Sick of Tool interviews yet? I know I feel like I’ve spent all day reading and posting them. This one is from The Rock FM which is a New Zealand radio station. Tracy had a chat to Danny about a range of topics which you can listen to here. For those not willing/able to listen, here are the main points:
- Danny has recently done some recording with Jason Bonham and 12 other drummers for the upcoming Superman movie
- There is plenty of material recorded, and footage available for a live album/DVD. It’s not on the radar at the moment but will probably happen sometime in the future.
- They’re trying to concentrate on the new album for now, and Justin seems to be the main driving force behind this particular album
- Tool hoped to play in Christchurch as well, but a lack of a suitable venue not earthquake damaged was a problem.
- Danny still hopes they can release a new album this year
Interesting interview, it’s only 6:32 and is worth your time.
Totally with you Raven. Getting a couple interviews at one time is like Christmas in February for us. Kinda sad when this band gives you so little that interviews seem this exciting! Funny stuff.
I always like hearing from Danny. Seems like you either hear interviews from Danny or Maynard. Justin or Adam, not so much. I think we all know how most Maynard interviews go…he’s just not into them and comes off cold and doesn’t really elaborate too much. I can understand that though, always fielding the same type of questions would get old. However, when you hear from Danny, he always seems to give off good info. The quote about Justin being a driving force sounds great. The bass an drum elements are my favorite aspects to Tools music. C’mon…the bass lines… Read more »
Good to hear any news! Being a bass player and hearing justin is a driving force is really exciting. I always go back to 10KD to hear his amazing shit….but lately, ive been trippin’ on adams guitar…he’s a monster. Love it.
Danny has been pretty straight up ininterviews or rynnes radio show concerning tool news the last couple of years or so… if you havent learned by now Maynard is a douche (even calls himself that0 about any of that so i wouldnt worry about what he says. listen to Danny and you’ll be fine 🙂 Justin was pretty prominent on 10,000 days although i think thats their weakest album. not cause of Justin but it still feels like half an an album to me. if u get a chance to see Tool up close get in front of Justin, you’ll… Read more »
Posted under another feed about a week ago, but don’t think anyone saw it. Spin lists Tool under Most Anticipated Albums of 2013. That doesn’t set it in stone (more like “wet concrete” perhaps?), and it doesn’t give an album title, but it’s the most solid proof I’ve seen thus far.

@Mog. I’m not “flipping my shit” over interviews. But it’s cool to actually hear details about some of the songs they’re working on is all.
All that I can think about right now is the My Bloody Valentine album that was just released. It took 22 years for it to come out and it was amazing. Tool will probably take at least one more year to release this album, asking for anything sooner would be foolish and unrealistic. Why has nobody asked about a 10,000 Days vinyl release? It’s rare when bands record on analogue tape (like 10K Days was) and I find it a shame when these recordings aren’t pressed on vinyl. Nobody buys CDs anymore anyway, you can get the same sound quality… Read more »
hahaha mog called me a girl. belittling me like it would make me less intelligent if i was a female, which i’m not by the way. classy, mog, very classy.
The main issue that seems to divide most Tool fans with 10,000 Days is Wings. Some think it’s ‘boring’, some think it’s one of their best songs and even one of the greatest pieces of music ever written.
hellboy, i think he’s talking about when you said: “if you say so.” but i could be wrong. idk what the fuck he’s talking about TBH; he makes no sense
I like that 10KD is different. I would NOT want a repeat of any of their albums. The themes and lyrics have way more depth than it appears on the surface as well.
Right in Two is a good example. People reduce it to being a simplistic take on the woes of the world, but it can easily be interpreted in much cooler ways. So to put limitation on what you can get out of 10KD says to me you might just get hung up on earlier works and don’t like to adapt to an evolving band.
Danny Carey- never believe anything that comes out of this man’s mouth. Always lets you down. Still trying to figure out if it’s intentional or not. Five times in the past he has said this album would be releases in 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012. Now in 2013 he is hopeful! That’s reassuring… 🙂
Holy hell i cant believe my password still works for this site. Anyways, i for one am excited as hell for all this news, seems like when 10k days was warming up to be released all these same things began happening, coachella was announced, then on release day they played a show at the paramount in seattle. i believe the album is done, or near done. Mayjay and Danny like to say conflicting things to make everyone think otherwise, but when these aussie dates start i wouldnt be surprised if it gets released. I also believe that u.s. dates will… Read more »
