Spongebob from Toolnavy pointed out that there is a Danny Carey drumskin from the New Zealand Big Day Out on Trade Me. The current bidding price is $100 (New Zealand I presume).

Pre-Sales, Reviews and a Picture

Posted on February 17, 2007 by hellboy

Toolarmy has been posting lots of details on the US Tour Pre-Sales. For all you US and Canadian Tool fans who are after a ticket, I’d suggest you log on and check out the details for your show before it’s tool late. Shows in Baton Rouge and La Cruces are on sale as I write this.

I’ve had a couple of reviews for the recent Tool Australian tour. Reeps and Charred Remains both submitted some interesting thoughts on the shows. Check them out:

Anyone else with a review can feel free to send them to me.

Finally, here’s another pic from my series of Big Day Out Photo’s. This one was taken during The Pot from memory.

Next Picture From the Stash….

Todays picture is not as exciting as the last few. It’s a setup shot which shows the techs setting up Tool’s video screens. Interesting, though as I said in my review, I’m not sure they got it 100% right.

Sydney Entertainment Centre 2007 Partial Bootleg

Posted on February 4, 2007 by hellboy

2L from alt.music.tool has posted a bootleg of the recent Tool show at the Sydney Entertainment Centre on the 24th of January, 2007. The bootleg only contains the first four tracks (Stinkfist, 46&2, Jambi and Schism) but is of pretty high quality. Here’s hoping the rest of the show is on the way.

Download it here.

Concert Reviews

Posted on February 3, 2007 by hellboy

Plenty of you guys have asked if you can post reviews of the recent Australian Tool shows. To cater for this I’ve been looking for a suitable WordPress plugin to cope with this kind of stuff. Unfortunately the search has come up empty at the moment. I am happy to publish them, so I propose the following:

Email me your review at hellboy1975@gmail.com
If your review is any good, I’ll post it as a page in a similar method to the 10,000 Days reviews
If your review is no good, I’ll reply to your email and let you know why I’m not publishing it. You will be able to re-submit it.
You review may be rejected for any one of the following reasons:

Excessively bad spelling and/or grammar. I will do some minor cleanup of the reviews, but won’t sit through 1,000 words of misspelt crap
Reviews that are thinly veiled attacks on the band. I’m after a review of the concert, not your views on why Tool suck.
Reviews that are negative will be accepted, however they must elaborate on why you felt it was so bad.
Any other reason I choose, though you will be told why.

I also reserve the right to edit any of these articles, though these edits will be limited to enhancing the readability of the article, not altering the tone of the review.

If you don’t like those terms, don’t send me a review. You are welcome to send photos or links with the review as well.

2 Pictures

I have two pictures for you mob to enjoy today. This first is a picture of Ryan‘s framed Signed Lateralus Vinyl. Ryan has devised some kind of clear frame so that it can be turned over when the mood suits. Nice one!

The other picture is from my Big Day Out collection. Knock yourselves out!

Shitty Pictures Alert

Ok, so I’ve got many crap photos (and some that are ok) taken with my Nokia N70 at the Sydney Big Day Out. I’m going to post one a day, starting from the good, and working down to the bad, or until I reach a point where enough people post “enough already”.

Deal?
