this is the worst dvd. everything on this dvd i already knew, and it only shows adam jones out of all the members, and shows him for maybe a minute talking about his guitar, which i already knew about the info he talked about. this dvd [smells] past the max. this dvd is no good, it's the worst, it [is] most heinous, never purchase it.

!!!!!WARNING - MAYNARD WOULD EAT HIS OWN VOMIT BEFORE ENDORSING THIS MOVIE!!!!! I feel like someone has sold me a box full of rocks and called it an anchor. There must be something done about this injustice. This movie has no music, no content, and has no right to be called TOOL "ogy".

The only way any true TOOL fan can fight this travesty of Justice(Key 11), as lover's of music, art, magic, and humanity, is to NOT PURCHASE THIS MOVIE!!!!

After viewing, I immediately got on the computer to write a review just in case someone wished to buy this mindless crap. It is so awful, I dont even know what to compare it to. It is mindblowing that someone could make something this bad off a well respected band.

I wrote a letter to Trinity Entertainment stating the following:

I recently purchased Toology put out my Trinity Entertainment. This was the worst video I have seen in my life and I was wondering about you repurchasing it. The video was nothing but repeated images for 40 minutes with audio opinions of fans only stating that Tool was "an awesome band." I cannot believe that Trinity Entertainment would even allow something like this to be released. The creators are simply making money off Tool's name and stealing consumers money by giving them complete trash. Nowhere on the cover is there a notice that none of Tool's original music or footage would be shown. I am aware that this is unauthorized, but the cover did not make a clear indication that the viewer would have to be exposed to mindless, worthless crap.

I'm very sorry you chose to have this video released under Trinity Entertainment's name,[...]

TOOLOGY is nothing more than a shameless attempt to capitalize on fan sentiment. The creator knew that TOOL fans would love to get their hands on footage of the band they love, and unfortunately so many bought into it, (I'm no exception to the case). The DVD is disgraceful, with ridiculous cut scenes in which the author tries (and fails) to imitate some of Adam Jones' artwork, a stupid voiceover done by some guy who sounds like he belongs at a Nascar event, and horrible boring music playing throughout. Save your money, and don't support self-interested, bland people.

uhm...some kid asked his friends what they thought of tool and taped it and that's about all this dvd has to offer. it really has nothing to do with tool. no music, concert footage, maybe a five minute interview with the guitarist. i think they taped guitars in sam ash and a billboard that said a perfect circle. i wish they were able to get in the concert. anyone with a camcorder could have done this, the author should have interviewed his mom. whoever is making money off of this is a genius, i can't believe people are allowed to make money this way. save your money, buy anything else. buy the olson twins, there is a better chance of tool being in that dvd.

but if you're stupid enough to buy these ridiculous "Unauthorized" DVD's, then you deserve the discomfort of having shelled out hard-earned cash for nothing but interviews with fans and other worthless clips of anything BUT the band.

Ok, I checked out the video version of this when I found it at a uesd cd store in town. The video is a poorly put together attempt at a biography. The interviews are with fans outside of shows and miscellaneous people that I can only assume were friends of whomever put this together. It has awful transitions between sections of the video attempting to be like something out of the Salival DVD but failing miserably. The music sucks...obviously they could not play Tool songs on the tape and what they selected was atrocious. It was good for a laugh in a way only hack cinema can be, but still not worth a dime.

Ok Tool fans, Brace yourself for what critics are calling one of the worst films ever made! See... I thought that before movies are created people have to go through some sort of screening process where a movie is either thought to have potential or be a complete and total waste. Apparently this particular film did not go through this process, if it did the pitch must have been something along these lines "There isn't much out there about tool, lets exploit their fans, there are no DVD's to compete with, we can make some money." Consequently all those involved with the production of this film should shoot themselfs in the head. The person responsible for this film is a cerial killer of sorts... everyone who has ever seen this film would probably concur that after they completed viewing it, they felt as though they had been killed in the thousandth degree... That is 2 hours of their life gone, wasted, 2 hours and 20 bucks they will never see again. Factor in the time they had to work to purchase the film.. and it's a shame that a film like this can be produced and distributed.

WARNING: PURCHASE AND/OR VIEWING OF THIS FILM CAN RESULT IN A 2 OR MORE HOUR REDUCTION IN LIFE SPAN. PLEASE CONSIDER CAREFULLY BEFORE VIEWING/PUCHASE.

All information regarding that of the actual members and band itself can be found on any tool fan site. Tool Shed, Toolband.com take your pick, but dont purchase this movie!!

Wow, I'm so glad I borrowed a copy of my friend's before i went out and bought this piece of garbage DVD. Don't buy Toology, it's a complete disgrace to the band!

This DVD is a complete waste of money. It doesn't even contain
music from the band. It's a poorly homemade, unauthorized piece
of garbage. The band TOOL is fantastic ...
