March Newsletter

[SomethingSpecial]

was it moved?

[dracomordag]

i was going to post this as well

[SomethingSpecial]

fucking wierd. Oh I know. Maybe because of all the shit talking about that loser Blair who lives his life "Vicarious"ly through Tool.

[toocooltool]

hmmm

[dracomordag]

i actually really liked the newsletter...

Oh well. The March newsletter failed to deliver anyway.

[astrorot]

the newsletter belongs on travel channel. narrated.

[SomethingSpecial]

author of the thread? Or author of the piece of shit newsletter?

[Andorion]

[paraflux]

the thread. If you want to talk about the newlsetter, let me change the title of this thread to March Newsletter or something. If everyone is done, I'll bin this.

[Briznitch]

I as well found that newsletter bogus. Less than a month to go, and we hear about Blair's travels again? WOW. Tool's website has always sucked for as long as I can remember, there's never any real information on there. Just random crap about other bands. Blair needs fired. Get a fucking myspace account dude, and leave the TOOL site for TOOL news. There was what, a small tiny hint of relevance in that entire rant about rocks?

[SomethingSpecial]

um, don't bin my thread please, I'm not done talking about it. But if you are, you can find another thread to talk on, right? (not meant to be rude, just poignant)

[meatstick]

its getting frustrating. 5 years without an album, and now its only a month away, and we still can't get any info from the bands official site. God have mercy on our souls

[millermt]

um, don't bin my thread please, I'm not done talking about it. But if you are, you can find another thread to talk on, right? (not said in a rude way, just a poignantly)

That's veird, I was just wondering how to spell "poignant"!

[astrorot]

i can't tell you how many times i have skipped reading newsletters and posts on toolband just because of all the bullshit on it. bullshit, bullshit. like i give a shit about some magikal sword used by an ancient tribesman

[SomethingSpecial]

That's veird, I was just wondering how to spell "poignant"!

Yeah, as I re-read my post I realized that although the spelling was correct (which is something I generally struggle with), it really didn't make sense. So i fixed it

[Waldo Geraldo Faldo]

good riddance

fuck blair

[millermt]

Yeah, as I re-read my post I realized that although the spelling was correct (which is something I generally struggle with), it really didn't make sense. So i fixed it

I was going to say that although the newsletter had its poignant moments, it failed to deliver because it gave us absolutely zero new insight into the album or tour dates or anything else people are anxiously awaiting.

[SomethingSpecial]

Hmmm.... maybe I should rename the Thread "Fuck Blair (?)"

[astrorot]

do it.

[paraflux]

um, don't bin my thread please, I'm not done talking about it. But if you are, you can find another thread to talk on, right? (not meant to be rude, just poignant)
yeah, go ahead, I was just wanting it to make sense

[SomethingSpecial]

yeah, go ahead, I was just wanting it to make sense
I hear ya. Threads (at least with my limited experience with them) tend to go off in a direction of their own.

[ProdigyDub]

I don't understand why Blair thinks we care at all about an extremely detailed description of some trip him and Camella took.

Then again, I only skimmed the newsletter, and maybe I'm missing the point. Was there anything substantive or actually ABOUT the band in there?

[SomethingSpecial]

Was there anything substantive or actually ABOUT the band in there?
Not really. Alot of suggestive irrelevance. Pretty much just hot air. Fuck I hate him.. I'm just realizing this. I hate Blair.

[dracomordag]

i thought the newsletter kicked ass

[astrorot]

it really boils me up because i wonder if tool respects their fans. its fucking whack. definitely arrogant and/or pretensious. blair is a big boner and he is really blowing hot ass air out of his stupid face.

[Liam]

who wrote "tool 10,000 days" on the big rock

[SomethingSpecial]

hmmm, kinda yeah. For once I can't he put out a newsletter that is 100% about Tool. Even if it's one paragraph long, I can live with that.

[SomethingSpecial]

who wrote "tool 10,000 days" on the big rock
who knows. But it was ironic, no? He mentions in the post that tweekers and pretty much losers had defaced the once "magnificant" rock. And then he (or at least someone who accompanied him on his gay trip) joins in on the defacing. Yeah I know it's just a rock, but that rock meant something to someone, or something like that.

