@Ralph Richter Boy bands have more to say and more complicated music than tool. The new album simply is 10 minute songs of nothing but the same t hing over and over. And people call that shit progressive.
@Matthew Anthony I think there are way too many people who once finding out someone disagrees with them need a safe space with play dough and coloring books, how sad.
I've listened to Tool enough, but I just can't see what's so great about it. I listened to Nirvana and I honestly think most songs are shit, I'm not sure about this Tool band, but definitely better than Nirvana haha
@@tomc6583 the music is dark and disturbing. Maybe it's enjoyable for some people just not for me. As someone else mentioned I rock the Grateful Dead along with Icaros and hindustani classical and it blows me out of my mind every time. Safe travels ✌️
I always thought the same thing everyone always tells me I need to listen to certain albums by them because they're much better but I've listened to all of them and their all boring as fuck
I don't care about Tool or their music, but I DO hate the fact that everyone claims the song with the fibonacci sequence or golden ratio or whatever was literally a genius thing which only a genius could do, but realistically it's just a fucking simple concept who nobody bothered to do before. Treating it like it's an incredible achievement but it's literally nothing.
Lateralus is my favorite song of all time, and I’ve always thought the whole “Fibonacci Sequence” thing is dumb, and it doesn’t matter… it’s just an amazing song 😊
Yeah...as with much of "Tool" (and I'm a fan...just not a crazy fan) it's simple creativity of a concept that sounds complicated, but isn't really. I do have to give "Tool" credit for their creativity and amazing sound (plus Carey is a best on the kit for sure). You are right about the "Fibonacci" thing...who cares? I always thought it was meaningless as well...haha! Just a novel idea is all.
I saw Meshuggah open for Tool in 2002, funny you should have mentioned them... Tool was great in the 90's. Like it or not, those first few albums will remain classics. Out of the 7 times I've seen Tool, seeing them just after 'Undertow' came out in 1993 was one of the most crazy, energetic, and violent shows I've ever seen; to date. The ENTIRE crowd was one big mosh pit!! Back when they were more of a straightforward metal band.. As compared to their later music. Money, and fame ruined Tool, as is usually the case. They absolutely do suck now. 75$ for a C.D!!?! 🖕

I've listened to a couple episodes n only one was legitimately funny which is ironic since they're catagorized as comedy & also music critics. Lol critics are the worst. Especially critics with podcasts cuz they have no one to argue or debate with do it's just then jerking themselves n reach other off. The only thing actually talk about in this episode, with the exception of a few snide uninformed comments that took no real thought or intelligence to make, was the Phenomenon of Tool n mostly not even that but a specific group of fans. Pretty low cheap. Similar to the Led Zeppelin episode. I can't believe I listened to both these so the way through. The LZ episode was a lil better but this one was just terrible. N I'm not just saying that bcuz I'm a fan of Tool. I can handle ppl disagreeing with me n not looking the same thing as me but don't label n generalize everyone who likes a band according to the worst elements of the fan base. That's like saying all black ppl r drug dealers n bad ppl bcuz a large group of them are. It's the same logic. Tool have legitimately improved my life by introducing me to Bill Hicks, Carl Jung n so soooo much more and I love their music, they've inspired me to be creative n open my mind n they're quality artists. This episode was garbage. There only funny part was how meta, ironic, n hypocritical it was. These guys literally have a fucking PODCAST not a talk show where they interact with fans or other ppl n just criticize ppl who create art, they wouldn't even have a show if it wasn't for these bands, they contribute nothing, except for an occasional laugh or interesting bit of trivia.

1) Ive never liked Tool arrogantly or mocked people who dont. 2) Every song sounds similiar because they have their own distinct sound, many bands try to do that and fail. Is this a criticism? 3) The music isn't complex enough? Damn near every top 40 track of the last 50 years is a few chords, it appears nothing short of Beethoven would satisfy and I'm sure you would call the fans elitist. 4) You generalize that every tool fan is a preacher with a tool shirt. If you've ever been to one of their concerts you would see that half the crowd is white collars that you would never peg for a Tool fan. 5) Your main criticism is the sanctimonious attitude of "tool fans" (already shown to be a baseless strawman) and the whole rant is an ad hominem attack claiming your own superior taste in music. 6) Its not shakespeare or Robert Frost, there is no mysteries of the universe being unraveled but it provides people with a sombre backdrop to contemplate their existence. Your comment about not wanting to hear about Maynards struggle to find god as annoying is the dumbest thing I've ever heard, so what they hell can anyone sing about that is worthy enough of your attention? Hookers and blow? The fact that Maynard criticizes himself and had one song where he critiques fans that call him a sell out is testament to their perfectionism. I'm not saying their perfect nor care to convince you but unless this was a really well acted troll you guys have no idea what you're talking about.
@Jeremy Harris because looking at Tool based on how others talk about it is the standard for what to think about this band, nevermind actually listening and coming up with your own reasons.
Perfect Circle has 1 good song. 1 and we all know what song Im talking about. And on that note why would I want to listen to another band with the same singer, because it just sounds like the other band they're in?
