Tool are a band from Los Angeles California. This section of Fourtheye contains all the latest Tool news and rumours.
Starting today, Toolshed are running a bracket style vote on their site asking Tool fans which song is their favourite. Seems like good clean fun, so join the madness here! First two polls are Sober vs Disgustipated and Hush vs Flood – get voting!
A recent post on Toolband this morning highlights the new release from Lustmord Songs of Gods and Demons that is now available from his website. While Lustmord’s work is quite interesting, what’s even more interesting to Tool fans is this snippet: The CD includes "The Blasted Plain", the companion piece to the music Lustmord did for the VICARIOUS DVD menu. I don’t even remember the music/noise from the Vicarious DVD… Read More »Lustmord Songs of Gods and Demons

There’s some great footage on http://dannycarey.org of the Tool/Rammstein incident at the Adelaide Big Day Out in February. It’s been recorded be Breck who’s the projection director. Excellent audio and visual quality!
Update: It’s come to my attention that I’ve posted this already. It’s worth watching again anyway for good measure… Aaron Harris tweeted today that he found a series of videos about Danny, recorded sometime around 1996/97. I haven’t had a chance to watch it yet (work has banned Youtube!) but I hear it’s worth watching! Here’s part 1: And Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4… Speaking of Twitter, Maynard… Read More »Another Danny Carey “Documentary”, APC dates coming soon!
Blair posted a relatively short, but somewhat exciting newsletter today. It basically talks about how Tool are quite focused on writing the new album at the moment. Here’s an abbreviated version of an already short newsletter: Having returned from their recent tour Down Under, after taking a few days to recover from any jet-lag, and to take care of personal affairs, starting last Monday, members of the band returned to… Read More »February 2011 Tool Newsletter posted
In a post today Blair tells us that Danny is tonight’s guest at the Monday Night Jammmz at the Baked Potato. Sound cool for those of us in LA, but the highlighted bit below may be of more interest to most: DANNY will be performing double duty on this last day in February, first working on new musical arrangements with TOOL and then being the guest drummer at tonight’s MONDAY… Read More »Danny baking potatoes
A recent post by Blair on Toolband refers to an event called April Tool’s Day to be held at the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors. This even hosted by Alex Grey will feature a talk about Tool, as well as screenings of Vicarious and Parabola. It’ll also feature a set from a local Tool cover band Schism. Sounds like an interesting evening!

I’ve dropped a few hints in the forums in regards to Tool Big Day Out Posters possibly being available online following the tour, and tonight I received the news that this is indeed the case. Melbourne printers Beyond The Pale printed all of the posters for the 2011 tour (excluding Hawaii I think) and the leftovers, all unsigned are available from their website. Limited quantities from the Melbourne side show,… Read More »Tool Big Day Out Posters
