5 First No. 1s: 2001 vs 2015; Destiny's Child, Meek Mill and Blink-182 Face Off
This week marked an unusual accomplishment on the Billboard 200: For the first time in 14 years, the last five no. 1 albums on the chart have been from performers who had never been to the top before. We went back to check out what five albums were hot sellers during that period and compared them to this year's first-timers, to see what "generation" has the better taste. Old millennials, get ready to spar with the young millennials. We lined the albums up from one-to-five, based on where in the order they fell during their respective years. -
U2 Fans Got a Surprise Tool Record When Buying 'Songs of Innocence' Vinyl; Elaborate Promo Stunt?
There's simply no way to get U2's 'Songs of Innocence' without a bit of trouble: The band drew the ire of iTunes users everywhere when listeners found the album forced upon them via the Apple program during September. Now the group has gotten around to releasing a vinyl version of the controversial release and some buyers are finding something else entirely: pressings of Tool's debut EP 'Opiate' instead of the more streamlined 'Songs of Innocence.' Did the alt-metal band pull off the greatest promotional stunt ever, trumping even U2 itself? -

The suit, filed by the band's insurers, had been going on for nearly a decade, 'Rolling Stone' reported.

Tool Offers Album Update from the Studio
It's been somewhat confusing trying to figure out if Tool is recording a new album, but a recent Instagram post has cleared things up.

Kanye West and A Crowd Banter Gone Bad: Featuring Axl Rose, A$AP Rocky and...Barbara Streisand?
Most fan interaction from stage is a good thing...outside of Kanye West's recent complaint about handicapped concertgoers. Bands prostrate themselves before their fans ("You're the best crowd we've ever seen! Really!") and toss out guitar picks and other innocent and grateful displays. But occasionally performers are less than pleased with those in the audience. -
Tool's Danny Carey To Play Drums With Primus On Tour
Though Primus' next album Primus & The Chocolate Factory with the Fungi Ensemble is the band's first with drummer Tim 'Herb' Alexander since 1995, his recent heart troubles will force him to sit out some early dates on the band's upcoming tour. To replace him, Primus has selected Tool's Danny Carey, who will briefly fill in for Alexander in September, including performances at both Riot Fests in Chicago and Denver. -
Music Times Celebrates Pi Day with The Mathematical Music of Tool
Happy Pi Day! March 14 is the one day of the year where people pretend to care about Pi, perhaps the most essential number in geometry, and possibly existence in general (the gravitational constant is a big deal too). Music has a tendency to be mathematic, as much as we'd like to ignore it. One group puts special emphasis on the science behind its music more than most: Tool. In order to honor both the band and Pi (we guess), we've assembled a brief primer on math 'n' the music of Tool. -
Adam Jones Says New Tool Album is Done. Or That's What an Anonymous Source Told Us.
Tool is not a band to release an album every year, or every two years. The group has set a new standard for delay between new records, as it hasn't created anything since 2006's 10,000 Days. There hasn't been a breakup, as the group tours on occasion. Adam Jones, the band's guitarist and leader (realistically), first declared new music was on the way during 2011. And fans have been waiting since then. But the band has set out on a new tour, and Jones was reportedly overheard telling a fan that the new album was done.
