This week I ask a controversial question in regards to Tool’s set list. Many of you complain that there is too little variety in the current list. Some argue that since the presumption is that the majority of people see only one show per tour, this isn’t a big deal, while others defend it by suggesting the set needs to stay the same due to staging reasons. How do you… Read More »New Poll: Does a repetitive set list alter your view on Tool’s live performances?
It’s been speculated for many years now that one day there may be a Tool movie. Adam‘s indicated that he’s keen, but due to band commitments, red tape and the incorrect alignment of planets this may not happen for a while. To help bide the time, I decided to ask you what genre you think the movie should be? Surprisingly to me, all four categories I suggested all had about… Read More »Poll Results: What genre should Tool – The Movie be?
Shinji has given me the link to a great interview with Maynard by Spin Magazine. Maynard talks in depth about his music, in particular Puscifer, and about his life in general. He also comments that Tool will be sticking around, while A Perfect Circle are dead. One of the best and informative interviews I’ve read with Maynard, so make sure you check it out.
Blabbermouth reports that Billy Howerdel, guitar player for A Perfect Circle will be releasing his solo project Ashes Divide in March 2008. The album will be release on the Island Records label. According to the post Howerdel played all parts on the record except for the drums which were done by Josh Freese. The first track Enemies can be heard on the Myspace site. Sounds like APC minus Maynard to… Read More »Ashes Divide released in March 08
Brandon emailed me to day to inform me that Amazon has an image of the Vicarious cover on it’s site. There’s also another review of the DVD on Amazon which again mentioned live footage. Rather than suggesting there’s a whole concert on it, it tells us that there’s live versions of Vicarious and Swamp Song from the shows in Las Vegas earlier this year. A couple of live tracks sounds… Read More »Vicarious DVD Cover
TripleJ today posted some very brief details on the Vicarious DVD: Tool release Vicarious, which includes a documentary on the visual effects work used to make the music video, as well as lots more special features. Nothing we don’t already know… Word is that the Australian release date for this DVD is the 15th of December.
I stumbled across this picture of Danny signed by the man himself on Ebay today. It looks legit enough, and current bidding puts it at US$20.50.
Nuckfuts tells me that 93rock.com have a guitar autographed by all members of Tool available on their website. All proceeds benefit Broward Best Buddies, whoever they are… It’s not a Silverburst unfortunately.
Indridcold on Toolarmy posted this today.
