Back again! It’s Maynard’s Birthday today, and while it’s not in the US, let me be (maybe) the first to say Happy Birthday. Maynard related Poll coming soon! In other slightly more exciting news, a whole bunch of new US tour dates have been released: June 5 – Greenville, SC @ Bi-Lo Center June 7 – Richmond, VA @ Richmond Coliseum June 8 – Baltimore, MD @ 1st Mariner Arena… Read More »Happy Birthday Maynard, More Tour Dates
I figured that this poll was always going to be pretty close. From my previous discussions with people, it’s always seemed to me that Blair love is very much a subjective thing. Ususally I find about 25% of people love it, 25% hate it, and the rest just tolerate it simply because we do actually get some Tool news occasionally. This poll suggests otherwise though, with almost half of you… Read More »Poll Results: Do you like Blair’s Posts/Newsletters?
This week I ask what do you think of Blair’s various postings on Toolband/Army. Discuss!
Blair has posted a short February newsletter. For once the contents a very much Tool related, so no bitching please. Blair goes into detail on how Danny tore his bicep muscle during an altercation with Rynne‘s dog Amos, and there’s even a picture of the cute fella for you to put on your dart boards (presuming you can bear throwing darts at such an adorable dog). Anyway, the good (unofficial)… Read More »February Newsletter
According to Blair, it seems that there were pre-sales for the recently announced US Dates, and that some members of Toolarmy decided it would be a good idea to release this password. Rather than sharing the love, it seems that this has resulted in scalpers purchasing these pre-sale tickets instead. I’m sure these members were trying to do the right thing, but it looks like it’s backfired on them. Allegedly… Read More »Pre-sales Spoiled?

Blair has posted a very Australian themed newsletter on Toolband/Army today, obviously in celebration of the upcoming tour. As usual it’s pretty light on Tool info, but heavy on weirdness.
Blair posted the December Newsletter today on Toolband/Army. I found it to be somewhat more interesting than usual, since it discusses Lipan Conjuring from 10,000 Days. Not a bad read, but don’t expect any kind of huge insight into Tool.
Greasy on Toolarmy today pointed out to us that there’s some more Signed Lateralus Vinyl on Ebay at the moment. Bidding on this one starts at $300, and as I write this there have been no bids. Here’s the link. The Tool Hotline woke up from their deep slumber to post a couple of things. Firstly there’s this gallery of photos from a recent show in France. Secondly they mention… Read More »Signed Vinyl, Photos, Volto!, Isis
Blair posted the November Newsletter today. Seems to be the usual ramblings, this time about his trip to San Antonio. This is mainly in response to the cancelled show, and Blair mentions that the show will be rescheduled for the 2007 US tour. There have been plenty of photo’s posted for Toolarmy members, today there’s one of Adam, Camella and Brian May. Nice beard Adam, looks like those hairy guys… Read More »November Newsletter, Adam + Guitarist
Casi emailed me today, telling me that he received and email for Blair a few days ago, confirming that Tool will be touring the Gulf Coast region on their next US tour. Hopefully those of you who missed out last time will be able to catch them next year. Toolshed mentioned that Danny and Brann Dailor of Mastodon will appear on this Tuesday’s episode of The Radio Rockshow.
