It’s a bit of a strange topic for an interview, but Rolling Stone spoke with Adam Jones recently about his love for Wrestling, and we get a very minor hint towards the new Tool album: Will you be attending WrestleMania 32 next month?

The February 2016 Tool newsletter is out, and it briefly discusses progress on the seemingly never-ending songwriting saga. Ultimately there isn’t much to report, but I’m sure there’s a few tidbits here and there for peopel to dig into. Also, there is a cool bug mask based on the posters from the recent tour: While Adam’s latest bleeding bugs didn’t go unnoticed by me, a recent photo taken at the… Read More »Tool February 2016 Newsletter

Blair has posted the Tool December 2015 Newsletter today, no doubt filling your hearts with much Xmas cheer, or humbugs depending on your life view. It doesn’t appear to contain much Tool news, but I’ll leave this part with you: Oh, I almost forgot the encrypted holiday message: aaAaavvllll(rrrrrgeeeeeeeeeennndddoooocctttwiihhh)uussd.dj5yybmb And don’t think it says: “All evergreen decorations (wreaths included) should be removed by January 5th.” Speaking of Xmas – don’t… Read More »Tool December 2015 Newsletter released
