Re: Random Tool Social Media thread

Maybe old news, but I don't remember seeing these on here, anyway. Two talk show appearances by Rory Scovel (Comedians Following Tool on Tour, the Tour). One recent (Kimmel) and one from last year (Conan) discussing that tour. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wHU64-W14OY https://www.youtube.com/watch...

Junior, here's hoping wampas (can I call you wampas?) is correct and you and everyone can start putting on shows and we and everyone can start going to them. Just got tickets to go see Judas Priest in Oct. Hope you and the boys have many more tours ahead. I would love to buy you a beer the next tim...

Canada has had a "basic math test" requirement for contest winners for quite some time. I'm not sure of the origin, but now I'm going to google it.

Oh, and Danny is playing gigs with the Doug Webb Group and Jamie Kime Group at the Baked Potato soon (May 22 and 27, respectively), and also in San Diego with Doug Webb at Queen Bee's on May 7.

You guys are all crazy. Lars is the best drummer of our lifetime. Did any of you seem play his rendition of Pneuma? Please enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AV1N_NJW-tE Kinda reminds me of some of the stuff I saw at the old Baked Potato Monday Night Jamz before they went to a sign-up list.

Re: Random Tool Social Media thread

they still put ''los angeles,,ca'' on the arm sleeve. My understanding (when that started) was that it was some form of bootleg counter-measure to prove it's official merch. Bootleggers won't spend the money/time needed to print something on the sleeve. I heard that somewhere. I don't know if that'...

A guy I went to college with does work on that show. He's a motion designer, and it has something to do with "simulation backgrounds"... it's all Greek to me. It's pretty impressive tech. I'm sure someday it'll be as "quaint" as every new technology eventually becomes, but for n...

That is good to read, Junior. Did they film in the states? I have read that a few shows (Name that Tune is one I can think of ) actually went to Australia so they could film with crowds. It was done in Hollywood. I think they might be re-using audience shots from a previous season. I never went ove...

Yeah. There are some scorchers on that show. There's no singing on the stage I work on, though, so we're spared of it.

Maybe they will need to turn the volume up a little for Danny now. who knows. I don't know if that's possible. Have you had a look at his drum monitors? He's already got a personal PA that would be suitable for a club or small theatre. When Showco (from Dallas) was the sound company, they used to c...

It does quite well in the US, as well. I think there are localized versions in a number of countries, but it started in South Korea.
