"No. There’s only one kind of Tool fan. The Tool fan who thinks that being a Tool fan lets them into some big secret that nobody else gets. They think that only a select few posses the secret Tool decoder ring."

:laughing:

Reading it again for the first time in years. This one is a gem:

"For starters, there’s Maynard James Keenan’s (second stupidest name in pop music, next to Idlewild’s Roddy Woomble) halting, breathy, nauseatingly affected crooning. He’s like the Morrissey of hard rock. He’s also a deep, poetic lyricist, having made millions of snickering Beavis-clones feel like subversive badasses for playing songs about fisting in their mom’s minivans (to avoid a few angry e-mails, let me just humor you and say “the song isn’t really about fisting, there’s like… a whole other deeper level, man”)."

Pfft that does sound pretty funny. I'll give it a read later tonight.

:rofl: @ that Brian Wilson bit.

Wayne also appears in this doc giving Deerhoof and Lightning Bolt some praises.



Idk much about The flaming Lips tho, they're one of those bands i keep hearing around my circles like Yo la tengo but I've never explored their music in depth

The Flaming Lips are one of my all-time favorite bands. The Soft Bulletin and Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots both changed my life. I recommend them a thousand times over.

Also, that interview Wayne Coyne did with Brian Wilson can be found here. It's an interesting read.

Interesting read despite all the misplaced question marks.

Yeah no clue what's up with that. I think Stop Smiling's website is fairly old and has some errors. Glad to know you parsed through them, though :laughing:

Weird. Seems he resents Dave just cuz he went big time.

I didn't really see anything negative about Dave in Buzzo's story. Seems more self-deprecating than anything else.
