Tool Rage Playlist Up
For those of you contemplating staying up on Saturday night to watch Tool program Rage, here’s a link that may help. It’s the list of tracks Tool has programmed to show. Also being shown that night are all Tool and APC videos, as well as Ween by the looks of things, who, in case you didn’t know, are great!
Thanks to James for the link!
Coachella, Rage, Sunrise
There’s plenty of bits and pieces floating around regarding the recent Coachella show. A couple of guys at Toolnavy has posted some pictures of the show (though the one’s I’ve seen aren’t of great quality) and Distortion Online seems to have a few mp3s.
Just a reminder that Tool are appearing on Rage this weekend as guest programmers. The Rage website has a little preview video of Danny and Maynard hamming it up for you to enjoy. For those people who aren’t Australian, Rage allows guest to come in and pick a selection of videos, ususally around 30 or so. Rage isn’t televised over the net, but I know that several members are planning on recording the show.
Finally, just in case you are interested, 10,000 Days was mentioned and show briefly on Sunrise this morning by Molly Meldrum. Nothing exciting was said, more that both them and Pearl Jam have been released this weekend, and that it’ll be interesting to see who claims the #1 spot on the charts. My money is still on Tool…..
Snippets
Just a couple of little bits and pieces from the web the last couple of days:
- Some Signed Lateralus Vinyl is up on eBay at the moment. Price is up to US$355 right at the moment….
- Here’s a little interview with Maynard and Justin from the NZ Herald. Speaks of rumours of a tour in November, but apart from that isn’t much different from the last 50 or so articles. Thanks to xpandnz from Toolnavy for that.
- I’m going to update the Signed Lateralus Gallery later today…….
- Blair says that Kevin Willis and Camilla will be taking pics of Coachella, and other small shows and that they will be posted on Toolband/Army
- 10,000 Days was available in Rockhampton Saturday morning, much to my surprise….
- There are some reports of shortages around the place, but it seems more like some stores are running out, while others have plenty. Luckily mine is in the mail!
- Spiralysys tells me that he has a copy of the recent video interview with Danny and Maynard on MTV hosted on his site.
Spiralysis
Ben from Spiralysis tells me that he is hosting the recent Triple J interview with Danny and Maynard. Feel free to head to his website if you want to have a listen. He also has plenty of interesting videos of the band, and in particular Danny, so it’s well worth the visit.
I had a listen to the interview last night, and it was a good interview, though revealed nothing we haven’t already heard from the band. Readers who are holding out on listening to 10,000 Days may want to wait a while before checking out the interview, since it contains snippets of Jambi, Rosetta Stoned, Vicarious and The Pot.
Tool interview with Visions
Kabir Posts a Review of 10,000 Days
Owner of the semi-official Tool website TDN (tool.down.net) Kabir last night posted a vague thread at Tool Navy simply saying:
“so … i’ll have some more info about the album tonight.”
I’m sure most of you reading this were amongst the 500+ fans that were refreshing the site every few seconds desperate for some new information. The site went down after a few hours leaving us all in the lurch but when it came back Kabir told us it isn’t song lyrics, art work or a streaming version of Vicarious but a review of the album. So here it is:
Belew, Carey & Claypool
According to The Pulse:
Adrian Belew wraps up his conceptual trilogy in Side Three on the Sanctuary Records imprint, getting muddy and funky with guests Les Claypool of Primus, Danny Carey of Tool, and King Crimson bandmate, Robert Fripp.
In never really heard much of Side One and Two, though I’ve been told they’re pretty good, and Danny drumming as usual is amazing.
Aphex0 on Toolarmy says it will be out on the 18th of April. Here are some details for you all
Tool at Coachella
Just a quickie….
Blair also writes that he spoke to Danny regarding the Coachella gig, and the Tool will be play at least some of the new CD there. Kinda gives me the impression that it’ll be more of the old show + a couple of new songs, rather than the “new” Tool experience, if indeed there is such a thing.
Oh and there was some crap about the Schism and Parabola Tool videos being shown at obscure Californian movie festivals. Eureka!
Alex Grey Comments, Butcher/Volto/Tool Live
In the recent CoSM Newsletter, it briefly talks about the 10,000 Days artwork. Nothing particularly new though:
Many fans have inquired regarding the album art TOOL has released on Amazon for pre-sale of the album. The cover is an adaptation of Alex Grey’s painting, Net of Being.
Blair on Toolband/Army posts today that Butcher played recently with some disturbing new artwork. He also mentions that Volto are playing in the near future, and that you should catch them now, as they may not be playing again for a while. They’re playing the Knitting Factory on March the 31st and then the La Ve Lee in April sometime. Danny will be too cought up in the machine called Tool to play more shows, so if you want to see them, see them now!
Speaking of Tool, they’re apparently getting ready for Coachella on April 30, and according to Blair “any other shows the might decide to do”…..
