This is a discography for the American progressive rock/metal band Tool. This also includes tribute albums to the band. For individual songs, see the .
On December 20, 2005, two DVDs were released, one containing the music video single for "Schism" and the other for "Parabola". Also included with each DVD is a dual commentary section and a remix of each song by Brian "Lustmord" Williams. In Europe, the DVD singles were released on January 9, 2006.
Additionally, news on the official website reported that the much-speculated-about live DVD is still in the works as a completely separate project, with the release date still "a great unknown."
With the exception of "Hush", all of Tool's music videos feature stop-motion animation created by Jones, in a style similar to the Brothers Quay. Many were created with the help of outside artists such as Cam de Leon, Alex Grey, the Brothers Strause, and interpretive dance duo Osseus Labyrint.
Radio singles for which no official music videos were made include: "Opiate", "Eulogy", "Forty-Six & 2", "H.", and "Lateralus". The video for "Vicarious" was "nearly finished" in July 2006[3] but has yet to be released, and a similar situation exists for "The Pot".
On Saturday, March 24, 2006, Road Runner Records posted in their news section that the music video for Vicarious will be played on MTV2's Headbanger's Ball. This did not happen. Tool's Stinkfist was played instead.
The String Quartet Tribute has created several Tool tribute albums, the first of which is ''Third Eye Open: The String Quartet Tribute to Tool'' (2001). Tool songs are arranged for classical music string instruments (violins, viola, cello and a double bass) with at least three musicians. The lack of percussion is sometimes countered with "clicking" ''col legno'' and other bowing techniques. Tool's songs are mostly multi-sectioned, and the band's sophisticated grasp of harmony allows for an interesting instrumental interpretation.
''Metamorphic: The String Tribute to Tool Volume 2'' (2003) is performed by two groups of musicians, including the group from ''Third Eye Open''. Other String Quartet Tribute titles include: ''Finding Beauty in the Dissonance: A Piano Tribute to Tool'', ''Chamber Made: The Baroque Tribute to Tool'', ''Anotomica: The String Quartet Tribute to Tool'', and ''The String Quartet Tribute to Tool's Ænima''.
Other tributes to Tool include: ''A Gothic Acoustic Tribute to Tool'', ''Tribute to Tool'' played by various rock artists, and ''Rockabye Baby: Lullaby Renditions of Tool''.
