Highly decorated TA member AL JONES shared a memory (and photo) on his FACEBOOK PAGE of Danny nearly setting the studio ablaze (as talismanic altars are prone to do without constant vigil) during a recording session on this date.

  Those of us who work for the band wish we could share more news updates that fans would find truly exciting… because we are privy to such things, though are not at liberty to reveal them (Oh, how our fingers tremble above the keys). Not yet, anyway, but the time is coming… and it’s coming sooner than later... that much we can tell you.  Until normality returns, and touring is permitted, these things (yes, plural) we hint of are sure to excite the Tool faithful… yes, very much so, we would think… so stay tuned, and we’ll let you know...

In these unusual times, I believe this might be someone's new normal?  

Here's a VIDEO CLIP taken by the band's tech, SCOTT DACHRODEN of DANNY's drum tracking along with the scratch tracks from the other MEMBERS as the recording process continues to unfold.  Once the principle drum tracks have been finished to everyone's liking, the other members will start to re-record their parts.  In the meantime, Scott has set up multiple cameras in the studio to capture all of the action, which we hope to share from time to time on the Tool websites and socials. https://www.dropbox.com/s/lz15...
