It looks like new Tool Music videos are on the horizon. In a recent feature published on Revolver, guitarist and occasional video director Adam Jones revealed that the band have “big plans” for future music videos. “We’ve got a couple in the making, and you’ll see them when they come out,” he revealed.

“We had those moments where we really had to step back and take a break from each other and then seriously wonder whether we were ever going to get through it.”
