DVD

On December 20, 2005, two DVDs were released, one containing the music video single for "Schism" and the other for "Parabola". Also included with each DVD is a dual commentary section and a remix of each song by Brian "Lustmord" Williams. In Europe, the DVD singles were released on January 9, 2006.

Additionally, news on the official website reported that the much-speculated-about live DVD is still in the works as a completely separate project, with the release date still "a great unknown."

Music videos

With the exception of "Hush", all of Tool's music videos feature stop-motion animation created by Jones, in a style similar to the Brothers Quay. Many were created with the help of outside artists such as Cam de Leon, Alex Grey, the Brothers Strause, and interpretive dance duo Osseus Labyrint.

Song Director Created Notes
"Hush" 1992 It is a common misconception that Ken Andrews directed this video.
"Sober" Adam Jones, Fred Stuhr 1993
"Prison Sex" Adam Jones 1994 Removed from the MTV playlist, because it was deemed "too graphic and offensive." Ken Andrews edited this video.
"Stinkfist" Adam Jones 1996
"Ænema" Adam Jones 1997
"Ænema" (uncensored) Adam Jones 2000 Recreated for Salival.
"Schism" Adam Jones 2001
"Parabola" Adam Jones 2002 Tricky appears, uncredited.

Radio singles for which no official music videos were made include: "Opiate", "Eulogy", "Forty-Six & 2", "H.", and "Lateralus". The video for "Vicarious" was "nearly finished" in July 2006[3] but has yet to be released, and a similar situation exists for "The Pot".

On Saturday, March 24, 2006, Road Runner Records posted in their news section that the music video for Vicarious will be played on MTV2's Headbanger's Ball. This did not happen. Tool's Stinkfist was played instead.

Tributes

The String Quartet Tribute has created several Tool tribute albums, the first of which is Third Eye Open: The String Quartet Tribute to Tool (2001). Tool songs are arranged for classical music string instruments (violins, viola, cello and a double bass) with at least three musicians. The lack of percussion is sometimes countered with "clicking" col legno and other bowing techniques. Tool's songs are mostly multi-sectioned, and the band's sophisticated grasp of harmony allows for an interesting instrumental interpretation.

Metamorphic: The String Tribute to Tool Volume 2 (2003) is performed by two groups of musicians, including the group from Third Eye Open. Other String Quartet Tribute titles include: Finding Beauty in the Dissonance: A Piano Tribute to Tool, Chamber Made: The Baroque Tribute to Tool, Anotomica: The String Quartet Tribute to Tool, and The String Quartet Tribute to Tool's Ænima.

Other tributes to Tool include: A Gothic Acoustic Tribute to Tool, Tribute to Tool played by various rock artists, and Rockabye Baby: Lullaby Renditions of Tool.
