You guys make the worst impression on newcomers. I've only been here for a year and I still wouldn't turn my back on anyone in here for two seconds.

Lets focus on the big picture which is how Tool sucks.

I get all the odd-timed grooves that go on forever from Sonar and without having to subject myself to Maynard's lame singing.

Not bad! I really like the drum sound in particular. Bookmarked.

People on this forum will say that Tool sucks, but will listen to the likes of Captain Beefheart and will ejaculate over try hard singers and Frownland-esque noise rock. Y'all need to get out more.

Seen on some Tool forum somewhere on the internet, discussing the meaning of a particular song:

"i've been reading about these conspiracies for a couple of years now. i'm not sure of the true agenda though. i believe we are being blinded of a bigger picture here. involving the sentence stating that the "lluminati" shadow government, trilateral, whatever you want to call it, believe that man is god, i too believe this. in a different way. i believe in sentient energy. the displacement theory in a way. so in a way, we all are "god" as you would put it. the idea of a well funded, powerful intelligence controlling the masses and governments of the world is very feasible in my eyes. read the "you are being lied to" series."

Their fans sure are pretentious or at the very least, bat **** insane. Well, some of them.

I have what I like to call my big three bands. They are 3 bands that I think make the best music and are are all time greats. Tool is one of those bands. That said, tool fans are ****ing dumb. They think by listening to a band that writes music about Carl Jung theory of consciousness they are mentally superior. Carl Jung had a crack pot theory. The fans focus on Maynards Lyrics, but Maynard purposely doesn't put his lyrics in the booklet of the album for so fans won't put so much into his words and will focus on the music and interpret it their way.

**** you Tool licks dirty pubes.

What are the other 2 of the top 3? ICP and Kenny Loggins?

Not a fan of long songs in general, found the album I listened to by this band unique but kinda meh. However I listened a long time ago. Do like that hooker penis song 1blankmind sent.

I agree with Mic Shazam, I don't mind pretentious music. I like Liturgy's Aesthetica and they couldn't be more openly pretentious.
