TOOL claims “shocking amount of new songs”

Album Watch 2016, COMEONALREADY, TOOL2016

Tool is saying they have shocking amounts of new songs in the chute!  The folks over at AlternativeNation.net report on a Reddit user who described his meet and greet with the band.  The user D1g1talS0ul claims that during the meet and greet Adam played a riff from the new album and said there’s so much music they could do two albums *but* only 5 songs “meet their (tools) standard right now.”  Here’s the link with the post.  TWO albums (there’s those caps again) that’s crazy talk right?  Take what you will from that I suppose because the word was the two album rumor was bogus a few weeks ago now we have more references.

At this rate everyone would probably just be happy with one new album for now.

Danny Carey is a beast!!

Uncategorized

By now if you follow TOOL you’ve seen Adam’s Instagram post that talks about Danny Carey being a beast.  Danny went on to play through a serious Staph infection.   As well in this writer’s opinion we get to hear what sounds like new music.  It has to be said again DANNY CAREY IS A BEAST!! By all accounts Staph is a bitch, this infection was classified as “serious” and doctors advised him not to play.  Doing a whole set through the pain is nothing short of bad ass rock star shit.  As many times as fans say TOOL can be hard on their fans, I think this is a shining moment to the testament of the “show must go on.”

To live in a time where we get to witness one of the greatest drummers has to be the equivalent of getting to see Jimi Hendrix or John Bonham or insert anyone of the greats perform!!  The post essentially says Danny visited a doctor got misdiagnosed with a spider bite, then when it got worse went to a different doctor who drained a quarter sized wound to find it rife with Staph.  And the dude went on to PLAY A WHOLE FUCKING SET LIKE A GOD.  Sorry the caps are the best emphasis I have right now.  Here’s the story direct from Adam’s Instagram.  As well the follow up post from the show from Salt Lake demonstrates how lucky we are for great fucking antibiotics as Danny barely has a limp.

Let’s hope this does not impact the new album progress!
