May Tool Newsletter released with a Volto! twist

Blair posted the May Tool Newsletter yesterday, and for those keeping score it doesn’t really contain a whole load of Tool information. It does however contain a biography of Danny’s band Volto! who, in case you’ve been totally ignoring my last couple of posts, you’d know are releasing a new album Incitare in July. Not mentioned in the email is that you can head over to the Volto! website, sign… Read More »May Tool Newsletter released with a Volto! twist

April 2013 Tool Newsletter

Blair has posted the April 2013 Tool Newsletter, and it doesn’t have anything particularly exciting for Tool fans (ie no new album news). It does feature and interesting question regarding Truckfighters, as well as some clarification regard a few things with the Opiate reissue: Q: “Hi! Don’t know who to contact really, maybe you could help me in the right direction? Just checking will TOOL release new material soon? Hopefully… Read More »April 2013 Tool Newsletter

Danny and Adam Opiate interviews with Blair online

There hasn’t been an announcement, but several Fourtheye readers have notified me that both Adam’s and Danny’s interview with Blair have been published. The one with Adam appears in the last newsletter on Toolband. It’s largely a reprint of what has already been talked about in other interviews. Danny’s, found on his website, is a little more interesting, and he talks about his work on Opiate and hints at some… Read More »Danny and Adam Opiate interviews with Blair online

Blair hints at New Zealand?

Word is we’re expecting some kind of Tool news this week, and I’ve predicted it will be some kind of tour announcement. Tool are playing in Ozzfest Japan in May, and it’s not unusual for bands playing there to also make the trek down to Australia. Just to add a little fuel to the fire, Blair posted this today on Toolband: ARE YOU READY NEW ZEALAND… for WAITANGI DAY! Keep… Read More »Blair hints at New Zealand?

Tool January 2013 Newsletter released

Blair has crafted his January 2013 newsletter, and rather than esoteric ramblings, he lets us know about flaming dicks! And also some Tool stuff. For those who don’t feel like reading it (you should, it’s relatively short) he basically tells us there was a minor songwriting setback due to a Vespa injury, there should be several interviews with band members appearing in the press in the coming days (not sure… Read More »Tool January 2013 Newsletter released

Tool November 2012 Newsletter online

It’s a sunny day in Adelaide today, and for fans that like short and to the point newsletters, today should also be a sunny one for them. Blair’s November Tool newsletter is now available on Toolband, and for those that often type tl:dr here are the highlights: Adam is in England, Maynard is doing stuff with other bands, and Danny & Justin are/were in Hawaii Not much writing in the… Read More »Tool November 2012 Newsletter online

October 2012 Tool Newsletter published

Blair has published his October 2012 Tool Newsletter. His usual dense prose seems to largely cover Justin’s recent escapades in Houston, and not a whole bunch of Tool specific info (or any from my quick read). Only thing of interest I can find for Tool fans is the line “By the way, whatever happened to your friends playing those big shows in South America in the Fall?” Good question. My… Read More »October 2012 Tool Newsletter published

New Album update (of sorts)

I did my usual Toolarmy visit this morning, and noticed Blair had posted an update, which alludes to some progress on the new Tool album (and tacos): I went over to the loft a couple of days ago to find Danny in great spirits about the week’s writing sessions. Things went so well, in fact, that Tool’s drummer funded a 12-pack of crunchy tacos from Taco Bell for Thursday’s band… Read More »New Album update (of sorts)

Tool August 2012 Newsletter out now!

The August Tool 2012 Newsletter is up on Toolband and this month Blair talks about entymology and some kind of secret band meeting. Anyone care to speculate what the meeting was about? Recording? Live DVD? The Pot video?

Tool July 2012 Newsletter

This morning I logged into Toolband to discover that the July 2012 Tool newsletter has been released. I haven’t had a chance to read it right through, but it’s the fourth and final part of the Tales From The Loft series, presumably covering the time when 10,000 Days was recorded. Check it out!
