TOOL : New Album 2018??

[MiRo2]

I thought there was a legal dispute between the label and Tool that prevented any new works from "Tool", hence Perfect Circle.

I wasn't aware of any legal issues, I was under the impression Maynard wanted to spread his imagination wings so banded up with other musicians to create fresh new music.

He also fronts Puscifer, not just A Perfect Circle.

I think Tool had its time, and Maynard has long since moved on.

Uh no. APC is a project with longtime Tool guitar tech Billy Howerdel. It's just one of the projects Maynard got involved with because he was tired of waiting (in the most recent case, over a decade) for Tool to write the instrumentals for a new album.

I remember a Marc Maron interview with Maynard. I felt sorry for him because they guy apparently always wanted to do humor and be funny. But his jokes sucks and he's just not funny. He knew this and said it himself.

So he wants to be funny. Is not funny. And worst of all is smart enough to know that he isn't funny and all the kiss-asses around him laugh because he's the guy from Tool et al.

I guess no one can have it all.
