Cause they're Prog they sound like Tool? Come on now, Tool wasn't the first Prog band and they're not the last. Tool took alot of influence from the bands that came before them, who gives a fuck, they're all great.
Who gives a fuck if it sounds like tool. I AM A HUGE TOOL FAN. And I am happy as long as many bands brings out stuffs similar to tool. And Gonna watch these guys this december!! \m/
In my opinion, Tool is the best band. But when I heard Karni for the first time, I was thrilled! Really like them! Keep rockin` guys!!! U make me get chills!
@ImOutsideTheBox there are some parts that make no sense. Which makes it awesome. And Jesus people tool and karnivool sound nothing alike. I love both bands but I'm not comparing. And this isn't the only hard rock song on the album there's Goliath and simple boy. Dude the last minute of Goliath makes me jizz my pants
what is karnivool? what is tool? all i hear is this great music, who gives a #%ck under what name or category it was made. Stop arguing and comparing artists to each other. No-one compares Dali to Van Cogh even though they both were painters. Shut up and enjoy the art.
Tool is one of my all time favorite bands. Just discovered these guys, and there's no denying the resemblance. Still they are far from just a copy band and they write extremely good songs. Just enjoy the music as it is, there's nothing more to it really.
the music sounds nothing like tool. stop basing stuff on the lyrical content only. he doesnt sound like maynard, guitar is nothing in the style of jones, same for the drums and bass. why does everyone have to try and make comparisons?
yo Karnivool fans, check out our swedish sauna film clip! - Friendly Yen first single " The Colour" we worked with the Forrester Savell, the man responsible for the KArnivool albums!
without a doubt the strongest band to come out of Australia in a long time. Masterpiece after masterpiece, Fuck the Tool vs Vool argument both bands are amazing, Vool have their own sound with amzing lyrics and tight music. Long live Karnivool
If you give a millilon monkey's a type writer each one will eventually write the works of Shakespear. EVEN IF (and i'm not saying they're not, i'm not saying they are) there is a tool influence to karnivool, the fact that they may sound similar could just be purely coincidental because there are only so many sounds that can be made.
And either way, who gives a fuck? tool are great, karnivool are great. Vool's singing > Tool. Tool's technical ability > Vool. IMO ofc.. Children, the lot of you.
i grew up on tool & im proud when someone shows influence. artists will respect this -those who do not create cannot understand this. ive listened to them & primus since early 90s when everyone hated em both -& now im happy to see their influence passed down -karnivool isnt copying anything -theyre doin a good job of making their own sound -they could be way more blatant about it like some others
Wow, after reading the comments you'd think it was illegal for artists to have influences. I love bands that I enjoy listening to. Why does it matter if you can hear the influence of another band in their music? That's all it is, an influence. You want a band that sound exactly like Tool then check out Prisma.
Either a lot of you have never heard of Tool or seen them live or you just have horrible hearing. Karnivool sounds nothing like Tool but you can clearly hear the influence. Also where I come from, usually when you are compared to the best (Tool) it's a compliment. This song is awesome by the way I can't believe it wasn't popular on US radio.
Why cant everyone just see music for what it is... every one draws inspiration from somewhere and in my honest opinion Tool and Karnivool are two of the only bands that are truly exploring all that music has to offer.
The people that bash Karnivool for being "Tool rip offs" listen to bands like Lady GaGa...obviously there are some that are excluded
so birds of tokyo is like tools a perfect circle. i love the comparasin game. What i know is the singer had too albums from to different bands come out strong at the same time, touring with karnivool then going again straight after with the birds. thats dedication to music. sure this dude hasnt stopped. Been listening to karinvool since 03 Fuckin awesome band, and yes im a tool fan aswell but who isn't
@refugeesus F#*$ yes he can i guess everyone here debating Is just piontless but atleast we all have the right think in common and that is we all like metal/ hard rock bands with singers that can actually sing. I'm over the brutal shit these days. and love heavy music with a twist and singers that can provide it. like the mars volta, the birds. tool. apc, butterfly effect, .hinge, dead letter circus and of course these guys. mostly aussie bands too.. check out the red paintings aswell
@refugeesus You are the first person I've seen on youtube (or anywhere for that matter) to say Tool is overrated. I completely agree. There are a decent band, but are not the most innovative musicians in the world. I feel bad for these great bands that are just in the shadows of Tool's giant, 18-eyed, green, metalic-looking, Native-american looking aura of decent music mixed with tons of expirimental noise. Just when I thought music couldn't get TOO creative. This band is better than Tool, IMO.
@klearlykahmerican No way in hell is tool overrated. Do you hear the shit that is coming out today? Tool is one of few 90s bands that are even listenable anymore. Have you even seen them live to say they are overrated? If you haven't seen them live you probably shouldn't be allowed to voice your opinion...regardless of free speach and all that crap.
@refugeesus Yeah fair call it was there ealier stuff that gave us there best songs such as sober and parobala but i guess being a visual artist fan there film clips made them that much better for me. Adam Jones with his other skills as a make-up artist creating fucking awesome trippy designs and characters. aside from that Ian Kenny is the man.. Wish that Karnivool would produce another album and tour more and give the birds a little break. Btw check out my new vid Scumbags and Superstars Cheers
For fucks sake, every damn Karnivool video, scroll down and there it is, the Tool vs Karnivool debate. Getting pretty damn sick of it to be honest, does it really matter if they sound similar or not? In my personal opinion, yes there is a clear Tool influence here, but thats it, its an influence. You cant really deny there is a similarity, what are you completley tone deaf??? But i dont really give a shit, does it matter? Just shut up, listen and enjoy the musicianship of both bands.

