Blair has posted the February Newsletter on Toolband/Army, which rejects claims that the last newsletters had any codes in regards to a Live DVD, new tour dates or a Tool movie. He doesn’t flat out deny any of this either. It also explains that members of Tool are currently: Watching basketball games, drinking (nay, producing) fine wine, playing Halo 3 with other members of the Halo Nation, eating McDonald’s at… Read More »February Tool Newsletter 2008
Dan emailed me today that he read in a recent copy of the New Zealand music Magazine Rip It Up: I was reading in the latest Rip It Up (NZ music mag) that reporter David Farrier happened to be on the same flight as Tool when he went to one of their shows in the States towards the end of the touring. He asked them the obvious question: “When will… Read More »NZ Tour Rumours
According to a Grammy-related Rolling Stone article I read this morning: and, to our extreme pleasure, Maynard James Keenan and drummer Danny Carey from Tool. Maynard promised a new Tool album, the though of which makes our Patron hangover much more manageable. That’s all there is…
In what will come as a surprise to no one, the Foo Fighters won the Best Hard Rock Performance Grammy, not Tool. Update: Here’s a pic of Maynard and Danny – the Stylemaster!

Here’s a list of the tracks: Holiday in Cambodia – with Jello Biafra ex-The Dead Kennedys- 12.11.07 Sober with Serj Tankian of System of A Down- 01.19.07 Lateralus with Tom… Read More »Tool – Special Guests Compilation

fortysixand2 posted on Toolarmy the other advising that there is a Spanish Fly remix of Puscifer‘s The Undertaker now available on Maynard‘s Myspace site. It features a female sing Spanish vocals rather than Maynard, but sound cool regardless.
The January Newsletter by Blair is now up on Toolband/Army for those interested. It’s quite long, talks about many different things, and for my simple brain doesn’t appear to hold anything particularly useful. Read at your own peril!
In the last few days we’ve had some news on Toolband/Army showing us what Justin and Danny have been doing on their time off. Justin and Shelee have been visiting famous gravestones in Seattle, while Danny and Rynne have been whale watching in Hawaii. More photos can be found on Toolarmy. No word on what Adam and Maynard are up to though. Presumably Maynard is busying himself at his winery,… Read More »Tool on Holidays
