Owner of the semi-official Tool website TDN (tool.down.net) Kabir last night posted a vague thread at Tool Navy simply saying: “so … i’ll have some more info about the album tonight.” I’m sure most of you reading this were amongst the 500+ fans that were refreshing the site every few seconds desperate for some new information. The site went down after a few hours leaving us all in the lurch… Read More »Kabir Posts a Review of 10,000 Days
According to The Pulse: Adrian Belew wraps up his conceptual trilogy in Side Three on the Sanctuary Records imprint, getting muddy and funky with guests Les Claypool of Primus, Danny Carey of Tool, and King Crimson bandmate, Robert Fripp. In never really heard much of Side One and Two, though I’ve been told they’re pretty good, and Danny drumming as usual is amazing. Aphex0 on Toolarmy says it will be… Read More »Belew, Carey & Claypool
Just a quickie…. Blair also writes that he spoke to Danny regarding the Coachella gig, and the Tool will be play at least some of the new CD there. Kinda gives me the impression that it’ll be more of the old show + a couple of new songs, rather than the “new” Tool experience, if indeed there is such a thing. Oh and there was some crap about the Schism… Read More »Tool at Coachella

Nothing particularly new though: Many fans have inquired regarding the album art TOOL has released on Amazon for pre-sale of the album. The cover is an adaptation of Alex Grey’s painting, Net of Being. Blair on Toolband/Army posts today that Butcher played recently with some disturbing new artwork. He also mentions that Volto are playing in the… Read More »Alex Grey Comments, Butcher/Volto/Tool Live
I managed to miss this one yesterday, but Danny Carey has said apparently to Launch: “We truly are an alternative band,” Danny said. “It’s an alternative to what other people label as alternative, that actually all sounds the same or whatever. And I think people can identify that and they can relate to it, and they desire the real thing when it’s available. You just gotta stick to your laurels… Read More »Danny Interview, Alex Grey
Blair posted on Toolband/Army that he spoke to Danny from Australia last night. The promo tour seems to be going well, and Danny is expected back in LA tomorrow. There were many interviews given, and Blair warned us that we should expect articles in Guitar World, Revolver and Modern Drummer, and no doubt there will be others.
Volto are playing in LA once again, as usual at the Baked Potato(!) this Thursday the 9th of February. You know the drill, if you’re there, check them out, if you’re in the remaining 99.9 percent of the population, don’t go….. It would be nice if for once someone would give a report of what the shows are actually like, maybe even some pics or sounds.
According to Toolband/Army Danny will be signing autographs in the Sonor booth at NAMM this weekend. NAMM is a musical instruments show and will be held this year at the Anaheim Convention Centre in LA. I you go along, expect to meet many other musical identites such as Vernon Reid, and don’t forget to go to the ESP stand and check out the new Page Hamilton Signature model. I want… Read More »Danny at NAMM, Maynard’s Site Update
Could this doohickey, created by Danny‘s mate Vince DeFranco be used by Adam (or Justin even) on the new CD?
Blair on Toolband/Army reports that Volto are playing at the Knitting Factory in LA on Friday the 20th of January. Tickets can be purchased here. In case you don’t know, Danny drums for Volto
