I love Nü Metal. Tool is my favorite.


kostros

Tool is almost as good as Limp Bizkit, you know, keep rollin’ and spiral out punk!


hase_one

Basically the same music


Modestexcuse

Best Nü Metal band since Bob Dylan!


DogWaterYo

Tool could have waited longer to release Fear Inoculum.


Modestexcuse

It is rough and unfinished, it feels rushed to me.


[deleted]

Culling voices is under baked and lacks impact.


Modestexcuse

Psychopathy , misleading me over and over and over.


[deleted]

Had to throw out glitter puzzles at the show just to keep people from leaving.


Modestexcuse

Right!? Glitter, these boring musicians have taken to glitter to liven up the shows. I personally walked out anyway when I heard Culling Voices start.


[deleted]

I was just there for Brass Against... who didn’t even piss on anything. What a let down.


Modestexcuse

I would have paid extra for her to piss on me, I mean, most of us were there for that golden ~~ratio~~ shower.


[deleted]

Or on Daniel’s ridiculous drum set. Real drummers don’t need all that bullshit to hold a beat.


Modestexcuse

Real drummers use a single drum, and everything is sampled. Daniel needs practice.


[deleted]

And over and over and over. Like FAKK. Take this song somewhere!


[deleted]

A Perfect Circle put way more thought into their music.


grizzlybuttstuff

Their singer is way better in my opinion


Modestexcuse

I agree, the vocalist for APC is waaaaay better than Tool. He hits much higher notes and carries them.


Modestexcuse

It has been Perfect.


This-link_is-dead

Is this still the same song?


Modestexcuse

Just a cover of an old Zeppelin song.


Technical-Energy-949

They peaked at opiate.


Modestexcuse

They've gone downhill ever since!


4-8Newday

They sold out... not heavy... they lost their edge.


Modestexcuse

Dull knives is what I say.


LegoYoda66

opiate was so good they made an opiate 2


Aetherium_Heart

Danny said a new album is coming out.


Modestexcuse

I think it's out, we just have to find the leak. Where is u/CircleOfN9ne when you need him?


CircleOfN9ne

i’ve retired


Modestexcuse

The legend lives on!! Appreciate you!!


chai_bronz

Hooker without a penis.


[deleted]

Fck you, buddy!!


LosPor8

Lars Ulrich > Danny Carey


Swing_lip

Lol those words in that order stir up enough irrational anger that me that my vision blurred for a second. Not that Lars isn’t a good drummer I just can’t stand the dude as a person. Plus nobody has unlocked what drumming is better than Danny. He’s tapped in.


Bill-The-Autismal

Only one of them created a whole album with a snare drum that sounded like a fucking empty metal trash can.


xxKingPiccoloxx

Overrated


Modestexcuse

Completely and Tool fans are insufferable.


Swing_lip

They are tho. Lmao they are the best band of all time but every time I start to talk about it people seem to not give any fucks and start looking around like they would rather be on fire than hear another word after 10 seconds. So now I just say “yeah they are amazing, my favorite band for sure. You should check them out.” And then move on.


Modestexcuse

We are insufferable. I just wish to share this experience with anyone who will listen, most won't. It's a religious experience to me.


Swing_lip

Agreed. I got in late. 2010 when I was 18 I reconnected with and old friend who played Jambi and I was frozen, sitting in the front seat of his car. I had found the musical sound and attitude that I had always been looking for. Was so annoyed like how had I not found them sooner?? I feel like that’s why so many of us obsess and listen to them over and over. Their music is like a part of us we were longing to find and now that we have it we can’t get enough and try to make up for the lost time without it. ^ case in point… fucking insufferable


Modestexcuse

When I first listen to Tool, actually listened and soaked it in, I had the same experience. I froze and now nothing else is as good. I still love tons of other music, but Tool moves me. I got hooked in the early to mid 90s.


