Boy oh boy, we do have a special episode for you this week! It’s a short one — we’ll return to our regularly scheduled full episode this Thursday — but it’s such a rare treat that we had to release it right away.

In our chat with Tool bassist Justin Chancellor we discuss the band’s recently wrapped up tour, jumping back into the studio following the run, the new record being 90% complete (!), how the band members are getting along with one another, seeing YouTube videos of Tool cover bands, and much more. Thanks to Kilpop.com for assisting in setting up this interview.

Meanwhile Brandon and Pete introduce the world to a new seminar, discuss Gene Simmons giving up on the devil horns trademark, and Maynard James Keenan getting “Stockton slapped” by Nate Diaz.
