Pics of the event (including other members of Tool can be found and Toolband, and for a change there’s some exclusive pics on Toolarmy)

Rolling Stone interviews Maynard

June 11th, 2010



In a recent interview with Rolling Stone, Maynard reveals that Tool are considering playing some new material on the road:


While the band isn’t touring behind any new material — its last album was 2006’s 10,000 Days — the frontman says Tool are quietly working on a new disc that’ll be released "when it’s ready." But they’re considering testing out some new material live.

"We’re always writing," Keenan says. "If it comes together, yeah, you’ll hear some new stuff. If it’s not ready, you won’t."


Keenan knows the 5-year gaps between Tool albums frustrate fans, but says there's an explanation for the timing.

"We don't wait," he says. "That's the misconception. Most bands get into a contract and are forced to put out a third record before they're ready. And generally speaking, that third record always ends up being about the road, a lawsuit or the press because they don't have anything to talk about. They haven't lived their lives."


He also goes onto mention that work an a new A Perfect Circle album has commenced:

The frontman also revealed he is working on a fourth LP for massively successful side project A Perfect Circle, their first disc since 2004’s Emotive.

"We’ve got some riffs and some music. It’s just basically playing it over and over again while driving and waiting for things to fall into place."

Maynard James Keenan - Bohemian Rhapsody Queen Cover Live from Activision E3 2010 Video Game Conference with full choir LA philharmonic

 цитата:
Maynard performs Queen

June 16th, 2010

Tags: A Perfect Circle, Billy Howerdel. Queen, Guitar Hero



Maynard took part in the Activision E3 event last night, singing a version of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody with Billy Howerdel on guitar. This appears to be in aid of the forthcoming Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock game out in September 2010. According to Wikipedia, The Outsider by A Perfect Circle will be one of the playable tracks.





 цитата:
For Keenan, performing "Bohemian Rhapsody" on Monday was an unexpected chance to revisit a big rock song from his own adolescence. Dressed in a black suit and red tie, he approximated the soaring operatics of Freddie Mercury against the strings and woodwinds of the L.A. Philharmonic, as animated characters from Guitar Hero sang along.

His A Perfect Circle collaborator Billy Howerdel filled in for guitarist Brian May (who was originally set to perform), rising from the floor with an old Vox amp and Gibson Les Paul to ignite the original glam riffs, adding touches of modern guitar texture. As the song faded out, Keenan hugged the guitarist, and then grabbed his ass as they descended into the stage.

Tool announce Rajas as support act



June 23-rd, 2010



Rajas (featuring Mandala creator Vince DeFranco) will be supporting Tool for a range of dates from the 9th of July onwards:

I am very pleased to be able to announce a new WEBSITE and the debut self-titled album from RAJAS . Being the brainchild of guitarist BEN SHERAZI, the band also features PAUL JONES on bass, GINO BARBONI on percussion, and Mandala Drum and Dimension Beam inventor VINCE DeFRANCO on analog synths and the old ’69′ Fender Rhodes. As you are checking out the RAJAS website, be sure to click on the TOUR SECTION for info about their upcoming support for a certain prog-metal band (I guess it’s official after all!).

I took a quite listen and they sound alright. The dates in question are:

•9th July in Vancouver
•10th July in Seattle
•15th in San Diego
•16th in Las Vegas
•All the Los Angeles gigs


Not sure if it also includes those dates between the 10th and 15th

из отзывов о первом концерте:



 цитата:
-No more white floor stage with visuals on it. There’s a carpet now
-The past few tours have had 3 screens. The usual long horizontal one behind the band, plus the 2 on both sides of the stage. Now there are SEVEN SCREENS. Yes, 7. The platform where nardo and danny play on now has a screen built into it. The floor of DC’s platform and the side facing the audience is a screen. There is also a screen on the ceiling/lighting area, facing the audience.
-Most significantly, they added 2 “moving screens”. They are hidden at the top of the stage at the beginning of the show, but they move around all over the place during various songs. For lateralus they lowered to stage level directly behind adam/Justin.
-Lasers for the standard Aenema/Lateralus/Vicarious and NEW lasers for the patient
-NEW videos for third eye/the patient/and possibly others




 цитата:
Mjk dressed as postal guy and there was a new jam intro to Vicarious




 цитата:
As the band started playing Third Eye, Nardo took out his cellphone camera and took a picture of DC, then walked over to Justin to take his picture. Then realized he already missed the first few words of the lyrics to third eye and ran back to his platform to start the song late. Then after the lyrics continued his photoshoot with Adam




 цитата:
Eon Blue+The Patient was absolutely epic!




