Tools new album

[xeroinfinity]

I dont think MJK got his influences from Rage though they did tour on Lalapaloza back in 92 or 93. Most of Hush(and the rest of opiate) is refering to the corporate label BS they were strugling with back then.
I know they did get out of that contract, and went to Volcano so they could do what "they" wanted and not some jackass CEO's opinion of what they should be singing.

But ya they hav changed over the years and they just keep geting better at writing great music.
I do see the '10000 days' being In your face no holds bar'd with sweet over tones of the occult Youve been to thier site, you know what I mean.
Hell when I saw them on the Poluza tour with Rage, I didnt even like them, MJK was wearing a dress w/large breasts, I was drunk and confuzed about the whole show But NOW I really like Tool, I must say Aenima is my favorite with Lateralus second.
THose two realy hit home for me, in a way, not that I've had prison sex or stickfists, but I think I understand where the songs are coming from..

[vinnym86]

Yeah, lateralus and Aenima are may fav's respectively, but it doesn't mean i don't like their other records. Have you heard their live Salival album? They play songs from the band Peach, guitarrist Adam Jones' old band. also a very sick album.

Salival is a pretty awesome cd. I would have to say Undertow is my favorite album though. I like the heavier sound.

When they came in 2001, Tomahawk opened for them. God they sucked ass. Looking forward to the 06 tour, sans Tomahawk.

You didnt like Tomahawk? they werent to bad, no Faith no More(mike patton). I like the song "God Hates A Coward" the rest are kinda lame.
thiers also a country band named Tomahawk, now they suk!
Always forget Salival , its awsome for a bunch of covers. I hav some bootleg live stuff w/ Vacant which was changed to APC song(w/a different name) they used in Constantine.

They also hav a song in the Run Ronny Run movie, "Ass kickin Fat Kid" pretty kool all thier covers dont come acrossed as covers. MJK is good at that!

47 days and counting.......

I don't know if you know about the now dead "Tapeworm Project". Big names like Manson and Maynard were partaking, directed and produced by Trent Reznor, Chris Vrenna, and Danny Lohner. I say dead cuz there was a lot of financing issues, and a lot of secrecy was violated (i.e. APC playing "Vacant" live, when it was still in the process of being produced and released as part of the tapeworm project)

but yeah, i've got a bootleg live version of Vacant. imo, its better than the softer, more artsy approach they took on their eMotive album under the new name, Passive.

If you're looking around for more Tapeworm bootlegs, search for 'Warlock' by Manson mixed by Lohner and Reznor. It's worth a listen, but it was never a finished project. there are more out there, too, but none of which sound any good. Vacant was by far the most complete and best sounding, followed by 'Warlock'.

Last, if you liked Salival, especially the song 'You Lied', give a listen to the album Giving Birth to a Stone: Peach, where the song is originally from. It's also got great songs like 'Spasm'.

46 days, oh yeah

^u mind having a little more input on this trhead other than a countdown?

vinnym86, the Tapeworm project would hav beeen nice if it all worked out. But Reznor was trying to get his band swinging again and MJK with all his little projects and Danny Lohnor, well he's a loner

Dont think I've heard Warlock... Hav to look into that. Ya I heard some Peach songs they werent bad.

I know a guy who "supposedly" has a video of MJKs first band (CAD) , when he was in high school. Havnt ever heard it either I hav been trying to get ahold of this guy(who sells bootlegs) to purchase, I mean trade and get the CAD and some older concerts from the 80's.
Stuff most people dont like, Mercyful Faith, and other metal bands.

Not long now at all, lets just hope the Tool Album doesnt get bumped again for some stupid reason.

I don't think it will be bumped now that they have an official date. They've already brought the record to be mastered by Bob Ludwig in his studio up in Maine on the 1st of February, sent them to the prints, and now its all in the hands of Zomba group records. If there is a push-back, though, it'll be the label's fault.

Tool had alredy announced their European tour a while back, but no word of when the US leg would start, not even if it will be before or after the Asian/Aussie tour. I certainly hope that they will have a better band than Tomohawk this time.

Just some artwork that has been released:




(edit: my internet is very slow right now, i hope you can see those pics, cuz i can't)

I guess that would make since on the release date. Hope Mr Ludwig doesnt loose the master copy, that guys gotta be 100 by now!
that guys done all kinds of matering over the years, I'm geting even more anxious just thinking about the new album, its going to sound spectacular

Nice art work thier, havnt seen any my self around the net. But It will surly trickle out as the days grow near. Was the UK geting the album release before the US? I hadnt heard myself....

i'm not sure. if anything, they are releasing it in the UK at a later date, as they have with their DVD's and lateralus Vinyl.

[vinnym86]

Rumors are fact, but the facts are a Rumor.

The track listing, album name, and album art are supposedly fake. Tool as "officially" released fake info in the past, before the release of AEnima and Lateralus... so we'll have to wait and see.
