Any ideas what this could be? I'm thinking live DVD in the fall, new album in the spring. Similar to the schedule they kept with Salival/Lateralus?

It's almost certainly a video for the Pot.

im gonna side with the REF on this one...

Its The Pot music video.

As posted in a comment on Fourtheye:

For those that can't be bothered clicking the link and scrolling to the bottom it says "Tool - The Pot - Adam Jones - 2011"

whoa.

FINALLY!

I'd rather have it six and half years after the cd's released than never at all

Almost certain it was inspired by this.

I'd rather see a live DVD instead.

just. go. to. a. show.

Rolo, I like your ide on the source of inspiration.
Gettin' high to to connect with Godhead. But in doing so has severed himself from life and ironically his own self. Musta been high.
Lab coat may mean that he uses science, chemicals, synthetic means of attaining unity with God rather than with his own innate abillities.

heh, wondering 'bout the kneejerk comment, hindsight.
i've gone to buy tickets 10 times, first in line, cell in hand,
and have only been able to see my favorite band twice.
i was definitely out of line.

I have been waiting for:

1. The pot video
2. A new album

A live dvd? Eh, don't care. I've seen them five times and it'd be hard to capture that experience on film. I would still be excited for it, but I would much rather have a movie like "The Wall" than a silly little live dvd. It's too, uh, "AC/DC" for my taste...

Better!

I did.

Last show in the netherlands? 2006!

im hoping adam has it labeled as the pot video to throw us off when he knows it inevitably leaks. please please be atleast a rerecorded alternate tuning version of the pot. please

clue? the finger in the still is pointing to the new album

Not shown: the hand giving Tool fans the finger

safe to say tool hasnt gotten soft with this next project. maybe adams trying to out wierd the wall

I hope so, I prefer it when Tool videos are wierd.

FWIW, it doesn't bother me that a video for The Pot is 6 years "late".

it wont bother me if its mindblowingly good but if its even just great i feel like the video will become old way sooner than a video for a new song. like what other band has ever made a video for a song six years after its been released. i cant see it going as well as the band would have hoped. knowing adam he knows what hes doing so he must have some trick up his sleeve.

thumbs up for buying our CDs and paying $85 to see us live!

It depends on what you think the bands expectations are. Do you expect Adam/Tool are doing it for the money, or because it's a piece of art they want to add to their collection?

The answer is probably somewhere in the middle, but I doubt that Adam is sitting wondering if the project is going to be a financial success. I expect he really just cares about how the video fits his creative vision, and how well it is received by the fans.

my thoughts are it will be cool at first but a month after its released it will be forgotten. after all its all about the music. the videos enhance the music. i feel like most tool fans are conditioned to the song the pot already and creating a video for a song that everyones already used to and analyzed half to death is and artistic waste. to me its like getting a ground roll double compared to a grandslam. money is not a part of it at all, i just want to be wowed by the band really

Hopefully they will wow you, and I'm sure that's what they're aiming for.

Not sure I buy into the whole "conditioned to the song" part though. All the recent Tool videos have been made available well after the song was released and over analysed.

Let me say this-

I would be excited if tool released a video for Useful Idiot tomorrow
I would be excited if tool came to my house and shit in the kitchen, said nothing, and left
Live dvd, pot video, new album...anything is better than nothing. Actually, nothing is okay...just as long as they are still around and not on MTV or the Today Show or Jay Leno. I like tool subtle, obscure, and with only 1 fuck given- art. Nevermind, even the art doesn't matter. I have never not liked anything tool has done. I even liked LAMC.

Actually it'd be cool if they went on Leno and performed LAMC

haha agreed.

I can just see Jay's "What. The. FUCK." face right now. This would just absolute rule.

I could really care less if it's The Pot video...but I'm sure like any other Tool fan I'll still go fuckin buy it while mumbling under my breath

they should hide the pot video in the upcoming album

new album will constist of only one song. and corresponding video. new tour will be the performance of just that.

"Keenan acknowledges the band doesn't necessarily need to release new material to fill an arena – they took their dark, psychedelic show on the road as recently as earlier this year. `But as an artist you don't want to become a greatest hits version of yourself, either,` he says. `You want to push the boundaries. You want to figure out how can you challenge yourself to discover something new, discover something different about yourself. What are your limitations? What avenues can you push and expand? That is life. I don't have any interest in coasting yet.`

woulod be cool but what i wrote is probably nonsense since there will be no new material...?

that one song of course is ~ 1 hour long :D
