TOOL claims “shocking amount of new songs”

Album Watch 2016, COMEONALREADY, TOOL2016

Tool is saying they have shocking amounts of new songs in the chute!  The folks over at AlternativeNation.net report on a Reddit user who described his meet and greet with the band.  The user D1g1talS0ul claims that during the meet and greet Adam played a riff from the new album and said there’s so much music they could do two albums *but* only 5 songs “meet their (tools) standard right now.”  Here’s the link with the post.  TWO albums (there’s those caps again) that’s crazy talk right?  Take what you will from that I suppose because the word was the two album rumor was bogus a few weeks ago now we have more references.

At this rate everyone would probably just be happy with one new album for now.

New TOOL album to be released ‘soon’

Album Watch 2016, COMEONALREADY, Rumors, TOOL2016, ,

If we’re to believe the latest rumors a new TOOL album will be released ‘soon.’  Let’s get right to it.  First we have Justin saying it’s “in the oven” (around the 9min mark is the goods for those of you with little patience).  This can be taken in a myriad of ways, what kind of oven, at what temp, for how long???!?!  More questions than answers but!!

Then Danny is a guest on the Seth Myers Show and Seth says the album is “coming sometime soon” and apparently Danny acknowledges this.  Now to me this is flimsy as all hell, *BUT* then Reddit comes in and two posts fan this itty bitty teensy weensy small flame to something of an inferno.

But wait there’s more!!!

“He says the album is in mastering. Obviously he might be shitting me, but he hasn’t lied to me about anything yet. At the very least he’d be more likely to have actual insight than the average bozo.”

PanamaRed987 chimes in with: “Definitely plausible since they have used Bob Ludwig from Gateway Studios in Maine to master ‘10,000 Days.’ Would Danny be on the east coast for the whole week just to be on Seth Meyers? Maybe, but maybe not.”

These Redditors make for a very convincing argument to the validity of a new album coming soon.  In this writer’s opinion I am sold on the East coast trip and the Bob Ludwig connection.  Either we’re continuing to get played or we may very well see a TOOL album very very soon.  Comment your thoughts on whether you agree we’ll see new TOOL soon or not!!

This TOOL post title stinks….

COMEONALREADY, TOOL2016

I got nothing folks lol.  I thought by now we would see something anything but It’s a week or so shy of June 2016 and NO ALBUM.  At best we have Maynard’s take on Trump, his remarks in March on not being able to move forward, and his memoir getting a title.  All basically a bunch of who gives a shit.  I need a new album, I’m listening to Taylor Swift for christ sakes (ok I know lame excuse) haha.  But seriously we need this album already, so lets hope the guys can pull it together and get this thing done soon.

On another note anyone who ever reads this and digs beer and death metal should try and get to TRVE Brewery in Denver, Colorado and check it out what is the best death metal brewery ever!  Here’s their website check it out.  Good beer and about 6 blocks from Illegal Pete’s if you dig Mexican food too.

 

Maynard implies no TOOL music ready yet for harmonies or lyrics

COMEONALREADY, TOOL2016

Seems the only folks making news is Maynard and Puscifer anymore but we did get a sad little nugget from Rolling Stone’s interview with Maynard, found here.  Basically the implication and short of it is that TOOL have not provided him with any music to which he can write “lyrics and melodies”.  Seems 2016 is going to be what we are stuck with, hell maybe 2017 at this snail’s pace.  It’s become very hard to be a TOOL fan anymore lol.  But we will persevere as that’s what we do right? (or we just don’t have a choice hahaha).

With that aside and out of the way the article is pretty good in my opinion.  I love Maynard’s take on life and humankind.  The societal remarks are one of the few times I laughed out loud reading an interview article.  Brilliant brilliant man our Maynard is, guess that’s why we all dig him.

On to Puscifer, granted only two songs out now from the new upcoming album but I’m not feeling it yet.  I have to say out of the 3 projects Puscifer is the one I have the hardest getting into, I can’t figure it out.  Don’t get me wrong I love a few songs from the various albums (Indigo Children and just about every song on Conditions of my Parole is probably my most favorite album so far).

Well I am out of things to say I want to try and keep this primarily a TOOL blog and there’s not much TOOL goings on.  Take care, be cool to each other, and stay patient.
