This makes me think that people sit there with toolband.com open in a window hitting the refresh button every few minutes. Not to say that's what you did. Maybe you hit f5.

Yes, let's get into a discussion about our methods of refreshing the page.

[mmortal03]

Yep, I just saw this as well. So, it is confirmed then. So, instead of a joke, we get real information on April Fools Day.

Did anyone notice there was no BMB at the end? Did I just blow your mind or what?

There is no BMB after a lot of things (see past news for some of them).

Yeah I don't get Blair's whole leaving-BMB-off-of-interesting-posts thing. He better clarify it soon.

I wonder if this means that we will not get anything new until April 17th. I don;t think there is anything else they can release until that day. Then we can enjoy 'Vicarious' from April 17th til May 2nd (or until the leak). Sounds good.

[HalfASandwidch]

didn't we already know this?

I say we bombard BMB's inbox with emails named "where's the march newsletter?" and include links and images to and of gay porn until we get what we want or until he dies from carpel tunnel syndrome...

[bluefire]

of course, were you expecting news?

I refuse to give up hope. Perhaps they're keeping us on standby until April 17th when the real album name is released along with the single. This is America, I can dream all I want.

Perhaps your riding tool's dick so hard that it's poking at your brain. If you smell burnt toast then this is confirmed.

[ARMZ]

limited my ass.
Not sure how many have been sold so far but this might be the last lot.

They are not individually numbered. I believe that they are factory sealed, so my advice would be to get a re-sealable protective cover if you open it (and I'm sure many will open the album - those whose intent isn't to put it on ebay). Each copy is individually signed by all four band members (one per side on the 'slicks' (the special process I mentioned earlier). The number of copies is between 250 - 300. I'm not sure about any other distinguishing features as I didn't really examine any of the signed copies that closely (and I don't have one). I know that Adam put various little drawings in silver ink along with his signature ON THE SIGNED COPIES OF SALIVAL, but I don't think he did this on the vinyl. His signature, itself, is artwork, though (have you seen it?). Hope you enjoy your copy.

Was that you he was replying to Ryan?

That almost makes me wanna pay the... What is it? $40 to sign up?

[thepatient_10k]

i dont think blairs makin these updates...he doesnt usually talk like that in his news posts

[Eon Black Apocalypse]

Interesting point to notice on this latest BMB post. "locking the door..."

Many references of keys have been shown ("Lost Keys Blame Hofman", BMB stating that for the artwork the "key is right there before your very eyes", and now this).

Anyone care to share thoughts on this?

I think we will be seeing a topic with these ideas in the near future... Like 10 minutes?

[thepatient_10k]

well then that solves that..

[Paradigm619]

I finally caved and bought a signed lateralus vinyl. I just got paid today, so why the hell not?

Yes it does. Seriously, he was online at the time and so was merch who is responsible for the merchandise and that is why the signed vinyl is up as well.

[Eon Black Apocalypse]

So far in this escapade for 10,000 Days, I've noticed many references to the same thing, Keys! It's repeated everywhere:

You're on the ball today I guess.

[Octopod]

There's a couple of keys in the Opiate collage...

[HalfASandwidch]

I've got a couple keys on my key chain.

[teleincision]

i think i have a house key, but mabey it is just an illusion... huh...

[Eon Black Apocalypse]

Another interesting find.

Also people are saying something about the recent post not being written by Blair because of the absence of the "BMB", check the past news and look for the last post without the BMB signoff.

22 Feb 06:
"KEYboardist Scott Kinsey and those amazing musicians that perform with him..."

[Eon Black Apocalypse]

EVEN MORE KEY REFERENCE:

In the Jan 2006 newsletter where BMB uses the ouiji board for more info on the album:

"...from its lower astral kingdom by means of the Calls and Keys of the Enochiana."

"After this, I needed to determine the correct sequence of Enochian Calls or Keys to be used for invocations of the Earth subangle of the Water Tablet. This, as it turned out, was 4 and 11. For those not familiar with the system, here's an English translation of the fourth Enochian Key..."

"...that the key is the power of one's imagination - the ability to build up astral constructs by an intense focusing of Will."

[GullyFoyle]

You are definately on to something. Some of you guys on the forum should definately be private detectives!
On another note, below the Eureka! post on TB (30MAR06) it's signed B & S, any idea who the S is??

