As I do every month, I picked up latest edition of Australian Guitar magazine. Like Rolling Stone they’ve also run a Big Day Out feature, this time running a much better interview with Adam. The interview is really quite good, and for guitar geeks like me talks about his gear in a bit more detail. Here’s a few highlights.

The Arizona Republic have posted a short interview with Justin before their upcoming show at the Cricket Pavillion. Not a bad read. I guess this quote explains why Tool may be playing on the Big Day Out: Q: You played the Coachella Festival in California in April. How did that compare to the European festivals you played over the summer? A: It’s the one festival we played over here that… Read More »Justin Interview
According the the recent CoSM Newsletter I received, Alex Grey will be at the Burning Man festival this year. One of the features of his display will be the Sacred Mirror banners that Tool used on their Lateralus tour. Bastardometer from Toolarmy tells me that Danny will be featured in the new Drum Magazine. The magazine will also feature tabs(?) for Vicarious on drums.
