A lot of people don't recognize how great Tool is. I really like their music, but I also recognize how immeasurably talented the band is. Adam Jones is a great guitarist who sometime gets overlooked for his...erm..."unconventional" style. Danny Carey is a superb drummer, possibly my favorite modern drummer, and has insane mechanical prowess (listen to his tabla solo on Right in Two). And Maynard is...well...Maynard. There's really no other way to describe that man.

I had heard Tool on local radio stations for years and not thought of them twice. Although I was drawn to Tool by 10,000 Days, I worked backwards, eventually making my way to Undertow. I learned to love their strange opuses like Third Eye (which remains my favorite Tool song) and I began to recognize the brilliance in Aenima and Lateralus (which is my favorite album). I saw them twice live, and they were spectacular both times, combining lighting and sound elements to produce an ethereal effect on the senses. I wholeheartedly think they are one of the best modern bands.

Adam Jones technically speaking is not a great guitarist. But he is good at what he does and fits the bill perfectly for Tool's sound.
