More Smoke On The Horizon…

Adam has posted another photo with the tag #SmokeOnTheHorizon this time a shot of all four members of Tool in the newly refurbished Loft. Presumably they’re listing to some material for the new album, and Maynard is either starting his lyrical process, or is listening to the progress so far. It’s hard to get too excited considering all the delays we’ve had, but it finally looks as though we have… Read More »More Smoke On The Horizon…

Tool September Newsletter

Blair posted the Tool Newsletter for the month of September. Not really much to report except that Danny & Justin have been fishing, and that perhaps I should too. As much as I love the great outdoors, there is no time for fishing, as I have a Tool Top 10 to complete!

Justin was interviewed by Rolling Stones Robyn Doreian during the recent interview frenzy, and it’s just appeared on the shelves this month. Here’s a snippet: “It’s never taken us this long,” he says. “If it’s not happening, then it’s just not happening. We will not put out something we are not satisfied with.

Adam & Justin speak with Fasterlouder

Adam and Justin recently had a chat with Australian site Fasterlouder and answered some questions about a range of topics, including this: Back when you started working on Lateralus Maynard was still busy with A Perfect Circle so you guys started working on the music without him and I was wondering whether you’ve ever been tempted to become an instrumental band? AJ: People have different styles of working. It’s like… Read More »Adam & Justin speak with Fasterlouder
