turns out i heard the new tool last night, and my reaction was a lot better than the first listens back in april or whatever. i'm still not digging it anywhere near as much 'aenima', which i completely agree is their best album by far, but it's better than i remember it being. 'jambi' in particular is a high point; wouldn't be out of place mixed in with their earlier stuff.

I blinked and missed LA tickets, much to my displeasure. (Unless there's seats still open for the 2nd night, which could be the case.)

secret code?

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Sunday, 13 August 2006 09:05 (nineteen years ago)

Neat technical article on recording the album.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Sunday, 13 August 2006 13:49 (nineteen years ago)

I think chaki is talking about how you can sync Viginti Tres/Wings for Marie and 10,000 Days together Zaireeka style to make a remix. I downloaded an mp3 of that and it sounds pretty cool.
some info here:

Unless there's more to it than that, chaki?

Any more secret code updates?

Still album of the year for me. Dear god I do love this band. Ended up relistening to all four full albums over Labor Day weekend.

has anyone else said the la-da-da-dee-da-da part on vicarious is fucking fantastic?

Yes. Or for instance when the whole band winds everything up perfectly on "Jambi" on the "I-might-as-well-be-Goooooooooooooonnnnnneee..." part (and, in complementary fashion, when Maynard returns suddenly with the 'shine on' bits).

No Opiate or Salival? I never did get ahold of a copy of Salival. Am I missing much, anyone?

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 02:11 (nineteen years ago)

Opiate doesn't do much for me anymore, title track aside I guess. It's too constricted. I do like Salival but it's a bit of a separate experience, and frankly it's definitely worth it for the DVD.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 02:22 (nineteen years ago)

*checks Amazon*
Worth $90+ used? I'll wait for a reissue with (hopefully) more than five videos.

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 02:31 (nineteen years ago)

Buh. I seriously hadn't realized it was out of print! (I guess now that I remember a bit more it was always supposed to be a limited edition.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 02:42 (nineteen years ago)

I'll download the live tracks and watch my Quay Bros. tape.

― Marmot (marmotwolof), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 02:43 (nineteen years ago)

It could be re-released on December 31st, apparently. (but is that PAL/R2 or NTSC/R1 or no region?)

― StanM (StanM), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 09:14 (nineteen years ago)

It appears (toolnavy forum) that both the US and Euro versions are going to be re-released around the end of December/beginning of January. But nobody's 100% sure, as nobody ever is with Tool.

― StanM (StanM), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 09:27 (nineteen years ago)

MANY tix still available to PGH date.
and they're playing a considerably smaller space than last time.
this time, however, i won't waste the money to see em.

when Fantomas blows yr ass off stage, ya might wanna think about the meaning of that...

― edde (edde), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:03 (nineteen years ago)

I HEARD THEY KICKED ASS IN BAKERSFIELD ALST NIGHT

― chaki (chaki), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:15 (nineteen years ago)

I believe it.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:21 (nineteen years ago)

i'll pass that along to the 2 people i know that still listen to them...

― edde (edde), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:42 (nineteen years ago)

Well boo hoo hoo. So you don't like 'em and some others here do. So what?

― StanM (StanM), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 16:53 (nineteen years ago)

Worst band ever.

― Stephen Bush (Stephen B.), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 18:10 (nineteen years ago)

Wow, that was useful! I don't know what got into me, being impressed by their music, lyrics and art like that. Thanks to your insightful post, I have now seen the light and will never listen to them again. Thank you!

― StanM (StanM), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 18:39 (nineteen years ago)

He has turned on th bright lights, indeed! Let us now listen to Interpol.

(I've only recycled my post from May 14th, 2006, don't worry)

― StanM (StanM), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 19:11 (nineteen years ago)

"Well boo hoo hoo. So you don't like 'em and some others here do. So what?"

don't cry for me, StanM! i'm doin just fine w/o em!
i FULLY realize that people DO ,not only, like em, but live/breathe/sleep/hypothosize/screw/eat cereal to em!!!

i simply don't see it...and man, i've tried.
lord knows, if one were to go by sheer volume of exposure, i should be a fan-o-matic. but, them, as with radiohead have not yielded fruits upon repeat ventures. they're all you, stanny boi!

― edde (edde), Wednesday, 6 September 2006 19:47 (nineteen years ago)

Salival has lots of great stuff on it. The live version of Pushit (now with haunting tablas!) is amazing, a great Peach cover that out does the original and of course, the hidden track "Maynard's Dick".

four months pass...