Tool: the official soundtrack of being so pretentious that you won’t allow your music to stream on anything other than UA-cam for the sole reason of not wanting to be mainstream Edit: I learned Schism on bass, and the hardest part really is trying to remember if you’re about to go into a chorus or if you’re about to hit the middle of the song.
Everyone has their own taste, but if you're an average rock listener like the guy in the reddit post then of course tool will sound like the most mindblowing thing and to an extent they have some interesting music, but if you really dive into other music then you'd realize their is MUCH more "complex" or "smart" music out there that makes tool seem smaller than people think.
Can I know what those other musicians are? Idrc about this whole ranking of people like “oh my god tool is the best thing ever” but I do really enjoy there music and think it’s very unique. So I’d be curious to know what bands make you think their music isn’t all that crazy.
@@jordanbodkin3517tool is definitely progressive and unique. its not a hierarchy or anything, I enjoy some tool myself but its annoying when close minded people hear them and think it's superior to all other music. there's just a huge variety of things out there is what I'm saying, when it come to tool, they're a good psychedelic progressive grunge band IMO. They don't really branch out of their formulas so the cool aspects of them get worn out for me. When I hear classical music or AFX or close to the edge by yes it can sound more "complex" to me than tool. But it doesn't mean anything. Its not a hierarchy like I said.
@@jordanbodkin3517 Dillinger Escape Plan, Tesseract, Meshuggah, Car Bomb, Between the Buried & Me, Animals As Leaders, The Dear Hunter (not metal, but one of todays best prog rock bands), Thank You Scientist. All of these bands are musically crazier than Tool. Tool's use of "odd" time signatures is honestly incredibly basic compared to anything Dillinger, Meshuggah, Tesseract, BTBAM or Car Bomb does. It's laughable.
@@flagmuffin1221those are some of the most well known artists in the underground scene and some of the least interesting I'll give you some real obscure innovative progressive music, Kayo Dot, maudlin of the Well, Pan of Salvation, Tiamat, Katatonia, Fantomas
I have my own podcast and we just did an episode about Tool, including a bit where the episode's co-host calls Tool fans the Kanye fans of metal. For most of the episodes, which are uploaded to UA-cam, we're lucky if we get 50 views. In the five days since we uploaded our Tool episode, it has gotten over 1800 views. And after reading some of the comments there, hearing you tear the Tool fans a new one provided some nice catharsis. So thank you.
I’m a little older now. Tool actually is my favorite band. This is really good. I was kinda that dude they talk about, listening to this is like listening to your own voice recorded. “Every tool fan thinks they’re not one of the bad ones”
I liked Tools first ep. Opiate. shorter songs. Had it on tape. Got me away from listening to hair bands like poison .I'm back to hair bands now. much happier. Good broadcast.
@@jeffstuart4424 To be fair hair metal bands have a lot more talent. Most of those bands have guitarists who can actually play solos. Some of those bands have singers who can actually sing. Most of those bands understand how to construct a song. Tool doesn't have any of those htings. Instead they just sing about anally fisting someone. Yeah real special.
@@jondoe-nc9qo your right! You listen to any 80s song and its got great guitar solos. Lot of people judge them for being glam metal but if you actually listen they could play. Far better then nirvana. Nirvana has 5 songs I like so I'm not hating on them but honestly they were way overrated. They weren't great musicians. They just came up with something different when everyone was burned out on hair metal. To me Alice in chains was far better. But back to 80s of the greatest guitarist list I'm pretty positive most come from the 80s.
@@jeffstuart4424 I'll be honest. I've mostly been indifferent to the band, liked a few songs until I understood their meanings. It was largely the new album. A bunch of 10 minute songs that don't change for at least the first 6 minutes of each song, couldn't give each song more than that and I like long songs. That was when I really stopped and realized what they really are. The only conclusion I could come up with especially with the new album is it must be music made for people who are high, and that's fine for those people. I don't hate anyone for liking them, their choice, but I can't call them talented when their music doesn't show it. Helll the break in the previously mentioned song I don't know what they're doing but it sounds like the guy is raping his guitar and everyone back in the day loved it.
@@jondoe-nc9qo couldn't agree more. I grew up listening to rush, black Sabbath, van Halen, dream theatre, 80s metallica, and so many more talented band's. Rush made a few 10 minute songs and there was so much going on that the song didn't seem 10 minutes. Not a huge rush fan but I understand why people are because they are so talented. This new tool song feels like an eternity. Sounds pretty similar to the last album they made as well. When people say tool is talented I pretty much laugh! Other then Cary they're pretty average. So many more talented band's people are completely missing. It would take me the length of the new tool song to list all of them lol. Not cause I need to think but cause its so many
I seriously thought I was the only one who hates Tool and A Perfect Circle ⭕️ Anything Maynard touches sounds like shit, the same song over and over again.
+Joseph Santiago Crazy part is Manyard never seems to change his vocal sound and tone all these years. Every band and song he sings/been in sounds the same.
I really like Lateralus and 10 000 days and I have to say that Danny Carey is one hell of a drummer. The thing I really dislike are the idiot fans of the band
Thank you very much. I laughed so hard at this - so much of this is true and describes 80% of the Tool fans I have encountered. I am one who loves quite a bit of complex music (prog metal, some prog rock, shred, technical death metal, technical thrash metal, some jazz fusion, some classical, for example, in addition to many types of 'non-complex' music), but Tool have always bored me.