So I say stfu about the similarities guys and listen to this amazing band =]
@Bengiuk88 If you're going to have an influence... They honestly do have an original sound, f*%kin seriously, its like someone saying "oh they have Beatles influences" Tool were and are AMAZING! Of course they are going to have an impact on all musicians who come after them!
@Bengiuk88 bout time someone said it. every band has a little bit of other bands in em. we want to make music we like, and we only know what we like because we heard someone else do it. monkey see monkey do. oh and for the record, tool isn't the be all and end all of music. grow the fuck up.
These guys have some songs that sound like tool - thats not a bad thing. not all of their songs sound like tool though. they are a solid sounding band and their influences show. pretty sure thats teh same for any good band :P
Karnivool could not POSSIBLY be any better than tool. Every tool song sounds the same. Talented guys, obviously... they have their own sound... but Karnivool rock so much harder. So much more diverse and melodic. This track rocks so hard, can't wait to see what they do next!

@alexcaminitiYou haven't heard much Tool lol, or you have poor hearing, tell me Jambi sounds anything like 10,000 days, or ticks and leeches sounds like lateralus.
driving bass lines, odd time signatures and similar vocals, if i was trying to describe them to someone from the states i'd say Vool is similar to Tool and visa versa, what order you put them in is just diction.
@azurict They are in the same genre as Tool. However Tool is more metal. But they sound nothing like Tool. Karnivool is more experimental and with not so booring riffs.
@Vool5 LOL Tool is not metal..... they are full on progressive rock! in fact they are one of the bands that help define the genre.. the only thing metal is the alloy used to make Danny Carey's Drum Kit :P ....
@Tinkytanky LOL name 1 example of a tool "metal" song!! if you think there is any you really have to study up on the genres a bit more!! anyways.. not trolling over this......waste of breath
@Tinkytanky MAte all you are doing is proving to the internet how ignorant and unknowledgeable you are.. those songs are all prog-rock.. nothing metal about them.. read up bro!!
People need to stop arguing on about nonsense (i.e. 4 pages of comparing Tool and Karnivool). Just enjoy the things you take the time to search out and watch.
wtf? sounds nothing like tool. what an insult. just another alt rock band with very expensive looking videos and verse chorus verse formulaic radio friendly material. maynard would laugh so hard he'd have cramps.
@kharnvelzyghur Just another Alt Rock band!? Your kidding yourself. While I agree they don't sound like Tool, you cannot diss them either, Karnivool are brilliant in their own way. I was a Tool fan before I heard Karnivool too, so no bias...
@sangadog Check out a karnivool live show - they absolutely destroy and are one of the few bands who sound better live then on their recordings. Unbelievable musicianship. And yes, I have seen Tool live for anyone who wants to draw pointless comparisons.
@feedingear Yeh man, I've seen them live a couple of times, they along with my other fave band Muse, sound unbelievable live! Probably some of the best live acts in the world, cannot wait for Tool to finish my trifecta this coming January!
So what if they are a bit like tool, the singer move's like maynard but thats about it.... Karnivool are fuckin wicked so you all can suck on my love spuds haha!
Tool and Karnivool don't sound anything like each other...Aussie Pride!
Ultimate respect for these guys for standing up against the Illuminati. The video and lyrics are so well thought out. Keep doing what you're doing guys. I wish i was still in australia.
karnivool like tool? i dont know. i am really torn. i dont mind them but i see more resemblances to linkin park which is kind of vile. it's perhaps a bit whingy too be like tool. tol are far more a tripped out blah blah.
I know somepeople do not understand music and are tone deaf but man this band sounds nothing like tool. Besides tool is gone. Stop living in the past. Besides they sound more like korn (ha ha) but a lot better and off the prozac and zoloft nut meds that korn take everyday.
