Ok, i was the tampa show for tool/melt.

1. TOOL is a great band with top notch musicians and lyrical greatness.(some ppl dont 'get' maynard's lyrics, they need ot do their research.)

1a. Danny Carrey is known as one of the best drummers ever. he has been a professional drummer his whole life, at one point playing for 3 bands.

1b. Adam Jones' guitar work is the root of the progressive metal today, combining different genres into one rockin' sound.

1c. Justin chancellor is a good bassist, hes not the greatest musician in the band, but has picked up where Paul Da'amoto (or whatever) left off.

1d. Maynard thinks his shit dont stink, he may be right, but bottomline, he is one of the best front man around, he doesnt over power the music and as perfect timing and melody with the music made.

And for someone to say TOOL hasnt done anything for rock, just look at any progressive band today's influences, and TOOL is listed.


2. Melt Banana is a very eccentric band, with unbelievable sounds, they ae true pioneers of the 'grindcore' genre. The guitar player has so many effects he uses, its hard to keep track. and its hard enough playing guitar super fast AND having to worry about which pedal to adjust.

2a. While at the concert(frontrow floor) i heard ppl boo and make racist comments toward Melt Banana which made me wonder why murder is illegal.

3. TOOL always likes to have openers that will make the crowd think "wtf are they doing opening for tool" this tour alone they had Isis, Melt Banana, Big Business, all three are very different sounding bands, but all are good at what they do.


you might not like TOOL, but do deny the musicianship shows that you have no idea what it takes to make good music.

Ignorance is not an excuse for not liking something.


with all that being said, the concert was kinda gay, 75% of the fans their obviously dont listen to the lyrics of TOOL other wise they would have respected the band more. To throw things on stage, to scream and shout so you cant even hear the band playing shows that you arent at the concert to see TOOL, you are there to tell ppl you saw tool.


TOOL is a better band than any of you will ever be able to create, so dont hate.

Yes, eulogy's bass part was actually written by Paul. Poi is a sticky food paste common in Hawaii. Very bitter, which is why I contrasted with the apple.

"Eulogy" (Keenan/Jones/Carey/D'Amour) – 8:25


yeah, your right, i get the songs justin did on Aenima confused.

regardless they are all great musicians.

and danny carey has been quoted saying they are a very selfish band, they dont make music for thier fans, they make it for themselves.
so they honestly could care less what ppl think... thats one reason why they have bands open for them that are completely out of their style.

Fuck I hate Tool. Melt Banana is a great band but they need to adopt some standards.

If you know who Sun Ra is you know that you should look to me for musical guidance. Tool is indeed a second rate second generation Zep sounding band whether yall wanna believe it or not. They've contributed nothing to the evolution of rock'n'roll. Those of you who are like 18-25 and all into Tool are well on the path to 2.2 kids and a house in Suburbia.
