November Newsletter

Blair’s November Newsletter is now up on Toolband/Army, and talks about some of his adventures on the road with Tool.  He also talks about the soon to be release merchandise (more details in the soon to be posted December Newsletter apparently), and depending on how much you read into these things, some may be inclined to think that some kind of Salival reissue may be happening…

Another interview with Maynard has popped up, this time on the Spinner website.  Once again Maynard opens up on a range of topics, resulting in another very worthwhile interview.  Here’s a snippet: Has having done Caduceus helped you develop your business sense?

Poll Results: What genre should Tool – The Movie be?

  • Tool

It’s been speculated for many years now that one day there may be a Tool movie.  Adam‘s indicated that he’s keen, but due to band commitments, red tape and the incorrect alignment of planets this may not happen for a while.

Shinji has given me the link to a great interview with Maynard by Spin Magazine.  Maynard talks in depth about his music, in particular Puscifer, and about his life in general.  He also comments that Tool will be sticking around, while A Perfect Circle are dead. One of the best and informative interviews I’ve read with Maynard, so make sure you check it out.
