Grammy’s Tonight (if anyone cares….)
Tool are up for an award at tonights Grammy Awards, with The Pot being nominated for Best Hard Rock Performance. Tool are up against Evanesance, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age and Ozzy Obourne. Though I’m sure we all think Tool should win, I imagine they might have a hard time against some of those acts, not to mention that many people would argue that The Pot is far… Read More »Grammy’s Tonight (if anyone cares….)

Autographed Video Sculpture
A loyal Fourtheye reader who would prefer to stay anonymous, today sent me a picture of his prized Adam Jones sculpture. Looks like it was one of the props used in the Prison Sex video. Enjoy it’s high resolution goodness by clicking on it!!
The Undertaker – Spanish Fly Remix
fortysixand2 posted on Toolarmy the other advising that there is a Spanish Fly remix of Puscifer‘s The Undertaker now available on Maynard‘s Myspace site. It features a female sing Spanish vocals rather than Maynard, but sound cool regardless.

In the last few days we’ve had some news on Toolband/Army showing us what Justin and Danny have been doing on their time off. Justin and Shelee have been visiting famous gravestones in Seattle, while Danny and Rynne have been whale watching in Hawaii. More photos can be found on Toolarmy. No word on what Adam and Maynard are up to though. Presumably Maynard is busying himself at his winery,… Read More »Tool on Holidays

Isis Gear Tour
MetalKult have a video gear tour with Aaron and Mike from Isis. The tour covers the guitars, effects pedals and amps used by the band members. Probably only worthwhile for gear geeks only.
Aloke Dutta in Hospital
According to a new post on Toolband/Army, Blair reports that Aloka Dutta has suffered a heart attack while in India and is now recovering from a grafting bypass procedure. Here’s hoping that one of Tool‘s and Danny‘s biggest influences has a speedy recovery.