@Eric Byrd Indeed they are...I tried to appreciate them from multiple angles and at different times in my life, and each time I came to the same conclusion - Tool's music is nothing special. It is boring, repetitive pabulum masquerading as something "complex" or "proggy." The so-called "intelligent" lyrics could have been written by an angsty, pretentious teenager.
@@jdthornton78 taste and beauty are subjective. Of course your opinion is the most attractive to you that's why it's your opinion and not mine, is this "too complex" to understand? What a bunch of tools.
So does Bach Cello Suite #1 suck together with Yoyo Ma? The real tools are the people who don't understand how subjective music taste is. As I read and listened to, not even 10 min of the podcast I realize how general and vague the criticism is. Tool is right, what a bunch of tools in over a year this podcast has 95 likes and 83 dislikes lol...
Another good thing about Deftones is that they never stayed with the same styles they always tried sum new. They make good music and it's just as spacey and weird like tool but they don't front intelligence
Alienated myself back in 2001 when Lateralus came out, i thought they were It, but then i discovered other bands through the years, greater bands than tool, and since 10k, which was kind of a failure, like leftovers from their previous album, and since those years until now, been let down by the band, actin like douchebags primadonnas, treatin their audience disrespectful, thing is that i believe they are totally overrated,maybe they are good, but for me they are just not that great anymore, guess i got smart imo lol
Just spent the last 3 weeks going through all your videos. It slowly dawned on me that you guys are naming off all of the bands my brother used to force me to listen to. I thought I didn't like Tool because my brother sucked, but it turns out the bands also sucks; in addition to him sucking.
I don't consider myself a "Tool fan", but I like some of the music. This may surprise you, but there are some of us who don't buy into all the mystical bullshit and just like to listen to them, especially Danny Carey on the drums.
Welcome to the Great Hipster Bar of the Internet, where every [real tool] who has never played in a band has an opinion to offer. No wonder this channel has only 1.5k subs. Go play music, you real tools. Go learn to sing full scales, go learn to drum like Danny, go learn to write lyrics that hook people for decades.
That's all they have to offer an LOL, in this perticular pod cast (it's the only pod cast I have listened from YFBS, and not even 10 min of it) these guys become exactly what they are criticizing by thinking they are smarter than Tool fans because they listen to Mashuggah, lol it's such an oxymoron. They make very false statements like more albums means the band is better, the more complex the better the quality ect. These are pompous hypocritical fan boys that are mad their favorite bands don't have an army like Tool, they make it so obvious from the very beginning. My favorite band of all time has to be Pink Floyd, but I guess based on these fools logic they suck as well because they are not complex enough. Mashuggah really? It's been over a year since this was posted, it has a little over 3k views, 95 likes and 83 dislikes and only 80 comments mostly from people that don't know about music. Mashuggah really? I recommend Herbie Hancock's Chameleon followed by Abbasando by Avion Travel, a little Orange Blossom Ya Sidi, chase it with some death metal opera like Epica's Phantom's Agony, some Peach, Kehmmis' Bereaved and top it off with Vivaldi's 4 Seasons The Winter. Just flexed for you fools, Mashuggah really? What a fucking joke.
My theory is that Maynard is just some kind of weird genius at making really simple things seem way deeper than they are. These guys are talking about how tool's logo, and their career as a whole, is deeper than it actually is, while talking about how tool sucks. They're literally doing the same thing tool fans do while talking about tool fans.
I’m a tool fan for purely the music. The fans are indeed some of the shittiest people. I don’t think I’m smarter than anyone for liking tool. If everyone thought that no one would give the fan base a second thought
Do some research before you make an opinion. "Did tool fans hear of Meshuggah " lmfaoooo most tool fans listen to very few bands and meshugfah is one of them..meshuggah themselves played with tool and respect them for what they contributed to metal. Every album gradually evolved lyrically and it clearly shows you guys haven't spent time on their work. You guys jumped on a bandwagon with hollow opinions
Tool fans definitely pretentious and I might be one of them but these guys are odd because they’re also acting pretentious. Meshuggah and Dillinger Escape Plan are ok but nowhere as memorable for me. But to each their own.
They just shit on every band in their podcast so that they get views .they are the real tool heads with nothing to contribute but negativity.i would love to see them write a song lol
@@Raaxshas they didn’t even have much substance to their argument. At the end of the day, music is pretty subjective so it’s hard to explain the emotions I feel when I listen to my favorite musicians. But I watched a few of their other videos and it just sounds like this is these guys’d schtick. Good for them. It got me to watch so it did the job I guess.
Fuck you got me good haha. I wanted to say so much to you guys that I kept feeding into the points that you kept making so I'm just going to say I f**** really love what you guys said made me laugh so hard . Speechless 😂
My favorite thing about tool is the music is profound but also a bunch of nonsense bullshit and half the music is just making fun of the audience. It’s great. Im definitely a shitty tool fan.
