upcoming tool single

[Bogart]

well hopefully there will be a new single on the radio in the weeks to come, but would you want to hear it? personally, i would like to wait until i purchase the album and listen to it in its entirety w/o hearing any of the songs beforehand. so what do you guys think, will you be able to hold off or does it not matter?

[TurdEye13]

It will give us something more to talk about here!

HAHAHA!!!

[Jesus Knievel]

how do know there will be one out? YOU LIE

[clarity.]

I agree, I don't want to hear the single before I have the new album in my hands. I don't want any song on that new album to get overplayed for me. And plus, it's essentially a complete work as an album, so I'll wait to listen to it in its true form.

But I can guarantee I'd download it in a heartbeat if it leaked. What I'm saying here is like what those kids who can't get laid say about saving themselves for marriage.

[KJM]

what...

[Bogart]

will you listen to it? personally i am going to wait until the album comes out so i can listen to the whole album without having any preconceptions about their new music. so what do you guys think? when the tool single finally hits the airwaves will you wait it out until the new album arrives or does it not matter and you will listen to it?

[el rancho ovulate]

i can't really see how you're not going to listen to it.

[s ti N Kfizt]

Yeah i want that i'm not going to listen it but i certainly will do it..except if the album is surely coming out soon after the single.......

[Bogart]

i can't really see how you're not going to listen to it.
what do you mean by that, i rarely listen to the radio anyhow.

[Perseensilmä]

Where did you think that you could hear it? Kiss FM?

[LetTheRabbitsWearGlasses]

Of course I'm going to listen to it. If anyone here says otherwise, they're probably lying. I mean seriously, even if you don't listen to radio, there's still the internet, and you will succumb to temptation. *evil laugh*

[Kelly]

we have kiss fm in new york too

If there is a video, im game, if not i dont think i will.

[Perseensilmä]

wtf, are you from spokane? because that is a radio station here.

no.

I was talking to St i n k Z h i t. He knows what I am talking about.


Now I wonder why the fuck I had to use English to say something to him. Weird. Perkele.

[Isac Khrondor]

If there is a video I don't think i'd be able to avoid it, as I watch some music chanels sometimes.

It would be nice to hear it all in one go first, but what can you do..

[placidium]

I'm going to listen to it, and I'm going to shit myself because it will suck, the main phrase will be like "Will you Pry Open Your Turd Eye in Retroville!", and the rest of the album will be damn good in parts, especially one song called Beside You in Djembi.

[Tyson]

I'll listen only because I'll be trying to win U2 tickets or some cold hard cash.

[UtUmNo1]

I'll happily take either.

[Tyson]

Sorry, you were caller #5.

[Cylith]

personally i am going to wait until the album comes out so i can listen to the whole album without having any preconceptions about their new music.


This is my plan as well, but I may just hear it on the radio while I'm at the gym.

[clone]

Of course I'm going to listen to it. If anyone here says otherwise, they're probably lying. I mean seriously, even if you don't listen to radio, there's still the internet, and you will succumb to temptation. *evil laugh*

You asume too much. I will not listen to it, and I know i'm not lying because I did the same with schism and lateralus

You're an exception.

[Kelly]

do my childrens next party?

[Tyson]

Speak to my agent.

[Kelly]

Speak to my agent.

Utum?

[UtUmNo1]

I'm only his dominatrix.

[Bogart]

I'll listen only because I'll be trying to win U2 tickets or some cold hard cash.
u2 sucks

[Tyson]

It’s a band not a vaccum cleaner.

[Bogart]

It’s a band not a vaccum cleaner.
i didnt know we had comedians in the forum

[UtUmNo1]

i didnt know we had comediennes in the forum

Fixed.

[Wretched]

I would listen to it. I will not download the album if it is leaked, but I will however download the single. I find this gives you a general feel for what to expect, and it'll just get me more pumped. It'll rejuvinate my interest in the album back to full force.

