Mid 1990's May Jay realizing that early 1990's May Jay was just too damn righteous for his own good.

when you called the number, the song played on the answering machine.

This is a possibility, Poland's international number is 42

No it's not, when I call there it's 00 11 48. So the international calling number to Poland is 48.

From A Tool webcast just before Salival release

"B: favourite of your albums. we'l start with adam
AJ: adam doesn't have a favourite.
MK: Iced Pee.
DC: the next one
MK: it's an import, called iced pee.
B: mines the bethleham abortion clinic, but I'm just the host.
MK: maynard speaking, my second favourite record would be the bethlehem abortion clinic. my third favourite would be the collection of b-sides known as "crapsteaks smothered in dictators", and my very first, number one favourite TooL record: Iced Pee."

Interesting that Blair mentions Bethlehem Abortion Clinic again...

just caught up with this old thread. had no idea about the conspiracy surrounding aenima and this whole hidden track stuff.... i doubt its real. but who knows.

From this April's (2014) newsletter... I've cut out the bits I find interesting...

"Another area seemed more promising. Here there were cartons of discontinued tee shirts, damaged vinyl, CDs, DVDs and other long-forgotten items of merchandise. Along with other Tool produced odds and ends, there were several gold and platinum record award plaques (still in the boxes) that, for whatever reason, the recipients had never received. Most desirable of all, however, was a certain item that contained the ultimate Tool hidden track - the song entitled, "Problem 8: The Riemann Hypothesis."

And although we never did find the ellusive artwork, walking through the "museum" gave me an idea for a Tool Newsletter: Why not post an interview with "Merch?"



BMB: I know that there is a Tool 'repository' that contains all kinds of stuff, including video props, discarded gold and platinum record awards, merch proto-types, etc. If an avid collector of Tool memorabilia were to have his or her choice of one particular item there, what do you think it would be?

MERCH: There are lots of really cool things there, but with the "Opiate Priest" statue now elsewhere, I would have to go with the thing that has the hidden track called "Problem 8."



BMB: Why hasn't anyone discovered the Tool hidden track entitled "Problem 8", and posted it all over the internet? Similarly, do you think anyone will ever figure out the secret placed in the insert containing the spoof catalog in Tool's import of "Aenima?"

MERCH: I don't think we're supposed to talk about that. Would you care for a cool glass of purple Gatorade?

BMB: Thank you, and that purple Gatorade is pretty good... even though it has slight taste of Pine-Sol...



SELECT MERCH FROM THE TOOL MUSEUM

To go along with his interview in the newsletter, "Merch" will be adding a very limited number of some rare, discontinued items in the Tool stores. This will include vintage shirts such as "Pillhead" and "Holy Reality" to name a couple. Also there will be a few Salival box sets, signed Lateralus vinyl, old tour posters, autographed drumheads, and anything else that he might dig up in the storehouse. So be sure to check back from time to time to see what he has added. And don't forget to include an emoticon of a smiley face...

I have a hunch that Merch is going to release something in the next few weeks via their online store that has Problem 8 on it... Who knows what that could be, but I'll be keeping my eyes peeled...

My guess is it doesn't exist. It's all a dumb joke we have been taking far too seriously

It could be all a joke but somehow I doubt it. Problem 8 probably exists and will eventually get released in some weird way. That'll probably be the curve ball. Perhaps it'll come out as one of the fake Aenima insert titles or something. Who knows. Anything at this point would be great.

If it's real, i mean Problem 8 track i hope it's an epic 10 min long song, not only something like LAMC or a crappy album filler.... if so i hope this is just a joke as previously mentioned by xZim3rx. Again we need to wait... that's a way to live for Tool fans right?... wait for live DVD, wait for new album, wait for a different live setlist... oh well....

I would imagine the band has a lot of "never released" b sides and crap that never made albums. Problem 8 seems to be something different since it has been teased/hinted at/blatantly admitted to exist for so long. Most likely a jingle they did for Kraft or Budweiser that now cannot be released due to a violent trade mark dispute. That dispute being the problem. Or they may have made like Charlie from Always Sunny and "8" the contract and now have no proof they are allowed to release the song.

Tools 5th album will come out in 6 years, and be called 7th side and feature Problem 8.

5678.

Newsletter from Dec 2007, Blair mentions two tracks from the "albums" in the Ænima catalogue

I can tell you that the unanimously agreed upon set list for the first performance is as follows:

OVERTURE
THE GRUDGE
STINKFIST
CRAWL AWAY
ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION
(from “Bethlehem Abortion Clinic”)
ROSETTA STONED
PUSHIT
(Salival variation)
EULOGY
PARABOL/PARABOLA
VICARIOUS

INTERMISSION
(featuring self-pheonisme music from enhaloed-phosters
in the audience without a letter J in their name)

BALCHIPUSHTI
(from “Nurse Ketimella’s Kit*chen)
TIMMY
DISPOSITION
REFLECTION
TRIA(X)

LATERALUS
OCELLUS FRONTIS

FAAIP de OIAD
(Performed as a hidden live track on Danny’s orichalcum drum kit
with parasemiotic glyph sample-triggers designed by Vince De Franco)

Pre-sales for this show and the second 0-1Notnanas show (on the intercalary) will go on sale Thursday, Anuary 17th. So be sure to bring your cameras, video recording devices, cigarettes, oints (but NO lighters please – “Beam-Me-Up Scott” will light these with his lasers), and ToolArmy membership card for back-stage passes and the after-show extravaganza! You might also want to bring a green pen if you want Danny to sign the newly released live DVD (only in the ZPG Sector ruled by the anti-Pharzuph, that is.)

Notice that he mentions the Faaip de Oiad live performance that actually exists back in 2007.

http://www.toolband.com/news/letter/index.php?t=1&id=18

Yes and he is also making fun of a shit ton of other things Tool fans do and think. I don't even know where to begin. People actually tried to use their TA membership cards to get backstage. Making fun of TOOL fans who bring in recording devices, get high (smoke oints) and take photos even though the band hates it. Also BMB makes fun of those who think a Live DVD is coming out. It's one big joke on us all.

Whatever happened to the secret message in the 10k Days booklet? Anyone?

I always thought the newsletter was more for the members of Tool, not the fans.

The fact that you have to ask should indicate that that was a load of shit, too.

The secret message is that it would take those dudes in the booklet at least 8 years to make another album.
Problem solved.
