Tool Satisfy Toronto Fans

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) August 6, 2009 3:01 pm
Tool fans are used to waiting. Singer Maynard James Keenan, guitarist Adam Jones, bassist Justin Chancellor and drummer Danny Carey took the stage nearly an hour after their scheduled set time at Toronto's Molson Amphitheatre on Wednesday night. This would make the average crowd antsy, but Tool fans are an unusually loyal bunch, and seeing as...

Tool Know How To Delight Their Faithful

in
By ChartAttack.com Staff (CHARTattack) September 25, 2006 3:00 pm
iI'm going to be honest: I'm not the biggest Tool fan in the world. It's not that I don't like them. I've heard all their albums at one point or another and I respect them as phenomenal musicians. They're simply one of the many bands whose oeuvre I've yet to fully explore. With that in mind, Saturday's show at the Molson Amphitheatre gave me a...

Tool's Loyal Fans Ignore Tech Problems

in
By Steve English (CHARTattack) May 17, 2006 4:00 pm
Progressive metal, like competitive sport fishing or Advanced Dungeons & Dragons, is generally the exclusive preserve of the Y-chromosomed. But then, after 15 years and four albums (three of which have wormed their way into the Billboard top five), Tool have built a solid cult as exceptions to hard rock's rigid rules. Granted, dudes of all...

Tool — 10,000 Days

in
By Shehzaad Jiwani (CHARTattack) May 2, 2006 4:20 pm
Considering Tool's legion of fans, it's hard to believe that this is only their fourth full-length album. Still, like Nine Inch Nails, their albums are always worth the wait. The new record recalls the more metal-oriented sound of their early days, albeit with the progressive and technical songwriting of the band's more recent work, like Undertow...

Tool guitarist Adam Jones and King Crimson axeman Robert Fripp are considering releasing an album they apparently started recording five to six years ago in Los Angeles, according to The Pulse Of Radio. The two reportedly met in January in London...

This one is dedicated to Martin Streek. No Martin Streek live-to-air special would be complete without Tool. Truthfully, he was more likely to play something from Undertow than this record, but whatever. We only had this one lying around. You'll be missed, Martin.

But guitarist Adam Jones recently told Guitar World magazine that he'd been working on new material with other members of the band, which means a new album could be out much sooner than 2011 providing...
