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!
