Several readers have told me to tune in to JJJ at 6am tomorrow morning for some big Tool news. No doubt it’ll be a tour date or two, maybe even an early Big Day Out announcement? Or even better, maybe they’re doing their own tour in January with Isis as has been mentioned to me before. Set your alarms!
According to Maynard’s Myspace site: greetings from some hotel room in Seoul, Korea. i know i’ve said it and said it, but it looks like we are about a week or so away from launching www.puscifer.com just a few finishing touches on the backend, a few MP3 and .gif uploads, some splash page construction, etc… then we launch. Cherie did some .gif photography for the merch section which should be… Read More »Puscifer coming soon
Blair makes another Toolarmy exclusive post today outlining several things that will not be appearing on tour. Those wanting to see Danny in a spinning Motley Crue style drumkit will be dissappointed. Personally I’d like to see: Some form of UFO and/or kettle. The ToolIsisBigBand. With subsequent release on Ipecac Adam, Justin, Danny and Maynard in different spots on the stage. Third Eye, just because I’ve never seen it live.… Read More »What’s not on the tour
This year, my nomination goes to James, who found this link: http://www.ticketmaster.com.au/search/search.asp?type=EVENT&search=tool For those who can’t be bothered reading, tickets go on sale soon for a show in Melbourne at the Myer Music Bowl on the 31st of January 2007. Looks like a Big Day Out sideshow to me…. Edit: The date has since been removed from the site. A glimpse of what’s to come, or a genuine mistake? Edit… Read More »Australian of the Year Nomination
Here’s an article I read this morning from SignOnSanDiego talking about the events of the recent San Diego concert, during which 15 people were injured. If found the article to be quite interesting, and talks in depth about the responses by the local authorities, and praise for Maynard and the band in how they dealt with the situation. Sadly it seems that some of these injuries are life threatening, so… Read More »Followup to San Diego
Yaz on Toolarmy posts that Japanese retail is showing that a Vicarious DVD will be release on the 6th of September. No images or further information was made available, so your guess is as good as mine as to what actually appears. For those with short memories it was rumoured a while ago that the DVD may contain a Wings For Marie/10,000 Days video and/or some live footage.
Blair made a couple of posts today, one a Toolarmy exclusive which talk about the upcoming arena tour. Firstly he suggests that Tool will be visiting the southern parts of the US not already mentioned, though this may not be until they get back from Europe/Australia. I guess this means Tool down under immediately afther the Euro tour winds up in December? Not too surprising i suppose, and a source… Read More »Tour Rumours
Blair posts on Toolband/Army today that there’s an interview with Joe Barresi and Bob Ludwig about the recording of 10,000 Days. Certainly one that I missed, and a very interesting read as well. Check it out here. Tool is a dynamic band: intricate and intense, brutal and subtle. Each album is an aural adventure full of high-caliber musicianship, sick humor and sonic surprises. They create hard-edged, surreal portraits with driving… Read More »Joe Barresi and Bob Ludwig on 10,000 Days
toolapc46269 from Toolarmy posted this link today to Joshua Davis’ diary. It looks like the new website will not be going ahead despite a massive amount of artwork having been done. Plenty of good examples on this page. What did you guys think of it? Toolish or not? Does it even matter?
According to SignOnSanDiego there was a crush at the Street Scene concert in San Diego last night during the Tool set. Around 15 people were injured and sent to hospital despite pleas from Maynard for the crowd to take it easy. I don’t think I really have to say this to Fourtheye readers, but if you’re at a Tool gig, show a little decorum and don’t just mindlessly rush the… Read More »Crush in San Diego
