Waiting for new Tool music is as tedious for Maynard as it is Tool fans

As is the norm, Tool news arrived while I wasn’t able to post it (this time in transit between Indonesia and Australia), so I apologise for the slight delay getting this article online. Anyway, Maynard spoke with Rolling Stone recently (not sure how recently) where he talks about writing with his fellow Tool members as a tedious process: “I don’t write the music. They write the music,” he says of… Read More »Waiting for new Tool music is as tedious for Maynard as it is Tool fans

Fourtheye forum member Brett asked us for some questions for Billy a few days back, and he’s delivered some answers as part of his interview with the Perfect Circle guitar player.

Maynard with Joe Rogan next week

Riff messaged me today to tell me that when he was listening to the latest episode of the Joe Rogan Podcast he mentioned Maynard will be on next week. We’ve known Maynard will be back on the show for a while now, so it’s good to get some confirmation as to when. For those that missed the last interview, here it is!

October “Tool” Newsletter released

Blair has released his latest newsletter, which seems to have an Australian theme to it. Other than that it doesn’t really any Tool news that I can see. Perhaps the theme is a sign that us Aussies will get a fourth 10k Days tour to keep those creative juices flowing!

BIlly chats with Rolling Stone about Stone & Echo

An interview with Billy Howerdel from A Perfect Circle today by Greg Prato at Rolling Stone. Billy chats about the Greatest Hits album, By And Down, the Red Rocks shows, Ashes Divide and APC’s future plans.

They’re writing… Read More »BIlly chats with Rolling Stone about Stone & Echo

Puscifer are releasing a tour documentary of sorts on November 26th called What Is…, and they’ve just released a trailer for it: According to Amazon this will be released on both Vinyl and CD, though it seems odd there’s no mention of a DVD version (which I expect is the main release).

It’s been a while since we’ve had any solid answers on how songwriting is going with Tool, and today Blair has an update on Toolband for us: TOOL MAKING HEADWAY WITH NEW MATERIAL A couple of weeks ago I visited the Tool loft to try and get some kind of idea as to how things were progressing with the writing sessions now that the band was back hard at it.… Read More »Tool Songwriting Update
