Random Tool Social Media thread

That was a really weird argument.

Yeah, true.

I was just trying to point out that in a real life situation, this wouldn't persist. It's unique to web/forum/online interactions, and getting a little unhealthy.

It's not like I don't get where Mog is coming from (I do, and definitely agree on some level). It's that it's been beaten to death and I don't see any value in it anymore at this point.

Even this kind of exchange has been beaten to death. As I'm typing this, I have deja vu....

Instead of a "rock star", Maynard is now your personal friend, somebody you are tight with.
He's working on various things, one of which, in particular, you have been waiting for him to finish, but it's taking him quite a while to complete.

Now, imagine having a conversation with him face to face about it.

You could let him know the wait is pissing you off, and you think he's lazy, etc. He would give you his reasons, and you would either accept them and move on, or maybe you would go your separate ways. Extrapolate that for the other members of Tool, whatever....

Bottom line / TL;DR: The relentless way you're obsessing about this whole thing is not good for you, and it's obviously rubbing most forum members the wrong way (even those who pretty much agree with your basic argument). You may consider just letting this shit roll off your back and focus on the non-Tool related aspects of FourthEye, which you've said is the reason you're still participating here.

Unless you relish the negative attention, in which case: bummer for you.

Anyway, just my $.02

As of the last newsletter that "world famous multitasker" was hard at work on a new, "complex", Tool song.

Danny in Hawaii.

Maynard at Wrestling Practice.

Adam ready to give birth.

Justin doing god knows what.

Yeah hard at work finishing up that new album.

Pathetic.
Doesn't Justin own a record store in UK with his wife?

Ah, the old psychological test aspect. Certainly has highlighted mental illness in a certain forum member for me.

They used to run a store in Topanga some years ago, but that closed down not long before the record industry (at least as far as physical media is concerned) collapsed.

Was looking through Adam's Instagram posts and I noticed that Danny has an account as well, though it's set to private.

Yes, I'm being lame. I'm procrastinating on my studies for finals.

Old news. I think I pointed that out like 6 months ago.

Or maybe I just noticed it and didn't point it out...

I'm reasonably comfortable the dates are legit, just would like something a little more official before I post them too widely. Chatting with BKGG and she seems pretty happy with the legitimacy of them, so I'll probably post to the blog shortly.

Sylvia Massy:
Hey Tool fans, I just uploaded a bunch of photos from the "Undertow" sessions for my new website:
http://www.sylviamassy.com/tool/
I'll be working on this for months to come so keep checking back for more as I build the site!


Looks like a bunch of screenshots from the 'tool in the studio' videos, but top marks for trying.

You are correct.

Reading between the lines a bit here suggests to me that something is going on in regards to Undertow (something that probably won't surprise many of us). No surprises that Sylvia would be involved, as she produced the album.

Yes, I imagine we'll see a reissue of each of their albums as the appropriate anniversary passes.

Hopefully an Undertow one has more to it and the Opiate one. New artwork was nice and all but I don't think there's anyone here that didn't wish it had a bit more substance.

Just as long as it comes with more golden tickets with prizes that won't be revealed until long after everybody's already forgotten about 'em.

Opiate was basically just a little taste of what was to come with Undertow. Most of the material from Undertow had already existed at the time of Opiate's release.

Opiate was merely a way to show off TOOL's more hard-hitting, aggressive side to get their foot in the door so they could go on to create full-length albums. They pretty much used the b-sides from their early career to put together an EP in order to expand and create more music.

TOOL got into the studio strictly to record what was needed for Opiate. They got in, recorded what was necessary, and then got out. They even used a couple live tracks so they did not have to spend money on studio time. There was not any time to record any additional goodies that could have turned out to be bonus material.

So that means when Opiate was reissued/re-released, there would not have been any extra material added because during the time of Opiate's release, Opiate WAS the "extra material." Any music not used on Opiate, would have been used on Undertow. It makes sense that the Opiate 21st Anniversary release did not contain any bonuses or goodies since there were not any to include from that period in the first place.

Now, on the other hand, the Undertow Anniversary release might have a surprise or two in store for us "Toolios."

We will just have to wait and see...
