A peek into the process behind Tool shirts & posters

I've been talking to the guys at NomadLosAngeles this week - they're working around the clock to keep up with the supply of custom limited edition posters being sold on the current TOOL tour (as well as last year's posters).

Once things quiet down enough that they have some time to chat, take dirty pictures, and shoot filthy videos, we'll be chatting with them about all the stuff they're doing in conjunction with Tool.

You can check them out on Facebook as well as on Twitter, and over at their website.

We'll have more from behind the scenes next week!

Tool tour kicks off in New Orleans, we spoil the set list for you

And what I mean by spoiling the setlist is that I'm copying and pasting from the trusty Tool Navy show review forum, where reviews of the first two nights of the tour have been posted. Both nights featured the same set list, and despite naysaying from the official website, Wovenhand indeed performed as openers for Tool. So, without any further delay, here's what you might expect to see performed in the next couple of weeks:

Third Eye
Jambi
Stinkfist
Vicarious
Eon Blue Apocalypse
The Patient
Intolerance
Schism
46 & 2
Lateralus
Aenema


And if you've seen a show and want to add your own review, I encourage you to do so at Tool Navy. Over at Fourth Eye there photos of the merch that you should check out too, but be warned that if you want to come away with a shirt, bring at least $40.

The band could be considered a Christian band according to various articles and reviews. The lead songwriter David Eugene Edwards is known to be an avowed Christian. It's going to be interesting to see how the fans react to this band at the show. Maybe Tool will open with Opiate this tour?

Maynard James Keenan and A Perfect Circle guitarist/songwriter Billy Howerdel performed Bohemian Rhapsody at a recent Activision press-conference. They perform with a giant screen featuring Guitar Hero characters, a full choir, a band conductor, and lasers! The video is only the end of the song, but it is epic!
