Coldplay > tool. Tool just sucks.

vinylbuilt must not have done shrooms and listened to tool

11/26/2008 3:22:38 AM

oh god. I haven't looked at this thread in a while.

Tool is incredible. an acquired taste, but still incredible.

their being mentioned in a coldplay thread saddens me. a lot.

lolz. I can understand if you don't like them but they are an extremely musically talented band.

to call them "extremely musically talented" is an understatement

i don't really hate tool

but that man-angst kind of rock just doesn't do it for me

and when it did (when i was 15), i was listening to nirvana and pixies, and tool just isn't tuneful enough

great musicians, yes, but as i've said in a million other threads, great musicianship doesn't really mean much to me on its own

maynard is a pretty good songwriter

i felt the same way about Tool for a while, but then saw them live a thetually listened to all their albums, and now I think they're amazing.

I don't blame anyone for not liking them, there are plenty of bands that everyone seems to like that I still despise despite giving them a chance, but it took me a while to get into Tool.

i dont consider myself a tool fan by any means

however, i ended up going with a buddy to the last Tool show in Winston-Salem, and I must say it was fucking awesome as all hell.

i hope that my comment is relevant to your interests.

from what i was told tool is specifically for people that do psychedelics

like its not supposed to sound good unless you are tripping

wireless keyboard made part of my last post unreadable

^^i don't know what kind of people you talk to, but that's just stupid.

Tool is a great fucking band. . i think i've just grown out of the angst stuff.

11/27/2008 1:20:42 AM

^yup... same thing with Pantera

huge negative.

and also imo ANY music that is not "supposed" to sound good unless you are tripping is probably pretty terrible musically.

11/27/2008 12:18:07 PM

i certainly wouldn't choose Tool to listen to while tripping.

11/27/2008 12:51:48 PM

they got one song thats awesome...it like puts you in some trance and at the end you wake up and you are like "woah"...its like a 17 minute song

unfortunately chris cornell continued to make music after euphoria morning. that's a great album, but he really really fell off after he joined audioslave. at least matt cameron has done some good stuff with pearl jam and the wellwater conspiracy.

sorry i didn't mean to derail this from the tool discussion

They should have quit earlier. Now Joe Satriani is going to take all of their money.

12/6/2008 6:17:51 PM

The lawsuit has no merit, since it relies on the premise that someone actually listened to a Joe Satriani album.
