Tool

They are offically IMO the single best band OUT THERE RIGHT NOW. 10,000 Days is F**KING AMAZING ... & their old stuff NEVER gets old.

Maynard actually knows how to sing unlike 90% of the Metal bands out there. He can sing softly, at a normal tone, and "yell" without actually yelling like a retard (that's you, Hatebreed). Danny Carey has got chops from all over. He is a F**KING GREAT drummer. He plays so heavily without sounding basic and old (that's you, Linkin Park). Justin Chancellor is quite the talent when it comes to the Bass. He has got the lowest and most muddy sound EVER ... & it sounds so good with their unique style of music. Adam Jones is last but not least ... I just want to say that if you go listen to the start of "Jambi" off of 10,000 Days, you will be impressed. It might not be THE SINGLE HARDEST THING TO PLAY that's ever been recorded, but I'm blown away by the stuff that they write. I'm not sure how much Adam Jones writes, but he sure plays like he means it ...

My favorite tracks by Tool are (there is no order here):

Intolerance (this song is just really good)
Prison Sex (the song is better than the title suggests ...

)
Sober (the BASS here is awesome & so is the song as a whole)
Stinkfist (at times, this is my favorite song by them)
46 & 02 (another good one ... )
AEnema (the spelling might be messed up on this one ...

)
The Grudge (good all around)
Schism (great BASS and VOCALS)
Parabola (good all around)
Vicarious (the middle of this song is so sweet)
Jambi (the GUITAR in this song is so awesome)
The Pot (the BASS in this song is so awesome)

I know that these guys take time to write good and interesting lyrics, but I am more of a pure music guy when it comes to what bands I like. Tool has got some of the best MUSIC out there.

Any opinions!?!?! All fans are welcome to post (obviously), and I guess the haters can get in here, too ... I know that SOMEBODY will talk some serious crap about Tool ... I don't care ... I will ALWAYS think that they're the greatest band I've ever listened to, and I've listened to a lot ...

Agreed 100% on everything you said.
Easily my favourite band

but you didn't list Lateralus, which is my favourite song

DaHooligan · 08-23-2007, 08:41 PM

All there songs sound the same.

The guy is arrogant and pompous as **** just cause he knows jiu jitsu he acts like he is the ****.

again I never said they suck so dont throw a hissy fit.

By the way sometime there music can make someone think about suicide its on depressing tone.

they are more known for there Videos being unique.

I know, man. I've never liked it that much. That's not to say that it's not going to grow on me ...

iountcare · 08-23-2007, 08:55 PM

where the **** is Third Eye in that list and not to mention Lateralus....two best songs IMO.

koss2010 · 08-23-2007, 08:56 PM

interpol is better well thats a vague statement

I use to love tool but the thing is now i want better lyrics from my bands and i want high class vocals. Honestly you cant have everything or itll just be chaos ...

my point is tool is your fav band now .. but prob not 5 months from now (not that your gonna hate them) but you might find a more pleasent band.

Dude, I'm not going to get pissed. It's your opinion. Yeah, their videos are pretty different ... I just think they're decent ...

I know that they play on a "depressing" tone, but the songs that I listed get me F**KING PUMPED to go lift ... I like that ...

I've liked them this much since I was thirteen. I'm not a depressed gothic retard. I like their songs because they are really good and they get me ready to lift ...

Opiate or Aenima, both good songs.

**** L Ron Hubbard and

If you want to argue progressive rock Rush is far from being gods but that's for another thread. I liked 2112 a lot but Rush just doesn't have the deep meanings in their lyrics or the musical complexity that Tool has imo. Still a great band though.

They have alot of positve messages in there lyrics. I guess if a song can make you depressed you probaly already have issues....

not everyone likes to sing about flowers and to make you feel better. some people like to actually express emotion and life experience in their music. this concept is known as art.
