I found this short interview with Justin today on Time-Off today. It’s not particularly long, but it does have a few interesting points: TO: Does the band choose which support acts it plays with? JC: “Yes, we completely decide that. It just comes down to what we’re into, and obviously everyone has different ideas about that  –  everyone’s got a different current thing that they love. So we just sort… Read More »Time Off interviews Justin
AntiSol tells me that the Big Day Out live stream for the New Zealand show will be interviewing Tool very shortly. If you’re online you might want to take a look: http://www.c4tv.co.nz/BigDayOut2007/C4attheBDO/tabid/215/Default.aspx Edit: I’ve either got a really crappy connection, or it’s a lousy stream, since it keeps stopping on me quite regularly. Visit at your own risk… Update: Looks like Tool have done and Axl Rose and not turned… Read More »Tool Interview
bms46and2 posted on Toolnavy today a link to an interview with Maynard on Asahi.com. It’s a pretty short one, and really doesn’t cover much we haven’t already heard before, but I’m sure some of you completists out there will want to read anyway. Here’s an excerpt: Maynard James Keenan, singer and lyricist with the U.S. heavy rock band Tool, has got a crush on Japan. “It’s my favorite place on… Read More »Maynard on Asahi.com
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. On the Big Day Out: AG: How does playing a festival… Read More »Adam in Australian Guitar
I was wandering through the newsagent yesterday and noticed that the Australian Edition of Rolling Stone magazine has a feature this month on bands touring Australia this summer. There was a short interview with Maynard there which really isn’t worth purchasing the magazine for. It really doesn’t cover anything we haven’t already read about in previous interviews. It does mention that Maynard is hoping to visit the Magill Estate in… Read More »Maynard in Aussie Rolling Stone, BDO Tickets Update
Drummers Digest have posted an interview with Danny. Not a bad interview, though it really doesn’t reveal much we don’t already know either: Danny: “The record companies are in trouble, it’s getting harder and harder to sell records. That was why we tried really hard to come up with a cool package that can’t be downloaded, that’s like a piece of art that people want to hold in their hands.… Read More »Drummers Digest speaks to Danny
Danny Carey and Brann Dailor from Mastodon took over the BBC Rock Show the other night, and it show is currently available for streaming on the website. Apparently this will only be available for the next week. Not really an interview as such, more the guys discussing drumming and playing a few tracks. Here’s what they picked: Mahavishnu Orchestra – ‘Meeting Of The Spirits’ (Sony) Isis – ‘ Holy Tears’… Read More »DC on the Rock Show, Tool Tickets
XtotheY of Toolnavy posted last night that Tool are featured in the latest edition of the German magazine Visions. No transcript of the interview was made available, but it was a pretty stock standard interview except for the following points: The Vicarious video will be entirely computer generated, which is why there have been delays. Adam is yet to see the video for himself Maynard justified the current Tool ticket… Read More »Tool in Visions
Casi emailed me today, telling me that he received and email for Blair a few days ago, confirming that Tool will be touring the Gulf Coast region on their next US tour. Hopefully those of you who missed out last time will be able to catch them next year. Toolshed mentioned that Danny and Brann Dailor of Mastodon will appear on this Tuesday’s episode of The Radio Rockshow. Speaking of… Read More »Tour News, Coming Interviews, Mastodon Videos, Salival Request
According to Blabbermouth, Tool will be appearing on the Rock Show with Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson on Saturday December 9. The show is broadcast via the internet on BBC.co.uk and runs between 9:00pm and 12:00am. Now word on whether this will be an interview, or some kind of live performance, though given Tool’s usual reluctance to be recorded live, I’d suggest it’ll be the former.
