Tool are a band from Los Angeles California. This section of Fourtheye contains all the latest Tool news and rumours.
Darkmoogle has brought to my attention a new Tool article. I’m not 100% sure, but it looks like it’s from a magazine called Rock Sound, presumably a British mag since it mentions the Download Festival. There’s a scan of the article below, but in case you don’t feel like squinting: It confirms that 10,000 Days is the name of the CD Tracks include “Rosetta Stoned”, “Lost Keys (Blame Hoffman)” and… Read More »New Tool Article
Adam’s Myspace has had an update in the last couple of days. The updates seem to be several photo’s taken from Adam’s days working in special effects. There appears to be some stuff from Jurassic Park and Nightmare on Elm Street. http://myspace.com/adamjonestv Also, just a couple of opinions regarding what’s happened the last few days: I posted about a rumoured Australian Tour a few days ago. While at this stage… Read More »Adam’s Myspace, Opinion, Toolshed
Blair on Toolband/Army says: JUST IN CASE YOU’RE INTERESTED… The artwork for the upcoming Tool album is going to the separators/printers today, therefore it will eventually be leaked out that the name of the album is (drum roll…….) ‘ 10,000 days ‘ … so there it is. So there you have it. Is it a hoax? Who knows, sounds like a wierd name for a Tool CD to me, but… Read More »10,000 Days
James told me he found this on the Big Day Out forum: Heavy rockers TOOL, who plan to release their new studio album in May, will hit Australian shores on August 8th for shows in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. Tue August 08 – Entertainment Centre – Brisbane – Australia Thu August 10 – SuperDome – Sydney – Australia Sat August 12 – Rod Laver Arena – Melbourne – Australia… Read More »Australian Tour Dates?
Blair has posted on Toolband/Army that all current rumoured tracklistings, including Aldaraia and Teleincision are false. He also takes the time to thank those people out there for saving the band time and energy coming up with fabricated track listings themselves. He does say that if and when a tracklisting is released, it will be alot more straight forward than those that are proposed, and those people expecting Lateralus 2… Read More »All track listings are false…..
According to Wretched and Pnuema i on Toolnavy, US radio stations are confirming that April the 17th will be the day when the first single will be available, and that they have no idea what it is called. This date was subject to the band changing their mind however, but it seems likely to me that this date is a reasonable one. Dan and Foamy have informed me of some… Read More »Single Release Date, Rehearsal Media?
Word on Toolnavy is that it’s been reported by a couple of US radio stations that the new Tool single will be played in the next few days. No one’s really been able to confirm this though, so for the moment, file it in the dodgy rumour folder. In other news, commercial radio stations play crappy music! Who woulda thought!
Skeptic on Toolarmy pointed out that the latest issue of Kerrang (UK edition I presume) has a short interview with Tool regarding the new CD. Here’s a few excerpts I liked: …..anyone expecting the shadowy Californian quartet to have gone soft with age willl be sorely disappointed. True to form, Tools upcoming opus is a 77-minute prog-metal odyssey, packed with plenty of eight minute-plus twisted riff-a-thons, odd-tempo polyrhythms and the… Read More »New Kerrang Article
The recent post on Toolband/Army with the ‘confirmed’ tour dates seems to be growing shorter and shorter. Gone are some dates in Amsterdam and London. There has been no word on why these dates are gone, so for the moment I recommend every out there treat that list as not 100% confirmed, and therefore don’t go planning your life around it. The list as it currently stands is: 5/26 –… Read More »Tool Tour Dates Confirmed?
According to the Download Festival’s website Tool are headlining on the first night, Friday the 9th of June. From what I understand the Download Festival is held in the UK, and seems to be highly commercialised! Good to see one of the headliners on the show aren’t old has-beens (I hope…..)
