Looks like the rumours were true… Blair just posted: My friends, we can no longer hide the terrible truth. The holidays are rapidly approaching, and with them the NEW TOOL DVD/VIDEO for VICARIOUS is scheduled to be released on DECEMBER 18th (or 19th) and will include an EXTENDED CUT, lots of BONUS MATERIAL and, of course, SPECIAL PACKAGING. Here’s a sneak preview of a working still. The working still shows… Read More »Vicarous DVD in December
Blair has posted the lyrics for Jambi on Toolarmy today. Non-Toolarmy members will just have to continue humming along until someone posts them online. Blair also plugs the V is for Vagina CD from Puscifer, which is available for pre-order on the Puscifer site. It’s not very Tool-ish for those that haven’t heard any yet. Those wanting something more Toolish will just have to wait until December…
Just a couple of snippets of news from Toolband/Army. As well as wishing happy birthday to Minsun, and reminding us of a VOLTO! show on Friday the 19th of October, Blair tells us that Danny has had some followup surgery on his arm. From the tone of the post it doesn’t sound like anything too serious, but we all hope there are no further complications regardless. They also remind us… Read More »Danny’s Arm, Butcher
Blair has posted on Toolarmy: In speaking with the band’s management a couple of days ago, unfortunately, it appears that there WON’T be any ToolArmy pre-sales offered for this brief tour (which is practically being put together on the fly). However, this DOESN’T mean that there won’t be any (TA) pre-sales (and a better system for implementing them) for any future Tool tours. I should add, though, at the same… Read More »No Pre-Sales, Things to come….
Blair has posted a new newsletter including a gigantic scan of a baseball card on Toolband/Army. Those who don’t like Blair’s usual ramblings should give it a miss.
Looks like the rumours of Tool playing the Nokia Theatre in LA over Halloween (31st of October and the 1st of November) are true. Ticketmaster’s website says tickets go on sale on this Saturday. No word on if these are special shows in anyway, or if they’re part of another tour, but I’m sure Blair will give us the gist of it later this week. Thanks to fortysixand2 on Toolarmy… Read More »Tool at Nokia Theatre LA
According to Blair, at the Shred School you can expect: ADAM’S teaching at SHRED SCHOOL (see post below), and I’m fairly certain that he’s going to go above and beyond, bringing artwork, etc. (you know those Tool productions…), so if you’re planning on giving him an apple, make it blue, with a Star of Babalon inscibed inside. Also mentioned is that Buzz & Dale from The Mevlins are performing at… Read More »More Shred School Info, The Melvins
Blair tells us that Mike Savage from Pigmy Love Circus has triumphed over hs bout of throat cancer. Apparently he’s ready for his next challenge, which I’m sure some hope is a new Pigmy’s album. The Notes From The Crew section in Toolarmy finally got a start today, and it’s been revealed that Eric, the bands stage manager is writing it. In his first post he talks about how Tool’s… Read More »Triumph, Notes from the Crew
This Friday the 27th of July, the Melvins will be playing at The Troubadour in Hollywood. Trevor Dunn from Fantomas will be taking care of bass playing this show, and they’re expecting to play the entire Lysol and Eggnog albums. Blair tells us that some members of Tool might be there. Adam playing with the guys perhaps?
Blair posted a somewhat ominous message to Toolband/Army today. Not sure whether he’s referring to, but feel free to discuss the possibilities! The band members are scheduled to return home today, and wish to thank all those fans for supporting them on this latest stretch of the “10,000 Days” tour. After a bit of a rest (actually, all of them have various projects to work on during this ‘break’), they… Read More »Closing another page, turning to Puscifer?
