Blair made a post on Toolarmy over the weekend that I missed, where he briefly mentions a bit of an update on where Tool are at right now: (in regards to Tool) I still haven’t heard of any new developments with regards to last month’s meeting with the band members, their lawyers, and management. I believe this to be good news. Ditto with regards to the other band project in… Read More »Tool Update
From the slow news day division of Fourtheye comes an extremely expensive snare drum (US $2,133.43) made by Jeff Ocheltree, the same man who created Danny‘s drumkit from old Paiste Cymbals. This item, available on Ebay is one of only 500 made, so don’t miss out! Thanks to Venomous-voice for the tip.
Blair posted on Toolband/Army today an article talking about Danny‘s recent injury. Apparently he was attacked by a Sea Urchin or Scorpion Fish. Lucky it wasn’t a Sting Ray I guess… Anyway, he elaborates to say that he’s had two surgeries on the hand, and that there probably won’t be any Tool or Volto! shows for a little while.
A quick post from Blair today tells us that Danny doesn’t have a Myspace site, and that anyone thinking they’re talking to him via this site is mistaken. Fans wanting to contact Danny should instead use dannycarey.org.
According to a recent post by Blair on Toolband/Army, Aloke is recovering well from his heart surgery in his home town of Shantiniketan, India. Good news… Also, Volto! will be playing at the Knitting Factory in LA on March 15. Make sure you grab a ticket! prepare yourself, here’s a cool drum solo courtesy of rnp2003 from Toolarmy. Finally, for those that missed it, there’s a new NIN album out… Read More »Aloke OK, Volto! coming soon
According to a recent Blabbermouth post, Dannÿ had this to saÿ about his time with Green Jellÿ: “At the time when I was playing with them, it was pretty rad, It was more of almost an X-rated vibe to it when we were just playing in clubs, you know, for older people. It was just controlled chaos in a lot of ways, and then once the record deal happened and… Read More »Green Jellÿ was “prettÿ rad”
According to a Blabbermouth article I read today, Green Jellÿ are re-releasing their Cereal Killer and 333 albums soon, and are in the process of booking a national tour. Both Danny and Maynard were members of the band at various stages, and there’s no word on whether or not either of them will be taking part.
Tigran contacted me the other day, saying he ran into Danny at a Jazz Show at the La Ve Lee club in LA. Apparently, Danny suggested the Pigmy Love Circus may be doing some stuff in the next few months (possible some shows and/or recording) before Tool start up again in April. Tigran presumed this meant more shows, but I guess in light of recent news it means they may… Read More »Danny Says….
According to a Grammy-related Rolling Stone article I read this morning: and, to our extreme pleasure, Maynard James Keenan and drummer Danny Carey from Tool. Maynard promised a new Tool album, the though of which makes our Patron hangover much more manageable. That’s all there is…
In the last few days we’ve had some news on Toolband/Army showing us what Justin and Danny have been doing on their time off. Justin and Shelee have been visiting famous gravestones in Seattle, while Danny and Rynne have been whale watching in Hawaii. More photos can be found on Toolarmy. No word on what Adam and Maynard are up to though. Presumably Maynard is busying himself at his winery,… Read More »Tool on Holidays
