Tool have shared several new photos of the band working on their new album. Adam Jones shared an album of photos featuring Justin Chancellor playing his new bass with whiteboards that map out new song ideas, and an adorable look at his son playing drums. See the photos below!
Maynard James Keenan discussed what he wants to accomplish with Tool and A Perfect Circle’s new albums, and his lyric writing process in the second part of Revolver’s web series, “The Art of Work.”
“If I’m accurate with the broad stokes and the sacred geometry of it, you’ll have some experience that applies to this story, but I don’t lay it all out,” Keenan says of the way puzzles inform his lyrics. “It’s not just all A, B, C, therefore D. It’s gonna be all over the map, it’s going to require you to be engaged in some way.”
He also said, “We’re not gonna beat you over the head with it, if you don’t want to get it, you don’t have to, you can just have some wine and food and move along. The songs, you can just tap your feet, jump up and down … No matter what the project – Puscifer, Perfect Circle, Tool – we’re trying to give you something that’s more than the sum of its parts.”