AHHHHHHHHHH I HATE BLAIR

[dracomordag]

it's photoshopped in...

[mattw]

Read the thread about the newsletter and the giant rock and the connection to "Right In Two"

It's quite good.

I think Blair was trying to give us some meaning behind this epic song (apparently 8:56 in lenght, and described by one lucky listener already as "THE BEST SONG TOOL HAS EVER WRITTEN")

[SomethingSpecial]

hmmm, maybe. Kinda unclear if it was or wasn't. But this makes me laugh for it reminded me of something posted on the initial newsletter thread where some moron asked if the UFO was photoshopped in.

[SomethingSpecial]

ok, off to a meeting. you guys have fun. And remember to defame Blair as much as possible while I'm gone.

[Briznitch]

I was gonna say that writing on the rock almost looked photoshopped in. It's almost too straight, no depth to it. But then again, too shitty resolution to tell.

Either way, Fuck Blair. Stupid dumbfuck who thinks we care. Get a real job dude.

[Ryan]

you know what'd be great? if we could just get an update like this.

http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y8/ryanin/toolband_update.jpg

[Vianney]

http://www.toolband.com/newsletter/

after skimming through... absolutely nothing about the album... just aliens - whoop whoop

[UnasTheSlayer]

I read literally two paragraphs then closed the window.

[intoaneye]

thanks for this exclusive news!!!

[insaner]

loved it.

[Carny_Handles]

lol @ teh rock with 'tool 10,000 days' written on it.


*edit* hmm im actually pretty positive this new tool album will be even more 'alien' involved than lateralus, and have to do with ancient tribes. The news letter pretty much spells it out

[UnasTheSlayer]

Why did you close the window? It's nice outside.

Eh, the amount of bullshit coming through it was giving me an allergic reaction.

[MentalSanityOff]

At least thats the last shitty newsletter I'll ever have to read, because once the CD's out there's no way I'm listening to Blair talk out of his ass all the time

[SuperSteve]

Great, another blog entry.

[tempathy]

i think we should bin blair. it's his own personal fucking blog.

[amhx147]

"10000 people per day." maybe it means something ....... <suspense>

[paragon]

Should I bother reading it?

[Hman]

Guys, you're totally missing the point. Rock + Tool 10,000 Days wrote on it = A ROCK ALBUM!

Finally some new information.

[amhx147]

Should I bother reading it?


no. i doubt it has any significance. but i can bet money that over the next few days people will post shit pertaining to certain words dates or numbers in the newsletter that connect ancient civilizations, paranormal literature, or miniscule astronomy or physics facts. bleh.

ill make up my own mind when the album comes out.

[Carny_Handles]

"10000 people per day." maybe it means something ....... <suspense>


yeah, there were alot of little hints scattered throughout. The mentioning of green jello being where tool kinda started out with danny and maynard, then mentioning fbi agents eating green jello or some shit.

The thing i found ironic is how blair was making fun of the pimply slayer fans defiling the rock, then they write 'tool, 10,000 days'.

Also another point of interest for people to look into, the 'tool 10,000 days' is written in red paint... notice anything else in the same red on the rock?? :D im still trying to figure out what it might mean, if anything.

[cacophony]

Well there you go...

Blair has the same taste in Pink Floyd shirts as I...

Finally I am just like Blair...

[ladder_alice_11]

http://www.toolband.com/news/letter/images/2006_03-anagram.swf

not sure if anyone has seen this, or what it means, or, what to even say about it...

ill only be flamed either way... or.. maybe there's more.. i have nothing better to do than search through source code :/

[Khadgar346]

that is the flash at the start of the newsletter. Blair asks a question about that secret and then puts that up, then goes onto rambles...

My guess, everything he is talking about, has something to do with the song Rosseta Stoned

[ladder_alice_11]

And i just realized that the freakin flash thing never loaded on my browser... was wondering what the space was for...


yea its late..




Edit: Bin

Wow, Blair is a flash god!

a comment.


The newsletter gives rosetta stoned, and 10000 days evidence, but I guess the real test is the vicarious single. after that we are basically positive its 10kd?

