ADAM JONES of TOOL got married (video)

#adamjones #tool #rockfileradio
According to The Pulse Of Radio, TOOL guitarist Adam Jones got married last month to artist Korin Faught in a ceremony that took place in San Francisco. Although they got hitched in July, the news was not revealed until Wednesday night (August 28), when a photo of the couple was posted on Jones' official Facebook page with the caption "Mrs. Jones <3 July 6th 2013."

A photo of the Joneses from the wedding was also posted at the guitarist's Instagram account. The couple are also expecting their first child, which Korin revealed via her own Instagram page with a picture of her baby bump and the caption "#bumpwatch."

Jones proposed to Faught last January while ringside at the WWE Royal Rumble showdown in Phoenix. Just before the Royal Rumble went on the air that evening, a message appeared on the WWE's giant "titantron" video screen, saying, "Korin, Adam Jones wants to ask you something... 'Will you marry me?'" With cameras surrounding them, Jones produced a ring and waited for Korin's answer — which luckily for him was "yes."

Meanwhile, drummer Danny Carey recently said that TOOL could have its first album since 2006 completed by the end of this year and in stores in 2014. Despite the long wait and slow pace of work on the record, Jones told The Pulse Of Radio a while back that TOOL's creative process is relatively simple. "We write this song, and then we write the next song — we don't really, like, you know, go, 'Okay, well, now we're gonna write the radio song,' or 'Now, we're gonna write this song,'" he said. "You know, we just write and then put 'em in an order that we like after we've recorded them and then get a feeling from all the songs in the group and then try to attack the propaganda of selling the record."

TOOL's last album, "10,000 Days", came out in 2006. Since that time the band has toured almost every year, while singer Maynard James Keenan has tended to his Arizona vineyard business and recorded several albums with PUSCIFER.

STONE TEMPLE PILOTS EP Gets A Date (audio)

#stonetemplepilots #chesterbennington #rockfileradio
After a summer filled with Chester Bennington singing vocals for Stone Temple Pilots on the track ‘Out of Time,’, both Bennington and the band members have been teasing an EP and that disc now has a title and release date.

‘High Rise’ is due on Oct. 8, credited to “Stone Temple Pilots with Chester Bennington”. There will be five tracks, including the current single ‘Out of Time’.

Guitarist Dean DeLeo recently spoke with ArtistDirect.com about the creation of the EP, which came together quickly due to everyone’s schedules. He explained, “We just finished up the EP. I really do wish we were able to have the time to contribute an LP. For those kids out there, LP means ‘Long Play.’ [Laughs] With everybody’s schedules and Chester having a huge responsibility with Linkin Park, we finished tracking everything on this one night.”



DeLeo says that it literally went down to the wire with Bennington putting the final touches on before he had to leave to head to Asia with Linkin Park. Once Bennington returns from tour, there’s less than a week until Stone Temple Pilots begin their fall North American trek with Bennington. Though everything came together quickly, the guitarist admitted that one of the new songs was created “musically, lyrically and melodically” by Bennington, and that the singer was keen on contributing as much as possible despite the limited time span to work on new songs.

Bennington was announced as Stone Temple Pilots new frontman earlier this year after the band severed ties with Scott Weiland. However, Weiland remains embroiled in a lawsuit with the other STP members over the usage of the name and band material.

He auditioned for Ozzy Osbourne in 1988, when Osbourne was searching for a replacement for Jake E. Lee, but the job went to Zakk Wylde.

In 1993, he recorded the successful Animal Instinct album, which included a cover of the Focus hit "Hocus Pocus". Not only did the hit rocket into the Billboard Top 5, outpacing all other singles as the most frequently played rock song of the year, but the album went on to reach classic rock notoriety.
