This is an audio sample of Tool's song "Ænema".

Fair use rationale for Tool (band)

I, User:Johnnyw, believe that publishing part of the song in the article named above does fall under fair use since:

• it is used for informational purposes only, and adds significantly to the biographical narrative of the artist, as the artist received their first Grammy Award for this song and as the song's theme is heavily influenced by another famous artist Bill Hicks — both facts are illustrative, important and elaborated upon in the article.
• it is of drastically reduced quality and length, rendering it useless for any commercial use.
