“Lists”, Hungarian Tool Fans

Blair has posted on the TA boards a response to peoples questions regarding the Tool Set-List.  As usual, it’s not a straight answer: E-MAIL ABOUT THIS “LIST” THING I must admit that I’m completely baffled by recent e-mails from some Tool enthusiasts over in Europe (and here in the U.S. as well) whining and complaining about the band having the same guest list every night. This is just plain ridiculous.… Read More »“Lists”, Hungarian Tool Fans

Tool Live Production Details

Kassel on Toolarmy has posted a link to an article which gives us some more insight into Tool‘s video and lighting show, as well as some of the logistics behind it: It’s hard to explain the depth of what goes into the production at a Tool concert to somebody who is not in our industry. Much like their music, the production is intelligent and progressive—the interplay of video and lighting… Read More »Tool Live Production Details

By the last third of the solo I turned on Adam’s delay setting and played some really high notes that felt like the top of… Read More »Kirk talks about playing with Tool

Stuff

A few snippets of info the last couple of days. CorpseGrindeR (who’s definitely NOT Gay) on Toolarmy posted a few links to some nice Tool photos yesterday. No idea who took them, but they appear to have been taken by someone in the crowd at the recent Tempe show. Dial-up users take not, they’re big pictures! http://img464.imageshack.us/img464/7151/adammaynardtooltempe061sk.jpg http://img464.imageshack.us/img464/8374/aenimatooltempe064ah.jpg http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/738/toolclosetempe063hp.jpg http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/4311/lipancontooltempe068nd.jpg Toolband/Army has confirmed that Tool are playing the Street Scene… Read More »Stuff
