Blair has posted a short February newsletter. For once the contents a very much Tool related, so no bitching please. Blair goes into detail on how Danny tore his bicep muscle during an altercation with Rynne‘s dog Amos, and there’s even a picture of the cute fella for you to put on your dart boards (presuming you can bear throwing darts at such an adorable dog). Anyway, the good (unofficial)… Read More »February Newsletter
According to a recent post on Blabbermouth, Danny tore his bicep while lifting something at his home. He is expected to be examined by doctors again this week to determine exactly how long it will take him to recover. They also speculate that Tool may have trouble rescheduling shows due to many arenas sports commitments. I’m sure that might be a minor inconvenience, but I’m pretty sure these arenas are… Read More »Danny Injury Update
I came across this interesting Signed Justin Chancellor Photo on Ebay this morning. On the surface of things there’s not too many problems with it, but after looking at some Signed Vinyl pictures, I noticed quite a difference between the signatures: Can anyone confirm that this signature is in fact Justins, or are we looking at a fake?

According to an article on Billboard.com, Tool will be honouring their commitment to the Bonnaroo Festival. Personally, I’d expect that the US Tour will be rescheduled to begin after the festival. Thanks to the Tool Hotline for tip.
All the talk seems to be about Danny’s injury this week, so I’ve decided that this weeks poll will ask who could replace Danny?
This weeks poll cause a lot of discussion (as it was designed to) though overall it comes as no surprise to me to see that the vast majority of you don’t want Tool to call it quits anytime soon. Personally I don’t think the need to call it a day. As every band matures they need to make decisions which influence how and what they play, and Tool certainly aren’t… Read More »Poll Results: Should Tool call it a day?

According to a post by Carpetcrawler on Toolarmy, someone on a music biz chatroom has posted: “Looks like someone broke an arm… All or atleast some of the April/March tour to be rescheduled.” There’s not a shred of evidence to support this statement, but it’s a slow news day so why not. So don’t get too excited just yet, if anything else is heard then you’llread it here.
