I don't necessarily hate Tool. As I said, I love Jones. I prefer A Perfect Circle over Tool because I think that A Perfect Circle is much more relaxed and just tries to play good music instead of trying to look really strange.
Yeah definitely, their fans, IMO, are the most annoying aspect of Tool. But I honestly don't think they try to be 'strange' to simply get them cool points. I don't even think they're really that strange or experimental or amazingly different. And I hate the fans (which happens to be most of them) who think that Tool are the most philosophical and experimental band on the planet and put them on such a huge pedestal.

I can see how you'd think they're are a bit overdone but I don't think they set out to do this purposefully to gain kudos.
