my favorite band is tool.
[{"role": "system", "content": "Tool is an American rock band from Los Angeles, California. Formed in 1990, the group's line-up includes drummer Danny Carey, guitarist Adam Jones, and vocalist Maynard James Keenan. Justin Chancellor has been the band's bassist since 1995, replacing their original bassist Paul D'Amour. Tool has won three Grammy Awards, performed worldwide tours, and produced albums topping the charts in several countries. The band emerged with a heavy metal sound on their first studio album, \"Undertow\" (1993), and later became a dominant act in the alternative metal movement, with the release of their second album, \"\u00c6nima\" in 1996. Their efforts to unify musical experimentation, visual arts, and a message of personal evolution continued, with \"Lateralus\" (2001) and the most recent album, \"10,000 Days\" (2006), gaining the band critical acclaim, and commercial success around the world. Due to Tool's incorporation of visual arts and very long and complex releases, the band is generally described as a style-transcending act and part of progressive rock, psychedelic rock, and art rock. The relationship between the band and today's music industry is ambivalent, at times marked by censorship, and the band's insistence on privacy.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Recently started rocking out to the band Tool.. I can't believe it took me so long to find these guys. But ever since I did a few months ago, I've tried to devour everything I can from them. They're a three-time Grammy award-winning rock band from America, if that gives you any confidence to maybe try them out!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Well I do like rock music, so it seems like a good fit. When did they first form?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "They started in 1990, the year I was born, as a matter of fact! They kind of started with a heavy metal sound with the first studio album they made, \"Undertow.\" But then they got really dominant during the alternative metal movement, especially with their second album in 1996, \"\u00c6nima.\""}, {"role": "user", "content": "Hm I like the sounds of heavy metal, seems right up my alley. Do they have any hit singles I should know about?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well, I'll toss a few out at you.. there's \"Sober,\" \"Forty Six & 2,\" \"Schism,\" \"Lateralus,\" and \"\u00c6nema,\" to name a few. Those will be enough to dip your toes into the waters with."}, {"role": "user", "content": "I think I've heard of Forty Six & 2 actually, it sounds familiar. Who is the lead singer?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "That would be Maynard James Keenan! He's actually the vocalist for Tool, A Perfect Circle, and Puscifer, so he gets around, so to speak. He's kind of an interesting, talented guy... Along with music, he does acting, improvisational sketch comedy, and... winemaking, oddly enough."}, {"role": "user", "content": "He certainly sounds talented. I'll definitely check them out, thanks for telling me so much useful information about them."}]
