King Buzzo from the Melvins has recorded another interview/guitar lesson with MetalKult. As usual it’s a great interview, especially if you dig Buzz’s sense of humour. He also dishes out advice on how to play Houdini tracks Honeybucket and Hooch. Rumour has it on the Melvins BBS that The Melvins could be touring with Down in the US later this year.

isdfx from Toolarmy pointed me towards an interesting interview with Lustmord on All Things That Rock. Here’s an excerpt: (Lustmord) Adam Jones is another good example of not so much the instruments he plays, but the person himself and the attitude and the aesthetic he brings to it. We had talked about him maybe not using a guitar because he makes great electronic music and really interesting experimental work outside… Read More »Lustmord discusses Tool, Melvins
dpddy on Toolarmy came across this cool gig poster by Adam Jones. It’s for the upcoming Faith No More show in Moscow later this year. Word is that Adam has also designed a poster for a coming Isis gig.
Posted on Toolband/Army today is a quick article talking about a new Sci-Fi movie from Matthew Santoro called Offline. The movie, as well as looking pretty cool apparently takes some influence from Adam Jones: My goal was to make a dark and gritty sci-fi/horror based cybernetic dream experience type thing with a couple of good friends, a camera, some duct tape, and a computer. Pure Gorilla as they call it.… Read More »Offline by Matthew Santoro
A couple of readers emailed me to let me know that A Perfect Circle will be appearing on Guitar Hero 5. Details of this news and other bands announced can be found at Rolling Stone. No word on what track will appear, but I’d put my money on it being Judith. A couple of tour changes were announced on Toolband today. Firstly the Atlanta show which appeared to have a… Read More »APC on Guitar Hero 5, Atlanta change
I’ve just finished listening to a brief interview with Aaron Turner from Isis, recorded by Andrew Haug for Triple J’s The Racket program (presumably what Three Hours Of Hour/Full Metal Racket is now called). Was a short interview, doesn’t really reveal a massive amount we don’t know, but he does discuss how Adam came to be involved in the record. It appears it mainly happened because Adam and Aaron Harris… Read More »Isis interview on Triple J
Adam has designed one of the posters for a series of gigs by the Melvins this year celebrating their 25th anniversary. My understanding is that these posters may be available for sale at these shows. Other posters have been designed by the likes of Jeff Ament from Pearl Jam. The 25th Anniversary shows are: May 15, 2009 – New York, NY – Webster Hall May 16, 2009 – Boston, MA… Read More »Adam Jones designs Melvins poster
Here’s some dodgy Youtube video of Maynard giving an award to Isis at the recent Golden Gods Awards:
I’ve been away for a few days, and have missed out on several little bits and pieces of Tool related news. No tour news though, which is what people really want! Firstly, Maynard appears in the new movie Crank 2, which also features Danny Lohner, Mike Patton doing the soundtrack, and some dude from Linkin Park. Thanks to Ziggy and AZB for the tips. In another movie related item, apparently… Read More »News Catch-Up!
