Topic: What is with this band?

Posted under Off Topic

One of my friends told me about a band called Tool, so I Googled "songs by Tool" and I found this link. Look at some of their songs, "Hooker With A Penis", "Prison Sex", "Faaip de Oiad", etc. What the fuck is with these guys?

Didn't listen to songs in the 90s? :) Green Day's album was called "Dookie" and had one of those Where's Waldo style art covers of monkies throwing poo everywhere. It was just the thing, for some reason.

Oh man, Tool is pretty great.

I highly recommend their Lateralus and 10,000 Days albums. I wasn't into earlier Tool too much myself though, but I know their earlier stuff is pretty popular too.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sQBH7CrRxUo Lateralus is one of my faves.

Bit of trivia: The syllables in the lyrics of Lateralus follow the Fibonacci sequence) up and down. (Fibonacci sequence is 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, etc).

"Black" (1) "then" (1) "white are" (2) "all I see" (3) "in my infancy" (5) "red and yellow then came to be" (8) "reaching out to me" (5) "lets me see" (3).

"As below, so above and beyond, I imagine" (13) "drawn outside the lines of reason" (8) "push the envelope" (5) "watch it bend" (3).

It's pretty deliberate and pretty interesting that they were able to incorporate it into a song so well.

That's nothing.
Try Bloodhound Gang.
Most famous of course for their song "The Bad Touch".
They also have songs like "The Ballad of Chasey Lain", and "A Lap Dance Is So Much Better When the Stripper Is Crying".

The only songs I listened to were from Pantera. Man, Pantera was THE shit back then. Cowboys From Hell was fucking awesome.

And I just realized something, EDFDarkAngel1 is the only one on the forum without a Patchi avatar.

Not anymore. And I'm assuming none of you have heard Lords of Acid before?

I've never heard of them until recently, 5 minutes ago like two years ago. Just know... aenema or so.ething but wasn't sure if tool was the song name or the band's...
