Yeah, I don't want to stir The Pot, but I guess Maynard must be Sober now - sounds like his Intolerance for digital distribution was causing a Schism within the band.
(I'll let myself out ...)
Hmm just listened in to most of the listed songs - Americans consider this metal? Many wouldn't even be considered hard rock in Europe x_X
How would you call these?

Power Metal is such a hack genre. Right behind Pirate metal and Dad-metal (Saxon).
Metal, Rock, Grunge... whatever. It's just a label, a name, a category. Call it whatever you like.
Jon Schaefer is trash, however I cannot expand upon why because I am specifically banned from speaking about politics.
Here, here's 56 more than the 2 that you'd asked for.

Is Perfect Circle available on streaming? I support I could look but I'm feeling lazy 
The best way to sound pretentious is when you get into arguments about genres. That’s also when you lead to stupid sub-genres like Blackened Doom Grindcore because some band with an illegible logo doesn’t quite sound like Metallica.
And clearly that isn’t what Americans consider “metal” when you’ve got famous extreme US bands like Cannibal Corpse or Cattle Decap. However I think you already knew all this and you were being deliberately pedantic.
Hmm a long list of rock, hardrock and strange stuff. It really appers that the US and Europe have totally different understanding what metal is. Strange.
Funny, the thousands that pack Castle Donington every year would beg to differ.
I listed only American bands that play any of a variety of subgenres of metal, including variations of hardcore.
I'm sorry if you're stuck in power metal, which is just Europe's version of glam.
You know that Monsters of Rock ended 2006? And that it mostly played rock not metal. For metal Wacken Open Air is the place to go...

Yes, as well as Puscifer.
That should tell you that Maynard wasn’t the holdout.

To be fair, I would bet more people have listened to Tool than have watched the Grammys.
Are you kidding me? How many European metal festivals don't have an American band headlining? How many current European metal bands were not influenced by Metallica, Megadeth, or Slayer?

This is totally wrong...Monsters of Rock was mostly metal even in the 80's. Even now, under its new name, metal bands play there. Wacken is great and all but you seem to have deluded idea of what metal actually is.

Is Slayer metal? Is Megadeth? You might argue Metallica is no longer metal, but you'd be wrong there too. Pantera? Were they metal? Mastodon? You do realize that of all the biggest bands in metal, the American made ones are the most current? Volbeat and Ghost are working their way up...but I can't even believe I'm having this conversation. No way you were alive in the 80's.
To hell with streaming! Stick to your guns TOOL!!! Rerelease Ænima on vinyl and 10,000 Days on vinyl and we’ll be happy! Cheerio
oooh, I don’t even have a record player and I would buy them just to display the damn things.
also I’m a HUGE fan of their physical releases. I still remember my mind being blown after their lenticular cover for ænima in the 90s. Their 3D stereoscopic release of 10,000 Days was amazing. I still have all their physical CDs and even with streaming this will be the first CD I buy physical since I saw St. Vincent in concert over a decade ago.
I ALSO will never forget my mom accidentally buying Enigma by accident because she mistook it for Ænima . That said, Enigma friggin rocks, still listen to them today. Thanks mom!
About ****ing time if Apple has my search history and saw how many times I tried to search for anything from Tool, love them and miss the days when MTV in the 90s played their music videos especially MTV X channel.

All those, plus Prog, Psychedelic, <insert_various_other_styles>
I think Tool __not__ being easily categorized is one of the things that made me a fan. I celebrate their whole catalog ... just like Michael Bolton.
I score most of my music digital, but occasionally still buy physical, plus our joint collection of hundreds of existing CDs, which includes some of the nice packaging like my Lateralus with the slipcover and reflective/transparent liner notes (funny enough, it's right behind me, it's in my "TBP / recently played" stack)
