"I would like to listen to the album by Tool loud"

That sentence speaks volumes to me.

It's a good thing he wanted a band with a nice short name. Imagine if he was a fan of these guys https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Paracoccidioidomicosisp...

I hope that somebody got the man a stereo, and turned it way up. Not just some random bluetooth speaker crap, like a real stereo. Loud, full and clear.
We don't know which Tool album he wanted, although various Rock/Metal sites that posted this article wondered if perhaps the lyrics to "Parabola" might be resonating with him at the moment.
Might as well play them all, it's not like he has anything better to do.
Honestly seems like the perfect choice considering Maynard Keenan's mother, and her struggles being the subject of a bunch of his songs.
10,000 Days couldn’t be more fitting of a request. But given how long he’s been out I think the humane choice would be Fear Inoculum so he could finally get caught up!
Would be cool if some members of Tool visited him when they're in the country.
Just don't tell him about Fear Inoculum. It's better that way.
