Tool is not metal. Like I said before it doesn't just take guitars and distortion to be metal. Don't argue that Tool is metal if you don't have a clue about what you're talking about.They're like alternative rock or something. Does Tool sound like Burzum, Mayhem, Darkthrone? No...guess they're not black metal...Does Tool sound like Suffocation, Immolation, Gorguts? Not really...guess they're not death metal...Does Tool sound like Saint Vitus, Candlemass or Reverend Bizarre? No, so they're not really doom metal...Does Tool sound like The Lord Weird Slough Feg, Windir or Graveland? No...so they're not really folk metal.Does Tool sound like (early) Carcass, Repulsion or Terrorizer? No...no grindcore either.Does Tool sound like Jag Panzer, Helloween or Dragonforce? No...guess no power metal either.Does Tool sound like Fates Warning, Symphony X or Queensr
I hate to agree with wiggy on anything, but he's right on target here.If you take away the thumpin bass and the odd electronica, it's alternative. Tool is about as close to metal as Atreyu. (close, but no cigar)
just because the genre contains the word "metal", it doesn't necessarily mean that the music is metal.example : metalcorethey should call it whiny-yelling-alternacore.because there is very little real metal involved.I don't know anyone who would classify tool as "heavy metal" either.maybe progressive and alternative but minus the metal suffixes.
haha better get used to it...I'm always right!
Well you can think that your right all you want. I've always heard that Tool is considered to be Metal and 95% of the net says its Metal. Just because you don't think so and you think you know everything there has to do about metal doesn't mean that you're right. But frankly this is getting boring because you just keep repeating yourself. So you may as well figure out how to copy and paste.By the way, that was not my resource. Try again smart ass. :pLike it or not you are wrong. You just can't admit it! Take the truth and suck on it.

Yawn... can't you just accept that Tool is Metal? What's the big deal. Why do you have to battle it so hard. You are putting way to much effort in to this just to prove a point you obviously can't. You have no solid facts but your own opinions. I'm done. You're pretty boring to argue really.