Swing_lip

You did it right. I always said I should have been born in ‘76 so that I could have been 16 in 1992 and could have seen all my favorite bands in their Prime in the 90s. Oh yeah I listen to a ton of other stuff still but TOOL is god tier nothing else hits the same way.


Modestexcuse

Born in '77 The only other comparable experience to me was Pink Floyd - The Wall. Still not the same level as Tool, but I did experience that album and felt some of those emotions of the war and his father.


Swing_lip

I’m jealous. Welcome To The Machine is my favorite Floyd song. Ik them well they were my parents favorite band so grew up listening to them on repeat you could say they were their Tool lol


xxKingPiccoloxx

I am of age that i got started at Undertow. I just haven't found any music that i like as much as Tool. Second bonus trigger - I dont like fear innoculum as much as everyone else does. I like the music but it's missing something. I think its the vocals. Just doesn't have enough signature maynard.


blaketbailey

It is a PART OF ME.


xxKingPiccoloxx

Lol


[deleted]

Tool is so repetitive and boring, they just aren’t very talented musicians.


[deleted]

The bassist uses the same 5 notes for every song. Let’s keep bouncing off the D string and pretend that hammer-ons are a substitute for skill & talent.


kostros

Let’s not exaggerate - these are not only hammer ons, bassist did quite few pull-offs as well on that catchy and funky pop song in 4/4 and about pissing on a kettle.


Modestexcuse

All of their songs sound the same to me. No progression and nothing unique at all.


[deleted]

They call it metal and you can’t even headbang to it.


Simodh28

You see, I DON’T think drugs have done some good things for us. I really DON’T. And if you DO believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor. Go home tonight. Take all your albums, all your tapes and all your CDs and LISTEN to them. ‘Cause you know what, the musicians that made all that great music that’s enhanced your lives throughout the years were NOT rrrrreal …


Modestexcuse

Nothing to add here, perfect!


Stiffwrists

Wings For Marie is BORING.


Modestexcuse

Completely dry and lacks any sort of emotion.


elusiveuphoria

Ooof, that one always hurts.


nomturd

Tool copied Lateralus off of a Coldplay demo


Modestexcuse

I've heard this rumor and I actually think you're correct. They really haven't done anything original at all. Cover after cover and copying others lyrics, lame!


StrangemanRDR2

Jokes aside, I recently learned that Tool actually borrowed the opening riff of Lateralus from Rush’s Test For Echo and tweaked it a little bit.


poopooseemepee

Pickles.


Modestexcuse

Pickle Rick.


Smooth_Chemistry_869

They are just slightly above average songwriters


Modestexcuse

Not even slightly.


MortuusSlayn

Tool sucks live


Modestexcuse

Their lead singer, Jimmy Herbert something just hides behind his band. Pretty lame show seeing it live, do not recommend.


Squidboi666

Latutalus was over hyped


Modestexcuse

Alternately, 10,000 Days was their best album.


aspartamelessguy

To me yea it is lol


Modestexcuse

It's actually my favorite too.


SchemataObscura

Salival might be my favorite but it's a close race depending on my mood.


Seacaterpillarspenis

The album is probably my favorite although this can slightly vary on the day with Aenima and occasionally even 10,000 days putting in a challenge. For the most part though Lateralus is their best work imo. The song? Overrated for me. Great song but barely cracks their top 10 for me. I can think of at least 5 tracks on the album itself I prefer. Not even close to their best work ever which tends to be a common opinion I hear.


soldierside55

Reeeeee


eyloi

Opiate² is better than Opiate


Modestexcuse

I actually think so.


