Sorry about the lack of news the last few days. Those of you active in the forum would know that I’ve been busy migrating the forums from an old bbPress 1 system to a more modern, and hopefully more flexible bbPress 2 system. There were a fair few headaches involved with this, the migration is now complete, and the new forums can be enjoyed here. There are still some further… Read More »Friday Fourtheye Updates

You may remember about a month ago Toolboy asked me to post his collection of Tool recordings in the hope that it would sell as one large package. Well, unsurprisingly (to both Toolboy and myself) it didn’t sell in one lot as $3000+ is probably a little more than someone would like to pay for the whole lot. Toolboy no longer wants to sell the entire collection, but is interesting… Read More »Tool Collection for sale Part 2!
For some reason I rarely seem to post Volto! gigs, but I figured there’s no time like the present to start! Especially as they have a new album coming out soon.

Just over a year ago, Tool took to the stage for a series of shows in Australia and New Zealand as part of the Big Day Out Festival as well as a brief stopover in Hawaii. At the time I started writing an article covering the events of the tour, but never got around to publishing it.

I came across a new interview on Arizona Republic with Maynard today, where he talks about his experiences in Arizona and Winemaking. Nothing particularly new, but an interesting read none the less: Touring plans will have to be scheduled around his other big commitment, though: He can’t very well tour during harvest. “Pretty much from August to November,” Keenan says, “I’m in the winery.” In other Maynard news, check out… Read More »Maynard talks about Arizona & Winemaking
