What alternative universe do you live in, Mog? In what reality is TOOL "overrated?" You saw how Danny lost in that poll against that faggot Slipknot drummer. TOOL obviously don't get the recognition they deserve. Sure, here in this community of TOOL fans, and among music critics and music...

Flood has a few great lines

All I knew
All I believed
Are crumbling images
That no longer comfort me

This ground is not the rock I'd
Thought it to be

I think anyone that's had an existential conundrum in their experience can relate to those words.

that's what it seems... drug addict, religious, psychopaths that need their new tool fix

I assumed it was a Tool Forum based on the general theme of every thread relating to... uh... Tool.

you got your dicks, your pussies, and your assholes. assholes that want to just shit all over everything. you, MOG, are an asshole.

Seems to me you keeping writing essays every day about a band you claim not to care about. You should seek professional help for your obsessive personality traits. yeah MOG... I mean it's cool to have a gripe with a band but you try to make it clear you hate tool. so... why be on a tool forum? it's...

we still give them time because the new music is gonna be siiiiiiick. I should know better than to get involved in this, but you have absolutely no reason to believe this. Every album they've released has been amazing. The next one will be no different. That little jam they threw in before Schism o...

Let's not forget that Danny's been the one who's lied the most, by far. Or if you find that too harsh, he's been overly optimistic too many times. At least the others didn't throw any of that our way. They are basically a joke band at this point. They are a joke band. They'd be the first to tell you.

I have no idea why so many of you still love this band, or even respect them at this point, but who am I to judge? We still love you despite your shortcomings... why should we give up on TooL? :P I wouldn't even be in this thread had Tactic not addressed me. Good day I knew you'd have to say someth...

and no it won't be recorded this year. maynards little picture said TOOL 2014. this isn't new news. one thing that we can be excited about is that it appears as though it will be the first half of 2014 and we'll probably get a summer tour with new music... which is just fine with me.

Stinkfist has a lot of great lines

boredom's not a burden anyone should bear

Desensitized to everything, what became of subtlety

I'll keep digging, till I feel something


I like Jambi's take. Isn't it named Jambi partially due to a couple of verses being in Iambic pentameter?

I love that line... obviously the way it's said heightens the impact. He seems to have a lot of circular lyrics; one line bleeds into the next a lot in parabol/parabola.

I've always been amused by

one and one, are one; eleven

I thought it would be interesting to see what little bits of Maynard's lyrical library you find yourself identifying with the most, appreciating, or becoming inspired by. I'm not talking about the whole song, but mainly a section, a couple of lines, or a couple of words... Maybe something he said in...

Tool's aura was largely created because of Paul and the dark, four-on-the-floor style of the first two albums. Like they said, they got people's attention with something that was more accessible at first. Obviously they were very angry about a lot of shit leading up to the writing of Opiate/Undertow...

it doesn't. hence the 'haha'

it's just the only part of any of tool's videos with a black dude. funny you singled that portion out as subpar.

I've read that Danny can do all of the paradiddles with his feet while doing his polyrhythms with his arms. If you know don't anything about paradiddles-- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rudiment joey jordison or whoever he is likely hasn't even heard of a paradiddle. Danny's talent is immeasurable whi...

racist bastard haha

Yeah the Parabola video has got to be my favorite... surrealism at it's finest.

Maynard's dick is my pick for #1, we all know how hard Hellboy has been riding it for over a decade plus. This... was actually fairly funny. But seriously, if it's Aenima you should post the shitty bootleg from the live Canadian (I think Montreal) show with Maynard painted blue and white and dancin...

The grammy-award winning ___________ comes in at #1. If The Grudge is HB's definitive Tool song, ___________ is mine.

Isnt he just Grudgin' against ur Grudgin'?

exactly. if this is the place to bitch and moan... that's what i'm going to do. MOG is only thing I feel like bitching about so you can chew it or choke motherfucker.

and your point about them not making music is ridiculous. they've been making music in other projects constantly. you're teenage angst and sense of entitlement is a little misguided. Your delusional devotion to a band that lacks professionalism and treats it's fanbase like shit is borderline absurd...

one thing is certain... that no matter how great the next album is, you'll refuse to like it.
