Tour Dates, Vicarious Video Update

Blair‘s posted plenty of new tour dates on Toolband, including some East Coast US Dates, and some more European dates. Also confirmed was that Tool will be playing in Athens in December, though the venue is TBA. Apollo has blessed you. There’s been lots of interest in the Vicarious video, and when it would be released. In response to this, Chronographer on Toolarmy posted a link to an interview with… Read More »Tour Dates, Vicarious Video Update

Norwegian Chat, Tripping

Looks like Tool maybe doing a bit of a Webchat in Norway. No idea when it is, it may have already been and gone. Good luck! Blabbermouth also says that Tool will be on a local radio station on the Tinitus show on Wednesday, July 5 between 20.00 CET (8:00 p.m.) and 22.00 CET (10:00 p.m.) on P3. In other news, I’m going away camping for a few day (Carnarvon… Read More »Norwegian Chat, Tripping

Just in time for the 2006 World Cup, Yahoo interview Justin about his thoughts on England’s chances this time around.  Nothing about Tool in the interview though, but interesting anyway.  Go Australia!

Blksun on Toolarmy sent me some scans of a recent Tool article in Classic Rock UK magazine.  Here’s some links for your enjoyment: https://www.fourtheye.net/images/cl-rock/toolscan1.jpg https://www.fourtheye.net/images/cl-rock/toolscan2.jpg https://www.fourtheye.net/images/cl-rock/toolscan3.jpg https://www.fourtheye.net/images/cl-rock/toolscan4.jpg https://www.fourtheye.net/images/cl-rock/toolscan5.jpg I also found a brief interview with Les Claypool, where he talks about his new solo album “Of Whales and Woe”, Primus recording next year and his desire to follow through with the Adrian Belew and Danny Carey project.  Hopefully this may… Read More »Article + Les

Danny speaks to Rhythm UK

Steve emailed me today with a couple of bits from a recent Rhythm UK magazine.  Steve says “It’s a good interview, typed out a couple excerpts, the article goes on to say that the drum tracks were recorded in a studio normally reserved for movie soundtracks, his new setup, the writing process and his influences.” Is there any song on 10,000 Days that was more interesting or challenging to play… Read More »Danny speaks to Rhythm UK

Justin in Bass Guitar

Slicknickshady on Toolnavy has come up with the goods again, and shares with us some snippets from a recent Justin Chancellor interview in Bass Guitar magazine.  Here’s my favorite grab: Chancellor’s sound begins with the active pickups in his four-string birds-eye maple and mahogany Wal bass, which he bought shortly after he joined Tool in 1995 for rehearsals that would lead to the compleation of Aenima. At the time, his… Read More »Justin in Bass Guitar

Maynard Interview

Bruised_Kiwi in Toolnavy posts this interesting interview with Maynard.  Here’s one of the highlights: JR: A lot of the longer songs on your records take place near the end of the album but you chose to put a 17 minute monster (“Wings for Marie” and its counterpart “10,000 Days”) near the beginning of the record and surprisingly it doesn’t wreck the flow of the album at all. MJK: Originally it… Read More »Maynard Interview

Mandalas, Article Collection

Looks like Vince De Franco’s Mandala drums are ready for ordering.  For you electronic drum fans out there, check out some of the demos on this site.  They’re pretty impressive.  In case you’ve been hiding in a cave the last few years, these drums have been designed by Frank in conjunction with Danny, and are extensively used on 10,000 Days. Attilla from Toolband Hungary has told me he’s hosting a… Read More »Mandalas, Article Collection
