BRR, what kind of takedown is that?

maybard was trained by the gracie family BTW.

Notice how he doesn't miss a beat and the dude on the ground looks like he is enjoying it.

every band has "fans" like you... luckily for you, you can put undertow on repeat in your CD player and live out your thrilling life with the same songs over and over.

Tool is hands down the leader in progressive rock. I'd say they kick the ass of any other modern day alternative and metal band as well.

Their time signatures, musicianship, complex melodies, layered song, and unmatched vocals keep them at the top of the rock music game.

pretty funny how he kept on singing with the guy in a headlock

Sad thing is I was probably listening to Tool when you still shit your pants so don't even go there. Some bands get better as time goes on, such as Nightwish. Tool is just not one of these bands IMO. I'm not one of those elitist freaks that can't see beyond full length debuts.

You want to discuss metal we'll discuss metal. You want to discuss rock we'll discuss Tool. To say they kick the ass out of any modern day metal band is just foolish IMO.

It was a hip toss, followed up with a rear naked choke. He rolled onto his back, and locked the legs while continuing to choke. Basic shit, but executed nicely.

 

[WODIN]

He got cowboyed. LOL!!!


Maynard must have wrestled at one point in his life.

 

[Rex]

Didn't one of the guys in Tool just quit because he found Jesus?

I started listening to Tool beginning in 1993 with Undertow... Fall of 1993.. heard it on the way home from pratice and was hooked.

I've seen them 15 times in 5 different states.

That was Brian "Head" Welcome from KoRn.

"KoRn gave head to Jesus."

great headline

Oh. Thought I heard recently that someone from Tool did. Who knows anymore though. People find and lose Jesus everyday.

 

[Gambino]

did anybody here wrestle??? if you did, you know how easy it is to counter a head throw...i could counter that with ease

The hip toss you mean? I hate those things because so much can go wrong in attempting it. The rear naked choke I am a fan of though. The arm bar from the gaurd and the mount I like also.

there was an april fools day joke about maynard finding jesus... all just a joke though.

hip toss, head throw same thing...all you got to do is get behind the dude attempting it and boom, instant takedown...a fish move at best

Got ya. Thanks for clearing that up. B/c if he did find Jesus, then the pieces that fit in Schism just wouldn't fit like he thought.

it will never happen.

I have heard some shitty sound quality before but good lord.

I still don't see the obsession with Tool by so many people. Expand your horizons. I mean sure, they aren't that bad, they have some quality stuff, but I don't see the obsession.

 

[slickdadd]

by the way, cool video.

its a bootleg video, you can't blame the sound quality on the band.

And the obsession with Tool comes from this. What do you see flooding the market today? Some decent singles, but bands that are groomed from day 1 to be served up like fast food, instant gratification. Musicians are supposed to be artists. Are the Backstreet boys artists??? these people are hand picked and groomed to fill a certain spot in the market, a demographic, music quality is far down on the list. When you see a band that actually treats what they do as art, its refreshing.

 

[slickdadd]

Yeah I know it's a bootleg, but even for a bootleg that is piss poor.

And don't ask me about bands on the "market." That is an oxymoron. As yuppie as it sounds, most good bands aren't on your markets and mainstream radio stations. If you want to talk good bands that have mainstream success, then yeah, I totally agree Tool is one of the better ones. If you want to talk bands that are truly good, regardless of mainstream success, then I wouldn't go so far. To be successful to the masses, you typically have to dumb it down enough for everyone to digest it upon one or two listens. I wouldn't group Tool into that category by any means, they are from from it, but when comparing them to bands of that ilk they are clearly going to be superior. There are plenty of bands out there that do it for the sake of the art, and do it very well.

Again, I think Tool is a good band, I really liked Undertow and Aenima, but I wasn't enamored by them.
