Here’s nice stereoscopic pic of Adam that appeared on his Twitter feed today: Photo was taken by Aaron Harris, former ISIS member, Melvins sound guy and part time drum tech for Danny, during the rehearsals for the Rivers Edge date. Update: I forgot there was a second one as well take mid-gig!
Blair has published the June Tool 2012 Newsletter, and it’s Part 3 in the Tales from the Loft series. As with the last few it’s quite an interesting read with a few things I didn’t know about the band such as this little trivia item: Up until this point, I hadn’t really listened to that much Tool, and was only familiar with the song “Opiate” and Undertow’s “Sober” – a… Read More »Tool June 2012 Newsletter released
The poster for the Tool Rivers Edge Festival show this weekend has been revealed on Toolband. Here you go! There’s a Tool Army exclusive pic of an autographed version for those of you registered there. No word on how much the posters are yet, but they will be found at the merch stalls at the venue.
The Rivers Edge Music Festival approaches, and they have finally released a schedule for the day, with Tool on stage at 8:45pm and playing for 1 hour and 15 minutes until 10:00pm. Presumably 10:00pm is some kind of noise curfew, and anything pre-8:45 is too light to do the stage show justice Either way, 75 minutes is about standard length for a headline set at a festival (here in Australia… Read More »Rivers Edge Music Festival Schedule
Blair has confirmed on Toolband that the arm posted by Adam on Twitter recently is in fact a Tool Production Still: TOOL PRODUCTION STILL In case you missed Adam’s recent twitter post, here’s a production still from a new TOOL PROJECT that should be out in the Fall. No word on what this project may be, I can speculate it is the rumoured video for The Pot, but at this… Read More »Tool Production Still
I normally don’t get too carried away posting everything that various members of Tool put on social media, but it’s been a slow day so I’m going to make an exception. A few hours ago Adam tweeted the photo blow, which would appear to be a severed arm. What is interesting to me is the “toolband.com” plastered all over it. Image from the rumoured The Pot video perhaps? Post your… Read More »Adam posts severed arm
Parabolateralus posted in the Fourtheye forums this morning links to three Tool webcasts recorded with Tool in the leadup to Salival, Lateralus and 10,000 Days. From memory these were recorded for Toolarmy members, and have since been lost in the ether (except for the 10,000 Days one, which is still there). Anyway, if you have a spare couple of hours free, and I know you do, then take a listen… Read More »Salival, Lateralus and 10,000 Days webcasts now available
Occasionally I get asked to help sell some rare Tool memorabilia, and last week I was approached Tool collector GNX to help sell a rare Undertow studio DAT. This Digital Audio Tape is one of three mastered recordings – one for the CD, one for the LP and one for cassette. This particular one is the cassette version. According to GNX it is the same recording as used on Undertow,… Read More »Rare Undertow Studio DAT silent auction
Blair has released the lastest Tool newsletter this morning, and it is part one of a series of newsletters outlining the history of Tool’s Loft. I haven’t had a chance to read yet, but I imagine it’s a good one for all you Tool nerds. Find it on Toolband and Toolarmy.
I got an email from my Galen today who is the webmaster at the excellent Tool trading site Collective Unconcious. He’s looking for some help with maintaining the collection that he hosts on his site: Due to the nuances of realities, http://www.collectiveunconscious.org/ is no longer trading or downloading Tool recordings. If the site were to discontinue updates it would not be what it set out to be back in the… Read More »The Collective Unconcious Needs You!
