Danny’s Stick
The Betterfly was lucky enough to go to the recent Tool show in Finland. As if that wasn’t good enough, Betterfly managed to catch one of Danny‘s drumsticks. Here’s a couple of pics for you all to enjoy!
Carnarvon Gorge
No real Tool news today, except for Blair mentioning that more US tour dates will be confirmed too. It also appears that Maynard is mentioning at shows that they’ll be back in Europe in November. For those who are interested, I’ve posted some photos I took of my recent trip to Carnarvon Gorge on Flickr. While you’re there you may want to check out the TDN Live group which has… Read More »Carnarvon Gorge

Norwegian Chat, Tripping
Looks like Tool maybe doing a bit of a Webchat in Norway. No idea when it is, it may have already been and gone. Good luck! Blabbermouth also says that Tool will be on a local radio station on the Tinitus show on Wednesday, July 5 between 20.00 CET (8:00 p.m.) and 22.00 CET (10:00 p.m.) on P3. In other news, I’m going away camping for a few day (Carnarvon… Read More »Norwegian Chat, Tripping
Tool in California (again) and Alex Grey 10000 Days
A friend of clg2112 says that Tool are definitely playing the Staples Center in California on the 7th, 8th and 9th of September. I’m sure confirmation of this will appear on Toolband in due course. Blksun from Toolarmy shares with us a picture of his copy of 10,000 Days signed by Alex Grey. Looks good to me.
Volto! and JZ
Blair tells us (I think) that there’s a couple of good shows coming up: Firstly on the 3rd of July, JZ and his Hubcap Corral will be playing at the Baked Potato. Apparently there’ll be a BBQ out the back, and Tool fans are invited. Who knows who will show up. Then, on the 20th of July, Volto! will be playing also at the Baked Potato. No word on whether… Read More »Volto! and JZ
