Why Is TOOL So Cool?

September 22, 2006

TOOL was the subject of a recent ABC News report dubbed "Why the Band Tool is Cool". The two-minute segment attempts to explains how TOOL has "found success within a genre eclipsed by pop music." Watch it at this location.

As previously reported, an eight-minute audio interview with TOOL bassist Justin Chancellor, conducted earlier this month by Meltdown of Detroit's WRIF 101.1 FM, has been posted online at this location (Windows Media).

TOOL was forced to cancel its concert at the Kohl Center in Madison, Wisconsin Tuesday night (Sept. 19) due to frontman Maynard Keenan being ill. This is the second concert in a week that has been called off due to the singer not feeling well, following the cancellation of the group's Sept. 12 show at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.

TOOL's fourth studio album, "10,000 Days", has sold 1.22 million copies in the United States since its release in early May.
