Bit early, but what do you all think the April Fools prank will be....

Maybe one of the guys accidentally used the Master Recording in the answering machine and taped over it.....

The CD's have been pressed backwards and are delayed for another few months....

Korn have launched a lawsuit against against Tool for very noticable similarities between Tools album and 'See You on the Other Side'.....

the album is the April fools joke. they tell us that it was released to the stores early and everyone rushes out to buy it only to find it a prank. classic.

Danny quits Tool because he losses an arm and teams up with Def Lepard so they have a complete drummer and rock out some bad ass jams....

- Adam dies from a freak accident for not passing on a MySpace chain bulletin
or
- Justin, Danny, and Adam leave Tool to join the Axl Rose Project, Maynard declares Puscifer his musical future

or maybe
- Guests for the new album are revealed including: 50 Cent, Kelly Clarkson, and Fred Durst

Nice. How about: they announce that they'll appear on Howard Stern to kick off the new album promotion.

It'll definatly be something about how the album isn't coming out, or it was lost or destroyed.

They can´t do something that obvious. Nobody will fall for it after last year´s. Not even MTV.

This years April Fools joke will be that Maynard isn't [no].

That could actually be quite cool. Not as cool as Tool, but Axl is one crazed out bloke, could be fun to see the result of this mix... :P

It'll have to be a doozy. They have to know by now that no self-respecting Tool fan would believe a single thing they hear on/around april 1st.

My guess is that it'd be more of a publicity stunt than anything else. Kinda like the aforementioned "turning to Jesus" thing last year... anyone else wondering if there are a few Christian-Rock fans who're gonna be picking up the new album on account of that prank?

has no-one else noticed all the christ/jesus references around, starting with the "maynard found jesus" april fools. Maynard has his own wine (the blood of christ, which is mentioned by blair in the last news post). and his supposed "Jesus" myspace page.
meh nothing else, but you know, it's another rubbish thing to hurl abuse about

i think for the whole year the band has hardly been working on the new album at all, instead they have been working furiously and secretly on the ULTIMATE april fools prank for 2006, ooh i can't wait.

Maybe this year there will be some completely ridiculous post, and it is actually true.

^That one sounds about right, something like the studio that was housing the original copies was burnt down and now Tool have to create the whole album again.......or the boys enlist in the army due to a terrorist act yet to be committed.

That's the best part, imo.

It won't be about the album being delayed/not coming out for a while... way too predictable.

SpiralReflection

I wouldn't be surprised to see this one get political. Probably some references to wire taps and Jack Abramoff. Maybe MJK will say he won't play in the US again as long as Bush is in office.

Or maybe he could do the opposite and be all republican for a bit.

Tool are planning to start recording a follow up album which is due to be released within the next year. Then shut down operations and never post on the site again. I'd dig it.

Maynard will quit both Tool and APC once this tour is over and move to California's wine country to devote the rest of his life to making the world's best Syrah

My bet is that Maynard will announce that he has found Jesus and will quit Tool. That would be fucking cool. That would be a great jab towards Head too.

I think it will be hard for them to do anything. Last year's got so much attention, and every true Tool fan knows that it is coming. I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to not do anything.

And that would be the greatest joke of all---not making one. Everyone would be anticipating something and nothing comes.

The April Fool`s will be like this: Blair will announce on toolband.com that the new album will be released in the second half of April, that its title will be, let's say "Tiphareth" and will give us tracklist but we will all think: "Huh, it's April Fool's it can't be true, he's just fooling with us and everyone will say- very funny Blair but no one believes You, we are waiting for the real news, but then at the end of April they will release the album just like they announced and it will be so funny:) I don't know if it will be that big, but I was thinking that whatever they post, would probably be true. And of course most of everyone wouldn't expect that. It just probably won't make any sense (like most of everything so far), and it'll be obvious after the release, or in the near future. They'll put something else right under our nose, that we won't get. And they will have won, once again.

I also think that whatever is posted for "April Fool's" will be true, but something relatively BIG, as far as news goes. Just so that its seems maybe....too good to be true and people will have to make the decision whether to Ripley's Believe It......OR NOT.

Staticfactory

02-13-2006, 10:03 AM

With all of the secrecy and gag-orders surrounding the album, I wouldn't be surprised if the joke was something to do with a legal battle. For example: Someone has leaked the album, or has divulged information without concent, resulting in a lawsuit. The release has been postponed, under court orders, until the issue is cleared up.

This would work 2-fold, as anyone that believed the prank would be frantically scouring the net looking for said information/content.

Regardless, if they do try to trick us, it'll have to be damn believable!

I think the best would be eleasing the album on April 1st, then making a post about it on the site. No one would believe he post for awhile and then the cd would be released with none of us knowing. That would be great.

that would be impossible to do. record stores have copies of albums days if not weeks in advance of the release..

No matter what they do as April Fools prank, it can only be predictable. We are all waiting for it. If it will be anywhere near last one´s in terms of ridiculousness, things will be all too clear. If it will be somewhat reasonable, we would still handle it with special care.

After all, April Fools is supposed to be funny, isn´t it?
