Vertebrae33 emailed me today to let me know about an interview he did with Chet Zar for his website Metal Band Art. The interview features a range of questions about his artwork, his influences and his work with bands such as Tool. A short but interesting read.

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!
A couple of small items today. Firstly Adam makes a very brief appearance in the Rammstein video Making of “Mein Land†(the new single off their best of album). Rammstein also speak very briefly about Tool. The whole video probably isn’t watching unless you’re a Rammstein fan, however the actual Mein Land video is quite interesting. Adam appears at around the 25 minute mark. Thanks for Rob for the tip… Read More »Sunday Snippets

Here’s the whole list: Hysteria – Muse (Chris Wolstenholme) YYZ – Rush (Geddy Lee) Another One Bites The Dust… Read More »Tool & Justin feature in meaningless polls
Blair’s October 2011 Tool newsletter has been released, and it’s the Samhain/Halloween edition!

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
UncleJackson emailed me today with this quite interesting interview with Maynard on Loudwire, where he mainly discuss Puscifer, but also comments on his recent work with A Perfect Circle, and the progress on the new Tool album. Here’s a bit I know interest the majority of you: Tool are reportedly working on a new album, as well. In the past, you’ve expressed frustration with sitting around in the studio with… Read More »Maynard talks about Puscifer and updates us on APC & Tool
In a Revolver double header today, we have news from both Maynard and former Tool bass player Paul D’Amour. Firstly, Maynard talks briefly about the release of the new Puscifer album Conditions of My Parole (which should be out now!). When asked about Tool he mentioned: How many times a day does someone ask you about a new Tool record? At least 20… Wait, what time is it? 22. Twenty-two… Read More »Maynard & Paul Revolver Double Tag Team
‘][‘ [[]] [[]] ][, posted in the forums this morning at the September Tool newsletter has been released, and low and behold I found it stashed away in the Newsletters section of the site (no sign of it in the News section). The newsletter itself is the usual cryptic type, hinting at a lack of progress in the new Tool album (though there may be a hint of sarcasm there)… Read More »September 2011 Tool Newsletter
