Another good band that just made a name is 10 Years... they've got a Tool sound too... but once again... I'm not going to call them the best band ever... But yeah... I'm sure lots of people have heard of Tool... they just don't hold as high of an opinion about them as you do...

I like to think I am a fairly avid Tool fan, and it might help if you got your facts straight - they have not disbanded - A Perfect Circle is a side project for Maynard (all the members of Tool haev side projects of one kind or another). Granted they haven't released an album for 5 years, but the fact is, they have just put the finishing touches to their new one, and it is scheduled for release in May.
Just thought I would clear that up.
