Well, I'm not surprised at all. Fuckin' clickbait, as expected.
- You like noisy music?
- Yes. The louder the better. Stops me from thinking.
- You don't like to think? What do you like?
- Never thought about it.

"tight"

Do these people even Tool? Probably still in middle school when 10K came out.

You all realize Danny is fucking around and having a big laugh about the "2018" thing, right? He has no idea when this is happening.

Is that new album here yet?

So Long, and Thanks for All the Tool.
Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
Not sure I agree. I think it's more just optimism, rather than "having a big laugh". I think the line in the Kerrang article is an indication he's starting to think it could be 2019 after all (but still hopes for 2018).joeypants wrote:You all realize Danny is fucking around and having a big laugh about the "2018" thing, right?

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
Multi-tasking is overrated. More than anything else, I'm concerned about Maynard's creative output with Tool after hearing his new material with APC. I'm not sure he should be multi-tasking between 3 or 4 different endeavors/projects at this point in his life if the end result of his lyrics and vocals are pedestrian. *Bigger concern than DC already back peddling on 2018 in January of 2018.

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
^ while it's his life and he can do whatever the fuck he wants, that is a very valid point.
There's only so much inspiration one person can have, the more he's spreading that out between bands the faster you would assume his poignancy would run out

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
Yup, I agree. Even if new Tool ever sees the light of day I’ve got low expectations at this point. Maynard is getting older so don’t expect the best scream out of him or his most inspirational lyrics ever to come out. I’m a big NIN fan but have listened to some big turds churn out from the Reznor/Ross camp over the past decade.
There seems to be a shelf life to bands and musicians, it’s a young persons game. Seems like everything that could be done has already been done.
That pessimism aside if there’s one band that can make another great/classic album, it’s Tool. Hope they pull it off.

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
Bach wrote over 1000 pieces in his lifetime. Duke Ellington wrote over 3000. I don't buy the idea that inspiration is limited.

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
Yeah but is Maynard / Tool going to be lauded over in 250+ years like Bach is? Can't say I've listened to any Duke before but I would be fairly confident in saying not all 3000 compositions were masterpieces?

Their “legacy” (if one wants to call it that) is cemented over some great albums during about a 15 year time period. If nothing else they have that.
Regarding the Bach post I’m sure it’s the same- time has been kind to him and if there’s some stuff that isn’t memorable, the stuff that is memorable outweighs it. (Hope that makes sense)

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
Nice troll Uke.
The reason that I stated my concern is that it relates to the article. The comment that Danny made regarding Maynard simplifying the new music worries me. It might be nothing! I am fully aware that the music behind the new APC songs are pretty yuck, but the lyrics are some of the worst I have ever seen from him. I wasn't a fan of 10,000 Days for a long time. The music was great (even though it sounded familiar), but the lyrics and vocals left much to be desired. That album has since grown on me quite considerably. Maynard stated that he had a difficult time coming in after the music to 10,000 Days was written and putting lyrics and melodies over it. It showed. He wanted more input for the follow-up. I still am of the opinion that more input is part of the long delay. I think it's quite possible that Maynard refused some of the music because it doesn't flow with how he is able to sing, now that he is older. Music has probably been scrapped because of this. I might have my concerns about how much Maynard has in the tank, but I still have complete faith in their writing abilities. Tool's musicianship can absolutely polish a turd. Here's to May 2019.

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
AS far as saying maynard doesnt have the voice he did earlier in his career; thats absolutely true. However, that doesnt mean we wont get some amazing screams and yells on a new Tool record. He just has to do it enough times to get it recorded... then they can post process the shit out of his vocals until they achieve a sound they like... And then he never performs them to the same quality live. Simple. Im ok with that. Get me amazing vocals on an album, and then skip the scream at live shows.

Having a lot to do might make the music worse but it could also make it better because he's doing it. Songwriting is a skill and it takes practice and work. If you stop playing your instrument for 6 months you can't expect to play as well as when you were playing everyday, it's the same thing with writing. You need to do it, in order to be able to do it well.
Bach is one of the greatest composers in Western music and Duke Ellington is one of the best Jazz composers and I think it's partly due to the fact that they would write a lot.

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
Personally, I took it more at a broad statement regarding Maynard's writing technique, not something specific to the next album. My take is that Maynard takes something that is complex, and the makes it seem simple with his lyrics.Bill Hilly wrote:The reason that I stated my concern is that it relates to the article.

Unless we think that Maynard's vocals on the next album will consist of "ooooh yeahs" and "alright!"

Some right-wing stuff would be so left field from them. Maybe an alt-right album cover? I hope this album is chock-full of little political puns and rabble-rousing anthems! Fuck yeah boys. Oh, and so many huge screams.

Can confirm it was the Grudge. I don't know about an extended ending, but maybe I wasn't paying attention closely enough.
