Tool For possible greatest band of all time.

[Indifferent Clox]

Wow.

[Mr Regal]

Wouldn't go that far, but Tool are pretty amazing.

[Kane Knight]

:?:

[Silent]

Who's deciding it? I disagree, by the way. :o

[Bad Company]

Kane Knight is still holding out for a Maroon 5 comeback.

[Impact!]

How about no?

[Vastardikai]

Tool is perhaps the best band influenced by the Melvins, along with At the Drive In and Mars Volta (both of which have Bixler-Zavala and Rodriguez-Lopez)

Rush and Clutch are up there, and even then, they have the same issue: A singer whose voice takes some getting used to.

I have to go with Sabbath as best band ever, preferably fronted by Dio.

[Rammsteinmad]

The answer is Dream Theater.

[Skippord]

Tool is pretty immense

[ron the dial]

Pink Floyd is better than any band mentioned in this thread.

[Kane Knight]

Kane Knight is still holding out for a Maroon 5 comeback.

Which is about as likely as you coming up with a smart or funny comeback.

[Kane Knight]

Pink Floyd is better than any band mentioned in this thread.

I dunno about PF being better than DT, but they're up there as one of the greats.

Still, I'm wondering about the context of this thread. :?:

[toxic rooster]

There's nothing about it on Google News :?:

[Zen v.W.o.]

Dream Theater is like having sex for a really long time without being able to blow your load. They're mostly alot of meandering shit, doing whatever they can to prolong their songs way past it's point of relevancy.

Tool is good stuff though, but not the best.

[Indifferent Clox]

I like bright eyes.

[Requiem]

Tool is amazing. Danny Carey is one of the greatest drummers to ever live.

[Jordan]

Uhhhh.... no. Not only do I not like Tool but I just don't think they are any good.
I can not like band but respect their music, but that music is horrible.

[Requiem]

Tool is progressive, and not for everyone. But you're an idiot if you don't think they are talented at all. I won't go as far as saying everyone in the band is the best ever at what they do, but I will stand by my words that Danny Carey is freaking amazing. And the rest are still very talented.

[Jordan]

Agreed. I just don't see how that noise is pleasant. They have good songs that I like a bit, but they are the mainstream songs.

[Requiem]

What Tool have you actually listened to? There is a LOT of Tool. And what kind of music do you listen to then, if you think theirs is crap?

[Kane Knight]

Dream Theater's more like "Not blowing your load prematurely for the sake of a hit single."

It's marathon sex, instead of your awkward first time in the back of mommy's car.

I'm assuming since he doesn't like "Noise" he's talking about the industrial and disonant devices, at which point, he probably won't like any Tool, no matter what.

[Zen v.W.o.]

His best bet are to have a listen to "Undertow" and also "Opiate". Would be more accessible.

[Impact!]

Obviously Slayer is the greatest band of all time...or maybe Pantera

[Skippord]

Motorhead

[Vastardikai]

Boston!

"More Than a Feeling" Is the world's greatest song! [/Carl]

:shifty:

I can't tell if this is a good thing or a bad thing? You like Dream Theater?

[Downunder]

Wouldn't go that far, but Tool are pretty amazing.

[Mercury Bullet]

I like Tool, but certainly not the best band ever.

I dunno if Dream Theater is either but I would pick DT over Tool.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

While Dream Theater are probably the most superior band when it comes to musicianship, it is their weakness lyrically which stops them from being the best band ever.

[Just John]

I've listened to a few of their songs plus the whole of the Laterus CD (or whatever its called) it didn't really do much for me personally. I wouldn't say they aren't talented though.

[Mercury Bullet]

Yeh that sums it up pretty much. :y:

[toxic rooster]

Did we ever find that whole 'context' thing this thread seems to be sorely lacking?

[Kane Knight]

I can't tell if this is a good thing or a bad thing? You like Dream Theater?

Marathon sex>Blowing it in 30 seconds. :D

Gooner, "sez who" is the context sorely lacking.

[Stickman]

I seem to recal a British band in the 60's that pretty much IS the greatest band of all time.

[weather vane]

Motley Crue

[Heyman]

Limp Bizkit

only kidding

[Stickman]

Papa Roach

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Skips' got the right idea.

[El Vaquero de Infierno]

Oh, and for sheer weirdness and creativity the following two bands could probably fight for the title:

Mr Bungle
Sleepytime Gorilla Museum

Yep yep.

[Russenmafia]

never heard of this band tool :?:

[The Lone Wolf]

they are amazing to listen to but they are by far not the greatest band of all time.

