TOOL: New Audio Interview DANNY CAREY Posted Online

February 7, 2007

Drummer Danny Carey of TOOL was recently interviewed by Andrew Haug of Triple J's "Full Metal Racket" (based in Australia). Listen to the interview in streaming audio at the Triple J web site: Windows Media, Real Media (NOTE: The Danny Carey interview begins at around the 52-minute mark). Check out the show's entire playlist at this location.

Launch Radio Networks reported last month that TOOL intends to record some dates on its next North American tour for a live CD and DVD. The initial dates for the outing have been announced, with the first confirmed show on March 15 in Las Vegas. Although TOOL tapes all its live shows, drummer Danny Carey told Launch that the band doesn't want to release each one as groups like PEARL JAM have done. "I doubt if we'll go that far with it, but we'll definitely be releasing some live DVDs and specific concerts that we feel strongly about," he said. "I think that's just a cooler way to do it. Pick the best stuff instead of just flood the market with a bunch of mediocre crap (laughs). No one can be their best every night. It's great that people may want all that, you know, if they're real hardcore fans, but I don't know, I think quality rather than quantity is a lot more important way to go."

The stage production on the next TOOL jaunt will be "more intense" than the band's last trip, with computer animation and props possibly being included.

The band is supporting its fourth album, "10,000 Days", which has sold 1.4 million copies since arriving last May. The CD's next single is "Jambi".

TOOL is currently headlining the Big Day Out festival tour in Australia and New Zealand.
