November Newsletter

The November newsletter is finally up on Toolband, and it’s a two parter. The first half is found here, while the second half is found on the Butcher website. There’s a link at the bottom of the first half just in case you miss it. http://www.toolband.com/news/letter/2005_11.php http://butcherband.com/newsletter.htm I’ve only skimmed through it, but it doesn’t look like there’s any (non-cryptic) info on the new Tool CD. Sounds interesting though, Mexico… Read More »November Newsletter

No Tool in March?

Blair has written on Toolband/Army that there will be a Spring 2006 Tool release, though it won’t be March.  Apparently they’re still working on the final mixing, segues, etc. For those mathematically inclined Blair has left a clue as to how much longer the mixing process has left until completion.  Feel free to post your results below…

Blair posted on Toolarmy today, that it’s higly likely that there will be more Signed Lateralus Vinyl. Not details as yet, but as soon a “Merch” knows, all will be revealed. He also revealed that he has interviewed someone (a band member – it’s all to cryptic for me) regarding the New CD, and will be sharing this information as soon as he can transfer it from his voice recorder.

More Vinyl Info from Blair

Found on Toolarmy regarding the signed Lateralus Vinyl: They are not individually numbered. I believe that they are factory sealed, so my advice would be to get a re-sealable protective cover if you open it (and I’m sure many will open the album – those whose intent isn’t to put it on ebay). Each copy is individually signed by all four band members (one per side on the ‘slicks’ (the… Read More »More Vinyl Info from Blair

Vinyl Update, Volto

Blair has posted some final info the on Vinyl release. It will be Friday afternoon US/Arizona? time. If you need a little help translating times to your timezoe, use this little tool. I would imagine the vagueness around the time of release is deliberate in order to ‘randomise’ the process a little more. For those Australians out there, the approximate time will be around 8am Saturday morning, so no partying… Read More »Vinyl Update, Volto

Signed and Unsigned Vinyl available Nov 25th

Blair has posted on Toolarmy that the Signed Lateralus Vinyl will be available on Friday November the 25th. No time was announced, though Blair mentioned he’d try and get that information out to members before it happens. No other details were offered but presumably the cost will remain the same (US$100 + US$16 shipping to Australia) and that members will be limited to one each. There was also no indication… Read More »Signed and Unsigned Vinyl available Nov 25th
