The Toolband.com news seems to be up and running again, this time with a post from Blair telling people that he’s anticipating a great show at the Staples Center in LA tonight. Does this mean it’ll be great as in the first time they play 10,000 Days? Who knows. If you are going to the gig, let us all know what happens. J. Pirro has sent me a link to… Read More »Tool News and Reviews
The other day Bennet let us know that there were some further tickets for the Tool show in Sydney available only from Martin Place. It seems that some of you were able to get tickets, but it now looks like the ones that were there are gone. Well done for those of you who managed to score. I’m looking at doing some re-designing of Fourtheye in the coming weeks, and… Read More »Sydney Tickets Gone, Logo Design, Uncle Hellboy

Tom King from Lawrence.com has today posted a short interview with Danny, mainly covering growing up in Kansas and his drumkit. Check it out here. What’s your drum set-up now? Carey: It’s pretty much the same thing I’ve been using for the last few years. I have a basic acoustic kit with a couple of bass drums and four toms. I have a lot of electronic stuff surrounding it that… Read More »Danny Carey Interviw
Bennet tells me that there may be some Tool tickets left at the Ticketmaster in Martin Place. Apparently there is/was a sign say so, and a friend of his went in and was able to buy some gold (seated) tickets. No guarantees there are any left, or if this is legit in the first place, but for those of you who are desperate to see them, it’s worth getting in… Read More »Ticket Sales?
A few snippets today. According to several people there are unstantiated rumours going around in street magazines such as Beat saying there will be more ticket sales and/or shows coming up. Nothing to support this yet, but fingers crossed we should see some more action soon. For all those who are hanging out to hear 10,000 Days played on Tool‘s tour, Justin gives us an update in the Mercury News:… Read More »Tickets, 10,000 Days, Meshuggah
Well maybe not, but Dan Nailen from the Salt Lake Tribune does, and has posted a review of the recent Tool show in Utah. The review is nothing exciting, but there’s some nice pictures accompanying it. Enjoy!
For all you Melvins fans, here’s a great interview with Buzz from lambgoat.com. In case you only want to read the Tool related bit, here you go: What’s your view on Tool? I know you’re pretty close with some of those guys, but I’m just confused. I’m not talking about their music, but really, their morphing image. How did they go from this band who was writing mock-satanic/industrial songs with… Read More »Melvins Interview
ojisan_neo from Toolarmy today posted some great pictures from Tool’s recent show at The Gorge near Seattle (I think). There’s some amazing pictures there of the new set being used for the US Arena tour. Here’s one: For those wanting to be surprised by the set if/when it reaches Australia, I’d suggest you don’t follow the link….
While not directly Tool related, here’s an interesting article regarding the legality of scalping in Australia, and what governments, Ebay and sporting bodies are (and aren’t) doing to combat it.
