EP 33. Are Tool Fans Called Handymen?
On paper, Tool would seem like the perfect band for The New Dad Rock. And perhaps they are. It's just that Steve and Keith never really got into them beyond Sober or after 1993. To remedy this, Keith invited his friend Eric in for a discussion on all things Tool. Included are steps on how to get into Tool and a first-hand testimonial on their brilliance. Also, one of their most popular songs is called Stink Fist.
If you are interested in delving deeper, here are some entry-level songs that may just set you down this parabolic path to Tool super fandom.
