    It’s no secret that I’m still a massive Tool fan, but I also don’t really care if anyone hates them lol. I did always love the band name though, because the whole meaning behind it was that their music was intended to be a ‘tool’ to help you in your life in whatever way that it may.

  • @phewiss3066
    @phewiss3066 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    Honestly the name TOOL is what initially drew me into the band. It's just so simple and memorable. You just hear it and start to wonder what their music sounds like. Kinda the same thing with System Of A Down.

    All in the Virgin records in the Louvre in Paris. One of the best Trifecta album purchases I've ever made.

    I just paused the Deathwhite album to catch this video (awesome band with an awesome name). This was fun, and introduces the idea of psychological priming to music . Similar to the idea where we "eat with our eyes" or "judge books by their covers", I think names are insanely important, and prime the listener prior to hearing any music. Streaming has made hearing something, before you know the artist's name, much more of a rarity these days. It used to be that you had to wait for the next 2 songs to complete before the DJ would tell you what you just listened to.

    • @forgemastermetal

    i don't personally enjoy Baby Metal's music, but theyre good for the Japanese metal scene. If you listen to them and get curious about other Japanese metal bands, then youll eventually stumble onto Aldious, Nemophila, Bridear, Mary's Blood, and Lovebites, among many many others. I doubt ill ever be a Baby Metal fan, but ill keep supporting what they do if their music introduces more people to Japan's metal scene

    Tool's not relevant anymore? They sell out arenas. Go look at all the reaction videos on You Tube of people falling in love with them. Specifically hip hop heads. The word "Tool" as an insult is outdated. If they're not your cup of tea I understand. I dislike country music but that doesn't negate the talent of country music artists. I love metal with guttural vocals too. But I also love classic rock and Tool bridges that gap for me. Usually when I see people criticize Tool I report them to Homeland Security. But I'm gonna let you guys slide. :)
