If one where to believe in a spring release, what could we guess as for winter and spring timelines with announcements, singles, advertising, releases? What have the timelines been in the past?

Sounds like even the tracks have been placed in proper order for the album?

We have seen this steel slide guitar a few times on Adams social media. I’m assuming it will be featured on the new album somewhere.

Why doesn’t someone ask how many songs are on the new album? Or hey, do you think we could hear a new song, jam, riff, intro? I’ve been surprised at the lack of questions about the new album, there is still a ton of speculation, and now actually opportunities to confirm.

What time does this clinic start and end? I want some details!

Good to hear! I know they switched studios and all, but that seems like a long time for Danny? I kind of thought they were farther along. Still good news. Maybe they are just really taking their time because they know Maynard isn’t available for a good while? I have never subscribed to the double al...

Agreed. He has actually done a lot to stay available. He could have quit and not started side projects, but other full time endeavors. Honestly if I was him I probably wouldn’t have waited so long. So I’m happy he has. He’s also not stupid, he’s older and Tool will be what he’s remembered for.

Recently spoke with someone moderately close to the band and they shared some information with me that seemed interesting. No way for me to prove any of it but i will share the jist of our conversation. We started talking about the upcoming "VIP" shows with the band. It sounds as if the p...

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3jaxcc3cEI&time_continue=1 I hadn’t seen this. Evil Joe seems like a very cool and interesting dude. It made me like and respect him even more, and happy he’s involved again. I like his experimental side, like a young kid still very much involved and evolving at hi...

Awesome! Can we please not shoot down a new tune Live already. I’d at least like some hope for it!

The album release date has been talked about ad naseum, but now that we finally have some sort of concrete ideas of recording this month. When could we realistically expect the first single to be released? That should be a hell of a day. Finally a full new Tool track!

I’m aware. That’s why I’m saying certainly now there must be something to work with after he worked hard and so long with nothing.

I actually feel bad for Blair. It’s weird how silent he’s been. There is Finally something to write concretely about and add cryptic interest for the future, and we haven’t gotten a newsletter in how long? He kept a lot of interest going with years of not much to work with. Come out of the shadows B...

I honestly care less about an albums physical look. Who does anymore? Sure it would be nice if it was cool. Alex Gray could certainly offer something new and interesting. I wouldn’t mind a different direction though. My thing is, the album work, seems to seep into the live shows, which is more impor...

Hasn’t Adam stayed at VIP events that they are trying to release everything digitally I’m commection with the new album? It would seem dumb to finally not do that. It’s certainly where the industry is.

Someone suggested to me privately they thought maybe Rammstein, who are in the US at the same time. That'd be great, but not sure their stage productions would be compatible. I could see that. They wouldn't need stage production if they just came out for a song and some pyrotechnics, which would be...

I'm sure they will all get on stage and jam together. Pretty cool. But I'd rather see a new song or jam or good set list personally. Three guesses for the special guest. 1) the newly retired Undertaker 2) Paul damour 3) and most likely the most accurate, Bill manspeaker and green jello, given his re...

Yeah. I take it back. More likely they mistakenly booked too big of a venue, and now need to hype it with a photo to try and get a return. Hopefully we all get something worth while at these shows though. I'm never good at not looking at set lists.

Seems odd? Also it being the last show. Are they actually pulling something off here?

Yeah thanks for the insight Junior. Very cool. Good to know they still keep you on your toes. Good luck with the coming tour. I can't wait to get back in the same venue with all you guys.

Hopefully slightly higher and not directly behind us, since the laser platform would block your stage view. They tend not to sell the obstructed seats. I don't recall them playing that catchy tune in my time (the past 20.5 years), but I'd heard it in soundcheck some time ago.[/quote] No, not directl...

ZANG!

Chicago should get two shows! Greedy I know.

Actually did alright with tour tickets. Seemed like they got the bot situation under control a tiny bit. Last Januarys tour was a nightmare. Excited for a Chicago show, its been Way too long. Got a nice 100 level seat right behind Junior for optimum sound! They should do a standard two song change, ...
