bms46and2 posted on Toolnavy today a link to an interview with Maynard on Asahi.com. It’s a pretty short one, and really doesn’t cover much we haven’t already heard before, but I’m sure some of you completists out there will want to read anyway. Here’s an excerpt: Maynard James Keenan, singer and lyricist with the U.S. heavy rock band Tool, has got a crush on Japan. “It’s my favorite place on… Read More »Maynard on Asahi.com
On this day 42 years ago, Adam Jones was born. Just as we did for Justin, this weeks poll will ask what song do you feel has Adam’s best performance. This weeks poll will allow you guys to add you own answers, though I’ve already added what I feel are the best tracks. Please check the list before adding yours since duplicates will be removed. Also, don’t bother adding “humorous”… Read More »Poll: What is Adam’s best performance?

A very reluctant sale and major sacrifice, I’m very sad to have to let this go. I’m… Read More »Prison Sex Doll on eBay

Using in Disgustipated I… Read More »Videos from the Undertow Sessions
I was having a look through the charts for the Australian Record Industry Association (ARIA) 2006 Album sales charts today, have a look at where Tool sat as far as sales were concerned last year. Tool’s 10,000 Days found itself in position 37. Bands selling more than Tool last year included Scissor Sisters (Ta Dah!), Red Hot Chilli Peppers (Stadium Arcadium) and The Killers (Sam’s Town). Some of the bands… Read More »Aria Charts 2006
