I'm sooo ready for new music from these guys. Was listening to 10,000 Days today and thought, "Every one of their albums is a masterpiece".
Not too many bands I would say that about.
I definitely agree. It's never been a question of "will I like this?" They have easily earned the benefit of the doubt with me. I'm thinking they can go Polka with the next album and I'll still have it on repeat.

We were on a bit of a concert binge of late. My buddy was a Tool fan- but wasn't so much of a fan that he knew the entire catalogue and had never seen them. We went to Tool in Vancouver this last go around. He was blown away.
I asked him to rank the concerts he had seen in order of personal favourites. This was his list:
Tool Metallica (I bailed... too busy moving) Tom Petty U2 Red Hot Chili Peppers
(mine went: Tool, RHCP, U2, Tom Petty, GnR)
He threw in the disclaimer that all were pretty awesome and that fact spoke to how cool he thought the Tool show was. He drove up to the site where we embarked on our mountain bike ride last night playing Undertow. He's all in!
Tool, Pearl Jam & Faith No More are my all time favorites in no particular order. In the last 2.5 years I've been lucky enough to see them a combined ten times.

I'm a very grateful fan.
Wow man! You just nailed my top 3 also. We must have been separated at birth. Great taste Merkin!

Ha, possible! I love the handle (I think I've mentioned this before!). Did you see this picture from the Dead Cross show in NYC this week?
Consider this!! The Beatles entire recording and touring career was shorter than the time lapsed since 10,000 days was released.
I can't imagine living at a time when bands put out two albums a year. When Pearl Jam put out albums in 91, 93, 94. That seemed pretty frequent, and no one does then that frequently anymore (new bands make more on touring than recording and veteran bands slow down their output). Its crazy that at one point in time bands were pumping out 2 albums a year. I think the Doors were like that too. Their who catalog was recorded in a very short time span.
I've known that it's not just him but the band wasn't writing collectively for 10 years, that's TEN YEARS, because of a lawsuit that "sucked the creativity out of them".
I think Adam Jones is the holdup at this point. I’m hard pressed to believe that Maynard only wants to be creative w/ APC & Puscifer. I don’t think the guys who clearly want to record & tour are the reason Tool hasn’t released an album all this time. That’s my $0.02.
It's just silly at this point... I'll just wait for them to bring their 90 minute live show to my area.... is Tool is even really a band at this point?
Still a real band, and still scheduling shows. Even if they never released another album, I would still go see them when given the chance. It’s mother effing Tool & they’re IMO still one of the greatest acts of our day.

Don't forget after Vitalogy, two year gaps were the norm. No Code-96, Yield-98, Binaural-2000, Riot Act-2002. They were still very prolific 7 albums in. Now it's been 3 albums in 15 years.

My understanding these days is bands make more money touring than making albums? Also, bands like PJ, for example, don't really have the demand to keep releasing new material.
Anyone else see the Tom Morello post on Instagram yesterday with Justin, Danny, and Adam. He mentioned that he has heard the new Tool tracks and loved them. Any danger Maynard can drop APC and focus on Tool?

Not with everybody worshipping them.
With that said... when they get their act together, release their new album, and plan a tour... they'll hire Rage as their supporting act and it will be bliss.

The concept of albums is dead to most music fans. Music is promoted as singles with the ability to buy single tracks digitally.
I am wondering how much longer rock and roll can last. With the Beatles everything was new. It just seems like music is getting harder and harder to make without being accused of ripping off someone from yesteryear. As far as bands like Pearl Jam slowing down music production, I don’t care what anyone says the well has to dry out eventually. I would never blame them for not putting out music they feel wasn’t up to their standards. When the creativity bug hits them so be it but I don’t need no timeline.
AJ posts over at the Hoffman forums and said a vinyl reissue campaign is going down soon.
Looks like I’ll be buying a third copy I have a original black and an amber bootleg. Original sounds incredible but I’d like a audiophile pressing of this beast!

Imagine Patton, Spruance, Lombardo & Dunn in a band together? Those guys could own the world.
I really enjoyed their last concert- it was awesome- but I'm tired of anticipating when the new album will ever come out. It's been painful.
I'll say it again... if you guys would stop supporting those sub par side projects... Maynard might be a little more motivated to work with Tool.

Maynard made wine and side projects.
Danny drummed at The Baked Potato.
Justin? No Idea what he's done.
Adam? No idea either...