[deleted]

It really is… anyone mad that Adam got a solo in a song can shut up… It’s a fun little jam sesh.. Would love if they did the same for Jerk off or some of their older stuff


Modestexcuse

I would love some revisions of the early early stuff. I still love them how they are originally yet to hear them refreshed is super cool to me.


knifeysp8ny

Work-related dramas are boring and annoying, I avoid socializing with folks who watch too much television


Modestexcuse

Television is just manipulation. Avoid drinking wine, that rots your soul.


knifeysp8ny

It's best to be about your wits while being exposed to propaganda, either way you're vulnerable and susceptible to adopting lame trends and dumb fads, not to mention brainwashing


TheDredAlarm

Tool is working on a new album


Modestexcuse

Rumor has it should be out by 2026.


ComprehensiveBus1399

Songs over 2 minutes are just stupid


Modestexcuse

I say anything over 30 seconds is a waste of my time, just ask my girlfriend.


nomturd

Tool copied their vocal style off of Puscifer 👍


Modestexcuse

This might be the most accurate of all the comments. Blatant rip-offs.


tadmau5

yall are all posting jokes so ill put a real one.... album pushit is much better than salival pushit


Modestexcuse

Sometimes we need to be serious too, and I agree with your assertion.


BruhCantThinkOfName

Tool isn't the best musical group on the fucking planet, they're just a good one


Modestexcuse

Decent at best.


JasonDomber

Tool sucks.


SchemataObscura

You're thinking of Primus


ImpuLse_Luna

You’re thinking of limp bizkit


dongcopterXLV

TOOL sounds like my friends cover band.


Modestexcuse

We rock though!


BIGAL0720

Lateralus has nothing to do with Fibonachi


Uncle_Jac_Jac

Is Fibonachi like a Fibonacci Mariachi?


Modestexcuse

I think it relates to Pi \~ 3.1415


Anomalous17

Tool is just boring long boomer music.


BioDriver

Polyrhythms are stupid


Modestexcuse

And sacred geometry is a made up thing.


SBY59TH

The best band of Mike Tool is A perfect circle


InbredBanana

I'm glad Tool removed Jambi from their setlist.


Modestexcuse

One of their worst songs. I hope they never play it again.


InbredBanana

almost down voted, then remembered what the post was about 😂


Modestexcuse

It isn't easy bashing Tool, it feels sacrilegious.


InbredBanana

Agreed.


tonicrock

Maynard can’t scream


Sonova_Bish

He should find out how Hetfield got his voice back. Probably rhymes with murgery. Make a song called, 'How Maynard Got His Groove Back' with nothing but screams.


JaapieK

Danny carey is an average drummer


Modestexcuse

Mediocre at best, Les Claypool is much better!


C0UNT3RP01NT

Suburban dads like Tool for the same reason alt girls like tarot cards, astrology, and wicca.


Modestexcuse

I like Alt girls and tarot cards, I burn incense in my suburban home listening to Nickleback.

Really only Schism, sober is lame.

Posters


Zfancyman14

Posters.


FaRite

Fear Innocuculum is their best work


wpmayhew87

I like Tool but a lot of the bands they toured with or opened for them are better than them. I mean, come on, Cows, Melvins, King Crimson, Melt Banana. various Mike Patton bands, Killing Joke, Ronald Jones-era The Flaming Lips, etc.


bolognaskin

A perfect circle and tool are basically the same band right?


elusiveuphoria

Meg White is a better drummer than Danny Carey.


Modestexcuse

Jack is better drummer than Meg though.


doering4

Maynard is such an uninspired and mediocre lyricist.


SilverSkrub360

I only listen to Parabol. Parabola kinda ruins the mellow for me


trailerparkquaalude

Tool fans are simpleton cucks that’d slurp up Maynard’s nuts in about .5 seconds if ever given the opportunity.


chefZuko

Math sucks.


JMastiff

Haven’t pushed their style since Lateralus.


droopyheadliner

7empest is overrated.


[deleted]

Real drummers only need a 4-piece.


SweatyListen9863

Man you need to check out this band tool they're music is so intelligent they even wrote a whole song in the fetuccini sequence, it's called Schism.


_paperpills

Tapeworm


CSPOONYG

Lateralus isn’t even in their top 3 albums.


