Last weeks poll asked what is your favorite Primus album. Turns out that Primus suck, which will come as no surprise to the band. Aside from that, Frizzle Fry take the honours from Sailing the Seas of Cheese, with Pork Soda a close runner up. Seems as though their newer stuff didn’t do so well, though personally I quite liked the Brown Album. Here’s the results: Primus Suck! 66 Votes… Read More »Poll Results:What’s your favorite Primus album?
In a reasonably short article on UltimateGuitar.com, Troy Van Leeuwen talks about his time in A Perfect Circle, and the likelihood of them doing stuff again: I would say of course they’re different, but I have more experience working with Josh actually than with working with Maynard. With Maynard it was very short amounts of time working with him. I didn’t really per-se get in deep with him. He’d show… Read More »Troy Van Leeuwen talks about A Perfect Circle
There’s a new Maynard interview up on the MonitorThis website. There’s not really much there we haven’t heard before, so this one’s for completists only. Questions were apparently submitted by readers, which turned out to be the usual questions we’d expect to hear in interviews. Here’s a snippet for you: QWERTYUIOP: Is Blair actually Phillip Seymour Hoffman? MJK: Negative. He is an experimental textile factory by-product known as Arachno-Hypnol. One… Read More »New Maynard Interview
According to Maynard‘s Myspace Blog: Get this. Are you sitting down? Not sure how this happened, but I’m not complaining. Cuntry Boner just showed up at number 1 on the Billboard Dance Singles Chart and number 10 on the Billboard Singles Chart. Not kidding. Almost as funny as Jethro Tull winning a Grammy for Best METAL Performance. Hopefully it won’t go down. El Oh El.
Tool have been nominated for another Grammy more than 12 months after 10,000 Days was released. Maybe they’ll win it, who knows… Category 17 Best Hard Rock Performance (For solo, duo, group or collaborative performances, with vocals. Singles or Tracks only.) * Sweet Sacrifice Evanescence Track from: The Open Door [Wind-up Records, LLC] * The Pretender Foo Fighters [Roswell/RCA Records] * I Don’t Wanna Stop Ozzy Osbourne Track from: Black… Read More »Tool nominated for another Grammy
I think there have been enough Tool related polls lately, time for something completely different. What’s your favorite Primus album?
Last week I asked a somewhat controversial question regarding Tool‘s set list. There are a lot of strong feels out there regarding Tool‘s recent tour habits, and a good percentage of Tool fans are dissappointed by the lack on change in their set list. Compared to the Lateralus tour, the 10,000 Days tour has been considerably more static, and generally shorter in set length. Personally, I’m not too bothered by… Read More »Poll Results: Does a repetitive setlist alter your view on Tool’s live performances?
ckkenn from Toolarmy shared with us today a couple of pictures of a Tour Poster customised by Adam at the recent Everitt show. Here they are for you viewing pleasure:
Toolarmy has a post indicating that a limited quantity Signed Lateralus Vinyl was available earlier today. Unfortunately for those of you reading this for the first time, they appear to be sold out. No word on if any more of these will be made available at any point, though I’d suggest there wouldn’t be many more hidden away in the TA warehouse.
It’s quite possibly too late now, but Toolband/Army informs us that TU (Pat Mastelotto and Trey Gunn from King Crimson) will be opening for Tool in Everett tonight. They’re also playing at the Portland show. They go on before Trans-am, so don’t get there late if you want to see them!
