In Due Time

Here is an update from Blair (Tool's website operator) on TOOL's current happenings in this quiet downtime... I don't know about you, but they are my absolute all time favorite band, and I can't wait to hear something new!

"Although I really don't have any specific information at this point (just snatches of conversation heard now and then), if the past is any indication of how things work in the Tool World, this is about the time when members of the band start getting really serious about composing new music that they will eventually (hopefully) record. As for any TOOL tour plans in 2009, despite all the rumors on the internet and elsewhere, as far as I know nothing has been decided yet. With this said, certainly anything's possible come the spring, summer and fall (winter, too). Although you are free to speculate all you want, I would ask that you please do not read more into this than I've just stated. To repeat: in the past it was shortly after the holiday season that the band members began writing in earnest for a new record, and, as far as I know, nothing has been decided as of yet with regards to any possible Tool tour in 2009...

TOOL WEBSITE NEWS?

One thing that has been discussed for quite some time is to give a bit of a face-lift to the Tool websites (Danny's site as well). This is something that I certainly hope happens in 2009, and the sooner the better, but for now we'll just have to wait and see what transpires over the next month or so...

MEMBERS OF TOOL

Possibly at least one member of TOOL will be guest performing on the new ISIS album (recorded by "Evil" JOE BARESI). More details later...

PUSCIFER

Everyone knows that MAYNARD's band PUSCIFER added a third show at THE PEARL in Las Vegas on SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 15th, right?..

VOLTO!

DANNY, John, Kirk, and Lance will be performing at THE BAKED POTATO on THURSDAY, JANUARY 15, and possibly also doing a show in ANAHEIM during the NAMM CONVENTION. There also should be one helluva MONDAY NIGHT NAMM JAMM (both on the 12th and 19th) with all those out of town musicians visiting the L.A. area.
