that was quick

[amhx147]

i think its real.... until i hear the real vicarious

[A Tad Bit Catatonic]

I just hear different things in it every time I listen to it. My mind clicks into Parabol, The Patient, No Quarter, and actually Passive too. It's a cool little piece. And it just really has that "Tool" sound.

If it weren't for the second part where he picks like The Patient, I'd almost think APC. First part actually sounds like Passive the more and more I listen to it.

[NoD]

I think it's real... it uses a native american instrument too ;)

[amhx147]

i would take that link off. iy
tll get the thread deleted by the mods

Actually, I think whoever's been modding this has just been pulling out the links. I think, I am not totally sure. They have been really Really cool with it though. Thanks guys. =)

[amhx147]

nah, they deleted the last thread cause of the links, thats why this one is titled "that was quick" cause they deleted the thread within 5 minutes

Oh yeah I was posting on that one too =P. But I swore I've already seen some people put links up and then have them dissapear. Maybe the posters have been editing them out??

[F!end]

could anyone PM me the links please?

thanks ;)

[el57]

NoD jsut edit that link out so it doesn't get closed. Instead of an actual link I'll describe the URL which shouldn't be against any rules. It starts off media.putfile with a .com then there is a slash and then "Vicarious-Overlay". There no rules broken.

jsut to double check someone has emailed this to Andy King right? I mean he's the one who can validate/invalidate this easily.

they said they did. it was metalhos

[Vaginal Replicator]

This clip is so much better with that guitar melody overlayed.

Done.

It's always so stupid in forums when they say we're not allowed yet everyone just PMs to everyone. This is the only clip that's always being removed and not tolerated.

[nickknocker]

so i dont understand how "someone" got those two clips as seperete entities....and then decided to put them together....it's fishier to me now, no matter how much it sounds like maynard

EDIT: Oh yeah, i like it too by the way

[Vexom]

If somebody could pm this to me I would be greatful

[Liam]

thats shithouse, as if its tool.

[thepatient_10k]

so has someone sent this to that andy guy from total rock to see if its real or not?

or has it already been confirmed as fake?

[shockpoint]

Random guess.

Cog music (if it is not Tool) and vocals lifted from distorted parts of No Quarter. Surely Maynard

Can any really big fan of Cog elaborate?

[amhx147]

what's andy king's email? ill send it if i knew it


edit: and thats a good questions: who the hell discovered these files in the first place??

[oneredflag]

Is any one else suprised that no even the slightest snip of 10000 days has leaked?
Also does anyone know if and when Lateralus leaked early? (how early?)

[Hodge]

no, considering they're being super secretive about it this time around

lateralus leaked like 3 weeks in advance

[PhatFiend]

the information are all hoax.

[Futanical]

No, not surprised. It will leak a week before the release date. Not until then. They can't baby it forever and wipe its ass.

[joshls]

It will probably leak in the next few weeks.

[KJM]

I bet a leak pops up in the next week

[Hodge]

i bet we hear vicarious on the 17th

[amhx147]

check the rumors section, in the thread titled "that was quick" there are some possible leaks.... if its anything, its the closest we have to one. it sounds to me like it might be pre-edited demos sent from the band to the sound engineers...

[Anti-Xian]

they said they did. it was metalhos

supposedly metalhos already sent them to andy king. pm him to see if he replied.

[Mongeese]

Could I get a PM with the clip please?

[thepatient_10k]

i just pm'ed andy king

[oneredflag]

check the rumors section, in the thread titled "that was quick" there are some possible leaks.... if its anything, its the closest we have to one. it sounds to me like it might be pre-edited demos sent from the band to the sound engineers...
Sure i heard those, and I think they are B.S.

[amhx147]

pm'd? hes on the forum as well?

[mancalledsun]

Please PM?

[dracomordag]

Toolband will probably start streaming Vicarious around the 13th or so.

[gerbil]

Yeah, okay, I'd like to receive a PM if anyone's looking.

[oneredflag]

Goddam I hope so.

[amhx147]

looking at what? if you guys want the links, check my profile on aim, if u cant, then PM me.

