For the Tool Collector who has everything, you can now buy Maynard’s Pants. That’s right – this Ebay auction claims to have the actualy leather pants worn by Maynard in the Undertow photo shoot. According to the description they are “beyond dirty”, and who knows if they’re legit or not! Bidding starts at US$185. Thanks to MrManBack from Toolarmy for the tip.
Blair has posted the October/Halloween Tool Newsletter, which mainly outlines his and Danny‘s trip to the Guitar Hero World Tour party in LA. A somewhat interesting read, but I’m sure most Tool finds will find the following statement much more interesting: Oh, one more thing: “No”, GHWT wasn’t “the big thing” (your words) alluded to in earlier posts. I believe that’s still a go. In the meantime, keep on rocking… Read More »October Newsletter
The Gauntlet has a (very brief) article on Maynard, the Wine Signings and the new Puscifer Store and I picked up this little tidbit: Responding to rumors of a live incarnation of Puscifer and a possible Las Vegas outing this February, Keenan offered no confirmation but a knowing smile. Not really much point reading the rest of the article unless you’re a die hard.
A Tool site that’s been around for a while now, Tool Collector has had a change of URLs recently. The site, formerly toolcollector.net can now be found at http://www.toolcollector.nin-au.com/ For those that are interested, the webmaster Ryan keeps a record of all the Tool releases he’s collected over the years, with plenty of pictures to gawk at. Well worth a visit for most Tool fans.
I read this in Maynard‘s Myspace post the other day, but for some reason thought nothing of it. Thanks to Jake for pointing out to me that the Momma Sed video is now streaming on Myspace. It seems to be a full version of the Sunglasses ad that we saw a month or so ago. Momma Sed
Oldesch on Toolarmy tells me that there is a new Puscifer remix album available on Puscifer.com called D is for Dubby. This album contains nine tracks all remixed by Lustmord: Dub remixes from “V is for Vagina” by the elusive O.G. Goth legend, LUSTMORD. Lot’s of Dub out there in the world. Some of it is actually done correctly. Lustmord is one of the few who do it right. Turn… Read More »D is for Dubby
Haven’t watched this yet, but apparently this Rolling Stone video interview features Adam talking about his involvement in Guitar Hero. Thanks to Nathan for the tip! Note: The video doesn’t seem to work in Firefox. IE and Google Chrome seem to handle it fine. Could be Adblock or something interfering. Who knows….
Lined up for 20 minutes to get in via metal detector. Opening band Alchemist were ok. HQ is a pretty good venue for live bands, everytime I’ve been there the sound has been excellent and the layout of the venue makes you feel quite close to the band. I though the size of the crowd last night was a little small. Those that were there seemed pretty into the show… Read More »Meshuggah
The new unofficial? Tool DVD, Ultimate Review is available for order on Amazon, for those that are interested.
A Tool DVD of sorts looks like it will be coming out sometime soon according to dennispuleo on Toolarmy: They’ve been together almost 20 years and have survived more of American Rock’s sub-genres than any other band still relevant today [from Thrash to Grunge, Nu-Metal to AOR] but Tool have garnered a respect, from fans and critics alike, that other groups could only dream of; a respect built on raw… Read More »Tool – The Ultimate Review
