Tool are a band from Los Angeles California. This section of Fourtheye contains all the latest Tool news and rumours.
The August 2018 Tool Newsletter is now out, and while it doesn’t contain any Tool news, it does give us something to be happy with: John Z‘s return to the stage:  I hope you will agree that this message from John Ziegler makes for one helluva newsletter”  “So just last night after watching the bros throw down for the Doug Webb gig, I got on stage and brother Jamie actually let me play some guitar!… Read More »Tool August 2018 Newsletter
Some of you would have enjoyed Rick Beato‘s breakdown of Tool‘s Schism some time ago. This week he’s revisited Tool, and this time taken a close look at Parabola.  While it’s not quite as compelling a video as the Schism one, it’s still a cool watch. Enjoy!
Another month goes by, and we have another newsletter with even Blair admitting there’s not much to share at the moment: Well… I haven’t heard a peep pertaining to studio updates so make of that what you want. Â I know that it’s pretty typical in the ‘Tool world’ to be kept in the dark when projects such as recording sessions are ongoing, so what can I say? Â I’ve tried to… Read More »Tool July 2018 Newsletter
It’s been a pretty busy week, partially for reasons I’m sure you’re all aware of, so the latest Tool Newsletter has slipped my mind. The good news is that we’re getting them again, the not so good news is that it’s likely the kind of newsletter that some of you here will dislike and lament the return of Blair. It has a short Tool update, and then focuses on a… Read More »Tool June 2018 Newsletter
Tool seem to be back working hard in the studio, with an update from Justin showing up his rig in the studio, as well as a quick Instagram post from Adam: Justin sent me this photo with a caption: “Bass… How low can you go?”  In speaking with him, he told me that he was making great progress in “a great studio.”  He also told me how much fun he had… Read More »Studio updates and Maynard’s Metal Icon Award
Tool newsletters are finally back, and in this May 2018 edition Blair tells us in his usual roundabout way about his thoughts on the recent Music Clinic Tour. He even laments a few unasked questions: What I wanted to hear was how the guys answered certain questions – such as: How hard is it to tune a nano Silverburst guitar? How many salmon on average does Justin catch while fishing… Read More »Tool Newsletter May 2018
Tool have completed their short run of shows (two festivals in fact) as well as a run of Music Clinics. Many of you would have seen posts about these here in the forum, as well as places like Reddit. For those that haven’t, or just want a handy summary, here are some of the key points I’ve gathered from the internet. The two live shows had the same setlist. The… Read More »Tool 2018 Festival and Music Clinic Wrap-up
A couple of good news items from the Tool camp today. Firstly news that drum tracking is complete on the new album, with a celebratory photo from Kevin Mills: Here’s a photo taken by KEVIN MILLS (Evil Joe’s assistant) to celebrate the drum tracking being completed (other than a segue, I believe).  Thanks to Justin for sending! Other news in the last week is that the Newsletter Archive is back… Read More »Tool Drum Tracking and Newsletters
Tool have released a video promo for their upcoming Music Clinic tour, and in a pleasant surprise it features a recording (presumably some form of demo) of the track Descending frequently played live over the last half a dozen years. Adam also offered a few thoughts on the clinics via Instagram: Very excited about the upcoming #ToolMisicClinic ‘s. The concept originated from fans wanting to connect & interact with us personally. An… Read More »Tool tease demo version of Descending in Music Clinic promo
Tool have snuck in a couple of extra Music Clinics while I wasn’t paying attention – one in Pittsburgh and the other Philadelphia. Blair also added a few thoughts on Toolband as to what these clinics could contain. It sounds like a little more that just the Adam Jones VIP thing seen on previous tours: First of all, KUDOS to those Tool enthusiasts who realize the unique opportunity of the… Read More »Tool add two more Music Clinics