[PhatFiend]

I'll get BMB to send me a copy of vicarious in a few days. He tells me the album is heavily influenced by Limp Bizkit's latest production. *Can't wait*

[zee deveel 17]

Toolband will probably start streaming Vicarious around the 13th or so.

what makes you think so? was schism streamed on the website before it made way on the radio?

[thepatient_10k]

i went to totalrock.com and pmed him there...

btw: i have the link as well, so pm me if you want it...but i wont be sittin here pming all night

[amhx147]

hopefully he writes back something other than "i cant talk about it..."

[thepatient_10k]

yea hes probably scared to talk about tool lol

[zee deveel 17]

does anyone remember if schism was streamed on the band's website before it premiered on the radio?

[amhx147]

are they suing him? or did he just get a nasty letter?

[jAkUp]

So what do you guys think? You guys think this is the actual Vicarious?

[amhx147]

i think it might be. *reiterated* i think its got alot of promise if it is... and if it isnt? id love to know who the hell made these, cause they are pretty good. (im not talking about quality)

[thepatient_10k]

he probably just got a nasty letter, he made an apology and everything. But his "flat" burnt down recently..maybe the record companies commited some arson.

and the leaks are promising, but i wont beleive it til its confirmed.

[jAkUp]

Anyone have any idea why there are 2 of them though? That sound so similar? I mean, its just kinda strange, maybe from different parts of the song? Who knows.

[amhx147]

someone brought up earlier that they sound alot like edits being passed back and forth by the sound engineers and the members of the band... if thats the case, it owuld explain why there are two of them,

[mancalledsun]

In my opinion, there's no way that's new Tool... it just sounds like another band putting on their best impression, playing what they think Tool should sound like. That song (or clip) sounds like it would be from Lateralus, if anything.

Then again, some of the album is said to be pre-Lateralus...

[thepatient_10k]

no clue, no clue at all...

i like the theory that they're rough mixes that get sent back and forth from the producer to the band members..but its just a theory and the leak could have been made in someones basement.

[jAkUp]

Also, here is what Andy King said about the song in question:

Thanks to Fourth Part of a Circle and Andy King for this one:
Track 1- “Vicarious” (7min 3sec).
Mesmeric start. Hypnotic beat. Jagged, angular off beats. Familiar trancey passages punctuated by a guitar part reminiscent of an older Tool track. Tribal drum beats fuck with a lovely melody and climax with Maynard’s vocals.

[thepatient_10k]

yea thats been posted a few times, when he says "Familiar trancey passages punctuated by a guitar part reminiscent of an older Tool track" he could be talking about the patient. They do sound similar as people have pointed out.

[mancalledsun]

By the by, where can I find this 'Andy King's album review, whether it be fake or not? I'm very curious as to what he has to say.

[amhx147]

do a search of the forums. it should still be on here somewhere.

[gerbil]

If it's real (either of them) the two guitar parts probably aren't meant to overlay. They sound like much the same note, just played different ways. May have been, "Does this distortion sound good here?"

[thepatient_10k]

it might be on toolcollector or whatever that site is called..

[MasterOfKtulu109]

most albums dont leak early anymore, not like a few years ago when some albums would leak 2 or 3 months early.

it wont leak until the week before release

[mancalledsun]

Okay I found it, man, I must say, it's a very convincing review...

[jAkUp]

Hmm, maybe, Eon Blue Apocalipse + The Patient or Parabol.
Surely this clip resemples some of it.

[NoD]

I just found out who made these music clips: http://img400.imageshack.us/img400/9667/croc21nx.jpg

[Sol Invictus]

They streamed schism for about 5 days before the single was released, yes.

[thepatient_10k]

i knew it!

[HiPp_1]

They have done such a good job keeping this thing out of circulation for so long, it wouldnt suprise me if it never leaks.

[KJM]

it would suprise me since the cd IS out there somewhere and out of the bands hands.

[amhx147]

so thats what hes been up to

[livingdecay]

exactly.

exactly.

