    Is there a forum or Facebook group out there for Tool that is active at all? I lurk Reddit once and a while but even that is very slow and I have yet to find a good Facebook group similar to Pearl Jams. Anyone have a link to a site that is at least somewhat active?

    Seeing this thread bumped made me think there was good news, but back to waiting again. Still hope they add some dates around those two festivals this summer.

    So there is no active group/forum out there for Tool? I find that really surprising with new news or not.

    What is it you seek to discuss?

    Lyrical interpretations of The Grudge? I'm not sure I can help you with that one. What the hell is that unreal song about?

    ^^^

    Brilliant lyrics though eh?

    Some great interpretations. I've read some others as well. I'm not totally sure myself after having my initial thoughts out to question by some excellent analysis on the part of others.

    Tool. The thinking man's band.

    Love 'em. I'll keep waiting for the next album as long as it is on par with the others.

    I wish I had a transcript of an old MSN Messenger discussion I had with a friend of mine regarding The Pot. We dove so deep into the lyrics of that song that we began confusing the living fuck out of our own selves.

    46 and 2 is pretty deep as well.

    Lateralus? Ride the spiral to the end we may just go where no ones been!

    * The spiral has kind of slowed down a bit. A local show or... of course... a release would get that thing spiralling again.

    Maynard is in his 50's and just had a hip replacement done and I think they could STILL do 20-30 shows a year.

    Danny constantly does shows, so yeah, I'd like to see the damn ball rolling.

    I would love to here some deep cuts and ridiculous drum fills and time changes...

    46 and 2 and Lateralus are awesome. That ending on Lateralus still gives me chills. You can feel that song.
    It's a hopeless situation...

    I need a girlfriend so I can see Tegan & Sara. I've been wanting to see them for years, but I'm not going with a dude friend, and going alone might be even more weird than that. I went to see Kacey Musgraves by myself and I swear to god everyone that walked by me gave me weird looks.

    Stalker!! Did you have security watching your every move??? :rofl:

    46 & 2 is the song that I have always given to people to listen to that have never heard of Tool. Love that song.

    Also it looks like Chance the Rapper is going to be the headline on Friday May 26th for those that are going to Boston to see Tool leaving Saturday or Sunday for when they are going to play. I have a wedding Saturday night that I have to go to so fingers crossed they are playing Sunday like the are with the Governors Ball.

    Is it finally happening and if so how far out are we from a new album? I would love to get a new song or two at Boston Calling.

    TOOL MOVES GEAR INTO NEW SPACE - MAYNARD WORKING ON VOCALS
    In speaking with Danny last night, he told me that the band has temporarily MOVED some of their gear into a larger space (across town) where MAYNARD is working on VOCALS for some of the new Tool material. I'm sure that he has already been doing this to some extent, but now he has more room to breathe and a better vocal booth.

    You beat me to it! I just saw this, and it's good news for sure.

    They debuted a new instrumental "Descending" at the Monster Mash in '15, I wouldn't be surprised if they play an updated version of that in May.

    Who knows? More than anything, I hope they get at least a good 90 minutes @ BC (which I think they will).

    Did you buy a weekend pass, or are you holding out for single day tickets?

    Ya I am holding out. I would love to go to all 3 days but my wife is in a wedding on that Saturday. Right now there is a 50/50 chance that Tool is playing on Sunday fingers crossed with Chance confirmed on Friday. Are you going?
