Tool posts regarding touring
Danny recently spoke to The Rock Radio where he talks about the next North American tour in March-April 2007: “The show in the springtime will definitely be different than the shows that went around this fall in America. Projection ideas will be added and changed, and props and whatnot will all evolve too, I’m sure. You know, it’s just the way our band always works. We work on that kind… Read More »North America Tour 2007
According to Blabbermouth Tool have cancelled their upcoming show in Barcelona due to “logistical” reasons. What do they mean by “logistical”? My guess is either the bands equipment won’t arrive in time, or someone forgot to book the bands First Class airline tickets. Isis will be holding a launch party at the Cha-Cha Lounge in LA on the 30th of October. According to Blair there will be give aways on… Read More »Cancelled Show, Isis
Hi Everyone, the wedding went really well, and thanks to all of you for wishing us well. I’ve got a few quiet days before I head off to the US on holidays. A couple of things came across my desk while I wasn’t paying attention: Ronnie from New Zealand has emailed me a link to the second part of the NZ TV3 interview with Danny and Adam. Haven’t had a… Read More »Update!
Tool have been confirmed for the Big Day Out, as announced in the official press release. Here’s their rather exaggerated and manipulative comment about Tool. BIG DAY OUT 2007 will host the heaviest modern metal experience of all, TOOL. After 15 years of breaking, shaking and earthquaking new musical ground, TOOL topped the charts in 2006 with their latest unique melding of art, prog and metal, 10,000 Days. With an… Read More »Big Day Out announced, Mr and Mrs Hellboy
According to the recent Triple J newsletter, Jay and the Doctor will be announcing the Big Day Out Festival lineup on Wednesday morning. While it’s been more or less established that Tool, Muse and Trivium will be playing, until that lineup is officially confirmed, anything could happen. It also mentions that there’s been a few hoax lineups released recently, so those of you who have read any, especially the one… Read More »Big Day Out Announcement
There’s rumours going around on Toolarmy, and also from this link sent to me by Mattias (unfortunately in Italian – translations would be appreciated) which suggest that Mastodon will be the support act for Tool on their European tour. Personally I love Mastodon, so it sounds like a damn good idea to me, but there’s no real confirmation of this yet. A couple of posts from Blair today, the first… Read More »Mastodon to join Tool in Europe?
According to Toolband/Army the Tool show tonight in Madison, WI has been cancelled again due to illness. Presumably Maynard is still not 100%. There’s no indication if there’ll be a make up show in this case either… Isis fans can feel a little better though, since due to the cancellation the guys will be playing at the Beat Kitchen in Chicago tonight (19th September). Doors open at 9:30pm, and tickets… Read More »Wisconsin Cancelled
Blabbermouth posted an excerpt from an interview Adam did on 99.5 KISS today, where he explains the reason for cancelling the San Antonio show. As we expected it’s due to Maynard’s illnes: “Oh, I’m really sorry,” Jones said. “It’s horrible, you know. Our singer got sick… Maynard is sick and it’s very unfortunate ’cause, you know, when I get sick or Danny [Carey] or Justin [Chancellor] get sick, we can… Read More »Adam explains the Cancellation
Lance and Bob both emailed me to let me know that tonights San Antonio at the AT&T Center has been cancelled due to illness. Those who’ve been following reviews of recent Tool shows will know that Maynard has been struggling the last few nights, and as a result the setlists seem to be a little more instrumental than normal. Anyway, hope you get well soon Maynard. TOOL Postpones Tonight’s Engagement… Read More »San Antonio Show Cancelled
The Toolband.com news seems to be up and running again, this time with a post from Blair telling people that he’s anticipating a great show at the Staples Center in LA tonight. Does this mean it’ll be great as in the first time they play 10,000 Days? Who knows. If you are going to the gig, let us all know what happens. J. Pirro has sent me a link to… Read More »Tool News and Reviews
