Still so long to wait

Great to hear it is coming though.

Big Chris · 15 Feb 2006 at 21:49

I'm so excited I might actually... no, I have actually just wet myself.

Other than RATM's Evil Empire, I can't think of a release I've anticipated this much, here's hoping it lives up to all expectations.

Sorry... where on Toolband does it say that?

Wyrdo · 15 Feb 2006 at 23:29

In the Feb newsletter.

Also on the main news page, 3rd Feb:

Although there are lots of release dates being bandied about, NONE are official as of this posting. However, in all likelihood, the CD will be released sometime in MAY, and hopefully earlier in that month as opposed to later. As soon as the date becomes official (or, as soon as I'm told that it's official) I will post it on the site, and then some of you can respond that it's old news.

Damn I'm blind. Read the whole thing last night (boy that was an effort of will). Blair is a complete nut job. 'I don't really care about new Tool material, hell I haven't even listened to all of Opiate'. Then why are you running the official website for Tool?!?

i think i've just come.

SidewinderINC · 16 Feb 2006 at 13:27

Awesome!!!!!!

wonder whether they'll play a fest. to promote ??

Burbleflop · 16 Feb 2006 at 14:57

I can't wait! I'm told that my Schism and Parabola DVD's have arrived and are waiting in the office for me. I guess I'll have to take a detour on the way home on Saturday.

My mate seems to think they'll be at Download but I'm sure he says the same every year!

Liefrich · 16 Feb 2006 at 16:43

Probably one of my favourite ever bands, they have so much depth to thier music unlike most bands some of which im only just discovering.

Im really worried it wont live up to all thier previous albums but im sure and hope it does and surpasses them (if thats possible)

scoobyrichuk · 16 Feb 2006 at 17:12

Yes this is the news I wanted to hear. I'm more excited about this than any album released in the last few years. I pray they play at Download, seeing Tool live for a second time will make my life complete!

rOAdeh · 17 Feb 2006 at 15:23

there is a strong rumour saying theyre doing reading/leeds this year ... not heard anything about download

cleanbluesky · 17 Feb 2006 at 18:06

Cant see them doing Leeds/Reading - its just not their crowd

rOAdeh · 17 Feb 2006 at 18:25

check the lineups and rumours on www.e-festivals.co.uk ... strong rumours are rarely wrong in my experience from the last couple of years although i do agree doesnt seem like their kind of average crowd.

download has now been added as a rumour btw in the last couple of days so i'll retract part of my previous comment

ruffneck · 18 Feb 2006 at 19:49

I heard the same rumour, that they're playing reading this yr