[ATARI]

there is a KISS FM station around where I live to. WTF

[lachrymotion]

I suppose it depends on how early they release the single

If they do 2+ months prior to release...I'll probablly take a listen. If its closer to a month before the release...I'll just hold off

welcome to tdn lachrymotion

[s ti N Kfizt]

Where did you think that you could hear it? Kiss FM?
wtf.. this is an elaborate hoax and all of you are finns......
When it's in radio it's then in internet too.

It'll be shitty here in forums..... everyone of you will make own thread for the new single and 20 pages of shit... please don't do that..........

[moneyisevil]

When Lateralus was about to come out Tool released Schism in a mp3 format available on toolband....i d/l'ed it..burned it on a disc (yes just one track only schism) and played it over and over and over again!!!

i just couldnt get over the bass line!!! i thought it was the sickest shit ever!!

hoping tool will do the same thing again...

i know EVERYONE'S jaw is gonna hit the floor when the single is released

How long before the album did they release Schism?

[Tyson]

Schism made its world premier on JJJ in Australia, suck on that non-Australian waste.

[ATARI]

suc

[moneyisevil]

How long before the album did they release Schism?

i wanna say not more than a month

lateralus came out may what? May 15th, 2001 im sure around mid-april schism started being played

[ATARI]

I think it's standard for singles to come out around 2 months before an album is released from what I've seen

[moneyisevil]

i agree but i dont remember listening to schism for two whole months

maybe a little more than a month...

[ATARI]

Eh it was four years ago.
I mean back then, I hadn't even heard of Tool. :/

woooooooooooooo so u dont remember the anticipation and all that surrounded the frenzy

I had my clock radio cranked that day. :)

[triad636]

I had my clock radio cranked that day. :)
JJJ pwns, its probably the only radio station in the world that features tool as much as it does...

[FortySix&Two]

I don't see how I'd be able to avoid it, much less resist the temptation. I do have the radio on in the car a lot while driving, and it's bound to play at some point. Yeah, I won't be able to resist the tempation. I've waited this long since Lateralus, something's got to give. HEH.

[clarity.]

My friends don't listen to Tool.

[Tertius Oculum]

What. Listening to music? Absurd!

[TurdEye13]

In August's newsletter, Blair mentions to us that he walked in on the radio single as it was being perfected.

***A couple of weeks ago I went back to the studio after getting a call from Adam asking if I wanted to look at some photos he'd taken. When I arrived (with Rynne and the Lady in waiting female BMB), the guys were in the big room recording what undoubtedly (to me, at least) will be the 'radio' song. After sitting by the mixing console for over an hour, listening to take after take* (and with only a single beer in the fridge [sorry, Masa, was that yours?]), it didn't look like I was going to get a chance to check out the photos. After Justin commented that "the big room doesn't feel that big right now", the guys took a break so that Danny could listen to some things. It was now after hours (about 1:00 AM) but I finally had a chance to scroll through the photos on Adam's computer. After doing so, I went home. I assume that they eventually knocked out ** , getting it closer (the drums, that is) to way that it will one day sound like on KROC.***

--from August Newsletter

What does the ** mean? I guess it is the title to the single. Two letters?
Two numbers? I don't believe he is talking about the L.K. one from before, since that one supposedly is 15-18 mins long.



Any Thoughts?

He is referring to "LK"

[Perseensilmä]

Wow! So one the song is going to be played on radiowaves!

[clarity.]

A Tool single? Unheard of.

[TurdEye13]

He is referring to "LK"



He can't be. They won't play that long song on the radio! Why did he hide it with ** then if it is L.K., an already known title possibility.

[placidium]

I hope the single is the longest song on the album, uncut.

[rsh]

I hope the single is the longest song on the album, uncut.



why do you have a link to will sasso doing an arnold impression in your dane cook praise?

[triad636]

im pretty sure he is talking about LK.. and i hope, (although it may not happen)that the radio stations dont cut it down...

[ATARI]

I hope the single is the longest song on the album, uncut.