 цитата:
Also I should mention that Nardo’s vocals were fairly clear for most of the show. Unlikely previous tours/shows, he wasn’t too drowned out in the background and was fairly audible. I guess that also depends on the venue and where your sitting as well.




 цитата:
Then Maynard says to the crowd “Do you like to travel back in time? I like to travel back in time”.
After a few moments I remembered the Blair post about an older song with question marks on the setlist. Then a moving version of the Undertow logo appears on the back screens and they break into Intolerance. WICKED! Holy fucking shit. Words cannot describe the feeling of getting Third Eye/Patient/Intolerance all in one show! It’s amazing what a difference just a few songs can make.

Thank you Tool. You’ve made all the ridiculous time and effort I’ve spent on you worth every penny. This has easily been the best tool show I’ve ever experienced. I would probably say it’s safe to assume that tonight was the best tool concert since the Lateralus era tours in 2001-2002.

I’ll end my review on this note: I highly encourage every single person who reads this review (and likely the reviews to follow) to do whatever it takes to get to one of these shows. I’ve been to a lot of Tool concerts, but what I experienced tonight was a totally new level of intensity and inspiration.

notes:

No EQ done, just raised the volume some. Recording turned out much better than I was expecting given our seats. I haven't had a chance to listen all the way thru yet, just skipped thru some songs as I drove around for 15 minutes this evening, but I really couldn't find anything to complain about. Special thanks to Suzanne and Adam for helping keep an eye out and for an unforgettable weekend!

 цитата:
Houston Free Press:


• June 20 Toyota Center, Houston, TX



"For the next two hours, nothing else matters," said Tool's Maynard James Keenan as his band launched into "Jambi" right after stirring the pot of the crowd with "Third Eye" from 1996's Aenima to open last night's nearly sold-out one-night stand at Toyota Center. It wasn't quite two hours, but even 30 minutes with Tool is enough to fry your brain's housing.

Now 20 years down the rabbit hole, Keenan and Tool have cultivated a shadowy presence in modern rock. They came to light at a time when bands weren't supposed to be esoteric and artful, and it's those two qualities that have inspired most everyone who embraced them to follow suit.

Tool doesn't beat you in the head with a message; they sneak in while you have checked out and rearrange your shit so when you return you get confused and have to reassess your head. The only bands that came before them that had that innate power were obviously Pink Floyd and possibly Nine Inch Nails.

Tool is a brand band in the best meaning of the word. Few bands these past 20 years have reached such an iconic level where their shows are cerebral events. Mastodon is getting there with each album, as is the Mars Volta. The soon-disappearing Isis also can claim that flag.

Tool on record is one thing, enigmatic as hell and aces headphone rock. Tool in a live setting will leave your mouth agape. Every member of the band is at the pinnacle of their craft, and the fact they all work together so symbiotically is a once in a generation miracle.

Watching them work from our vantage point in the crowd, we could ignore all the LED screens and lasers (though they were supremely bitchin') and watch Tool interact as a band and not just a group hiding behind lighting rigs and effects.

Live, Keenan feeds off drummer Danny Carey, while bassist Justin Chancellor and guitarist Adam Jones are free to stand in their own private laboratories to crank out every squawk of the band's sound. If you were even dead center first row on the floor, you couldn't have seen this. It didn't come off as workmanlike; it simply looks as if Tool is one simple organism pumping in time with its components.

Keenan perched up on a small riser dressed as a sadistic mailman, set up with a bottle of his own Merkin Vineyard-derived wine (naturally), wearing his trademark talk box. Drummer Carey came out clad in a Trevor Ariza uniform. The power forward was a member of the Los Angeles Lakers up until last season; Carey and Jones are mainstays courtside at home games of the recent NBA champions.


1996's Aenima
​During Aenima's "Stinkfist," Toyota Center coalesced in a way we haven't seen a Houston crowd do in quite some time. Band and audience were on beat with each othe, which was reassuring given our town's volatile attitudes when it comes to live concerts. No one had time to fight or drink for fear of missing a single second of the show.

