Posted by on March 7, 2014

If it seems like it’s been about 10,000 days since the last time Tool released an album, it’s actually only been about 2,869 of them since their last album came out in 2006. According to Crave Online, that’s about to come to an end, though. The band began touring this week, and one of the […]

These wrestlers are a bunch of Tool fans

Posted by on February 12, 2014

It’s no secret that Tool guitarist Adam Jones is a huge fan of professional wrestling. Not only did he play the Star Spangled Banner at the WWE’s Summer Slam back in 2011, but he even proposed to his girlfriend last year at the Royal Rumble. So it probably shouldn’t come as a big surprise that […]
