It's not like they ever wrote anything so far beyond current music that we should expect them to now. Just some quirky heavy guitar and drum music with ambient sounds and a range of vocals. But they do a top notch job at it. Very distinct and memorable. Their music kinda makes you think sometimes. Very Good.

I want to go listen to it again...someone who has been in the business for that long would know noodling while someone else was talking is just something you don't do, but I really do wonder what he was hinting at with it.

TOOL UPDATE (EVEN THOUGH TODAY IS A HOLIDAY)

Wouldn't you know it. Here I am hoping to observe President's Day by taking care of something at home that I have been putting off for way too long, when I am bombarded with email from Tool fans wanting to know what's going on concerning a recent Facebook post (now making the rounds on all of the on-line music sites) about the members of the band tracking in the same recording facility where the band "Motorhead" are working on something. Well, realizing that millions of you need to get back to shoveling the snow off of your houses instead of anxiously waiting for further information to appear on a computer screen, here are four possibilities that I can think of, with one of them probably being the most likely answer to the chance meeting between the two bands in the same recording studio:

A) The members of Tool that the guys in Motorhead saw and interacted with in the studio were actually the DECOY members of the band , who have started tracking tunes for the new DECOY Tool album.

B) Rather than tracking tunes for the next Tool record, the (real) members of the band have begun tracking (real) tunes for the Tool album that is to be released AFTER the next Tool album is released.

c) Rather than tracking anything, the members of the band were in the studio mixing music that was recorded sometime ago, which might not have anything to do with the next Tool album (which is still in the writing/arranging process), but might be used for another Tool project that has been in the works for a while, of which I am currently not at liberty to add any further details.

D) All of the above.

Okay, like I mentioned earlier, one of these is most likely correct. Now, you have lots of snow to shovel, and I have more socks to fold...

I remember when it was supposed to come out in 2010. Lies. All lies.

They're 20 years past the point of cramming writing sessions into a 4 day LSD cruise and caring whether the musings and ramblings on the other side of that make shit all sense or coherent structure to people in the context of vaguely unorthodox alternative-prog-light-metal. Apparently they're 10 years past the point of really having much motivation to force themselves to be in a room together unless it's going to generate instant cash.

There’s still a fire, it’s just a different kind of fire. So of course, we’re writing and working hard, but we’ve gotten to a point where we’re relaxed and we’re meeting occasionally to get the writing done instead of every day. But I feel like every day we work on the songs is a productive day and we’re getting closer and closer to finishing them.”

I'm sure everyone read the interview on that other tool site already.
