It was ok. Maynard Keenan skulks about like Gollum and toys with the audience, which is really fucking irritating when you want to see the show. He hides and shit, stays in the shadows, weird power play bullshit for a stadium show. I went with friends, the people behind us had weed, we smoked a ton of it and that made the show much more fun. But my friend who were really into tool were irritated at MK’s weird creepy crawly bullshit. Don’t really remember Meshuggah, but this was in like 2001, so I’m allowed a lapse. |

Tool are awful. Always were.
However, they seem like very cool people. I personally know a couple of people who have opened for them and they are pretty amazing for taking groups on tour with them that will surely alienate their bro-prog nu-metal music school audience. Cows? They took COWS on tour with them. amazing. And apparently they treated them really well and give them a giant tip at the end. The band is probably the absolute antithesis of taste for their audience and I applaud them for that. Also Kinski opened for them. Love that they gave bands like that a chance to play a giant arena setting. |

I saw that same tour. In Texas, they were playing smaller college cities which had them playing Lamar University in Beaumont, my hometown. They also played Corpus Christi, El Paso......maybe even Abilene? They didn’t play Houston, San Antonio or Dallas.

I honestly love this album. The rest are pretty good, but I accepted when the last album came out that no matter how long they spend on an album they'll never do one as good as Lateralus. In fact, I'm totally expecting the new one to be a dud.

I dunno. I kinda get it. Tool isn’t as dumb as a lot of the people who insist Tool is really smart, but they’re still pretty basic and their fans just lose their minds over that shit like Slint or Rodan or Swans never existed. Probably because a lot of them don’t realize Slint and Rodan and Swans ever existe. |

So Tool sucks because they broke through to the mainstream? Yeesh...
![]() I know Slint, Swans, and Tool - I even went and saw Swans live - and have enjoyed them all. Of the three, Tool is my favorite. Quote:

Is there anything in their discography that Rodan didn’t do better in 13 minutes on “The Everyday World of Bodies”? Aaaanyway, I don’t really have much against Tool, but my friends who think they’re AMAZING and don’t know who they ripped off ... they irritate me. |

Probably? They do it in 9. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vluBFWv4mE Discrediting a band's entire discography because of how much you enjoy a track from a similar artist seems bitter. Of all bands to do that to, Tool's discography is too focused on exploration for them to be one. I've never heard of Rodan before. They sound punkier than Tool. Cool. Is Maynard too dorky for ya? I don't understand. It's okay to enjoy Bush even if you love Nirvana. I won't tell anyone. |

The vocals and the guitar work are the deal breakers for me. As someone I know once put it, Tool are usually the best band someone with bad taste likes or the worst band someone with good taste likes.
I guess they're building bridges! |

Maynard’s kind of a pretentious douchechill, but that doesn’t matter. It’s not the band I have an issue with so much as the hordes of people who love him and don’t know ... blah, I already said this. If you love Bush, fine. If you love Bush and don’t know anything about Nirvana, that’s frustrating. Whatever. I honestly don’t care. I really hate Puscifer and their whole hillbilly act. Fuck that shit. My girlfriend loves Tool and I lived with her for 8 years. Chill. |
