A post from Blair today reveals that a Tool US Tour is on the cards for early 2016:
SOMETHING WICKED THIS… YOUR WAY COMES!
For those of you who only like NEWS about TOOL, here’s something that should be of great interest. The impenetrable veil of my dark scrying mirror FINALLY CLEARED today – enough so, in fact – that I could perceive a large heptagram on a complexly lit stage where four performers were dwarfed by dramatic video projections. Evidently the sonic and visual extravaganza that I was receiving is a rare glimpse of future TOOL U.S.A. TOUR DATES in the month of JANUARY, 2016 e.v. However, with some of the images in the depths of the black glass not being clearly distinct… YET, fans will have to keep checking back (SOON) on the Tool websites and Tool facebook page for an official announcement containing a list of the SHOW DATES, CITIES and VENUES, as well as for info about a tour support act(s). Regarding an opening band(s), what I was able to discern through the ever-shifting veil will in all likeliness be exciting to many Tool enthusiasts. STAY TUNED, FOLKS… as my trusty SCRYING MIRROR CONTINUES TO CLEAR…
I have no particular intel on this coming tour, so don’t have much to add! This is good news for Tool fans who are in need of their Tool live fix, and hopefully will be a good chance to hear recently introduced songs such as The Grudge and No Quarter.
Blair hints at a support band being one to excite Tool enthusiasts. We can rule out Failure as they are playing Soundwave down in Australia during January. The Melvins could be a contender. Maybe King Crimson, which I know would excite many! Yob could also be on the cards as well. Perhaps something from the Mike Patton stable – Tomahawk or Fantomas?
Of course, it means that the album is probably not going to happen anytime soon either, so let the complaining commence!
