tracking is basic sound recording before overdubs and the usual "magic" that is created during mixing. in other words. this album isnt even close to being done.

my guess is mid-2014.

<t>I feel bad for the fella that didn't get AJ's signature because that's what this really was all about.<br/> <br/> i still have the original vinly I bought way back when. had to laugh when a reported "fan" bragged about "rediscovering" Opiate. really??? poseur alert...<br/> <br/> the blank USB dri...

<t>@drury<br/> <br/> Flame wars with retards is well. retarded.<br/> <br/> I actually dont listen to NPR, just baiting you. and like a sucker you took it hook like and sinker. If I was in a famous band, and you weren't a loser with no $$$. I'd sell you an overpriced EP and an expensive Q&A with ...

<t>@drury<br/> <br/> please stop the false equivalencies at once. and NPR isn't propaganda. <br/> <br/> also bragging about your shotgun makes you a republican in my book. but it's not the issue here. lets get back to bitching about t00l!! <br/> <br/> hellboy. you've got a fine site here. in full di...

<t>this is kinda sad but not unexpected. lots of cheesie bands do this now... Mötley Crüe, Kiss. i can't remember if TR did this on the wave goodbye tour but he may have.<br/> <br/> t00l blew it up for a minute. all this band does these days is fleece fans and rest on their overrated laurels.</t>

what's Facebook? ha ha. don't have FB. never have, never will. is it true there is a "like" button, but no "un-like" button? I would imagine TA is a better barometer of fan base but that's just a guess.

<t>can't speak for anyone but myself. but I still buy music and lots of it. not sure if you're aware but the casual tool fan has moved on. I doubt anyone outside of the die hards even know about this. I hadn't been on TA in ages but did check out the reissue and pondered a purchase. the cost is abso...

<t>Ouch... Keep in mind. while a large figure. that sum wouldn't even cover their recording budget.<br/> <br/> But yeah. i'm generally with you. <br/> <br/> Also is this what passes for "bonus laden" these days? tool has jumped the shark and is giving me the sads. Oh well there is the new queens rec...

<t>I put zero value in it. it's nice and all as a fan but bands charging extra for a signature is really tacky.<br/> <br/> I got a signed Melvin's poster from their last show in SF.. it's got this rad upside down cross piercing goofys head. $30 bucks. buzz and co. and don't charge extra for the priv...

<t>fascinating read. it's nice to have actual news from the source. it's telling that they (AJ) are more involved in the business side of things. any guesses from folks as to what the opiate reissue will cost?<br/> <br/> I hope the issues noted were nothing of the health variety because that would r...

<t>I cant wait till they sell out in seconds. the tool site crashes.<br/> <br/> hellboy breaks in with an emergency post telling everyone to "stay calm". <br/> <br/> then reading 300 posts from people mad they didnt get one. l<br/> <br/> ike everyone else has noted its shaped vaguely like the saliva...

<t>opiate is a rad EP. and was my first introduction to the band. so on<br/> one hand I'm excited but tempering my excitement with a big glass of reality. tool has lately become the band that constantly disappoints. tired ass old website themed to an album released in 1996, dated repetitive art work...

<t>the EP isnt out of print and the vinyl can be found at most music stores easily. would be a lot nicer to have an aenima vinyl reissue. or (shock) a 10K days vinyl... if this story is true. it sounds kinda lame. but Mackie does amazing work with the Melvin's special edition vinyl so who knows how ...

<t>all this fighting amongst t00l fans is rad! it's like the good ol' days on t00larmy. im happy for Australians that never get to see them. as us Angelenos have seen them so often that we complain about repetitive setlists... there's going to be a big screen behind them. they're going to open with ...

<t>Ravenpig February 5, 2013 at 6:12 pm <br/> <br/> I’m guessing Smithers said that about The Fragile because of its weak sales compared to The Downward Spiral.<br/> <br/> <br/> not referring to sales. think anticipation..... and expectations. which over time grow, so that nothing can ever meet sa...

not hating on the fragile. Just using that a reference point. TR himself said the record was all over the place and hurt by the super long time he spent working on it. I personally love the fragile.

<t>I thought people were "OGT" on this site??? T00l has always taken forever to record. Adam and the rest write the music..... which May-jay then sings over. no music to sing over... no music to release. MJK is the only one out there working so naturally people ask him where things are at with regar...

Surprised there was no mention of the tool/RATM song (revolutionaries). not great by any means but interesting. I wonder if it was recorded around the time they were touring together.
