Tool performing live in 2006.
Tool is an American progressive rock band from Los Angeles , California . Formed in 1990, the band originally featured vocalist Maynard James Keenan , guitarist Adam Jones , bassist Paul D'Amour and drummer Danny Carey , although D'Amour was replaced by Justin Chancellor in 1995.[ 1] The group released its first demo 72826 in 1991, which credited all four band members for songwriting.[ 2] Opiate was issued the following year, which featured re-recorded versions of 72826 tracks "Hush" and "Part of Me", as well as live versions of "Cold and Ugly" and "Jerk-Off".[ 3] The band released its debut full-length album Undertow in 1993, which once again credited all four band members for songwriting.[ 4] The album also featured a contribution by former Black Flag and then-Rollins Band frontman Henry Rollins , who performed additional vocals on "Bottom".[ 4]
After Chancellor replaced D'Amour, Tool released its second album Ænima in 1996.[ 5] In 2000 the band released the compilation Salival , which featured several previously unreleased studio recordings (including a cover version of the Led Zeppelin song "No Quarter ") in addition to a number of live tracks.[ 6] Tool's third studio album Lateralus followed the next year,[ 7] which was the band's first release to top the US Billboard 200 .[ 8] Five years later 10,000 Days was released, which also topped the Billboard 200 and several other albums charts around the world.[ 8] Tool has been on and off hiatus in recent years, although a long-awaited fifth studio album is currently being recorded as of October 2016.[ 9]
In August 2019, Tool released Fear Inoculum .
Justin Chancellor replaced D'Amour on bass in 1995, first writing and recording on the band's second album Ænima .
