Tool For possible greatest band of all time.
 

Wow.

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

:?:

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

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

How about no?

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.

The answer is Dream Theater.

Tool is pretty immense

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

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

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. :?:

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

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.

I like bright eyes.

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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

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

Motorhead

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?

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

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

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.

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.

Yeh that sums it up pretty much. :y:

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

Marathon sex>Blowing it in 30 seconds. :D

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

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

Motley Crue

Limp Bizkit

only kidding

Papa Roach