The fans in their acid afterglow exaggerate their excitement, but it’s all about how technical, but how simple it is simultaneously. Technical music is usually hard to groove to. But Tool makes it work. The lyrics are sometimes deep, sometimes joking. It’s the balance of the whole thing. Most of all, music is hardly ever self reflecting lyrically. The lyrics literally lead people to be better people. That’s why people love it. That being said, the riffs are sometimes way too simple, the last two albums fucking sucked badly, and they are struggling at being what they used to be because good art comes from life struggles, which they probably no longer have for the most part. The music is not hard to play by yourself, but as a band that covered their most complex songs, it’s putting the instruments together that is the most technical. The relationship between the instruments, mathematically, is absolutely insane. Its hard to explain, but when they do those things, most of the time they are supplementing the concept of the whole song, and the thought behind it is admirable, whether or not being necessary
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Tool. The lyrics are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of Alchemical symbolism most of the lyrics will go over a typical listener’s head. There's also Danny Carey’s Enochian magic, which is deftly woven into his drumming - his personal philosophy draws heavily on Gnostic and Hermetic literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of this music, to realize that they're not just melodic- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Tool truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the symbolism in “ Maynard’s Dick” which itself is a cryptic reference to 6 inches. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Tool’s genius unfolds itself in their ears. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Fibonacci tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
I like Adam Jones chunky funky riffs him and morello were buds so they have tendencies like each other I listened to prison sex like 18 times in a row once but I don't mistake running length for technicality or eclecticism and I have never claimed that a spiral saved my life.
Wait you guys hated on queen for never sounding the same but tool sounds the same and you still don't like it. I'm a big tool fan but I don't look down on people that don't like them. Just as I don't hate on people that don't like an ipa.
So far, this is more shitting on Tool fans rather than the band itself, which I agree. A bit over 8 minutes in. And yeah, telling anyone you actually like some Tool songs, is probably not socially acceptable.
I love that you mention meshuggah. A band that opened for tool for their lateralus tour and who have called tool the best band in the world. Tool is the reason I listen to meshuggah. Guess you dont know tool fans as well as you think.
I got talked into buying lateralus once (when it was released). I was very bored listening to it. It sounded like it was just trying hard to be serious and complex, but felt very empty of any soul. I gave the album away the following week.
The only reason I didn’t like Tool was because they refused to release their albums in digital format for the longest time. But they finally joined the rest of us in the digital age and realized nobody buys Compact Disc at Best Buy anymore. I haven’t owned a CD player in years. I completely understand Maynard hating his band because he despises his fans. The fans end up attributing a level of hero worship to him and the band that he’s not comfortable with when he just wanted to make music. And yes, those people are stoned out of their minds on drugs. The fans thinks it’s deep when Maynard never did. And he hates it. The difference between Tool and the Grateful Dead is that the Dead and their fans believe their bullshit while Maynard despises the fans for believing bullshit that he knows is bullshit. I like Tool. I rarely tell people I do. I certainly don’t go on at length about how it changed my life or something. It’s good music. That’s about it. What else do you really want me to say? Some Tool fans talk like if you listen to the band, all the secrets of the universe will suddenly be revealed. That won’t happen. If Maynard let them, Tool fans would turn him into a cult leader and that’s something he doesn’t want. He tries to be sarcastic, satirical, and even rude to the fans at concerts to let them know in roundabout ways he doesn’t take them or the band that seriously and his words fall on deaf ears. It must really suck for him. A man has to make a living some how. Unfortunately, he keeps having to do Tool because none of his side projects are as successful or have lasted as long as Tool has. Imagine the hell of keeping on having to do the thing you hate just to stay wealthy. No wonder it takes so long for them to make records. To his and Tool’s credit, they do a relatively good job each time and give the fans what they want. They are consistent and the formula hasn’t changed.
That’s a great way to go about life “because I hate something that other people love their all idiots” just a bunch ego filled drivel 🤡 thats acting more hostile then a rabid tool fan, just sayin
My friend who really loves Tool took me to see them a few years ago. I knew maybe a few songs from the first album, and had background heard a few other albums over my life. I left the show midway through and waited for my friend in a shitty dive-bar full of homeless people and it was better than the Tool show. The light show was not as awesome as it was made out to be, go see Roger Waters.
@Your Favorite Band Sucks What genre of music would you consider Tool? Not saying you guys are wrong about them not being prog, I’ve heard them callled a few different things, but 9/10 times they get labeled progressive Metal//Rock. Even a quick glance of Wikipedia has progressive metal as the top listed genre.
Genesis for juggalos.

No not bcuz they don't like Tool or made fun of them. But bcuz they're hypocritical immature morons oh n boring.
@@KosMik_Skul your whining is even longer and more poorly written than a tool song
@@randyshottonight35 whatever not as much as the podcast sucks n it's fans.
1) Ive never liked Tool arrogantly or mocked people who dont.
2) Every song sounds similiar because they have their own distinct sound, many bands try to do that and fail. Is this a criticism?
3) The music isn't complex enough? Damn near every top 40 track of the last 50 years is a few chords, it appears nothing short of Beethoven would satisfy and I'm sure you would call the fans elitist.
4) You generalize that every tool fan is a preacher with a tool shirt. If you've ever been to one of their concerts you would see that half the crowd is white collars that you would never peg for a Tool fan.
