You can find it all in one place here. After a rough 2020 that saw a global pandemic take over our lives and the concert industry shut down, 2021 was hopefully primed to be the year of the comeback. While live music has returned to a certain degree, it’s been a bumpy ride thus far, as bands deal with COVID outbreaks amidst their camps and fans enter venues with extra caution. One thing we can all still count on is new albums to get us through difficult times, and while 2021 may not have been super prolific as far as new releases, it still proved to be another strong year for the heaviest genre...

Video Surfaces of Tool Drummer Danny Carey’s Arrest
Earlier today, we reported that Danny Carey was arrested on Sunday night (December 12th) for an alleged assault at the Kansas City airport. Now, video of his arrest has surfaced, showing the Tool drummer getting into it with the officers. Unfortunately, the video is not a good look for Carey, who berates the officers and tells the person filming him to “videotape all of this.” The drummer, wearing a Kansas City Chiefs jersey (and perhaps attending the NFL team’s home game against the Raiders earlier that day), keeps asking one of the officers, “Who did I assault?” and exclaiming, “I just want to get the f**k out of here.” The footage then cuts to two officers pinning him against a glass wall outside the airport, with one officer ordering Carey not to get too close to them. The officers the...
Tool Drummer Danny Carey Arrested for Alleged Assault at Airport

At the station, Carey was photographed for a mugshot (seen in the tweet below), and eventually released on bond. Advertisement Related Video ...
Nandi Bushell Performs Tool’s “Forty Six & 2,” Her “Most Challenging Drum Cover” Yet: Watch
Nandi Bushell, the 11-year-old musical prodigy who just earned Consequence’s 2021 Rookie of the Year honor, has delivered her “most challenging drum cover” yet: the complex “Forty Six & 2” by Tool. And, as always, she absolutely nails it! Not too many seasoned pros can go beat for beat with Tool’s Danny Carey, easily one of the greatest rock drummers of all time. But Nandi was certainly up to the task. With a smile on her face, Nandi offered up a few drumstick twirls and flips before launching into the epic track from Tool’s classic 1996 album Ænima. From there, she played the song like an absolute champ, crushing the heavy middle sections and rolling up her sleeves at the 4:30 mark for a killer fill. “This really was the most challenging drum cover I have done, so far,” wrote Nandi in...
Eddie Van Halen Funko Pop! Figure on the Way
Eddie Van Halen is already immortal in the hearts of millions of rock fans, and now the late guitar legend will be further eternalized as a Funko Pop! vinyl figure. The popular toy company just announced a new figure that looks straight out of Van Halen’s “Panama” video, capturing the guitarist taking a leap while playing his iconic “Frankenstrat.” While it’s a fitting tribute to the rock legend, who passed away in October 2020, his son Wolfgang has revealed that the Funk Pop! figure has actually been in the works since 2019. “Pop signed off on this way back in 2019 and it’s wonderful to see it finally come to fruition,” tweeted Wolf. “So stoked with how it turned out!” Advertisement Wolfgang recently chatted with Heavy Consequence via video Zoom, telling us of his success this past year f...
