According to the Summer Tour Report on USA Today Tool’s US tour this year was the 10th highest grossing tour. According to the report Tool played 37 shows, played to 342,000 people and had a Seats Filled rating of 88%. Congrats to the guys and I hope they’re enjoying their Cuban cigars lit by $100 notes.

According to Toolband/Army, the dates for the upcoming Tool shows in LA have been changed, and new details should be out soon. They also mention that there’s a new date in Tulsa, Oklahoma on the 19th of November, and there will be more dates to come. It would appear that the West Coast is anything west of the Appalachians.
Blair has posted on Toolarmy: In speaking with the band’s management a couple of days ago, unfortunately, it appears that there WON’T be any ToolArmy pre-sales offered for this brief tour (which is practically being put together on the fly). However, this DOESN’T mean that there won’t be any (TA) pre-sales (and a better system for implementing them) for any future Tool tours. I should add, though, at the same… Read More »No Pre-Sales, Things to come….

I was having a look though the Live Forum on Toolnavy today, and noticed a few Tool dates that people have found for the upcoming US West Coast Tour. I have no idea how legitimate these dates are, since there doesn’t appear to be much in the way of confirmation at the moment, so take these with a dose of salt. 16th November 2007, Toyota Center, Houston 17th November 2007,… Read More »Some US Dates
Last night I was in town and was taking a look through the magazine racks in Borders when I found the latest copy of Metal Edge magazine, the one containing the interview by Bryan Reeseman mentioned in yesterday’s post. Despite the outrageous markup on the magazine due to it being an import, I forked over my hard earned cash so i coudl share some of it with my Fourtheye readers. … Read More »Tool Opens Up – Metal Edge Interview
According to a post on Blabbermouth, there will be seven page Tool interview in the September issue of Metal Edge. It’s the longest interview in the Tool’s history, and celebrates it’s relaunch. The interviewer Bryan Reesman speaks to all four members about their own personal interests, and presumably Tool as well! Here’s an excerpt: Q: You don’t seem to mind if you rile up the media. Carey: A lot of… Read More »Tool interview in Metal Edge
There’s been much discussion of Tool‘s recently announced US West Coast tour on Fourtheye, and in particular what this means for the promised Australian and New Zealand tour. According to Cognizant: I was logging in today to see what had been heard about the place as my mate who does some work for the Events Centre here in Wellington (and has been keeping me in the loop) sent me an… Read More »Tool in Australia/NZ in March?
