Even after the 1000th time, Lateralus is still the best song ever.


Yes, there I said it. Lateralus is the best goddamn song ever.

Yeah thats just such an awesome song.

Any insight on when they are going to announce summer tour dates?

After the Pot video, before the website redesign, before the new TOOL album, but after a few more of Maynard's wine signings.

Hell probably after all the Lakers too (like DC has time for rehearsals when the Lakers are playing)

You know, that sonuvabitch DC made us wait over an hour because he had to get from the staples center (where the lakers were playing) to the venue where Volto! was at!?

Aenima is the greatest album to come out of the 90's.

you are entitled to your opinion, but sorry charlie, TDS stomps all over aenima, even though i really like aenima, there is just no comparison,

You're right. Aenima is the greatest album to come out of the 90's


TDS has some awesome tracks, but they don't reach the epic-ness of Aenima. I mean seriously, the first 5 tracks (Stinkfist -> Eulogy -> H. -> 46&2 -> Hooker With a Penis) is one of the greatest 5 track segments I've ever heard (with the absolute winner being the best album of all time, DSotM).

Sorry dude, TDS just doesn't have that same epic-ness

What's even worse is I can barely listen to TDS (and let's not talk about PHM...) since the live versions of the same songs are soooooooooooo much better

And it will be the best forever!

And I love fibonacci sequence in the lyrics at the beginning.

Lateralus is pretty much the best album ever. Perfection first note to last.

yep, that is just one more reason nin rocks, i think tool is better live too though, i still like PHM and TDS, for me they still hold their value,(and i always thought eraser was epic) and HLAH is just an awesome song no matter what...

nah, I find Tool studio > NIN studio, but NIN live > Tool live

I <3 both

I luv tool though there videos scare the shit out of me

The seemingly all-knowing Blair posted:

As of now, there are only about a dozen shows planned, scattered throughout the United States of America. When the shows are confirmed, and the BAND’S booking agent and/or management gives me the go-ahead - and ONLY when they give me the go-ahead (for contractual obligations), I will post them.

He also goes on to discuss the possibility of a Toolarmy Pre-Sale for these shows, which are supposedly happening for most of the gigs.

So, you figure if there are a dozen shows...

1 = Lollapalooza, IL (confirmed)
2 = All Points West Festival, NJ (confirmed)
3 = Mile High Festival, CO (confirmed)
4 = XEC Center, MN (confirmed)
5 = ? Milwaukee, WI (rumored)
6 = ? All Good Festival, WV (rumored)
7 = ?
8 = ?
9 = ?
10 = ?
11 = ?
12 = ?

I have heard ONE announcement for an Atlanta date on a radio station a couple of weeks ago. Though, I have not heard or found anything else about this.

still no new tour dates. ive been checking everyday for them. its may already, summer is just around the corner. the anticipation is killing me.

Hey I was wondering if someone familiar with TOOL mythology could tell me this:

What exactly was TOOL's relationship with the late great Bill Hicks? I know they took him on tour with them (a comedian opening for a rock band?). I heard he inspired Maynard to try stand-up.

What was their relationship really?

Let me just lay this out real solid for everyone no one is a bigger Tool fan than me I even have an enormous seven point Tool Army star on my abdomen

But fellas Tool = Toast

Even such a supposed "enlightened" band has succumbed to the throes of fame and stardom. The thickening of their wallets has led to to dilution of there creativity and relevance.

10,000 Days was a spit in the face. The misinformation leading up to its release was disrespectful to their fans whether they had anything to do with it or not(they did) they could of quelled these rumors with some simple news updates.

As far as the content of the album its self that was even worse. Tool could have scaled it down to a 4 track maxi-single instead of wasting my $18.99 on some glasses and a bunch a dissonant segs.

Adam Jones released the video for "Vicarious" two years after the single and now he says he is working on the video for "The Pot" now? laughable he seems to know how to set his release dates right after I stop caring. As good as his videos are if you've seen one you've seen them all. Prison Sex really shook me up when I was a kid they just don't have that effect or any effect on me anymore!

Then we have the 10 song setlist for there 10KD tour? 10 songs?!?! thats it?!?! I drive 2 hours and spend 60 dollars on a ticket wait in line for hours for 10 songs? Fuck you

As for Pusicfer and Arizona Stronghold Vineyards I think both of these projects are social experiments by Maynard to see exactly how far his rabid fan base will follow him. I would rather listen to a bag of cats than his new solo album and who the fuck wants wine from a desert or wine period? I'm sure these provide him with much entertainment, because it is not entertaining to anyone else.

My prediction: Maynard next project will be a yacht racing league.

just look at this goofy douche clot wasting everyones time:

I hope I'm wrong though

another album the scale of Lateralus would be better than fucking a 10 right about now

i've always thought people were lucky to get anything out of tool outside the albums. even salival is a bitch to find a real copy without paying through the teeth or getting it off a torrent or some other bullshit.

i'm just happy with the albums i have and a couple of dvd singles i've got. anything else is a bonus. i'm actually more musically interested in a perfect circle and puscifer in recent times anyway. the last tool album i truly loved was lateralus.
