Tool is an
American rock band, formed in
1990 in
Los Angeles,
California, when drummer
Danny Carey joined the rehearsal of his neighbor, singer
Maynard James Keenan, guitarist
Adam Jones and bassist
Paul d'Amour, when nobody else would show up. His decision proved to be a stroke of luck when the band turned out to become a highly successful act, "introducing dark, vaguely underground metal to the preening pretentiousness of art rock" — most notably due to their influential third album,
Ænima (
1996). Here it is!
