According to newdawn73 from Toolarmy Tool have been confirmed as playing on the German M’era Luna Festival in August later this year. Presumably this is the first of many dates for the next European tour. Just as a slight editorial, the next lot of touring (which should include Australia and New Zealand) will quite possibly be the last tour for Tool for a while. The next chance to see Tool… Read More »Tool confrimed on German festival?

Tour dates for Peeping Tom’s trip to Australia and New Zealand have been confirmed: 16th June Auckland 19th June Brisbane 21st June Sydney 22nd June Melbourne 24th June Perth Looks like South Australians (and South Islanders!) miss out again. One less show for me to go too I suppose. I like Peeping Tom, but not… Read More »Ipecac Stuff
No Tool news this week, so I thought I’d just write about a recent Tool-related event that happened in my house the other day. We had the building inspector come in to check out our house the other day (for those that are interested, it has been sold and we’ll be back in Adelaide shortly). While examining the study, the inspector noticed my various Tool items hung up on the… Read More »Hellboy new guitarist for Tool?
Since rumours of an upcoming Peeping Tom tour are being bandied around at the moment, I thought now might be a good chance to ask – what is your favorite Mike Patton project?
Last week I asked if you guys were musical in anyway, and it turns out that most of you have dabbled in music at some time or another. Most of you seemed to be guitar players, but there was a pretty even spread amonst the rest. Personally I picked Bass guitar, though I also play the 6-string and did many years of piano playing when I was younger. Here are… Read More »Roll Results: Are You Musical?
It’s been a pretty slow news week, so I thought I might share this article submitted by Andrew that talks about how Heavy Metal is seen as comfort music for bright children: “There is a perception of gifted and talented students as being into classical music and spending a lot of time reading. I think that is an inaccurate stereotype. There is literature that links heavy metal to poor academic… Read More »Metal for nerds?

This week, another non-Tool question, but at least it’s music related. I ask what musical skills do you have? if you play more than one instrument, select the one you feel you are best at.
This week I decided to ask a non-Tool question – do you believe in aliens? The general consensus seems to be yes, and generally they live nowhere near us. That’s pretty much my view as well. I tend to think that if they were near by, then we would have detected some signal by now. Still you never really know what’s happening out there….. They exist, but only in a… Read More »Poll Results: Do you believe in aliens?
Maynard has been interviewed by Suicide Girls’ Daniel Epstein. A pretty interesting read, and also reveals something about the recent Big Day Out tour that may explain some alleged sub-par performances: DRE: How was touring with the Big Day Out festival in Australia? MK: It was good. I got a chance to taste some wines down there as well, but I had the flu which sucked because I couldn’t taste… Read More »Maynard on Suicide Girls
