Yesterday we reported the news that TOOL finally announced their new album Fear Inoculum due out August 30th. After the announce, Maynard James Keenan joined his friend Joe Rogan on the podcast “The Joe Rogan Experience.”

When asked about the delays in the new album, Maynard said:
“The four of us are a lot of fucking work, just to get anywhere, oh my god. Everything’s a fucking committee meeting and it always gets shut down. The hurdle is success. When you get successful, you think you’re right about everything and you’re pretty sure as that individual — ‘I am right and you are wrong, because I’m successful and we’re successful because of me, not because of you.’ It’s not that bad with us, but there’s a dynamic of like, ‘I want this and I’ve always gotten my way and that’s why we’re successful, because I don’t compromise on this or that.’ I’m the same way. I’m totally the same way.”
The new album hits retailers on August 30th. No word yet on when we’ll get our first single but you can be sure to hear it on Razor.
