any Tool fans here...?

[Robo]

Hi everyone..! is there someone that likes Tool...?

If that's the case, what do you like about the band...?

[O'Ferrell]

Tool is one of my favorite bands. I heard in a quote supposedly from the guitarist of the band that said "they try to invoke a feeling in someone with their music" indeed i believe they accomplish this. The music invokes a stimulating feeling that causes one to delve into philosophical thoughts, at least for me anyway. The reasoning behind this more than likely lies in the fact of their complex and intricate time signatures.

Totally a tool fan, 35 years old and still am!

I would say, their layered approach to sound. Also their abilities to change it up right before it gets old. And of course their lyrics how ever so whacked out.

I've always liked Maynard's vocals. He's got a pretty powerful tone to his voice when he gets going. Especially in songs like Eulogy: You've claimed all this time that you would die for me...Why then are you so surprised when you hear your own eulogy? He's got some amazing writing skills as well, with songs like Stinkfist and Prison Sex, but pretty much anything from Aenima is golden as far as I'm concerned.

Have to admit..I even like Hooker with a pen1s<--not really... the song...sick fookers:P


Well BaC is sick too..

Well not true...forget about the title...the song more or less saying.

What you see is not always what your getting....

for those browsing the thread who may not know:

"Hooker with a penis" is a song about musicians whoring themselves out to the music industry. It is a metaphor that has nothing to do with sex or hookers in the literal sense.

Thank you very much for saying that

Exactly! Or music creativity either nor

I'll see your 35 years and raise you 11. I'm 46 and I still love 'em. "Sober" is one of my all-time favorite songs. "Arizona Bay" is also brilliant.

I like Perfect Circle as well. Different musical structure, but still great.

Tock.

[BaCaRdi]

Love it! Thank you for that..you make my feel young...eremm oops..:P

Yeah Perfect Circle, they are good...not my fav..but a great band in their own-right for sure.

I also listen to Classic Rock....Jane's Addiction,Alice in Chains, etc ,etc.lol

You do know that Perfect Circle is Tool, right?

I've got a weird musical mix. One minute I'm listening to Pink Floyd, Genesis, Jethro Tull, then maybe some Mozart, then I have to listen to some Slayer. Hell, I've even got some Johnny Cash on my iPod... but that's about as close to country as I'll go.
