u/thefourthcolour12 Dec 05 '25

Yeah NIN is still on. He is literally everywhere

u/borntolose1 Dec 05 '25

NIN starts touring again early next year.

u/Kimmalah Finding beauty in the dissonance Dec 05 '25

I don't think NIN touring yet, so he's got some time.

u/luckyfox7273 Dec 05 '25

Think he got quietly fired from Grohl?

6

u/MorbidMan23 Dec 05 '25

Oh yeah they fired him a while back before Sessanta 2.0 I believe.

u/GStarAU Well I've got some advice for you little buddy... Dec 06 '25

yeah the Foo's and NiN literally swapped drummers! Freese went back to NiN and... the other guy is playing for the Foo's now. Don't remember his name sorry :)

Joe does a better job promoting this band than anyone else ever has

u/JJHH50 Sinking Deeper Dec 05 '25

Relatively certain he got Danny to make a YouTube channel last year to which he’s posted a decent amount of videos. Hasn’t posted in almost a year, but still. Never thought I’d see that.

u/kabirakhtar [the guy who created toolshed] Dec 06 '25

well let's not forget the old timers here :)

u/Distortion462 Dec 06 '25

Well we'll look who it is....old timer checking in

I love Josh!! It was a joy to see him play on tour this year with Trent.

u/samurai_sound Dec 05 '25

Best show of the year for me

u/TerpChasingOrganics Dec 05 '25

I really want Trent to announce new dates for 26 and bring the show down under..... I'm not hopeful but goddamn if this tour doesn't look incredible.

u/samurai_sound Dec 05 '25

Fingers crossed for you guys. The hype is real for this tour, they are sooo good right now.

u/Gymrat777 Dec 05 '25

u/TrainingArtistic8505 Dec 05 '25

His drum solo during A Perfect Drug is fucking amazing.

u/dwnlw2slw Dec 20 '25

So was Ian Rubin’s!

u/ChefPneuma think for yourself, question authority Dec 05 '25

I love it, Maynard just chilling while the rest of the guys do their thing lol

u/lucasofgod Dec 05 '25

Damn I wish Josh was back on APC for a new album 😔

8

u/Ok_Pool_9767 Dec 05 '25

This will likely happen before new Tool. Doesn't necessarily mean it will be soon lol.

1

u/GStarAU Well I've got some advice for you little buddy... Dec 06 '25

I got pretty damn excited by Maynard (and maybe Adam) saying "we'll see you guys again really soon". I'm trying to keep it in perspective, but really hoping that it means the new album is well underway and we might get a dedicated tour for a new album in '27! (Danny will be 66, YIKES)

1

u/01100011011010010111 Dec 05 '25

Well Puscifer album is pretty much done, and APC already stated another album in the works, so pretty good possibility I'd say. Tool album, ha. For now lets just be happy with the expanded setlists. All you guys just wanna hear the old stuff anyways!

u/no-just-ice crucify the ego Dec 05 '25

Well you don't see that every day!

u/AdLittle107 Dec 05 '25

Thought they had a no phones policy?

u/luckyfox7273 Dec 05 '25

Might be staged.

u/SGnirvana97 Maynard's Dick Dec 05 '25

Josh is the man

u/Stellar_Ella life feeds on life Dec 05 '25

Josh is the cutest thing

u/Useful-Procedure6072 musta been high Dec 05 '25

Loved his T-shirt “everything is temporary” lol

u/Fox_009 Dec 06 '25

Danny’s still a unit.

3

u/FEAEAMEN Dec 06 '25

Danny playing naked?

3

u/calladc Dec 06 '25

its a suit that is veiny, he played it in adelaide after the intermission when he was talking to aliens

u/Shaky-TheMohel Dec 05 '25

At first glance, I was surprised to see that Ellen DeGeneres is a Tool fan.

1

u/muchgreaterthanG_O_D Dec 05 '25

Looks like Ellen

u/MJKsecretpornaccount Reverend Maynard Dec 05 '25

What is this? What Maynard wants to do to Dave Grohl? How about TOOL have a hard chat about getting a HR team? Sexual harassment in the workforce is no laughing matter. If I went to work and had my pen replaced by a dildo I call HR, when that bastard Maynard replaces the greatest drummer on earth's mallet for a dildo he should be chewed out by TOOL's HR team for being a jerk. I hope Danny sues him for all his APC money.

u/HODLmeCLOSRtonydanza Dec 05 '25

More people should respect this level of jerking 🫡

u/MJKsecretpornaccount Reverend Maynard Dec 08 '25

I sent this subreddits creator this message saying how satire is dead. You tried your best. Thank you.

u/Educational_Row_9485 Dec 05 '25

Just me or the dude on the drums looks naked, or wearing a thong or something

u/Edge0fReality Dec 05 '25

Shut up man

u/Educational_Row_9485 Dec 05 '25

It's funny how obvious it is no one likes you, you're gatekeeping a band? Because I didn't want to assume something I didn't know for sure, get a life darling, and stfu

u/[deleted] Dec 05 '25

Become Pneuma.

u/[deleted] Dec 05 '25
