According to Blair on Toolband/Army, there are some new posters available at the upcoming US Tool shows, some of which are signed by band members. These are sure to sell out quickly, so make sure you buy them before the show starts. Anyone who managed to get one, feel free to send me a pic to post on Fourtheye.
Maynard speaks with Beat.com.au about Puscifer. Pretty standard interview really, with nothing particularly new revealed. Here’s a snippet: Speaking of lowest common denominators, was the singer gutted over the farcical decision to award the Grammy to Wolfmother (and their derivative single Woman) over Tool for ‘Best Hard Rock Performance? “Well, you and I both know exactly where that song came from,†he laughs. “But never mind all that, because it… Read More »Maynard on Beat.com.au
This week I’ve run out of ideas I thought it might be fun to see what you guys think of the much talked about Tool Movie. What kind of movie do you think it should be?
Last weeks poll asked what was your rating for V is for Vagina. Generally the response to it seemed to be good, with far more positive votes than negative. Personally, I rated it as average. While I enjoyed some of the tracks like Queen B and Trekka, most of them I felt were pretty forgettable. I’m not sure that it’s an album I’ll be getting out to listen to time… Read More »Poll Results: How do you rate V is for Vagina?
Badkittygothgirl from Toolarmy posted a like to a video interview done by Erin from the Suicide Girls where Maynard talks about the creative process behind Puscifer. Here’s the article: “Enigmatic is a misnomer. Most likely a byproduct of my absence in the press. An assumption arrived at due to the lack of available information, accurate or otherwise. I don’t do that many interviews. General because of my private life and… Read More »Maynard on Suicide Girls

According to Blabbermouth, Meshuggah have finished recording their new CD, and it will be called obZen. According to drummer Tomas Haake: “We’ve finished the recording a couple weeks back! It sounds really good and we’re super-excited about the new stuff!” I guess it would be a bit strange if he wasn’t super excited. Hopefully Meshuggah will join Tool on the road again one day, preferably Down Under.
For those with some time to waste, here’s a video of an attractive young woman getting a V is for Vagina tattoo. Enjoy!

I’ve been back up in Queensland this week, so things have been a little slow on updates for Fourtheye. Things should return to normal next week. Here’s a couple of items that have come across my desk: For those that have missed the various comments, there is an interview of Maynard done by Patton Oswalt. Check it out here.
