So what genre would you put Tool in?

They are an alternative rock band.

They are an alternative rock band.

That bugs me the most,

Okay we can differ about metal or not, I do admit that they're at the borderline.

But they may not be labelled as rock.
There isn't a single element in their music that is familiar with rock.

But you may call their genre what you like, makes no difference to me.

One can also call them a Kroatian disco influenced bebop jazz band, and get away with it.

 

[Nyarlathotep]

You are all probably wrong. Deal with it.

That is the only definate in this thread.....

Oh, and genres suck ****. There are only THREE tr00 genres:

1)Good
2)Bad
3)Vegetarian Progressive Grindcore

Tool is #3

Whateber, when I'm listening to Tool I'm not listening to rock.

And I am not Maynard's grandmother...

Could it be that all this time they've been working on various themes of "Lick My Love Pump"?

I wouldn't take the word "progressive" in my mouth when I talk about Tool.

Progressive music is more complicated, more melodic, more based on technique...

Indeed they must be

Are you trying to say TOOL isn't complicated, melodic, and based on technique.....

What are you smoking man?!
