A new post on Toolband/Army tells us that Tool will be touring later this year, but it won’t be in Australia: Although no dates are officially confirmed at this point, it appears that TOOL will be touring the WEST COAST of the USA from mid-NOVEMBER until X-MAS. As soon as these shows are confirmed, I will post the dates and venues on the websites. No word on if that tour… Read More »Tool tour West Coast USA
It seems to be a regular event at the moment – another day, another Puscifer Teaser. This time it appears to be taken from the printing factory where the albums artwork is being done. Thanks to The Tool Hotline for the tip.
Blair sends word via Toolband/Army that there is a Detroit Red Wings Jersey up for auction which features autographs from all four members of Tool. The Jersey has been donated to help the Helping From Heaven foundation, which appears to help out special kids. Current bids put it at over US$350, but if you’re loaded then I’m sure it’d be worth more. Check it out here.
Dan tells me that Ticketmaster have removed the Tool dates for the Nokia Center in October from their website. Were they ever real in the first place? Is this a vast conspiracy? Time will tell….. Update: A couple of posts from Blair on Toolarmy indicate that he knows nothing about these shows either. How or why they appeared on Ticketmaster’s site is anyones guess.
Blair has posted a new newsletter including a gigantic scan of a baseball card on Toolband/Army. Those who don’t like Blair’s usual ramblings should give it a miss.
Looks like the rumours of Tool playing the Nokia Theatre in LA over Halloween (31st of October and the 1st of November) are true. Ticketmaster’s website says tickets go on sale on this Saturday. No word on if these are special shows in anyway, or if they’re part of another tour, but I’m sure Blair will give us the gist of it later this week.

A very brief interview with Maynard has appeared on the NRK Nett-tv website, where he talks about why Tool don’t like having their live shows filmed. May also indicate why they’re in no hurry to release a Live DVD.
While we wait an eternity for the Vicarious and The Pot videos, it seems that a bloke called Robert Morgan has taken ip upon himself to create a video for Jambi. Now I think we’ve all seen various fan made videos on Youtube before, and they can greatly vary in quality, but this one is the best I’ve seen in a long time. Enjoy! Thanks to miatreya on Toolarmy for… Read More »Jambi Video
Last week Dragonforce’s Herman Li playing with Tool during Lateralus during the August 22nd show at the Brixton Academy. According to Blabbermouth, he had the following to say about Tool: TOOL‘s a unique band. It was fun to enter their world and improvise something to their style of music in front of their big audience. I wonder who else Tool will get to join them on stage before the tour… Read More »Herman Li on Tool
It looks like I should have added the option “Nothing” because that’s pretty much what happened! Tool appear to be touring Europe with little regard for the rest of the worlds desire for news! Hopefully we’ll get something to chew on soon. In the mean time here’s the results, and steel yourselves for the next poll!
