Kabir maintained a Tool FAQ for Will's site. Kabir and Shane decided to jump ship and Kabir started his own Tool site (which would become toolshed.down.net) in 1995. It had only three sections, one of which was the discography. Due to space constrictions, the discography was moved to a different server in 1997. It is still maintained exclusively for tdn. In 2000, we finally registered and pointed www.tooldiscography.com 1.8 - What is the discography's affiliation with Amazon.com? The discography is a member of Amazon.com's Affiliates program.

When Salival was released in December 2000, only about 150,000 copies were made. In this first run, the accompanying booklet was rife with spelling errors. Despite being released so late in 2000, the set was one of the best-selling homevideo releases of the year. Consequently, the set became difficult to find through January 2001 until the mistakes were corrected and a second (corrected) run was completed. In April 2001, VHS versions of the set became scarce. It is rumoured that only 2,000 PAL versions of the videocassette were released in the UK. The DVD versions are not region-specific. 2.5.2 - What are the sources of the Tool songs on this recording?
"Part of Me" and "Hush"
"Prison Sex" and "Sober"
"Stinkfist", "Pushit", "Ænema", and "Third Eye" 2.5.3 - "Hush" is not on the tracklist? The video for "Hush" is included on the DVD but not the VHS version of Salival. Although it is not readily noticeable, it can be accessed from one of the "hands" on the DVD menu screen. 2.5.4 - The Dr. Timothy Leary sample in "Third Eye" The Dr. Timothy Leary sample in "Third Eye" is from Timothy Leary - How to Operate Your Brain (1993). 2.5.5 - Who wrote and popularized "You Lied"?

"LAMC" (track 08) is an acronym for 'Los Angeles Municipal Court'. 2.5.8 - "Maynard's Dick" is not on the tracklist? After about 20 seconds of silence after "LAMC", the song "Maynard's Dick" starts (at approximately 7:10). The song is sometimes referred to as "La pica de Maynardo". 2.5.9 - Where can I find more information on the videos on Salival? Salival is listed in the Internet Movie Database (IMDb). 2.6 - Lateralus Lateralus is Tool's 4th studio recording and 5th release. It was recorded in Hollywood and North Hollywood CA, USA in 2000-2001. The CD was released on May 15, 2001 on Volcano Entertainment II / Tool Dissectional. Lateralus was certified two times platinum in the USA on August 5, 2003. In May 2001, preorders for Lateralus included a vinyl version that became "indefinitely delayed" as its June 2001 release date approached. In the December 2001, the toolband.com newsletter it was said that Volcano II is contractually obligated to release Tool's recording in vinyl format and that version of Lateralus will have to split "Disposition | Reflection | Triad" over two sides. Lateralus was released on LP in August 2005. The format is a double-vinyl effort on 4 picture discs, packaged in a special plastic gatefold with holographic foil. 2.6.2 - What's the difference between CD versions listing track 09 as "Lateralis" vs. "Lateralus"?

In April 2002, rumours began to circulate that the band still intended to release the DVD and that it would be available sometime during the band's May / June stint with Ozzfest 2002 in Europe. On December 20, 2005, Tool will release two DVD singles for "Schism" and "Parabola" with "extras".
