Tool are a band from Los Angeles California. This section of Fourtheye contains all the latest Tool news and rumours.
Turns out there was a Toolarmy Gingerbread House making competition, and the winner happens to be R Stump from Hollywood! Obviously no relation to Rynne! Good news for her (and us) is that part of her prize is “getting to sit in on a writing/arranging session with the band members in the new yearâ€. Happy Holidays from Fourtheye (and Tool)!
Blair has released the December 2009 Newsletter. It really just says Merry Xmas from the band. Read into that what you will! Thanks to nxrm for the tip! 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.
The November 2009 Tool Newsletter is out, though nothing is mentioned in the news about it. I’ve only vaguely read through it, but it seemed to suggest some things about the Toolarmy downtime, though in the usual Blair fashion rather than what most of you would want to read.
Christophe Muller has collected another great Tool-related interview, this time with 3D artist Meats Meier. He discusses a range of subjects, including his work with Tool, Puscifer and much more: How did it come for you to work with Tool ? I just got an email from Adam Jones one day asking if I’d be interested to work on the stereoscopic cover artwork for the 10,000 Days album art. Of… Read More »Meats Meier Intervew
According to a recent tweet by Maynard: We will soon be announcing East Coast and Mid West dates. Hope to get them on sale by mid to late Dec. Merry Holi-things. I’ve heard plenty of good reviews in regards to the Puscifer gigs, so make sure you check them out when in your area. The bad news for Tool die-hards is that it appears that not much may be happening… Read More »New Puscifer Dates Soon
Toolarmy member AChip has posted his signed copy of Lateralus on ebay, something he is sadly compelled to do due to financial considerations. Anyone interested in getting a copy of the most limited of Tool releases, should check it out… Current bidding puts it at US$127.55. Expect this to go up considerably…
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.
A small selection of tour posters from the most recent US Tool tour is now available at the Toolband shop. Check them out here! Thanks to Enok for the tip…
Toolarmy is back online. Thankfully my prediction of it being permanently down turned out to be false. You can all stop spamming my comments boards now 😉 I hope you all enjoyed your visit – come back every now and then! Update: It’s back, but seems a little borked. I couldn’t post a comment for example. Update 2: Blair has the following to say about the fiasco: Obviously the websites… Read More »Toolarmy Returns
Firstly, welcome to all of those that have recently joined due to the Toolarmy outage (no sign of it coming back up any time soon). A few of you have posted about missing comments and such. Be aware, there is no conspiracy at hand – all new members have to be moderated before they can post comments. Once this first one has been approved then you free to post as… Read More »Dear Toolarmy n00bs