Tool and karnivool are fair different but its kinda hard to describe what karnivool is to someone that doesnt know them, so i think its a fair comparison, theres no other band more famous than Karnivool that you can compare karnivool to.
Okay, everybody really has to shut up about the whole Tool thing. Karnivool sounds like Karnivool, and it rocks. Everybody has an influence, perhaps they listened to a bit of Lateralus before heading into the studio? I don't know. Nevertheless, nothing can sound truly unique, because eeeeeeverybody has to compare it to something else! Cut it out and just enjoy the tunes!
...on a different topic, am I at all alone in thinking that Ian Kenny looks a lot like Shaggy from Scooby Doo in this clip?
Why are people comparing this band to Tool? Are you actually being serious? I would have thought if you listened to Tool, then surely you would be able to pick the fact these 2 bands have VERY different prog rock styles. Surely, no Tool fan worth his/her salt thinks they sound like Karnivool?
Wait, I just read below here that someone was comparing these guys and tool? Seriously? WHERE are the similarities? They're COMPLETELY different for crying out loud.
@apathyguitarist LOOL !! Tool is not calm at all............ there is only Pushit / 10 000days / the patient etc! listen to vicarious.... Forty six and 2 you'll see this is not calm at all !
Comparing this to Tool is like comparing Disturbed to the Deftones. Only a fucking idiot trying to look perceptive would say. Not because its relevent but simply to define his own sense of self absorbtion. Fuck off and die posers.
The only thing you can compare them to Tool with is that mood, that vibe that their music instills in you, like a cold chill throughout your body, before a massive explosion of rockin passion deep within your soul. Absolutely love both bands!
@kchorton2 Just tried to make a point, there's no need for swearing, we all like Karnivool and by saying 'you can't compare Karnivool with anything else, because it's so f*cking great' we like to point out that Karnivool is the best.
I just said that you can compare Karnivool with Tool, just like you can compare a dog with a fridge...
Alternative metal is a very interesting genre, caus the bands in it are barely compared and noone really knows they are all of the same genre, Tool, System Of A Down, Stone Sour, Slipknot, Faith No More, Rage Against The Machine, they are never really put in the same boat and they all have very unique sounds...
wtf whos comparing them to tool. lol they don't even come from the same country. fair enough they love thier off beat times but i'm not going to start comparing these guys to the likes of tool, system of a down or even dreamtheater they have an original sound. if you want to start talking about music that sounds the same just have a look at techno :)
@jmarowell lol, 'they dont even come from the same country', how is that even an arguement. People from australia, including bands, listen to music from overseas, and therefore influences from other countries. thats a pretty common thing if you ask me. Im not saying tool sounds the same as karnivool by the way.
@Morilla33 You should really pay more attention to Tool man, I love both of these bands but Tool's music is more interesting ( In my opinion and with all due respect)
@destroysubgenres That's what my comment was towards. I was reading posts on how people were commenting on how these guys were more interesting than Tool. No way, if you think that you are either A. A homer of the band or B. uneducated about music. Or both. Don't get me wrong these guys are good, but they are no way in the shape or form of Tool.
Easy on Bible storm :) I'm not jizzing in my pants over a game. Just making a statement.... Plus I think my wife would kill me if I brought home a drum kit :) Though I am very keen to learn, its still fun to be able live out the rock dream in my own little world. Take a chill pill mate and enjoy some of the best sounds around :)

