Blair

Blair. (bl-air) v. : 1. To say and do things that appear mysterious, but are of little consequence. ie. “Little Susan was so excited about her pet rock that she blaired all evening.” 2. To be tricked or fooled by Blair. ie. “You just got Blair’d!” Thanks to Karf on Toolnavy for that one, and apologies to Blair, we really do love you!

From the mouth of Blair?

everlastingpmpkn sent me an email today, saying that he had a chance to catch up with Blair at the recent Volto gig.  Here’s what he had to say: Spoke to Blair, and he said that the whole secret listening session in 4 different locations across the globe was “complete bullshit” and that he doesn’t know where that rumor came from. If Blair’s own words aren’t enough…well here’s some more info:… Read More »From the mouth of Blair?

Tool at Coachella

Just a quickie…. Blair also writes that he spoke to Danny regarding the Coachella gig, and the Tool will be play at least some of the new CD there. Kinda gives me the impression that it’ll be more of the old show + a couple of new songs, rather than the “new” Tool experience, if indeed there is such a thing. Oh and there was some crap about the Schism… Read More »Tool at Coachella

Alex Grey Comments, Butcher/Volto/Tool Live

In the recent CoSM Newsletter, it briefly talks about the 10,000 Days artwork. Nothing particularly new though: Many fans have inquired regarding the album art TOOL has released on Amazon for pre-sale of the album. The cover is an adaptation of Alex Grey’s painting, Net of Being. Blair on Toolband/Army posts today that Butcher played recently with some disturbing new artwork. He also mentions that Volto are playing in the… Read More »Alex Grey Comments, Butcher/Volto/Tool Live

Singles, Butcher, Artwork, Tours

A couple of quick snippets from around the web: It’s been mentioned in several places, in particular on Toolnavy that US radio will be playing the new single sometime between the 12th and the 17th of April.  Not long to go now.  Of course if memory serves me correctly, Schism was available from the Tool website a good week or so before Triple J played it for the first time… Read More »Singles, Butcher, Artwork, Tours

10,000 Days Artwork

Blair on Toolband/Army has posted some artwork from 10,000 Days. This one looks like a new logo: Anyone else think it looks like it says Fool rather than Tool? This one may or may not be the cover: Looks ok to me, though I was expecting something a little different. I’m sure though, as usual there will be much more to the artwork than just this image, and I’d very… Read More »10,000 Days Artwork

2nd May, Lateralus Gallery Update

I meant to mention before, that Blair also confirmed that the 2nd of May is the official release date.   50 Days to go. I’ve also updated the Signed Lateralus Vinyl Gallery.    Thanks to Ryan, The Betterfly and Stalkingbutler for their contributions. I’m still looking for more, and I know that another batch has been sent out recently, so if you’ve got one, make sure you get me the pics.

According to Blair on Toolband/Army, here’s the 10,000 Days tracklist.  And no, he says it’s not a joke….. Vicarious Jambi Wings For Marie (Pt 1) 10,000 Days (Wings Pt 2) The Pot Lipan Conjuring Lost Keys (Blame Hofmann) Rosetta Stoned Intension Right In Two Viginti Tres

Tool Interviews coming soon….

Blair posted on Toolband/Army that he spoke to Danny from Australia last night.  The promo tour seems to be going well, and Danny is expected back in LA tomorrow.  There were many interviews given, and Blair warned us that we should expect articles in Guitar World, Revolver and Modern Drummer, and no doubt there will be others.
