I’m guessing this comment is a little tongue in cheek, but according to news.com.au AT least he’s honest. Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan didn’t try to hide his motivation for coming to Australia when Insider caught up with him last week. Asked what had enticed the band to sign up for the Big Day Out, Keenan was quick to answer. “The money,” he said. “We like playing shows, there’s no… Read More »In it for the money?
According to Blair, it seems that there were pre-sales for the recently announced US Dates, and that some members of Toolarmy decided it would be a good idea to release this password. Rather than sharing the love, it seems that this has resulted in scalpers purchasing these pre-sale tickets instead. I’m sure these members were trying to do the right thing, but it looks like it’s backfired on them. Allegedly… Read More »Pre-sales Spoiled?

This picture of Justin, Maynard and Danny with Serena Williams was posted on Toolband/Army today. Looks like Tool are either tennis fans, or Serena is a Tool fan. Congratulations to the champ!
It’s been a few days now since I saw Tool twice in Sydney, and this article is a review of not only the Tool shows, but of my whole trip in general. Of course I’m not going to bore you with too many trivial details, this will mainly be about Tool, but I’ll also be talking about the Big Day Out in general, and also my brief trip to the… Read More »Sydney 2007
Those of us with fully sick cars have for a while felt that while 4-inch exhausts and nitrous boosters are great, they just aren’t good enough. Well now you can fulfill all your dreams with these Tool decals. According to the sale blurb, these decals are 20cm long and use the same materials as decals on race cars. Only $5 each too. I hope they’ve got good lawyers, since I… Read More »Pimp Your Ride

The wait is almost over. Tomorrow morning I catch a plane to Sydney to catch Tool live in action at the Entertainment Centre, and then the next day at the Big Day Out. I doubt I’ll be posting again until after the show, and possible not at all for a few days if I can’t get and internet connection. Rest assured though that when I do get back I will… Read More »The time has come
I found this short interview with Justin today on Time-Off today. It’s not particularly long, but it does have a few interesting points: TO: Does the band choose which support acts it plays with? JC: “Yes, we completely decide that. It just comes down to what we’re into, and obviously everyone has different ideas about that  –  everyone’s got a different current thing that they love. So we just sort… Read More »Time Off interviews Justin
