Earlier this year, Tool drummer Danny Carey said the band intended to record new music “later this year.” The group, which consists of Carey, vocalist Maynard James Keenan, guitarist Adam Jones and bassist Justin Chancellor, has no tour dates until March and has been playing King Crimson tributes almost every night. If not, it could support Carey’s claim. It will last until mid-December. In a recent interview with Alison Hagendorff, Keenan lamented that Carey’s marathon 65-date touring schedule is hampering the creation of new Tool music.
“He talks a lot,” Keenan said of Carey. “He’s on the BEAT tour right now with Adrian Belew, Steve Vai, and you know, it’s an amazing, great line-up. It’s really impressive. But he’s out there. So if he’s out there… If so,[he and the rest of the Tool bandmates]aren’t[in the studio]and I can’t do what I need to do until they get in there and work.”
Hagendorf followed up on the band’s famously laborious recording process, resulting in a 13-year gap between Tool’s two most recent releases, 10,000 Days and Fear Inoculum. .
“I’m able to plan my day and get things done,” he said. “I make it happen. It’s about making it a priority. That nothing is more important than finishing this thought, finishing this thing, getting to the end. If you put anything in front of it, it won’t get done. So put everything aside. Nothing else is a priority and just get done. That’s how I look at it. ”
