According to Blair, at the Shred School you can expect: ADAM’S teaching at SHRED SCHOOL (see post below), and I’m fairly certain that he’s going to go above and beyond, bringing artwork, etc. (you know those Tool productions…), so if you’re planning on giving him an apple, make it blue, with a Star of Babalon inscibed inside. Also mentioned is that Buzz & Dale from The Mevlins are performing at… Read More »More Shred School Info, The Melvins

Blair tells us that Mike Savage from Pigmy Love Circus has triumphed over hs bout of throat cancer. Apparently he’s ready for his next challenge, which I’m sure some hope is a new Pigmy’s album. The Notes From The Crew section in Toolarmy finally got a start today, and it’s been revealed that Eric, the bands stage manager is writing it. In his first post he talks about how Tool’s… Read More »Triumph, Notes from the Crew
Nocode4444 from Toolarmy tells us that his mate Ryan has posted some great Bonnaroo including several of Tool. Head over to this site to see them (they’re a little way in) and comment on what you think of Adam’s pigtails!
This Friday the 27th of July, the Melvins will be playing at The Troubadour in Hollywood. Trevor Dunn from Fantomas will be taking care of bass playing this show, and they’re expecting to play the entire Lysol and Eggnog albums. Blair tells us that some members of Tool might be there. Adam playing with the guys perhaps?
I had a chance to read the recent Guitar World article with Adam Jones, and it’s one of the best Tool articles I’ve read for a while. It reveals plenty of new info and some insight into Adam’s guitar playing. Here are some points I know most of you are interested in: The first video for 10,000 Days (presumably Vicarious) will be entirely in CGI has run into some “vicious… Read More »Adam in Guitar World
The Tool Hotline tell me that Adam Jones will be taking part in the Shred School event held at the Millenium Biltmore Hotel in LA on the 4th of August. Guitarists and Tool fans would be crazy not to go. As a side note, the Millenium Biltmore is where my wife and I stayed on our honeymoon!
Foamy tells me that Adam will be appearing in the September issue of Guitar World where he talks about “His sound, his technique and his links to the occult”. Foamy also mentioned that there’s a scan of the Justin interview in Bass Player magazine up on ToolTabs.net Given the recent run of interviews, will we see Danny in a drumming magazine soon too?
In a recent interview with Billboard.com, Adam discusses the creative process, the potential for a Tool movie and the legal proceedings relating to Cam De Leon. [In regards to the movie] “We all have ideas about it,” Jones says. “If I had my way, it would be a narrative story in a surreal fashion with as much money and special effects we could throw at it. I think some of… Read More »Adam talks about the Tool movie
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