5) Your main criticism is the sanctimonious attitude of "tool fans" (already shown to be a baseless strawman) and the whole rant is an ad hominem attack claiming your own superior taste in music.
6) Its not shakespeare or Robert Frost, there is no mysteries of the universe being unraveled but it provides people with a sombre backdrop to contemplate their existence. Your comment about not wanting to hear about Maynards struggle to find god as annoying is the dumbest thing I've ever heard, so what they hell can anyone sing about that is worthy enough of your attention? Hookers and blow?
The fact that Maynard criticizes himself and had one song where he critiques fans that call him a sell out is testament to their perfectionism. I'm not saying their perfect nor care to convince you but unless this was a really well acted troll you guys have no idea what you're talking about.
Three minute songs about hookers and blow are the best.
The only thing that sucks more than Tool fans is Tool.
Whenever I see someone mention tool, or anything related to them internally I die a little and cringe
@Jeremy Harris because looking at Tool based on how others talk about it is the standard for what to think about this band, nevermind actually listening and coming up with your own reasons.
@Levels Of Rage God forbid people have passion about music.
Perfect Circle has 1 good song. 1 and we all know what song Im talking about. And on that note why would I want to listen to another band with the same singer, because it just sounds like the other band they're in?
Tool: the official soundtrack of being so pretentious that you won’t allow your music to stream on anything other than UA-cam for the sole reason of not wanting to be mainstream
Edit: I learned Schism on bass, and the hardest part really is trying to remember if you’re about to go into a chorus or if you’re about to hit the middle of the song.
You must be a special kind of idiot. They are streaming on spotify you moron.
matchboxcody you’re a fucking idiot
Everyone has their own taste, but if you're an average rock listener like the guy in the reddit post then of course tool will sound like the most mindblowing thing and to an extent they have some interesting music, but if you really dive into other music then you'd realize their is MUCH more "complex" or "smart" music out there that makes tool seem smaller than people think.
Can I know what those other musicians are? Idrc about this whole ranking of people like “oh my god tool is the best thing ever” but I do really enjoy there music and think it’s very unique. So I’d be curious to know what bands make you think their music isn’t all that crazy.
@@jordanbodkin3517tool is definitely progressive and unique. its not a hierarchy or anything, I enjoy some tool myself but its annoying when close minded people hear them and think it's superior to all other music. there's just a huge variety of things out there is what I'm saying, when it come to tool, they're a good psychedelic progressive grunge band IMO. They don't really branch out of their formulas so the cool aspects of them get worn out for me. When I hear classical music or AFX or close to the edge by yes it can sound more "complex" to me than tool. But it doesn't mean anything. Its not a hierarchy like I said.
Yet you couldn’t be bothered to give any examples.
@@jordanbodkin3517 Dillinger Escape Plan, Tesseract, Meshuggah, Car Bomb, Between the Buried & Me, Animals As Leaders, The Dear Hunter (not metal, but one of todays best prog rock bands), Thank You Scientist. All of these bands are musically crazier than Tool.
Tool's use of "odd" time signatures is honestly incredibly basic compared to anything Dillinger, Meshuggah, Tesseract, BTBAM or Car Bomb does. It's laughable.
@@flagmuffin1221those are some of the most well known artists in the underground scene and some of the least interesting I'll give you some real obscure innovative progressive music, Kayo Dot, maudlin of the Well, Pan of Salvation, Tiamat, Katatonia, Fantomas
Being a Tool fan myself: Thanks a lot for this, it´s hilarious:-)
I have my own podcast and we just did an episode about Tool, including a bit where the episode's co-host calls Tool fans the Kanye fans of metal. For most of the episodes, which are uploaded to UA-cam, we're lucky if we get 50 views. In the five days since we uploaded our Tool episode, it has gotten over 1800 views. And after reading some of the comments there, hearing you tear the Tool fans a new one provided some nice catharsis. So thank you.
I cant lie, I love Tool...
That said... my god you two are 100% right 😅
Why King Crimson? Why demean yourselves by touring with Tool?
I love Tool but am having trouble finding arguments to rebuttal their points...
"So if someone comes along and doesnt like something you like and that's a dealbreaker for you, you're a peice of shit" lol I like em
Right? Like no irony in that what so ever lol
People who constantly complain about Tool fans are just as bad as Tool fans.
I'm actually going to get a Tool shirt specifically due to this podcast.
You should also go around your city wearing a puscifer shirt as well because you just might be the definition of one. 😂
I’m a little older now. Tool actually is my favorite band. This is really good. I was kinda that dude they talk about, listening to this is like listening to your own voice recorded. “Every tool fan thinks they’re not one of the bad ones”
I liked Tools first ep. Opiate. shorter songs. Had it on tape. Got me away from listening to hair bands like poison .I'm back to hair bands now. much happier. Good broadcast.
I bet hair metal bands made you gay again.
@@jeffstuart4424 To be fair hair metal bands have a lot more talent. Most of those bands have guitarists who can actually play solos. Some of those bands have singers who can actually sing. Most of those bands understand how to construct a song. Tool doesn't have any of those htings. Instead they just sing about anally fisting someone. Yeah real special.
