I hear this being constantly debated on Toolarmy and Toolnavy, so let’s decide once and for all! Is it cool to show your support for the band at their gig’s by wearing one of their shirts?
10,000 Days would appear to be full of secrets (apparently) and last week I asked what your favorite was. It comes as no surprise to me that most of you think there isn’t a secret. And I am a little surprised at how many of you are waiting for the “real” album to be released, or maybe lots of you think it’s funny that there was ever talk of a… Read More »Poll Results: What is your favorite 10,000 Days secret?
Foamy tells me that Adam will be appearing in the September issue of Guitar World where he talks about “His sound, his technique and his links to the occult”. Foamy also mentioned that there’s a scan of the Justin interview in Bass Player magazine up on ToolTabs.net Given the recent run of interviews, will we see Danny in a drumming magazine soon too?

This week I ask what is your favorite 10,000 Days secret? Do you dig the various synchronisations? Did you find the clues in the pictures? Anything else I may have missed?

Daniel emailed me today to tell me that Tool are featured in this months High Times. Apparently The Pot is honoured as the song of the year. Here’s an excerpt: In this ADD age, where sound bites and commercialism dominate the media.
