Tool are a band from Los Angeles California. This section of Fourtheye contains all the latest Tool news and rumours.
Word from a semi-official source tells me that in regards to the Tool/Toolarmy servers: The maintenance is planned, and it will be back “soon” Don’t expect any upgrades (yet) Update: The following message was seen on Toolband moments before the downtime commenced: 27 October, 2009 TOOL ARMY GOING DARK FOR A WHILE Please be advised that any time now the ToolArmy site will be shut down while we deal with… Read More »Toolarmy Update
As I’m sure many of you have noticed, Toolarmy is down (Toolband seems ok though). I’ve heard nothing about the length of the downtime, and hopefully we’ll see service back in due form. In the meantime keep checking Fourtheye, or any number of alternatives such as Toolnavy or The Tool Hotline.
Blair has released the September 2010 newsletter, and it contains a mix of Tool and non-Tool news. It largely talks about artists Richard S. Shaver and Stanislav Szukalski, and largely reads as an advertisement for an upcoming exhibition. Adam and Danny are noted to be admirers and collectors of their work. There is also a paragraph of Tool news, that appears to be obscured, perhaps by some kind of code:… Read More »September 2009 Tool Newsletter
I’ve got a few minor snippets of info collecting in my inbox, not quite worth of their own stories, but have finally reached a point where I want to clear it out! Anyway, here goes… The Puscifer blog on Myspace has revealed some information regarding the support acts for the upcoming tour: Depending on the city, Support for the upcoming Fall Run will be… SWEETHEAD, Uncle Scratches Gospel Revival, and… Read More »Stuff I Haven’t Posted Yet
A few videos have come over my desk the last few days, and I’m finally getting around to posting them. The first are a range of videos from the recent Danny Carey, Aloke Dutto, Terry Bozzio drum clinic in Kansas. There’s a stack of them out there, but here’s the best I found: There’s also a video Maynard talking about his winery and the viability of the industry in Northern… Read More »Danny Drum Clinic & Maynard Winemaking Videos
Danny Carey, along with Aloke Dutta and Terry Bozzio held a Drum Clinic in Kansas over the weekend, and Fourtheye reader Sniper36 was happy to share his review of the event: So I went to the clinic from Denver, flew in Saturday and out Sunday. All in all it was worth it, but thats just me being optimistic. I did really enjoy it, however there were a few things that… Read More »Danny Carey Drum Clinic Review
There’s an interview with Maynard up on KSIW (a Seattle Radio station I gather) that you can listen to. Â If you can get past annoying interviewers, it turns out to be a good listen. For those without patience, here’s an overview: Tom Morello wrote Cuntry Boner (was performed with Adam in Electric Sheep originally). Â He also hinted it may be played on the next Puscifer tour. Mentioned he’d love some… Read More »Maynard Interview on KSIW
I received and email from Simon this morning who runs the website toolvinyl.com. Â Though personally I’m not much of a collector, this site seems to be a great resource for those of you who are in the hunt for sought after Tool vinyl. Â Check it out!
Mattia emailed me this morning to let me know that Toolshed.it apparently have mentioned that Tool may be appearing on an upcoming Killing Joke tribute. Also, a live version of Dozo, recorded at The Pearl has been uploaded on the Puscifer site. Sounds quite good!
I dropped into Toolarmy this morning as I normally do, only to discover that the Message Board section is busted. Â Would seem as though it’s been hacked. Â No word anywhere on the site by Blair or any of the admins as to when this may be corrected, if at all. Â I’ve felt for a while now that the days of Toolarmy are limited – perhaps it will come to an… Read More »Toolarmy Hacked/Broken?
