I wouldn't describe either as pretentious...far from it.
Musically they've always been honest about their influences. If you mean their overall attitude, then your mistaking pretentiousness for over confidence, bordering on cockiness. Both are typical Mancunians with more front than Blackpool. |
Tool is pretentious fo' sho. I think its almost part of their charm.... for me anyway.

Saying you're the best band in the world isn't pretention , it's confidence / arrogance.
Saying you're the best band in the world and you can do anything you want , so you're going to write a rock opera about the life of Kofi Annan on the xylophone , THATS pretention. |

It reaches the level of pretentious if you start mentioning snooty reasons as to why you are the best band in the world. Merely stating that you are is not quite pretention. It's only delusion and idiocy. |

Apart from the delusion and idiocy bit. |

It's called unswerving self belief.
The very stuff that had them succeed in the first place. It's certainly not delusion, although Liam is an idiot...I'll give you that. ;) |
