Article + Les

Blksun on Toolarmy sent me some scans of a recent Tool article in Classic Rock UK magazine.  Here’s some links for your enjoyment: https://www.fourtheye.net/images/cl-rock/toolscan1.jpg https://www.fourtheye.net/images/cl-rock/toolscan2.jpg https://www.fourtheye.net/images/cl-rock/toolscan3.jpg https://www.fourtheye.net/images/cl-rock/toolscan4.jpg https://www.fourtheye.net/images/cl-rock/toolscan5.jpg I also found a brief interview with Les Claypool, where he talks about his new solo album “Of Whales and Woe”, Primus recording next year and his desire to follow through with the Adrian Belew and Danny Carey project.  Hopefully this may… Read More »Article + Les

Luxemborg Pictures

Tape on Toolnavy posted a couple of links to galleries of pictures from the recent Luxemborg show.  Some great pics there, including my favorites:   http://gallery.rockhal.lu/tool?page=1 http://www.eldoradio.lu/events/eventpics/index.php?show=overview&tcategory_id=923

Danny speaks to Rhythm UK

Steve emailed me today with a couple of bits from a recent Rhythm UK magazine.  Steve says “It’s a good interview, typed out a couple excerpts, the article goes on to say that the drum tracks were recorded in a studio normally reserved for movie soundtracks, his new setup, the writing process and his influences.” Is there any song on 10,000 Days that was more interesting or challenging to play… Read More »Danny speaks to Rhythm UK

Justin in Bass Guitar

Slicknickshady on Toolnavy has come up with the goods again, and shares with us some snippets from a recent Justin Chancellor interview in Bass Guitar magazine.  Here’s my favorite grab: Chancellor’s sound begins with the active pickups in his four-string birds-eye maple and mahogany Wal bass, which he bought shortly after he joined Tool in 1995 for rehearsals that would lead to the compleation of Aenima. At the time, his… Read More »Justin in Bass Guitar

Korean Show, Volto

Blair makes a couple of posts on Toolband/Army to day, the first of which reveals that Tool will be playing at the Olympic Main Stadium in Seoul, Korea on the 15th of August. He also mentions that Danny will be playing with Volto on July the 20th at the Baked Potato in LA.

Justin in Guitarist Australia

Went down to the newsagent and as usual, picked up the latest copy of Guitarist Australia (just in case you’re wondering, the issue shown there is actually the last one, not the current one), and was pleasantly surprised to see and interview with Justin Chancellor inside.  The article’s not particularly long, maybe a page and a half, with a lot of filler.  After quickly skimming through it, it seemed the… Read More »Justin in Guitarist Australia

Tool – Paris – Nihil

Oliver tells me that the French band Nihil will be supporting Tool on their Paris show on the 28th of June.  The name rings a bell, but I can’t say I’ve ever heard any of their music.  Hope they’re good!

Stuff

A few snippets of info the last couple of days. CorpseGrindeR (who’s definitely NOT Gay) on Toolarmy posted a few links to some nice Tool photos yesterday. No idea who took them, but they appear to have been taken by someone in the crowd at the recent Tempe show. Dial-up users take not, they’re big pictures! http://img464.imageshack.us/img464/7151/adammaynardtooltempe061sk.jpg http://img464.imageshack.us/img464/8374/aenimatooltempe064ah.jpg http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/738/toolclosetempe063hp.jpg http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/4311/lipancontooltempe068nd.jpg Toolband/Army has confirmed that Tool are playing the Street Scene… Read More »Stuff

Street Scene 06

Apparently Tool are playing at the Street Scene Festival in San Diego on the 4th or 5th of August. Looks like Tool will be all over the place around then. San Diego early AUgust, Japan in the middle (plus Oz/NZ?) and then back to the US for their arena tour. Good way to build up the frequent flyer points I suppose! Other bands on the gig include Queens of the… Read More »Street Scene 06

Danny + Drums = Awesome

I was just trawling though Toolarmy and noticed that The Betterfly had posted a couple of Danny Carey pics I though you lot may appreciate. Look out for him in the June edition of Modern Drummer!