These guys have some songs that sound like tool - thats not a bad thing. not all of their songs sound like tool though. they are a solid sounding band and their influences show. pretty sure thats teh same for any good band :P

Karnivool could not POSSIBLY be any better than tool. Every tool song sounds the same. Talented guys, obviously... they have their own sound... but Karnivool rock so much harder. So much more diverse and melodic. This track rocks so hard, can't wait to see what they do next!

driving bass lines, odd time signatures and similar vocals, if i was trying to describe them to someone from the states i'd say Vool is similar to Tool and visa versa, what order you put them in is just diction.

@azurict They are in the same genre as Tool. However Tool is more metal. But they sound nothing like Tool. Karnivool is more experimental and with not so booring riffs.

@Vool5 LOL Tool is not metal..... they are full on progressive rock! in fact they are one of the bands that help define the genre.. the only thing metal is the alloy used to make Danny Carey's Drum Kit :P ....

@kharnvelzyghur Just another Alt Rock band!? Your kidding yourself. While I agree they don't sound like Tool, you cannot diss them either, Karnivool are brilliant in their own way. I was a Tool fan before I heard Karnivool too, so no bias...

@sangadog Check out a karnivool live show - they absolutely destroy and are one of the few bands who sound better live then on their recordings. Unbelievable musicianship. And yes, I have seen Tool live for anyone who wants to draw pointless comparisons.

Tool and karnivool are fair different but its kinda hard to describe what karnivool is to someone that doesnt know them, so i think its a fair comparison, theres no other band more famous than Karnivool that you can compare karnivool to.

Okay, everybody really has to shut up about the whole Tool thing. Karnivool sounds like Karnivool, and it rocks. Everybody has an influence, perhaps they listened to a bit of Lateralus before heading into the studio? I don't know. Nevertheless, nothing can sound truly unique, because eeeeeeverybody has to compare it to something else! Cut it out and just enjoy the tunes!
...on a different topic, am I at all alone in thinking that Ian Kenny looks a lot like Shaggy from Scooby Doo in this clip?

Why are people comparing this band to Tool? Are you actually being serious? I would have thought if you listened to Tool, then surely you would be able to pick the fact these 2 bands have VERY different prog rock styles. Surely, no Tool fan worth his/her salt thinks they sound like Karnivool?

Comparing this to Tool is like comparing Disturbed to the Deftones. Only a fucking idiot trying to look perceptive would say. Not because its relevent but simply to define his own sense of self absorbtion. Fuck off and die posers.

The only thing you can compare them to Tool with is that mood, that vibe that their music instills in you, like a cold chill throughout your body, before a massive explosion of rockin passion deep within your soul. Absolutely love both bands!
4phuckssake 1 year ago
I hate people who say you can't compare Karnivool with Tool,
it's true that they aren't similar in many aspects, and that makes them comparable,
you can't compare an apple with an apple, because they aren't different so there's nothing to compare,
so you CAN compare Karnivool withTool, for example, both bands have long and dynamic songs

I just said that you can compare Karnivool with Tool, just like you can compare a dog with a fridge...

Alternative metal is a very interesting genre, caus the bands in it are barely compared and noone really knows they are all of the same genre, Tool, System Of A Down, Stone Sour, Slipknot, Faith No More, Rage Against The Machine, they are never really put in the same boat and they all have very unique sounds...

jmarowell 1 year ago 2
@jmarowell lol, 'they dont even come from the same country', how is that even an arguement. People from australia, including bands, listen to music from overseas, and therefore influences from other countries. thats a pretty common thing if you ask me. Im not saying tool sounds the same as karnivool by the way.
