July 2014 Tool Snoozeletter released

Blair has posted the July Tool Newsletter on Toolband, and it’s one of those “snoozeletters” that many of you like to complain about! It seems to allude to Tool moving a bunch of material (including recordings and demo’s) from one location to another. Interestingly Blair specifically calls out some of the newsletter “haters”: Okay, that should be enough – forget about fusion jazz and fancy spuds for a moment. There… Read More »July 2014 Tool Snoozeletter released

Tool May 2014 Newsletter out

Nothing to see here – Blair tells us about Danny buying a rare book. Let’s cross our fingers and hope that now all four Tool members seem to have a clear calendar we’ll see some real progress towards hitting the studio before the end of 2014.

October “Tool” Newsletter released

Blair has released his latest newsletter, which seems to have an Australian theme to it. Other than that it doesn’t really any Tool news that I can see. Perhaps the theme is a sign that us Aussies will get a fourth 10k Days tour to keep those creative juices flowing!

Tool December 2012 Newsletter released, Intronaut support

Blair released the Tool 2012 Newsletter for December today, and it talks about Tool amongst other things.  Word is that 2012 should be a good year for Tool fans as “projects that have admittedly taken quite a while are now getting finished, and should soon be ready for you to scrutinize.”  One rumour floating around is that the video for The Pot may be shown at the coming Tool gigs. … Read More »Tool December 2012 Newsletter released, Intronaut support

November 2011 Tool Newsletter released

Just a quick message (I’m a little pressed for time right now) to let you guys know that the November 2011 Tool Newsletter is now up on Toolband, and it seems to talk about some form of recording with Joe Barresi and speculates a little on a winter tour. Take a read and let us know what you think!

October 2011 Tool Newsletter

Blair’s October 2011 Tool newsletter has been released, and it’s the Samhain/Halloween edition!  A relatively short one, but touches on the bands apparently commitment to getting the next album done, as well as a range of other interesting (or irrelevant depending on your point of view) topics. Apparently in the next newsletter there might be some news on the new Tool website. Don’t forget that tonight Blair will be playing… Read More »October 2011 Tool Newsletter

Tool August 2011 Newsletter

Ok _________’s, Blair recently put out the August Tool Newsletter.  It’s reasonably short, and only really contains a couple of Tool snippets, the most important probably being: (in regards to the new Tool album) Just when things were rolling along at the loft with the writing and arranging sessions (and what I’ve heard so far sounds truly great!) And: Also, things are looking good for the new Tool website… as… Read More »Tool August 2011 Newsletter

Tool progress is progressing, Sasquatch spotted!

A couple of marginally interesting Tool items appeared in the last day, the first being a snippet from a recent Maynard interview reported on Blabbermouth: As for the status of the next TOOL album — which Keenan gets asked about in every interview — the singer gave The Pulse Of Radio an update and warned fans not to believe everything they read. "We’re just always writing and it’s just progressing… Read More »Tool progress is progressing, Sasquatch spotted!

Captain Tool

According to a recent post by Blair on Toolband: Fans of the band will notice some TOOL music in the soon to be released trailer for "Captain America." Further research by Moose revealed that the track will be 46 & 2, though as far as I can see the trailer hasn’t been released yet.  Does this mean the song will appear on the official soundtrack?  Have Tool sold out?  Movie… Read More »Captain Tool

June Tool Newsletter

June has come quickly this year, and with it comes the next Tool newsletter. Get your decoder rings and/or Taco Bell discount vouchers out! Blair fields a few questions I’m sure some of you will find interesting, including an update of sorts on the status of the Tool website: Q: “Hey Blair, how are you? As you mentioned you keep getting mostly ‘when the f**k is the new album going… Read More »June Tool Newsletter
