They've been together almost 20 years and have survived more of American Rock's sub-genres than any other band still relevant today - from Thrash to Grunge, Nu-Metal to AOR - but Tool have garnered a respect, from fans and critics alike, that other groups could only dream of; a respect built on raw talent, consistent innovation and sublime ability.
Marked by lead singer Maynard's melodic emoting and a set of powerful yet ethereal rolling guitars that transform the genre's defining instrumental aggression into an aural display of frayed feelers and raw nerves, alternative metal band Tool has cultivated a heavily industrial sound which has put group at the forefront of the genre. The Los Angeles-based group, though they have had their hits, have maintained a place at the margins of rock 'n' roll, which allows them to continually experiment. This ultimate documentary tells the exciting story behind the music through a blend of comprehensive footage from live performances, location shoots, interviews with industry and journalism elite, some words about the band from their closest friends, and more.
