Such a bold claim, considering you probably haven't stuff from some of the great bands of the world, mainly stuff from the US which is where I assume you live.:|

Listening to music from 60's 70's 80's 90's, all the time, I can honestly say, Tool is the most unique since pink floyd. I like english bands like muse, don't get me wrong, but tool is the best

Way to read my post man!:roll:

I like them a lot and they was awesome live. I think Lateralus is their best.APiranhaAteMyVa

I don't mind Tool, but they're far from the greatest band ever.

I love their music but they are the worst band live. ever

Maynard stood behind the drum set and never left that spot the entire show. No crowd interaction. No deviation from what the recorded songs sounded like.

May as well just went to the amphitheater and listened to CDs

Didn't bother recording it

Band is pretty good,

If you guys want to watch a really awesome 3 hour long podcast with the main singer Maynard Keenan then go check out the Joe Rogan experience,

Buddy... *Takes off Glasses* Don't bump 5 year old threads.

[QUOTE="Hexum-311"][QUOTE="LoG-Sacrament"]there are much better bands out there. LoG-Sacrament

LMAO!!!!

[QUOTE="LoG-Sacrament"][QUOTE="Hexum-311"] Name one that has the talent that Tool has. You might not like their sound but you cannot deny their talent.cfstar

LMAO!!!!

Sure this is someone's opinion, but I do question whoever prefers quantity over quality. Nickelback can play guitar solos, does that make them rock gods?

Of course not.

And Nickelback play solos? i've never heard a single Nickelback song with a solo.

Then again i've only heard those obnoxious singles from when i go to my mom's house, she loves them.

I accidentally heard Bottoms Up and they performed a fairly decent guitar solo... Thats the only praise I'm giving Nickelback, and I use the term "praise" loosely

I'm not denying they can't play their own instruments.. Then again, so can Justin Bieber, Jonas Bros, etc.

[QUOTE="Hexum-311"][QUOTE="LoG-Sacrament"]there are much better bands out there. LoG-Sacrament

Dear lord your comparing a lot of straight up thrash metalcore(2 of which LOG and Trivium are well past their prime) to what could be considered one of the most experiemental and musically talented groups of the past 20 years i could give you Gojira but thats bout it.

Pantera and tool are two of my biggest influences.

Bodoms past their prime aswell.

Tool isnt, tool dissapears and reappears and strangely one of the very few bands have put out loads of amazing albums.

Tool are ok.

I love Hooker with a Penis but most other tracks are just ok.

Also, to the people saying that King Crimson was a huge influence on Tool, here's something interesting (part of an interview with Robert Fripp):

"You recently did a mini tour with Tool. What, if anything, do you feel King Crimson has in common with their music?

The Crimson tour with Tool is one of the two most enjoyable tours Ive ever done. The first was with G3 in 1997. I happen to be a Tool fan. The members of Tool have been generous enough to suggest that Crimson has been an influence on them. [Tool guitarist] Adam Jones asked me if I could detect it in their music, and I said I couldnt. I can detect more Tool influence in King Crimson, than I can hear King Crimson in Tool."
