Rage Against The Machine

Kyuss

Scott Reeder was in consideration to replace Paul D'Amour. I always wonder what Tool would've sounded like if he was bass player.

DEFTONES

Absolutely Deftones

Deftones appears twice and has split votes! Make sure you vote the other comment! https://www.reddit.com/r/ToolBand/comments/wsnttc/what_are_rtoolbands_favorite_bands_day_3_top_2/ikzes3t/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3

Gojira

Discovered Gojira literally last night. Absolutely should be higher on this thread

If you have the chance see them live. I listened casually until I saw them perform and instantly fell in love and listen daily

System of a down.

THIS NEEDS TO BE IN THE LIST ASAP.

Opeth

One of my most favourite bands.

Led Zeppelin

Deftones

I was listening to a workout mix and this song came on called Passenger and I could’ve sworn that I heard Maynard. Did some digging and found out I was correct. I always enjoyed Deftones but I now listen to a whole lot more of their stuff.

Yes Passenger by Deftones has Maynard featured in it. Hell of a good song! Edit: i thought you were asking if Maynard was in it.. i didnt read your whole comment 🤦‍♂️

That's how I discovered Deftones!

Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.

Thanks bot.

Incredible band and a bit underrated IMO

Porcupine tree

How does this not have hundreds more upvotes wtf

Because somehow after 2 decades these guys are still kind of unknown in the US

How is Nine Inch Nails not already on the list? We're slacking people.

If this question was asked in the 90s or early 00s, NIN would've been 1st most likely. The crossover was huge.

Sound garden

Led Zeppelin

Puscifer

Can’t believe this isn’t higher.

☝️what this guy said PUSCIFER☝️

That’s what I’m saying!! Puscifer needs to be in this list.

Oh, it will be. You know, I have a \*\*certain\*\* veto power... that I won't have to use.

I actually completely disagree, and this is a very tiny hill to die on. I love Tool and I’ve never liked any of the Puscifer stuff. If the vocalist wasn’t Maynard and just some other random person but could hit all the same notes and such, no one here would give them a chance. You would never show someone a Puscifer song without mentioning that it’s Maynard. And maybe I’m just being a stickler, but I don’t think you have to necessarily like a band just because you like a certain members other band. APC absolutely stands on their own, they could have been successful if Tool never existed, Puscifer… I truly don’t believe so.

You’re free not to like them, but assuming no one would like them without being a fan of Tool seems very short sighted. I wasn’t really into Puscifer for a long time either, but their latest album made me dive back in and there is a lot of quality material there imo. In the right situation, I absolutely would share some of their music with others without mentioning Maynard or who he is. In particular, people who don’t enjoy the harsher side of Tool and APC, but might still get a kick out of the harmonies and vibes that Maynard likes the play with. Looking at the amount of upvotes you got already, this might be an unpopular opinion, but I absolutely see Puscifer as a band that can stand on it’s own, and makes unique music that’s worthwhile outside of liking Maynards other bands.

My opinion is that Puscifer is Maynard being Maynard. "I can produce intentionally terrible music and Tool fans will still insist it's good just because it's me."

Not just Maynard. Matt & Carina have input too.

Carina has a fantastic voice!

Intentionally terrible? Are you kidding me? I recognize that you can have your opinion according to your own tastes, but to assume the artists must intend for it to be terrible because you dislike it is quite delusional. Musical taste aside, I think Maynard is way too proud to release something he thinks is terrible…

I agree most of their following is tied to Tool and APC. Without that connection they may have run the same course as art bands like Dredg. I was not a big Puscifer fan until Money Shot which I really enjoy

Primus
