According to a recent interview on IGN with MTV Games’ Senior Vice President Paul DeGooyer, Tool is among the list of bands that they “working on” in order to get some for their tracks into the popular video game Rock Band. I don’t own Rock Band yet (in fact I’m not sure if it’s been released down under) but this would come pretty close to making me want to buy… Read More »Tool in Rock Band?
Blabbermouth posted an article today pointing to a video interview where Billy Howerdel discusses the upcoming Ashes Divide release. Turns out Maynard‘s son Devo plays cello on it.
There’s a new (and cryptic) post on Toolband today, which talks about the speculated Missoula show, but not the San Antonio one. I’m not really able to decipher any useful information from this, except that there may be more in the January Newsletter. There were rumours that there was a brief Pre-Sale for Toolarmy members, but at this stage I can’t really see anything to confirm this actually happened, or… Read More »Tool Pre-Sales?

When closed, I’ll start compiling the information and release sections of it at… Read More »Fourtheye Survey closes soon!
According to the Puscifer website, the Queen B DVD is now on sale for US$6.99. It includes: some bonus stuff. Waffling irrelevant commentary. A cameo from THEE Josh Freeze and Buddyhead Travis.
