A conversation with Maynard James Keenan

Andrew McMillen from Australian magazine called Junior recently interviewed Maynard.   Maynard speaks a bout a range of issues including Tool, A Perfect Circle, Blood Into Wine and more.

It felt like Billy [Corgan] was rushing… Read More »A conversation with Maynard James Keenan

Second Sydney Big Day Out tickets “2 for 1”

It looks like the second Sydney Big Day Out isn’t selling as strongly as expected.  An announcement from Big Day Out organisers today tell us that all tickets for the event on the 27th of January can now be used to get an extra guest in for free: The Big Day Out has announced a very special Christmas gift for punters in Sydney – all ticket holders for the Sydney… Read More »Second Sydney Big Day Out tickets “2 for 1”

Big Day Out timetables released

The timetables for the 2011 Big Day Out has been released, and it looks like Tool are only getting 75 minutes this year, unlike 90 minutes that headliners get in previous years.  Not sure what’s up with that, but I imagine there’s plenty of disappointed Tool fans out there. Hopefully the sideshows many of us are going to have no such restriction…

As I posted a few days ago the December Newsletter was just released.  Now I’ve had a chance to read it, here’s… Read More »A Perfect Circle track recorded? Newsletter + Tool goodies on Ebay

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

Tool in Reverb, Danny chats to Rynne

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

Tool November 2010 Newsletter

Sometime over the weekend (not sure when as I was away caving) Blair posted the November Tool newsletter on Toolband.  Looks like an interesting read! Haha classic: Sounds like someone cracked a fat without a franger. Nice one Blair, that New Orleans gig sounds awesome too…

Magnus posted in the Fourtheye forum a list of five Youtube videos from a previously unreleased (at least I haven’t seen it!) documentary with Danny Carey.  Danny talks about a range of topics from his influences, to gear and touring.  There’s also plenty of soundcheck footage included as well some cool live footage.  Here’s part 1: Danny Carey Documentary And here’s the rest: Part 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1I1URFzUlM Part 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSoyNqSN4BY Part… Read More »Unseen Tool Documentary
