Kanaduh has delivered more love for us, this time in the form or a recording of the recent San Francisco Adam Jones VIP Q&A session. For your enjoyment: Update: Clip has been removed at the bands request. Note that due to Nine Inch Nails and Queens Of The Stone Age commitments I haven’t listened to this yet!
One of our Fourtheye (and Toolnavy) regulars Kanaduh managed to smuggle a recording device into a recent Tool sound check, and he managed to capture the band jamming something a little new, as well as a few older classics. Enjoy! (Needless to say it’s a little spoilerish if you haven’t already heard them this tour) Update: Clip has been removed at the bands request.
