Blair Someone has posted another cryptic article on Toolband/Army today, this time alluding to preparation for the upcoming tour: I and a few others have to go to California next week to start getting some things ready for this summer run. I’ve had some work here that I could have dragged through the coming week but decided to gracefully duck out of it and grant myself some freetime before departure.… Read More »Blair’s Cryptic Post
Got an email today talking of “rumours flying around” about a Toronto Tool gig at the Molson Ampitheatre on the 7th of August. Seems to fit into their current schedule, but I’ve heard nothing concrete at this stage. Have added this to the rumours section on the Tour Page. 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

Blair posted the April Newsletter today, which was pretty short and confirms four tour dates – the three festivals and Salt Lake City. He mentions that he will be posting other info on Toolarmy for a change. So far only one post I can find, which suggests he knows the dates for the summer tour, and that there are no LA dates at this stage. LA fans need not freak… Read More »April Newsletter

Of course you did. Of course we did Blair!
Blair made a cryptic post on Toolarmy today: Anyone besides Buzz, Junior and I see that blistering line drive of a foul ball the other night at Dodger Stadium that damn near postponed a certain tour? Easier just to buy one of the damn things. Speaking of baseball (which I love), in planning my… vacation, while in Chi-Town the second week in August (when the weather’s nice), I was hoping… Read More »Lollapalooza Confirmed?

Believe it or not, everything I’ve posted today has been 100% true. Â No jokes! Â Blair however has posted a cryptic picture to Toolband, which may or may not be a joke. Â I will let you guys be the judge: JESUS LOVES YOU. THEN AGAIN (like the tee-shirt says), HE LOVES EVERYBODY. Perhaps the new album is called Here My Prayer and the first single will be the 1 hour and… Read More »April Fools Day?
Blair has released the March Tool Newsletter on Toolband/Army this morning, which may or may not contain April Fools Jokes within. Â It mainly talks about Justin and a TeePee that he erected at his house, will allusions to him writing songs for the next album. For those who only care about specific news though, the last paragraph delivers: Anyway, that’s what Justin may or may not be up to these… Read More »Tool March Newsletter
This is nothing more than speculation based on Blair‘s cryptic emails, but is worth posting anyway: Sounds kinda crazy I know, but collectivejudas29 put together a good analysis of Blair’s spirit session from the February newsletter that led him to conclude Tool may be playing a show in July. It seems right to me, and more specifically it seems like they might be playing a festival. If it’s in July,… Read More »Tool to play All Good Festival?