[astrorot]

oh wait, i spelled 'grammar' wrong.


yea, you did!

[eonphi]

fuck...we wait and wait and wait and that wanker gives us fuck all!!!
i can't understand why anyone would read it properly...all's i did was scan through it to see the word tool or 10000 days or something interesting....
maybe it's for the best though...i'm mean it might be better not knowing anything at all...it's a better suprise

p.s. blair is GAY

EDIT: only just seen the flash at the top.....he's still gay though

[F!end]

p.s. blair is GAY

you're insulting gay people

[Natalie Portman]

Geez guys, the entire newsletter was obviously about Rosetta Stoned. What was the Rosetta Stone? A rock with a bunch of shit written on it. What was in the newsletter? A rock with a bunch of shit written on it. It's so obvious, fuck. And the lyrics are probably written on the rock. Or maybe they are hidden in the code for the jpg file if you open it up in notepad? Fuck, I'm a genius.

Maynard's Myspace page. He deleted it, but you can still see a cropped version if you play Rev 22 20.

[Bongzilla]

Just enlarged and brightened the rock up a bit, and yeah. It indeed does read "Tool sucks 10,000 days is fake"

http://www.mindict.org/quietscape/10000daysisfake.jpg

Don't know what to think about this. I'm one of the firm believers that 10,000 Days IS the real name. I just can't see it being a fake at this point.

[Nebel]

Look at the originally picture on Toolband, those words aren't there. Some lowlife altered it and put the words "Sucks" and "is fake".

[Bongzilla]

I took that photo from the toolband post and brightened it up. Yes, it is there. I took it straight from the website!

[Bongzilla]

Holy shit, I went in again and saved the picture again(this time it had a new image name! When I first saved it, it was graf1pp.jpg and now it is 2006_03-i.jpg) and indeed, it is not there anymore.

Am I going crazy or just fucked something up? :P

[EDIT:]

Yes, I fucked up. The original poster urled to a imageshack post and not to the toolband and I was dead sure I downloaded the first image straight from toolband. Guess I didn't.

I need sleep now. Disregard everything I said.

Same here, lol. Its a waste of time for me to read this. Its actually quite interesting, but very difficult to understand everything he is talking about if english isnt your native language.
Blair is really fucked up. He must be drunken all the time when posting news. Its hilarious how often he mentions alcohol in his postings.
This guy needs help. He reminds me of an old ex-mate who was talking about beer all the time and his biggest worry in a day was where to get the cheapest beer.
He now is a heavy alcoholic.

[pensar]

took a while for you all to point out that UFO in the corner there, come on guys.

anybody else do the photoshopping/brightening up of the large stone picture? I want to know if it really comes out as "Tool sucks. 10,000 is a fake"

That girl looks F'ing hot

Seriously, how gullible is Blair. Im surprised he isn't a scientologist. I can seriously take a dump in my toilet, not flush it for a month, call it magical, and within 2 months time have him show up at my door.

Expect a June newsletter about Texas and the future telling turds.

[Muladhara]

The Tool Sucks, 10,000 Days is a fake thing was done by a member of this forum.

Sheesh, does anybody actually read these threads?

[tooldude]

does anybody actually read the newsletters... are they trying to tell us tool will be touring with ISIS?

[BlairLicksTaint]

I don't know if I spelled chode right. Anway, Let me start off by saying I think alot of you worry a little too much about the new album, when all you have to do is wait. Seriously, All this time you all spend in here will make the wait seem alot longer. but I guess that's your choices. Flame Away...

I am nominating Blair for biggest douche of the universe award. Someone before me said it perfectly...he lives vicariously through tool. The one thing I don't understand is why they like him. I guess having a male groupie is something our favorite band is into. he must give crazy head and hummers. I wonder if blair drives a hybrid and smells his own farts....?

[Unstuck in Time]

It's official now - I'm in love with this Blair dude. He's a genius.

[Muladhara]

I find it funny that none of the people bitching about Blair know him personally.

