New Toolband update. Nothing special.

[Goldfoot]

http://www.toolband.com/index_frames.html

I figured SOMETHING was coming when the main page was cleared out except the two birthday posts. I don't know what to make of this though.

[NWO SHILL]

I believe it is mayan, but I have no idea as to its significance. The "coming soon" has me intrigued though.

[MrMcPheezy]

Oh boy.

[awaking]

I just checked TA two seconds ago and it wasn't there. hah

I wonder if Mayans is part of the album, there was the whole date thing rumror with the morse code.
If they do go with a Mayan theme I can see them having an alaborate stage set up, with little men climbing up and down ropes just like the lateralus tour n osseus labyrinth.

or it could just be about some book or whatever ijynx is. check the url of the image

whatever the case it's early 06 somethings coming

[Tertius Oculum]

Elephtheria.

2006.

[Goldfoot]

Maynard often claims he is "giving birth"..

Yeah, when an album is being made. Maybe it's in it's final stage(s).

[LetTheRabbitsWearGlasses]

Ok, so we know...

- The thing means birth
- Maynard claims making his albums is like "giving birth"
- The thing says coming soon

So, the new album's coming soon. Pretty fucking simple.

[ATObassist]

i think the mayan theme will be big in the next album if this is a clue. there have been previous posts (maybe exerpts in newsletters, i cant recall) having to deal with the end of the worl being in 2012, which in part is based offf of the ending of the mayan calender. either that, or its jsut a piece of art work from one of the artists tool admires, who knows.

[Ocelot199]

It looks like a stupid piece of shit some retard made in remedial art class.

Who. The. Fuck. Cares.

The album will come out when it does. Fuck this bullshit cryptic crap.

[Tertius Oculum]

...

[Tertius Oculum]

It's probably for the Novedecuary Newsletter.

[fraz]

you know when they're fucking with us when they post stuff like that and take it off
fuckin' tools

[muloc]

its the aztec moon godess Coyolxauhqui which means "She of the Rattles on her Cheeks". She was also called one who "spoke to all the centipedes and spiders and transformed herself into a sorceress" or a "very evil woman". She was one of the major goddesses in Aztec mythology. In a mythical representation of the triumph of the sun over the powers of night personified by Coyolxauhqui as a lunar goddess, she is shown decapitated and dismembered after she was slain by her brother, the Sun God, Huitzilopochtli. Here, bells decorate her cheek, and in accordance with her ferocious image, she wears a skull on her belt and serpent armbands with claws attached.

[Ryan]

it seems like history is repeating itself. they're fucking with us at just about the same time as in 2001:

http://toolshed.down.net/articles/index.php?action=view-article&id=January_2001--CDNow.html

[muloc]

[Ryan]

Does that make me cool?

No, it doesn't.

[millermt]

It's a mayan tablet depicting a birth.

Maynard often claims he is "giving birth".

Probably a connection.

edit: I think it's Aztec actually...

It was actually a picture of The Coyolxauhqui Stone, which is an Aztec artifact depicting a dismembered goddess. You can read more about it here:

http://www.dellerae.com/tenoch/Coyolxauhqui.html

Think there is any significance to the fact it was found on February 21st (a Tuesday this year)?

Probably not.

This might be a glimpse of the new website, perhaps? I figure they'll upload the new site about the same time they announce the new album.

After a little more research, I think the message being conveyed may have been "Aztec disk". Check this out:

Note the connection to Art Bell (whose broadcast was incorporated into "Faaip de Oiad").

[mike tyson]

Eaaaasy... don't stereotype yourself there. People are bound to be excited.

[Tertius Oculum]

God loves you.

[exojjl]

Eaaaasy... don't stereotype yourself there. People are bound to be excited.
well put. I dont even bother saying bullshit like "i dont care" anymore, anyone who says it is excited, they proboly just arnt hyped up about it and they are proboly indeed patiently waiting for it.

p.s. I dont care when it comes out, I have other tool albums to tie me over.
hahaha.

[Ryan]

i bet it is the album cover. (http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y8/ryanin/DSCN7562.jpg)

[Ryan]

I guess its the CD itself.

i like you, mcroggles.

[parabolofdecadence]

I guess its the CD itself.

I'm not sure I would like that? But then, I'm not sure I wouldn't either...

[Foamy]

I just had a thought, does anyone remember the screenshots of the new website? It was in exactly the same style as that.

[DirtyBanana]

I bet the new website will be launched on the 16th or 17th of January.

[Foamy]

[Tertius Oculum]

Yeah, because YOU SUCK.

You could always look for yourself though, they were posted around here a couple of times.

i think you are correct and will bump this post on january 17 when it is launched and will give you one hundred dollars.

[Tertius Oculum]

I think you're a [no]mo.

[Ryan]

[DirtyBanana]

Wait.. that's the new website?

It would seem that way considering.........

[Odibilëph]

But where did these screenshots come from exactly?

[Hannibal]

i like Tool

[Ktuluvic]

A lecture or something that Joshua Davis put on or spoke at.

[Odibilëph]

A lecture or something that Joshua Davis put on or spoke at.
Ah. Cool.
"You said you'd die for me. Why, then are you, so surprised when you hear your own eulogy?"
Comma splicing!! zOmg!

"Why, then, are you so surprised to hear your own eulogy?"

[Goldfoot]

Ah. Cool.

Comma splicing!! zOmg!

"Why, then, are you so surprised to hear your own eulogy?"

Listen to the song. That was done for emphasis on the way it is sung.

[Odibilëph]

Yeah, I know, but written out it looks stupid.

You should just go so far as to:
"Why, then are-re, you, so suh-hprised to hear, your, own, eu, lo, gy."

[Foamy]

No no no....it goes like this:

Why. Then-are you. So su-parised. When you hear. Your own eu. lo. gy."

[gerbil]

Wait.. that's the new website?

That's an example of the new technology that's going to be put into Tool's new site.

Safe to say it'll be a similar concept, though.

[rimb]

New ToolArmy login page: http://www.toolarmy.com/catalog/login-other.php

or is it?

[Foamy]

New ToolArmy login page: http://www.toolarmy.com/catalog/login-other.php

or is it?
I doubt it. It's shit. It's probably just an old design idea or something.

[Goldfoot]

Yeah, I know, but written out it looks stupid.

"Why, then are-re, you, so suh-hprised to hear, your, own, eu, lo, gy."

He's not Vince Vaughn. "Are-re"? MAYBE "arrre," but if you're going to attack grammar, do it against someone who doesn't use punctuation OR capitalization.

[ARMZ]

"(anything can happen when the 117th Rose Parade is themed “It’s Magical”),"

117? Jan 17th? Tuesday? Magical?

Please don't hurt me.
I hope you're right but he was referring to the Rose Parade...

On Monday, January 2, 2006 at 8 a.m. (PST), millions of spectators from around the world celebrated the New Year with the 117th Rose Parade themed “It’s Magical.” The Rose Parade’s tradition and pageantry featured magnificent floral floats, high-stepping equestrians and spirited marching bands. The 2006 Rose Parade was held on January 2 in observance of the Tournament of Roses “Never on Sunday” tradition.

[magnolia]

I hope you're right but he was referring to the Rose Parade...

... I believe that you're right.

[zenkinet]

Its the 17th

From what I know of Tool, from the past, is that they never seem to release information when we all expect it, usually they release it when we least expect it, so my predictions are that no newsletter will be released today, maybe a news post but nothing more.

On the other hand I would love to be wrong.

maybe someone else's birthday. But never any news on the birthday of the new album.
