Tool news at the Tool Hotline

According to Danny, dont expect a new album or movie any time soon. In this recent interview with livedaily.com, Danny squashes any hope of a new record in fashionable time,

"We're lucky that we're accepted, that we can take five years in between records, where most bands can't get away from that. It's not like we aren't conscious of it. But we really just don't want to come out and repeat ourselves. I think that's what it takes. You kind of have to grow as people and have time to sort of have a sabbatical and learn something new on your instrument before you can make another record and not repeat yourself. We try to be more conscious about the quality of the product rather than how long it takes to put it out."

And when asked about any movie projects,

"We talked about it for a long time. There's no definite plan yet. We probably won't do one until we do another record, I'm thinking, so it'll be awhile down the line when we pull that off. We're doing really well just doing our albums and doing the live shows, so there's no reason to interrupt that process now. To take on something like a movie would mean probably at least three years in the making, so it'll be a big vacation in the public's eye. I don't think we're ready to go that route yet. Somewhere down the line we may. We'll see how it works out."

Very good interview, thanks to Clark for the tip.
