Information about Toolarmy
A posting on Toolarmy has denied the release date advertised in certain Hastings stores in the US. One of the Tool inner circle (Kat to be exact) has denied that the 23rd of August is the release date, and that Toolarmy members will indeed be the first to hear the announcement. Good for us members I guess. For those Toolarmy members out there, feel free to PM/positively Karma me, my… Read More »Tool release date not true!
This was reported on Toolarmy today, and this guy is not the only one claiming to have seen this? So I was wandering around my local music/video/book store, Hastings today, and suddenly I had found myself step directly into the 5th deminsion. What I saw there was most bewildering. While walking by the music information desk, from the corner of my eye, under the “reserve your copy now” poster, it… Read More »The Plot Thickens
About two years ago, I discovered RSS feeds. As simple method of streaming information and news from a correctly set up website. Shortly after that I discovered a Blog, the Living Colour Blog, which outlined the news and events of the band Living Colour. It included an RSS feed, which I find makes life very easy to collect the kind of information I wanted about the band. Today, as I… Read More »Prying Open
Ticket sales for the two side shows have now pretty much wrapped up, with Melbourne sold out, and Brisbane being close to it – at time of writing there were some silver tickets only left, all single seats. Ticketek sales for the Brisbane show went pretty smoothly, and Ticketmaster for Melbourne not so. My experience this morning with Ticketmaster was that at about 9:00:15 there were only GA tickets left,… Read More »Tool sales wrap-up, APC do Arizona
Well the pre-sales happened earlier today. Brisbane went about as smoothly as you’d hope. Tickets may even still be available if you haven’t got them already. Melbourne on the other handle was a cock up of epic proportions. In between wrong passwords, My Ticketmaster pre-sales and the late availablilty of Gold Tickets, there’s a wide range of fans, myself included who feel a little pissed that they missed out. Good… Read More »Pre-Sale Wrap Up, Adam Jones Interview
Prepare your wallets! The official Tool store on Toolband & Toolarmy is now open. It appears to be the same in both locations (no exclusive Toolarmy stuff yet) and it can be accessed directly from here.
Got an email from coach from Toolarmy today who has the reluctantly part with his copy of Maynard’s Sieben. The auction is up on Ebay and bidding starts at US$400. Get at it!
Chris emailed me today to let me know that the Toolarmy store has had an update recently. Even better news is that there are a couple of new designs in the shirts section. Well, at least a couple I don’t recognize anyway. Just to comment a little, I don’t think this is any indication of a new site. it just looks to me like they’ve installed a shopping cart app… Read More »Toolarmy Store gets an update
I received an email from Alan Jones last night (Adam’s brother and Tool’s attorney) who confirmed that yesterdays request for Tool advertising material is 100% legitimate. He mentioned that it is for a legal problem regarding litigation with the insurance industry as a fallout of the case against Cam De Leon. Edit: Alan wanted to let you all know that this is definitely no reflection on Cam.  Tool have buried… Read More »“Toolarmy need your help” Clarification