With news of Keenan's other band, A Perfect Circle, possibly reviving touring and recording plans by the fall, and even though a new album is said to be in the works, this may be the last Tool tour for a year or so .

Overall it was a throwback show, no new music and leaning heavily on Aenima which is now nearly 16 years old, but ageless like most of the rest of Tool's catalog. Nothing sounds dated except for maybe 1992's Opiate EP, but that was merely a stepping stone.

It's a good thing, at least to Aftermath, when bands dig into their catalogs to highlight tracks that aren't radio singles or video hits. Take the Iron Maiden show a few weeks back, where they faked out the fairweathers with almost two hours of superfan gems.

If this tour is just an excuse to leave the studio or a chance to say goodbye for a bit, it nonetheless hit all the right spots for Tool fans, including the guy dead center who look like he was about to start crying tears of blood from being so giddy.

Tool puts on mindblowing spectacle


June 22 Cedar Park Center, Cedar Park, TX



Calling it a concert doesn’t do it justice. What Tool gave fans at the Cedar Park Center on Tuesday night was an experience. The music was amazing and the light show was the best I’ve ever seen. It was a pretty far cry from the act that opened the 6,800-seat venue — country artist George Strait. Not the kind of show I ever expected to see in Cedar Park.

For Cedar Park, the 6,800-seat venue is a pretty big deal. For Tool, a band that’s used to playing in 20,000-seat arenas, it was an “intimate setting.” I’m not sure if it was a sell-out or not, but it had to be close. The place was packed full of die-hard Tool fans. Some traveled in from the far reaches of Texas, probably quite a few out-of-state folks as well. I felt pretty lucky to see them in my own town, on a press pass no less. I talked to one guy who said he’d been to five Tool shows and this was his favorite.

Things got intense pretty quickly, with a thunderous version of “Third Eye,” introduced by a projected image of ’60s guru Timothy Leary. “Think for yourself and question authority….” After that, the band played one hit after another, accompanied by computer animations, lasers and clips from their famously creepy videos. I think they got something from every album including Undertow. “Aenеma” was a special crowd pleaser. Everyone knew the words.

The stage arrangement was unusual. In most bands, “frontman” is synonymous with lead singer, but Maynard James Keenan stood on a raised stage at the back, alongside drummer Danny Carey. Most of the time, with the lights and images projected on the wall behind him, all you could see of the lead singer was a silhouette. Guitarist Adam Jones and bassist Justin Chancellor stood in front on either side of the stage. Everyone but Maynard looked like rock ‘n’ roll guys, with long hair and scowls. Maynard on the other hand, wore a T-shirt, shorts and a cap, and on his feet were big oversized fuzzy bunny slippers with scary teeth. Definitely not your typical metal singer get-up. I got the idea that 1. it was about the art, not him; and 2. don’t take it too seriously. I don’t think he’s interested in running any kind of cult.

Together with the music, the light show was very hypnotic. There were geometric shapes, some linear, most fractal. Sometimes the band appeared to be playing under the ocean, or inside the sun. Lots of visions from those videos with their weird homunculi. All in all a very intense experience. It will take a lot to top this one for me. I love the lo-fi indie groups, but it’s great to see a band with so much muscle and musical know-how.

Only negative for me was my persistent problem with rock show tinnitus. I stuffed tissue paper in my ears (I’ve tried earplugs, but they block out too much), but it was still so loud that I could just hear the instruments and a bit of squelchy noise. If I wanted to hear Maynard I had to stick my fingers in my ears as well. It worked though, and no ringing ears today, so I’m satisfied. Anyone else deal with that problem at concerts?

Allen Rhodes took some great photos for us. I wanted to post one in my blog, but I don’t want to get him in trouble. He had to sign an agreement stating that the pics would only be used for one publication, The Hill Country News

Some say the end is near,
Some say we'll see armageddon soon,
I certainly hope we will,
I sure could use a vacation from this
Bullshit
Three ring
Circus sideshow of
Freaks

Here in this hopeless fucking hole we call LA,
The only way to fix it - is to flush it all away,
Any fucking time,
Аny fucking day,
Learn to swim,
I'll see you down in Аrizona Bay...
