Can’t wait. Can not wait.

Finally!…an artist worth buying Guitar Hero for!

looks pretty cool. at first i wasn’t too sure how i would reeact to tool being on guitar hero, but now seeing this i have my hopes up. Nice video. tool is awesome.

This is against everything I thought tool was…

i feel the same as DAN..
i mean tool has been “Selling out” now more than they used to but this was the icing on the cake..so i thought.. i love them regardless favorite band…but when i heard they would be on GH i was disappointed in them..now that i know how much they were involved then im ok with it……….sorta LOL

tool is my favorite band. if you want to play to the masses, YOU GOT TO BE ON GH, dont hate the player, hate the system!!!

Robert: I’m sure Tool would be really happy to know that you approve now that you’ve heard of their involvement in designing.

Robert: I’m sure Tool can rest easy now that you’ve given your approval based on their involvement in the design. Wouldn’t want you to be disappointed!

Why does anyone care about this band anymore? Clearly their popularity is not what is once was and they are attempting to remain relevant. Very sad.

Selling out? Have you guys never even listened to “Hooker with a Penis”? Come on. Tool is out for fame and money just like anybody else. They make great music, but they are still human beings. Having one song, let alone three, is an honor to any guitar player and band.

Why should Tool be above thinking that GH is a cool game that they’d want to be a part of. Why is making their music more accessible a form of “selling out?” Those of you saying they are selling out simply don’t understand the purpose of art and must simply listen to Tool for your own pretentious reasons.

Am I the only Tool fan who has heard Hooker With A Penis? The sellout process began long ago which pretty much comes with the territory in that industry. And how can you question the relevance of a band like Tool compared to the Nickelbacks and Buckcherrys that dominate the industry yet bring nothing new to the table. Tool pushes everything to a whole new level. Show give credit where credit is due.

TOOL is an amazing, very unique band. But they are also one of the biggest selling hard rock bands.. They know how to play the industries ‘game’…

If the guys in the band think playing GH is great fun and not ‘below’ what the band has become, why should the fans? Need to get over yourselves.

I just have to say, I’m not sure Bryan and Boomer understand irony… Hooker with a Penis is meant to be ironic…

Who cares about sellouts anyways??? If they’re still making amazing albums and unspiring ten of thousands then just let it be!

They’re one of a kind and that’s that!!!

I thought tool was a BAND not a selling machine thing, this is so bad i mean tool in guitar hero sucks is just i dont know very dissappointed with them

Alex Grey deserves MUCH better

What’s the difference between having your music on COMMERCIAL radio and Guitar Hero? They havn’t edited the songs on either so there is no difference.

You guys are a bunch of pretentious fools.

I guess since Craig hasn’t seen a new Tool video on MTV since 1996 he believes “their [sic] popularity is not what is [sic] once was.” No, they’re not as big as they used to be…they only headline Bonnaroo and Coachella, their albums only go platinum, and they only win Grammys. Yes, Guitar Hero is the only way they’re staying relevant in 2008 (it has nothing to do with their love of video games). The only sad part is that Craig is missing out on Tool’s evolution from a buzz bin band to a classic act.

When Tool had Cam De Leon as an artist for the Aenima album the msuic was varied, progressive and interesting much like his art. Then when Alex Grey came intot he fold the music began to get monotonous, stale and pretentious much like Alex Grey’s art. Tool should really change their artist for the next album because Alex Grey sucks.his style is the same and once you’ve seen one piece of his you’ve seen them all. This is why art and music go hand in hand.

This should take nothing away from what TOOL has done to music and art for the passed nearly two decades. you can’t blame the guys for FINALLY reaching out to the public AND their fans for once. If you’re a TOOL fan and you question their credability because of this, then you should be deeply ashamed

Hooker With A Penis was written as a response to those who claimed TOOL was “selling out” this song is not saying that they only care about money and fame, it is, in fact, stating the exact opposite by directly pointing out the faults with blind consumerism. Whoever used hooker with a penis as an example to how TOOL HAS sold out is completely retarded and needs to listen to the music

I think I just creamed my pants…

who is ‘tool’

