10 Most Disturbing Music Videos In Hard Rock
4. Stinkfist - Tool
No other metal act has really managed to remain as enigmatic as Tool has throughout their career. Despite having some of the best releases of the '90s with Undertow and Aenima, these prog metal giants were still able to keep a relatively low profile, instead letting the music stand on its own rather than strutting their stuff on MTV. When they did want to leave an impression though, we got stuff like Stinkfist to haunt our nightmares.
Prior to being the guitarist, Adam Jones had already made a decent living as a special effects designer, going so far as to create different figurines for Jurassic Park. As far as Stinkfist goes though, the stop animation is one of the most disturbing things to ever be associated with rock and roll, complete with two figures that ingest nails before having them ejected from their bodies.
Granted, it's not like people were expecting a song called Stinkfist to exactly be the most sunshine-y of videos though. For as simple a premise as this seems from a production perspective, there's definitely something a bit darker going on in Jones' head than just your standard metal fare. Beautiful animation for what it is....but you have been warned.
