The DVD’s have starting arriving at various parts of the US, and so far it sounds pretty good. Blair has posted some pictures of the menu on on Toolband/Army . Dranyam from TA has revealed that the commentry is provided the David Yow (ex- Jesus Lizard) on Schism, and Jello Biafra on the Parabola videos. Dammit I want mine now…..
Toolarmy members will also notice a couple of changes in the welcome message. What’s that humming in the background?
The Laterauls Signed Vinyls seem to be arriving (in the US I’d gather), and Pris0n from Toolarmy has posted some pictures. Here they are for your viewing pleasure:
Also, the Schism and Parabola DVD’s have shipped from TA as well. Hopefully Santa will fight off the Grinch and ensure that all these goodies arrive Down Under for Xmas.
From a recent post on Blabbermouth, Danny says:
TOOL drummer Danny Carey told Launch that while the new music was hard to describe, he thought fans would have no problem recognizing it. “All I can say is you should probably just look at the past TOOL records,” he said. “It’s just kind of the next stage of development. Some of the tunes are pretty heavy on this one. It’s still gonna be weird time signatures and all that stuff. It’s just what comes out of us, you know. We just try to be true to our chemistry when we’re in the little room in here together jamming, and what comes out comes out.”
Sounds good to me!
Just got confirmation from the guys at Tool Merchandising to say that the signed Lateralus vinyl has shipped. Who knows hoiw long it will take to reach Australia (let alone northern Queensland) but at least things are happening.
APC’s Josh Freese is a busy man and it looks like he’s all over the place again. He’s currently filling in on drums for Nine Inch Nails after Alex Carapetis was sacked. He’s also recently worked with Rob Zombie on his latest CD.
The Parabol and Schism DVD’s are now available from the Toolarmy Bazaar. Check out the TA Specialty section. The cost $9.98 each.
Also, Merchandise has confirmed that Signed Vinyls ordered during the chat will be sent on Monday, the later ones will follow shortly thereafter. Merry Xmas!
Blair has made a couple of posts on TA. The first one suggests that the Tool DVD’s will be available on Friday to order from the Bazaar. This orders will be collected over the weekend and then shipped on the following Monday and Tuesday, so any Americans should recieve them before they hit the shops. Other people like me will have to wait a little longer I suppose, but I’d rather stuff Tool’s pockets with money than Sanity’s. Now word on whether or not the Signed Vinyl will also be included in that shipping….
Blair also put an article up regarding the recently released “Turn Off Your Television” Shirt where Maynard gives us some details on it. They also mention that there’s only “Some final tweaking, segues, art direction, etc.” left to go with the new CD.
I should also mention that according to Buddyhead (a punk label allegedly), Maynard will be appearing in the movie Sideways II. I’ve never heard of Sideways 1 so I’m sure it’s going to be great……
Nemesis pointed out for me that Sanity.com.au have the new Tool DVD’s listed. They’re both around $16 and are actually imports of the US version (NTSC). Various people on Toolarmy have reported that the DVD’s are region coded (region 1 I think) which means those of you with Australian DVD players that use region 4, beware…..
Here’s the links to the DVD’s in case you want to order them:
Funny things are happening out at Toolarmy . OGT pointed out that certain pictures on the website have changed, many of whom believe somehow give clues as to the new CD’s release date (allegedly either 16.1.06 in the old, and 4.4.06 in the new). For your enjoyment, here are the pictures:
Click on the piccie for animated GIF goodness. Thanks to thethirdeye13 for that one.
Also mentioned on the site is the fact that Scott Reeder is releasing his solo album TunnelVision Brilliance shortly. It will be released by Liquor and Poker Music on Jan. 24, 2006
Finally, Maynard’s website has been updated, though as usual there’s nothing particularly exciting.