What’s the problem when a band, who’s musical achievements stand on their own, reach out and help inject a little bit of creativity and artistic integrity into the mainstream? Being a huge fan myself, I find it hugely comical when Tool fans get all antsy in their pantsy when their Beloved Tool tries to pump a little bit of decent rock into the mainstream. Tool working with Guitar Hero doesn’t lessen their integrity, it boosts Guitar Heroes’ by showing their openness and willingness to work with a band that has clear and distinct goals in music. Their music and credibility hasn’t been diluted by their involvement — if anything their progression and unique musical style might inspire otherwise brain-dead video-gamers to take an interest in music other than the mediocre alt-rock MTV bands of today.

what song is that playing in the background? and does anyone know where i can download it?

Sell out schmell out. This is TOOL giving their fans exactly what they want. I applaud them for this. Hopefully we see full TOOL albums available for GH. Anyone who thinks this “goes against what TOOL stands for” doesn’t get TOOL. Its about engaging, transcending, enveloping, Guitar Hero is the perfect vehicle for that.

I think that if anyone has the right point here it is Tule because tool had the right mind to say hey if we are going to be in the game then we should get what we want to be in the game. Tool is not a sell-out band. If you have ever seen any interviews or videos or even listend to the music you would know that Tool does not sell out.

Tule is right.

TooL is one of the greatest rock bands ever.
Plus they run the show…always have…always will!

id buy the rumoured live dvd 10x over this crap.

where is it ? come oon tooooool … sigh

Tool is the BEST!

HOW THE FUCK DO YOU GET ALL THE OTHER SONGS JIMI HENDRIX, SYSTEM OF A DOWN, TOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! how the fuck do i get em people

First if all, art is subjective.
Guitar Hero is a super fun game.
Tool has never and will never “sell out”.
Anyone who compares them to any other band is a fool.
They are the best and they can do whatever they want.

p.s. I found a code online to unlock all the songs on PS3. Go search for it.

Man, those 3 songs they picked for GH suck, and are BORING to play. I hope all Tool songs don’t sound like these…

u guys all suck, u claerly know nothing of tool, or what they are about, try opening ur mind befoe opening ur mouths, retards

The best aspect of Tool contributing to the Guitar Hero series is the change-up from the normal “4 guys on stage” been there done that, blah, blah, blah…
Having the artwork in the background is how they like you to experience their music.. same as the live shows.
They arent on stage to entertain you with how many backflips they can do in one song… if anyone has seen Tool live, they will tell you that it’s about the visual stimulation as well as audio.
So, my suggestion is, if you don’t like it, don’t play it.
(and to the “tool” that was asking how to play the songs… you have to pay to play Tool.)

Adam jones loves playing guitar hero that’s why they did it.

Just played the Tool set on Guitar Hero and regardless if they did or didn’t sell out, I found the songs to be long and boring as to how it relates in the game. I mean Mozart was a great artist too, but his style of music wouldn’t be that fun to play on GH either.

The length of the song, the repetitiveness of the music, the in game price to play the set (8,000 vs 2,000) shows a level of self indulgence I don’t care for in a game that isn’t supposed to take itself so seriously.

good support for the band, and all, but any fan will answer the “sell out” accusations w…sold out long before you ever even heard my name…sold my soul to make a record, dip**it… and you bought one…

Gotta say, TOOL is my favorite band of all time. Who are we to judge that they decide to be on GH? I was thrilled; it’s the only reason I even bought a ps3, and the entire World Tour set-up. Who wouldn’t want to rock out to your favorite band?? How is this even an argument?

If you think Tool sold out to put 3 of their songs on a video game that gets a sequal every year… your an idiot. If you think Tool sold out even though they havent lisenced any of their material since 1996 (which is stated in the article), you are ignorant. If you still think Tool sold out and the fact that they did is significantly different than the dozen other artists on that game, of which bands are of the same status/tier of Tool (kinda, Tool kicks ass), that the world will end, that all Tool friends should stop their fandom, that Tool isnt and no longer be the great band that is unlike any other (i have ever heard), you are a stubborn fool. Tool did not, will not, ever sell out in anyway shape or form. Thank you if you had the patience to read all the way through… Tool is the greatest