[FortySix&Two]

I am a little suprised that the single hasn't leaked yet, since you'd think some dj out there has a copy. As far as the rest of the record, I'm not suprised, since they've been hand delivering, monitoring, and taking the album back with them at listening parties. Once it gets shipped out, and most likely enters the warehouse of the retail outlets, there is a pretty high probability that it's going to be leaked, I think.

[LetGoLetgoLetGo]

Why not email BMB the link? lol

[HiPp_1]

Good point, not saying it wont leak, just saying wouldnt suprise me.

[jasonchristopher]

i'm pretty sure that we'll get something early but i'm guessing only a couple days advance on both.

[TurdEye13]

I am not really suprised considering the measures Tool has taken to keep this record under wraps. I mean, you have read the facts on the listening sessions. A band member personally placed the CD in the player at all of sessions.

[randomhero8823]

they paid the swiss army to guard it..... swiss army kicks ass.

[thepatient_10k]

BMB's a lazy motherfucker who probably doesnt even check his inbox..and if he does its for UFO porn or naked pictures of Mary Magdalene

[amhx147]

already emailed him the link. no reply.

[lachrymoIogy]

blah, hopefully he responds sometime tommorow, i'd like to know if it's real. and i hope they stream it on toolband, since after katrina there's no longer a new rock radio station here.

[Carbonatedgravy]

Why would Blair bother responding to this, espcecially if it is legit? Just to be cool? Remember, this is Blair we're talking about.

[mustbevicarious]

I really like this leak. I'm going to put BMB in a stranglehold and make him suck massive amounts of chimpanzee cock if he doesn't get cracking with...whatever

[hellboy1975]

I am a little suprised that the single hasn't leaked yet, since you'd think some dj out there has a copy.

Why would a DJ need to have a copy. These days there no need to send out actual CDs in advance, therefore there's probably not much chance of a leak until the 16th or 17th.

The only leak will come from a "borrowed" complete CD from a warehouse, or from Toolband/Army.

[Boozy Eulogist]

For the record I slipped back into the local Cumulus rock station today while doing our FM show.

Nada Thing. This sucker's coming in over the net.

[toolebukk]

OK. who can PM me this link? I got really curious now

[A Tad Bit Catatonic]

Yup still digging this "leak", it sounds even better early in the morning.

[Metalhos]

jsut to double check someone has emailed this to Andy King right? I mean he's the one who can validate/invalidate this easily.

so. andy king has answered today and this was his short reply to the 1.37 clip, which you can find at s42 dot yousendit dot com on page d.aspx? with id=0CSSHLVO6Y5VY3SAOUCMN0S45F :

No it's not

so, if it's not tool i really like to know who this is, cause overall warmth, heart and feeling in this little piece comes damn close to tool. unnaturally close.

but perhaps andy does not want to get in conflict with the band again, so he isn't able to answer honestly. who know, who knows.

[Metalhos]

Finally.

THE CLIP WAS CRAP! IT WAS BAD AND LIKE I SAID IT WAS NOT TOOL!

It was just bad and it is sad people believed it to be Tool. You sure have low expectations.

king for a day...

[orange.juice]

YOU NEED SOMETHING WET IN YOUR MOUTH!!!

j/k

no really, i'm happy too. Agree with Roggels.

[LetGoLetgoLetGo]

Ok. How about sending it to A D A M on myspace? I dont believe anything Andy King says until I hear what REALLY happened with him and TOOL.

[fault]

why bother sending it to Adam? its poor music and obviously not Tool. If that displays their "evolution", then it's time to give up on them. seriously.

Why would you doubt Andy King? he's as legit as we've had so far. again, seriously...

[Anti-Xian]

Andy King is a liar.

he works with the band after his fuck up, he'll do anything to stay on their good side.
he's a cock suckin' douche eating out of the hands of tool since they are the masters of manipulation...especially when it comes to the media.

