Amer emailed me the other day, letting me know that he’s being forced to part with his signed copy of the “stupendously rare” (his words not mine!) Cesaro Summability picture disc. Apparently only 25 of these signed items exist in the world, so for you die hard collectors this sounds like a great opportunity to open your wallets and grab a copy. Current bidding on Ebay puts it at $222… Read More »Signed Cesaro Summability on Ebay
According to a recent post on Toolshed: Though all has been quiet on the Tool front for some time, a promoter wrote in today to say he’s heard rumblings of possible Tool shows in 2009. We’ll keep an eye on this and keep you all posted. Personally, I could maybe see a late 2009 tour, but that would be about it. Presuming they maybe hit the recording studio soon, or… Read More »Tool Touring 2009?
For the Tool Collector who has everything, you can now buy Maynard’s Pants. That’s right – this Ebay auction claims to have the actualy leather pants worn by Maynard in the Undertow photo shoot. According to the description they are “beyond dirty”, and who knows if they’re legit or not! Bidding starts at US$185. Thanks to MrManBack from Toolarmy for the tip.
Blair has posted the October/Halloween Tool Newsletter, which mainly outlines his and Danny‘s trip to the Guitar Hero World Tour party in LA. A somewhat interesting read, but I’m sure most Tool finds will find the following statement much more interesting: Oh, one more thing: “No”, GHWT wasn’t “the big thing” (your words) alluded to in earlier posts. I believe that’s still a go. In the meantime, keep on rocking… Read More »October Newsletter
The Gauntlet has a (very brief) article on Maynard, the Wine Signings and the new Puscifer Store and I picked up this little tidbit: Responding to rumors of a live incarnation of Puscifer and a possible Las Vegas outing this February, Keenan offered no confirmation but a knowing smile. Not really much point reading the rest of the article unless you’re a die hard.
A Tool site that’s been around for a while now, Tool Collector has had a change of URLs recently. The site, formerly toolcollector.net can now be found at http://www.toolcollector.nin-au.com/ For those that are interested, the webmaster Ryan keeps a record of all the Tool releases he’s collected over the years, with plenty of pictures to gawk at. Well worth a visit for most Tool fans.
I read this in Maynard‘s Myspace post the other day, but for some reason thought nothing of it. Thanks to Jake for pointing out to me that the Momma Sed video is now streaming on Myspace. It seems to be a full version of the Sunglasses ad that we saw a month or so ago. Momma Sed
Oldesch on Toolarmy tells me that there is a new Puscifer remix album available on Puscifer.com called D is for Dubby. This album contains nine tracks all remixed by Lustmord: Dub remixes from “V is for Vagina” by the elusive O.G. Goth legend, LUSTMORD. Lot’s of Dub out there in the world. Some of it is actually done correctly. Lustmord is one of the few who do it right. Turn… Read More »D is for Dubby
Haven’t watched this yet, but apparently this Rolling Stone video interview features Adam talking about his involvement in Guitar Hero. Thanks to Nathan for the tip! Note: The video doesn’t seem to work in Firefox. IE and Google Chrome seem to handle it fine. Could be Adblock or something interfering. Who knows….
