Maybe it's not your style, but if you can't acknowledge TOOL as something unique and innovative in a world of lackluster and homogenized crap, then you're fooling yourself. They have never followed any trends.  |
I agree to a point, but Tool is all about the money, Maynard is anyway. They are very anal about their music, as in extremely protective. Maynard doesn't give a fuck, he's laughing at everyone buying his music thinking its this amazing in-depth work of art. He wants the money. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but its funny watching people argue over it.
I went to a APC show a couple years back. Throughout the whole show he was pushing the upcoming album extremely hard and even made several references to how people will buy whatever he does and make him even more money. His songs are calling the listeners sheep, while the listeners are thinking he's calling everyone else sheep. Its really pretty funny.