Launch Radio Networks reports: TOOL intends to record some dates on its next North American tour for a live CD and DVD, according to Harddrive Radio. The initial dates for the outing have been announced, with the first confirmed show on March 15th in Las Vegas. Although TOOL tapes all its live shows, drummer Danny Carey told Launch that the band doesn't want to release each one as groups like PEARL JAM have done. "I doubt if we'll go that far with it, but we'll definitely be releasing some live DVDs and specific concerts that we feel strongly about," he said. "I think that's just a cooler way to do it. Pick the best stuff instead of just flood the market with a bunch of mediocre crap (laughs). No one can be their best every night. It's great that people may want all that, you know, if they're real hardcore fans, but I don't know, I think quality rather than quantity is a lot more important way to go."

The stage production on the next TOOL jaunt will be "more intense" than the band's last trip, with computer animation and props possibly being included.

The band is supporting its fourth album, "10,000 Days", which has sold 1.4 million copies since arriving last May. The CD's next single is "Jambi".

TOOL is currently headlining the Big Day Out festival tour in Australia and New Zealand.

Confirmed TOOL North American tour dates:

Mar. 15 - Las Vegas, NV - The Pearl
Mar. 16 - Las Vegas, NV - The Pearl
Mar. 18 - Reno, NV - Reno Events Center
Mar. 20 - San Diego, CA - Cox Arena
Mar. 21 - Tucson, AZ - TCC Arena - REV
Mar. 23 - Albuquerque, NM - Tingley Coliseum - REV
Mar. 24 - El Paso, TX - Don Haskins Center - REV
Mar. 26 - San Antonio, TX - AT&T Center
Mar. 27 - Corpus Christi, TX - American Bank Center

Hmm, leaving the 19th open for an LA show, maybe? If not, I need to get to San Diego.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 26 January 2007 13:49 (nineteen years ago)

saw them two nites consecutively

well performed and tight, but it all seemed a bit poorly paced. wings I and II were the definite lowlight. nice to see that aenima and lateralus got a fair serve though plus, danny carey always keeps things interesting

This band's fans crap their pants over them ENTIRELY too much. Calling a bunch of average soulless radio grunge that all sounds the same "the best music they've ever heard"... that's too much.

― ilxor, Wednesday, 25 March 2009 05:43 (seventeen years ago)

well

yes.

but opiate and parts of lateralus are dope imo.

Man, this StanM character you've got on here is annoying.

― StanM, Wednesday, 25 March 2009 12:09 (seventeen years ago)

xxp: grunge?

― kingkongvsgodzilla, Wednesday, 25 March 2009 12:43 (seventeen years ago)

average soulless radio grunge that all sounds the same

I suppose this makes sense if you think all grunge sounds like "Spoonman"

― the call of the taint (HI DERE), Wednesday, 25 March 2009 16:36 (seventeen years ago)

i like tool, but i think the deftones have eclipsed them as my "thinking man's guitar center" band of choice

― stank pony (M@tt He1ges0n), Wednesday, 25 March 2009 16:55 (seventeen years ago)

i don't know why, i guess a slightly larger emotional range than tool, and chino's goth/new wave/post-punk vibe too

― stank pony (M@tt He1ges0n), Wednesday, 25 March 2009 16:56 (seventeen years ago)

Traitor oh wait. (Both bands are great.)

Bump for the Toolbaby.

That's a dope baby.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Sunday, 17 May 2009 20:31 (seventeen years ago)

Gonna try to see them when they roll through Austin next time.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Sunday, 17 May 2009 20:31 (seventeen years ago)

i hope they get back on the album bandwagon sooner than later. but i suppose another tour would suffice.

― borntohula, Monday, 18 May 2009 04:45 (seventeen years ago)

I think that's the only happy baby I've ever seen, no joke.

I can't speak for every Tool song, but this one is classic.

one year passes...

Saw them last night here in Sacramento: always surprises me how great Maynard still sounds, after 21 (!) years.

Jello Biafra's band opened (Guantanamo School of Medicine, I think?) - the drummer & bass player sat in for epic Lateralus session, which was pretty cool. Short setlist on paper, but they played for 2 and a half hours. Was a little disappointed at no Sober or Opiate on the setlist, but it didn't ruin my night or anything. As we were walking out someone was saying 'Wish Maynard wasn't hiding in the back in the dark'...and I thought, 'When is he ever not hiding?' I mean, even if he's up front, and he hasn't done that for a while I don't think, he's always in a wig or a catsuit or body paint. Oh and he was passing around a bottle of wine...guessing it's from the private stash, lol.

Honestly, as a concert venue Arco arena is a smoking crater of suck. Acoustics in there are awful.

― VegemiteGrrrl, Wednesday, 14 July 2010 17:30 (fifteen years ago)

He wore huge bunny slippers here in Austin a few weeks ago. And drank a bottle of wine by himself.
