These items will include… Read More »March Tool Newsletter, Other Stuff!
Update: It’s come to my attention that I’ve posted this already. It’s worth watching again anyway for good measure… Aaron Harris tweeted today that he found a series of videos about Danny, recorded sometime around 1996/97. I haven’t had a chance to watch it yet (work has banned Youtube!) but I hear it’s worth watching! Here’s part 1: And Part 2, Part 3 and Part 4… Speaking of Twitter, Maynard… Read More »Another Danny Carey “Documentary”, APC dates coming soon!
In a post today Blair tells us that Danny is tonight’s guest at the Monday Night Jammmz at the Baked Potato. Sound cool for those of us in LA, but the highlighted bit below may be of more interest to most: DANNY will be performing double duty on this last day in February, first working on new musical arrangements with TOOL and then being the guest drummer at tonight’s MONDAY… Read More »Danny baking potatoes
Danny & Justin had another chat with Aussie radio station Triple J the other day, and had the following to say about the upcoming Tool album: Chatting with Rosie on triple j, band mates Danny Carey and Justin Chancellor were typically cagey when it came to Tool’s first planned release in 5 years. Even joking that the follow up album to 2006’s 10,000 days should be called “50,000 days”. However,… Read More »Tool talk new album on JJJ
I was forwarded and interview this morning with Danny in the latest edition of Beat magazine. Beat is a street press type magazine from Victoria, and had the chance to speak with Danny in a brief interview. Here’s a slab: Jambi takes me back to that uncomfortable memory that greeted you at the door of this interview, but Danny mentions it for a good reason: that song’s three divided rhythms… Read More »Danny on the Beat
According to a recent post by Blair on Toolband, he and Danny will both be on the Children of Saturn radio show next week on the 10th of January. As a UFO nut, I will certainly be tuning in to hear their take on Area 51 and such, as well as some cool tunes I bet…
Proving once more that exciting things happen when I go away – it appears that Danny jumps up on stage with Faith No More at their recent gig in LA. Tool bad he didn’t get behind the drumkit: Two of my favourite bands united – I wonder if Tool and Faith No More would ever really tour together… In other news: Blood Into Wine is on Netflix (everyone can stop… Read More »Danny makes Patton look short
I read a post on the Big Day Out site directing us to an interview with Reverb, a local Australian magazine with Danny & Adam about the upcoming tour. It’s quite interesting and worth a quick read. Check it out here. Also in the news is that Danny will be appearing on the Children of Saturn radio show, conveniently hosted by Rynne. According to Blair‘s Toolband post: DANNY will be… Read More »Tool in Reverb, Danny chats to Rynne

There’s an excellent interview with Danny on Aussie site Faster Louder this morning. He talks about preparations for the tour and touches on the new album as well: What can we expect from this Tool show that differs from the band’s previous Big Day Out appearance in 2007? Definitely different lighting features, props and visual delights I guess! Not a lot of new music but we’ll try to mix it… Read More »Danny speaks with Faster Louder
