Tool has won three*Grammy Awards, performed worldwide tours, and produced albums topping the charts in several countries.

The band emerged with a*heavy metalsound on their first studio album,Undertow*(1993), and later became a dominant act in the*alternative metalmovement with the release of their second album,*Ænima, in 1996. Their efforts to unify musical experimentation,visual arts, and a message of personal evolution continued with*Lateralus(2001) and the most recent album,10,000 Days*(2006), gaining the band critical acclaim and commercial success around the world.

Due to Tool's incorporation of visual arts and very long and complex releases, the band is generally described as a style-transcending act and part of*progressive rock,*psychedelic rock*and*art rock. The relationship between the band and today's*music industry*is ambivalent, at times marked by*censorship*and the band's insistence on privacy.

Nothing worse than proof to shut the trolls up.

They are progressive rock. There's a difference between rock and metal hence the thread ROCK/METAL.

Know your genres and now you know.

And knowing is half the battle.

Nothing like someone accidentally undermining their argument with their own evidence. Oh, and for that to be evidence of any kind, you're going to need to post a link to where you found that, or else we have no way of knowing whether or not you wrote that yourself.

Tool isn't a metal band. If you think so then you shouldn't be on the Internet describing things to people about music.

Of course they're metal, so do us a favour and stop trolling.

Not trolling but I know who the trolls are now.

Tool are progressive rock. Same genre as King Crimson.

Batlord, Ki, Frownland = trolls

Can't admit when they're wrong and have their lapdogs come rushing when they feel threatened.

Tool isn't metal hahahaha

If you think so you're ****ing stupid or saying it just to say it.

~~Neurotripsicks~~ · 07-19-2015, 12:20 PM

And you all wonder where the good posters went and why they left.

Have a pretty good idea.

BTW Batlord that reply earlier made absolutely no sense.

Talk to me when you attain music knowledge.
