[mrlee]

im confused as to what type of music they are.

Anyone care to explain?

[Neemo]

ummmmm, they are Tool the really have their own sound.
Heavy but weird heavy I dunno how to describe them.
Really Bass driven. Unconventional guitar riffs.

Best. Band. Ever.

You might have enough time, but you're going to have to get down to some serious listening. Which certainly ain't a bad thing.

Stuff like Third Eye is a bit...uuhhh...on a first listen.

I watched some videos of the boys recently, MJK looks to be a pretty good frontman.

haha yea, they took a LONG time to get into, but i became obsessed once it finally "clicked"  i still find some of the later songs on Aenima a bit tough to get into like pushit and third eye but they are growing on me. The problem is i always want to listen to the first six or so songs cuz i love them so much lol. I like Undertow but Lateralus is what i find i listen to the most.

HAHAHAHA new funny promo pics

[mrlee]

the style in which the music is structured (but with much more skill) is like nu-metal from what ive listened to, obviously no rapping either.

[Jim]

nu-metal, eh? Heh, you're funny. 

Now go on son, shoo. Quick! Go on, get out of this thread before one of the hardcores kicks your ass!

Especialy BA, he'll rip your eyes right out dude.

[Markus Asraelius]

I can't wait to hear Tool' New Album. May isn't coming fast enough.

[GnFnR87]

a single should be coming out soon i guess??? rumor has it it will be mid April, which seems a little to close to the release date so maybe earlier.

WTF? How in the blue hell can you compare Tool to Nu Metal in any shape or form. Tool are out there on their lonesome when it comes to artistically diverse songs and structures.

Please back up your theorem with an example.

[mrlee]

as i said, with much more skill.

anyways, like the way songs are like, you have the rythem, you have a quiet down part, then a heavy riff bit with stronger vocals. Same STRUCTURE as nu-metal, im not saying it is nu-metal lol.

maybe cuz they are influence to most of new metal bands...
but saying that tool is nu-metal is like saying that gnr is from the same league of RATT...
