Salival is a limited edition box set in CD/VHS and CD/DVD formats released in 2000 by American rock band Tool. It includes a 56-page book of photos and stills from their music videos.

Content

The track "You Lied" is a cover of a song by bass player Justin Chancellor's previous band Peach. The cover of Led Zeppelin's "No Quarter" was originally recorded for the soundtrack of Private Parts, but Tool subsequently decided against allowing it to be used, leading to criticism from Howard Stern, who had previously endorsed the band.[citation needed]

"Message to Harry Manback II", "No Quarter", and "LAMC" were recorded during the sessions for Ænima though they were slightly re-recorded before being released on Salival.[7]

Packaging

The front of the booklet included with the package has a small glossy square on its front. Live versions of the Ænima tracks "Pushit" and "Third Eye" appear on this box set plus a live version of the Opiate song "Part of Me". The instrumental song "Merkaba" was originally an intro for "Sober" when played live, however no tracks from Undertow appear here in live form. The name "Merkaba" is a reference to the Merkabah school of Jewish mysticsm as it relates to new age meditation.[8]

Upon initial release, the package came with two stickers on the cover; one announcing that the "new studio album" was due to arrive in stores on April 17, 2001, Maynard's birthday, though it was ultimately pushed back to May 15. The other sticker, a Parental Advisory, would be the fourth and last one to appear on a Tool release.

Rumors and leaks

As with other releases, there were rumors during the Salival period. Most notably, the band was said to be breaking up.[9][10] Maynard James Keenan said, "we mentioned some song titles and some dickhead went out and reserved all of the .com and .org names."[11]
