Here is another rumour for you:

In a german musican forum someone just posted that yesterday a bandmember joined the (toolband.com) chat.He gave this informantion:

1.right now the album is in the mix.

2.new album will be "heavy shit" (ok,we heard this already)

3.promo will start in january


Someone who can confirm this?

how hard can tool be? mayonard cant even sing one song (T&A) without losing his voice.

T&A....Tits and Ass
You mean T&L my friend, ticks and leeches.
:)

I have some things to say.

#1) FUCK YOU, MESHUGGAH. If you turn Tool into a heavy metal band, I'll kill all of you.

#2) FUCK YOU, NINE INCH NAILS. If your influence on Tool creeps into Tool's music, Tool will sell out with shitty techno electronica shit noises. Don't fuck up Tool.

#3) FUCK January 2006. That's too damn long for promo time.

Please don't die out, Tool. I am frightened.

Lateralus was a SUPERB album, but it was not in the correct direction.

I hope the new album is more towards sounding like AEnima. I LOVE Lateralus, but I know that any sequel to it in the same direction would turn out as boring shit.

I have strong opinions. I am not angry or trying to piss off anyone here. I am just very critical...

Aenima > Lateralus.

I don't think I have ever been so excited for anything as I am for this album, not even my nephew being born. I just really don't want to have to wait untill next year to hear it, I would be heartbroken if #3 was confirmed.

I agree. This is the first album I ever anticipated. I got into Tool in Summer 2003.

The only other album I ever anticipated was DT's Octavarium, and I was very disappointed with it...sounded like nu-metal....But it didn't kill me.

I have EXTREMELY HIGH expectations for Tool's next album...I am VERY EXCITED about it....and also nervous about the outcome. Tool is the only band that has yet to let me down. I hope they never do.

If that's true, IF!, then there might be a double album in the works......maybe.

If I remember correctly, in the January 2001 Newsletter(I think, I can't get into the Tool site at the moment to check)Blair said that the album was in the mixing stage and 3 months later it was released.

If this album is in the mixing stage and will be released in 2006 then there's a good 5 to 6 months to go on it.......double the time, double the discs???

In any case I'm aware that the first initial post could be bullshit, but from bullshit can grow mushrooms.................

C'mon guys, it's just another rumor, calm down.

or is it?


August 2005 and January 2006:

Double album: Teleincision/Eleptheria, released in two parts because fans can't handle the package as one.

Hey, What's wrong with being 27??

Anyway, which band member was the one in the chat? It seems strange to me that the guy who posted this size of news hadn't wrote who specifically was his source.

Sorry, tool isn't SOAD.

He did not say which member it was.

Can you give a link to the thread where that statement was made?

No he can't, he probably made the whole thing up!

I am getting tired of people just making stuff up and putting it in here just to mess with people.
This sound like one of those idiots that keeps saying the new album is going to be released on August 16th.

HAHAHHAHAHAHHA!!!!!!!!!

or is it?

is there really any point in talking about when the album is gonna come out? no one knows, the band probly doesn't even know yet, rabbits eat lettuce.

i saw maynard in toolspeak last night, he wasnt saying anything so i dont know if that has anything to do with it, but some people said he said hey to them and stuff before i got there.

This thread is more bullshit.

There actually was a band member on chat, it was Adam. August 4, midnight, Tool Army.

Don't know if any of the other things are true however...

Maynard was hysterical when I read some of his toolarmy-chat shit.
???: Maynard, do you eat food?
-Maynard-: ???, yes...I eat food, if you consider your sister food

I wonder how Adam and the others act in chats? And how do we know for sure its actually them every time, or ever?

As for the rumors on the first post, 1 makes me happy, 2 can potentially be very cool, and 3 would suck huge hairy balls.
If 2 means that its Meshuggah-esque heavy shit, I'm going to burn my Tool albums.

new album 1-24-06

Thats starting to sound more realistic.

Easy disproof:

"Wednesday, August 3rd. Because he’s in the studio recording with Tool, understandably, Danny can’t promise to be there again, but I sure wouldn’t bet against it. Last night at the Baked Potato he joined JZ and some others for a lengthy version of “No Quarter”, so he still gets out at night…"
- Blair, 02 Aug 05

So obviously they are still recording.

Blair couldn't lie about that?

Very interesting rumor. But because of #3 iI choose not to belive it. Dammit, can't they make a official statement. Like: new album will take another 5 month or something, just so you know!! I hate this rumor circus. Still cant help myself reading this shit.

the only way i would believe it is if dirtybanana gave a link to this site, which i doubt dirtybanana will because someone already said post the link AND dirtybanana has yet to do so.

This is just so fine cuz everyone waitssss it so hysterically !!! FUCKFUC! AAAAAA´HMGG!!

I don't want it to be heavy =( but i don't believe dirtybanaanha.
It could be aMAZING if it's double album!

Keeep on shokking_

No, he means tits and ass.

Lies.

All bands make claims about the next album being the heaviest shit you'll ever hear, but it never lives up to it when it actually comes out.

But Tool is not a band it's life, but actually they haven't said that the newa album is heavy. Actually.

TOOL, my |A|N|T|I| drug.

TOOL, my |D|R|U|G|

This new album better be good.

Life is but a dream, and patience is a virtue...

have faith man... im betting it will be amazing

i donno, me and my friend are wondering because each time i doubt it he reminds me of that jellybean article, which is pretty much the bible of all articles for most of us, i assume...its just...where does tool go?? what are they going to sing about?!??! how are they going to play! you know? im anticipating it..i just hope im not let down and hangin around

It's probably gonna be one of those albums where the first time you hear it you're like "WTF??" and then you force yourself to listen to it because your a helpless tool fan, and then on the 666th time, you love it and cannot stop listening to it.

Hopefully. Those albums are usually the best ones.
