Blair‘s Tool Newsletter for November 2018 is out now. It highlights a recent visit to LA following the Malibu fires, where Blair catches up with Danny Carey and a few other regulars from the Tool family. The good news is that Blair managed to hear at least part of the new album, though keeps it spoiler free: While walking to his car (parked on yet another deficient alley), Danny emerged… Read More »Tool November 2018 Newsletter
The Welcome to Rockville festival social media team today posted a video on Facebook, promising to reveal the lineup for the 2019 event in 13 days. The video very strongly hints that Tool will be the headline act, featuring some of their artwork as well as a snippet from Mantra. The festival is usually held in late April, which somewhat coincides with Coachella which I’d also expect to be announced… Read More »Tool at Rockville in May 2019
I haven’t done a happy birthday post in a while, mostly because I’m lazy. Well, this time around I’m not, and I’m also keen to post something on the site, since actual news is hard to come by! November 19 is Justin Chancellor‘s birthday! Not sure how he’s celebrating the day, but I’m sure many of us would be happy for he to have a day off from making the… Read More »Happy Birthday Justin!
The latest Tool Newsletter – the October 2018 edition is now online. It’s a reasonably brief update from Blair, mostly highlighting the new tour dates but also has a positive snippet: On Monday, October 8th at 1:35 AM I received an enthusiastic text message from Danny. Without going into specifics, he REALLY liked what he heard in the studio that night. Therefore, I assume that the recording progress is going… Read More »Tool October 2018 Newsletter
Twitterer (if that is the right term) Ivonna Cadavar posted a pic with Adam Jones from Tool not long ago, with an update of sorts on the new album. Have a read and I’ll give you my thoughts below: So while “any day now” sounds pretty promising, I find it hard to get too excited, as it would seem unlikely that Tool have been long out of the studio, and… Read More »Update: Ivonna Cadavar says Tool album DONE “any day now”

Blair’s Tool newsletter for September 2018 is out now, and is a pretty short one, that really just highlights Maynard’s recent tweet. As many of you may know, Blair lives in Las Vegas now which makes getting regular updates from a band not always know for being communicative tough. The good news is that Blair is heading to LA soon, and plans to take up Adam’s invitation to join them in… Read More »Tool September 2018 Newsletter

Well today Maynard has offered an update… Read More »Maynard offers update on new Tool album

Thanks to ZigmaIwu on the Toolband Subreddit for… Read More »New Tool animation by Opiate director Dominic Hailstone
