Lined up for 20 minutes to get in via metal detector. Opening band Alchemist were ok. HQ is a pretty good venue for live bands, everytime I’ve been there the sound has been excellent and the layout of the venue makes you feel quite close to the band. I though the size of the crowd last night was a little small. Those that were there seemed pretty into the show… Read More »Meshuggah
The new unofficial? Tool DVD, Ultimate Review is available for order on Amazon, for those that are interested.
A Tool DVD of sorts looks like it will be coming out sometime soon according to dennispuleo on Toolarmy: They’ve been together almost 20 years and have survived more of American Rock’s sub-genres than any other band still relevant today [from Thrash to Grunge, Nu-Metal to AOR] but Tool have garnered a respect, from fans and critics alike, that other groups could only dream of; a respect built on raw… Read More »Tool – The Ultimate Review
Not much has happened this week, so here’s a few  Tool and non-Tool related items I noticed going on. The Puscifer store is either open, or opening very soon Jerome Arizona according to a post from Blair on Toolband.  Not doubt most of the merchandise available from the Puscifer online store can also be had there. Daily Grail are having a donation drive at the moment, and are offering a… Read More »Slow News Week
A couple of little things today, Shinji from the French Tool website Salival has posted an interview he did with Buzz from the Melvins. Â Pictures from their recent show there can be found here. Â Also, George emailed me a link to a Craigslist/Ebay auction for an autographed bottle of wine, singed by Maynard and Eric. Â According to the post Maynard rarely signs stuff. Â I guess he wasn’t aware of… Read More »Buzz interview, Signed wine for sale
No Tool news here, but news that I’m sure will please many Tool fans: Nine Inch Nails have been announced as the headline act for next years Soundwave Festival. Â This festival, which has a bigger emphasis on metal/hard rock/punk bands travels all around Australia this year and in my opinion is likely to have a much better lineup than the Big Day Out. Â Many Fourtheye readers will probably agree… Read More »Soundwave Festival Lineup Announced
The Fantomas Melvins Big Band DVD recently released is streaming in it’s entirety on PitchforkTV all this week. If you’d like to check out this great recording then make sure you check this out.
Justin mailed me links to a couple of videos from the upcoming Guitar Hero: World Tour release. They feature two players in a drum-off to the Tool songs Parabola and Vicarious. Enjoy!
My mate Lachrymotion from Toolarmy is reluctantly selling his copy of the Signed Lateralus on Ebay. Â Current bidding puts it at US$89 but don’t be surprised if it goes for US$300+, especially considering it’s one that Adam has doodled on, rather than just a plain autograph.
Mad_Sweeny616 from Toolarmy posts that the mighty Pigmy Love Circus (featuring Danny on drums) will be playing with Killing Joke at the House of Blues (LA I presume) on the 9th of October. Â If you can, you should definitely go!
