Sammy Hagar the new Tool front man…hahaha if you didn’t know that was an April Fools…then fool you are and epic prank it was.
Did you see it?
The joke was that Hagar was joining the band to speed things up on the on-going, years in the works, recording process. They posted a photo of singer Maynard James Keenan and Hagar toasting with some glasses of wine and wrote on their Facebook page, (the post has since been removed booo) “In an effort to nudge the things forward in what seems to be an endless music writing process, Maynard James Keenan has enlisted the help of Sammy Hagar to temporarily replace him as the vocalist for the slow moving internationally recognized rock monster truck, Tool.”
(If you want to see the picture I did find it here)
Keenan added to the post a reference to Hagar’s “I Can’t Drive 55,” writing, “There seems to be this invisible speed limit we’ve been holding ourselves to. I believe Sammy can help us get all pistons firing and break some sound barriers. Sammy is the only vocalist I’m aware of that was able to take an already established Van Halen an even greater distance. Hopefully this shift will help speed things along.”
Hahahahaha good one, yet for some reason I feel like Sammy joining Tool would actually happen…before a new Tool album does.
