Patience may be a virtue, but after more than six years since their last proper release, Tool fans are getting a bit antsy for new material.
Hearing the pleas of the masses, guitarist Adam Jones took to Facebook late last night to answer some of the more over-zealous Tool fans who are "demanding" a new album sooner rather than later.
"To those of you who demand a new album from Tool: would you rather get something mediocre now, or something impressive later?," he wrote. "Truth is, we don't write for you, we write for us. But we don't share for us, we share for you."
And there you have it, Tool fans. You'll have to wait longer, but it'll all be worth it. In the meantime, let's revisit an underrated Tool classic:
“A lot of old-school guitar players can play amazing. But sometimes they’re not so innovative with the actual sound”: Steven Wilson on why guitarists need to switch up their tones to prevent their solos sounding stale
“He was interested but said, ‘I gave the guitar away. I feel stupid buying it’”: Norman Harris almost sold John Fogerty back his iconic ACME Rickenbacker – years before he was eventually reunited with it
