I found this interesting article today, and Joshua Davis, who talks extensively about his work with Tool. It includes the line “Here’s a picture of me pissing in the Tool toilet covered with gold and platinum albums”. Unfortunately no picture was included!

Also on the soundtrack and many nu-metal bands, but also Revolting Cocks. I also forgot the mention that Butcher played… Read More »Puscifier, Butcher, Vinyl
Toolshed has mentioned that Tool will be confirmed as the headline act for the 2006 Big Day Out festival down here in Australia. Personally I’d be a little surprised, but I guess you never know.