3.1 - What's the difference between Tool singles and Tool promos? Tool singles are commercially-available (while they are in print) and include live material. Tool promos are not commercially-available (it is against the law to sell them) and meant for radio stations and "freebies". Promos (usually) include two songs: the album version and a shortened or censored version of one song, or selections from an official release. 3.2 - Where can I find CD singles? The singles are out-of-print and difficult to find. Try the Global Electronic Music Marketplace (www.gemm.com) or eBay (www.ebay.com). 3.3 - Prison Sex 3.3.1 - What's on the cover? Artwork by Todd Tomlinson (signed as TT). 3.3.2 - Pressings and packaging The disk (74321 19432-1) was pressed on white or marbled vinyl The CDs are packaged in slimline jewel cases or cardboard sleeves. The UK version (74321 19432-2) is packaged in a slimline jewel case. The other two singles, however different, were given the same catalogue number (74321-19049-2) but are packaged in a slimline jewel case (the 4-song German version) or a cardboard sleeve (the 5-song Australian version). 3.4 - Sober 3.4.1 - What's on the cover? One of the "Medicine Twins" by artist Cam de Leon. 3.4.2 - What is Sober - Tales from the Darkside? Also known to collectors as Sober + 8, this recording is a CD single imported from the Netherlands where it was released by Zoo/BMG. Its namesake is a now-out-of-print bootleg released in 1993 by Kiss the Stone Records. 3.4.2.1 - Is it the same as the bootleg? Yes. It contains the same songs. 3.4.2.2 - What's the story behind this recording? Kiss the Stone created the Tales from the Darkside bootleg from a six-song Westwood One Radio Networks live CD called High Voltage (see Promotional Releases) and added two extra songs. The band retaliated: "as you know, we hate bootlegs. so we attached the bootleg to some european releases to squash the import cost." (see also 5.5) 3.4.3 - Pressings and packaging The CDs are packaged in slimline jewel cases or cardboard sleeves. The Tales from the Darkside (Dutch) version (74321 22604 2) is packaged in a slimline jewel case. The other two DE and AU singles, however different, were given the same catalogue number (74321 21849 2) but are packaged in a slimline jewel case and a cardboard sleeve (respectively) and list the same tracks. The CD in the slimline jewel case erroneously lists track 01 as "Sober (album version)" when it is actually, "Sober (edit)".
4.1 - Where can I find imports? Try the Global Electronic Music Marketplace (www.gemm.com), eBay, (www.ebay.com), or CDEurope (www.cdeurope.com). 4.1.1 - Why haven't you included the German imports? "Tool" is also the name of a trance/ambient band from Germany. Extasy, All I Need Is, and Return of the Gold are three of their releases. Be careful. 4.2 - Undertow (double CD) 4.2.1 - Are the live songs on the second disc the same as found on Sober - Tales from the Darkside? Yes. 4.3 - Undertow (clean) 4.3.1 - Are the songs on this CD censored? No. Apart from the artwork being different, this CD is no different than the standard version of Undertow. The liner notes include a coupon that can be used to receive the standard artwork. However, it is unknown whether this offer is still valid. The note explaining this version of the CD and the offer can be found here.
5.1 - Where can I find promos? Try the Global Electronic Music Marketplace (www.gemm.com) or eBay (www.ebay.com). 5.2 - Tool (72826) - the 4-track demos 5.2.1 - Where can I get this recording?

It is packaged in a relatively plain jacket with no sleeve art. The majority of the disks were pressed on grey vinyl with a minority pressed on translucent vinyl. 5.4 - Sober (ZP17121-2) 5.4.1 Cover or no cover? Many collectors are most familiar with this CD having only a back insert (depicting staples closing a wound in Maynard's head) and the CD being screened with a collage of forks. Front cover inserts for promo CDs are often flimsy and are lost or discarded. 5.5 - Westwood One - High Voltage The Westwood One - High Voltage CD contains Tool's live performance of August 6, 1993 at Lollapalooza in Irwindale, CA. It was recorded and edited for North American radio stations by Westwood One. Tool's performance is actually on disc two of a two-CD set. The first CD features a live performance by Type O Negative. (see also 3.4.2) 5.6 - Ænima Advance (ZMJ 11O87) - studio master 5.6.1 - What is a "studio master"? A recording that, presumably, has been mastered at the same studio it has been mixed at. Most recordings are mastered at a mastering facility. For security purposes (since this was a CD made before Ænima was released for public consumption), the cardboard sleeve has been numbered. 5.7 - Selections from Ænima (ZP17210-2) 5.7.1 - How was this CD packaged? This CD was released in a regular jewel case without a front insert in the US and in a slimline jewel case in the UK. 5.8 - The 10" promo (ZP17211-1) - aka Stinkfist 5.8.1 - What's on the cover? The "Medicine Twins". 5.9 - The 12" promo (ZP17666-1) - aka Cesaro Summability 5.9.1 - What's on the cover? Side A is a reproduction of Pneuma I by Ramiro Rodriguez.

The AM version is edited (and appears in the discography as an edit) and the PM version is intact (and appear in the discography as the album version). 5.12 - Salival Advance (VOL31158-2 / 9210102P) 5.12.1 - What is the difference between this and the official Salival release? Salival Advance is only the CD in a Digi-Pak case (VOL31158-2) or slimline jewel case (9210102P) from the CD/DVD or CD/VHS set.
