Tool Fans Brace Yourselfs
In the latest new we learnt that, Tool is reportedly in talks to finally make their entire musical catalog available on streaming services ahead of their upcoming fifth studio album.
According to Bloomberg, Maynard James Keenan and Co. are in talks with multiple streaming services, including Spotify and Apple Music, about the best way to release their music online.
The long-anticipated untitled fifth album will be Tool's first album in over a decade, and the release marks the first time that fans will be able to legally download and stream the greatest rock band of the 90's. With Metallica giving in and allowing their catalog to be streamed via Spotify in 2012 (wow, it's been that long already?), Tool is the last big metal band that continues to refuse joining the digital age.
Not surprisingly, Bloomberg could not reach Maynard for comment and the music streaming services declined to comment altogether. It is kind of crazy to see Tool, of all bands, make Bloomberg's financial radar, but I guess that happens when your arena dates sell out in 60 seconds or less.
Tool is no doubt trying to capitalize the best way possible now that the revenue from streaming services is giving the music industry growth for the second consecutive year in a row since the pre-Napster era of the 1990's.
Bands and musicians in other genres have almost all given in to the lure of streaming services, as Prince's catalog was put online in February. Whoever manages The Beatles' music gave in several years ago. Garth Brooks and Church of Satan clone Taylor Swift are the only two artists that come to my mind that are still refusing to join Spotify, although I think you can stream the latter on another platform.
What do you think? I think new tool album is on the way cause we learn that frontman Maynard James Keenan is spending his time in a studio !!! I think now its the right time for a new Tool album !
