Yep, was just thinking that...what a random way to announce their in the studio...

Maybe Maynard entrusts his wife with the plantation if studio time is imminent. The tipping point that something is really off in the Tool camp happened a couple years ago. I couldnt agree more with the tipping point comment. all is not well in the Tool camp and hasnt been some time i've feared. Of...

"its a bit intense for me" or "sounds like devil music"

various friends/work colleagues have said this to me over the years

Not really, he has mentioned Fourtheye on a few occasions. There was also that one time that he quoted Cheese in the newsletter. Something about a dick being on fire if I remember correctly. Good point. Apparently he referenced me calling Adam out for being a fucking dick out back in the day, too. ...

I know probably one person read the entire thing, but hopefully someone out there enjoyed reading it. As I sit here I realize I've spent a few hours writing this. Time to go get something to eat. Good read. I enjoyed it. I also read the whole thing. Loved it! Thank you for sharing your experience w...

Not convinced. I think his answer to album progress at spokane VIP was "we are working diligently" whats changed in two days?

fuck it!!! i msread that, you're right, that it seems to include the concert ticket too! The pricing will be interesting....

VIP Package looks exactly the same as for Aus/NZ tour WHAT THE VIP PACKAGES INCLUDE: - One (1) VIP ticket for admission to concert show - Entry for one (1) to the VIP area in the venue - Access for one (1) to sound check with members of Tool - Q+A session with Adam Jones - Exclusive merchandise pack...

So, you've been voting for Jones this whole time purely because he's in your favourite band? Not because you objectively think he is the best guitarist in the category? Gotcha. Ignoring dumbass TOOL fanboi: sequence initiated in 3 . . . 2 . . . 1 . . . WE ARE A GO. well no, just the first round if ...

i've watched this competition, with interest since the beginning. To be honest, i've been just as suprised as the next guy to see Adam advance further and further. i've been voting quite a bit since he made the final, and a mainly because he is in my favourite band, i'm not even sure he is my favour...

Adam Jones had NO business being in that competition to begin with. I respect what Adam does musically with Tool but the only reason he made it to the final is because fucking Tool fans are delusional. You'd have to be delusional to think that Adam is where he is in that poll because Tool fans thin...

i gotta say, i really enjoyed it. I agree with HB though, it would be much better live.

and, can you provide an example of it happening in one of their songs?

<t>inequitude said <br/> Not that I can reference this from any personal experience... but do you really think there is a strong distinguishable vibe that a band like Tool can measure when they're consistently performing every couple of days to 10k+ fans on a tour?

<t>NickTheGC said <br/> I still can't picture it in my head. Am I retarded? Was it one of those fist pumps where you punch the air?

yep the VIP experience was the real highlight for me. Couple that with the Bands reaction to their performance & the chest pumps Adam gave the crowd at the end of night two in Auckland.  It just reinforced to me where Tool are as a band right now, the furure looks bright...

<t>Haha - is that for real?<br/> yep, 100% real. Adam was chatting about how as a band they were slowly becoming more accepting of Social Media, and being more accessible to fans etc, and that it did have a downside, he used the example of guy that wrote insulting statements on his facebook page reg...

Not sure if anyone has posted this yet, but adam revealed at the first Auckland VIP Q & A that they had enough material for 10 songs and that they were still planning to get it done by end of the year....

<t>Fuck I wish I was back home for these shows, that crowd actually sounds like they're enjoying themselves unlike the boring bunch of fucktards we got in Melbourne, well on the first night anyway.<br/> <br/> The crowd on the second night, albeit smaller were much more vocal i thought. it was a much...
