Puscifer are great live. I'm not a huge fan of their albums (Conditions had some great stuff) but live it all seems to work really well. Maynard seems much more into it as well. He spoke a lot more freely and really seemed to enjoy himself. Carina is total babe town. I'd recommend checking them out ...

I got only so far but the translation I got was "I've given you information, stop complaining!" and "I'm an insider, so suck it". Except he's given us sweet fuck all apart from "a curve ball is coming!" and some tour dates after everyone else has them. Good job buddy. A...

I was about to say the same thing. Maynard doesn't say much, but when he does he's been the one to give us the most straight forward, honest info. He agrees it's taking an awfully long time and that they're very, very particular in their process. He has told us time and time again he was yet to hear...

Looks like Maynard poured some cold water on the news.

Segues from Lateralus got the chop according to Danny due to time restrictions. I'm almost certain they could do another Salival II with leftovers we haven't heard which I would love.

The isolated tracks for Schism, Parabola and Vicarious are all from Guitar Hero. Look up any of the songs that were in those games and someone has uploaded the individual stems to youtube. This is so that when you're in practice mode in the game you can hear more clearly what you're playing. I don't...

It's very clear Blair isn't kept in the loop regarding the bands news given we've seen in the past the Tool site is one of the last to confirm things like tour dates and etc. He's mentioned in the past that the band never wanted the site to be solely about them and let's be honest, it barely is. Eve...

Jambi sucks. And I wouldn't mind some middle eastern influences. But as others have said it's a working title for what is most likely an instrumental. Having seen the work titles of other pieces it's hardly a worry. Bands generally name them something stupid and memorable to easily recall. Hell, reg...

This months newsletter doesn't really say much. The second long song they're supposedly working on gives me hope that it might be a double album like others have suggested. God that would be good.

I think Chevelle used Baressi on their latest album as well that was released this year too.

Either joeypants is not so good at sarcasm, or he's very good at it... I'm the foot-fuckin' master... Also, and this is just my asinine opinion, I feel like 98% of the people who bitch about Joe Baressi's work on 10K Days (specifically with regards to the "clipping" comments) only say tha...

Wouldn't we all. Yes, I speak for everyone. At the very least, you're speaking for me. I would much prefer Bottrill. Lateralus just has some much room to breathe whereas 10,000 Days everything is just crammed with the volumes jacked up damn near clipping levels. I'd bet my bottom dollar that they g...

The chats around the Lateralus period weren't bad. I didn't fancy that one much. The 10,000 Days one was a waste of time as I recall with the bands complete disinterest in doing it blatant.

That's the one I was referring to. For some reason it was embedded in an excel file way back when I first got my hands on it. Definitely nothing to get excited about. As I recall that chat itself blew chunks as well.

During one of the chats prior to Lateralus being released, there was an excel file that if you dragged into winamp or any other media player at the time, a very brief jam consisting more of Danny than anything else would play. I'm not sure I still have it but I'll check when I'm home next. It really...

I don't believe the whole Problem 8 thing is real. I'd love to hear a left over Aenima track but if anything I'd bet it's just an unfinished jam at best. Much like the one buried in the excel file a few years back prior to the Lateralus release. Another Salival type thing would be great. Some b-side...

Freese seemed pretty bitter when he announced he was leaving APC. I believe he mentioned he wouldn't be playing with them again ever. Billy later came out with a comment talking about commitments and how they would always have people ready to step in. From that it doesn't seem far fetched that Frees...

That Faith No More poster is great. Very Tool-ish. I'd like to see Adam do more art for the album and etc himself this time round.

I think it was Justin or it might of been Adam that openly admitted they'd had a bad bout of writers block ages ago. I think they're saying that the lawsuit might be part of the issue and perhaps weighing on them mentally. As for the metal thing, I remember Danny saying before 10,000 Days he felt li...

I think he knew full well the intended use for the said art, but when the band blew up (as they did around the Aenima era) and the money was flying in faster than it could be spent he wanted more. They told him no, here we are.

Basically Tool and Cam had an oral agreement about his works being used. No written contract was ever in place. He was paid for these to be used. However, he feels they were used far more than he was led to believe they would be. E.g. Shirts, Keychains, Posters. Three pieces of art were never physic...

Are you a Buckethead fan by any chance Mog? Dude is dropping 20 plus albums a year. and what's wrong with Buckethead? Nothing at all. Mog just seems overly concerned about how much material a band releases. Buckethead is the most prolific I've ever seen. I'm a big fan. Some of his newer stuff is am...

Are you a Buckethead fan by any chance Mog? Dude is dropping 20 plus albums a year.

Maybe, just maybe the band decided that the band shouldn't be their entire lives and just a part of it. While they haven't released any new music in a while they've still toured plenty and probably have other interests in their own personal lives. They don't owe you. You yourself chose to purchase w...
