Tool on COVID-19 & The Cancelled 2020 Tour (Danny Carey & Justin Chancellor)

Danny Carey & Justin Chancellor talk about the cancelled 2020 tour and writing music for Tool. April & May 2020.

Fear Inoculum Tour can happen 8 years from now and it will still sell out in 2 hours... Timeless gift. ❤️🤘🏻

Bryce Fi is your favorite tool album? I’m curious as to why? It’s definitely there most psychedelic

[@stockman214]

@@planet9938 - I hear you. I think an album a year was maybe exaggerating - but you get my point. I'd be happy with a new album every three years. I just don't want to wait another 10 like we did for Fear Inoculum.

[@stockman214]

@Filip Martin - I hear you. I'm a big fan of Fear Inoculum, actually, but I understand what you mean. The album is definitely not lyric/singing centric (and I wish more of it was). I hope (and believe) that Maynard has at least one more mind-blowing Tool album still in the chamber - I hope it comes soon.

[@JTNugget]

@Filip Martin I'm very satisfied with what we got. It's just the incredibly long wait in between albums that sucks. If they put out an album like FI every 3-4 years I'm sure we'd all be content or better.

Their music is perfection. I’ve never seen them live. Probably will never get to but every time I listen to them it puts me in a different world. I bet the energy at the shows is incredible.

[@Anthony_LaVigna]

I went once, it was kinda loud ngl

[@haywoodjablome440]

The energy in the performance is great. Top tier. The energy from the fans is relatively lethargic. Tool live performances are fantastic. Interacting with Tool fans is the worst part. Had the good fortune of seeing them a handful of times and its always the same.

[@GrumsIncantation]

Anthony LaVigna what did you expect 😂

[@nicholasgrijalva5842]

wouldnt say never. Either way the shows are so worth going to, despite the prices (and traveling to far away venues). Was the best night of my life seeing them. Like the other dude said, a lot of the people there are mostly in awe and just having an ethereal time instead of moshing and jumping around. However, during the crazy drops during songs like Jambi and Parabol/Parabola, the energy is through the roof.

[@tutsybassista]

I can’t even imagine how dark all of this is getting now but if we have to stop and look around, let’s be thankful that everyone in the band is okay.

[@richardburton1676]

This was great. I could watch you guys do these at least once a week.

[@attackthetubs]

Thank you for this xoxo. Two soothing minds and voices to relax to in a year full of well... yeah.. 2020 baby. Thanks ToolArchive! :)

[@KM_1983]

Saw them in Dallas January 24 2020! Glad they made it through!

Anytime I need inspiration I just watch Danny play, after a few moments I'm on the kit. Tool has always been on another level for me, best live shows I've ever seen.🤯🤯

[@victorfarris3876]

Tool is the best intellectually spiritual music I've ever heard 👌😉🔺️👁

[@GH-bs2eu]

Justin, we really enjoyed seeing you in Portland, and really appreciate you all sticking it out as long as you did. Cheers.

[@jeremiahvallender2139]

Dan Carey your the greatest drummer alive....I began playing drums because of you your amazing thank you for your inspiration

[@gorillacookiesfv3135]

When I got my money back for the show in Orlando a month ago...I was heartbroken...I didn't care when, I just wanted to see Tool again

[@elizabethgonzalez606]

Nice to see these guys still excited about the music they create, even during these difficult days. Shows how committed they are to their art. Wonder how Maynard feels about it all? 🤔🤔

[@atrain84]

Boise. I was so ready for that show!

[@palmerlp]

I was at the Portland show and I feel very grateful to have seen them this year. The staging was incredible.

[@vashusan1984]

Glad I got to see them prior to all the shutdowns.

[@orshovskypenny5705]

I love you guys! This world is better with Tool in it! Thank you for sharing your amazing gifts! THANK YOU!

[@Jalerbo]

I was lucky to watch them for the first time back in February in New Orleans, great show

[@erikhoffman5659]

Stay healthy fellas! All ♥️ from the city of brotherly love!

[@gabrielhaggebrink6700]

Nobody should underestimate how unique their own voice is and how much it will be appreciated. Nurture it and let it out. [...] That's what I want to hear. I want to hear all their different voices, and all their different little quirks and characteristics. [...] Anyone learning music [...] shouldn't forget that, that there's really something magical and beautiful and unique about themselves. First time I hear an interview with Justin. Not disappointed.

I was at the Auckland show. Luckily nobody got infected from that guy, apparently. We were all good though and damn lucky we got to hear Tool before the world really went tits up. Already waiting for these guys to come back 🤘

[@jaydeeinbriz]

I was there that night too. It was a good show!
