HAPPY ST. PATRICK’S DAY!
Cheers to all you revelers and cluricauns in your noisy, shamrock-festooned pubs, and the lightning bolt from a shillelagh blasting rod to those who didn’t catch the leprechaun who’s obligated to show you his buried treasure. Next time look for tilted spectacles and silver shoe-buckles and then don’t look away (not even for a second!)

YAY! It's green!

[]ifrit[]

Shit-slow loading webpages piss me off to no end.

It's a day for people to drink cheap green beer and get drunk.

[ATARI]

[Fulcan]

or be like me and work at a bar/grill and have your tables give you free vodka shots. damn, best friday morning ever.

[trentazer]

Next time look for tilted spectacles and silver shoe-buckles and then don’t look away (not even for a second!)

Hidden message mayhaps?

[]ifrit[]

c'mon we were expecting a good new, like the news we had on Friday 10th and Friday 3rd.
Blair is an idiot for sure.

[bass_dude]

Its an excuse for Blair to toy with the fans a bit more- posting proves he is there (not away, broken internet or whatever) but has aparrently "moved on" from the whole Album mysteries/queries he is no doubt getting most of the day.

Alex

[bass_dude]

Hidden message mayhaps?

could well be, actually.buried treasure= album info maybe?

maybe he's the "leprechaun", the buried treasure is info, and

Next time look for tilted spectacles and silver shoe-buckles and then don’t look away (not even for a second!)

could possibly mean that he has shown us the info, just no one noticed, now he's taken it back?

I dunno...

Alex

[orange.juice]

i think he's drunk. Still, he managed to make his post green. Respect!

[Fulcan]

OR maybe there is no substantial news so he posted a holiday greeting. You guys slay me. They should call this new cd Salival 2.

[HalfASandwidch]

haha they're having mysql troubles. They're definetly doing something with the site.
edit: nvm i guess it was a problem on my side.

[HolyReality]

Its an excuse for Blair to toy with the fans a bit more

Alex

agreed.

[flipmojo]

Hidden message mayhaps?

No - just a Happy St. Patrick's Day greeting. Maybe we will get some new album info in the coming week.

[bass_dude]

No - just a Happy St. Patrick's Day greeting. Maybe we will get some new album info in the coming week.

I wonder if Blair locked his laptop away afterwards, knowing he'll get drunk, and probably post something he shouldn't..?

ah well, keeping fingers crossed.

yes, in a drunken fit he will go out of his way and scan the cd cover, from his laptop.

[InertUniformity]

wtf is a cluricaun?

[Metalgod666]

Blair must be on something...

[Vaginal Replicator]

I think he's calling those of us that overlooked the new Tool news idiots.

[Clutch it like an AEnima]

yes, in a drunken fit he will go out of his way and scan the cd cover, from his laptop.
we can only hope, that his drunk ass will do that

[Clutch it like an AEnima]

Blair must be on something...
i think he is too

when he says
"to those who didn’t catch the leprechaun who’s obligated to show you his buried treasure. Next time look for tilted spectacles and silver shoe-buckles and then don’t look away (not even for a second!) "

hes bieng cryptic about something

[ATARI]

Wow. You guys didn't get it yet?


The new album name is crypto.

[bass_dude]

yes, in a drunken fit he will go out of his way and scan the cd cover, from his laptop.

he probably has it, in a file on his desktop saying "NEW ALBUM- DO NOT LOOK IN HERE!!"

sounds about right...

Alex

[Saltank]

Sounds like a riddle!

[zenkinet]

wtf is a cluricaun?
Cluricauns

There is much debate over whether cluricauns are actually leprechauns or their close cousins. Except for a pink tinge about the nose, they perfectly resemble leprechauns in all their physical characteristics. But they never wear an apron or carry a hammer, nor do they have any desire to work. They have silver buckles on their shoes, gold laces their caps and pale blue stockings up to the calves. They like to enter rich men's wine cellars, as if they were their own, and drain the casks dry.

