New Poll: Are you musical?

This week, another non-Tool question, but at least it’s music related.  I ask what musical skills do you have?  if you play more than one instrument, select the one you feel you are best at.

Poll Results: Do you believe in aliens?

This week I decided to ask a non-Tool question – do you believe in aliens?  The general consensus seems to be yes, and generally they live nowhere near us.  That’s pretty much my view as well.  I tend to think that if they were near by, then we would have detected some signal by now. Still you never really know what’s happening out there….. They exist, but only in a… Read More »Poll Results: Do you believe in aliens?

Maynard on Suicide Girls

Maynard has been interviewed by Suicide Girls’ Daniel Epstein.  A pretty interesting read, and also reveals something about the recent Big Day Out tour that may explain some alleged sub-par performances: DRE: How was touring with the Big Day Out festival in Australia? MK: It was good. I got a chance to taste some wines down there as well, but I had the flu which sucked because I couldn’t taste… Read More »Maynard on Suicide Girls

Las Vegas dates, Pre-Sales

A couple of posts on Toolband/Army today, both related to the rescheduled tour. Firstly it seems that the Las Vegas shows at The Pearl have been set to the 27th and 28th of April.  Good news for you Nevada Tool fans I guess. Finally some Pre-Sale dates have been released, and I know that at least one of you is very keen to know when these tickets go on sale. … Read More »Las Vegas dates, Pre-Sales

Weak and Powerless Alternate Version

Nicko on Alt.Music.Tool posted that Josh Freese’s Myspace now has an alternate version of A Perfect Circles Weak and Powerless.   Josh also talks about his work with the band: A PERFECT CIRCLE: APC has been my main priority on and off since 2000. When I say “on and off” I mean because (unlike most bands) we share a singer with another successful band. So after we do a record and… Read More »Weak and Powerless Alternate Version

Poll Results: Do you like Blair’s Posts/Newsletters?

I figured that this poll was always going to be pretty close.  From my previous discussions with people, it’s always seemed to me that Blair love is very much a subjective thing.  Ususally I find about 25% of people love it, 25% hate it, and the rest just tolerate it simply because we do actually get some Tool news occasionally. This poll suggests otherwise though, with almost half of you… Read More »Poll Results: Do you like Blair’s Posts/Newsletters?

Nick: How does it feel to go back to playing your newer material at the smaller venues after playing strictly arenas when opening up for Tool not too… Read More »Isis Interview
