Watching this devolution happen over the last 4 years while Tool fans still hang on every lie that comes out. I don't reward bullshit and a lack of professionalism. Tool legitimately disgusts me.
The way you talk about Tool is the same language Elliot Rodger used about women.
Someone alert the authorities.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMN!!!
But seriously...why would I hate a band that has given me so many memorable moments especially in my teen years when I was just beginning to truly evolve as a human. So what they haven't come out with a new album in 'X' amount of years. Should I hate Led Zeppelin and curse John Bonham for being dead and not coming out with a new ALBUM when I WANT. Big fucken deal. I still get to see them live every year or two and I have a blast doing so. I still see live shows (2 in the last week), about 1-2 a month, and stay occupied with other music, work, friends, family and life. For example, if I'm cruising down the highway and The Grudge comes on I'm not like "oh man fuck this band they haven't come out with new music in 8 years", instead I'm like "Fuck yeah this song rocks, it reminds me of so many amazing times I saw this live etc". Everyone needs to get over 'hating' a band because they won't release music when you want. I do not disagree that it's taken more time than usual, but if you are living life to the fullest, and enjoying everything that is thrown your way, big fucken deal a band you really like hasn't come out with a new album.With all the horrible shit that has happened to myself and close friends and family over the past few years, and trust me the struggles have been STRONG, a band (Pink Floyd was just a band, Radiohead is just a band, the Sex Pistols were just a band, The Flaming Lips are just a band, Nirvana was just a band, NIN is just a band, Russian Circles is just a band) not releasing an album in which I deem to be adequate is the least of my fucken worries. So much more heavy and relevant shit in life going on to be worried about when four people are going to release consumable art that most aren't even going to pay for. Good for those that don't have a damn to worry about though besides when a band turns out a bunch of sounds.
After watching the timeline I do agree it is fucked that Danny has come out and said so many optimistic things about the recording timeline etc, and don't get me started on BMB (I guess I'm supposed to remember not to shoot the messenger but I feel trigger happy today so..), so I'm not some blind sheep just sucking James' dick. No excuses for that bullshit.
However, since 10k days has been released I have seen Tool 7x, APC 1x, and Puscifer 2x. Can't even count the amount of insane albums that were released that I listened to, how many other concerts I had been to, how many times I made love to the woman of my dreams, graduated school, made new friends, had memorable experiences with those I was already friends with, recorded/wrote/jammed music, wrote a book, explored, adventured, ate ice cream, went to see live sports games and just had a great fucken time in general. Too busy trying to enjoy life rather than spew negativity towards a band that has provided amazing personal moments, as well as allowing me the opportunity to meet some really amazing people, and provide all of us years of entertainment. That's my grudge towards those that 'hate' a band.
Anyways, while I'm at it, the Tool community is going to fucken implode the second the new album is released with negativity. "I can't believe I waited 'X' years for this shit! Fuck you maynard! Doesn't even sound like Undertow or Aenima! Fuck you TOOL! You disgust me!"
