Blair Someone has posted another cryptic article on Toolband/Army today, this time alluding to preparation for the upcoming tour: I and a few others have to go to California next week to start getting some things ready for this summer run. I’ve had some work here that I could have dragged through the coming week but decided to gracefully duck out of it and grant myself some freetime before departure.… Read More »Blair’s Cryptic Post
According to a recent article on Blabbermouth: TOOL drummer Danny Carey told The Pulse of Radio that unlike some groups, the members of the band still travel together on the road. “We pretty much all travel together,” he said. “We kind of have to, you know, just for the logistics of everything going down. The schedule gets pretty tight, especially at the beginning of the tour, ’cause there are lots… Read More »Danny Comments on the Tour
Toolband mentioned tickets for the show at the Patriot Center in Fairfax as being on sale on the 30th of May – however it appears they are on sale now! By the looks of things it is close to selling out but tickets were available a moment ago when I checked. Don’t procrastinate!
Enok from Toolarmy messaged me today to tell me about a Tool book he found on Amazon. Entitled Unleashed: The Story of Tool, the blurb tells us: Tool are the Pink Floyd of the 21st Century. Far more than just a metal band, the California – based quartet of master – musicians – Maynard James Keenan, Danny Carey, Justin Chancellor and Adam Jones – have taken the concept of heavy… Read More »Unleashed: The Story of “Tool”
A couple of readers emailed me to let me know that A Perfect Circle will be appearing on Guitar Hero 5. Details of this news and other bands announced can be found at Rolling Stone. No word on what track will appear, but I’d put my money on it being Judith. A couple of tour changes were announced on Toolband today. Firstly the Atlanta show which appeared to have a… Read More »APC on Guitar Hero 5, Atlanta change
I was forwarded an email just a moment ago from Hodge at Toolnavy, while confirms that Tool are playing in Toronto on the 6th of August at the Molson Ampittheatre. Great news for those Canadians hoping for a show! (unless you don’t live anywhere near Toronto)
Got an email today talking of “rumours flying around” about a Toronto Tool gig at the Molson Ampitheatre on the 7th of August. Seems to fit into their current schedule, but I’ve heard nothing concrete at this stage. Have added this to the rumours section on the Tour Page. Also, Blair posted an article on Toolband talking about a Volto! gig on the 5th of June. Included with the article… Read More »Toronto Rumour, Danny’s Drum
I’ve just finished listening to a brief interview with Aaron Turner from Isis, recorded by Andrew Haug for Triple J’s The Racket program (presumably what Three Hours Of Hour/Full Metal Racket is now called). Was a short interview, doesn’t really reveal a massive amount we don’t know, but he does discuss how Adam came to be involved in the record. It appears it mainly happened because Adam and Aaron Harris… Read More »Isis interview on Triple J
Maynard sent out a Puscifer Mailout today, with a couple of things inside, though largely stuff we already know. He confirms: The upcoming Wine Signing Tour (which I’ll paste below for those who’ve missed it) Mentions that the Puscifer Store in Jerome, AZ has been expanded, and that there are a limited edition Etnies Puscifer shoe available (check the coming soon section). The documentary Blood Into Wine: The Arizona Stronghold… Read More »Puscifer Mailout
