Grammy Award winning American rock band Tool has toured worldwide extensively.
Tool has performed songs by other artists occasionally in their live sets, including "Spasm" and "You Lied" by Peach, "Stranglehold" by Ted Nugent, "Demon Cleaner" by Kyuss, "No Quarter" by Led Zeppelin, and "Commando" by The Ramones.
[1] The song "Ticks & Leeches" is only rarely performed live due to the immense strain on Keenan's voice.
However, they have performed it at least a few times during their 2001 (Irvine, California) and 2002 tours including appearances in Sacramento, California, Tacoma, Washington, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Katowice (Poland), London (England), and Berlin (Germany), with Keenan using heavy vocal effects and distortion.
[citation needed] Tool added 'Ticks & Leeches' back to the set list for the 2012 North American Winter Tour.
In 1991, Tool played a number of small clubs in the Los Angeles, area and were signed to a major label.
In 1996, Tool began their extensive touring for Ænima in Pomona, California, where they debuted "Forty-Six & 2", "Hooker with a Penis", "Jimmy" and "Third Eye".
