yeah being overly hyped seems to be a common theme these days when it comes to tool releases.

If there is a lot of bonus material I'm tempted to think that this DVD could in fact be the 'surreal movie' that Adam was talking about earlier this year. I think we all pretty much assumed that it would be the live DVD that's been talked about a lot over the last few years, but I don't think that'll happen now as Adam suggested that the final product wouldn't be a 'shitty live recording'.

Judging by the single screenshot it wouldn't be wise to draw too many conclusions, but it does look pretty epic, doesn't it? I think that this might be it.

I really wanna see this video, I wanna see what Adam can do with CGI, cause of course everyone knows that 6/7 of all Tool Videos are Stop animation, and like everyone else is saying, this looks pretty epic, well Vicarious is an epic song i guess =D


and basically, this isnt going to be the band film, thats probably going to be a different project, and like they said, its just talk for the moment, and the bonus material is just probably going to be the Behind the Scenes and some commentary by Adam and stuff, im not getting to exited, but i know this is going on my Christmas list cause, you know, its fucking Tool =D

I feel bad for looking at that post. (on toolband.com)

All i saw was that headline at first, "something VICARIOUS blah blah VIDEO!" in big red letters and i immediately got all tingly inside... then i threw my hand over the screen and was like 'wait, do i want to see this now? should i wait?' Then i read it.... now im all excited and shit. What was i thinking!? :-P

I'm happy it's going to be released now... but i really dont want to hear anymore about it until it's released. Am I alone on this?

well we know that it's going to be Vicarious, and the song itself is less than 8 minutes long......almost two years for a 7 minute video? thats pretty ridiculous, it better come with 3-D glasses and a blowjob

Why don't they just give the fans what they want - a decent dvd package. Danny even said they record nearly every live show anyways so even editing together the best performances from each show wouldn't disappoint.

The Schism / Parabola dvds were just a waste of money. Can't even remember if the band did any commentary over them, pretty sure one of them had Jello Biafra ffs. I could be wrong there - my attention wasn't grabbed long enough to care.

Good music videos right enough but £10 each was ripping the arse out of it.

If they release another dvd it should contain a live show (either Lateralus or 10k tour) and all their videos. Interviews, backstage hoo ha and MTV Cribs shite I don't care about. If you've seen either Primus or Therapy?s dvds then you'll know how damn a good a band can make them for the money paying punters like us.

Still, looking forward to seeing the Vicarious vid. I like the visual of the wee dude watching the world die.

elusivEuphoria
10-25-2007, 07:06 AM
hmmm. Animals should not try to act like People DVD/CD... Schism and Parabola DVD. I have them all... never really felt tempted to bitch about it though.

'Oh these fuckers! they are selling a high quality product to me again'
'Oh these fuckers! they are selling a high quantity product to me again' (Not that Primus isnt high quality in their own right... but that is essentially the arguement)

I'm mean honestly... get over it guys. You didnt have to buy the Parabol/Schism DVDs if you didnt want to. Even if the Vicarious DVD is just like them... I would still buy it. $10 isnt going to break the bank. Think about the production value of Tool's concerts... personally i wouldnt bitch if they wanted jack me for a couple extra bucks on a music video DVD.

Ugghhhhh.... whatever. But about that 3D glasses thought... i was thinking the same thing. That still they have on their website almost looks like it's "polarized" or whatever. How crazy would that be? Has anyone ever done something like that before? I can only imagine what that would be like... but i think the concept would be absolutely perfect for a Tool video.

Nobody know what its really going to have have!!! Just be grateful that they are putting out something as cool as this DVD. A lot of us have been waiting for this video and I just have to say that I am ecstatic about it!!!

Murray
10-25-2007, 09:14 AM
Don't get me wrong I'm ecstatic about seeing the video too cos we've waited so long and I'll buy it anyways. It could seem like I'm bitching and moaning but I just think it'd be better off if they did a bigger package. Another dvd with one video lasting 7 minutes for 10 quid just seems pointless. Fair enough , I'll accept that's an assumption as nothing has been confirmed at this point.

They've got great videos with alot of work put into them which miles better than anyone else's. Fair dos they're on Salival but it'd be nice to have them together with some concert footage or something.

Meh, says I.

FIatIine____
10-25-2007, 10:03 AM
I was joking originially about the 3-d glasses, but it could very well be in 3-d....that would be cool.....but I still hope they add some extras than just a 7 minute vid, for one this video took a very long time and should be more special than those schism,parabola single dvds....I just hope they don't do what Valve did in video games with the Orange Box, it came with 5 games but only 3 were brand new....basically packaging 10,000 Days album with the DVD single...since almost everybody already has the album, kind of like Half Life fans already had half life 2 and half life 2 ep 1....just charging extra bucks.....Orange Box is still one of the greatest games I played :)

I see. Well then i retract my bitching about the bitching. :-D

I've just heard/read a fair amount of it about the Schism/Parabola DVDs and I personally thought they were great. Certainly had a few chuckles listening to the commentaries, and was really impressed with the lengthy remixes.

10-28-2007, 07:34 PM
I think this DVD will be underwhelming but I'll still like it anyway.

I really hope there is a 5.1 remix of this track.

I think this DVD is going to be the "movie idea" that adam mentioned a lil while back.

http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/search/google/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003597438

You know how they are saying on the tool website that its going to be "EPIC", well put all the "hints" together. They've taken over 2 years to finally put it out, (reason why it took so long, because its such a huge project), Adam announced the "movie idea" in June (maybe just giving another "hint"), all the hype about it being "EPIC"(i dont recall many music artists putting out a movie or short film in conncetion with their music, and we all know how tool is known for their creativity and innovation). Its a possibility. Ey im just saying.

Hey,

I'm quite distracted.
Release is supposed to be on 12-18, right?
But amazon already sent me the package today containing the Vicarious DVD.
So what exactly can I expect from that thing coming to me (hopefully) tomorrow?
Was amazon a tiny little bit too early?

Greetings,
