Maynard James Keenan

Maynards Dreams

There’s an exclusive post on Toolarmy, supposedly discussion some dreams Maynard has been having lately.  In the spirit of reading too much into things, I’m going to suggest that the 24th of July is a date to watch. Here’s an excerpt for you non-TAers: I was in an old school vintage arcade playing Mr Do with David Hasslehoff and Leonard Nimoy. (I think I was drinking Dekuyper’s Spearmint Schnapps out… Read More »Maynards Dreams

Stuff

A few snippets of info the last couple of days. CorpseGrindeR (who’s definitely NOT Gay) on Toolarmy posted a few links to some nice Tool photos yesterday. No idea who took them, but they appear to have been taken by someone in the crowd at the recent Tempe show. Dial-up users take not, they’re big pictures! http://img464.imageshack.us/img464/7151/adammaynardtooltempe061sk.jpg http://img464.imageshack.us/img464/8374/aenimatooltempe064ah.jpg http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/738/toolclosetempe063hp.jpg http://img50.imageshack.us/img50/4311/lipancontooltempe068nd.jpg Toolband/Army has confirmed that Tool are playing the Street Scene… Read More »Stuff

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

Tool Rage Playlist Up

For those of you contemplating staying up on Saturday night to watch Tool program Rage, here’s a link that may help.  It’s the list of tracks Tool has programmed to show.  Also being shown that night are all Tool and APC videos, as well as Ween by the looks of things, who, in case you didn’t know, are great! Thanks to James for the link!

Coachella, Rage, Sunrise

There’s plenty of bits and pieces floating around regarding the recent Coachella show.  A couple of guys at Toolnavy has posted some pictures of the show (though the one’s I’ve seen aren’t of great quality) and Distortion Online seems to have a few mp3s. Just a reminder that Tool are appearing on Rage this weekend as guest programmers.  The Rage website has a little preview video of Danny and Maynard… Read More »Coachella, Rage, Sunrise

Snippets

Just a couple of little bits and pieces from the web the last couple of days: Some Signed Lateralus Vinyl is up on eBay at the moment.  Price is up to US$355 right at the moment…. Here’s a little interview with Maynard and Justin from the NZ Herald.  Speaks of rumours of a tour in November, but apart from that isn’t much different from the last 50 or so articles. … Read More »Snippets

Spiralysis

Ben from Spiralysis tells me that he is hosting the recent Triple J interview with Danny and Maynard.  Feel free to head to his website if you want to have a listen.  He also has plenty of interesting videos of the band, and in particular Danny, so it’s well worth the visit. I had a listen to the interview last night, and it was a good interview, though revealed nothing… Read More »Spiralysis

Finnish Maynard Interview

The Betterfly on Toolarmy posted an interview with Maynard on TA boards this morning. Here’s some highlights: A huge thanks to Joe Barresi who spent lots of time and effort working on (especially) guitar sounds. I think “10,000 Days” is overall more “raw” sounding than “Lateralus” or “Aenima” and you have to go back all the way to “Undertow” to find similar soundscapes. “Lipan Conjuring” is Danny’s little song which… Read More »Finnish Maynard Interview
