I'm still wondering whether to get into the Tool thing or not. I'm friendly towards the band, but I'm worried about getting too far in, and cautious since it seems too popular. But I will, one day, since so far I liked what I've heard.

NIN - I can't hate it, it's some solid music as well. Plus, Adrian Belew, one of my music heroes, contributed a few solos to NIN, and that's a good enough reason to like it for me

And if we go deep into the whole satanic thing - ask some hardcore Muslim, they think all music is from the devil. But, if we don't stretch it - still, a lot of modern music, with evil lyrics or not, has its' basis in various mystic/occult concepts. Numbers, symbols, names, etc.... Then you might want to remember where metal in general takes it's origins from...

Darkness in music is not often just darkness for the sake of darkness. Listening to bright, relaxing music is entertaining, listening to dark and disturbing music is educational. On one hand, it can take your mind places where you wouldn't dare normally go, on the other hand - where there's understanding of darkness, there's room for hope. It might sound odd, but listening to dark and outwardly unpleasant music is often very refreshing.

Now stop taking everything you hear in music literally (if there is such a thing) and you might find it all to be not so bad. But, again, that's a subjective thing.

It IS sad however that you think that FREAK Manson is a great lyricist. He's an evil person, ask my mom, she hates him too. My mom thinks I have good musical taste, because I like alot of different music, and I know what's good, and I stay away from that crap like Manson, Tool, Slipknot, etc. My mom said there was an interview with Paul McCartney once where he was asked WHAT KIND of music he liked, and he said "Good music", and I like "Good music" too. Manson, Fear Factory, Tool, NIN, and Slipknot and all the other bands like that aren't "Good music", they're "Bad music".

how old are you kid 12-13?

One bad thing about TOOL is everyone I know who starts listening to them gets rid of all their other music and only listens to TOOL and always converses about how "TOOL are the greatest band ever" and any other music is "not as good as TOOL" but oh well.

YEAH! that's so right dude, i have a couple of friends who are hardcore fans of tool and yeah they like other bands also BUT they always keep saying like "yeah they're good but not as good as tool" i dont know maybe tool use subliminal messages in their music

.

Im not a big fan of tool and im a fan of them because of maynard he's just an awsome singer! but when APC came out, my interest in tool faded; Apc style is more simple and let's say more "Mellow" and im more into that.

SHUT UP, I HAVE A SORE IN MY MOM

1. farlo, read the thread
2. nemoxs, stop replying to every post just because it tickles your peepee to look like a big man in front of RamonesFan
3. I like sugar ray, a lot. Why? Because I find the music and lyrics to my liking. It's a real shame if you don't ASK ME IF I CARE.
Seriously, shut the fuck up. Some people like some shit, other people like other shit, it's called your birthday is not the dragon in the montage, stop pretending like it's math is off by one and the house is under siege before I FUCKING KILL YOU.

Okay, to RamonesFan:

Marilyn Manson is an official in the Church of Satan. So yes, he is a satanist, in the actual meaning.

NIN, which is mostly just Trent Reznor, is not satanic. It switches between agnostic/atheist, but never goes into devil worship.

I'm starting to think you may be mormon, in which case, the body is a temple, and you don't want to pollute yourself.

That's a very valid viewpoint. However, music is only music. I listened to Manson and NIN in highschool, and I never became satanic.
The last two CD's I bought were from "Scraping Foetus Off The Wheel", a politicallly-minded industrial band, and "Apollo 440", a techno-dance group. (and no, I'm not just trying to be pretentious by stating this)

These are two distinct genres, neither of which will permanently mark me as a member of either stereotypical "fanbase".

So base music on whether you enjoy it, now what you fear it may say about you. If there is a God, do you really think he will punish you for all eternity because you listened to "the Dope Show" a couple times?
