Here’s just a few things I noticed during the surfing over the weekend: HMV UK are taking pre-orders for a Tool release on the 19th of September. No indication on what it actually is. For those with a burning desire to pre-order a mystery Tool product go here. Someone on the alt.music.tool newsgroup posted this link to some photo’s of Maynard and Adam from a concert in Germany. Some very… Read More »From the Net
Another post from Blair on Toolband, this time relating to Danny’s appearances in the coming weeks. On Wednesday July 27th he’ll be appearing with Scott Kinsey (of Tribal Tech) and Steve Tavaglione (sax and EWI) at the La Ve Lee jazz club in Studio City (12514 Ventura Blvd. 818-980-8158). Sounds interesting. He’ll also be playing with Pigmy Love Circus on the 6th of August, coming straight from the recording studio.… Read More »Danny’s schedule
The San Francisco Examiner are reporting that a A Perfect Circle video will appear on the upcoming Constantine DVD, presumably for the song Passive. Also included are the usual featurettes and easter eggs, and also a Limited Edition “Hellblazer” comic book. Feel free to comment on whether the movie is any good or not. I’ve never seen it nor have I ever heard of the “Hellblazer” comic.
The July Newsletter is up on Toolband. Is it just me or does it look like Danny’s had a haircut? Not a great deal of Tool news to the casual eye. Mentions Joe several times, which may or may not be Joe Baressi. There’s a picture of a mystery guy in the newsletter, second set down, on the right, which kinda looks like Joe.
Straight from Toolband: Last Thursday (or maybe it was Friday), a guy named Joe (not Ron!) something or other who is working with the band grilled up some kind of sausages that were described as “excellent.†Does this mean that Tool are indeed working with Joe Barresi, presumably not Ron Barassi, the famous Australia Rules Football player.
I noticed today on the Wikipedia Tool Talk page this interesting snippet: It’s been confirmed that teleincision.com was registered by a prankster at SomethingAwful.com in an attempt to mislead rabid Tool fans. Now I’m obviously not sure what evidence if any there is of this, but it certainly reinforces my thoughts that Teleincision doesn’t really exist.
A new post from Blair on the Toolband site confirms that the Lateralus Vinyl Edition will be released some time in August, and that the 23rd ‘sounds pretty good’. This may put to rest the rumours regarding Teleincision coming out in August (presuming of course Teleincicion is a legitimate release at all, which I doubt). More details are to come in the next few days.
Peach, Justin’s old band look like they’re about to release a new CD, entitled Suns of the Tundra. The sample sound pretty damn good to me, forcing me to re-think my previous thoughts on how good they are….
Myspace sucks, and unfortunately I don’t have the know how to post a link to this, but Mike from Pigmy Love Circus has said on his Myspace site: Tool is recording soon and when they finish we start on our opus and then tweak it out while Tool is on tour this year. So could Tool be touring by the end of the year? Sounds good to me, even though… Read More »Myspace Sucks
The prp is reporting that: Tool will reportedly be issuing a vinyl edition of their “Lateralus” album in North America on August 23rd. The outing is said to be a double-vinyl effort on 4 picture discs, packaged in a special plastic gatefold with holographic foil. No official word has been released as of yet however. Too bad for us non-North Americans, not that the idea of Vinyl is that appealing… Read More »Lateralus Vinyl
