Back in 2015 Tool, etc. frontman Maynard James Keenan took considerable backlash after he described some of the band’s more fanatical fans as being “insufferable.” Maybe he was onto something, given the below exchange between fans and himself that took place on social media earlier this month. The conversation was regarding Tool‘s music still not being available on streaming services:
MetalSucks snagged the above screencap of that exchange, in which Keenan himself was posting via his Puscifer account. That said, while there have been rumors of Tool‘s music making it to streaming services, the band have yet to make the jump thus far. As part of the same conversation above, Keenan did further add:
Or. Make the music available on all formats and give people the choice. Roughly 1/8 of the physical music store locations still exist from the crash in 2006. Some buy both/all btw.

Considering there’s a new Tool album being recorded, it certainly wouldn’t hurt the hype train to bring the band’s music into the current listening format of choice around the album’s eventual release.
