Happy Birthday Mr Jones

Posted on January 15, 2012 by hellboy

On this day way back in 1965 the word bore witness to the birth of Adam Thomas Jones, who we all know went onto become the guitar play for Tool, as well as occasional poster creator and movie sculptor. Adam will be on tour tonight, and who knows if they have any special plans for him on the evening. Maybe the crowd should break out into happy birthday when the lads a taking a bow following the show.

Anyway, Here’s a nice version of Lateralus, which contains not one, but two of my favourite Jones solos:

Tool Practise Clips

Maynard has posted a couple of Tool rehearsal clips similar to the ones he did recently for A Perfect Circle. It shows the band playing sections of Lateralus and EBA/The Patient. They are embedded below for your viewing pleasure!

It’s also worth noting that the Notes From The Crew section on Toolarmy has been updated.

Update: And here’s clip 3!

Playing Catchup!

I’ve been quite busy the last few days, so have a few bits and pieces to post, none of which are amazingly exciting though. At least it will clear my Inbox! I may also get around to posting my Soundwave review which is sitting in my Drafts folder!

The most important one is that Alex Grey and his wife were involved in a serious car accident last week. They both have a few injuries, but nothing life threatening at this stage. Most details on this accident can be found as the COSM blog.

Tubbs sent me an email the other day with a link to a Lateralus Signed Vinyl action on Ebay. Looks authentic and in good condition, so worth checking out for those interested in acquiring one of these increasingly hard to obtain collectables.

Oldesch came across a few Tool based Persona’s for the Firefox browser the other day. Persona’s are basically their new name for themes. Check them out:

If anyone else has any other Tool, APC, Puscifer, etc. themes for any medium that Fourtheye readers would enjoy, then feel free to send them to me.

Signed Lateralus Vinyl on Ebay

Posted on September 19, 2008 by hellboy

My mate Lachrymotion from Toolarmy is reluctantly selling his copy of the Signed Lateralus on Ebay. Current bidding puts it at US$89 but don’t be surprised if it goes for US$300+, especially considering it’s one that Adam has doodled on, rather than just a plain autograph.

Signed Lateralus been and gone!

Toolarmy has a post indicating that a limited quantity Signed Lateralus Vinyl was available earlier today. Unfortunately for those of you reading this for the first time, they appear to be sold out. No word on if any more of these will be made available at any point, though I’d suggest there wouldn’t be many more hidden away in the TA warehouse.

Signed Vinyl on Ebay

Mark emailed me today to let me know that he’s posted his Lateralus Signed Vinyl on Ebay. It looks to be in great condition, though it doesn’t feature a special signature by Adam like some lucky individuals managed to get. Bidding at the moment is at US$300 and seems to be shipping to the US only at this stage. Which is a shame, because given the strong Australian Dollar at the moment, it would be the idea time to pick up one of these……

Update: Just got an email back from Mark saying that he would ship to Australia, and that postage would be around $35-40 with insurance. If you’re an Aussie and want to make a bid then I sugget you contact him via Ebay to confirm.

I’m back from rain-sodden Newcastle, only to wake up in rain-sodden Adelaide. Seems like the rain follows me at the moment.

Any a couple of quick things for you today. jhnygsh from Toolarmy has some autographed 13th Step vinyl for sale on Ebay at the moment. Shipping only to the US, and bidding starts at US$250. If you’re keen to get some signed vinyl that’s not Lateralus, then here’s your thing.

Finally, Moose tells me that a autographed and framed Lateralus poster is available on New Zealand’s Trademe. It looks pretty cool, and is apparently 1 of only 10 signed during the Lateralus tour. Danny obviously didn’t have his purple pen for that session.

Signed Vinyl, Photos, Volto!, Isis

Greasy on Toolarmy today pointed out to us that there’s some more Signed Lateralus Vinyl on Ebay at the moment. Bidding on this one starts at $300, and as I write this there have been no bids. Here’s the link.

The Tool Hotline woke up from their deep slumber to post a couple of things. Firstly there’s this gallery of photos from a recent show in France. Secondly they mention that Volto! are playing a couple of shows, on on December 29 at the Baked Potato, and the other at the Knitting Factory on January 13. Check out the hotline since there’s a couple of photo’s of the guys linked there.

Finally, Blair on Toolband/Army tells us that Aaron Harris from Isis will be featured in the January 2007 issue of DRUM! magazine. Blair hints that he may be talking about the Mandala drums.