I cant believe people are bad mouthing Blair, he's giving out no more information than the band want him to give out. Regarding the latest post, at least he's cleared up the subject for what Lost Keys is about, if indeed the title names are correct. Im sure all this mess will be cleared up soon enough...

then he shouldn't have posted a newsletter...

he could have put that stupid ass thing about him sitting out in the middle of the desert looking for aliens on a personal blog or something

ill start by saying you could be right...

but do you know him personally? how do you know that he isnt just a friend of the band who has been given the humorous and menial task of updating their website and posting tiny goodies that will stir the mental juices of the readers/fans? hardly sounds like "living vicariously" to me

[praefector]

seems like all the blair haters are just bitter because theyve been salivating in anticipation for a new tool record and he comes through with a possibly relevant anecdote about a trip to a desert and a giant stone with special significance to western native american tribes instead of "we listenened to track 1. it sounds like music with drums and guitars and here are the lyrics ...."

what is tool always suggesting we do?

think for ourselves? pursue discovery? expand our minds?

call me crazy, but the intention of this newsletter (as well as many others) seems to be a push into discovering for ourselves some of the ideas the band has been exploring over their writing/recording process. what good is our discovering the spiritual relevance of this stone if the band just simply lectures us?

if youre too lazy to research yourself dont go shooting the messenger.

[blair's man sausage]

everyone bitching and moaning here will be sucking tool's collective cocks come may 2 or earlier....gets old...i don't like this, i don't like that....get over yourselves it's not your art

Blair Sucks.
Glad you caught that too. Thought I was the only one.
There's a few other places where it looks like doctoring, but hard to make out what the words say. Also the closeup of the dedication plaque looks like it's been altered, but probably just for effect.

Someone needs to tell me where all these awesome blogs you've been reading are.

[waffel]

heres a question.

if blair's dumbass blog posts WERE NOT posted on toolband, and he was just some random dumbass on the internet, and you stumbled upon his blog, would you read it?

no, you wouldnt. you only read it and praise it cuz "OMFG HE KNOWS TOOL SO HE HAS TO BE COOL"

If I saw his hypothetical blog and it had all the same content and a similiarly straightforward, clean layout I might very well check in once or twice a month.

[amhx147]

look. blair may be a cool guy. he may be a friend of the band. he may be the worlds biggest nerd. i dont really care. him putting shit up about his alien seeking trip to the desert, or a lengthy acid trip, on the TOOL website just doesnt belong there. If this is some kind of hinting session about track names and song meanings, its gotten to the point where its not even worth reading. i dont think ive ever looked up this much useless crap in a 2 month period before (enochian dictionaries, history of LSD, the giant word search shit, mayan history, blah blah). yeah i know... "hes not forcing you to read it".... thats great... but what reason does he have to put that shit, along with the damn butcher and whatever other band it is infromation on the website?

im just tired of people saying "you dont know blair personally" "dont insult blair, hes a really faithful guy to the band" etc.... k.. awesome... put me in charge of the website and i would be faithful to the band as well. but i wouldnt post this much random useless crap on there, that has vaguely anything to do with tool or any tool news.

and if you disagree with my opinion, peachy. just know that i disagree with yours.

He posts on toolband.com. TOOLband.com. Wouldn't this band just put another guy in charge of their website if they didn't like Blair's enigmatic stories? So if at all, blame Hofmann Tool.

[praefector]

i dont need them to like me. nor do i feel the need to post crap on the internet about my hiking trips, or about how much alcohol i drink. :)

if tool asked you to post about your trip to the proctologist on their website you'd probably do it without a second thought.

[researchtriangle]

yeah, there were alot of little hints scattered throughout. The mentioning of green jello being where tool kinda started out with danny and maynard, then mentioning fbi agents eating green jello or some shit.

that's actual a famous account of a man in black trying to drink jello at a contactee's house. i don't think that was a hint

[eknal]

I havn't seen this brought up here yet, although admittedly, I don't view these boards everyday.

Anyhow, has it already been brought to people's attention that the graffiti on one of the big rocks in the newest newsletter clearly says "Tool (sucks) 10,000 days is fake"


If this is a repost, I apologize.

