Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
On the blog I suggested "a countdown has started, and that we should expect something at the end.". While I expected a Salival or Lateralus post today, I'm not expecting new album news for a few days yet. I suspect Monday is more likely.rshforgothispw wrote: ↑Fri Jul 26, 2019 7:13 am Hellboy didn’t you say some sort of single would come end of week? What’s your thoughts on the fake countdown troll?
I also said "over the weekend" though I actually think Monday makes more sense in hindsight.
I'd add, I don't have any intel that outlines a specific date

Cool just trying to see what they are doing really. It seemed black and white for a quick second but then yesterday happened. Maybe they didn’t release anything cuz salival is next and it doesn’t count as a proper release. Who knows.
I think Adam putting this shit up is a total “I’m here on IG putting stuff up that isn’t what you’re all looking for” type of post
a lot of people pissed on reddit claiming lack of a proper marketing Dept but I’d prefer this tbh. You can see it’s Adam/Maynard on the social media accounts and I like the hands on approach by the band.
Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
Who knows indeed. The band made no claims regarding a countdown - that was entirely driven by excited fans. And even if there is a countdown, we're still 2-3 days from getting the new album.rshforgothispw wrote: ↑Fri Jul 26, 2019 7:38 am Cool just trying to see what they are doing really.

Any expectation the band were dropping a new album of single today were completely out of check
I think it is kinda quaint that the band is hands on with this, but I also think it's time for them to just get on with it. I don't see any upside in the current situation, for fans, band members, record companies or retailers.rshforgothispw wrote: ↑Fri Jul 26, 2019 7:38 am a lot of people pissed on reddit claiming lack of a proper marketing Dept but I’d prefer this tbh.

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
I’ve been “pissed” at TOOL a few times over the years but this Is Not The Time to be mad. I mean they have already “released” 24 min of new music and are For Sure dropping that Shit in let’s say 5 weeks! LFG!!
All well Whatever, Nevermind
Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
I completely agree with this statement. Well put.
I know the pieces fit, I studied the numbers in Southern France.
Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
Confirmed by adam that Shinn took the photo. Regarding the guitar....adam posted the same image to his IG page as well, not only the tool page. Adam added the caption:
"So excited Not officially official but *Good things happening at @gibsonguitar @gibsoncustom "
Sounds to me like he is finally getting his own signature model. He deserves it.
Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
Lateralus up!

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
The Shinn photo looks like Guitar World interview material. Next month or so we'll most likely get that, Justin in Bass Player, Danny in Modern Drummer.
Ahhh, Infotainment!
Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
My god, the excitement over these album postings! hahahaha christ, this band has done a number on their fan's minds. For real.
(but hey if it gets you off, enjoy)

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
Considering how little they have posted since 2006.......the excitement is 100% legitimate.
Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
Well it's a nice pic of Adam. They are definitely more comfortable with the spotlight these days. I predict a some kind of monster style making of dvd with this new album
Seriously though fuck Gibson. If their idea of saving a failing brand is suing everyone else who does it cheaper then they ain't getting a penny out of me. Don't get who buys signature guitars anyway? Is it a novelty thing?

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
Gibson makes guitars. Adam has played a Gibson guitar for 3 decades in a very high profile and successful band. Gibson is right to recognize him. If that means a signature model then awesome. Good for both of them.
People buy Jordan's... they are just a signature model shoe... do you feel the same way about them?
Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
The interest in a picture of the Lateralus cover isn’t about a picture of the Lateralus cover. Alas a moot point.
Maybe the “new logo” was a placeholder for 72826 and Adam was a placeholder for Salival, pushing the album announcement likely to Monday.
Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
Yeah I'm happy for him, didn't say I wasn't. As for the shoes, yeah I do actually. I find people spending a fortune on shit because it has a famous person's name attached to it insane. Life tip - buying Jordans doesn't make you like Jordan. So do you play guitar? Ever bought a signature model? Why?xZ1mM3r wrote: ↑Fri Jul 26, 2019 8:53 amGibson makes guitars.

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread
Because of the slipcover's translucence and the booklet's translucence (and for some reason no vector image just made of the slipcover for these purposes), Lateralus has always had a nebulous cover representation in marketing, bad scands of the slip, scans of the book without a logo, hodgepdoges with the logo on the book. Someone on reddit shared one they made that I absolutely love.
