Got an email today talking of “rumours flying around” about a Toronto Tool gig at the Molson Ampitheatre on the 7th of August.

Also, Blair posted an article on Toolband talking about a Volto! gig on the 5th of June. Included with the article… Read More »Toronto Rumour, Danny’s Drum

A usually reliable source told me over the weekend that Tool will be appearing in Guitar Hero 4, with the track Schism, Vicarious and Parabola available to play. Apparently the graphics used during the songs will not be the usual seen in GH, but a conglomerate of Alex Grey artwork and the eyes from Lateralus and Aenima. More details on this as they come to hand. Sounds like fun, but… Read More »Tool in Guitar Hero 4?

Since the truth is now out there, I’ll reveal what I know about the Vicarious video. It’s not much really. Here’s a copy of the letter I was forwarded over a week ago now, and sworn to secrecy: Hello, It’s with great excitement that we announce Tool’s long-awaited “Vicarious” DVD, featuring the unreleased video “Vicarious” and other content, will be released December 18 2007.

According to the latest CoSM newsletter, Alex Grey is auctioning his works Hope and Fear to raise money for the purchase or permanant land for the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors. The paintings were recently displayed at the Burning Man Festival. Personally I don’t think it’s Alex Grey’s best work by a long shot, but if you’re a die-hard and have a big enough wall, then I’m sure it’d be very… Read More »For Sale: Hope and Fear