[FakeLaser]

Crash Test Dummies

[Fignuts]

Bands that in my eyes, can make a bid for greatest of all time

Zepplin
Floyd
Neil Young
Bob Marley and the Wailers
Radiohead
The Who
Muddy Waters

[The Mask]

that and being wanky twaddle for people who view music as sport and abstract art as one

[ron the dial]

Pink Floyd is better than any band mentioned in this thread.
I'll stand by this, but add that Led Zeppelin and Radiohead are on equal ground and I really couldn't make a choice as to which one is the best.

[Zen v.W.o.]

Radiohead is music to put you into a stupor to. What boring, overrated drivel.
Hey Thom, keep mumbling, you ugly fuck.

Led Zeppelin easily outweighs Radiohead, fuck, Radiohead arent even top 3 from their own era.

[Indifferent Clox]

Rivers Cuomo is pretty genuis.

I really don't think Tool is the greatest, but if they realease 10 other albums as good as aenima and lateralus they will be.

[Kane Knight]

Radiohead is music to put you into a stupor to. What boring, overrated drivel.

They probably aren't even the top three in their own zip code.

lol come on

[CSL]

Oooooh yeah

Fucking hate Radiohead

[Fignuts]

Honestly, there is no way to make a definitive list of greatest bands. Music is far too subjective. What Zen, KK, and CSL said about radiohead, someone else may say about Led Zepplin. YES, there are people who hate led zepplin. They exist. Fuck, there are people who think 50 cent is the greatest rapper ever. And there is, in all honesty, nothing wrong with that.

I've always said that there is no such thing as bad taste in music. Just a different taste in music. Aren't you supposed to listen to music you enjoy? You don't listen to music for other people's sake, so if YOU enjoy it, how can it be a bad taste in music. Only way that is possible is if you willingly listen to music you hate. Which I'm pretty sure no one does.

[Indifferent Clox]

I think bad taste in music is to listen to music with no artistic originality, when there are so many amazing bands out there with artistic talent.

That's just how I feel though.

I mean I listen to my share of bands that suck even in my opinion, in comparision to others (i.e. Simple Plan and Avril Lavigne stand nowhere near The Black Lips or The Sex Pistols, in punk but both those first bands are still very listenable at times)

too tired will continue this point later.

[Destor]

Beatles

[D Mac]

sig

[Maverick]

The Pot by Tool = Masterpiece

[.44 Magdalene]

I have to say, if I did have to pick a greatest band... for me, personally, Tool would be a definite contender. Tool, Metallica, or Pink Floyd.

[.44 Magdalene]

Really, you can narrow the field thanks to St. Anger. Nothing from Tool or Floyd took me quite as long to get used to.

[Indifferent Clox]

of course, I believe the Beatles are the greatest band of all time, their range is amazing, their creativity unmatched, everyone, everyone in rock is somehow influenced by those guys.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Incubus used to be a contender until they got political.

[WestNZ]

HECK NO

Judas Priest, Iron MAiden, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Megadeth, Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir and Anteaus are WAY better, if Tool win such an award, then the voting was RIGGED

[Zen v.W.o.]

lol, Cradle of Filth.

[Requiem]

lol, Metallica

Also Zen, shut up.

You worship the ground Cobain walks on as if he is Christ reincarnated. Thus, your negative opinions of true musical greatness such as Radiohead have no backing.

[Zen v.W.o.]

lol, Metallica

Radiohead kinda suck, man.


Liking Cobain or more specifically Nirvana, has nothing to do with much here.

Also, AT, I rarely find you to be way off base, but lol at Incubus.

[ron the dial]

lol Zen v.W.o.

[Indifferent Clox]

Radiohead is fucking amazing, and if you don't believe so, and believe *COUGH* Judas Priest, Iron MAiden, Black Sabbath, Metallica, Megadeth, Cradle of Filth, Dimmu Borgir and Anteaus *COUGH* is better, well besides maybe the bold ones, (because that is just taste) then you may have something wrong with you. I think they are better than all 3

lol, Metallica



:foc:

lol Radiohead

[ron the dial]

everyone lol everyone else lol

[Bad Company]

yeah lol

[el fregadero]

Tool is probably "better" than Dream Theater overall, but that really comes down to Dream Theater's singer being atrocious. He comes in and ruins all of their songs, whereas Maynard knows how to blend with the music perfectly. I don't listen to Tool very often anymore, but they are still a great band. I'd be willing to give them a greatest of the 90's award, but I don't know about going much farther with it.

As far as greatest band of all-time, the answer is simple: Sound Tribe Sector 9

[Requiem]

:foc:

lol Radiohead

lol Chiefs

[Indifferent Clox]

King Diamond?

I like King Crimson
