There’s a brief interview with Adam on the Baltimore Sun website today. He talks about 10,000 Days but doesn’t reveal anything particularly new: [discussing the 10,000 Days packaging] “That was my idea,” says Jones, who last week was playing a date with the band in Tampa, Fla. “All the ideas start with writing the music, and it flows with the art. … I saw a kid’s book that was similar… Read More »Adam on Baltimore Sun
According to Top40-charts.com Maynard has begun recording vocals for Puscifer at the Ardent Studios in Memphis with engineer Matt Mitchell. Maynard dropped in while Tool where in town recently. More information can also be found at the Ardent Studios website, including a picture of Maynard complete with his(?) dog.
A couple of things today. Firstly those hot spunks at the Tool Hotline tell me that there’s a Puscifer Street Team which you can join at www.teampuscifer.com. Anyone can join, and who knows what you might get out of it (apart from lots of spam). Warning: I have no idea if this site is really owned by Maynard or just some prankster, so don’t go putting your work email into… Read More »Team Puscifer, Volto, Newsletter

I found a new Danny Carey interview today, this time on the Broward-Palm Beach New Times website. Nothing particularly exciting though. Danny bangs on about the artistic side of Tool and doesn’t really give us any new insight at all. Still worth reading if you’re a die-hard…..

If found this Justin Chancellor interview today on nwlanews.com. Posted a couple of weeks ago, Justin talks about touring, life with Tool as well as the future. Definitely worth a read, and from the sounds of it it would appear the bell isn’t tolling just yet….. the future of tool: JC: We really don’t know. We’re guessing we’ll probably be done around January or February next year and at that… Read More »Justin talks about the future of Tool
