The Tool interview onslaught continued last night as Adam spoke with Triple J‘s the Doctor in a recent radio interview. A quite chirpy Adam talks about practicing new songs, dark parties with Rammstien, comic writing with Adi Granov, Vicarious mathematics, Danny leading the band live, rekindling a love for metal and tasers. The full interview can be found on the Triple J site.
Adam and Justin recently had a chat with Australian site Fasterlouder and answered some questions about a range of topics, including this: Back when you started working on Lateralus Maynard was still busy with A Perfect Circle so you guys started working on the music without him and I was wondering whether you’ve ever been tempted to become an instrumental band? AJ: People have different styles of working. It’s like… Read More »Adam & Justin speak with Fasterlouder
Adam loves wrestling, and it appears he also loves his girlfriend Korin, as he has recently proposed to her at a WWE wrestling event. Footage of the proposal can be found on the WWE website. For those unable to view it, Adam has a message displayed on the big screen, then got down on one knee while Korin accepted. Congratulations to the happy couple from everyone here at Fourtheye!
It’s Adam’s birthday in this part of the world, and as is tradition I shall post a Youtube video that contains some of his best work. The album 10,000 Days was pretty strong in regards to Adam’s guitar work, and while it’s easy to highlight Jambi as a defining solo, I actually think the solos in the 10,000 Days (Wings Part 2) track are the best on the album. Maynard… Read More »Happy Birthday Adam!

Don’t need any more pillows for your couches? Well there here is the present for you! Adam posted on Facebook today a new Predator 2 Action Figure pack what features a small replica of one of the skulls he sculpted back in his movie making days. Here’s a pic: And here’s a link. Presumably it will be for sale soon at a comic book emporium near you!
Alex Grey recently gifted all four members of Tool a special CoSM Grail. According to the blog post: All four members of the band Tool were recently gifted with CoSM Grails.

It was noted on the forums a few weeks back that Adam has created a poster for the current Primus 3D tour, and finally that poster has emerged as part of the St Louis show last night: Looks familiar! Well done to anyone who picked one up!
Blair posted on Toolband today a request from Adam for a specific Diezel Amp: ADAM is looking for a 1996 Blue Face Diezel VH4 amplifier. Perhaps you can help him? Anyone who knows of an available one (exact year, color & model please!) should email: contact@satellitemgmt.com with info. Thanks. If memory serves me correctly Adam already owns one of these which he uses on tour (and presumably in the studio… Read More »Adam needs your help
