Tool vs. Other bands of today (with poll)

[Calendar Man]

Tool are expected to release their first album in five years on May 2nd. I want to see if the band is still as popular as it once was. Use this thread to talk about Tool in general as well.

I want album now! :mad::o

[Calendar Man]

Me too man, me too.

You and your kooky polls...

[Calendar Man]

You and your kooky polls...

lol I can't help it.

[KaptainKrypton]

Tool is an automatic sell as they don't fit into any specific genre (some say art-metal, some say prog metal, etc.), but they have a rabid, built-in fanbase. This was essentially the reason that A Perfect Circle's first record debuted at #3 I believe (which was a first for an unheard act with no previous release whatsoever). I know I'll be there to buy it. What's more amazing is that 85% of people who own their records don't even know what they look like.

Why is maynard hiding his face?

They sell based on the music. They friggin' rule! Everyone go out and get the album the first day, so we can give them another number #1. :up:

[Calendar Man]

Why is maynard hiding his face?

Because hes Maynard. Hes weird.

[Calendar Man]

Bump.

[Calendar Man]

Anyone know the song "You Lied"? Friggin' awesome song.

[Green Lantern]

Meh, Dream Theater destroys Tool...

[Calendar Man]

Meh, Dream Theater destroys Tool...

Very different bands...never cared for Dream Theater myself.

[Calendar Man]

The title of the new album is supposed to be "10,000 Days" but some people think that is a bogus title put out by the band themselves.

[Green Lantern]

Very different bands...never cared for Dream Theater myself.Different bands, same genre, which is where you compare them. They are both Prog Metal. I prefer DT over Tool, any day of the week, and four times on Sundays.

[Cyclops]

Pleh.

Thats cool. To each his own. I go with Tool but I would take King Crimson over both at same time (sorry Tool, you are still the best of today in my book).

[Ocelot]

Tool doesn't care.

[Juturna]

All of the bands you mentioned suck a lot.

[Eric_Draven83]

Three words: Nine Inch Nails

Love Tool, but Maynard will always be 2nd to Mr. Reznor :up:

[Ronny Shade]

'the hell is tool?

never heard of them

[Calendar Man]

Tool doesn't care.

Tool doesn't care that you think they don't care.

[Calendar Man]

'the hell is tool?

A psychedelic/progressive rock/heavy metal band that became very popular in the 90s.

[Bullseye]

Danny Carey = Greatest Drummer Ever

[Calendar Man]

All of the bands you mentioned suck a lot.

I agree regarding 3 of the 4. Glad I put that third option though. Its quite popular.

[Calendar Man]

Danny Carey = Greatest Drummer Ever

He is up there.

[Hudson]

I love Tool

[Bullseye]

I can't go through a day without getting my daily dose of Tool.

[Calendar Man]

Anyone see them live?

[Bullseye]

No. I've got the albums, which is good enough for me.

[Calendar Man]

No. I've got the albums, which is good enough for me.

Yeah. I wanna see them if they tour again with this new album though.

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Maynard is SO f***ing COOL!

However I hate Tool. I'd rather just watch and read Maynard interviews.
The only thing I like is "Judith" by A Perfect Circle.

Kind of the opposite of Madonna, Michael Jackson, etc. where you like their music but think they are idiots and loathe their personalities and cringe when they open their mouths to speak.

[Calendar Man]

Maynard is SO f***ing COOL!

I'm shocked! Not heavy enough for you? ;)

[Wilhelm-Scream]

too pretentious and wannabe technical and creepy/dark. And I can't stand the guitars and I'm guitar-oriented, wheres the guitars on Judith...WHOAH!!!, with the slide and Les Paul magic and whatnot...

Loves me my Maynard though.
Understand though, I certainly would take Tool over say, Green Day, Sum 41, Blink 182 or Yellowcard.

[DV8]

Why is maynard hiding his face?

That's how Maynard rolls . . . I read an interview about them at the time of their last album, and Maynard was walking down the street w/ Adam Jones (guitarist), and an exuberated fan runs up to Maynard after the 2 part ways, and says "Dude, do you know who you were just talking to!? That's the guitar player from TOOL!"

[Calendar Man]

I would certainly hope so.

Will do. Green Day blows.

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Will do. Green Day blows.Did you know that the Eskimos have SEVENTY-FIVE words for "Green Day Blows"?

[Bullseye]

Green Day is disgusting.

[Calendar Man]

Green Day is disgusting.

I actually agree with them about Bush and everything yet I still hate them. Pretentious jerks.

[DV8]

Anyone see them live?

I saw them for the Lateralus tour . . . weird, yet awesome show. I'm surprised I made it out of the mosh pit alive!!

Actually, since that album was a bit more airy and mellow, the crowd wasn't all crazy . . . I was pissed cuz they started jamming 'sober', and no one really got hype . . . wtf?

