    Fun Fact...Maynard (vocalist of Tool) and Morello (guitarist of Rage) were roommates before either one got big. Maynard was almost the vocalist for Rage. Morello thought Zack was the better fit and then introduced Maynard to Adam Jones (guitarist of Tool) whom Morello knew since high school and the rest is music history 😊

      @@chrisrichardson5641 Wrong actually. Neil might have years, albums, experience under his belt in comparison but as a drummer I can hand on heart say Danny could play anything Neil did and not vice versa. Neil was more rounded than Danny in use of sound but he was also the primary force behind Rush with much more creative control. Danny is much more technically proficient in odd time signatures mashed with polyrhythms from every single limb at the same time.
      They are both equally praised as being the greats in drummingalong with others, with strengths and weaknesses as all rounded musicians being a different question.

But it’s based on a farcical notion of having a virtue lead. The issue is anyone who claims highest virtue gets to play king of the hill. And will rule by death and their own lust for power.
      And de la Rocha is pretty much precisely a proponent of that. Like it’s not shown itself to be inherently unstable.
      However. Rage is best for what it is. Rage against the machine. Their rage is not wrong. And it’s expressed viscerally and well. It’s not wrong to feel that rage. It’s what you do with it.

    Welcome to the Tool army! :-) You hit the nail on the head right away - Tool is one of the only bands I can think of where you actually feel smarter after listening to them. The singer (Maynard James Keenan) loves to write complex esoteric lyrics on bizarre subjects not usually found in rock songs. 46&2 is actually based on a concept conceived by Carl Jung and later expounded upon by esoteric researcher Drunvalo Melchizedek (yeah, I never heard of him either) that the next stage of human evolution will result in the addition of two chromosomes, resulting in the evolved humans having a total of 46 (instead of the current 44) autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes. The "shadow" is also a Jungian concept - the part of the self that one hates, fears and oppresses. Don't worry, most of us don't really understand it either - it just gives us a ton of stuff to think about. And I think Maynard wants it that way - the struggle to understand the meaning in abstractly expressed lyrics is where the art lies.

    It's about literally evolving as he's still alive. 'Forty-Six & Two' refers to the number of human chromosomes plus two more, which would make him something "more" human. Or not human at all.

      It’s actually an homage to Karl Jung. 46 and 2 being a representation of our human nature plus the extra two “ chromosomes “ which represent our greed, and malicious nature that comes about from the external world. The shadow was a cornerstone of Junganian philosophy, whereas one cannot truly know one’s self without accepting all the greed malice selfishness and violence. The best man is one that knows he is capable of murder but also knows those are negative traits that should not be acted upon. So it’s a double metaphor because Maynard is a puzzle maker. Lol

    Tool’s catalog is quite broad. You can go as deep as you want. A little something for everyone. I understand the trepidation with their longer intros but they really set the mood to take you on a journey, and yes headphones. I would suggest Right in Two or Reflection if you’re looking for something chill.

Also, I know everyone recommends stuff and I probably did on your Pot reaction but check Reflection, Pneuma and Lateralus.

    It's not about being like everyone else but giving it a try and that's what you did. The long instrumentals are my favorite part. They build up, tear it apart, rebuild, tear apart and leave in an epic way. It's a journey. With the right mindset, you'll go in and enjoy it more.
    One thing I've learned is to manage expectations. And as you give any music more listens and time, it grows on you. Almost always. I've done this and grown to like other genres. I grew up mainly Hip-Hop with some Rock here and there but mainstream stuff. When I started listening to more Rock and then delve in Metal... That was it. I started getting into Metal so much more. I then go into some electronic music too! Now I listening to classic bands I never listened to. Soon gonna start with Jazz. Too much to learn and take away as a Hip-Hop, I know that much. This is why I gotta get into it.

Now your journey begins, step over the threshold of your limited and stifled misunderstandings. This is no welcome, this is your freedom, this is the universe beyond mortal existence. Your soul has been screaming to you about his world, your mind heard it but could not understand the screams. Tool is the key.
