I read an intriguing post on themelvins.net BBS today, which reads: Tool, Melvins, Ipecac Records Something HUGE soon. Just wait. It WILL be worth it you prepubecent derelicts. Oh, and Melvins as a four-piece=BEST YET. Is the big suprise some kind of Tool/Melvins collaboration to be released on Ipecac? Given the various record labels involved, this could go some way to explaining the delays in the surprise being released. The… Read More »Tool/Melvins/Ipecac Rumour
Now this is a tattoo!
This time courtesy of Amateur Chemist, who still had some money leftover after having lunch with Josh Freese. It’s a pretty cool review, and sounds like a good show all round, with Billy Howerdel and Josh Freese both making appearances, as well as the previously documented Danny Carey. Here’s a snippet: “Major Douche” made his usual appearance warning the audience “No flash photography or video was allowed!” I had heard… Read More »Yet Another Puscifer Review!
Patrick Surace has posted some awesome pictures from the recent LA Puscifer gigs up on his website. There are pics of the whole tribe, including Maynard, Danny, Tim Alexander, Milla and much much more. Well worth a visit!
Toolband and Toolarmy seem to be down at the moment (23:25 AEST) and have been down for a little while now. No inidication when they might be back up, or why they’re down. Some might suggest they’re being upgraded, who knows… Update: woke up and it’s working again. No changes. Hooray for technology!

Steve emailed me today to let me know that there are some rubmlings around Milwaukee that Tool may be playing this years Summerfest. No real evidence to back this up yet, but seems likely due to the festival confirmations so far.
Meats Meier has posted some cool pics of the recent LA Puscifer gig on his webpage. Check them out!
Johnny Firecloud (presumably not the dude in jail who leaked Chinese Democracy) from Antiquiet posted an extensive review of the recent LA Puscifer gig, that’s well worth reading: Gil Sherone (of Stolen Babies & Dillinger Escape Plan) pulled back-up duty for Alexander throughout the night, laying backbeats over the rhythm and filling out the band’s sound. He turned the sticks over to Tool drummer Danny Carey, however, who played on… Read More »Antiquiet Puscifer Review
A few months ago I posted about Josh Freese‘s new album Since 1972, and outlined the various packages that could be purchased. Many people suspected that much of this was a joke, but a recent blog post from the Amateur Chemist suggests that he’s coming good with his promises! It even suggests that there has been someone wealthy enough to afford the $20,000 package, which includes mini-golf with Maynard: Josh… Read More »Josh Freese Since 1972 Packages
