But if you want to be in a band and write music, then you should just be in a band and write music.

My approach is to be part of a band that makes music, not hit songs.

When you don't know what the band looks like, it puts the emphasis on thinking and taking the music and message more seriously.

Everyone in Tool is interested in how we present our music. We write a group of songs that have a vibe, energy and feeling, and then we try to pick an image to capture that and communicate a feeling. We want something that adds to the connection with the audience.

If you can just be yourself, then you have to be original because there's no one like you.
