True enlightenment is realizing you can listen to Tool without interacting with the fanbase in any way shape or form
This comment needs to be pinned to the top.
That's what I've done since 1996 lol
Me with anything I enjoy.
True enjoyment comes from enjoying things without a fandom.
This has been me since I was a kid
@@benamisai-kham5892 I hear you but they are not all as bad as Tools. :)
The number of people who complain about annoying Tool fans is greater than the number of annoying Tool fans.
Nowhere near true
It certainly seems that way
As opposed to all of those "really cool fanbases" that we all appreciate and enjoy.
It's the same with people who cry about gatekeeping they are always 10 times worse than the people who do the supposed "gatekeeping"
As it should be
Love or hate Tool, they are objectively extremely talented musicians.
*Love or hate Tool, they are extremely talented musicians.
Musicianship is dorky. It's about the song. Period.
@@coryvincent1932Not dorky. Nerdy
Maynard is not a great singer. He’s not bad, but to say he is a vocal virtuoso is inaccurate.
Oh and his lyrics are nothing special either.
@@rosamorales729 I like him as a front man, but he's not to everyone's taste. I was speaking in terms of instumentally.
No way Finn said Dig Up Her Bones was bad. Saturday Night, Helena, Graves made some of the best songs in Misfits discog. His voice is honestly unbelievable.
And yet for as much glazing as he gives the Danzig era of the misfits, he doesn't even like Danzig's solo stuff besides Dirty Black Summer 😭
I go back to Graves era more than the Danzig era to be honest haha.
i was loosing hope when finn said that, in glad theres likeminded people here 🙏🙏
Dig Up Her Bones is my favorite Misfits song
Both are great in their own respects, I think it’s hard to compare them because they sound so different from each other. That’s my opinion though.
Got into Tool the last 5 years. The Tool fans have mostly been the chilliest Millennials and Gen X’ers I’ve ever met. Maybe online Tool fans 10-20 years ago were a different story 🤷🏻♂️
TOOL is music for people comfortable with letting the polyrhythms wash over them like a hallucinogenic drug. I dig ‘em
Tool, the band that makes dumb guys feel smart
I always chuckle at the, "Here's the thing!" meme you created. I love it so much that when I'm watching other people on here or even in my conversations irl, I hear it in my head. 😂🖤
*Edited to add- Aww, Finn, I'm so glad to hear that we're good friends!! I already thought so, so it's awesome to have it confirmed. Love ya buddy! 💓
I love that it became a thing when discussing Cincinnati. I can confirm it's the most Southern Ohio thing ever
My boss says "here's the thing" a lot and every time she says it during a conference my mind goes there. Lol.
Oh good its not just me haha
Are you invited to the BBQ? I'm jealous!
*HERE'S THE THING*@@richardsmyth9023
Even tool fans think other fans are irritating.
Cooking crispy bacon is easier than making boxed Mac and cheese. If you’re cooking bacon that’s soggy your inability to cook is the issue lol
Nah, it's a quality issue. All bacon is not created equally. Go buy some bacon from a good butcher shop, then go buy the cheapest bacon from Wal-Mart. Cook them, and the see the difference. Cheap bacon is greasy, soft, and shrinks to be tiny.
@@jeremyweems4916 okay… don’t buy cheap bacon? Pretty sure that’s common sense lol also if your bacon is shrinking because you got the cheap shit that means it’s probably burnt (not soggy) so I’m not sure how that relates to my original comment lol
Finn McKenty >>>>>>Punk Rock MBA
Waiting for Finn McKenty to do a "What killed PRMBA?" lol
Absolutely
They’re both great.
@@GanMic yea. I just think the 2nd channel is more authentic and entertaining. The videos on the MBA seem like they've been 'phoned in' for the last couple of years.
finn would agree with you lol
Saturday Night is one of Misfits best songs of any era, don’t @ me
My hot take: Tool haters talk about Tool more than Tool fans do.
Tool fans haven't been obnoxious since 2019 AT THE LATEST, now every single time I hear about Tool it's from the haters talking shit about their fans and making the same Fibonacci joke every two seconds.
Says the triggered tool fan 😂
Certified tool lover here.
Full diddy
@@lukebryant5017there’s not enough hip hop people in these comments to get your joke here, but I did 💀
@@lukebryant5017 Balls deep?

Throw in some blast beats and sweep picking?
You got a hit.
Dead Embryonic Cells has the best balance between being raw and primal and a good production imo. God I love that song.
Agreed. Loved beneath the remains, but arise is peak sepultura in my book.
@@jonathanmarose9685couldn’t agree more here.
@@jonathanmarose9685
I disagree …Beneath The Remains is Sepultura at their best …the title track, Inner self, stronger than hate, and mass hypnosis are just banger after banger
Max era Sepultura is the best
I get people hating Tool because of their fans. I stayed away from the fanbase because I don't think of myself as some type of genius for listening to them. I just think the music sounds really interesting, I love the vocals, and I enjoy the aethestic.
