Tool are a band from Los Angeles California. This section of Fourtheye contains all the latest Tool news and rumours.
I received exactly 616 emails last night from various members of the Fourtheye community telling me that Ticketmaster have confirmed a couple of Tool concerts in Canada going on sale later this month. These dates also appear on Live Nation as well as a short article in the Edmonton Journal. Dates I am aware of so far: July 7 Rexall Place, Edmonton, Canada July 9 General Motors Place, Vancouver, Canada… Read More »Tool Tour dates trickle in
Stick this one in the rumour bin for now, but I received an email from a seemingly reliable (they claim to be involved in the management of a West Coast venue) today claiming that Tool’s management have started approaching venues for a Summer Tour this year. I’m a little sceptical personally, given that it’s probably in their recording schedule, but then again, I was equally sceptical about last years tour.… Read More »Tool Tour Rumour
Prepare your banishing irons – the March newsletter is now out. Here’s the bit you need to know, the rest can be found at the usual locations: Members of the band are still in the process of writing new material (three days a week), and with the latest leg of the “Puscifer†tour nearing completion, it shouldn’t be long before the dry-erase board is filled with a bewildering array of… Read More »Tool March Newsletter
I received an email from Alan Jones last night (Adam’s brother and Tool’s attorney) who confirmed that yesterdays request for Tool advertising material is 100% legitimate. He mentioned that it is for a legal problem regarding litigation with the insurance industry as a fallout of the case against Cam De Leon. Edit: Alan wanted to let you all know that this is definitely no reflection on Cam.  Tool have buried… Read More »“Toolarmy need your help” Clarification

I’ve been quite busy the last few days, so have a few bits and pieces to post, none of which are amazingly exciting though. At least it will clear my Inbox! I may also get around to posting my Soundwave review which is sitting in my Drafts folder! The most important one is that Alex Grey and his wife were involved in a serious car accident last week. They both… Read More »Playing Catchup!
In a short interview with Rock Radio Maynard commented that he likes to take time between Tool albums: "Some new band, their first two records are the ones that are the freshest, ’cause they’ve had all their lives to write them. And then that third record ends up being all about the inside of a bus and something that happened backstage ’cause what else have they seen? And I’ve pretty… Read More »Maynard likes to “absorb life” between albums
Christophe from Salival.fr conducted an interview with Tool associated artist Cam De Leon recently, and is now available on his website. Here’s the question I know you’re all dying to ask him: If you don’t mind, can you tell us more about what happened for this great combination to cease ? Well, I appreciate your interest and concern about that, and I’m sure it’s coming from a good place, but… Read More »Salival.fr interviews Cam De Leon
The February newsletter is now up on Toolband/Toolarmy and it’s a somewhat revealing one: Tool are in the process or writing new material., though Blair personally hasn’t heard any. Joe Baressi has, which suggests to me he’s probably going to engineer the album again. Adam has a new pedal he’s been playing around with, and this may or may not feature. Danny has some new percussion instruments, and they definitely… Read More »Tool February Newsletter
In a recent interview on Metromix.com, Maynard makes a brief mention of the Live DVD. I have to ask: What’s up with A Perfect Circle and Tool? Nothing I know of at the moment. There’s always writing, we’re always doing that. But as soon as I say anything…like, I mentioned 15 years ago a possibility of filming a live Tool show, and I still get asked about that! I made… Read More »Maynard discusses Live DVD (and other stuff!)
