Danny & Justin had another chat with Aussie radio station Triple J the other day, and had the following to say about the upcoming Tool album: Chatting with Rosie on triple j, band mates Danny Carey and Justin Chancellor were typically cagey when it came to Tool’s first planned release in 5 years. Even joking that the follow up album to 2006’s 10,000 days should be called “50,000 days”. However,… Read More »Tool talk new album on JJJ
I was forwarded and interview this morning with Danny in the latest edition of Beat magazine. Beat is a street press type magazine from Victoria, and had the chance to speak with Danny in a brief interview. Here’s a slab: Jambi takes me back to that uncomfortable memory that greeted you at the door of this interview, but Danny mentions it for a good reason: that song’s three divided rhythms… Read More »Danny on the Beat
According to a recent tweet by Antiquiet (and also on Billy Howerdel’s Facebook so I hear): Maynard and I just got done tracking some vocal for a new APC song Hopefully this means we’ll see a new A Perfect Circle track sometime in the not too distant future. As I posted a few days ago the December Newsletter was just released. Now I’ve had a chance to read it, here’s… Read More »A Perfect Circle track recorded? Newsletter + Tool goodies on Ebay
There’s an excellent interview with Danny on Aussie site Faster Louder this morning. He talks about preparations for the tour and touches on the new album as well: What can we expect from this Tool show that differs from the band’s previous Big Day Out appearance in 2007? Definitely different lighting features, props and visual delights I guess! Not a lot of new music but we’ll try to mix it… Read More »Danny speaks with Faster Louder
Si emailed me today an interview that Justin has done recently with the New Zealand Herald. The article itself is in regards to their appearance on the Big Day Out Festival, but Justin drops several hints about the new album: “But we all come up with stuff on our own, and probably for the first six months we just share our ideas with each other, spending hours dithering around. So… Read More »Justin talks about the new album
I forgot to mention in the August update that you can listen to a new remix of The Humbling River on the Puscifer site. It’s the second track after Rocket Man. Sounds good, but personally I’m ready for some new stuff rather than just remixes… Toolshed also had an update recently. Not only have then just turned 15 (congratulations!) but Kabir spoke with Danny who confirmed Tool are back songwriting.… Read More »Puscifer Remix, Toolshed Hits 15!
Blair has released the July 2010 Newsletter on Toolband, and it’s a short one. It briefly discusses the tour, their plans to continue writing and a four seeded peanut: I reached into a bag of peanuts, grabbed a handful, and upon cracking open the FIRST ONE, was amazed to see that it contained four perfectly formed peanuts. Immediately it hit me that this was a most auspicious sign – a… Read More »July Tool Newsletter
Yet another interview with Adam today, this time with Crave Online. As with the previous interviews, it largely focuses on the upcoming art gallery, however Adam does talk about the tour, the setlist, Maynards voice and the writing process for the new album: CraveOnline: I know you’re on tour now, but can you tell us anything about the new Tool record? Adam Jones: We’re writing, we’re writing. It’s going a… Read More »Adam on the new album
Prepare your banishing irons – the March newsletter is now out. Here’s the bit you need to know, the rest can be found at the usual locations: Members of the band are still in the process of writing new material (three days a week), and with the latest leg of the “Puscifer†tour nearing completion, it shouldn’t be long before the dry-erase board is filled with a bewildering array of… Read More »Tool March Newsletter
The February newsletter is now up on Toolband/Toolarmy and it’s a somewhat revealing one: Tool are in the process or writing new material., though Blair personally hasn’t heard any. Joe Baressi has, which suggests to me he’s probably going to engineer the album again. Adam has a new pedal he’s been playing around with, and this may or may not feature. Danny has some new percussion instruments, and they definitely… Read More »Tool February Newsletter