Well, the record company has just as big of a say in the single of the album as the band, and I doubt they would allow such a long song to be a lead single. Yes, I know about Lateralus being played on the radio and such, but remember that Schism was the lead single, and the only reason it wasn't edited down was that it wasn't a song where there was really any parts you could clip out easily without making it seen obvious. (Even the quiet part with the wah-wah solo has a certain continunity that would make it hard to do so)

However, a single is more of a record label and radio thing than anything else (a given of course) and there would be no way any record label that wants to go out and make a ton of money (AKA: every record label, even the indie ones. I'll pause a moment for your shock) wouldn't let the longest song go on the radio. Even if it is cut.

Think of D/R/T as on the radio. It wouldn't work would it now?


I know it was probably sarcasm, but I was bored so I figure why the hell not.

[placidium]

making 2 points.

[triad636]

making 2 points.
" i dont like it when the movie dune is in my chocolatey drink" - Dane Cook on nesquick powder.. dane cook is awesome, one of the top stand up comedians imo

[dilatedcrimson]

Maybe the album will be that morse code crap ... and the tracks will be called "*" "**" "***" and so on and so forth.

But that would be really dumb.

[cacophony]

I would love a longer song as the 'single'. After all it wouldn't be a singles. But it would be an awesome LONG video!

[clarity.]

Schism was pretty long, for radio terms. Almost 7 minutes. And the video had Mantra on it so it was longer.

Or did they cut it? I've only heard it like once or twice on the radio.

[BatterY316]

what is a single?

[Goldfoot]

what is a single?

Wow.

[SpiralOutKeepGoing]

what is a single?

I'm a single *unmarried*.

[eulogys]

WAAF here in the Boston area played the entire Lateralus (not all at once mind you) album on air the weekend before it was released. I'm hoping they do the same thing with the new one. Schism was released to radio stations 3 or 4 weeks before Lateralus came out. Lateralus was given to radio stations unedited with permission for them to edit as they wanted, the record label had no say in what was cut.

What does this all mean? Expect the single to be released up to a month before the album comes out, if you have a Real rock station in your area that gets the entire album instead of just the single, you might hear each song before the album comes out, and the record label doesn't really have all that much control over Tool's music.

thats is pretty badass, i wish lazer99.3 WCCC(106.9) did that, but WAAF did that, are you sure? i listen to that radio station a lot... it doesnt seem like they would do it, but, ill have to listen close to when they release it and see if they do it again, thanx for the heads up. :)

I don't want to hear the whole thing spread out like that. I want to hear it all at once.

[s ti N Kfizt]

No one wants that..... that would SUCK.

7-9 minute singles rock.

[LetTheRabbitsWearGlasses]

There should be 3 singles, each with videos that add 3-5 minute intro/prelude pieces (think parabol/a), and the videos only make any sense whatsoever if you've seen all of them. That would be sweet.

[killershears]

I heard Disposition in its entirety on the radio before...Just thought you should know...they didn't do R or T though.

[eulogys]

i listen to that radio station a lot... it doesnt seem like they would do it

I remember sitting in my truck on 5/11/01 smoking a joint on a break listing to the drums on Ticks & Leeches and saying HOLY SHIT.

I don't want to hear the whole thing spread out like that. I want to hear it all at once.

No one wants that..... that would SUCK.

If you don't want to hear it, thats your own personal view. There's this button on most radios that let you either change the station or turn it off. But to think that everyone wants the same thing as you do is preposterous at best.

Yeah, that's only my opinion, but i think that it's the opinion of the most other people too.
Of course i wouldn't listen to it from radio (finnish radio?) but those who listened it would just leak it and spread opinions and information about the songs and stuff.. i don't even want a single though it would ease the waiting.

*Stfu*

[Chaos Theory]

I don't want to hear a single taken out of the context of the album as a whole. That's how I heard Lateralus, and I preferred listening to Aenima as one whole piece.

[Hubbard]

wtf, are you from spokane? because that is a radio station here.

Have you ever left Spokane? I don't think I have been to a city that doesn't have a KISS FM.

[Tertius Oculum]

Uh, my city doesn't have a KISS FM.

