An email came out today from Toolarmy (I didn’t seem to get a copy, despite being a member), asking for help in locating some specific pieces of Tool art.  If you have any thing listed below in your collection, then please check out the website mentioned and submit it.

Dear Tool Army,

The band would greatly appreciate a little help. We are looking for samples of advertisements that contain certain artwork that were used in advertising Tool shows and merchandising. Specifically, we are looking for flyers, posters, magazine ads, newspaper ads, etc., that advertise Tool and contain any of the following artwork. – Tool Wrench
- The eye from the cover of Aenima
- The picture of the white box on the back of Aenima
- The Opiate Priest that appears on the cover of the Opiate
- The Stinkfist characters
- The Prison Sex characters
- Novus Opiate Seclorum
- Medicine Man
- Infiniteeth
If you have anything like this, please scan and send the picture of the whole ad to us athttp://www.pure-eng.com/~toolemail/. If you know when and where the ad was posted – that’s even better.
Visit Our Website Thanks for your support!

Feel free to speculate on what this is really about below!  Thanks to funguy for the tip!

Update: There is some speculation that this may be a scam.  I don’t think it is, but have sent an email to Alan Jones  (Adam’s brother, and Tool’s attorney mentioned in the email) for a comment.  In the meantime, if you’re especially protective of your email address, don’t submit anything.

Update 2: It’s not a scam

GH4 Removed? Maynard’s movie

As pointed out on The Tool Hotline, the reference to Guitar Hero 4 on Alan Jones‘ website has been removed. I guess maybe Tool (or Neversoft) aren’t ready to reveal this snippet yet. Despite the removal of this info, I consider the Guitar Hero rumours fact rather than speculation.

Also, according to this article on IMDB, Maynard is appearing as the Hippie/Chauffeur/Pilot/Bartender/Butler/Bait Shop Clerk in the upcoming David Michaels movie The Other Side. Thanks to Henry for the tip there.

Guitar Hero 4 Confirmed

Ronnie sent me an email today pointing me to Alan Jones‘ website (Adam‘s brother). On the Bits page it mentions:

Doesn’t all good summer fun begin with some yard work? Doing some of that… but I did have some real fun in LA on my last trip. After getting all of my work done and closing a deal for Tool (GH4) I spent the last day of my trip in Catalina which is a gorgeous little island off the coast. The ferry ride is about an hour. I made some new friends with a Texas Ranger and his wife – Justin and Courtnie Chambers – and spent the day with Adam, Camella, Rynne, and Aaron Harris of the band Isis.

From that statement I’d now consider this a done deal, and probably one of the happenings Blair has mentioned in the last few months.

The rest of the article is well worth reading too. It confirms a couple of things Blair mentioned recently and talks about a golf day with Danny and King Buzzo.