Maynard practically stood in the back the whole time, too . . . I think he's shy :D

I guess the guitar work does get a bit pretentious . . . but I still think Adam Jones is an artistic genius in his own right . . . he was working on feature films in effects departments before he started the 'side project' of TOOL which became his bread and butter

[DV8]

Plus, those guys are totally in it for the art, and for art's sake only . . . you NEVER see those fuackers on Jay Leno or some ****te like that . . .

[DBella]

[DV8]

Animal pretty much owns, and I think even Danny Carey would probably say so

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Oh yeah...I think he taught Moon.

[The Chairman]

I hate all the bands. I have complete and utter disdain for all modern bands except for The Killers because "Mr. Brightside" is an awesome song.

Give me, Zeppelin, The Who, the Stones, The Beatles, Queen or any great classic rock band over these talentless new artists.

Tool can do no wrong

Then I went to their site to look for more Rock and :BARF:

[jaguarr]

Smashing Pumpkins on Leno was one of the most embarrassing things I've seen on TV. Billy threw a little girl, pity-boy hissy fit because his albums weren't selling as well as the Boy bands.
:down

I can't stand Billy Corgan. He pulled basically the same crap at Lollapalooza in '94 at the show I went to. After a great show by so many great bands including...yup...Green Day....Beastie Boys, George Clinton & Parliament/Funkadelic and so many others, Smashing Pumpkins comes out as the show's headliner. Billy's pissed about something or another so he refuses to sing at all and they play half a song before he finally relents to his bandmate's urging him to just sing the damn song, but he starts singing in the most obnoxious, purposefully out of key and whiny, screechy voice I've ever heard. And then when the song ends he starts insulting the crowd and telling them what a bunch of a-holes they are and so on and so on. You can see waves of people just leaving as fast as they can, and the whole time the band is playing and looking embarrassed while he belittles the crowd as they leave during their set. It was really bad. No wonder D'Arcy went into hiding and he's having trouble getting the band to reunite. What an A-Hole.

As for Tool, Maynard is absolutely fascinating to me and they have written some pretty innovative stuff, but I can take or leave them, to be honest.

But we need to be sensitive to the plight of multi-millionaire Rock Stars when confronted with hordes of screaming fans. :(

Wow. if say Yes or King Crimson's singer refused to sing, well, alright,...but S. Pumpkins without vocals?
Well, maybe a mixed blessing. :)

Tool owns Godsmack easily.

AnthonyNasti, you are a young, misguided youth. TOOL is our generation's Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and something else really cool, all rolled into one fantastic, awesomely EVIL group of sounds!!!

They're really sort of different genres, all things considered.

Hey did you hear those tracks where Maynard sang with Alice?

[Wilhelm-Scream]

All my friends who like Tool (and I don't cultivate friends who aren't smart and who don't know music), when I've told them I dislike Tool, have said that Tool was the best concert they've ever been to, mainly 'cause of Maynard and that I HAVE to see them live to "get" it.
:confused:

[Sarge 2.0]

Hey did you hear those tracks where Maynard sang with Alice?No, but I did hear a track Johnny Cash sang with Alice...which was wicked.

[DV8]

yeah . . . that sucks that you didn't like the concert; like I said, the concert wasn't as hype as I would have liked, but that was the crowd's fault

[DV8]

I've heard their drummer is AWFUL in concert. I wouldn't know, though.

Seriously? Danny Carey OWNS!! I never heard him make a single mistake

[Sarge 2.0]

Seriously? Danny Carey OWNS!! I never heard him make a single mistakeMy friend (who's really big on progmetal and theory based stuff) said his drumming was boring, pretentious, and uneventful. Or something like that. Like, he solo'd and it was half an hour of blobby pseudo classical piece type thing. I've never seen them in concert, and his drumming is fine on the albums.

So yeah.

[DV8]

see . . . I like progmetal, too . . . but only a small group of bands . . . and the drums that those guys dish out are pretty thick; plus I've never seen any of the other progmetal bands live, so maybe my opinion is biased.

But, I'm actually a drummer myself, and I couldn't stop watching him for tricks

I can't even watch it anymore really but anyone notice how skinny Angle is looking?...I mean Tool rocks.

I can't even watch it anymore really but anyone notice how skinny Angle is looking?...I mean Tool rocks.Yeah, the match is totally worth it though. The closest WWE has come to a 5 star match in years.

Uhh...Tool>>>>My Chemical Romance. :confused:

Def Leppard<<<<<<TOOL

[Wilhelm-Scream]

TOOL could take Extreme's 'More Than Words' and make it a fuackin metal masterpiece . . . and they would probably do some silly ****te like that tooI believe it after all of the cool interviews I've seen with Maynard.

one method that he'd probably use is to put the dramatic pauses in different places like, instead of:

Then you wouldn’t have to say that you love me
Cos I’d already know
He'd say:

"Then"........(chugging along with heavy bass)

"you wouldn’t have to say".........

"that you love......ME?"
..........(long boring feedback part).......
.........."Cos I’d already know"

Def Leppard<<<<<<TOOL

I actually had Tool go up against Def Leppard in my Rock and roll Tournament thread. Didn't get too many in that round votes but Tool won 6-4.

[Wilhelm-Scream]

How come all of you guys are closet Limp Bizkit fans? They are garbage. Human garbage.Liking the trombone part on ONE Glen Miller song doesn't make me a "Closet Glen Miller Fan". :rolleyes:

:)

[jaguarr]

Wrestling talk has no place in a thread about Tool. Stop it! Right now! I mean it! :mad:

Fred Durst is the suxorz! :down

Tool did do a version of "Silly Little Love Songs''.

Yeah their version of "No Quater" is awesome. Never heard their version of Stairway...

Today is the greatest...day that I have ever known...

I swear, whenever that song used to come on the radio or television, it made me want to punch someone in the throat. Namely Billy Corgan. Such an annoying voice!

jag
I have wondered many times in the past how can a band like Smashing Pumpkins, with a singer that has perpetual sinus, ever get so huge?
I may be in the minority (according to record sales), but at least I am not the only one sickened by him.

Tool vs. Godsmack? Are you nuts, SB? Their music is not comparable. Maybe Godsmack vs. Disturbed instead?

Btw, I listen to some Limp Bizkit's stuff. Break Stuff is one of my few PMS songs. :O

[Bullseye]

Why isnt' System of A Down in the voting poll?

[DBella]

Why isnt' System of A Down in the voting poll?
Coz Hynotize blows? :(

[Bullseye]

Not the entire album.

[DBella]

Not the entire album.
Daron should just stick to playing the guitar and let Serj take the lead in singing. He's got an annoying nasal-y voice too. They're one of my fave bands but I am disappointed with Hypnotize. :(

Toxicity is my favorite album. :up:

Which is why I can't bear to listen to the album. :(

[Bullseye]

He does alright on Lonely Day.

That song made me want to shoot myself. :o

Bella listens to Tool? Well, you learn something new every day. :eek::up:

Okay. His guitar work makes up for his voice.

[ShadowBoxing]

Toxicity is my favorite album. :up:Thats by far their best stuff...in fact its the only album of their I own...I just pirated the rest

[Bullseye]

Toxicity and Mezmerise were good albums.

Self-titled didn't quite make the tops but got them going quickly.

Toxicity is their best album, imo. Followed by Mesmerize and self-titled. Steal This Album and Hypnotize... forgettable. Or remembered for the wrong reasons.

We're spamming. Lets back back on topic.

Uhh... looking forward to Tool's upcoming album?

[Bullseye]

Sneaky, sneaky.

[DBella]

Sneaky, sneaky.
Spammy, spammy.

When I watch MTV's video countdown, I can't believe how the bands that are in the top 5 got there. :(

[Bullseye]

It's a channel with dumb reality shows. What do you expect.

[DBella]

It's a channel with dumb reality shows. What do you expect.
Not much. But still... I hoped...

[ScottyBBadd]

Not big on Tool.

[Calendar Man]

Not big on Tool.

Too bad. They are pretty cool when you get into them.

[LastSunrise1981]

Tool is one of my favorite bands. Opiate, Undertow, Aenima, and Lateralus are all excellent albums and very different too.

Regardless of what some non-fans think of the music in general; they're still a powerful band and Maynard is one of the best singers ever. Not only is Maynard an awesome singer, lyricist, and songwriter, but he also has great musicians providing the music and the overall atmosphere of the songs.

Tool will always get two thumbs up from me. :up: :up:

Tool, Nine Inch Nails, and Dream Theater are all great bands. I refuse to just pick one and say I like one better than the other.

As much as I like Slipknot and Disturbed, it's clear that Tool destroys them in every way possible.

No question. :up:

[Bullseye]

Can't forget about Nine Inch Nails.

[Addendum]

Tool, Dream Theater, and Opeth would make for an excellent concert and tour.

Give each band 2 hours each

[Bullseye]

How about three hours.

[Hades]

All th bands in the poll suck. Where's the option "i'd rather stab a burning metal rod into my ears"

[Addendum]

How about three hours.
3 hours each then, but I don't want the concert to be only 3 hours.

[Bullseye]

Maybe two and a half hours.

[ThePenguin]

I don't like either of them. The Beatles and The Who > everyone.

[Bullseye]

Any other bands you like?

The first Tool single off "10,000 Days" has hit the net folks! Check it out!

[Hades]

It's funny, all the fat angsty teens i know at school listen to all the bands in the poll. Not that i'm generalizing...just pointing out an observation i've made.

[Wilhelm-Scream]

You have excellant taste in music my friend. :up:The list is great but it's invalidated by the absence of Led Zeppelin. It's like an opulent mansion built on a flimsy foundation.
