Neues Tool Album und Tour...

TOOL Confirmed For COACHELLA VALLEY MUSIC & ARTS FESTIVAL - Jan. 31, 2006 / TOOL Confirmed For Denmark's ROSKILDE FESTIVAL - Jan. 25, 2006

According to The Los Angeles Times, TOOL have been confirmed for the seventh edition of the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival, which will take over the small desert town of Indio, California on April 29 and 30. Tickets go on sale Saturday.

More than 80 acts are on the bill. Among other notables: DEPECHE MODE, FRANZ FERDINAND, PAUL OAKENFOLD, THE YEAH YEAH YEAHS, SIGUR RÓS and COMMON.

TOOL's set for the Sunday show would revisit the festival's first year, 1999, when that band memorably joined RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE on the closing night.

The concert is staged at Empire Polo Field and, although considered a big gamble in its early years, has become a template for U.S. stand-alone festivals. Last year, the festival single-day crowds reached 50,000, said Paul Tollett of Goldenvoice Presents, which created and promotes the event.

As previously reported, TOOL are one of the first three acts to be confirmed for this year's Roskilde Festial, set to take place June 29 – July 2 in Roskilde, Denmark. Also scheduled to appear are FRANZ FERDINAND and KANYE WEST. It was also reported by Norwegian national TV channel TV2 that TOOL will play Norway's Quart festival in early July. Both the Roskilde and Quart performances are likely to be part of a European festival tour in the summer.

TOOL are currently in the mixing stage on their new album and are reportedly looking at an April or May release for the disc, their first since 2001's "Lateralus". A video directed by guitarist Adam Jones is also said to be in the works, with members of the band preparing to embark on an an international press tour for the new effort. More information will be made available soon.

Wie bereits in der Chatbox gepostet. Ja, Tool sind scheinbar auch auf dem Rock am Ring wenn man der Februar Ausgabe des Eventim Magazins glauben schenken darf, weil dort taucht bei der Line Up Werbung folgendes auf:

...

Einfach nur schrecklich. .oO

Es müssen Solokonzerte her!

Ich finde es einfach schade, das man wieder hunderte von Euro ausgeben muss, um so ein Festival besuchen zu können, und dabei interessiert einen eigentlich nur eine Band. Speziel RaR und RiP bringen es imho überhaupt nicht - aber das soll jeder selbst entscheiden.

Für eine Soloshow hingegen würd ich egal wohin fahren.

TOOL RECORD MASTERED
Salma stopped dancing on January 29th. The next morning the members of the band flew to Portland, Maine to have the record mastered by Bob Ludwig. This was done on January 31, no doubt followed by a lobster dinner.

RELEASE DATES NOT OFFICIAL 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.

[02/08/06] - New Album

[FONT=Verdana]Rumors continue to fly around about album release dates, and now rumors are out about the title of the new album. A Seattle radio station this morning announced the title would be "Elephtheria", to which Maynard's response was "nice try." Even more amusing were the song titles they announced (these bogus names are here only so you can laugh and ask yourself if these sound more like Tool titles or Limp Bizkit titles) -- "Greed Lies", "Psychiatrical", "Karma", and "Feminist Souls." Yikes.
The new album title will be publicly announced first on the Tool Army site, and will probably spread like wildfire from there...

Für ein Solokonzert würde ich wohl bis nach England oder nach Spanien. Ich bin einfach der Meinung dass Tool nichts auf so einem Festival verloren hat, da sie wohl absolut nicht die breite Masse ansprechen werden die zum RaR oder RiP fahren.

Oh das glaub ich jetzt nicht unbedingt.... ich denke es gibt sehr viele die gerade wgen Tool zu RaR oder RiP fahren...
Und die die dort sowieso immer sind gehen miets eh nicht zu den Auftritten..
Ich kenne sehr viel Leute die fahren zu RaR nur wegen der geilen Stimmung...
Gut jetzt nur wegen der Stimmung die 120 Euro zahlen würde ich auch nicht..
Aber ist halt doch noch ein geiles Extra.. gerade auf dem Campingplatz.

Und wenn du so siehst wenn da vielleicht 3-4 Bands sind die dir gefallen lohnt es sich aufjedenfall... Und es gibt immer dann noch ein paar wo man denkt ach die könnt emna sich auch mal anschauen...
Wenn man nur mal schaut was die Rolling Stones für ein Konzert eintritt wollen, lohnt sich dagegen so ein Festival doch eher...

Also ich geh hin... Lieber bei RaR 5 Tage.... (gute Bands geiles Camping).... also irgendwo im Sommer auf nen langweilige Campingplatz oder so........

According to Billboard.com, Volcano has set a May 2 North American release date for the new TOOL album, entitled "10,000 Days". The 77-minute, 11-song prog-metal odyssey, which is said to be "packed with plenty of eight minute-plus twisted riff-a-thons, odd-tempo polyrhythms and the band's trademark, eerie interludes" (according to Kerrang! magazine), is the follow-up to 2001's "Lateralus", which debuted at No. 1 on The Billboard 200 and has sold 2.3 million copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
