It’s on like donkey kong

Thing is.... they were crushing Invincible and Descending by the end of Euro tour. The mastered bootleg from Lexington - only the 3rd time both songs were played live - is amazing quality. The visuals were on-point - remember the pyramid red lazer heptagram/pentagram shebang? - it's all there ready ...

The gong must be frustrated

Fair. No Descending is a bit of a head scratcher.

Not a fan of that setlist. Too safe Yah agreed. FI to begin, Invincible + Pnuena middle, Descending to end 1st set, CcT + 7empest encore was my bold prediction. Way off. Was looking at tix for united center but tbh if this is what the next few setlists look like not sure it’s worth the trek. Will s...

I'm stateside atm and heard a radio edit of Fear Inooculum in an uber on local radio - it's unrecognisable and kinda nauseating they can do that to a song like that

Chris Jericho interviews AJ just got published - "Tool guitarist Adam Jones makes his podcast debut right here on TIJ! It’s a first for Adam, a first for TIJ, and it’s loaded down with amazing stories about the early days of Tool, the new studio album “Fear Inoculum” (the band’s first in 13 yea...

I was a bit meh with Invincible when I heard the recent US tour recordings for the first... idk... 10 listens? then one listen again and it did a total 180 on me - same thing happened with FI single - I'm pleased to read on the Reddit threads how this 'awakening' thing happened to many others. So w...

'Now we have a piece of the puzzle, the album’s sprawling title-track, what does it all mean? Obviously, this monolithic musical maze makes much more sense in the context of its reverentially long home, with the on and off ramps to its preceding and subsequent tracks painfully crafted to perfection,...

Srry if raised on other forums already - cant paste link atm but the kerrang review posted 22ish hrs ago claims fear innoc the song is the middle of a trifecta on album... anyone else read that? Makes a lot more sense in that context with the eastern intro a la Reflection and holding back a bit on c...

What time should we expect to have the pre-orders go live? I want to know this. If there's some kind of limited edition, I need to know what time it goes on sale. Especially if it appears overnight like most Tool news does (for me) these days. A ToolArmy pre-order link for any limited edition versi...

That "CCTrip" which is essentially a drum solo is being considered one of the seven "tracks" is disappointing. Six songs total is rough.

...something might Emerge from it?

FWIW
He's posted quite a few of the sculptures he did for various vids recently

I guess this lays the rampant speculation over the reasons for the haircut to rest.

Although now that I think about it.... isn't most of the revenue going to the record company anyway, and touring is really where bands financially do their best? Either way, I appreciate the effort made with their packaging/art.... ill fitting socks/unsold t-shirt quilts. Yeah and I wonder who's st...

Lenticular packaging onwards always struck me as a deliberate incentive in some measure to buy the album vs whatever other means was around to skittle revenue - casette dubbing, CD writing etc. Although now that I think about it.... isn't most of the revenue going to the record company anyway, and t...

Dude posted this on Reddit just before - I'd forgotten about it - it's different from the promo of similar length used for the music clinic advert, which is essentially the Descending we've heard now. Bleeds (bleeds?) well into beginning of Descending. Seems to be more than a jam or part of an evol...

Sydney, April 24, 2002: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1DZFd1ncvw Flood into The Grudge... we got the same thing two nights earlier in Brisbane. I'm just so glad this clip lives on in YouTube. Yeah man I only discovered this about 18 months ago, made my day. Took me back to the night remembering ...

Whereabouts in Bali are ya headed? Is the whole trip already booked in or you're open to suggestio Vaguely planned. My uncle lives over there, and owns a couple of villas , so will be staying with him. We'll have a bunch of kids in tow, so unlike my last trip it'll be focused mainly on them - the u...

At the end of CCtrip Adam starts playing a new guitar piece as well. This turns into the extended Vicarious intro. But the drums plus guitar start to sound like a full new song. Yeah my thoughts too - at VIP they said CC trip would be on album, and now the little bits they play right afterward seem...

Alright last pic of me and stuff - Adi Granov VIP pin smashed into a Peak Design backpack my GF is ambassador for... and a piercing cause... it's cool. On a scale of one to good times, the last fortnight for me going to Vienna and meeting cool folk, traversing back via SEAsia to see family in a stup...

1:41:50 to 1:45:30 - this is after cctrip that I thought was new stuff when I heard it.

1:44:45 it gets a bit more body.

Have I been oblivious to the toolarchive updates that include this somewhere from previous tours?