I didn't realise you were part of the music press that was present at the listening party? I apologise for my mistake.

i didn't know you knew and can trust andy king on a personal level.

suppose i should assume you were best friends or atleast actually hung out. how the fuck can you be so guliable just because some douche wrote some shit on the internet? haven't all the posts with the fake track listings, fake song downloads, fake album titles, fake artwork all led you to believe you just can't believe shit people post or say on here?

yeah, he's a reliable source!

[fault]

yeah, he's a reliable source!

The fact that Tool pulled him up and had the article removed is enough to satisfy me. However, I am not his friend, we've never hung out , but i'll take his word over your pointless redundant slander.

[LetGoLetgoLetGo]

why bother sending it to Adam? its poor music and obviously not Tool. If that displays their "evolution", then it's time to give up on them. seriously.

Why would you doubt Andy King? he's as legit as we've had so far. again, seriously...

First off....Imagine hearing a minute of Parabol before the Lateralus release. Hmm. After AEnima got raped and abused in my cd player for 5 years, Parabol was the last thing I saw coming. Granted, it wasnt the first leak that I heard from that disc, but Lateralus as a whole, has an entirely different (still TOOL-) sound. AEnima is EPIC. IMO, Lateralus is EPIC: Part II. That is evolution, but without making the previous "state" look primitive. If 10kd matches in quality and overall greatness to AEnima, I will be very satisfied. But, Im trying not to have expectations. As far as sending the link to Adam...You never know what Adam may say. Shit, Ill message him the link.


EDIT: Gotta have a "Second off" if ya have a "First off"...

Andy King Rumours:
1. That he heard 10kd, therefore, his review goes into question.
2. That he had a pre-scheduled interview with the band the day after the listening. Apparently the band revoked this privilege when they found out he "gave away too much info" in his review..... ?
3. That he exists in this dimension.

I dont want to discredit or slander the guy, this entire pre-cd experience is unlike anything Ive ever been part of in my life. I feel like I may need rehabilitation after the release. But Andy King (in my world) is just another name on the internet.
And, didnt he apologize after the review leak and say that is was all BS anyways....or something along those lines?

ANyways....In additional defense to the legitimacy of this leak.. Where is the REAL name of the band that created this if it isnt 2L? This clip has been floating around for almost a week now, and no one has figured out who really produced it?

I am not sure this is 2L. It sounds good. I like it. Im not drooling over it. And for all I know, someone will disprove the entire thing in 5 miutes.

[fault]

That is evolution, but without making the previous "state" look primitive. .

I agree for the most part, but that particular tune would be a devolution. As some have mentioned it could be possibly be a work in progress. Fingers crossed it isn't. That's still no reason for others to use clever words like "douche" and "cocksucker".. It's tired and lame.

[Metalhos]

Andy King is a liar.

no need to blame andy this way.

try to argue from his perspective.

in this question we talk about a leak. which is kind of illegal, i guess. why should andy identify this item for us - just because we know he has allready heard the new album? he has allready apologized his review as a mistake. why should he get himself again into trouble (and he would get into trouble if he identify a leak as real new tool)?

so - basing on my question to him, he had a bad position. i am very sorry for that he now gets blamed by people just because he says "it's not tool".

[fault]

i am very sorry for that he now gets blamed by people just because he says "it's not tool".

I'm not sure he is getting blamed for anything (besides Tool) and the previous idiot that splurted some pointless rant about him.

We'll compare his review soon enough to the album.. that'll sort this out pretty quick :P

[LetGoLetgoLetGo]

still no reason for others to use clever words like "douche" and "cocksucker".. It's tired and lame.
I wasnt ..?

Ok. Heh...

PS. ^^^^^^^^^^^edit..

[researchtriangle]

i'm happy this isn't TOOL. doesn't anyone recognize the last riff as CLICHE and CRAP?

