Keenan explained: “I was at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, in the company of Wolfgang (Van Halen, editor’s note) and some other guys, I even believe of Robert Trujillo. We were around and we said: ‘Turn voice that there will be a Black Sabbath concert’. I thought, well, we do something. Suddenly I am at home and I am a call: asked to make a song ‘, so I have to call Wolfgang and those other guys and say:’ I’ll do it with the tools, sorry ‘. “

While Keenan tells him he admitted that he was not particularly optimistic that the Tool they could agree to participate in the ‘Back to the beginning’ And, to tell the truth, it was not even sure that the event would take place. “Initially we refused because I thought: ‘I don’t know how it will go’. I thought: ‘I imagine I could get on a plane and go to make the song with a couple of guys, rather than drag the whole band. With the tools, nothing is easy. Nothing is a simple decision. It always ends up being something difficult, so I didn’t think it would be realized. But then everyone said, so let’s do it. Okay, then let’s do it.”

The leader of Tool He then spoke of his love for Ozzy and attributed great merit of having become a musician right Black Sabbath. “The reason I am on a stage is the first album of the Black Sabbath. It is just a matter of timing, like everything in life. Dating a band that you liked very much as a child and you are all excited, but they don’t know. They were just playing songs. It all depends on where you were, how old you were, what was happening in your life.”

It was the right time. I am sure that there was another music that was presented to me at that time, but I don’t remember because it was not resonated to me. Not all the celestial bodies aligned at that moment because it resonated. So that first album had a resonance, and also the album” Blue “by Joni Mitchell had a resonance, all in a very short period of time and made me passion More than I would have made listening, the Jackson 5 or who for them. “
