According to a recent post on Toolband/Army Volto! will be hosting a NAMM party at the Knitting Factory on Thursday the 17th of January. Buy you’re tickets in advance since Volto! usually sells out. For those that don’t know, NAMM is the National Association of Music Merchants conference, and usually frequented by most major musical instrument companies and their endorsees. Expect to see a whole range of new instruments displayed,… Read More »Volto!

According to a recent post on Maynard‘s Myspace site, the Queen B DVD will be available on Tuesday, and is a limited edition so don’t delay in ordering it (presumably from the Puscifer website?). No word as to what’s on the DVD apart from the Queen B video, but it’s safe to say there’s probably no live Tool tracks. Meats Meier is continuing work on the Dozo video, and according… Read More »Puscifer Update
Henry emailed me today with a quote from a recent issue of Revolver, where Maynard gives his thoughts on working with Billy Howerdel, as well as some kind of idea when a reunion may be possible: The real problem with running Tool and A Perfect Circle at the same time was they both operate the same way. They’re both live touring bands with a label, still working under the old… Read More »A Perfect Circle not over?
Happy New Year everyone! The 2007 Fourtheye Survey I promised is now up. It should take you around 5 minutes and asks a range of questions. The survey covers a range of areas, from Tool, Fourtheye, as well as some of you own tastes and habits. No information that can be used to identify you is kept, nor will the results be shared with any kind of corporate scumbags unless… Read More »Fourtheye Survey
The video for Tool’s Vicarious has appeared in the Rolling Stone Top 25 videos for 2007. Other videos that I like that made the list include Bjork, Battles, Kanye West, Nine Inch Nails and The White Stripes.
Blair‘s December newsletter is up, and it’s quite possibly the most cryptic one yet. I can’t really make much sense of it, though it does suggest that something may be going on sale on the 17th of January, possibly a live DVD, though I’d say that’s somewhat unlikely. Could also be that there’s another tour happening, going on sale on that date, but I’ve heard no substantial rumours to confirm… Read More »December Newsletter
I’ve been working on a Fourtheye survey recently, one that will ask many questions regarding Tool, Tool-related acts, Fourtheye as well as readers tastes and habits. I plan on this being a yearly survey, but as I work on the first one I wonder if any of you have any particular questions you’d like to see asked in it?
This weeks poll asks you what you think of the Vicarious video. Is it better than Tool’s previous efforts? Has it become your favorite video or is it no better then their old ones? Do you like the CGI, or would you rather animation? Vote and comment now!
Game of the Year was the subject of the last poll, and by the looks of things I didn’t really leave anything significant off the list. The results show that it was a pretty good year for games, since the top results are all within a few votes of each other, suggesting finding a favorite was pretty hard. It was for me. In fact, 2007 was probably the best year… Read More »Poll Results: Game of the Year
Scarlettletterman from Toolarmy posted a Xmas present this morning – a bootleg of Jello Biafra and Tool performing Holiday in Cambodia. Enjoy!