6.1 - No rarities? There are no unreleased Tool songs on non-Tool recordings or compilations. 6.2 - Outtakes, rarities, remixes, and red herrings There are several bootleg CDs that have been/are being sold at eBay (www.ebay.com) as "rarities" CDs. Some of the songs on these CDs are not Tool songs. The following is a guide. Amazing Grace / Tool + Tori Amos "Amazing Grace / Til the Chicken", Tori Amos' duet with bassist George Porter Jr. is sometimes credited to "Tool and Tori Amos". The song can be found on Tori Amos - Talula (1996). (see also Tori Amos in 9.8). Calling Dr. Love (see Shandi's Addiction in 9.8) Comfortably Numb Tool has never performed or recorded a cover version of Pink Floyd's "Comfortably Numb". Versions available are (apparently) a mislabelled demo version of the song by Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour. Commando During the latter half of the Lateralus tour, Tool covered Ramones' "Commando", dedicating the song to Joey (Ramone) and Dee Dee (Ramone) who died in 2001 and 2002, respectively. Versions available are bootleg live audio. The song was written by Joey Ramone, Dee Dee Ramone, Johnny Ramone, and Tommy Ramone, and recorded by their band, Ramones. The original can be found on Ramones - Leave Home (1977). Demon Cleaner A couple of times during the Ænima tour, Tool was joined onstage by Scott Reeder (bassist - ex-Kyuss) for a cover version of Kyuss' "Demon Cleaner". Versions available are bootleg live audio. The song was written by John Garcia, Josh Homme, Scott Reeder, and Brant Bjork, and recorded by their band, Kyuss. The original can be found on Kyuss - Welcome to Sky Valley (1994). Divorced (see Melvins in 9.8) Even Flow (live) / Pearl Jam + Tool Tool (collectively or individually) has never performed Pearl Jam's "Even Flow" (with or without Pearl Jam). Hooker with a Penis (lounge version remix) During some of the Ænima tour, a re-recorded version of "Hooker with a Penis" was played over the P.A. during some shows accompanied by a projected video footage. The song was re-recorded by Maynard Keenan and Billy Howerdel (A Perfect Circle). It was never released. Versions available are bootleg live audio. H. (Kundalini remix) In 1997, "H." was remixed by Hagman (www.hagman.nu). Versions available are from mp3s released by the band. Judgment Night / (Kill the) Revolution In mid-1998, someone managed to procure (allegedly from Sony Music) a copy of an unreleased Tool / Rage Against the Machine collaboration recorded as a demo in 1993. It is said that both bands participated (excluding Adam Jones). It is widely believed that the song was recorded for anticipated inclusion on the soundtrack for the movie, Judgment Night. The song's real title is unknown. It was never released. Versions available are demo quality. Judith / Orestes (demo) / Diary of a Lovesong (see A Perfect Circle in 9.8) Know Your Enemy (see Rage Against the Machine in 9.8) Muhammad My Friend (see Tori Amos in 9.8) No Quarter Tool's cover of Led Zeppelin's "No Quarter" was recorded in 1996. It was remixed and remastered in 2000 for inclusion on Salival. Before Salival's release, the song was leaked in late 1999 in an inferior quality format. See also 2.5.5 Passenger (see Deftones in 9.8) Prove It / Skeptical Tool has never performed or recorded a song called "Prove It" or "Skeptical. The songs are actually "Prove to You" and "Skeptic" (respectively) by Chevelle. The songs can be found on Chevelle - Point #1 (1999). Santa Monica & Orange (see Love Jones in 9.8) Silly Love Songs (see Replicants in 9.8) Stinkfist (Skinny Puppy remix) In 1997, Skinny Puppy producer and unofficial 4th member, Dave "Rave" Ogilvie created two remixes (each) of "Stinkfist" and "Forty Six & 2" with James Cavalluzzo (Malhavoc). The remixes were never released but one version of "Stinkfist" got out. Versions available are either recorded from a radio broadcast or from leaked CDs. Stranglehold At times during the Ænima tour, Tool was joined onstage by Buzz Osborne (singer and guitarist - Melvins) for a cover version of Ted Nugent's "Stranglehold". Versions available are bootleg live audio. The song was written and recorded by Ted Nugent. The original can be found on Ted Nugent - Ted Nugent (1975). Studio outtakes Also included on Salival is "Maynard's Dick", an outtake from the Opiate sessions, as well as "Message to Harry Manback II" and "LAMC" from the Ænima sessions. Wrong Way Tool has never performed or recorded a cover version of Sublime's "Wrong Way". Versions available are (apparently) a mislabelled live version of the song by Sublime. You Lied / Spasm Versions available are bootleg live audio (Tool) or CD quality (Peach). See also 2.5.4 and Peach in 9.8). 