[highlight]1.[/highlight] best lyrics of all time
what you might notice from Tool songs is their lyrics are off the hook! example from the undertow single "prison sex".
[quote]
i have found some kind of temporary sanity in this
shit, blood, and cum on my hands
i've come round full circle
my lamb and martyr this will be over soon
you look so precious
you look so precious now
you look so precious
[/quote]
"prison sex" focuses on sexual child abuse and how it will never stop.
too hardcore for you?!? the single "lateralus" from the album named the same uses the fibonacci sequence.

This.
Tool is good but you are in the wrong section.
Scroll down and you will find the music section
I gurantee no one actually read the thread and simply scrolled down and rated the OP tool.
wow look at how many people find this article useful
I once saw a guy wearing a Tool t-shirt in college.
The hilarious thing was, it was just a black shirt with "Tool" written on it.
I prefer Queen.
this is useful
I knew a New Zealand kid who worshiped this band. I find it terrible.
[QUOTE=Pascall;20238665]I prefer Queen.[/QUOTE]
oh man too bad they're NOTHING ALIKE
man i rated u tool XD
[QUOTE=shibbywalkkpth;20238799]oh man too bad they're NOTHING ALIKE[/QUOTE]
You said the best band ever.
I think Queen is better than Tool.
Okay.
This is stupid. You sound almost as absorbed as Maynard himself.
Tool is great. Danny Carey is awesome. However, they are just a band. That's it. Some dudes playing in a group.
Calm down.
Tool is poop compared to system of a down, I can list more but I don't have to.
That was an unnecessary amount of periods I used there..
Lateralus is probably my favorite song.

SOAD is poop compared to Nirvana.
I am now listening to tool.
[QUOTE=davidofmk771;20238895]SOAD is poop compared to Nirvana.[/QUOTE]
Nirvana is poop compared to Pantera.
OP, you might well think that Tool are the best in the world, but not everyone does, musical taste is all opinion, it's like arguing over religion.
good band
