Imagine – Assimilation by the BORG

They knew how to put together a good song with out using a 4/5 time signature where the vocals are timed to the Fibonacci sequence.)

this is not possible

Nothings impossible for Tool

What's wrong with Lady Gaga?

What? I've never heard a Lady Gaga song in my life (a 22 year old at work doesn't believe me, but I really haven't). I was simply commenting again on popularity vs. actually being good and the relative measures of each. I understand that Lady Gaga is extremely popular, more popular than Tool. That does not mean, at least to me, that Lady Gaga is a better musician/singer/artist than the any member of the band Tool (or all of them collectively).

[Army of GOD]

That dun make sense...

No one ever mentioned anything about Tool being popular. I was just saying THEY SUCK AND I HATE THEM.

I'm not trolling!

I'll admit I did form that last sentence in a pretty trollish way, but I really don't like them at all. I've heard about 4 songs of theirs, and they're god awful.

Like, each of the songs was like 10 minutes long, with the same repetitive shitty riff in the most asymmetrical time signature and the singer sounds like he's sucking on eggs while attempting to sing.

[MeDeFe]

I'm not trolling!

Of course you weren't.

[BigBallinStalin]

Whoa is us.

Where is the line between "trolling" and "genuinely stating one's opinion"?

[jonesthecurl]

right there.

I've only seen Lady Gaga sing in a video of a TV interview. She was at an electronic keyboard, playing and singing. I don't even think she was singing one of her songs. (I think it was normally sung by another artist.) Her singing was good; her playing was good (no really) but the thing that hit me (because I look at these things) was she was actually having a blast. This wasn't some big mega concert where everything was way too loud, the lights are always way to hot and you are always too tired, but a friendly chat with an anchor and she was having a blast.

I have trolled certain forums by stating my genuine opinions in a "straightforward" manner. Much fun can be had on the Internet if you know where to look.

AoG and BBS-

I used to hate Tool as well (for the same reasons you stated AoG), but only because I was only familiar w/ their radio stuff. My buddy, who is a huge fan, made me start listening to them. I like them a lot now. It sucks that radio only plays some of their most boring, radio-friendly songs, but really they are quite talented. It is an acquired taste, I'll admit. And yes if you're on shrooms then that's a whole other experience.

[BigBallinStalin]

Shrooms, you say? Hmm....

TAAKA vodka is an acquired taste too. =P

My friends have incessantly hammered my skull with Tool, but I still find the singer's voice lame and lackluster, the lyrics OKAY + YAWN, but I do like the guitarist, bassist, and drummer, but not enough to become a fanboy.

Heard. You can't win 'em all.

AHA, HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA That's funny

[The Bison King]

I'm not someone whose taken in by pure technical ability so Tool doesn't have a lot to offer to me. I know that their songs have meaning but it's just to dark and foreboding for me to listen to on a regular basis. However the 2 times I've been Shrooming I thought that Tool Was the undisputed best band in the world! When the shrooms wore off so did that sentiment.

[MeDeFe]

Woe is us.