[Anti-Xian]

oh it's a fact that TOOL pulled him up and had that article removed? by who's words andy's? that must be true then. who on earth would ever get on the internet and create untruthful things centered in and around this new TOOL release. it couldn't be for publicity or anything.

the only reason i am continuing my side is because you and some of these other people seem to trust this andy character as a reliable source. why? what makes him so believable that you just discredit any opposition to what he has stated? it makes no sense to me.

what makes him so unbelievable? simple.

what proof, other than andy's word do you have?

if all you can do is challenge me for not believing in good ol', honest andy, well i find that sad. hey guess what, how do you know i wasn't at the listening party, part of the media, or tied to any pr(public relations) for tool or an entity related to distribution of such media? maybe i couldve cleared up a lot of confusion for you if i'd said i was any of the above, then you'd have taken my word on it, am i correct?

i just dont trust anyone or their word over the internet and all i'm saying is i dont believe andy. he may or may not be honest. why haven't you learned that on this forum (of all forums), that most of these people are liars?

[Andorion]

Just FYI, this "leak" was originally released without any voice/lyrics, someone added those - very obviously fake.

if that's tool, then tell me WHERE the hell is their evolution?! didnt they say something, when asked about "why do you need so much time for a album release?" like "if we would be releasing an album a year, hell what can you learn in a year?"

so... uhm... 5 years and, like someone els here already pointed out, only cliche riffs ?!?

thats not tool, and where the hell is justin and danny on this?!

....

and THAT is not adams guitar. maybe his style, a copy - not even a good one. The sound of the guitar is not his.

[vec]

Remember when they said they chose Vicarious because it was the best choice for radio. Does this song sound like a radio hit?

[Visceralus]

very much like a radio hit

[A Tad Bit Catatonic]

Pretend, pretend, pretend to know it all...

I believe Andy King actually, personally. But I'm sure Tool has hours and hours of recorded little bits and pieces gathering dust somewhere, in fact I think it illudes that in the Guitar World article. That is how they work songs out. This could, possibly, somehow, on an off chance, by coincidence, ironically, as a longshot, be one of those damn little bits.

I don't know who said that IF this was them, this was a finished song that would be released in this quality lol... for Christ sakes folks, relax. It doesn't hurt to speculate. And it looks like the field is split about evenly on whether or not it sounds like Tool. There are alot of intelligent posts in this thing, well it seems to me like more of them have come from the pro Tool side. Alot (not all) of you Nay sayers have made some dumb ass, whining, bitching, and down right childish posts.

Anyway, I've gotta hand it to the hoaxer, if this is a hoax - OBVIOUSLY, it is a good one. Maybe that is some common ground we can all meet upon, at least.

[von satan]

can someone please pm me the link

[amhx147]

thats cause tool made it

[AshleyKeenan]

OKAY, the gig is up. I am MAYMAY, I posted the original two mp3 audio files on RAPIDSHARE as a kind of "I think new Tool sounds like this...". In my original post I never said it was real, I simply stated that " I think new tool sounds like this.." of course there are similarities because I am a musician and I am in a band called EPOCH 1.

How I went about creating the files.

1) I really didn't take more than about 20 minutes. I plugged my guitar (PARKER P-42) into my DIGITECH 2101 rack guitar processor, and opened up a new session in Pro Tools (7.0). I started by drop tuning the low E string down to B. Actually, I usually play in E flat tuning as well, so it may actually sound like B flat. I started to play the main clean sounding riff for about a minute. Kind of sounds like bass and guitar. Then I added in the guitar that enters with feedback. That was just an accident, but I thought it sounded pretty cool, and proceeded to lay the two lead (distorted) tracks which echo each other. The sound of the guitar is pretty solid state, just because I didn't take any time to adjust it that much. It's really tube driven. Anyway, then there was the little palm muted picking part where I changed the underlying chord and kind of got that Tool sounding mute picking progression, and then that was about it, I faded the guitars because I never played to a click track and everything was getting out of synch. So I bounced it out of Pro Tools (no mixing) to an mp3 file and posted it as "WHAT I THINK NEW TOOL SOUNDS LIKE"

2) The second clip that you heard with the vocals was the same music, I just added a quick vocal track. How I did it was: Set up my mic (APEX 460) into my MBOX (pro tools hardware) and just sanfg it myself. I was going for an older Tool sound similar to the UNDERTOW record. I literally made up the words on the spot, which are for the record:

Wrestle with a conscience
Wrestle with a mind
Falling under pressure
Falling out of line
Vicarious, Vicarious

After recording the vocal I ran it through an EQ - a 1 band EQ and performed a HIGH PASS FILTER adjustement, which gives it that telephone effect. I also ran it through another EQ (10 band) performing a similar technique, and finally adding some Reverb (WAVES R-VERB, default setting).

