I get why some people think it sounds weird and don't enjoy it, it took me a while to get into them too but I love the math and trying to count as he plays.
Cool story. You enjoy the math and trying to count...
I'll enjoy good songs that tell a story without unambiguously gay overtones. [Reply]

Maybe when I was a teenager, the shock value of something like Tool would've meant a little more...but then I developed a musical maturity, and stuff like Tool didn't mean much to me anymore. I used to like the Deftones a lot back in the 90s, too. Not so much anymore. I grew up. I don't relate to songs like "Hooker with a Penis", "Jimmy", "Pushit", "Jerkoff", "Bottom", "Prison Sex" or "Stinkfist" on any level. It's cool if you do. But you aren't going to convince me that it's great music because the drummer plays the kit like an octopus. [Reply]

I'm not trying to convince you of anything, I don't give a shit what your dumbass likes. Unlike like you claim to, Tool did mature musically as they got older. While I still appreciate the older stuff, Lateralus, 10000 Days and Fear Inoculum get way more play at my house. The fact still remains, Danny has more percussion talent in his left testicle than Ringo could ever dream of...and I actually like The Beatles too.
You claim "musical maturity" and that you "grew up" but listen to shit like this:
My dick cost a late night fee
Your dick got the HIV
My dick plays on the double feature screen
Your dick went straight to DVD
My dick, bigger than a bridge
Your dick look like a little kid's
My dick, large like the Chargers, the whole team
Your shit look like you fourteen
My dick, pink and big
Your dick stinks like shit
My dick got a Caesar do
Your dick needs a tweezer, dude

Seriously. Mickey is banging "Woke AF", a message that needs to be heard.
Also : not every song has to be a literary masterpiece...but the hot little 24 year old I kick it with can spit every verse of "My Dick" from memory, we have a good time...sometimes, a song can make you laugh, and that IS the song's merit.
Mickey Avalon>Tool.
Wheeler Walker Jr>>>Tool
****, I'd rather listen to ICP>>>Tool. Their fans aren't near as annoying as Tool fans are...
**** Tool. Tool fans who act like they're the greatest band ever turn me off from ever wanting to listen to them again.
Tool is like Phish for annoying incel people who sometimes take showers. [Reply]
While not my favorite band in the world anyone who claims Tool is untalented or "sucks" really doesn't need to be talking music. The guys are legends and one of the only bands in modern history that created their own genre. NOBODY sounds like Tool, or really even close. [Reply]

Keep saying it. Maybe you can will it to be true. [Reply]
You completely missed the point. You are using Stinkfist and Prison sex as examples of immature music with "shock value" so he pointed out an immature song by an artist you like to which you replied "so 2005" but its still 9 years newer than your examples. I think you're the one having trouble keeping up.

No. They are probably Tool's biggest influence but they do not sound the same. If you want to make the argument that they are both prog rock I'll listen but Tool has its own unique variation. [Reply]
