If you've ever wondered how Tool singer Maynard James Keenan passes the time during Danny Carey's lengthy drum solos, it turns out that the answer is: playing games. Sometimes it's Jenga, as a video the band posted in February revealed. Other times, as a new clip posted just today (March 12th) shows, it's that old electrified board-game favorite Operation — you know, the one where you're supposed to carefully remove tiny plastic items from inside your patient, a.k.a. Cavity Sam, using a pair of tweezers without touching them to the sides of the cavities and setting off the alarm. Not surprisingly, it's a task that's especially challenging when you're right behind the drum kit of one of the greatest percussionists in the world and he's banging the gong. Watch the surgical hijinks below.
