Tool are a band from Los Angeles California. This section of Fourtheye contains all the latest Tool news and rumours.
Things are moving so slowly in Tool land at the moment, I’ve run out of material (and motivation) for regular posts. So while Tool are in stealth mode (likely for the rest of the year I expect) rather than bombarding you with with stuff that is only somewhat interesting, I’ll do a weekly update. This update will include Tool related stuff, relevant side projects, and even a few updates from… Read More »Weekly Update 11-Sept-2017
On Reddit the other day some chap called cptsweatpantz decided to start an online petition to get Tool to re-release their albums on vinyl. Â A noble suggestion, however was met with the usual cries of “online polls don’t do shit!” – something I agree with despite signing anyway. Lo and behold the creator of the petition receives an email from Danny Carey (screenshot of which is below) in which he… Read More »Danny confirms that Tool remasters are in the works?
Maynard James Keenan spoke with Joe Rogan on his podcast this week, and covers a range of the usual topics you’d expect – wine making, fighting, discipline, the music industry, his love for cross-stitching and of course, Tool. Â As with Maynard’s other chats with Rogan, it’s an interesting listen, and great to hear him speak in a more relaxed, between friends manner than the usual defensive style taken with clickbait… Read More »Maynard talks Tool and other things with Joe Rogan
Metal Sucks have today published a Podcast which contains a 10 minute interview with Justin Chancellor, where he talks about progress on the new Tool album, and their love of playing live. Â While the interview is short on much concrete information, Justin does mention that he believes the new album is about 90% done. Â He declined to give any indication of when it would be released though. It’s an insightful… Read More »Justin discusses the new album with Metal Sucks
The Tool Summer 2017 tour is done; capped off with a huge show at San Bernadino this evening. I’ve been holding back posting much about the tour, as I don’t really want to spoil it for those who are attending shows, but now that were all done, here’s a re-cap of what went down: Tool played much the same setlist each night. Â It was a pretty good one, though some… Read More »Tool Summer 2017 tour wrapup
Adam had his chance, now Justin Chancellor speaks OC Weekly about the San Bernadino Tool show coming up this weekend.  He opens up a bit about some of the other acts playing on the weekend including Primus: “My fourth gig I ever did with Tool was at the Oakland Coliseum. We supported Primus,†Chancellor said. “I was like 25 and it was all very overwhelming. To come full circle and… Read More »Justin talks about San Bernadino show
Reports from the Tool Army Members Facebook page suggest that Tool will be the focus of the next issue of Kerrang Magazine, and will feature Adam Jones on “that new album”. Â Exactly what we’ll get remains to be seen (the title seems a bit click-baity), but I’d hesitate to suggest it’ll be anything more than “we’re still working diligently on it”…
Adam Jones from Tool recently had a chat with Kelli from the Orange County Register, in which he discussed a few things about the current tour and upcoming San Bernadino show.  He suggests that they’re still working on the album (though doesn’t give any clues as to when it’ll be done), and that the coming San Bernadino show isn’t a festival! “We’re not using the ‘F-word’ on this – you know,… Read More »Adam talks about the San Bernadino not-festival
Looks like Tool have made the switch this morning from their old Toolband site to the new Full Screen Direct service. Â There seem to be a number of problems (a few usability issues, some 404’s invalid SSL certificates) but otherwise seems to work for the most part. Â I haven’t had much of a chance to delve into the social aspect of the site, or the Toolarmy “bits” so will render… Read More »New Tool Website
Announced this morning are the two “special guests” promised for the Tool show in San Bernadino this June.  They are Fantômas and Clutch, who are both great additions to the lineup! Anyway, this sounds like a great show.  Wish I could be there, but seems unlikely to happen!  Looking forward to hearing reports from all Fourtheye readers who attend! ADDITIONAL SPECIAL GUESTS ANNOUNCED FOR TOOL’S ONLY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SHOW CLUTCH AND… Read More »Fantômas and Clutch join Tool show in SoCal
