I went to a Tool tribute band...

I just can't get into Tool.

The "Tool is more original than any band under the sun" line seems to crop up during every one of these discussions...maybe I'm expecting something more because of that?

just listened to isis, they have some really cool riff's and ambience in their music, however, why do they ruin it with screaming?

imo screaming the whole song sounds ****ing retarded and is a waste of talent. bullet for my valentine is an example of a band that uses screams in the right context and sparingly(most of their songs) screaming all day long just ruins songs

makes me sad //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

i thought you were joking about that sun 0))) crap its just droning garbage at least tool plays their instruments, that sun 0))) stuff sounds like someone keeps plucking one string with some idiot making noise in the background WHITECHAPEL FTW

Did the New York Times do an article about Whitechapel? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/peace.gif.2db28b618ed8d1964ebbe2f5021d2c39.gif

Just becasue you don't like it doesn' mean its shit, I personally don't like whitechapel to me they sound like just another generic metal band, but thats just my opinion.

I can appreciate tool, but definitely not a band I go out of my way to listen to majority of the time.

Matter of opinon, I personally love Aaron Turners vocals, both the soft regular(which I agree are too few) ones and the harsh growls.
