Blair has posted the May 2015 Tool Newsletter for your reading pleasure. It’s one that is unlikely to win many fans amongst Blair’s critics, however may drop a few cryptic hints as to what Tool are up to these days. The most interesting part I got from it was: How about the rumors of the band playing some festival date, where they can finally unveil Junior’s drone-suspended lightning configuration? No…… Read More »Tool May 2015 Newsletter
Blair has released Tool‘s April 2015 Newsletter, and since I’m in a rush to get out the door this morning I haven’t had a chance to read it. At a quick glance though it looks like they played a gig somewhere…
Blair has revealed in this months Tool Newsletter that the Tool Loft is nearing the end of it’s recent refurbishments. It would appear that they have installed a toilet of the highest quality. Is this all a metaphor? It could be, either way, not much new news was revealed this month. Perhaps on April Fools day as a few fools have predicted! In an exclusive interview granted by Adam to… Read More »March Tool Newsletter describes new Loft dunny
Blair has posted the February 2015 Tool Newsletter, and it’s a pretty straight forward one, giving us some solid updates on where Tool are at, as well as some further clarification in the recent Motörhead issue: With regards to the chance meeting between members of Tool and their friends in Motorhead in the same recording facility – this had absolutely nothing to do with the preparation, recording, mixing or mastering!… Read More »February 2015 Tool Newsletter
Blair has published the Tool newsletter for November, and it’s in a Q&A format. Not a huge amount of Tool news, but there is a somewhat encouraging update on the song writing process: Seeing how there’s not much going on with the band this month – other than a continuation of the writing/arranging sessions at the Loft (with things progressing nicely, I should add) – I’ve decided to respond to… Read More »Tool November 2014 Newletter
Blair published the October 2014 Tool newsletter not long ago (after a short delay due to an overly “frightening” one being drafted earlier) in which he discusses Rance Q. Spartley and a cursed signed Tool drumhead. For those of you with little patience for Blair’s work, I urge you to not bother reading it and take your complaints elsewhere. There seems to be little if any Tool news (though Rance… Read More »Tool October 2014 Newsletter
Blair has posted his September Tool Newsletter, and it’s one huge advertisement of stuff we already know (coded messages excluded!). It covers: Danny & Puscifer publishing new websites Darklore selling new stuff Volto! playing a gig soon Some Tool tour posters are on sale in the store (some as cheap as $9.99) He also hints that Puscifer may play some shows. Not sure how serious that is, but expect much… Read More »Tool September Newsletter out now!
The Tool August 2014 Newslettertopolband has been published by Blair, and it has a couple of interesting points which, as usual, are open for interpretation. Firstly he talks about Tool fans misinterpreting some recent posts, including confusing the recent Sturgeon album release party with that of a new Tool album. I admit the thought did cross my mind, however I refrained from emailing Blair about this. He also mentions that… Read More »Tool August 2014 Newsletter published
Blair has posted the July Tool Newsletter on Toolband, and it’s one of those “snoozeletters” that many of you like to complain about! It seems to allude to Tool moving a bunch of material (including recordings and demo’s) from one location to another. Interestingly Blair specifically calls out some of the newsletter “haters”: Okay, that should be enough – forget about fusion jazz and fancy spuds for a moment. There… Read More »July 2014 Tool Snoozeletter released
Blair has posted the June 2014 Tool Newsletter on Toolband this morning, and it’s a reasonably short one. It doesn’t really hint at much, except for that Tool continue to work on new material: MERCURY RETROGRADE Be prepared for lots of problems as MERCURY GOES RETROGRADE UNTIL… JULY 1. So, if your cell phone call drops out in the canyon… If your order from the shopping bazaar is the wrong… Read More »Tool June 2014 Newsletter – Mercury Retrogade
