Danny Drum Clinic & Maynard Winemaking Videos

A few videos have come over my desk the last few days, and I’m finally getting around to posting them.

The first are a range of videos from the recent Danny Carey, Aloke Dutto, Terry Bozzio drum clinic in Kansas.  There’s a stack of them out there, but here’s the best I found:

There’s also a video Maynard talking about his winery and the viability of the industry in Northern Arizona.

The Pot video coming soon…

Ganjalf contacted me today and told me that according to the recent Guitar World interview:

Jones: We’re working on “The Pot,” but i’ve been really lazy lately. The setup for it is a lot more epic, so it’s actually good that we’ve been able to have more time. It’s going to be all stop-motion and in 3D. We’re doing that so we can hopefully have it show in the theater.

Not sure how he actually got this info, since the magazine hasn’t been released yet.  Will confirm this once I am able to read a copy of the interview myself.

MJK on New Tool Video and Album

Brian emailed me this quote today, apparently taken from a new interview with Maynard in Revolver:

Adam is working on a new video at the moment. I can’t say for what song. When that winds down, we’re gonna try to get back in the writing space. When we’ve actually picked an engineer you’ll have an idea that there might be a record coming someday.

Any speculation on what video is forthcoming?  I’ve heard that The Pot is the likely candidate, but it would be cool so see something for one of their longer songs – perhaps Lost Keys/Rosentta Stoned?

Snippets

A couple of things have passed my desk today.

Firstly there are a couple of new articles up on Toolband, on talking about Blair and Danny‘s trip to Maynard‘s vineyard.  Apparently this will be the covered in more detail in the next newsletter.  Blair also tells the tale of Danny losing $400 in a ATM recently after being asked for an autograph.  Oh the stories we hear when there is no real Tool news!

Secondly SOTRAB tells me that Danny‘s website will be updated soon, and mentions that “it is all in 3d and is absolutely amazing…. the fans are going to love it!”.  No idea this will happen but apparently soon….

Finally a new Notes from the Crew post on Toolarmy has been made, this time referring to work being done, snow thawing in May in Vermont and other stuff such as “Junior and I did a lot of hard, brutal work this summer for a band that for matters related to confidentiality contracts will go un-named at this time.”  What this all means I don’t know, but some people have been speculating that some kind of Tool video is being made, possibly for Rosetta Stoned. All will be revealed in time I guess…