Some of you commented that even knowing that it wasn't Tool, it sounded cool. Well, I am just the guitar player from my band, but feel free to go and check out real songs from my band at this link: http://music.download.com/epoch1/3600-8666_32-100897994.html?tag=MDL_listing_song_artist


THE REASON I COULDN'T MAKE A POST TO SAY ANYTHING MORE AND TO EXPLAIN WHAT I WAS TRYING TO DO, WAS BECAUSE I WAS SHUT OUT OF THE FORUM, AND COULD NOT REPLY ANY FURTHER. So I made this new identity and decided to finish what I started.

I'm not a bastard, I am a die hard real musician, I've played the Warped Tour, National TV, performed live over 2,700 times in the last 12 years. TOOL ROCKS, OFTEN IMITATED, NEVER DUPLICATED!

you did a great job. i must admit had me fooled.

[Convectuoso]

I never got the link or heard the track but kudos for giving half the members of tdn something to ruminate over for three days.

[A Tad Bit Catatonic]

Haha must give you props my friend. Very good one. Had me fooled!!

Anyway, yeah you should do something with that, it's not bad.

And let the "I told you so's" begin!!!

I have to admit it was fun though.

[amhx147]

Lol what a DUMB comment. Just because the possibility was considered doesn't mean anybody was necessarily fooled. And by being closeminded, a person is just fooling themselves. I think most of us here are intelligent enough to agree with that.

MayMay, I really think that you should make a full song out of that snippet you made. Damn, it would rock. Good job.

[Descencia]

lol I put those 2 clips on my ipod along with the Doom³ theme.

[millermt]

The vocals sounded very much like the effects used in the beginning of No Quarter. However, the minute I heard the vocal-less track, I knew it was a fake.

[Metalhos]

OKAY, the gig is up. I am MAYMAY, I posted the original two mp3 audio files on RAPIDSHARE as a kind of "I think new Tool sounds like this...".

great job, man. you have fooled me completely. and i enjoyed it. :D

[STA]

People actually believed those clips were real?

[ProdigyDub]

People actually believed those clips were real?

Yeah actually a good portion of the people in this thread did.

I'm not saying it sounds terrible--I'm saying there's no way this style of song would be the first single off a Tool CD.

Nice.

[Windir]

I like what I hear actually.
You got some talent man. Try to reach out for more. This is actually really catchy.

[praefector]

like, this sounds good and all and it sounds like it could be a tool song...but it really mirros something any good musician trying to make a tool song could do on his own with magix or something.

ha, i nailed it

ill take my scene points now ; )

[ProdigyDub]

ha, i nailed it

Yeah but weren't you arguing with me that it could be real? =D

[AshleyKeenan]

Thanks for the comments guys, I'll be recording a new CD in the next few months with my band EPOCH1, should be killer, I'll think about making the "VICARIOUS" clips into a real song (without the fake MJK style voice of course).

Check out that stereoscopic artwork that leaked, pretty cool stuff. The song is out there so I've heard through some friends in the industry. We will likely hear it before Monday.

i think my argument with you was about whether or not it was "radio friendly"

to which i switched the argument to the relative radio-friendliness of past tool singles.

if i remember correctly that is...

it was hard enough to find that post i quoted amogst all the pages in this thread rofl

I stand corrected. I believe you are right.

Carry on.

I got this cd from my brother thinking hey I've preordered the new Tool why not download it earlier. I was so excited about getting it early. So on the way home I'm listening to it and I also made a copy for a friend. After listening to it I threw it out the window and told my friend to use it as a frisbee. Good try but if Tool sounds like that I will renouce them as my favorite band. However you should continue with the Cd thing I am currently downloading your cd off of C-Net you got talent.
