So as most of you know by now, all the hype around Tool being in the recording studio was just that, and the recording sessions referred to in Tool's November newsletter were for drummer Danny Carey's side project, Volto.
Speaking to The Pulse Of Radio, Tool frontman Maynard James Keenan confirmed that tool were indeed writing a new album, but that no recording had begun just yet, making it hard to pin down a release time frame.
Metal Injection has posted a clip of Tool guitarist Adam Jones performing the national anthem, aka "The Star-Spangled Banner," live last night at WWE Summerslam in Los Angeles, California.
Members of Rush, the Police, Primus and Tool have joined forces in what could loosely be called a "super group," though would probably be more accurately described as one amazing jam session caught on film.
In a recent interview with Spin, A Perfect Circle frontman Maynard James Keenan revealed that the band may release new material in the near future, although fans shouldn't expect a full album.
