Roll Results: Are You Musical?
Last week I asked if you guys were musical in anyway, and it turns out that most of you have dabbled in music at some time or another. Most of you seemed to be guitar players, but there was a pretty even spread amonst the rest. Personally I picked Bass guitar, though I also play the 6-string and did many years of piano playing when I was younger. Here are… Read More »Roll Results: Are You Musical?
Metal for nerds?
It’s been a pretty slow news week, so I thought I might share this article submitted by Andrew that talks about how Heavy Metal is seen as comfort music for bright children: “There is a perception of gifted and talented students as being into classical music and spending a lot of time reading. I think that is an inaccurate stereotype. There is literature that links heavy metal to poor academic… Read More »Metal for nerds?

New Poll: Are you musical?
This week, another non-Tool question, but at least it’s music related. I ask what musical skills do you have? if you play more than one instrument, select the one you feel you are best at.
Poll Results: Do you believe in aliens?
This week I decided to ask a non-Tool question – do you believe in aliens? The general consensus seems to be yes, and generally they live nowhere near us. That’s pretty much my view as well. I tend to think that if they were near by, then we would have detected some signal by now. Still you never really know what’s happening out there….. They exist, but only in a… Read More »Poll Results: Do you believe in aliens?
Maynard on Suicide Girls
Maynard has been interviewed by Suicide Girls’ Daniel Epstein. A pretty interesting read, and also reveals something about the recent Big Day Out tour that may explain some alleged sub-par performances: DRE: How was touring with the Big Day Out festival in Australia? MK: It was good. I got a chance to taste some wines down there as well, but I had the flu which sucked because I couldn’t taste… Read More »Maynard on Suicide Girls

Weak and Powerless Alternate Version
Nicko on Alt.Music.Tool posted that Josh Freese’s Myspace now has an alternate version of A Perfect Circles Weak and Powerless.  Josh also talks about his work with the band: A PERFECT CIRCLE: APC has been my main priority on and off since 2000. When I say “on and off” I mean because (unlike most bands) we share a singer with another successful band. So after we do a record and… Read More »Weak and Powerless Alternate Version
