The Tool DVD box set has a video with all of the band members walking
around naked with Parental Advisory placards around their "privates" and it
does show their faces. Definitely pick it up if you're into Tool.

Peace,

how about tool?  none of their videos that i have seen have any footage of
the band, i don't think they do interviews, and when i saw them in
concert the lead singer's face was painted.