@@jondoe-nc9qo your right! You listen to any 80s song and its got great guitar solos. Lot of people judge them for being glam metal but if you actually listen they could play. Far better then nirvana. Nirvana has 5 songs I like so I'm not hating on them but honestly they were way overrated. They weren't great musicians. They just came up with something different when everyone was burned out on hair metal. To me Alice in chains was far better. But back to 80s of the greatest guitarist list I'm pretty positive most come from the 80s.
@@jeffstuart4424 I'll be honest. I've mostly been indifferent to the band, liked a few songs until I understood their meanings. It was largely the new album. A bunch of 10 minute songs that don't change for at least the first 6 minutes of each song, couldn't give each song more than that and I like long songs. That was when I really stopped and realized what they really are. The only conclusion I could come up with especially with the new album is it must be music made for people who are high, and that's fine for those people. I don't hate anyone for liking them, their choice, but I can't call them talented when their music doesn't show it. Helll the break in the previously mentioned song I don't know what they're doing but it sounds like the guy is raping his guitar and everyone back in the day loved it.
@@jondoe-nc9qo couldn't agree more. I grew up listening to rush, black Sabbath, van Halen, dream theatre, 80s metallica, and so many more talented band's. Rush made a few 10 minute songs and there was so much going on that the song didn't seem 10 minutes. Not a huge rush fan but I understand why people are because they are so talented. This new tool song feels like an eternity. Sounds pretty similar to the last album they made as well. When people say tool is talented I pretty much laugh! Other then Cary they're pretty average. So many more talented band's people are completely missing. It would take me the length of the new tool song to list all of them lol. Not cause I need to think but cause its so many
I seriously thought I was the only one who hates Tool and A Perfect Circle ⭕️ Anything Maynard touches sounds like shit, the same song over and over again.
low and slow...take a big long shit...over and over and over again...the heroin experience
actually sounds like you describing most death and black metal
+Joseph Santiago Crazy part is Manyard never seems to change his vocal sound and tone all these years. Every band and song he sings/been in sounds the same.
This is like a pretentious argument against a pretentious fanbase. tbh I just find it entertaining.
Tool blows
You're goddamn right.
I think their band name is Tool because their music sucks a big tool!
Lmao, I'm just not interested in hearing someone struggle with God 😂😂😂
I really like Lateralus and 10 000 days and I have to say that Danny Carey is one hell of a drummer.
The thing I really dislike are the idiot fans of the band
I love this podcast so much
Tool is great if you like slow, dull shit music that would bore my fucking grandma to tears.
Nice name
It really is like watching paint dry. But, like Rick and Morty, you need a 3000 IQ to truly appreciate it
@@vibratoryuniverse308 What? I bet you don't get 10% of the references in Rick and Morty.
Thank you very much. I laughed so hard at this - so much of this is true and describes 80% of the Tool fans I have encountered. I am one who loves quite a bit of complex music (prog metal, some prog rock, shred, technical death metal, technical thrash metal, some jazz fusion, some classical, for example, in addition to many types of 'non-complex' music), but Tool have always bored me.
@Eric Byrd Indeed they are...I tried to appreciate them from multiple angles and at different times in my life, and each time I came to the same conclusion - Tool's music is nothing special. It is boring, repetitive pabulum masquerading as something "complex" or "proggy." The so-called "intelligent" lyrics could have been written by an angsty, pretentious teenager.
Oooh he likes "complex music" define complex music for me please. Lol what a fucking tool.
@@jdthornton78 taste and beauty are subjective. Of course your opinion is the most attractive to you that's why it's your opinion and not mine, is this "too complex" to understand? What a bunch of tools.

I couldn’t hit a line of coke to make that exciting...
Radiohead and Tool are so slow, dull and boring. You'd have to be on heroin to think it was exciting.
So does Bach Cello Suite #1 suck together with Yoyo Ma? The real tools are the people who don't understand how subjective music taste is. As I read and listened to, not even 10 min of the podcast I realize how general and vague the criticism is.

They really are a boring band musically. And live too.
Another good thing about Deftones is that they never stayed with the same styles they always tried sum new. They make good music and it's just as spacey and weird like tool but they don't front intelligence
Agreed about when he talks about "God"...I cannot stand his "spirituality" shit...
I like tools music. But they’re just one of many bands I like. Video was funny and is exactly why I don’t buy tool merch. The super fans are cringeeee
Roast the fuck outta Bad Religion. PLEASE.
I love tool but I honestly agree based off their last album that Maynard's over the whole band
Tool sucks, but so does Dillinger Escape Plan.
Alienated myself back in 2001 when Lateralus came out, i thought they were It, but then i discovered other bands through the years, greater bands than tool, and since 10k, which was kind of a failure, like leftovers from their previous album, and since those years until now, been let down by the band, actin like douchebags primadonnas, treatin their audience disrespectful, thing is that i believe they are totally overrated,maybe they are good, but for me they are just not that great anymore, guess i got smart imo lol
Just spent the last 3 weeks going through all your videos. It slowly dawned on me that you guys are naming off all of the bands my brother used to force me to listen to. I thought I didn't like Tool because my brother sucked, but it turns out the bands also sucks; in addition to him sucking.
You should go to a papa roach concert then.
