Consistently good bands.

Tool are another but Keenan's disappointing lack of ability to remove his head from his hole and get some music out cancels that out a lot. Waiting 5 years + between each album is a complete pisstake.

5 years = writing/recording/touring/time off/sideprojects for each member isnt that much of a pisstake, but i'll admit i'll be a little annoyed if there's no new album this year.

Adam has artwork on the go
Justin has MT Void
Danny has volto and various session projects
Maynard has Pusifer, winemaking and a bit of APC

My guess is that Tool are being wound up and this will probably the last album. they're all mid to late 40's and danny is 50+

They're gonna go out on a stormer, just read an interview with danny that says justin is kicking their asses this time around, and that they want the album out this year. However, maynard was interviewed while promoting pusifers new stuff and even though his publicist told the interviewer not to ask about tool, he was asked about a new album and said "no new album this year, i've written no songs"

but the nard doesnt write songs on his own does he? plus i dont believe a word he says half the time anyway.

Frost*...helps with only 2 albums, but just wow!

Pearl Jam...its a craft to them, so much passion flowing through it all.

He sounds good enough when singing DT's own stuff but when they covered Number of the Beast he sounded pretty weak in comparison to Bruce Dickinson.

DT would probably be even better with someone like Russell Allen of Symphony X on vocals.

I wouldn't have any interest in hearing bands play covers, so that doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Black Country Communion : Although they are only around a short time they have made three excellent albums and have also released a live double CD. They are a super band live (when they do tour ).
