Fuck it Tool is Toolcore.


Prog Rock is a genre.....

Not really. Have you ever dove substantially into Punk, Folk, and the many other kinds of Rock? It just seems so redundant with Metal because all of the subgenres have Metal at the end of their names.

Yes, and basically every band inside of it can be grouped into a subgenre or scene. I can't put Tool anywhere.

Well, if you don't listen to Metal, then you can easily come to that conclusion.

Actually, you're partially correct.

I don't listen to much of the Extreme metal I used to. Though I do know that Most of Tool's stuff is Progressive Metal. I'll give you Opiate and Undertow.

There's actually a lot of similarities between them.

That's true.

But there are also a few key differences.

You're missing out on a lot then. It's a good song, but nowhere near their best. Try the songs Fade To Black and Master Of Puppets - those are true thrash metal masterpieces.

I think I've heard ''Enter Sandman". I agree, that's an awesome song. (Yes, I know I'm responding to an almost 6 month old post.)

I still don't really listen to much metal, unless you count Black Veil Brides, and even with them I don't listen to more than 3 or so songs.

Metalcore. Me personally, I don't find much wrong with the repetiveness.


Though some of the lyrics annoy me.

Love the lines from Lateralus in your sig. It was actually Lacky's flag that inspired me to get back into Tool.

Black Veil Brides is to Heavy Metal as Avril Lavigne is to Punk. I mean, sure they've got the guitars and the looks but they've just got no soul.

Black metal is probably the best metal genre. Which makes it the best musical genre in general.

I disagree, I've never liked extreme metal.

This nation should not be taken to be representative of my real-life views, nor should any of the nonsense I posted on here as a teenager.

we, unlike the bourgeoisie, have nothing to lose and therefore our expression will be the only honest one, our words will be the only challenging ones and our art will be the one revolutionary expression. We need new noise and new voices and new canvases to become something more than the last poets of a useless generation.
