Tool are a band from Los Angeles California. This section of Fourtheye contains all the latest Tool news and rumours.
The Tool February 2006 Newsletter is now up for reading on Toolband/Army, and amazingly contains some more info about the new release. Don’t get too excited though, there’s no track names or titles…. Looks like some more Lateralus Signed Vinyl may have been released on Valentines Day. If you snapped one up, well done!
According to Toolband/Army, the Schism and Parabola DVD’s will be released in the UK on the 13th of February.
Tool have been confirmed as playing the Novarock Festival, which correct me if I’m wrong – is held in Austria. There’s actually a couple of other decent bands on this line-up, including Massive Attack, Placebo and Lagwagon. Oh and Alter Bridge, they rock don’t they…. Thanks to Timeless on Toolarmy for the tip-off.
Not a big surprise to me, but it’s been confirmed by Blair on Toolband/Army that there will be no guests on the new CD, deceased or otherwise. Tool aren’t really know for having lots of guest on their recorded work (live almost the opposite) so it doesn’t really surprise me much. Hope they had a good party with Buzz, Josh, Aaron and anyone else who dropped in.
According to Kabir from Toolshed, Maynard’s response to Elephtheria as the new album title was “Nice Try”….
Looks like Tool are playing in Italy, three shows in fact, all of which don’t seem to be festivals. Hopefully this suggests that they’ll be playing quite a few shows in Europe that aren’t festivals. The dates are: 19/06 Milano, Forum 21/06 Roma, Centrale Del Tennis Foro Italico 22/06 Bologna, Land Rover Arena. Check out this post on Toolnavy for more details. Thanks to 3poundsoflove for the tip….
Hello from Sunny Adelaide! Blair posted on Toolband/army recently that it’s most likely that the new CD will be released in May as opposed to April. That’ll be good for all the Coachella attendees then who’ll get a sneak preview of the new songs….. There also would appear to be a track list going around. Looks like bullshit to me, don’t believe the hype.
Apparently it’s been confirmed that Tool are playing at Le Zénith in Paris, France on the 28th of June. This supposedly is a suggestion that Tool may be playing shows other than festival dates. I’m sure there’s plenty of Europeans fans hoping to hear that…. Thanks to Madkilkor on Toolnavy for that one.
Pinkpop in The Netherlands *cheers* The usual offenders seem to be playing with them, and hi to all my mates in The Netherlands, wish I could go…. http://www.pinkpop.nl/page.php?pagID=203
For you lucky Germans, Tool are also playing the Rock-Am-Ring Festival from the 2nd to the 4th of June. Check out the website here: http://www.rock-am-ring.de/newsitem.html?objId=13 Thanks to the_betterfly on TA for that one. It’s also rumoured they’ll be playing the Leeds and Reading Festivals in the UK, and also Ruisrock in Finland.
