Adam must have a few things to get off his chest at the moment as there is another interview with him, this time with Erin Broadly of LA Weekly. Once again it’s largely about is artwork rather than Tool. It also has this amusing anecdote: Adam Jones: Oh, absolutely. I’ve got a funny story for you. Tool was in Denver at Red Rocks and it was the second show we… Read More »Another interview with Adam
A new interview with Adam popped up today where he speaks with Rick Florino from Artist Direct. He talks about his art, his involvement in the recent X-Files comic and the idea of there being a Tool movie: If the Tool story were to be made into a movie, who would be the perfect director for it, other than yourself of course? (Adam) Wow, if it was made for TV,… Read More »Adam interviewed by Artist Direct

I just found out today from a couple of Fourtheye readers (thanks WormLord and gnjasmkr) that Adam is also involved with King Buzzo on producing some music for what I presume is a graphic novel called The “Y” Incision: We have decided to make our first book bigger, badder, and with more Cal McDonald! The first book will feature both "The ‘Y" Incision" and "Nocturnal Invasions" Cal McDonald stories written… Read More »Adam & The “Y” Incision
Just yesterday I was reading an article about a new X Files comic which happens to be a crossover with the 30 Days of Night series. Then this morning I had it pointed out to me by a couple of readers that Adam is actually involved in this. No details on what exactly he’s contributed, but I’m sure we’ll find out soon enough. Update: Looks like Adam is a co-writer,… Read More »Adam’s Comic, Justin’s Side Project & Happy Birthday’s
The February newsletter is now up on Toolband/Toolarmy and it’s a somewhat revealing one: Tool are in the process or writing new material., though Blair personally hasn’t heard any. Joe Baressi has, which suggests to me he’s probably going to engineer the album again. Adam has a new pedal he’s been playing around with, and this may or may not feature. Danny has some new percussion instruments, and they definitely… Read More »Tool February Newsletter

AcousticPhenomena emailed me today to let me know about and interesting snippet he found on Robert Fripp’s website: A fabbo lunch with Adam covering a wide range of common interests & experiencing, among which: the possibilities of continuing our album, begun in Los Angeles some 5-6 years ago; and go out speaking together. Should be an interesting album should it actually happen. This sounds promising, though I’m sure many would… Read More »Adam & Robert Fripp to continue recording
Not sure how long it’s been on the site, but the January Tool Newsletter is now available on Toolband and Toolarmy. It’s really just a bit of a recap of Tool-related news over the last couple of months, confirming that Tool aren’t doing much at the moment, and that Danny, Adam and Justin are all abroad (or have been) and that Maynard is busy with Puscifer and Caduceus stuff.
Hopefully this year is more fruitful than the last! Happy Birthday from everyone at Fourtheye!
