According to a recent article on Side-Line, Danny has recorded several tracks for Collide‘s new album Two Headed Monster: Tool drummer Danny Carey has lent his drumming skills to several of the new Collide tracks which will end up on the band’s newest album “Two Headed Monster”. It’s not the first time the band has worked with Carey as he also played on one of the songs on the “Some… Read More »Danny records for Collide
Not the prominent Aussie asshole Alan Jones, but the brother of Adam; Alan Jones happens to be Tool‘s attorney. You can read about his work and how he is related to Tool on his website, but recently Redzorg of Toolarmy posted this snippet on one of the boards there: Tools’ attorney is adams brother alan. and he is the one fighting to get the dvd released in the way in… Read More »Tool Attorney Alan Jones
There seems to be a bit of a divide amongst readers, some of whom think including Tool tracks in video games such as Guitar Hero and Rock Band is selling out, while others (like me) think it’s a great idea. New poll has been made to determine this once and for all!
Mike D pointed out an article on Gamernode.com which talks about Guitar Hero 4, and has what appears to be an official blurb for the game taken from an online survey site: Guitar Hero In this new Guitar Hero game, join up with your bandmates to form the ultimate super group and rock your way to the top. Shred on lead, rhythm, or bass guitar (three options on one guitar… Read More »Leak Tool Guitar Hero news?
As promised, Blair released the June 2008 newsletter, and this time it contains some “details” of what’s up in the Tool world. Head over to Toolband/Army to read it, but here’s my summary.

Building a recording studio perhaps? Spending time playing Halo 3 and watching Baseball games… Read More »June 2008 Newsletter

The accompanying picture which I’ve included below shows Charlie, and possibly Justin, though without the beard I can’t tell!Also noted in the post is that Justin’s store Lobal Orning has shut down, though the do plan on revamping the website with lots of “cool stuff” in August.
Blair has posted the May 2008 Newsletter on Toolband/Army. It continues the May 2007 Newsletter regarding a trip to Mexico with Blair, Danny, Adam and a whole menagarie of the usual culprits. An interesting read, but don’t expect any Tool news or insight.
According to a recent post by Blair on Toolband/Army, Danny‘s hand is more or less healed and he will be playing with Volto! in July. Even better news is that “he’s that much closer to getting back to jamming with his day-job band”.
Blair made a post on Toolarmy over the weekend that I missed, where he briefly mentions a bit of an update on where Tool are at right now: (in regards to Tool) I still haven’t heard of any new developments with regards to last month’s meeting with the band members, their lawyers, and management. I believe this to be good news. Ditto with regards to the other band project in… Read More »Tool Update
Posted recently on Toolband/Army and Maynard’s Myspace site: “Today Marks the 5 year anniversary of Judith Marie’s surrender to a 29 year struggle against time and gravity. Take a moment to count your blessings. Remind yourself that life is short. (In Judith’s case, long and painful.) Take a deep breath and allow the petty stuff to disintegrate into dust and blow away. It’s all gonna work out. Judith’s last wishes… Read More »Wings Anniversary & and message from Maynard
