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!