"I don't think of myself as some type of genius for listening to (tool)"
You just hit the nail on the head.
this also describes how atheists think of themselves (at least the ones typically encountered online)
Tool fans perfectly exemplify the Dunning Kruger effect. The smarter they think they are, the dumber they actually are
Certified Tool enthusiast here.
Nobody cares
@@rosamorales729 😢
I think the progression of tool. From their heavy earlier stuff showing how they like to bring in breakdown moments, they defined their style by letting their music breathe...
Famous monsters slaps idc, it's not the same misfits but who cares.
Amazing album start to finish. Saturday night is one of my faves
1. I'm excited to be best friends with Punk Rock MBA
2. He does hurt my feelings when he calls me the P word though. Confirmed Machine Head and Michael Graves era Misfits fan
3. As someone who grew up in Cincy I can confirm everyone is sick of me talking about Skyline and Larozas lol
There's a lot of P words.
@@TheJbhmetal peanut butter, photograph, and phenomenal just to name a few
@@xVooDooPiMPx which one did he call you?
@TheJbhmetal I'm joking on the fact he's calling Machine Head fans posers. Which is also a joke.
@@xVooDooPiMPx I see
Tool fan that loves Tool fans. Been to 20+ shows, met lifelong friends from all over the country.
Bacon rules, always has, way before the internet, just like Tool
Speak that truth brother dmt is awsome
I will never tire of "here's the thing!"
Dude, my close friend Finn told me about this band called Tool. He says they’re ok.
Imagine Finn McKenty and Anthony Fantano three-to-six hour holiday 'conference' extravaganza
RE: CINCINATI CHILI you should see the 'poutine' that exists, if you watch for it!
Here's my hot take since we're on the chili topic
Chili is not a meal, chili is a topping. Eating chili as a meal is like eating tomato sauce by itself
It can be a good appetizer. Especially with cheese and sour cream on top and some tortilla chips for dipping. FYI tomato sauce is an ingredient in chili so yeah…
Ænima is one of my top albums of all time; I even have the double eye tatted on my arm. But I absolutely refuse to interact with TOOL fans in the wild
Agreed with everything you said
TOOL fans really are the worst.
What's so bad about tool fans?
old tool > new tool
@@andrewtaylor8030they’re pretentious
I have no idea who the fanbase of tool is. I love tool, but I'm not weird about it
Yes, you are.
I don’t know anything about the Tool fanbase but people saying they suck are just as bad as the fanbase. Talent is talent.
I’ve been drinking the Tool-aid since the 90s 🤘😎
I agree with you, my close personal friend, that Danzig era Misfits is some of the greatest music ever recorded, but I did also enjoy Graves era Misfits. And I am a certified Machinehead not-enjoyer.
Journal - June 19, 2024.
It fucking happened again. McKenty has an opinion I share, and it makes me feel gross.
The production on Sepultura's Beneath The Remains, and Arise, IS what thrash should sound like.
I think Graves is better then Danzig however I'm an autistic European who also loves power metal so what do I know
The whole "Tool fan base" thing... the thing is, I think any fanatical fanbase is annoying... lately i've been on a Daft Punk bender and I honestly think Daft Punk fans are the absolute worst, they're completely unhinged and delusional.
To appreciate Tool, you need an attention span that can outlast a 60 second tic tok clip.
Classic Tool fan move: the ol’ “if you don’t like Tool, you just aren’t smart enough to get it” play. Come on you guys. At the end of the day they’re just a rock band. It’s not like you’re listening to some avant-garde jazz or classical piece. Get over yourselves
@EchoMountain47 Of course, you misunderstand what I meant, but that isn't surprising considering your post. Maybe my post was too long for you? Anyways, I'll try to simplify what I said so you can follow along. Tool writes long songs, and you need to have a decent attention span to really appreciate all the nuiances packed into them. They aren't the 3:30 verse, chorus, verse, bridge, outro type songs that are radio friendly. If that's what you like, great! Rock out! But, you need to understand that doesn't do it for everyone. Some people need a little more in their music to scratch that itch, and Tool does it for a lot of people.
@@tonymuzzi3947 lol. You are literally just doubling down on the criticism I made in my earlier reply, basically walking right into it
@@tonymuzzi3947 look man, I’m not trying to be mean about it. In all seriousness, I like some of their stuff. I think Aenima is a great album, but the reason I think it’s great is because it’s concise and focused. I think sometimes long, wandering passages can automatically be assumed to be deep or meaningful when really they might just be boring and overindulgent, and I think their last couple of albums are especially guilty of that. Even on those, though, there are some good moments
@EchoMountain47 What you find wandering and overindulgent, I find nuianced and interesting.