6.3 - What ever happened to...? Tool and Rage Against the Machine were rumoured to have recorded a song for Various Artists - Judgment Night (1993) that was not included. In 1998, a song surfaced that seemed to support this (see also Judgment Night / (Kill the) Revolution above). In a 1994 co-interview with R.I.P. magazine, Henry Rollins mentioned to Maynard that he was trying to get Tool on Various Artists - Johnny Mnemonic (1995), a film he was appearing in. It never happened. Tool's cover of "No Quarter" was intended for release on Various Artists - Encomium: A Tribute to Led Zeppelin (1995) but the band was not willing to edit the song for length. The song was remastered and released on Tool - Salival (2000) instead. Howard Stern approached Zoo Records to have "No Quarter" included on Various Artists - Private Parts (1997). Although the record company agreed, the band did not, leading to years of Stern badmouthing the band. And, no...the fact that Helmet is on 3 of the 4 above soundtracks has nothing to do with Tool's decision to not participate. 6.4 - What about promo compilations?
7.1 - Video compilation 7.1.1 - Is there an official video compilation? Yes. In late 2000, Salival was released and includes a VHS and DVD compilation of the uncensored videos for "Sober", "Prison Sex", "Stinkfist", and "Ænema". "Hush" is included as an unlisted track on the DVD but is not included on the VHS. It is listed in the Commercial Releases: Full-length Releases section. A four-video compilation ("Hush" excluded) was included with Ænima in New Zealand as a promotional item in 1996. Zoo Records also released a four-video compilation ("Hush" excluded; "Sober (with Beavis and Butt-head)" included) as a promo item. Neither are still available. A three-video ("Hush", "Sober", and "Prison Sex") compilation that was to include behind-the-scenes footage was rumoured for release in 1994. It never came out although can still be found listed on some sites. 7.1.2 - Schism In June 2001, Tool announced that a DVD single would be released for "Schism" before Christmas 2001. In April 2002, rumours began to circulate that the band still intended to release the DVD and that it would be available sometime during the band's May / June stint with Ozzfest 2002 in Europe. The interim release of the "Parabola" video has further confused the nature of this release. In November 2002, Tool announced that they were filming the last 6 shows (Nov 18-24, 2002) of the Lateralus (2001) tour for a 2003 DVD release. Those 6 shows were: Albuquerque NM, Phoenix AZ, San Diego CA, Fresno CA, Reno NV, and Long Beach CA.
9.0 - COOPERATIVE & RELATED + GUEST & SIDE WORK 9.1 - Escape from L.A. "Sweat" appears on the soundtrack for Escape from L.A. (1996), a movie starring Kurt Russell. "Sweat" is the same as found on Opiate without the 10-second introduction. 9.2 - Toology - Tool Unauthorized Toology - Unauthorized is an unauthorized VHS or DVD biography that contains (at least) an interview with Adam, some still photographs of Tool, and interviews with fans. It is neither a Volcano II/Tool Dissectional release nor a licenced product. It does not contain Tool music. Maximum Tool is an unauthorized CD audio biography.

It contains songs from Opiate ("Hush" and "Opiate"), Undertow ("Intolerance" and "Sober"), Ænima ("Pushit" and "Ænema"), and Lateralus ("The Grudge", "The Patient", "Schism", and "Ticks & Leeches"). 9.5 - King Crimson - Level Five Level Five is a live CD recorded during King Crimson's stint as opening band for Tool on the 2001 tour of the United States.