To amuse themselves they harness sheep and goats and shepherds' dogs, jump from bogs and race them over the fields through the night.

Leprechauns sternly declare that cluricauns are none of their own. But some suspect they are really leprechauns on a spree, who, in the sobering morning, deny this double nature.

[T-13h]

Good advice.

Happy St. Patrick\'s day m,.

[Vaginal Replicator]

lol, I already said that dude.

[tentonmantra]

Hey sceptical ones!

Blair is making fools of you! Even with the correct information under your nose (www.toolband.com / 10,000 days + tracklist) you still not see it because you don't believe it. 10,000 Days is the treasure!! But you (sceptical ones) are to sceptical to accept it/find it/believe it.

Blair is master to all of you.

great post

[Andorion]

Fuck toolband and these couple past months - if people are skeptical and confused and hesitant, tha's fine, because of how unreliable any information from anyone related to the band is. Not only do they lie through their teeth all the time, half the time the info coming out is just fake, false, or irrelevant. Real album and trackname or not, it's no great feat one way or the other, and it's not surprising people are split 50/50.

This isn't some great mystery, some giant puzzle with deep clues and intricate riddles.

It's plain ol' lack of- or mis-information, I don't blame people one way or the other, and I can't wait until I have the album in my hands and this stupid game is over.

I'm all for mystery and excitement, but for fuck sake, it's getting tiresome.

I wonder was it this bad in the Lateralus era?

[T-13h]

The controversey is entirely fan-made.

Either toolband.com is hosting false information and the band is quoted giving false information in Kerrang, t.d.n., Triple J, and Sub Rosa, or not.

Two options, one of which is dependent on all the sources we could expect to give us any information one way or another, and one of which is dependent upon speculation from no one who knows any members of Tool about what Tool is likely to do (and in some cases: translations of Enochian).

Good luck.

If it wasn't weeks before a new album, then yes.... now, any little bit of info is good.

[dracomordag]

how did i know that people would try to decipher this?

goddamn you all

[orange.juice]

it's green !

[Loveboat Captain]

are you kidding?

[orange.juice]

no, it's really green!

[5th Eye]

WHOA THE NEW ALBUM HAS A GREEN THEME

[KJM]

lol, what the hell are you smoking

[fortysix_and_tool]

Lucky Charms and green beer for dinner tonight! Yea!!!

Careful...all of you out and about tonight. Cheers!!! : )

[pki2003]

"tilted specticles" = title specticle ?

[dracomordag]

"tilted specticles" = title specticle ?

or maybe that classic pose of a leprechaun with his specacles titled onto his nose?

Then why open up your browser and go to their website, this site or any other site that updates news on the band? Mainstream media outlets will tell you when the slated release date will be once the band releases it. So, if you claim that you're adventurous then keep up, post your opinion in a way that maybe even would benefit the board and keep quiet with the negative posts. If not, then shut the computer off, or don't go to the respected websites that might hint at clues and pick away at them, because it's obviously frusturating you.

As for the TB post, I like it. It's very much obvious that Blair is fucking with us, and that there is more to the puzzle. It's evident that the tracklistings might in fact be real, that the title might be real but us cluricauns are too lazy (refering to zenkinets posted description to solidify this) to accept it, to think about it, to actually put together intellegent and somewhat meaningful posts that could maybe better our conception of the album. Intaking communication maybe?

Who liked the wine reference in zenkinets description and its relation? Ha.

[reflection63]

All I get from that "update" is that Blair likes staring at the Leprechaun's "buried treasure"

[Scrotophagus]

Blair is just being an asshole. Nothing unusual.

WOW! that was totally meaningless and i cant believe you started a whole thread for that stupid post.

[Hannibal]

agreed. I'm so glad two sites can give me the exact same information. Not to be a dick, but I will be, I know how to check Toolband. No offense, but its annoying to see threads about news that can be obtained simply by clicking on my Tool Army button.
