Blair just published the June 2010 Newsletter on Toolband. It’s a pretty short and straight forward one talking mainly about the tour. Interesting thing to note is that: Apparently the band listed on various Tool fansites as the support isn’t correct. We’ll see in under 24 hours if Wovenhand are really playing I guess.

Not sure how long it’s been on the site, but the January Tool Newsletter is now available on Toolband and Toolarmy. It’s really just a bit of a recap of Tool-related news over the last couple of months, confirming that Tool aren’t doing much at the moment, and that Danny, Adam and Justin are all abroad (or have been) and that Maynard is busy with Puscifer and Caduceus stuff.

Also, Meshuggah have released an official trailer to the coming Live DVD Alive: The DVD can be ordered from a range of places, but packages from Nuclear Blast USA can be had with a poster, and either shirt or hoodie.
Blair has released the October newsletter (written before the site maintenance so it says) and it contains ten frightening moments encountered while on tour with the band. It’s actually an interesting read, so check it out on Toolband.
