Some interesting comments have surfaced on this website in the last day or so. MikeNews, who claims to be a friend of one of the members of Shapeshifter, tells us that his mate spoke with the members of Tool (or their management) regarding their planned December tour to Australia (and hopefully New Zealand). Everything seems to be in good hands, and it looks like Shapeshifter may support Tool again.
What he did mention though was that 2007 would be the last year of touring for Tool. Some suggested this may be the final leg for the 10,000 Days tour, but Mike clarified and told us it will be the last year of touring EVER.
Now this info is far from confirmed, I know nothing about MikeNews, nor his alleged connection with Shapeshifter, nor do I even think this kind of stuff would be discussed with a supporting band, but it once again raises the question, are Tool on the verge of calling it a day?
Should they? Should they at least let the fans know before their final tours? Should they have quit a long time ago? Will they stop touring but continue to record? Feel free to discuss…..
