Tool are a band from Los Angeles California. This section of Fourtheye contains all the latest Tool news and rumours.
dustinspoly from Toolarmy also headed along to the recent Doctors Without Borders fundraiser, and he took the opportunity to as Adam a couple of questions we’re all dieing to know the answer to: Why don’t they do H, 3rd Eye, Prison Sex or Hooker with a Penis live anymore? AJ: Because Maynard picks the set list he feels comfortable with singing. What music video they’re working on? AJ: I am… Read More »Adam Queried at recent Fundraising Event
After much procrastination, I’ve finally decided to open the Fourtheye Store on Cafepress (for Australian buyers use this link). On the site you’ll find a range of designs, including the Fuck Blair joke I came up with a while back, as well as some artwork created by Fourtheye Readers Rohan Dawes and Michael Thurman. Profits from shirt sales go directly back in to server costs, which just happen to be… Read More »Support Fourtheye – Buy Stuff!
There seems to be plenty of dubious vinyl going around at the moment, including the recently posted 10,000 Days vinyl. In the post I made it clear I felt it was a bootleg at the time, and really only mentioned it out of curiousity as I’d never seen a 10,000 Days vinyl before. Following that post I was told by a somewhat reliable source that Tool were planning to do… Read More »A General Warning
ebackwardse from Toolarmy emailed me today (he also posted it on the Toolarmy boards) to tell me about his meetup with Adam at the recent Doctors Without Borders fundraiser. Sounds like it was a good event for a worthwhile cause: Location could not of been better!!! The restaurant was very small, but not at all crowded. As we walked in we were standing right next to the brother from Everybody… Read More »Meeting Adam in Malibu
Blair posted a Toolarmy Exclusive today where he talks about visiting Tool while they rehearse in LA this week. A short but interesting article, where Blair mentions he didn’t hear the new cover he expects to be played (he didn’t mention what it might be). He also mentions that there was a bit of new material played, however he doesn’t expect any of this will be played at the shows.… Read More »Tour Preview for Toolarmy Members
According to a recent post by Blair, Adam will be a greeter at an upcoming Docters Without Borders function in Malibu: Next week “Malibu Global Awareness” will be holding a series of fundraising events in support of “DOCTOR’S WITHOUT BORDERS.” ADAM will be a ‘greeter” at one of these “MID SUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM” events – helping with what is certainly a worthy cause on TUESDAY, JULY 14 at TAVERNA TONY… Read More »Meet Adam Jones at Docters Without Borders Fundraiser
I read an interesting article on Blabbermouth today, in which Mikael Åkerfeldt from Opeth revealed that they almost became the support act for the summer Tool tour: Other news, we’d been offered a support tour in the U.S. by TOOL but we didn’t get it this time, Hopefully in the future it might work out. Given there have been a few complaints about Tweak Bird (not from me!), and I… Read More »Opeth almost supported Tool, may do so in the future

gnjasmkr send me a link today for an interesting item on Ebay. It is a copy of 10,000 Days on red vinyl. I’ve never seen one of these personally, and will presume it’s some kind of bootleg for now, but it begs the question – is the “big thing” a release of 10,000 Days on vinyl? Edit: Link fixed!
