There’s a new (and cryptic) post on Toolband today, which talks about the speculated Missoula show, but not the San Antonio one. I’m not really able to decipher any useful information from this, except that there may be more in the January Newsletter. There were rumours that there was a brief Pre-Sale for Toolarmy members, but at this stage I can’t really see anything to confirm this actually happened, or… Read More »Tool Pre-Sales?
Here’s several mini-updates for you, none of which are particularly exciting: Happy Birthday Adam and Sasha Danny & Rynne have a new dog Levi The Vicarious lyrics are up on Toolband/Army No update on possible Missoula or San Antonio dates as hinted to in the last newsletter. No news of Australian tour dates either for that matter, nor has then been any confirmation officially as to whether or not Tool will… Read More »Updates
As I write this post, we’ve had 185 responses to the Fourtheye Survey, which I’m pretty happy with. At this stage I’m planning on closing the survey when I get back from a trip I’m taking to the Blue Mountains this week. That’s to say I’ll be closing off submissions sometime on Tuesday the 15th of January. When closed, I’ll start compiling the information and release sections of it at… Read More »Fourtheye Survey closes soon!
Scarlettletterman from Toolarmy posted a Xmas present this morning – a bootleg of Jello Biafra and Tool performing Holiday in Cambodia. Enjoy!
Both the Tool Hotline and a couple of reviews on Toolnavy are saying that Maynard announced at the last Las Vegas show that it would be the last one for the 10,000 Days tour. Looks like we may not get another Tool tour down under after all, unless he was just talking about the US. On a brighter note, here’s another one of those posters courtesy of CP:
CorpsegrindeR sent in a picture of the signed Tool poster he picked up in San Francisco the other night: Let me know when you start getting sick of seeing these…
Brian sent me an email last night with a couple of links to some posters made available at the recent Tool show in LA. According to him, poster weren’t selling for $1000, but a mere $500. The $500 ones were snapped up pretty quick, and there were only 5 of them. Signed copies of the other poster was $80 and there were heaps of those. The first one has some… Read More »Tool Posters
According to Indacello, Jello Biafra joined Tool onstage last night in San Francisco for a version of Holiday in Cambodia. Guests joining Tool this tour during lateralus include Sebastian from Trans Am, Dale from The Melvins, Cody from Big Business, Tim Alexander from Primus and Aaron from Isis. Perhaps Tool should tour with The Mark of Cain while in Australia so John Stanier can join them on stage… According to… Read More »Holiday in San Francisco, 10000 DVDs?
Last week I asked a somewhat controversial question regarding Tool‘s set list. There are a lot of strong feels out there regarding Tool‘s recent tour habits, and a good percentage of Tool fans are dissappointed by the lack on change in their set list. Compared to the Lateralus tour, the 10,000 Days tour has been considerably more static, and generally shorter in set length. Personally, I’m not too bothered by… Read More »Poll Results: Does a repetitive setlist alter your view on Tool’s live performances?
It’s quite possibly too late now, but Toolband/Army informs us that TU (Pat Mastelotto and Trey Gunn from King Crimson) will be opening for Tool in Everett tonight. They’re also playing at the Portland show. They go on before Trans-am, so don’t get there late if you want to see them!
