Im am quite fond of their music, though I absolutely dont share the same beliefs as them....
Anyone remember a while back, about Maynard Keenan (singer of Tool) finding Jesus?
Well, it was an April Fool's joke

Beeing that I play drums in real life, I am a fan of Danny Carey's drumming on the Tool albums, but I kind of ignore or "block out" the lyrics when I listen to them. Danny is easily the most talented drummer I have heard in "pop music". He is extremely creative, is constantly playing odd and changing meters and he even incorporates polyrythmns (one of the more difficult things to play on a drumset) into some of their songs. With that said, their lyrics are pretty nasty (mainly on aenima and undertow but not so much on lateralus) and they aren't the type of band that I would reccomend to a Christian friend. With that said, if you are into musicianship, there are plenty of bands/musicians out there that release top notch material with FAR less offensive lyrics (Dream theater for example) and there are even a few Christian artists in the "prog" genre as well (Neal Morse for example).SUGAAAAA wrote:does anyone like them?

Well Maynard/Tool has a long history of playing jokes like that on the fans. They at one point spread the rumour that they were into a philosophy/religion called Lachrymology (supposedly the study of crying) but it turned out to be a big joke as well.Anyone remember a while back, about Maynard Keenan (singer of Tool) finding Jesus?

Im assuming, from their song Third Eye, they have beliefs related to "life is only I dream, were an imagination of ourselves" sort of stuff (related to multiverse theory, alternate realities, string theory, things like that).As far as their beliefs go, other then them probably beeing agnostic and Maynard beeing a liberal (Maynard jumped on the anti-Bush bandwagon late last year hehe) who knows what they believe in.
