Justin Chancellor had a chat with the Launch Radio Networks the other day and he had this to say: “Honestly, I don’t know,” he said. “We’re in the second year of this tour already and it won’t be long before people have said it’s five years already.

The Tool Hotline tell me that Adam Jones will be taking part in the Shred School event held at the Millenium Biltmore Hotel in LA on the 4th of August. Guitarists and Tool fans would be crazy not to go. As a side note, the Millenium Biltmore is where my wife and I stayed on our honeymoon!

Looks like the next act to be supporting Tool on this tour is Big Business. For those who are unfamiliar with them, they are the band that recent merged with The Melvins for the great (a) Senile Animal CD. They also have a new CD coming out called Here Come The Waterworks, and it’s pretty good. The play with Tool from the 24th of June to the 18th of July.
