That was more exciting to look at than an NCAA bracket! Pushit going out early would have been my bracket buster and how was 10000 Days a 10 seed? A deserving champion in the end with lateralus.
And by the way... I joined the Tool Army a little while back and I have found that to be a waste of money.
Hahahaha me too and I have a super low number! Talk about a boner going to waste!!!! )
During the 10,000 days tour I picked up a couple of shows from the fan club. When the tour got to holmdel, nj (home show for me) I was psyched. Got to the venue, seats were not what I expected. Around 20 rows back dead center. I know that's not bad but for me, I'd rather see the band on stage then to look at the visuals. Idk, that's just me. But here's the kicker. My gf got 5 row to the left of the stage from the fan club, that she joined 3 months before the tour! I was pissed. The guy next to me had an even lower number then me but said the band considers these seats as prime for visuals and blah blah blah. Whatever, but ya, the fan club is a complete waste. And if you've seen tool enough times, you'd get a kick out of the crew looking for groupies all show long. EVERY SHOW I go to I see the same guy walking around looking for victims, funny shit!

I still haven't received my sweatshirt… It's been 5 months now and 3 emails… Not happy is an understatement.
The site is pretty awful to navigate too. Can't send messages. If somebody has some insight there let me know please. I almost think that TOOL planned it this way and that a "fan" will try harder.
F that. I know all the notes and lyrics but don't have time to unlock the "unconscious"…
On a good note I would LOVE to see them and hear No Quarter, Right in Two and Rosetta Stoned, the latter being one of the best pieces of music I've ever heard. Really listen and you'll get it.
If I had the time, I'd tell of a story where they pre-charged my visa for about 80 signed Opiate reissues.
Trust me when I say that led to some stress.
I love their music though and love their shows. I still love the River's Edge show in St. Paul when the first part of the show was in the last part of daylight- a completely different type of Tool show with no lights or visuals.
Tool is fantastic, I really enjoy Adam Jones, all of them really. Marc Maron's podcast with Maynard was really enjoyable. My favorite song is Lateralus probably followed by Right In Two. I love the way Maynard introduces theories and philosophies to listeners but leaves it up to them to step through the door.
I've said it for 15 years, Sober is the best (non pearl jam) song to come out of the 90's.
You ever listen to Aenima? That whole album is better than Sober, IMHO.
The drumming halfway through the song Aenema always amps me up. It's like double time

AT THE LAKERS GAME LAST NIGHT...
Yes, I know that the puck that DANNY caught happened during a recent L.A. Kings hockey game, but at the Lakers game last night, when I asked him about how things were going with the band, he told me that a couple of days ago ADAM had come into the loft with an ending for a particular song that everyone really liked. So, perhaps the musical arrangement for another TOOL song is finished... unless they sometimes write the end of the song first?
And by the way... I joined the Tool Army a little while back and I have found that to be a waste of money.
I just wanted to say this again. My sails are becoming limp waiting for this band to do anything. If you cannot think of any music to write, then get out and tour a bit. And when you do, change the set list up a bit.
My buddy attended a wedding a few months ago. His step daughter married the guy that worked on the matrix CGI team. Low and behold, who's a part of the wedding crew and sitting at his table? Adam. So they talk and my buddy tells me that they're still working on that album, gonna finish it up prob before summer. Then he told me something that was music to my ears. When they tour, he's gonna call his step daughters husband and get me some all access passes for the shows. It's good to have friends who are connected. Hahaha.

Nice, so Maynard is finishing up the vocals.
That's what I get out of it. He's so fickle though. Who knows? I think we're being strung along.

I think they're actually itching for a new album and tour. What else they doing besides making wine and babies? But this will be the last album no doubt and then they'll either be like pj and play couple weeks a year or fade away. Either way sucks lol

Each to their own... but Sober ranks around #45-55 for me in the Tool catalogue.

I'm frustrated with these guys.
You lucky bastard!
Thanks for the inside scoop.
