According the Ipecac website, the Mandrake will opening a gallery soon which feature album covers made by more than 30 artists inspired by The Melvins. Tool favorites Kevin Willis and Mackie Osbourne will be featured, but there are also a few other familiar names in the lineup. The show runs from the 17th of February through to the 24th of March at 2692 S. La Cienega Boulevard Los Angeles.
According to an article on Billboard.com, Tool will be honouring their commitment to the Bonnaroo Festival. Personally, I’d expect that the US Tour will be rescheduled to begin after the festival. Thanks to the Tool Hotline for tip.
All the talk seems to be about Danny’s injury this week, so I’ve decided that this weeks poll will ask who could replace Danny?
This weeks poll cause a lot of discussion (as it was designed to) though overall it comes as no surprise to me to see that the vast majority of you don’t want Tool to call it quits anytime soon. Personally I don’t think the need to call it a day. As every band matures they need to make decisions which influence how and what they play, and Tool certainly aren’t… Read More »Poll Results: Should Tool call it a day?

According to a post by Carpetcrawler on Toolarmy, someone on a music biz chatroom has posted: “Looks like someone broke an arm… All or atleast some of the April/March tour to be rescheduled.” There’s not a shred of evidence to support this statement, but it’s a slow news day so why not. So don’t get too excited just yet, if anything else is heard then you’llread it here.
Spongebob from Toolnavy pointed out that there is a Danny Carey drumskin from the New Zealand Big Day Out on Trade Me. The current bidding price is $100 (New Zealand I presume).

I’ve had it suggested to me by several people that Tool are “past it”, or “irrelevant”, or that certain members of the band are no longer into it. It has also been mentioned that recent live performances have been sub-par. Personally i don’t know that I agree with all of this, but this week I ask the controversial question – should Tool call it a day?
Toolshed are reporting that the lineup for the Bonnaroo Festival in Tennessee was leaked last night, and that Tool were on the lineup. If this is true then it should be confirmed in the next few days. As I wrote this message, it seems these tour dates were announced on Toolband: 3/31 Baton Rouge, LA @ River Center 4/2 Pensacola, FL @ Pensacola Civic Center 4/3 Tallahassee, FL @ Leon… Read More »Tool At Bonnaroo?
