Last weeks poll asked what was your favorite Mike Patton project? Personally I’m a Tomahawk fan, but it came as no surprise to me to see that Faith No More won the poll. Faith No More were pretty much a defining band for me as a teenager. Without them, and particularly Angel Dust I probably would never got into Heavy Music at all, and would be stuck in the purgatory… Read More »Poll Results: Favorite Mike Patton Project?
According to Toolband.hu, it looks like Tool will be playing with Napalm Death on the Sziget Festival in Budapest in August. Hi to all our Hungarian readers! Thanks to Att for the tip Oh, and for those of you that haven’t worked it out yet, the latest post regarding Danny’s injury on Toolshed is an April Fools joke.

We had the building inspector come in to check out our house the other day (for those that are interested, it has been sold and we’ll be back in Adelaide shortly). While examining the study, the inspector noticed my various Tool items hung up on the… Read More »Hellboy new guitarist for Tool?
Since rumours of an upcoming Peeping Tom tour are being bandied around at the moment, I thought now might be a good chance to ask – what is your favorite Mike Patton project?
Last week I asked if you guys were musical in anyway, and it turns out that most of you have dabbled in music at some time or another. Most of you seemed to be guitar players, but there was a pretty even spread amonst the rest. Personally I picked Bass guitar, though I also play the 6-string and did many years of piano playing when I was younger. Here are… Read More »Roll Results: Are You Musical?
It’s been a pretty slow news week, so I thought I might share this article submitted by Andrew that talks about how Heavy Metal is seen as comfort music for bright children: “There is a perception of gifted and talented students as being into classical music and spending a lot of time reading. I think that is an inaccurate stereotype. There is literature that links heavy metal to poor academic… Read More »Metal for nerds?
