Stuff posted by Blair on Toolband/Army
A couple of things have passed my desk today. Firstly there are a couple of new articles up on Toolband, on talking about Blair and Danny‘s trip to Maynard‘s vineyard. Apparently this will be the covered in more detail in the next newsletter. Blair also tells the tale of Danny losing $400 in a ATM recently after being asked for an autograph. Oh the stories we hear when there is… Read More »Snippets
A couple of Toolband updates came out this morning…. Firstly Volto! (featuring Danny) are playing on the 21st of August at the Baked Potato. Check them out if you’re in LA. Secondly Blair posted a somewhat cryptic message accompanied by a picture of a smashed laptop courtesy of Maynard. Despite the message to not speculate, I’ve been wondering for some time if the Tool website, and or Toolarmy are due… Read More »Toolband Updates
According to a recent post on Toolband/Army, Danny and Blair will be serving drinks in LA’s Silverlake Cha Cha Lounge this Monday the 28th of July. If you feel like a Crisis Cocktail, Crowley Cup or Brain Hemorrhage the drop in. There will also be silk screening available, so bring along a shirt!
The July Tool Newsletter is out on Toolband and Toolarmy (though wasn’t posted in the news). For those of you who dislike Blair‘s esoteric ramblings, don’t bother reading it. Anyone who’s able to make any sense out of it, let me know.
Ronnie sent me an email today pointing me to Alan Jones‘ website (Adam‘s brother). On the Bits page it mentions: Doesn’t all good summer fun begin with some yard work? Doing some of that… but I did have some real fun in LA on my last trip. After getting all of my work done and closing a deal for Tool (GH4) I spent the last day of my trip in… Read More »Guitar Hero 4 Confirmed
As promised, Blair released the June 2008 newsletter, and this time it contains some “details” of what’s up in the Tool world. Head over to Toolband/Army to read it, but here’s my summary. Adam is: working on some undisclosed entertainment industry related project? Guitar Hero perhaps? also involved in the construction of some future band-related endeavor. Building a recording studio perhaps? Spending time playing Halo 3 and watching Baseball games… Read More »June 2008 Newsletter
Blair has posted the May 2008 Newsletter on Toolband/Army. It continues the May 2007 Newsletter regarding a trip to Mexico with Blair, Danny, Adam and a whole menagarie of the usual culprits. An interesting read, but don’t expect any Tool news or insight.
According to a recent post by Blair on Toolband/Army, Danny‘s hand is more or less healed and he will be playing with Volto! in July. Even better news is that “he’s that much closer to getting back to jamming with his day-job band”.
Blair made a post on Toolarmy over the weekend that I missed, where he briefly mentions a bit of an update on where Tool are at right now: (in regards to Tool) I still haven’t heard of any new developments with regards to last month’s meeting with the band members, their lawyers, and management. I believe this to be good news. Ditto with regards to the other band project in… Read More »Tool Update
A couple of quick ones today. Blair has advised us via Toolband/Army that Vicarious took the 100th spot in Rolling Stones recent Top 100 Guitar Songs list. Why Vicarious beat a whole shitload of other Tool songs is bound to be a source of debate. Also, Blabbermouth are reporting that Fuse will be broadcasting Mastodon‘s set from Bonnaroo live on the web on Sunday evening US time (Monday morning for… Read More »Rolling Stone Top 100, Mastodon Live
