I think it's non-news. Tool may to something with VR one day, but I doubt what happened in NYC was anything more than a tech demo. In Tool-speed it'll be another 30 years before we actually get to see it.

I was thinking it might have something to do with Alex Grey's Entheon Project. Possible that he'd set up a VR experience in the museum that visitors can participate in/with.
Jimmy Chamberlin shared a photo of himself backstage with Tool drummer Danny Carey at Tool’s show in Chicago at AllState Arena on Thursday night. Chamberlin wrote, “Hanging with my good pal #dannycarey – #Tool shredded the #allstatearena last night. Was an incredible show.”
- You like noisy music?
- Yes. The louder the better. Stops me from thinking.
- You don't like to think? What do you like?
- Never thought about it.
1. The show does have an earlier start time, kicking off at around 2 p.m. to accommodate the eclectic mix of performances and Jones did note that, of course, Tool does have a couple of things up its sleeves to share exclusively with its hometown crowd.
2. The band has been playing one new song out on the road called “Descending,” though the track has certainly morphed and been added to in a variety of ways since it debuted in the set back in 2015. Jones said that the band has been incorporating several bits and pieces of new material into its live sets via a series of jams. "The best way to explain it is that it’s like when a new movie is coming out,” he explained. “It’s a really anticipated movie, so the first trailer is really obscure and you’re like ‘Wait, what?’ That’s what we’re doing. We took the song that is finished, it’s called ‘Descending,’ and we just took the most obscure bits and put it together to give a little taste of what’s coming.”

That first part is very interesting. I'm not going to get my hopes up too much. But it is very interesting to hear him say that they have something special up their sleeves.
I realise that at this point it is completely laughable to entertain such silly ideas but man it would be awesome if they were surprising the world by hosting the worlds largest listening party by debuting the new album in full followed by a set. Silly I know but well deserved to be treated to a surprise like that after all these years.

Yeah, it won't happen. Reading between the lines in that AJ interview suggests the album certainly isn't done (no surprise there).

I really dug when Porcupine Tree toured before recording Fear of a Blank Planet, played the entire album as it was then and refined it as they toured. Then they recorded it with all the feedback and experience of having toured it. Great idea. Tool would never even consider doing that.

In a perfect world where a billion versions wouldn't be on YouTube first... they would. All things considered, I'd rather it were how it is. Sucks but... price of technology today.

Probably not anymore, but they did do that with a number of songs that ended up on Aenima.
Busty McCracken wrote:Maybe they should do that again seeing as aenima is a masterpiece and all that.
I do recall that they played eulogy at alternate nations in aus before the album came out
Danny talked about this years ago, and said they'd love to still do that, but they just can't anymore. It would be cool for sure. I loved hearing Descending at the shows I've been at where they played it. Also excited to hear it in a new context whenever that happens.
Personally, I'd much rather hear the new album in it's recorded form, rather than via live shows. It's nice to have Descending in the set, but when it comes to new tracks - give me a proper recording or don't play it. I'd rather that be my first experience than a Youtube recording.

Agreed. I have zero interest in hearing in concert an unreleased song regardless of what band it is. I'll take a deep cut over it anytime.