OK, STOP RIGHT THERE. There are a lot of things (scan through for yourself) going back for years without BMB's signature. This could mean Blair didn't bother to put it, or that someone else makes these kind of announcements. I don't know. But I dont see how you can connect key references to something like that. Really, that is trying too hard man. And also that is not the last post without the BMB signoff, that is the last 10,000 days unrelated post (as i've said in the other thread) without the signoff.

EDIT:
If you think looking through previous pieces of Blair writings will help you solve some mystery (which I can't seem to find in your post), your digging yourself a hole that's too deep for you to get out of. You might as well look for all his references to the words POT, TWO, and DAYS (to name a few), because they will be as much help as finding any key references.

[teleincision]

[GullyFoyle]

HA! good one.
Poor guy wouldn't get any respect if he leaked the full album today!
I bet he has a theory about the KEY ref that's pretty good.

You aren't really serious about the KEYboardist thing, are you?

The only way I'd believe it is if the "KEY" part of the word was actually capitalized on toolband like you quoted it, but it isn't.

[ARMZ]

Vinyl has sold out.

[thepatient_10k]

im pretty sure his point was that there wasnt a BMB.

But if that was a reference to keys (KEYboard), then your trying way to hard.

[DaMa]

This is too much for my nerves. Sit tight and wait. Sit tight and wait.

[DaMa]

I also think that the absence of "BMB" is no indication for anything, but.. who knows that for sure these days.

That "key to enochian" phrase is interesting.

what does "days" mean in enochian?
(not much clue about that "enochian" stuff, so please dont flame me)

[teleincision]

This is too much for my nerves. Sit tight and wait. Sit tight and wait.

totally, since i have only been a fan of tool for a few years, i havent waited al long as fans of older tours and albums....

Same here, this is new to me but very exciting. Just a fan since Fall 2001, so i didnt have the "privilege" to join all this pre-release discussion yet.

Why can't blair just post it on toolband right now. It's not as if it would hurt anything, if anything it would tide us over and we wouldn't bitch at him in emails as much.

We have a bar called the Fox and Hound here in Austin too.

I'm pretty sure every major city has a bar with that name. Don't know why you think it's some bar in KS exclusively.

I wasnt trying to be an ass about it but wouldnt you guys think that just maybe just maybe Danny might be in KC to see the fam before he sets off on this huge adventure that he is about to set sail on???? wow considering this whole site is based on guesses and speculation i would think people wouldnt be so quick to judge but ohh wait.... you got 300 plus post that makes you the "tool" mastermind. Let me guess... "think for your self... question authority" yeah ok guys seriously dont hate your fellow fans....

"...that the key is the power of one's imagination - the ability to build up astral constructs by an intense focusing of Will."

There's this interesting page about The Keys of Enoch, which are the keys to higher knowledge and conciousness, known by the ancient civilizations, like the Mayan, Aztec and Egyptian.


The lost Enochian knowledge reveals the mother tongue as a "language of Light". Known to the ancients as HIBURU, it is the primal seed language, introduced at the beginning of this time cycle. Modern research confirms, the most ancient form Hebrew to be a natural language, the alphabetic forms emerging from the phosphate flare patterns of the brain. The same shapes, in fact, born of a spinning vortex. It is a true language of light, coursing through our very nervous system.

Encoding the natural waveform geometries of the physical world, Hiburu is a harmonic language, mimicking the waveform properties of light. The "keys" Enoch speaks of, turn out to be sound keys, keys to be vibratory matrix of reality itself, the mythic "Power of the World". The Enochian knowledge describes sonic equations, encoded within the ancient mantras and god names, capable of directly affect the nervous system and producing profound effect of healing and higher consciousness states.
http://www.think-aboutit.com/Spiritual/secrets_of_thoth_and_the_keys_of.htm

Speculation: Maybe Tool will recreate certain sound wave patterns in 10,000 Days and each song will work as a key. Just a far tought, but it could be possible, who knows... it's Tool were talkin.

Lock all the doors and kill the lights, no ones coming home tonight.

[stinkfish]

stopped reading after the first sentence

thanks for the early warning of what a shit thread this is

[TheRuleOfThree]

Actually, he's just saying "lock the door" after "to the fox and hounds I go" because of the idiots who will email him saying they knew the single was coming out on the 17th. He most likely already has gotten flooded with "We already knew that!" emails. And everyone is pissed about it at ToolArmy as well.

But nice try.