Finn woke up today and chose "Violence" 😂
I'm a Tool fan and I can say for certain, Finn never has to worry about losing a fight to a Tool fan.
Your take on classic metal bands like kreator and Sepultura is absolutely spot on one of the only examples of recent times of an old band redoing some of their old shit that sounds just as good is Cavalera conspiracy redoing old Sepultura
I used to hate tool with a passion. I then heard PART OF ME and fell in love. Then heard JAMBI and ugh best band ever.
Perfect bacon is chewy AND crispy. I make it perfectly every time. And I’m single.
How to say you have never listened to/basically don't like Tool without actually saying it
Maybe one day I'll get invited to a barbecue by my good friend Finn Mckenty along with his friend Sugar Ray. I'll bring the bacon chili.
how could I NOT watch a video with a title like this?
I think the first thing that should have tipped you off was having to order chili on a plate.
I always wanted a friend
tool is sabbath riffs on odd time signatures with an actually good singer, it's not like an acquired taste or anything, it's just good
No
Nic Proctor is spot on. Graves dominated as the Misfits frontman.
11:51 No way , Graves did a great job on American Psycho that was as good as a Misfits album without Danzig could possibly get. I saw them live and it also was an amazing show. It started to suck but started great
Being such an avid watcher of all your content and listening to commensurate style of music it should be clear that I don't get invited to a lot of parties. But if I ever do, I'll be telling everyone about my super close homeboy Finn Mckentys second UA-cam channel
I love the synchronized "Here's the thing".
I also got the Opiate Ep when it first came out. It's still one of my favs. I agree with your comment that their later albums (the last 2) don't do it. All build up with no delivery of the "knockout punch" like the early albums.
I don't know, Finn.... "Lateralus" is a pretty cool song.... I don't think that there are too many bands who could write and record something so splendid and epic.
I feel so privileged to be able to call you a friend now Finn.
I think I watch your second channel more than the main channel I don’t know why I’m here for the impromptu stories
Fin I have to give you credit, your opinion is like a warm blanket that feels like home.
I like Danzig era Misfits the best but some of the Graves songs are really good. They matured with their songwriting and wrote some interesting songs but it’s a whole different thing and I totally understand the blind shitting on Graves-era stuff so all good
I’m glad to hear that you’ve finally accepted my friendship, Finn.
I am now going to tell my dad "my friend Finn said" when we talk about music from time to time and I mention your videos. Seriously though, big fan.
Graeter's Ice Cream is top tier stuff. Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip dude.. Cmon now.
Never thought I'd be called a poser by my good friend Finn for liking Graves-era Misfits.
Thank you for being my friend Mr Punk Rock MBA.
As a metalhead whose best friend is a punk, I’ve never listened to Graves era Misfits because my friend would always say Danzig era or no era
Hey Finn do you like Mortician at all? I got their album when the track with the "When there's no more room in hell, the death will walk the earth" sample at the beginning and have always found real joy listening to that band. They're not great, but for some reason they just do it for me. Over the top programmed drums, simple chug riffs and horror movie samples every 45 seconds haha, good stuff. Wondered if you dig them at all?
I really liked Undertow when it came out…I haven’t heard it since the 90’s though so I don’t know if I’d think the same way about it now
I’m a poser who prefers Graves era over Danzig. It’s solely because the Danzig stuff sounds like it was recorded live through a laptop mic.
Go listen too 12 hits from hell best recording of Danzig vocals with the Misfits you'll ever hear.And I'm a big fan of Graves era Misfits
@@superunknown2812 hell yeah thanks for the recommendation.
Here’s the THING❗️❗️❗️‼️‼️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
Dmt Tool and mushrooms, i wish everyone could experience it like we do boys
We call spaghetti w/chili "three-way chili".
Never ever make fun of Cincinnati chili we eat that shit at least once a week in this household. Love the channel
"Dig up her bones" is a bad ass song.
So, I am your friend. I prefer this channel rather than the main, love the tier lists and deep talks.
I’m a little late this time, apologies Finn.
I think you’ve shared your opinion on misfits before, in a previous video and it’s really the only thing I disagree with you on. Graves era Misfits was iconic!
However, when I saw the “Cincinnati chili” image, I immediately thought it was “makaronia me kima” which is essentially what you call “Greek spaghetti sauce” 😂
So there you have it, you earned your like once again ❤
One of my best friends is from Greece and also lived in Cincinnati... he explained it all to me!
I may not agree with everything Finn says, but goddamn he knows how to get views with thumbnails like this. Man knows how to market!
Also yes death metal, thrash, & punk sound best when the production is RAW!
