This week I ask what you plan on doing for the rumoured Australian tour later this year. Considering that Tool were last here less than 12 months ago, and are touring on the back of an album some of you consider to be sub-standard, how many shows do you plan on seeing?
Last week I asked what Tool project you would like to see released next. Most of you are pretty keen on the Live DVD, which I’d say may actually never happen, at least not while the band are still together. Unsurprisingly alot of you also want Tool – The Movie. Personally I’d like the Live DVD, since I’m not sold on the idea of Tool – The Movie just yet….… Read More »Poll Results: What Tool Project would you like to see released next?
Auroboros from Toolarmy emailed me today, to tell me that his Mum tells him that Tool have been booked by Frontier Touring and will be playing in Melbourne on the 9th or 10th of December. The dates sound about right based on Maynard‘s comments earlier this year, but I guess we’ll have to wait and see as to how accurate this rumour is…..
Tool have recently added a new song to their setlist – Some Days It’s Dark by Death Lurks. No, I haven’t heard of them or the song either, but if you’re heading out to see the band soon, keep your ears open. You can also look forward to the drummer from Big Business joining the band onstage during Lateralus. Thanks to Ryan from Distortion Online for the tip! Edit: And… Read More »Some Days It’s Dark
A new post on Toolband/Army tells us that Osseus Labyrint will be displaying at the Bert Green Fine Art Gallery. It seems to be largely a visual show, but I’m sure it will involve some wierd walking at some point. It is noted that there will be a few Tool momentos at the show, so Tool fans in LA should probably check it out. Some of you may remember Osseus… Read More »Osseus Labyrint
This week I ask which Tool project you’d like to see coming out next. Obviously the band is going to do whatever the hell it wants, but what excites you the most?
Last week you were asked what Tool Website (other than Fourtheye of course) you go to get your dose of Tool gossip. Unsurprisingly, to me anyway, TDN/Toolnavy was the winner, with the comparitivly static Toolband coming second. The Tool Hotline have a big following too, and more people actually prefer it to Toolarmy. I wonder what position Toolarmy would take if it were free? TDN/Toolnavy 129 Votes Toolband 71 Votes… Read More »Poll Results: Which other Tool Website do you prefer?
Thanks to the Tool Hotline who tell me that Chicago band Russian Circles will be supporting Tool on the three UK dates on the upcoming tour. Sounds like they got the job because Isis, Pelican and These Arms Are Snakes weren’t available, that and Justin Chancellor seemed to like their music. Check out how they got the gig in this Drowned In Sound interview, then go and have a listen… Read More »Russian Circles to support Tool in UK
I had a chance to read the recent Guitar World article with Adam Jones, and it’s one of the best Tool articles I’ve read for a while. It reveals plenty of new info and some insight into Adam’s guitar playing. Here are some points I know most of you are interested in: The first video for 10,000 Days (presumably Vicarious) will be entirely in CGI has run into some “vicious… Read More »Adam in Guitar World
