Maynard James Keenan has announced that he is done writing lyrics and melodies to Tool’s new album, and that all he has left to do is record his vocals. Keenan said that he is still waiting on his bandmates to finish recording music so that he can get to work recording his already written vocals.
Keenan tweeted, “My work is done. Words, melodies. Waiting on them to track. Then I can finish. Can’t track to music that isn’t recorded.”
He later deleted the tweet.
Maynard James Keenan said he recorded A Perfect Circle’s new album Eat the Elephant because Tool ‘weren’t ready’ in a new Kevin and Bean interview.
“It seems like my other buddies weren’t quite ready. I’ll just say it, the word Tool. They weren’t ready, so the obvious move was to see what Billy was up to.”
He also told Rolling Stone recently when asked for an update on Tool’s new album.
“There isn’t anything. I’m just waiting. I’m done. When they’re ready, I will be ready.”
Tool have teased synth experimentation in a new studio clip, with many fans commenting that we may see some shades of Nine Inch Nails on the new album.
