Tool vs Nickelback (lyrics, rock, single, genre, pink floyd)

**jackhammer** · 12-31-2007, 04:49 PM

Tool whether for good or bad, have at least tried to create something different to the usual rock formula of riffs and big choruses. Unlike Nickleback who are just one in a long line of average bands that do not add anything for the genre.

Unbelieveably I have only just started to listen to Tool and I'm 35! I like what I hear (LATERALUS), but I am not hampered by any possible baggage that has hung onto the band since their inception.

I have been hearing metal since 85 and it is so frustrating to hear the genre being constantly recycled.

At least TOOL approached the genre from a different angle, which cannot be said for Nickleback.

You should have gone for TOOL VS PRIMUS. Now that would have been an interesting discussion!

I think Tool is one of the more unique rock bands in the past 20 years. They do everything different and yet, do just as good as any other mainstream band. I think it's quite amazing.

I didn't really like that album, there was some very great songs (The Pot, 10,000 Days

), but I always find myself skipping through half of the album. Lateralus and Aenima are waaaay better imo.

Anyway, Anal Beads >>> Tool >>> Nickelback
