A new article featuring Maynard and Tool Head of Security Todd Fox is in September’s issue of Black Belt Magazine. Â It features them both talking about their martial arts training, as well as techniques associated with security and crowd control at Tool shows. Thanks to Rick for the tip! Â
I’ve been away in Perth this week, so have been a bit slow with the news.

Also in the news is that Danny features on the new Collide album Two Headed Monster. Â Autographed posters (not by… Read More »Guitar Hero Pics, Collide
