Mastodon Gets Pranked by Tool 2006-12-17 by Jom | 16 Comments | Mastodon, who has been nominated for a Grammy for Best Metal Performance, is still continuing its European tour with Tool. This past Friday, the opening band was pranked by the headliner in a bizarre series of events involving apes.

The reason why Tool donned the ape costumes and pranked the band onstage is unclear at this time.
