'''''Salival''''' is a live, outtake, and video album, released as a limited edition [box set](/source/box_set) in [CD](/source/Compact_disc)/[VHS](/source/VHS) and [CD](/source/Compact_disc)/[DVD](/source/DVD) formats in 2000 by American [rock](/source/Rock_music) band [Tool](/source/Tool_(band)). It includes a 56-page book of photos and stills from their music videos.

== Background ==
The live track "You Lied" is a [cover](/source/cover_version) of a song by bass player [Justin Chancellor](/source/Justin_Chancellor)'s previous band [Peach](/source/Peach_(band)). The cover of [Led Zeppelin](/source/Led_Zeppelin)'s "[No Quarter](/source/No_Quarter_(song))" was originally planned to be used for the soundtrack to ''[Private Parts](/source/Private_Parts%3A_The_Album)'', but Tool subsequently decided against allowing it to be used, leading to criticism from [Howard Stern](/source/Howard_Stern), who had previously endorsed the band.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://exclaim.ca/music/article/tool-stepping_out_from_shadows|title=Tool Stepping Out From the Shadows}}</ref>

''Salival'' is the second and final official Tool release (as of 2025) to feature a substantial amount of live material (Tool's other official live release, consisting of songs primarily from Lollapalooza '93, is available on the out-of-print ''[Sober – Tales from the Darkside](/source/Sober_(Tool_song))''). The tracks were recorded from several different shows prior to ''Salival''{{'}}s release in 2000; however, because the booklet merely lists locations without date information, the exact sources are unconfirmed. Likely candidates for most of the recordings are the 1998 summer tour,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://toolshed.down.net/tour/summer98/980815.html|title=Summer 1998 Tour Reviews}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://toolshed.down.net/tour/summer98/980821.html|title=Summer 1998 Tour Reviews}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://toolshed.down.net/tour/summer98/980813.html|title=Summer 1998 Tour Reviews}}</ref> though the San Diego recording could be "Third Eye," "Pushit" or "Merkaba" from spring 1997.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://toolshed.down.net/tour/spring97/970316.html|title=Spring 1997 Tour Reviews}}</ref>

Live versions of the ''[Ænima](/source/%C3%86nima)'' tracks "Pushit" and "Third Eye" appear on this album plus a live version of the ''[Opiate](/source/Opiate_(EP))'' song "Part of Me". The live instrumental song "Merkaba" was originally an intro for "[Sober](/source/Sober_(Tool_song))" when played live, however no tracks from ''[Undertow](/source/Undertow_(Tool_album))'' properly appear here in live form. The name "Merkaba" or Merkabah translating to "Mer-Light", "Ka-Spirit", "Ba-Body" is the divine light vehicle allegedly used by ascended masters to connect with and reach those in tune with the higher realms.  A reference to the [Merkabah](/source/Merkabah) school of Jewish mysticism as it relates to new age meditation.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.crystalinks.com/merkaba.html|title=Merkabah, Ezekiel's Wheel - Crystalinks|website=www.crystalinks.com|access-date=June 17, 2019}}</ref> "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.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://toolshed.down.net/faq/faq.html|title=The Tool FAQ}}</ref>

As with other releases, there were rumors during the ''Salival'' period. Most notably, the band was said to be breaking up.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.statenews.com/article.phtml?pk=13061|title=Breslin hosts heavier sound|first=Scott|last=Kline|work=[The State News](/source/The_State_News)|date=October 17, 2002|access-date=April 9, 2007|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050104060741/http://www.statenews.com/article.phtml?pk=13061|archive-date=January 4, 2005}}</ref><ref name="FresnoBee">{{cite web|url=http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1G1-94564619.html|title=Tool tops weekend menu.|first=Mike|last=Osegueda|work=[The Fresno Bee](/source/The_Fresno_Bee)|date=November 22, 2002|access-date=April 9, 2007}}{{dead link|date=February 2019|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}}</ref> [Maynard James Keenan](/source/Maynard_James_Keenan) said, "we mentioned some song titles and some dickhead went out and reserved all of the .com and .org names."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.theage.com.au/news/music/is-anyone-listening/2006/05/03/1146335806864.html|title=Is anyone listening?|work=[The Age](/source/The_Age)|pages=1|date=May 5, 2006|access-date=January 18, 2008}}</ref>

== Artwork and packaging ==
The album is packaged in a black box sized 8.25" × 6.75" × 2" featuring the "Salival man" with outstretched arms. It is contained within a translucent slipcase that features the band's logo on the front. The front of the book included with the package has a small glossy square on its front. 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 37th birthday, though it was ultimately pushed back to May 15. The other sticker, a [Parental Advisory](/source/Parental_Advisory), would be the fourth and last one to appear on a Tool release.

The audio CD portion of the album is contained within a disc tray at the back of the 56-page book, which has similar dimensions to and is only slightly larger than a standard CD jewel case.

=== Album typos ===
The first pressings of ''Salival'' contain typographical errors, as well as the VHS edition having red tape. Later editions do not have these typos. The following typos are found in the CD booklet.

* Aloke Dutta and Paul D'Amour's names are misspelled as ''Aloke Dutto'' and ''Paul D'Mour''.
* "Stinkfist" is listed as "Stink Fist."
* "Message to Harry Manback II" is spelled "'''''Messege''' to Harry Manback II.''" <!-- sic -->
* The playing order of the videos on the VHS are listed in reverse chronological order.
* The track ordering of "Merkaba" and "You Lied" is incorrect.

A typographical error made it into VHS Version 61422-31158-2R; Stinkfist was spelled 'Stinkfest' on the label sticker.
