Tool

In the late 80's the members of Tool were living in Los Angeles. Maynard James Keenan, Paul d'Amour and Adam James started a band. Danny Carey was already a drummer in Pigmy Love Circus, Carole King and, Green Jelly. Adam Jones and Tom Morello[Maynard does backup vocals on one the tracks on RATM s/t] were high school friends and Tom introduced Danny to the band. Oddly enough Maynard and Danny lived nextdoor to each other. For a while Danny would just fill in whenever whoever they invited just didn't show up. Their first ep, Opiate, was a major success. Shorly after recording Opiate the released Undertow and went on tour with the likes of RATM, The Rollins Band and even played 2nd stage on Lollapolooza. Shortly after the recording process took place for AEnima Paul left the band and 2 months later was replaced by Justin Chancelor, a member of the band Peach. Ænema was dedicated to Bill Hicks who had died 2 years before it's release. In 1997 Volcano Records sued Tool for trying to find a differend label and Tool contersued because they wouldn't renew their contract. It was finally settled at 3 albums. During that time Maynard had formed A Perfect Circle with Tool's guitar tech, Billy Howerdel. In 2000 Tool released Salival which included B-sides and a cover Led Zeppelin's No Quarter. In 2001 the band released Lateralus, toured and, then concentrated on other projects. The much anticipated 10,000 days was released 2 months ago.
