Well, they have won three Grammy awards as of now. Lateralus and 10,000 Days both were #1 selling albums when they were released. I think they'll get in. Posted by Dan on Friday, 09/6/2013 @ 22:45pm |
Just fantastic band. Tool has a unique sound. Been putting out good material over 20 years. I liked the Undertow CD. They have won Grammys for their work & have had #1 CD's. They should be inducted in 2020. KING Posted by KING on Thursday, 02/6/2014 @ 13:00pm |
As much as I realize Maynard James Kennan's lyrical talent and Danny Carey's drum talent, lets face it: it can be hard at times to tell one tool song apart from another.10000 Days had a sound of its own, and I am very excited for the new album that will apparently be released in 2015(?). That said, I myself am still an over enthusiastic fan for Opiate, Undertow, AEnima, and Lateralus. Posted by Devin on Sunday, 06/1/2014 @ 16:21pm |
Cars will probably get nominated 2019. I hope Counting Crows gets in 2019. One of My fav bands with Def Leppard, Bryan Adams,The Black Crowes,Scorpions. My FAV The Cars song probably Drive. I like Orr singing better. KING Posted by KING on Monday, 04/27/2015 @ 20:08pm |
Tool-Wished Duran & Duran and Tool collaborated on a few songs together. It might be some kind of 1,000 on the fantastic meter. They are the leaders of progressive metal and one of the greatest groups of all time. I remember when Prison Sex & Sober came out. Just blew people away. As Enigmaticus would say, Tool deserves immediate induction into the RRHOF. KING Posted by KING on Sunday, 12/20/2015 @ 01:54am |
Tool belongs in there alright. The music is mindbending and the light shows are one of a kind. If this isn't enough, then wait till the new album arrives in July. Posted by Chowmein on Monday, 01/25/2016 @ 16:44pm |
Tool and Radiohead are the Zeppelin and Floyd of Generation X, both still playing making music, and blowing minds. It's a shame if both aren't first ballot. Posted by Chris on Monday, 02/15/2016 @ 23:19pm |
Saw these guys last night at Voodoo Fest in NOLA. Huge crowd for them. Not really my cup of tea, as they are so gloomy. Lead singer was wearing what looked like a SWAT team outfit, including helmet (it is Halloween). Posted by Paul in KY on Sunday, 10/30/2016 @ 09:04am |
@ Paul in KY: Interestingly enough, I was there too. Would've been better if they add a couple of more songs on the list, but they put on a great show. Posted by The Dude on Friday, 04/6/2018 @ 14:57pm |
Glad you were there, Dude! That was a great weekend. Hope to go back to Voodoo sometime. Posted by Paul in KY on Monday, 04/9/2018 @ 06:56am |
Since Kingdom Hearts 3 is finally out and the next Tool album will come out in the next few months, does that mean Half-Life 3 is now around the corner? Oh, and System of the Down has yet to make another album to put out for the fans - it’s been fourteen years. Posted by The Dude on Monday, 01/28/2019 @ 23:32pm |

All of Tool's albums will finally now be up in streaming services like Spotify. I love Tool and they deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but I'm tired of listening to bad quality youtube rips of their songs. Posted by Dave Teves on Tuesday, 07/30/2019 @ 07:22am |

I honestly always thought that no matter how deserving they are, they would never have even the slightest shot at the hall. However, with the release of Fear Inoculum I can't help but wonder whether they'll score a nomination this year. Posted by Jason Dagotto on Sunday, 08/11/2019 @ 15:56pm |

Way over due. If they don't get in, then the Hall of Fame is meaningless. There aren't many bands who have influenced Rock as much as Tool. Posted by Sean on Tuesday, 11/26/2019 @ 22:24pm |

I agree completely with Mr. Keenan. 'Social Media' is a plague on our society. People get stuck in their little silos of affirmation & lose their connection to 'reality', IMO. Posted by Paul in KY on Thursday, 01/21/2021 @ 18:31pm |
Not understanding the Snub Yes not everyone get them , but each album is landmark and note worthy. How many entered as number #1 or 2 13 year layoff and their popularity grows ! All albums in top 10 streamed albums in the same week. Come on now !!Lateralus is considered the greatest song of the 2000's . You have a drummer that is most people's top 10 , great subject matter , epic lyrics and vocals . Talk to bass player , Justin's tones are amazing . Adam Jones I'm simply gonna say underrated. The band has always pushed music as art So why aren't they here ? Maybe the voters need some good earphones or buds and take a listen while looking up true facts about the diversity, influence and impact on pop culture and the musicians music that have followed since 1992 Posted by kris fyock on Tuesday, 11/9/2021 @ 08:53am |
Tool is more then deserving!! BUT . . . progressive is a four letter word for the rock hall. Been attending concerts and an avid music listener of all styles of music since the late 60's and they simply are one of the best rock bands I have listened to and seen. Each album, different and more technical, their concerts are an experience to behold. They have been "Pink Floyd" for many since the early 90's. It would be justice if Tool and Rage Against the Machine would get inducted the same year. Time to get them nominated and IN ! Posted by Jeff Baumgarn on Wednesday, 11/10/2021 @ 16:21pm |
Not in the R&R Hall of Fame, WTF ? Posted by OMF-TOOL Fan on Saturday, 11/20/2021 @ 21:59pm |
Tool is one of the most innovative progressive rock bands around. Their live shows are incredible. A must for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Posted by Carl Hardy on Wednesday, 03/9/2022 @ 13:47pm |
Tool is like Rush in my opinion. Too cerebral to get the credit they deserve until far too late. They'll get in eventually but it will take far longer than it should Posted by Eric E on Monday, 03/14/2022 @ 21:52pm |
Tool has influenced numerous rock bands over their 30 year run. They have defined their own genre and have won many grammy's. They certainly deserve the nod over other acts that have had ZERO influence on rock and roll. Posted by Tom on Wednesday, 03/16/2022 @ 06:36am |
TOOL IS FOREVER . Posted by Adz nevermind on Tuesday, 06/7/2022 @ 08:58am |
Tool's gotta go in. Just saw Rage Against the Machine up for nomination, another band from the 90s with a unique new sound. Tool's creativity and ability to take the listener on a journey is right there with Pink Floyd and Rush but way more amplified. Never have I had so much fun listening to metal that seems to force me to focus on each instrument separately. The guitar scratching and other effects mixed with thunderous drum toms and beautiful vocals that soar in and out of the space. This group figured it out.

Should have been 1st year inductees, but this is a pop rock venue, and not worthy of their presence! Posted by Marty Rowe on Sunday, 11/20/2022 @ 11:14am |
Tool is on another level. I love music from many different genres but I have never heard a band like Tool. Their live performances are flawless, been to many concerts but never seen a band as impeccable and effortless as they are. They should be in the hall especially after seeing who has gotten in before them. The lawsuit most certainly hurt due to them not producing any new work but they are still on a different level. Posted by Sean on Friday, 12/2/2022 @ 15:17pm |
THESE GUYS SHOULD BE IN. They have sold more than 13 million albums. and They are the Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin of our generation. Posted by Tyler Helt on Monday, 01/30/2023 @ 12:17pm |
Without a question. TOOL should be in 100%. Posted by Derek Schram on Thursday, 10/31/2024 @ 17:55pm |
