Sydney 2007

It’s been a few days now since I saw Tool twice in Sydney, and this article is a review of not only the Tool shows, but of my whole trip in general. Of course I’m not going to bore you with too many trivial details, this will mainly be about Tool, but I’ll also be talking about the Big Day Out in general, and also my brief trip to the… Read More »Sydney 2007

Pimp Your Ride

Those of us with fully sick cars have for a while felt that while 4-inch exhausts and nitrous boosters are great, they just aren’t good enough. Well now you can fulfill all your dreams with these Tool decals. According to the sale blurb, these decals are 20cm long and use the same materials as decals on race cars. Only $5 each too. I hope they’ve got good lawyers, since I… Read More »Pimp Your Ride

The wait is almost over.  Tomorrow morning I catch a plane to Sydney to catch Tool live in action at the Entertainment Centre, and then the next day at the Big Day Out.  I doubt I’ll be posting again until after the show, and possible not at all for a few days if I can’t get and internet connection.  Rest assured though that when I do get back I will… Read More »The time has come

Time Off interviews Justin

I found this short interview with Justin today on Time-Off today.  It’s not particularly long, but it does have a few interesting points: TO: Does the band choose which support acts it plays with? JC: “Yes, we completely decide that. It just comes down to what we’re into, and obviously everyone has different ideas about that  –  everyone’s got a different current thing that they love. So we just sort… Read More »Time Off interviews Justin
