In an article I stumbled across today, Charlie Santoro (father of Tool collaborator Matthew) speaks about being featured in Adam’s X-Files comic, as well as seeing Tool gig:

Santoro picked up multiple copies of the comic books as they were released.  Framed pages of the comic book where “Officer Santoro” is featured are hung in his Linden Circle home.  Several of the comic books’ pages were pinned up around the Quincy police station where he works.

“It’s incredible.  I’ve been to two heavy metal concerts and I’m the kind of guy who listens to Jewel!” Santoro said.

A short but interesting article!

August Updates

Here’s a bunch of news updates and things I’ve picked up of the last month but haven’t quite been motivated enough to create a new post for.

In case you missed it, Justin Chancellor will be appearing on a couple of tracks on the new Intronaut album Valley of Smoke.  The album will be released on the 12th of October so Rodney tells me.  No word on what Justin plays on but on track can be streamed on their Myspace site.

The X-Files/30 Days of Night issue #2 should be, or is very close to released now, and a review if can be found here.

Aaron Harris from Isis got married last weekend.  Several Tool members were in attendance so I heard, and according to Blair one of the wedding presents was a Danny Carey Signature Drum!  Congratulations to Aaron and Alexandra!

Maynard has a short interview in the latest issue of Relix Magazine, where he is featured in the Parting Shots section.  I haven’t read it but apparently the interview is largely about wine and doesn’t feature any real music news.  Thanks to Rick for that.

Adam’s Comic, Justin’s Side Project & Happy Birthday’s

Just yesterday I was reading an article about a new X Files comic which happens to be a crossover with the 30 Days of Night series.  Then this morning I had it pointed out to me by a couple of readers that Adam is actually involved in this.  No details on what exactly he’s contributed, but I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough.

Update: Looks like Adam is a co-writer, and some further details (including artwork which I presume isn’t Adam’s) can be found here.

There’s been talk of Justin being involved in a side project for a while now, and according to skum_fist this may be it.  The band in question is called M.T.void and would appear to be an experimental rock band.  More details and samples can be found there for those interested.

It seems as though I forgot to wish Maynard a happy birthday the other day, so here’s a belated one!  Today is also the birthday of everyone’s favorite lighting dude, as well as someone else pretty cool (no not Hitler).  Happy birthday Junior!
