Blair has released the August 2009 Tool newsletter. He talks about several things, including him being sick, Danny hosting a BBQ for the stage crew, Puscifer tour dates, and a list of events coming up. He also mentions that November 12th will be here soon (whatever that means).
He also talks about, and shows a picture of Danny’s new Gong.
Finally, he goes on to say “What do you think of that, Mr. Bottrill?”
Let the speculation commence!
According to a recent post by Blair, Adam will be a greeter at an upcoming Docters Without Borders function in Malibu:
Next week “Malibu Global Awareness” will be holding a series of fundraising events in support of “DOCTOR’S WITHOUT BORDERS.” ADAM will be a ‘greeter” at one of these “MID SUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM” events – helping with what is certainly a worthy cause on TUESDAY, JULY 14 at TAVERNA TONY (a Greek restaurant in the heart of Malibu). ALL… Once again… ALL HAPPY HOUR PROFITS on that day will be DONATED DIRECTLY to “DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS.” For additional information about the participating restaurants and the gala finale, please visit http://malibuglobalawarness.org and http://doctorswithoutborders.org .
TUESDAY, JULY 14
TAVERNA TONY (HAPPY HOUR 5:00 PM – 7:00 PM)

Sounds like a fun night if you’re in the area. If anyone goes along, ask him if those 10,000 Days vinyl are official, like a “source” of mine has suggested…
gnjasmkr send me a link today for an interesting item on Ebay. It is a copy of 10,000 Days on red vinyl. I’ve never seen one of these personally, and will presume it’s some kind of bootleg for now, but it begs the question – is the “big thing” a release of 10,000 Days on vinyl?
Edit: Link fixed!
Now this is a tattoo!
The lyrics for the 10,000 Days track Right In Two are now available on Toolarmy as a TA Exclusive, which means I won’t be posting them here.
I’ve been back up in Queensland this week, so things have been a little slow on updates for Fourtheye. Things should return to normal next week. Here’s a couple of items that have come across my desk:
For those that have missed the various comments, there is an interview of Maynard done by Patton Oswalt. Check it out here.
Ryan tells me that he’s selling his Signed Lateralus Vinyl on eBay. Bids started at $0 so it’s quite cheap at the moment. Don’t expect it to remain that way though!! EDIT: Link has been changed to a relisted auction!
Finally, Blair has posted on Toolband/Army about the recently discovered Salival Vinyl. He assures us it is a bootleg and in now way officially sanctioned by the band. Buyers beware! He also mentions that there are no plans for 10,000 Days vinyl, but if and when he hears there there are, he will post it.
Random Girl emailed me today to tell me that Travis Shinn’s website seems to have a few stereoscopic pictures of Tool members that didn’t make the 10,000 Days album cover. It also contains his photos from the Revolver article, as well as shots of other good (and not so good) bands.
For the stereoscopic ones, make sure you visit the Single section.
I had a chance to read the recent Guitar World article with Adam Jones, and it’s one of the best Tool articles I’ve read for a while. It reveals plenty of new info and some insight into Adam’s guitar playing. Here are some points I know most of you are interested in:
Go and buy the magazine when it comes out in your part of the world! I know I will.
10,000 Days would appear to be full of secrets (apparently) and last week I asked what your favorite was. It comes as no surprise to me that most of you think there isn’t a secret. And I am a little surprised at how many of you are waiting for the “real” album to be released, or maybe lots of you think it’s funny that there was ever talk of a decoy album at all….
New poll on it’s way!
This week I ask what is your favorite 10,000 Days secret? Do you dig the various synchronisations? Did you find the clues in the pictures? Anything else I may have missed?
