New Tool record end of year?

[Zephyr_Nova]

I blame it on "the machine's absence."

I can't imagine this being out this year if they aren't even done arranging and still have songs to write. wtf.

maynard is currently touring w/Puscifer.. side project.. they've been on and off the road for the last several months. currently in europe. Paul Barker formerly of Ministry is playing bass w/them. he's posting a lot of tour pics of venues and such on instagram.

new tool record? no idea.

[Haste]

I like how his pictures are all pink.

I saw that tour and it was an A+

[Poimandres]

I listened to Portishead - Third on the commute to work this morning and that reminded me that 10 year albums can sometimes deliver the goods, which made me feel a bit better about Tool than I had been for a while. And hey... at least we're getting the new Avalanches today right? Come on Tool, give us a new album so the year of musical dreams (and terrible deaths) can be truly complete!

it almost needs to be a double album at this point

That would take another 10 years.

I'm either expecting a 4 part quadruple album that's 5 hours long or a 2 track single

 

There is no in between

I want a video rock opera like the wall but a 2 hour tool video. on vhs or laser disc.

[auxien]

When they seemed stronger as a group of individuals writing music together, I was hoping they'd do a double album and close out their writing career with it. Now, given how long and trudging the writing is reported to be even for Tool, I really just hope whatever they release doesn't taint their catalog.

Did anyone here catch them on their recent tour? What did you think of any new material they played? I listened to a clip of one new song but I wasn't very moved by it, just curious about what to expect from a new Tool release.

They haven't played any new material on their tour. The one you heard was more of a segue based on something that they had been working and not a proper song.

Ah yeah, they were also supposed to release a live DVD from the Lateralus tour, I think they even recorded some of the shows. LOL.

[jules]

they did. they even performed faaip de oiad as a hidden live track!

Did you wait until after the venue closed to hear it?

[jules]

they came back out 40 minutes after they left the stage or so. there were still people filing out that caught it.

 

they did it a few times.

 

 

pretty cool idea.

[may be rude]

[modey]

started off kinda cool but got boring quickly.. sounds like 46+2 really. I think they've run out of ideas

I mean, it sounds like Tool - it definitely does, but I wouldn't say they've run out of ideas. It sounds pretty interesting even though it's a teaser. We'll see what happens when the new album is released... Hopefully while we are all still cognitive
