I wouldn't be disappointed if a band could actually pull it off.
The problem is that while some bands might be able to have Tool-ish
music they are lacking one thing: Maynard. He makes Tool, IMHO. Without
him they'd just be a good alternative/prog-metal band. With him they
are a musical force of nature. Very few bands have a singer who adds
to the music like Maynard does.

P.S. Of all the alleged Tool-ish bands, Earshot comes the closest so far
I think. They have good music and good vocals.
