Just a quick message (I’m a little pressed for time right now) to let you guys know that the November 2011 Tool Newsletter is now up on Toolband, and it seems to talk about some form of recording with Joe Barresi and speculates a little on a winter tour.
Take a read and let us know what you think!
Children of Saturn is a radio show run by Rynne (Danny’s girlfriend) every Monday night (US time) or Tuesday morning (11am AEST) and features a range of special guests and cool tunes. This weeks show, which starts in a couple of hours features Evil Joe Barresi, who you may recall worked with Tool on 10,000 Days.
While I have no idea what he’s going to talk about tonight, there’s a good chance he might talk about his experiences with our favorite band, and perhaps field a few questions from the chat room. That and play some kick ass songs! Details on the radio stream and access to the official chat room can be found here.
Christophe from Salival.fr emailed me today to let me know he’s just posted an interview he did with Joe Barresi regarding the recording of 10,000 Days. Nothing groundbreaking in the interview, but a good read none the less:
You’re said to be more focused on guitars, and first Danny Carey was even a little worried (tough he told he got the best sound with you). How did you manage with all his acoustic and electronic percussions ?
It was a challenge, but a great drum room, great drum techs and drums, and some time to experiment… That and a great drummer made life easy for me. He makes the drums sound good, so it wasn’t hard to capture his power and intensity.
