November 12th & The San Antonio Curse

I’ve had it pointed out to me overnight, that November 12th in all likeliness won’t be any kind of announcement.  I was somewhat skeptical about the chances of anything happening that day, but Toolarmy member Corinthian pointed out to me a couple of interesting points contained in a few Tool Newsletters. It turns out that November 12th is the day of the “San Antonio Curse” .  From the March 2007… Read More »November 12th & The San Antonio Curse

Tool Newsletter August 2009

Blair has released the August 2009 Tool newsletter.  He talks about several things, including him being sick, Danny hosting a BBQ for the stage crew, Puscifer tour dates, and a list of events coming up.  He also mentions that November 12th will be here soon (whatever that means).

Tool – Reflets et métamorphoses

There is a new Tool biography out recently, “Reflets et métamorphoses” (Reflection and metamorphosis for those non-French speaking readers) released on French only and written by regular Fourtheye reader Christophe Muller.  Tool fans are generally skeptical of unauthorised Tool products (such as the Ultimate Tool DVD) so I thought I’d take the opportunity to ask Christophe a few questions, and let him explain for himself why he wrote the book.

The Elusive Tool Cover

News has come to hand in regards to the much speculated Tool cover that was supposed to be played on the recent tour.  Some readers let me know that On The Run by Pink Floyd was the cover played as a segue between songs.  Something I suspect Blair picked up on an encouraged in a recent newsletter.
