GODDAMN!!! SHIT THE BED!!!

@Excovon Yes, I love that song, and I love TOOL, and I hate guitar hero, and it turns good art into popstar shit. There's a difference between selling out and being affiliated with nonsense that screws up the integrity of what you'd be willing to sell out for.

My friends mother met Tool (minus Maynard, who dissapeared into a back room with a woman dressed like a cat) and said Adam is the nicest, most down-to-earth guy she knows. Tool rocks.

I love Tool, but I have a feeling that this game is gonna start opening some younger generations to tool, which has good and bad sides. I love the fact that it just the artwork. It really differentiates the game from the typical venues. Rock on Tool.

FUCKIN A!!!

Is it me or does Adam seem like the nicest guy ever?

@ShadeCrenshaw Because they use a lot of visual art and wanted to incorporate that, as they've never been into glamourising their own image. As for song lengths, Schism and Parabola are around 6mins, and Vicarious is around 7. If i'm not mistaken Pull Me Under - Dream Theater (the end song of the game) is around 8 minutes. Some of the best songs on there are pretty long. The song isn't long to be flash, it's just the way they work, the last few albums has a lot of long, arty songs.

@ainsleywalker I just really did not see the point in the acid trip OR the fact that their songs are stupidly long.

@ShadeCrenshaw Hmm well the way you were ranting on about Tool was very much like a fan of straight forward metal/rock. the kind of people who dont 'get' tool or any bands that write outside the box a bit. Disliking a band is fine of course, but the way you went on was a bit narrow minded.

@ainsleywalker Guns N Roses?

Heard of them, but never heard anything from them.
