Apparently Danny's on vacation in Hawaii, according to a recent post by Blair.

Nope. Blair's latest post = next Tool album to be all Jimmy Buffet covers. Bank on it.

Good, he deserves a break

Weird. Â Jimmy Buffet is Maynard's safe word. Â

... I have said too much.

How many vacations in Hawaii does that guy need?

His day job of "jamming" (pffft) in the loft, smoking dope and eating Taco Bell can't be THAT demanding!!!

Further confirmation that Tool IS the LAZIEST FUCKING BAND ON THE PLANET.

They're done writing and will be in the studio soon. I'd say around April. 2014.

I think Blair's post clearly insinuated that the band has moved jamming/writing/arranging sessions to Hawaii. He did mention some other time that they had previously considered going somewhere exotic to inspire them while writing.

In my opinion, this isn't s a good sign. This kind of thing usually means a band has run out of good ideas and aren't inspired. Oh wells

what's with Blair's new post? is that sarcasm? hard to tell anymore. it's one of two things, he's either calling bullshit on Tool for trying to finish this new epic track but instead taking another vacation to Hawaii (which make no logistical sense being he exclusively blogs for the band) or two, the instrumental portion is tracked already. which would be incredible. thoughts?

My Blairspeak decoder says the writing/arranging for that tune is done.

I agree with this.Â I'd guess Danny's vacationing because they're about to be busy for a while.Â Or just because he can.Â If I could I would too.

They probably finished that epic, three piece tune like DRT and needed a break before pounding out another. who knows though. Hopefully their done with it all. I would like a nice tropical tribal feel to a tune though!

Chances are he was just there for the weekend, and it has had exactly no impact on the new record.

Ravenpig · Post by **Ravenpig** » Tue Mar 12, 2013 3:28 pm

Yea it feels like Blair just trolling while still hinting at some actual information.Â I don't know, Whatevs.

Yeah until you hear "they're entering the studio TODAY," that's the best attitude to have.

Danny is a fucking giant! Cool I'm really excited if Blair isn't being sarcastic. Sounds like the new album should be stellar.

MOG · Post by **MOG** » Tue Mar 12, 2013 4:17 pm

How many fucks do I give about the latest update from Blair?

Zero.

How many fucks do I give about the Opiate re-release printing?

Zero.

How many fucks do I give about a video for The Pot?

Zero.

Precisely how pathetic is it that it is going to end up being well over 8 years between albums?

Incalculable.

That fact that you post about them indicates you clearly at least give one fuck about each of these.

Honestly I dunno dude.Â I might wait until I get some feedback from you and others.Â Joking and trolling aside, I really won't give the Tool fellas a dime if the album isn't solid.Â If they release an album full of The Pot-esqe tunes, then no.Â If yourself and others, people who's opinions I respect, speak highly of it, then I will purchase it.

I'll be pirating it.

If it hits the spot, then I'll buy it.