I'm no Tool fanboy necessarily, I think they're fine, they're good, but Finn...you're cruisin' for a bruisin' here brother. That's not from me, I'm just referring to their fanbase. You're one brave soul my man. lol
I agree. Be careful 😂
Dude, we chatted on linkedin briefly and you respond to my comments on youtube occasionally. We are of course friends.
10:20 HELL YEA BROTHER (*driving rn*)
I think modern production sucks because triggered/programmed drums played to a click and then further edited for any imperfection.
And the massive amount of compression in the mixing and mastering that’s popular right now.
Those two factors remove so much of the tension and dynamics that made the pre digital era of production so much more compelling.
I am a casual TOOL enjoyer, I listen to Opiate and Fear Innoculum only and have yet to actually dive into the other albums (though I have heard many of their most famous songs)
I'm sure that the hardcore fans probably consider these blasphemous statements and im okay with that
Not sure if I'm "hardcore" or not, But I've been listening to them since I was 12 back in 2001.
Not blasphemous. It's just interesting that you've heard only their first and last album. Isn't it interesting, though, hearing the evolution of their sound?
Yes LOL Tool has almost 50 masterpieces and better than any bands best work.
Those two Michael Graves albums were awesome
Chili spaghetti looks AMAZING
hearing you talk about "would like to hear this but with good production" right after watching your "Rockism" video is just funny
wonder why he named it "everything by Tool Sucks"...almost like hating on a good band for views is a decent strategy
Tool just has so many layers to their post 2000 albums. They mastered the art of recording an album. I was telling a friend the other day that tool must know how there albums are gonna sound while tripping also. I basically believe that danny carey and adam jones witch craft is paying off.
I always liked Tool but didn’t know them that well until Fear Inoculum finally coming out after 13 years. I like lateralus too.
Famous Monsters is fantastic. I like Forbidden Zone and Dust to Dust. I'm going to listen to it right now.
One thing though that I think the Graves era had going for it that the Danzig era lacked were the intro tracks. But that's probably just because most or a handful of my favorite albums all have intros.
Imagine getting waaaay better at double kick and people start saying “bro it sounds like shit now” 🤣🤣
I’ve listened to Tool since I first heard Prison Sex in 93 or so. I’ve never gotten caught up in the insanity behind the fan base and Maynard’s lyric meanings. And if this song goes along with this song. You can’t deny the talent of Danny Carrey. You can’t deny Maynard’s ability to make prog music digestible for the masses.
I'm a bacon hipster; I loved it before it was cool, before the internet. If you know how to cook it properly, then no, it's definitely not overrated. But of course you're going to think differently if all you eat is the dry, overcooked crap they serve for hotel breakfast. EVERYTHING hotel breakfast is crap. Would you also badmouth scrambled eggs, just because the hotel variety tastes like congealed cardboard?
Famous Monsters is really catchy, it's a fun record. Forbidden Zone, Scream, Saturday Night, Descending Angel, Fiend Club are really good imo. I can't really compare the Danzig and Graves era Misfits tbh, it's like 2 different bands.
Speaking of Sepultura, Max and Igor (Cavalera Conspiracy) rerecording the early albums has been awesome. Morbid Visions, Bestial Devastation, and Schizophrenia still hold that old raw sound but just cleaned up a bit and mastered in a way you can hear it all. They really kept the soul of those albums. It really shows you can record something with todays tech and keep the sound of a late 80's underground release.
How when the re-recordings lack the atmosphere of the originals and sound mechanical. That is an epic fail in my book.
I think Graves era Misfits kinda rules… but, then, I’m a Gen X metalhead. And I wouldn’t even really try to compare them… it’s basically two totally different bands.
Definitely Danzing over Graves but...10 000% Graves over Jerry Only as a singer 😱
New plugins are making everything mix ready. Is that going to be bad for bedroom musicians who are trying to make metal aka thrash or something like it?
I like both misfits eras, does that make me a half poser?
That Sepultura album sith skull is my all time favorite metal record from old school. The skeletal (no pun intended) producttion , tight playing , writing all on point. Taking into account knowing how more cool they gonna get in the future makes it even more hard. This is like “Resrvoir Dogs” of Sepultura. Dont know how to explain it.
bacon suffers from the same problem as scrambled eggs. it's cold 2 seconds after it hits the plate
The production is phenomenal since it’s on a 16th track and hear the phone ringing that’s the point they’re that good they don’t need the studio they play exactly what they play(opiate)
Tool have actually got better with every release
Sure Graves-era misfits might not be “the misfits”, but it’s definitely a fun album and Saturday night especially is a great tune. I could be wrong about this, but I get the impression that they were just going out there and doing what they loved doing without Glenn. I also love how it’s a punk album that is completely apolitical.
Opiate and undertow are solid😂
Hush music video > all other tool videos
LOL at the Tool comments. HATERS. I've been to 7 concerts and the fan base has always been great. Also, their newer stuff is fucking incredible and better than any bands best.