Lol
I don't consider myself a "Tool fan", but I like some of the music. This may surprise you, but there are some of us who don't buy into all the mystical bullshit and just like to listen to them, especially Danny Carey on the drums.
I agree the songs I've heard from Tool all the instrumentals sound the same and Manyard never ever seems to sing in a different tone at all.
Joshua Fult - or maybe that’s just how he prefers to sing. Check out a perfect circles new album, Maynard definitely went different paths in that one
@@blankearth5840 Yup Manyard is a great singer I just mean as far as in the Tool songs he tends to not change his vocal style
Massive TOOL fan here but this is funny
Welcome to the Great Hipster Bar of the Internet, where every [real tool] who has never played in a band has an opinion to offer. No wonder this channel has only 1.5k subs. Go play music, you real tools. Go learn to sing full scales, go learn to drum like Danny, go learn to write lyrics that hook people for decades.
LoL
That's all they have to offer an LOL, in this perticular pod cast (it's the only pod cast I have listened from YFBS, and not even 10 min of it) these guys become exactly what they are criticizing by thinking they are smarter than Tool fans because they listen to Mashuggah, lol it's such an oxymoron. They make very false statements like more albums means the band is better, the more complex the better the quality ect. These are pompous hypocritical fan boys that are mad their favorite bands don't have an army like Tool, they make it so obvious from the very beginning. My favorite band of all time has to be Pink Floyd, but I guess based on these fools logic they suck as well because they are not complex enough. Mashuggah really? It's been over a year since this was posted, it has a little over 3k views, 95 likes and 83 dislikes and only 80 comments mostly from people that don't know about music. Mashuggah really? I recommend Herbie Hancock's Chameleon followed by Abbasando by Avion Travel, a little Orange Blossom Ya Sidi, chase it with some death metal opera like Epica's Phantom's Agony, some Peach, Kehmmis' Bereaved and top it off with Vivaldi's 4 Seasons The Winter. Just flexed for you fools, Mashuggah really? What a fucking joke.
@@RoninMike-DR these guys are entertaining...but yeah, very lacking in the way of musical credibility. or contrarian for the sake of being so.
Lmao I even hate Tool and I've worked with Alex Grey and Tool projects over the years. You guys are embarrassing if you're being serious. LOL
@@悪臭-p9p worked with? I'm not buying that
My theory is that Maynard is just some kind of weird genius at making really simple things seem way deeper than they are. These guys are talking about how tool's logo, and their career as a whole, is deeper than it actually is, while talking about how tool sucks. They're literally doing the same thing tool fans do while talking about tool fans.
The new tool album was horrible
i know for a fact tyler didn't always hate tool and it's clear from listening to this that they don't really, it's mostly their fans
I’m a tool fan for purely the music. The fans are indeed some of the shittiest people. I don’t think I’m smarter than anyone for liking tool. If everyone thought that no one would give the fan base a second thought
lol Rosetta Stoned is awesome.
"God damn
Shit the bed!"
Do some research before you make an opinion. "Did tool fans hear of Meshuggah " lmfaoooo most tool fans listen to very few bands and meshugfah is one of them..meshuggah themselves played with tool and respect them for what they contributed to metal. Every album gradually evolved lyrically and it clearly shows you guys haven't spent time on their work. You guys jumped on a bandwagon with hollow opinions
Tool fans definitely pretentious and I might be one of them but these guys are odd because they’re also acting pretentious. Meshuggah and Dillinger Escape Plan are ok but nowhere as memorable for me. But to each their own.
They just shit on every band in their podcast so that they get views .they are the real tool heads with nothing to contribute but negativity.i would love to see them write a song lol
@@Raaxshas they didn’t even have much substance to their argument. At the end of the day, music is pretty subjective so it’s hard to explain the emotions I feel when I listen to my favorite musicians. But I watched a few of their other videos and it just sounds like this is these guys’d schtick. Good for them. It got me to watch so it did the job I guess.
Closeted tool fan here. I agree with this 100 percent. (Maybe not closeted but I don’t shit on other ppl that hate what I like)
Just subscribed yesterday. Plenty of work listening material now. I've been looking for a good music podcast for a while. You guys are hilarious.
I heard one record in the 90s. Boring.
Damn dudes. Thanks for the free therapy session!
Fuck you got me good haha. I wanted to say so much to you guys that I kept feeding into the points that you kept making so I'm just going to say I f**** really love what you guys said made me laugh so hard . Speechless 😂
Tool sucks? I hear no lies
My favorite thing about tool is the music is profound but also a bunch of nonsense bullshit and half the music is just making fun of the audience. It’s great. Im definitely a shitty tool fan.
