Interesting choice of carpet.

You newbs missed out on the pre-concert Fourtheye BBQ/piss up next the Yarra. A good time was had by all! It was a great show. I got to meet the Jakob dudes back stage and they were all nice guys. Was cool to see Justin on stage in a ghillie suit! Mm... crawling over the stage. The only thing that ...

^ Cheers for this man. I was at that fucking show too, absolutely amazing. I wish I had a better view of the stage, but it was definitely an amazing show It's totally worth paying overs on ebay for a ticket in the stalls at the Meyer Music Bowl if you can't get a presale - I caught them twice there...

Jakob from NZ recently released 'Sines' - I was trawling through some local reviews and this one had a bit of info about how they met Jones and (eventually) opened for Tool. http://www.offthetracks.co.nz/jakob-whats-so-funny-about-injured-hands-dissolving-labels-and-eight-years-between-records/ I wa...

The recent sales of Salival are generating new turnover for content they were/are being sued for; they could be flogging these off to act intentionally litigious if they still need to prove their general liability insurance policy glove fits. Unlikely, but worth a thought. Also, the 'lenticular' stu...

Do you suppose Justin's mystic state of prolificacy 'on the new album' has waned somewhat since Danny declared it in March......2012?

At the Arizona VIP Q&A someone asked Jones about problem 8 which he gave a perplexed looked saying "what is that?, I don't know what he [Blair] is referencing too? yeah I don't know what that is" not verbatim but I'm sure pretty close. Then he went on talking about BMB for a little bi...

This post had me going..... so close, yet so far.

Twice, as far as I can tell.

I think we can all safely skip this one. The last cover The Nard was involved with was a catastrophe.

I think his 'Rocket Man' cover with Steven Drozd is pretty neat.

The pic BMB posted on TA of the 'lenticular key chains' loaded in the truck was taken on 30 June.

So the art was used in the 90's, the policy was taken out with AIM for 2002-2003 coverage, and the claim was made in 2005. Kinda weird. What's the deal with taking out an insurance policy to insure you for damages that you know are on their way? Doesn't seem like something the insurers would be queu...

Mm. Sylvia Massey was talking a bit of Tool not too long ago and publishing info/pics from Undertow days on her site.

I also took this on the way to Kazbegi last month... coincidence?

Allrightythen - let me try - It's about whether or not their general liability insurance policy (a common policy for businesses) covers what they've specifically been using the art for. The insurance companies involved say no, and want $ for time wasted going to court over it. Tool says yes, and wan...

I don't think they are lying. But why in late 2013 did may may say in the JRE interview that he was going to pick up a cd from the guys and start doing his thing? And they have one song near complete? What about that epic 25 min piece? This. Undecided if the article is worth speculating over, or co...

Submitting this a week past due date, in lieu of discussing The Baked Potato menu or who rubs onions on their grill.

Neat vid - good to have them all in one clip like that. Hadn't heard the T&L before; it almost seems necessary for a gig. I think you could submit to a critical audience a pretty decent argument that the new part of Opiate and the 4min jam surfacing in '12 will be somewhere around the mark this ...

Slightly OT but I still watch the Tuva sawblade/eye intro on the Lateralus '02 bootlegs - best intro ever.... wish it'd be released someday/somehow. Always thought it'll be on the DVD. I'd ask Jones about where it came from if I had a Q&A... or if I could weasel a copy. The video intermission on...

Posted by Jeff Harris on AH FB - seems DC invited him.

There's also a video on Armstrong's page taken behind DC during solo.

A while ago BMB was going on about that material slipping into some Eastern bloc record stores for no apparent reason... Bethlehem abortion clinic etc. Could've been created around Undertow.

Sylvia Massy: Hey Tool fans, I just uploaded a bunch of photos from the "Undertow" sessions for my new website: http://www.sylviamassy.com/tool/ I'll be working on this for months to come so keep checking back for more as I build the site! Looks like a bunch of screenshots from the 'tool ...

Russian Circles are awesome - they just released a single from Memorial on Soundcloud with Chelsea Wolfe vox - have a listen. She's hawt.

Paid $20 to see them last October in a warehouse in Hong Kong - epic gig - make the effort to see them if you can.

Ha, oxymoron

Nah. Fiona Apple is my favorite, well, anything and she looks the worst she ever has presently. Doesn't change a thing. I'd still give her the best two seconds of my life.

Shit. Traveling this week with only iOS devices. The vid requires Flash, so I'm SOL until I get back. If anybody has an alternate link (nothing on YT so far) please post. On the other hand, Big Sur and the Nor Cal coast are amazing as ever. Killer trip so far. It worked on my iPhone. I forgot how I...

This video is almost exactly the same as the one Joshua Davis took way back when he did that demo artwork and the current Toolband spash screen, which is now practically a decade old. It's the same song, same participants, same location, almost same length. Ugh. Did anyone at VIP bail Adam up about ...

Fairly disappointing answers, but to be expected I suppose.
