A mini-review of the Tool show in http://www.stuff.co.nz/3929432a10.html today revealed a couple of things: Serj from System of a Down joined the guys on stage for Stinkfist Sober Tool will be back in New Zealand (and presumably Australia) in September (or November or December – I’ve heard several different versions….) Just the news we were hoping for….. Update: I’ve seen the set list. I won’t post it for those who… Read More »Tool back in September
According to this “live” blog about todays Big Day Out, Tool have pulled out of a meet and greet session with ten fans. According to the post: Some stars are too big for their boots. A reliable source just tipped us off that BDO headliners Tool have pulled out of a meet and greet with ten die-hard fans. The Rock radio station ran the competition for three months giving the… Read More »Tool snub fans?
AntiSol tells me that the Big Day Out live stream for the New Zealand show will be interviewing Tool very shortly. If you’re online you might want to take a look: http://www.c4tv.co.nz/BigDayOut2007/C4attheBDO/tabid/215/Default.aspx Edit: I’ve either got a really crappy connection, or it’s a lousy stream, since it keeps stopping on me quite regularly. Visit at your own risk… Update: Looks like Tool have done and Axl Rose and not turned… Read More »Tool Interview
According the those crazy hippies at The Tool Hotline, the make up show for the cancelled San Antonio featuring Tool will be on the 26th of March, not April 10th like previously reported. Tickets may or may not go on sale tomorrow, and previously purchased tickets will be honoured. Find all the details at Ticketmaster
Well, the time has come. The Big Day Out Festival kicks off today in sunny Auckland, New Zealand. Tool should be getting on stage at around 9pm local time, so if you’re going, don’t miss out. Any of you in attendance feel free to email me the setlist and a review of the show. There is a live stream from todays Big Day Out. It should go live later today,… Read More »New Zealand Big Day Out Today!
Blair has posted a very Australian themed newsletter on Toolband/Army today, obviously in celebration of the upcoming tour. As usual it’s pretty light on Tool info, but heavy on weirdness.
A couple of things have happened over the last month, and as a result I’ve decided that it might be a good idea to change things for the Fourtheye Meetup in Sydney on the 24th of January: Mattw looked over the venue (the Covent Gardens Hotel), and suggested it wasn’t such a great spot after all. There is no support act for the show, so Tool may be starting earlier… Read More »Fourtheye Meetup
bms46and2 posted on Toolnavy today a link to an interview with Maynard on Asahi.com. It’s a pretty short one, and really doesn’t cover much we haven’t already heard before, but I’m sure some of you completists out there will want to read anyway. Here’s an excerpt: Maynard James Keenan, singer and lyricist with the U.S. heavy rock band Tool, has got a crush on Japan. “It’s my favorite place on… Read More »Maynard on Asahi.com
On this day 42 years ago, Adam Jones was born. Just as we did for Justin, this weeks poll will ask what song do you feel has Adam’s best performance. This weeks poll will allow you guys to add you own answers, though I’ve already added what I feel are the best tracks. Please check the list before adding yours since duplicates will be removed. Also, don’t bother adding “humorous”… Read More »Poll: What is Adam’s best performance?
Bit of a late one this week, since I’ve been pretty busy over the last few days due to our house being on the market and open for inspection! Last week I asked how many Tool shows were you planning on catching during the upcoming tour? Disregarding the many Fourtheye readers who either live overseas, or think that Tool suck (yet still feel the need to be here….), it seems… Read More »Poll Results: How many Tool shows will you attend on the January Australasian tour?
