No New Tool OR a perfect circle in 2017

As always, I take all Tool news with a grain of salt. They thrive on tricking their fans.

you can bump this thread next year and change 2017 to 2018

I read an interview with their old bassist and he said he got tired of playing the same riff 10,000 times in practice for recording. They have had their current bassist for 20 years now and it appears he doesn't mind it. Although I could see how that kind of repetition could get monotonous.

their music is incredibly complex, I completely believe it takes a long time to put out an album.

This is laughable. Devin Townsend, Steven Wilson, Mikael Akerfeldt, Meshuggah, etc are all capable of consistent output as complex as Tool's.

How angry can you be when you are Maynard living in your Arizona vinyard.

Probably getting another pucifer album.

It's all a cashflow game. Tease new record, announce tour, play same set of songs from final two records with one song each from first 3, go away for a while and live on the riches, rinse, repeat.


I love Tool, but it has been long enough now that a new record no longer excites me. I went to the last show, and it was technically sound as always; however, it has become redundant due to the predictability of the setlist.

APC can EAD. I wasted money going to see them at the Red Rocks a few years back only to watch them play an emotionless, boring set of their remix album. I wish that were a joke.

So Allen Iverson was their old bassist?