[stinkfish]

You're from Sweden.

ouch. don't be mean.

[Staralfur]

Sweden rocks

[STA]

roggles, youre an idiot

he was making the point that he was leaving to go for the bar tonight and that theres nothing more to say

I like McRoggles. It's not as though every other line of text that Blair has posted hasn't been overanalyzed to death.

[hellboy1975]

I presumed it meant everything was ready (Recording, artwork, promo materials, etc.) for the release.....
Nothing left to do.

[ArizonaBay]

I hope it doesnt turn out to be bull now, i wanna hear Rossetta Stoned damnit (bet its a feckin segue)

p.s. I thought locking the door meant he was going on a particulaly huge piss up, more than usual that is.

[GullyFoyle]

I don't understand why they felt the need to reiterate news already publicized by billboard on 27MAR06. Especially on april fools day and especially with the "here's some amazing shit". What's so amazing about releasing info the the news before your dedicated fanbase, then telling your fans, acting like they don't already know.
http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002237083

The "locking the door" comment was the most interesting thing on there. Anyone have a theory about all the Key references yet?

[a788]

i used to think that it wasn't the album, but it is too publicized now.

and why would they reveal it on the fourth?

Thats when the single is (supposedly) going to surprise the world magically.

Or something.

[a788]

oh... systolics thoughts?

[Ocelot199]

oh... systolics thoughts?
Systolic's friend who works at some radio station hinted that the single is going on air on the 4th, and that if it doesn't hes going to leak it himself.

I dunno.

ok thanks

I honestly don't fucking care. Come on, it's new Tool. Be happy they're still around!

Yeah, so would I, so would anyone. But since that's the only info we had gotten for months and months it's our right to analyze it because it's all we have. I'm sure when the album comes out a lot of people against the album title will change their opinion and accept it but it's all we have so we have the right.

and it's my right to make fun of idiot noobs who misuse the quote function defending their right to be idiots.

"When there is a picture of a soundboard posted in the Toolarmy news section, I'm sure you would think, Gee that's a nice soundboard. But someone else might look a little closer and see that the photo was taken by Adam Jones. Why would Adam bother to take a picture of a soundboard? That person might notice that one knob in each of the 3 rows is different than the others. And that person might extract the intended message: 1/17/06.

You might then forget about that soundboard photo. But someone else might revisit it at a later date and notice that it is no longer the same photo. It has been ever so slightly changed. The message that was once 1/17/06 is now 1/16/06. And there is a new message being conveyed as well: 4/4/06."
"

[Hodge]

blair said that was the original album release date

[Drunkard]

It was posted on April Fool's Day. Therefore, it's a trick.
This confirms that the new album will not be named 10,000 days and that the track listing and art work are fake.

[dracomordag]

St. Ængir ftw

[zavlin]

First: 10,000 Days is a good name and I would love to hear a song called The Pot, Rosetta Stoned or Wings for Marie.

But Blair's remark, locking the door triggered following:

Blair goes, locks the door.

Why?
Because of all incoming e-mails

Why?
Because tomorrow or the 4th it is announced 10,000 Days was a hoax.

Would you like have the e-mail box from Blair when this is revealed?

No, you would lock the door.


Serious, I hope it is 10,000 Days,

This post wasnt signed by Blair, so this couldv been anyone involved with the band who was fed up with all the april fools expectations.

there is a new message being conveyed as well: 4/4/06."
"

Thanks for reminding me about this date.

[fraz]

It was posted on April Fool's Day. Therefore, it's a trick.
This confirms that the new album will not be named 10,000 days and that the track listing and art work are fake.

not everything on April 1st is a prank.

[Lexingtongue]

whats that all about? does it mean anything that ive missed or is it just blair pissing about again?

[awaking]

maybe he just meant he was going to sleep.. he posted it at like 12 pm eastern, be like 8 pst but still maybe

"lock the door kill the light"

[Ryan]

it means "here, overanalyze this homosexual line until april 17 to give yourself something to do. i'm going to go get drunk and listen to the new tool album while i eat multi-flavored jelly bellies and stare in envy at the penis on maynard's apron because i know, no matter how hard i wish, my penis will never reach that mighty 3 inch mark"

[Ryan]

indeed.

[Lexingtongue]

I made this thread yesterday, it got:

a) merged
b) binned
c) deleted
d) else

I don't know.