[pornstarchampion]

Planetradio sucks ass and will probably never play it, so it won't matter for me

[Chaos Theory]

Uh, my city doesn't have a KISS FM.
Nor does mine.

[BreakX]

Or mine.

[Chaos Theory]

Things seem to be shaping up towards an ownage, target: Hubbard.

Never listen to it, top 40 crap

It is. I don't listen to the radio. Even Internet metal radio is usally crap.

[s ti N Kfizt]

Radio Ubik = good

[Bogart]

radio=shit

[metalforever]

kiss fm= shit

i do have some unknown local station that plays live tool all the time though

[ARMZ]

I'll only listen to it while I'm watching the music video.

[johnnyTrip]

radio=shit

yeah i dont even have my antenna hooked up in my car, its all mp3 cds for me.

but maine radio is very weak....we have a classic rock station that plays songs that were popular when they were new, and the hard rock station plays creed, mudvayne, and limp bizkit. The alt rock station that plays good charlotte and all the 5 hundred bands that are following in their footsteps. the station does have one dj that likes tool tho, but she plays sober, schism, aenema and thats pretty much it, i requested no quarter once and she said it was too long.

anyone have good luck with sattelite radio? ive been thinking about it

[ATARI]

I'm sure it works good, but you can get cds and don't have to pay a monthly fee to play them in your car, and unlike radio, it's ALWAYS what you want to hear (unless you have shitty cd's hahah)

[johnnyTrip]

I'm sure it works good, but you can get cds and don't have to pay a monthly fee to play them in your car, and unlike radio, it's ALWAYS what you want to hear (unless you have shitty cd's hahah)

I doubt anyone who is a member of this forum will be able to resist listening to the single once everyone starts talking about it.

anyone waiting to hear the album will be reading shitloads of reviews, lyrics excerpts, tabs, opinions on the new single

ACCEPT YOUR FATE.

what happens when you are at a restaurant or a store or something, and it comes on and you can't stop yourself from listening? Or what if you have the radio on and the song comes on and you try to turn the radio off but both the volume knob and the power button magically broke... and the power chord was completly seized up and you couldn't get it out of the wall... and the tuning knob broke so you can't change the station, and the seek buttons broke tooo....

and you gota locked in the room that you are in so you are forced to listen, and there is no window to jump out of and no pillows or earplugs or anything to block the sound... you can't even use your fingers because they are in your poccketd and your pockets have superglue in them...

I guess if that happens, you're gonna have to listen to the single...
i guess so, lets just say i wont go out of my way to hear the single

[MikeBalzary]

call me crazy. but i thought maynard said something about not having a single for this album. Something about not trying to cut the song down (time-wise). If no one else knows what im talking about im probably wrong. Im probably wrong anyway.

I don't want a single. That would be good.
Me neither..

If they had to cut it for time, then that means their most radio-friendly song should be a long, methodical, melodic song like Lateralus, or Reflection.

Sweet.

i dont know of many restaurants with tool playing the background. at least the local olive garden here doesn't anyway. it could be a regional thing i guess.


im waiting for the whole album. i dont listen to the radio, and im not gonna read about the cd beforehand.

[5th Eye]

If they release a single on CD before the album comes out...I'm going to buy it. In hopes that it will piss some of you off.

[Bogart]

that would be lame if they released a single on cd

They did that with Schism, didn't they?

Go to the Images section in TDN, then Album, and scroll to "Schism Promo Single."

[Unl1v3d]

I prefer to listen to the whole album instead of just one song.
Personally, i won't have the problem of listening to the new single in the radio, since i'm in portugal and Tool isn't a band that has a big reputation around here (the new hit in this country is D'ZRT, try to search for it in the google, it's a portuguese pop band which first single is a mixed beat of a song of Machine Head, it's fucking sick actually...)

Apart from a 1 hour daily broadcast, we don't get to listen to Tool in Portuguese radio stations... And even in that broadcast they only play the hot new stuff...
And about Dzrt, that band makes me feel ashamed of my country...
