All the time I get people asking me questions. “Hey Hellboy, when do you think Tool will be playing in country X?” “When do you think the Vicarious video will be coming out?”. I’m always happy to answer these questions, but the truth is, most of the time I don’t know the answer. Anyway, since it’s a slow news day, and in order to inform those of us who don’t… Read More »Lies, Rumours and Speculation….
Kassel on Toolarmy has posted a link to an article which gives us some more insight into Tool‘s video and lighting show, as well as some of the logistics behind it: It’s hard to explain the depth of what goes into the production at a Tool concert to somebody who is not in our industry. Much like their music, the production is intelligent and progressive—the interplay of video and lighting… Read More »Tool Live Production Details
According to Blabbermouth, Tool will be appearing on the Rock Show with Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson on Saturday December 9. The show is broadcast via the internet on BBC.co.uk and runs between 9:00pm and 12:00am. Now word on whether this will be an interview, or some kind of live performance, though given Tool’s usual reluctance to be recorded live, I’d suggest it’ll be the former.
The second announcement for the Big Day Out was made today, and joining Tool, Muse, etc are whole truckload of generally unexciting (to me anyway) bands. Highlights for me include You Am I, The Butterfly Effect, Afra & the Incredible Beatbox Band, The Streets and The Crystal Method. No one that I’d go out of my way to see, but I feel would put on a good show anyway. One… Read More »Big Day Out Update
Just as you’ve mortgaged your house to pay for the Platinum Lateralus, Maynard tells us that the Share The Love section on the Puscifer Website will contain some charity items being sold on Ebay. This will be the charity section of our shopping cart. Myself, relatives, and friends will be donating items to be auctioned on EBAY. The net proceeds of which will go to a charity of our choice.… Read More »Puscifer Share’s the Love
Just in case the Signed Lateralus Vinyl hasn’t burnt a big enough hole in your wallet, there is now a Lateralus “Platinum” Plaque available for Toolarmy members which celebrates Lateralus selling 1,000,000 copies. They’re not cheap though, at US$206.00 (plus US$16 postage to Australia, around $288 all up in Australian dollars), you’d better hope your credit cards aren’t maxed out…. It’s a limited edition apparently, though how limited we aren’t… Read More »Lateralus “Platinum” Plaques
Durga on Toolarmy posted this scan of a recent Tool article in Rolling Stone. Short but sweet. Enjoy!
The results from the Best of 10,000 Days poll are in, and it looks as though 10,000 Days is the favorite off the album, narrowly beating my choice Rosetta Stoned. 10,000 Days: 25% (125) Rosetta Stoned: 23% (117) Jambi: 19% (93) The Pot: 10% (49) Vicarious: 9% (45) Right In Two: 9% (44) Intension: 3% (13) The part where it ends and I never have to listen to it again….:… Read More »Poll Results
I thought I’d just head over to the Ticketmaster website and see how the Tool ticket sales were going, and it looks like the Sydney show no longer has any tickets left. I hope those of you who were looking for tickets were quick enough to get one…
Danny recently spoke to The Rock Radio where he talks about the next North American tour in March-April 2007: “The show in the springtime will definitely be different than the shows that went around this fall in America. Projection ideas will be added and changed, and props and whatnot will all evolve too, I’m sure. You know, it’s just the way our band always works. We work on that kind… Read More »North America Tour 2007