I believe in 10,000 Days but tomorrow we will all hear the real names. Does that make sense? No.

sorry man, no ill will meant, wasnt on the board yesterday and was just wondering what you guys made of it.

Homophobic bullshit seems to be everywhere.

[Ryan]

what does homophobia have to do with a thread about locking a door?

[Unstuck in Time]

what does homophobia have to do with a thread about locking a door?
Yeah, tell me!

[Deoxy_Anomaly]

Because any negative use of the term, "homosexual" implies homophobia?
Indeed...you're a bright fellow.

[Doylebag]

yet another thread which has strayed from the main point.

[Deoxy_Anomaly]

yet another thread which has strayed from the main point.
Or another thread that was useless to begin with due to the fact that its point has already been discussed in numerous other threads?

[paraflux]

I made this thread yesterday, it got:

a) merged
b) binned
c) deleted
d) else

I don't know.

Poor Mr. Mcroggles! Oh noes!
edit: on second thought, I dont see a thread that already talks about this. So here it is.

[Chancelor]

havent you all notice, every single thread on this fucking site gets off topic within the first ten posts. only the good thought provoking threads come back to the topic around 15 or 20 posts later. threads should be limited to 5 posts total, then shut down and if people still actually want to talk about the original thread topic, start another one.

look at this post, completely off topic.

[paraflux]

That's a reason they get locked, yes.

[suntzu420]

what does homophobia have to do with a thread about locking a door?

i guess it keeps them from coming out of the closet.

[Deoxy_Anomaly]

i guess it keeps them from coming out of the closet.
Nailed the hell out of that first post.

o.o blast...I think I'm heavily to blame for off-topic posting...
I'll stop, now.
A.D.D....

[mike tyson]

Maybe he's talking about Panic! At The Disco...

"I CHYME IN WIT TEH HAVNT U PPL EVR HERD OF
CLOSING TEH GODDAM DOOR!"

srsly?

[Unstuck in Time]

Because any negative use of the term, "homosexual" implies homophobia?
Indeed...you're a bright fellow.
Mostly, yes.
It's not about me, it's about the matter. Read the thread again.

MOST POINTLESS NEWS UPDATE EVER

I'm almost certain...
that this isn't the most pointless news update ever. You should check some of the updates going back about six years, and I'd be willing to bet that there is at least one more pointless news post. Try it mister most creative TA name ever... did that come to you in a vision?

I totally agree. Blame the moderators. They do not do their jobs right.

[paraflux]

No, I never saw it.

[Mitote]

...maybe blair is locking up and saying goodbye to the old site...next post from a brand new website? who knows, who cares...lol

And people like to blame the moderators... that's a laugh. It's also a laugh to look at them getting put on probation, those who decide to do... not much except troll the mods.

The good topics, as you said, come back around to be good topics, while the lame ones die. That's the way to let a thread live, the first few posters are normally just posting to get the first few posts in.

[MasterOfKtulu109]

you know, not everything on the tool website is a secretive code that leads to something amazing once it is cracked.....stop analyzing everything.


im surprised people haven't starting looking deeper into the april 17th release date of the single, trying to find a hidden meaning.

It's Maynard's birthday. Done.

[RedVilliam]

edit: You all can stop wondering the single release on the 17th is for my birthday party. I had a sit down with M and I said, man we share the same birth day so I got you this card and a nice bottle of pino noir I picked up at the HEB. He says to me, well here's the new single. Yep, we're tight like that.

[STA]

I stopped drinking

I don't understand.

[RedVilliam]

I'm an 'alcoholic' and I stopped drinking 97 days ago.

[STA]

Good for you. Sometimes I wish I could stop.

[dracomordag]

you?

[RedVilliam]

It's been hard, but I didn't realize how much of myself I acutally lost until I sobered up, and that's what keeps me going.

[Natalie Portman]

Good for you. Sometimes I wish I could stop.
sometimes I wish you could too.

[tool25]

to hell with that i need to drink more these days

[ARMZ]

damn blair tried to pwn you...
Wasn't me, as if I would use a shitty name like that, one that's unoriginal AND from a lame movie. Just passing these 2 open messages along to the masses.

[Opiate_Mass]

Interesting point to notice on this latest BMB post. "locking the door..."

Many references of keys have been shown ("Lost Keys Blame Hofman", BMB stating that for the artwork the "key is right there before your very eyes", and now this).

Anyone care to share thoughts on this?
you're reading too much into it.......
