Adam’s strings, Maynard Puscifer update and more!

As usual a bunch of things happened while I was away for a few days, so this post is a catch up of sorts.

Tool talk about Undertow on it’s 22nd anniversary

Loudwire have a new article online today in which Maynard, Adam and Danny each talk about Undertow on it’s 22nd anniversary.

Playing with Copeland (who is on guitar) is Danny and Neil Peart of Rush. A bunch of other guys join the track as well. Here it is for your listening pleasure:
