music

Update: Meh.

Tool's a lot more enjoyable if you're watching the music videos while 16 and extremely baked.

I do not care for them but I also don't really like complex music

Maynard has a cool as fuck voice tho.

They do one thing really well and that thing is write Tool songs. You kinda like it or you don’t. Every time they release a new song, I’m like, “yes, this Tool is made of Tool”. I say this as a fan.

the cow licking its butthole on the inside cover of their one album was pretty neat so

Undertow and AEnima were the two records I used to listen to a lot but nothing since has really interested me

I like Vicarous, never really bothered listening to more of them

I like them less every year, but they were great live

I'll always think of '46 and 2' fondly as the montage music for me succumbing to the dark lure of communism

My ex liked them and I listened like once or twice and now I don't remember any of their songs.

Don't I submitted a packet to Tool and they stole my idea.

I said what if we had a laser light show where we go into a robot man's ass and control him with wires and buttons? They told me it was impossible to create something like that. They said the only thing lasers could create was a alien that was throwing up from doing too much yoga.

A friend (and fellow guitar nerd) got me into them briefly in the 90s when Ænima had been out for a couple of years. He put on the beginning of "Eulogy" and told me to try to figure out the time signature. After that was over, he got this manic glint in his eye and skipped ahead to "Intermission" and "Jimmy." Decent album if "Rush, but actually Black Sabbath, and singing about butt stuff, hard drugs, and sinking LA into the Pacific" is up your alley.
