.

then HB putting it as a bullet point lumped in with live recordings and DVD material is like putting Big Foot in a National Geographic documentary about primates.

At the Arizona VIP Q&A someone asked Jones about problem 8 which he gave a perplexed looked saying "what is that?, I don't know what he [Blair] is referencing too? yeah I don't know what that is" not verbatim but I'm sure pretty close. Then he went on talking about BMB for a little bit. take it as you will :?

I kinda remember 'problem 8' being fairly prominent in a pic of a whiteboard at the loft a while ago.

So much quackery the past 12....24+ months - Problem 8, curveball, Bethlehem abortion clinic stuff, Spartley, golden tix prize(s), The Pot video, Mackey Osbourne contributing to something. More.

I get the feeling they are still months away from having the music done and Maynard has not even started the lyrics yet (certainly not his fault). It's not as though there is much positive information being posted to their site. Then they will still need to jam together with Maynard to work out the songs with the vocals before hitting the studio. I'd be shocked if they get into the studio before next summer. I'd say no chance this album comes out before 2016. I just wish they'd release something to hold us over until then... like a live CD/DVD... anything.

I am quite negative about this whole shermozzle, however even in the very deep, dark depths of my own brooding negativity, I still firmly believe there is MORE than enough time for a late 2015 release. Unlike others here, I don't think they'll hit the studio before Christmas this year. Maybe.....March? And they have stated that one song is "done" and another "pretty much there" and that the "backbone of the entire album is mapped out". So I think it's just a question of filling in the blanks. Maynard has definitely worked on lyrics. Even whatsisface from APC said that Maynard wasn't to be disturbed as he was in "full Tool mode" some time ago. The live/rare/whatever/The Pot dvd release has been hinted at far too many times to not be true. I'd expect that one maybe April next year. Possibly even an Undertow reissue as well.

Anyway, don't worry about it. Godflesh are about to release a new album next month and Aphex Twin next week. So....everything else is redundant.

Isn't it?

Do you suppose Justin's mystic state of prolificacy 'on the new album' has waned somewhat since Danny declared it in March......2012?
