There’s no other band quite like Tool.  Juxtaposing dark sounds and images against positive messages about expanding our hearts, minds and souls and evolving as a species.  Equal parts terrifying and uplifting.  Adam Jones’ signature guitar sound and visceral visuals; Danny Carey’s polyrhythms and unparalleled percussion; Justin Chancellor’s melodic and hypnotic bass; and Maynard James Keenan’s incredible voice, powerful lyrics and enigmatic persona.

Hear us talk about Tool’s evolution from a punk/metal band to a psychedelic progressive band with a heavy focus on 1996’s breakthrough album, Aenima, it’s its impact on music and our lives.  And the story about how Adam learned Brazilian Jiu Jitsu at Maynard’s feet!

Joel Egger joins the show after his first guest appearance about Pearl Jam and 90’s Grunge shattered all download records for the show.  Check out his podcast, the Trying to Be Better Podcast with Joel and Steve, and head to patreon.com/lessthan2000 for the one-and-a-half hour video discussion of all things 90’s Tool, complete with Adam wearing his jiu jitsu gi!