Can't wait for the new record!

if it clearly said it then people would be able to see it.

care to explain because right now you look like your contradicting yourself to be a "complete idiot"

good job on the zoom dude

[greg vs greg]

Anyone else ever think perhaps Blair posts stuff like this because maybe knowing a little background info about it will help us to better understand the album, so that we aren't completely lost? That's usually how I take it. That was a giant newsletter and it mostly focused on one thing. Blair isn't an idiot and he could have posted that after the album if he wanted, but he chose to post it when he knew lots of people would see it, meaning it's probably somehow relevant. We just don't know how yet. Just read it, shut up, and wait. If the album comes out and the newsletter had absolutely nothing to do with it, then you can justifiably hate Blair all you want.

It probbably doesn't say anything, but if you can't see the word "Tool" in that zoom then you are legally blind.

[Muladhara]

Glad you caught that too. Thought I was the only one.
There's a few other places where it looks like doctoring, but hard to make out what the words say. Also the closeup of the dedication plaque looks like it's been altered, but probably just for effect.


Yeah, all the pictures look odd to me.

Glad someone else noticed too :D

[JuhaDeWolf]

Look, I'm not saying that it doesn't say "Tool" and I'm not saying it does.
I can however, say that I understand how a person could think that.

Also though, look at where the graffiti is, near the top of the boulder and upside down. I really doubt that a person would go on top of the boulder, dangle upside down and risk their neck just to write huge-ass graffiti. If it does say anything, I'm pretty sure that it was photoshopped in afterwards. And if it was photoshopped, there has to be a reason behind it.

[JuhaDeWolf]

You can sort of see an 'uck' under the 'ol' and an 'ake' at the end of the scribblies. The rest is probbably just hallucinations brought about by a severe lack of new Tool.

JESUS CHRIST ARE YOU PEOPLE STILL TALKING ABOUT THIS?

Look in the FIRST PAGE of this thread. I posted this image:

That's the first and only place that image has appeared... I added "SUCKS" and "is fake"

No wonder it's so easy to pull the wool over this community's eyes, it's because people don't read jack shit and don't think about things before they post.

[a_sirian_in_agony]

it looks like tasel fuck to me...

[Vaginal Replicator]

Hey it sayz TooL 10,000 Days on that big rock "Dave" is sitting on.

OMGZ

[just simulacra]

i've got a feeling the '10,000 days' was there, coincidentally, way before the album name was announced. just as happenstance. and in turn, tool took it and ran with it as the name of their fake album.

because it is fake.

period.

I agree with you, Greg, and welcome.

It doesn't matter how much you tell 'em, they only see what they want to see.

Good joke by the way, you had me checking too :D.

At one point in the newsletter, directly underneath the picture of the guy sitting on the rock with a UFO in the upper left corner, Blair says, "Again I recalled the message of the Clarionite, Aura Rhanes: "The water of your deserts will mostly be tears.""

I googled, "Clarionite, Aura Rhanes", and three results showed up. The first was the TOOL newsletter. The second was interesting to say the least. Check it out. Notice it references the number 10,000 toward the end of the first person's bio.

the third result was a longer entry concerning some of the people mentioned in the 2nd link result and others, but it was quite lengthy.

[chonus]

Blair mentions a lot in the newsletter, not that it is all important. However, I didn't know what half of the things were that he was talking about, so I googled key words and phrases and found a lot of interesting things.

I don´t know if it was there form the beginnig,or my Pc is fucking with me.

If you move your mouse under the first line:

"Q: Can you tell me something about the 'terrible' secret that one of the songs on the new record speaks of?"

There seems to be somekind of Flash animation,but it dosn´t work for me for any reasons.

[F!end]

It's been always there.

[DirtyBanana]

allright.

[kalamazoo87]

Has anybody noticed the spraypaint on the pictures of the rock? One graffiti say's "Tool 10,000 days" which seems to be contrary to what Blair said in the newsletter. Did anyone notice this. Sorry if this has already been mentioned.

[jasonchristopher]

yeah, like last month.

[MoreTool]

What a Sherlock Holmes you are

[trip0r]

a bunch of cocks on this board

[oui]

[HiPp_1]

Good god, let the man be. So he noticed something that had already been talked about.

[eonphi]

1. are lurkers
2. have posted something we all found months ago

do you think we should stop?
