Ettan posted this interesting Youtube video the other day, which features Travis Shinn talking about the effort required to compose and shoot the liner note photos for Tool‘s 10,000 Days. Well worth your time if you have a few mionutes spare:
Danny was born waaaaaay back on May 10, 1961 (at least according to Wikipedia) and today, being the 52nd anniversary of his entry to this world, it is customary, at least on Fourtheye, to post a video of his finest work. Today’s video, is a version of Jambi from last weeks show in Adelaide. It features some nice work from Danny and his machinery. Those still waiting to see Tool… Read More »Happy Birthday Danny
Crow and Badkittygothgirl informed me this afternoon Danny appears to be using a new synth on the coming Tool tour: Update: Part 2 of the video has arrived and without further ado: From the video’s description: This is the Plan B Toolbox Modular Synthesizer, built for Danny Carey of Tool which will make it’s public debut with Tool on Saturday, April 27 at the Rod Laver Arena, Melbourne, Australia –… Read More »Danny to debut new synth at Australian shows
It’s Maynard’s birthday today, and in the time honoured Fourtheye tradition I shall post a video of him doing one of my favorite Tool songs. Happy Birthday Maynard – see you in a couple of weeks! Watch for the cool laser effect at around 6:25…

davidbowiedavidbowie from Reddit posted this video up from Youtube earlier today, which features a new jam with Danny, Larry Lalonde (Primus), Matt Stone (South Park) and Stewart Copeland (The Police). From what I understand the track is called Blotto Mondo and was recorded at Copeland’s house/studio. Danny contributes some percussion, including the triangle, in what is an interesting video:
Gene sent me a link to a new interview with Maynard this morning, where he talks about mainly Puscifer, as well as the state of the recording industry: “The illusion is gone,” Keenan says. “There’s no longer blank checkbooks. I remember playing a show ages ago, where Helmet got offered a [record deal worth a] million dollars. Oh, my God! A million dollars. Of course, all that did was make… Read More »Maynard discusses Puscifer and not Tool with Phoenix New Times
Seems as though Maynard is a fan of guns, presumably a requirement in the outlaw and vermin infested Arizona, however his silenced rifle seems a little excessive. Here’s a video of his shooting stuff that ziggy23 shared in the forums earlier today: Watch out Javelinas!
It’s Adam’s birthday in this part of the world, and as is tradition I shall post a Youtube video that contains some of his best work. The album 10,000 Days was pretty strong in regards to Adam’s guitar work, and while it’s easy to highlight Jambi as a defining solo, I actually think the solos in the 10,000 Days (Wings Part 2) track are the best on the album. Maynard… Read More »Happy Birthday Adam!
A while back I reported that Maynard would feature in a documentary about the band Ministry. Well, for our viewing pleasure one thoughtful Youtuber has uploaded Maynard’s interview from the file, where he succesfully talks for about 3 minutes while saying he doesn’t really know much about Ministry: You can grab a DVD of this movie from Amazon.