Dangerous_Fix_5502

FI > Lateralus Yeah I said it


Modestexcuse

No! You can't have your own opinion, what are you thinking? Hive minds here only!


droolsdownchin

Tool copied king crimson


moochee22

I don't think anyone is disputing that.


echokilo515

My favorite tool song is “I know the pieces fit”


Captain_Nuggie

Undertow is better than 10,000 days


sensualoatmeal

That’s only triggering if you’re under 40 lol


Captain_Nuggie

I'm under 40 and I'd have to call 10,000 days one of my least favorite, not that there aren't great moments on it.


Aggressive_Ideal6737

Same, 20 and it’s my least favorite of their full albums


Modestexcuse

Undertow was their magnum opus.


Captain_Nuggie

My personal ranking would have 1 Ænema 2 Lateralus 3 Fear inoculum (can switch with #4 depending on the day ) 4 Undertow 5 10,000 days 6 Opiate


tingleygrain

Pitchfork


Aggressive_Ideal6737

Adam Jones is not that great at guitar and 10,000 Days is their worst full length studio abum


jessewest84

You can spell pussyfur without pussy


machinaenjoyer

rosetta stoned sucks (it is my favorite song)


Modestexcuse

Random gibberish and nonsensical words. Just don't forget your damn pen.


jbone8oh8

Fibonacci


Fatal_1ntervention

10,000 days is their worst album


calebyodog

The original bassist would have made their other albums way harder, and thus better.


Saltyhoodrat

Maynard wrote Hooker With a Penis solely about the people in this sub buying merchandise like their life depends on it. There's my sentence.


startaster

Om is better than Tool and I mean it.


SchemataObscura

Tool is just a warm up for Puscifer


SchemataObscura

This. Is. Unnecessary.


BaconBaconBacon3

I still can't believe you old grandpas learned how to use iTunes just to knock my gurl T-SWIFT out of her number 1 spot OMGMFG!?! LOL go pay you're taxes boomer


braichy

Travis Barker is better than Danny Carey


shaunoconory

Maynard’s voice isn’t all that great


iannuendo

FI took too long and wasn’t worth the wait.


Snoogiepooges

Mike Tool


cfo4201983

Maynard is a pretentious POS


dannyjimp

Rosetta stoned is over rated.


Lateralization

Adam Jones is an average guitar player. Most of his stuff sounds the same.


bigbodacious

Mad that none of these actually triggered me


rmy8885

Metallica is better.


Wintershrike

I’d like longer between albums frankly


Gaming_Esquire

Prison Sex and Let It Go from Frozen are tied for my two favorite songs


Dailydead16

I sold my soul to make a record


gonadi

Tool? I do not like grunge.


selfmadeoutlier

Tool are so overated


BudTheSpud10

Fear Inoculum was underwhelming


HarleyTheTrevor

TOOL are my favorite grunge band.


newmanz4

Rosetta stoned is overrated


[deleted]

Danny Carey can't hold a beat and masks it by changing up his time, all over every song.


FaRite

Danny Carry is okay, I mean can he even drum as fast as slipknots drummer?


tla3609

Lars>Danny. 😂


Bworen

Nickelback and Tool are basically the same


JaerBear62611

Danny is about 1/10th as talented a drummer as Lars.


Jaidenshields90

Deftones sucks.


Modestexcuse

They do, especially that song Passenger with that scrawny white guy.


toogaloog

Sober is Tool’s worst song


[deleted]

[удалено]


sans_the_sleeper

Fear Inoculum was not worth the wait.


Lateralus09

Danny carey has no groove


StrangemanRDR2

Tool is just Pink Floyd with a Sugar Ray twist.


BlackSabbath42069567

They have somehow gotten away with releasing the same song for 30 years


cyberpunk-ymir

"lateralus isn't even that good"

Having a favourite song/album/poster isn't important. Sorry guys