The fans in their acid afterglow exaggerate their excitement, but it’s all about how technical, but how simple it is simultaneously. Technical music is usually hard to groove to. But Tool makes it work. The lyrics are sometimes deep, sometimes joking. It’s the balance of the whole thing. Most of all, music is hardly ever self reflecting lyrically. The lyrics literally lead people to be better people. That’s why people love it. That being said, the riffs are sometimes way too simple, the last two albums fucking sucked badly, and they are struggling at being what they used to be because good art comes from life struggles, which they probably no longer have for the most part. The music is not hard to play by yourself, but as a band that covered their most complex songs, it’s putting the instruments together that is the most technical. The relationship between the instruments, mathematically, is absolutely insane. Its hard to explain, but when they do those things, most of the time they are supplementing the concept of the whole song, and the thought behind it is admirable, whether or not being necessary
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Tool. The lyrics are extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of Alchemical symbolism most of the lyrics will go over a typical listener’s head. There's also Danny Carey’s Enochian magic, which is deftly woven into his drumming - his personal philosophy draws heavily on Gnostic and Hermetic literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of this music, to realize that they're not just melodic- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Tool truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the symbolism in “ Maynard’s Dick” which itself is a cryptic reference to 6 inches. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Tool’s genius unfolds itself in their ears. What fools... how I pity them. 😂 And yes by the way, I DO have a Fibonacci tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It's for the ladies' eyes only- And even they have to demonstrate that they're within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand.
You should do a podcast about what's probably the only band more overrated that this turd: Meshuggah. What a vocalist, huh!
Early Meshuggah, up to I (2004) Jens was good. Even on obzen, but on the last 3 albums he's gone downhill. As has the band.
I like Adam Jones chunky funky riffs him and morello were buds so they have tendencies like each other I listened to prison sex like 18 times in a row once but I don't mistake running length for technicality or eclecticism and I have never claimed that a spiral saved my life.
This is fucking hilarious
Me listening to this while wearing Tool shirt
lol me about to get in my car with a Tool sticker on it
Because you're awesome and so is Tool!
It’s healthy to roast your own favorite band and fan base and practice humility. It’s what Maynard would want you to do
Wait you guys hated on queen for never sounding the same but tool sounds the same and you still don't like it. I'm a big tool fan but I don't look down on people that don't like them. Just as I don't hate on people that don't like an ipa.
People hate tool fans because they are so defensive for no reason.
Along with Radiohead, Tool always struck me as a band you *put on* to feel smarter than someone else rather than *listen to* because you enjoy them.
Agree. But Radiohead has some really good songs though. If they were from Britney Spears I would have liked them as well
Nah, they both have some really good songs. More so Radiohead than Tool.
I put them on to feel some sort of emotion rather than silence tbh
Add sonic youth to this list
I work at a School of Rock and can confirm, these kids love Tool. And Rush.
So far, this is more shitting on Tool fans rather than the band itself, which I agree. A bit over 8 minutes in. And yeah, telling anyone you actually like some Tool songs, is probably not socially acceptable.
I love that you mention meshuggah. A band that opened for tool for their lateralus tour and who have called tool the best band in the world. Tool is the reason I listen to meshuggah. Guess you dont know tool fans as well as you think.

Feels like you went into that Reddit post with a definite idea of what you were hoping to find
I like tool however there's a lot of truth to what you guys are saying. The drummer is like, "Look how great I am I play Polly rhythms!!!!
He never says that
Isn't this guys dad the guy that wrote all those racist country songs?
Yes
🤣 I literally just watched a video with these guys and one of them had on a Tool shirt.
Tool: How to Start a Cult 101
"Does it work?"
"Have you SEEN their fanbase?"
"Touché"
The only reason I didn’t like Tool was because they refused to release their albums in digital format for the longest time. But they finally joined the rest of us in the digital age and realized nobody buys Compact Disc at Best Buy anymore. I haven’t owned a CD player in years.
I completely understand Maynard hating his band because he despises his fans. The fans end up attributing a level of hero worship to him and the band that he’s not comfortable with when he just wanted to make music. And yes, those people are stoned out of their minds on drugs. The fans thinks it’s deep when Maynard never did. And he hates it.
The difference between Tool and the Grateful Dead is that the Dead and their fans believe their bullshit while Maynard despises the fans for believing bullshit that he knows is bullshit.
I like Tool. I rarely tell people I do. I certainly don’t go on at length about how it changed my life or something. It’s good music. That’s about it. What else do you really want me to say? Some Tool fans talk like if you listen to the band, all the secrets of the universe will suddenly be revealed. That won’t happen.
If Maynard let them, Tool fans would turn him into a cult leader and that’s something he doesn’t want. He tries to be sarcastic, satirical, and even rude to the fans at concerts to let them know in roundabout ways he doesn’t take them or the band that seriously and his words fall on deaf ears.
It must really suck for him. A man has to make a living some how. Unfortunately, he keeps having to do Tool because none of his side projects are as successful or have lasted as long as Tool has. Imagine the hell of keeping on having to do the thing you hate just to stay wealthy. No wonder it takes so long for them to make records. To his and Tool’s credit, they do a relatively good job each time and give the fans what they want. They are consistent and the formula hasn’t changed.
That's hilarious, 10,000 days is just lateralis b sides, but they're idiot fans think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread.
That’s a great way to go about life “because I hate something that other people love their all idiots” just a bunch ego filled drivel 🤡 thats acting more hostile then a rabid tool fan, just sayin
My friend who really loves Tool took me to see them a few years ago. I knew maybe a few songs from the first album, and had background heard a few other albums over my life. I left the show midway through and waited for my friend in a shitty dive-bar full of homeless people and it was better than the Tool show. The light show was not as awesome as it was made out to be, go see Roger Waters.
