Tool: Maynard James Keenan's band doesn't have a unique reason for staying away from digital music – like many on this list, he doesn't want his band's work consumed in random pieces. The band's music isn't on iTunes or Spotify and it has never allowed its label to split up its songs into a greatest-hits collection.
After years of keeping their music off streaming services, Tool have finally added their back catalog to Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, Amazon Music, Pandora, TIDAL, Google Play, and more.
As of press time for this article, three days and change after the band's music went live on streaming services, Tool's top ten tracks on Spotify are performing quite well, with six of them garnering between 1 and 1.2 million streams and the remaining four all sitting above 700,000.
Of course, there are also a number of artists who are not available for streaming on any service. These include The Beatles, Garth Brooks, Bob Seger and Tool.
Tool's Music Will Be Available to Stream on Apple Music and Spotify From This Friday. Rock band Tool this week announced that it will be putting its back catalog of albums on all streaming platforms beginning this Friday, August 2 (via Pitchfork).
The band's music isn't on iTunes or Spotify and it has never allowed its label to split up its songs into a greatest-hits collection. Gotta respect those principles." Thank the heavens! TOOL is streaming now for all to experience in high quality on spotify and other platforms!!!
Tool says that its catalog will come to Apple Music, iTunes, and other streaming services this Friday, August 2nd.
Why has Tool's fifth album taken so long to make? Here's the full story of every road block, distraction and creative impasse that's caused the 13-year wait. After playing over 200 concerts from 2006 to 2007, Tool essentially went on hiatus in 2008, performing zero shows and beginning a decade of minimal touring.
On Spotify, Tool has a mere 3 million monthly listeners and each of their albums boasts over millions of play throughs, with hits being in the tens of millions of streams.
Fans have been clamoring for a new Tool record for almost nine years. Last summer, the band revealed one of the major reasons for the delay was a multi-million dollar lawsuit involving their insurance company suing them over “technicalities†in a copyright case and a subsequent series of countersuits.
