As noted overnight by GoListen2LennyWhite on Reddit, Adam seems to have recently posted a pic on Instagram which may or may not hint towards a video for The Pot. Here's the photo:



The photo includes the tags #whyseeagel and #hottep, the latter which is speculated to be an anagram for The Pot. Anyone got any thoughts on the first one? Wordsmith.org returns 426 possible results, including my favorite "Wash Eye Gel".

Looks like a slug with legs.

 

Here's your answer:

Eh I thought the pic he put up of him and Danny a couple days ago was much more interesting than this.

We all "know" The Pot video is coming, no need to be all cryptic about it.

Ha.  That was a little to obvious for me to notice!

I should check Instagram more often!  For those interested:

Just come out already, something. Getting pretty bored.  I do like anagrams.

So, the very tiny snippets we may have seen of The Pot video, seems like a lot of butchering going on?!

Blair mentioned the date January 5th in the last newsletter. I really thought something would be posted today regarding the release of this video or it would be in the shopping bazaar. No luck. These guys take their sweet ass time with everything.

Yeah, right?

They're still doing the whole "we're so cryptic, we-have-a-secret, *smug wink*" thing?

They're releasing a video for a song that come out YEARS ago. If anything, I would've assumed they'd be contrite as shit.

I really hope the still isn't for a video of a song that came out six and a half years ago. I think it took Kubrick less time to make. Eyes Wide Shut.

I guess the hash tag pretty much proves that this is for The Pot. Oh well, I hope that it'll be worth the wait.

Not an exact match, but my first thought was a newborn joey in the pouch.

Yeah, hard to get excited about a video for a song that old.

I'm more excited to see what comes with the video.  I look forward to seeing how the video plays out (and being an old song really doesn't bother me) but it's not like I sit down an watch Tool videos all the time.  In fact I can't remember the last time I watched any of the videos aside from the Aenima and Parabol ones.

 

I am interested to see what they can offer as far as the rest of the package goes.  Hopefully something more than just a commentary with a shitty comedian and a Lustmord remix.

im still hopeful for a 3d thing, but at this point who has any idea?

Yeah Adam mentioned a theatre release some years ago for this. It might hint at artwork for the next album just like Parabola did for 10000 days... Maybe they will bundle the DVD with 10000 days vinyl?

"just like Parabola did for 10,000 days"? explain...i remember the artwork, but I don't remember the similarity to 10k

I had always hoped The Pot dvd would be released as a prelude to the new album coming out - just like with the 2006 releasing of the Schism/Parabola dvd singles.

Probably..........won't be the case though.

 

"Yay...look at us. We're releasing a video for a song we put out 7 years ago just to prove we haven't been wasting our time snow boarding, surfing, smoking pot, drinking Corona and eating Mexican take out all these years. Yay."

Hard to get excited for a video for the worst (comparatively) song on the album. If he had been working for 6 years on a Rosetta Stoned video, thats definitely something I'd get behind. Why The Pot?

I'm gonna go smoke some pot and think about it.
