Apart from the obvious, none of those ring any bells.

The fact that you keep referring to Tool because of that one thread is retarded, and just makes you look butthurt because you got owned in it. God, you're retarded.

here was that thread

"tool is not metal because tool is not metal"

wow
ownage

because i think it's sad how a music expert such as yourself cannot even explain how tool is apparently not metal

you didn't even do that though lol

all you can say is that it isn't metal

and then link a bunch of bands that ARE metal (which sound exactly like tool by the way) and try to use that as an argument

and then say that a song like vicarious is in the same genre as a song like comfortably numb (progressive rock)
which is THE dumbest thing, ever

You are all very welcome to discuss music, but don't let this turn into fighting and insults.

HEY FUCK YOU, MAN

OK

your problem is that you're not articulate enough (or at all, to be frank)

you obviously don't know any technical terms that would help you describe the sounds that you hear when listening to whatever the fuck you consider metal, and what you hear when you listen to tool

if you did, it would be a cinch to draw the line between them, but because you don't, you can't articulate anything--all you can say is "my opinion is right because i studied music history for years"

which helps no one

There are a handful of good bands from your dads generation, because they mostly sucked dick.

The end.

Totally agree. I think the Beatles are overrated and for simpletons as well.

SecondClass · January 06, 2015, 02:09:25 PM

Ah, I love all the kids that hate on the best band ever to look cool. It's pretty hilarious.

Ender · January 06, 2015, 02:09:50 PM

Taste in music is based on the person who's listening, not everyone is going to love your favorite song, but that doesn't mean you get to throw a bitch fit over it.

That's my input on this thread, now bye.

Verbatim · January 06, 2015, 02:10:15 PM

and what's funny is that all of the bands that jim considers metal (black sabbath, and i believe he mentioned iron maiden and judas priest), i consider them metal too--not to mention the "big four"

it's just when i listen to tool
i hear very similar sounds and very similar techniques used between them and the seven other bands mentioned

so i say... yeah, tool is metal
if you want to get specific, call it progressive metal, because as far as i know, the "progressive" label just means an attempt to bring artistic merit to whatever genre you're attaching it

it's not rock, because rock is too soft
tool is not soft
it's not fucking anal cunt
but it's not fucking buddy holly or chuck berry either

welp, looks like we have a winner

tool: metal

Verbatim · January 06, 2015, 02:13:29 PM

i find genres useless anyway

music is fucking music

even when i say i hate country, that's a lie, because a lot of johnny cash's stuff is pretty tight

the mentality of using genres to "help find music you like" promotes closed-mindedness
