Recently started rocking out to the band Tool.. I can't believe it took me so long to find these guys. But ever since I did a few months ago, I've tried to devour everything I can from them. They're a three-time Grammy award-winning rock band from America, if that gives you any confidence to maybe try them out!
Well I do like rock music, so it seems like a good fit. When did they first form?
They started in 1990, the year I was born, as a matter of fact! They kind of started with a heavy metal sound with the first studio album they made, "Undertow." But then they got really dominant during the alternative metal movement, especially with their second album in 1996, "Ænima."
Hm I like the sounds of heavy metal, seems right up my alley. Do they have any hit singles I should know about?
Well, I'll toss a few out at you.. there's "Sober," "Forty Six & 2," "Schism," "Lateralus," and "Ænema," to name a few. Those will be enough to dip your toes into the waters with.
I think I've heard of Forty Six & 2 actually, it sounds familiar. Who is the lead singer?
That would be Maynard James Keenan! He's actually the vocalist for Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer, so he gets around, so to speak. He's kind of an interesting, talented guy... Along with music, he does acting, improvisational sketch comedy, and... winemaking, oddly enough.
